CLOTHES AND THE CIRU College Students Classified bj One of Their Nu'nber. V "When a girl comes to a Woman's college she usually decides upon the character of her unknown classmates, judging not by their voices, nor by their faces, nor even by their actions, but by the way they wear their clothes," says a woman's college stu dent, who thereupon proceeds with her classification. "She Ingeniously places these unfamiliar girls In four families, the Dowdies, the Prims, the motherless Miss Fortunes, and those delightful friends, the Ladles de Bonheurs. "The first family and Its relations are met everywhere. Their clothes are badly or indifferently put on; buttons are missing, tears are frequent; sev eral loose ping hold the hair In place. One has no need to enumerate further. The Inky fingers could not but hand In a smeary paper with sentences loosely 1 constructed, and the thoughts strung " together. No use to Inquire Into her character; the thoughtlessness, the carelessness reflect the indifferent, don't care nature. "As her opposltes, the Misses Prim are a pleasant contrast. Their clothes shine with constant brushing; buttons and fasteners are abundant; and yet there Is a stiffness, oftentimes amount ing to linvdness, in these demure sis ters. Like the shoulders of their dresses their work Is narrow. They do not come enough out of their shells to show their nature. "The old toast runs 'Here's to Dame Fortune, may you never meet her daughter. Miss Fortune.' Yet there Is something pleasing about these girls with the stnrtling bands on their arms, and with their well groomed appear ance. Their English papers may often be careless, their moods changeable; fact, it Is hard to distinguish be tween these girls, who flatter them selves on living a la mode, but they are clean—and cleanliness is next to godliness. "And now, those girls and women who are extreme In nothing except; perhaps, In kindness. Their clothes are genial and friendly; If stylish they seem to have been made to give you pleasure; If unneat, you know It Is a mistake. The cheerful attractiveness exhales a loving, thoughtful disposi tion. Their work cannot but be broad and sympathetic, their aim to help oth ers. '•'•"•■" His, • "Psychologists saythat habits formed before the age of twenty-one are not easily broken. Tho way girls dress during the years they spend In college Is the keynote of their after character, at least the note sounded by the ordi nary passer-by."—New York Tribune. Like Yet Unlike. "Have you ever noticed," she said, "how much the setting of a person has to do with your liking for them? I mean the place, or the people they are with. Some persons who are charming In one situation are not at all attrac tive In another, although they them selves may bo precisely the same. 1 remember, for instance," she contin ued pensively, "falling In love in Gey many, and falling very much out of It in London—all on account of the differ ent point of view, for the man himself had not changed, but my German sol dier baron, who seemed like a hero of romance In Germany, looked so queer and different from the Englishmen I knew when he enme over to see me in civilian's dress, that nil my liking for him vanished." "Yes, I know how that is," answered the man to whom she was speaking. 4'l, too, had tho same experience. I happened one year to spend a few weeks on the coast of Maine, and there was a little maiden there In a pink sun honnet, who was too fetching for any thing. She was spending the summer with her people, plain sort of parties who didn't much count Well, we be came grent friends, and' I came very near making a great fool of myself. Fortunately, however, I waited to make sure of my feelings, but I was most Impatient for her return to New York, and called Immediately. Well, I had a shock. Gowned In a New York street dress she was a different creat ure—and her homo looked stuffy and altogether unattractive. I had intend ed asking my sisters to call upon her, but I gave up that Idea at once, and. al though I am by no means of a fickle nature, that visit was my first and last, yet the girl was undoubtedly the.same nice little thing that 1 had so nearly 1 lost my heart to In the summer. It Just tshows, as you say, what creatures of circumstance we all are!"— New York Tribune. Manners of Business Women. A reeent contributor to the Independ ent notes a marked Improvement in the manners of the average business wom an. She realizes the value of time, this writer thinks; she Is prompt In her ap pointments, self possessed and digni fied In her behavior and does not ex pect the lion's share of every bargain just becnuse she Is a woman. "Wom en are realizing," continues the article, "what men long ago found out—that propriety which Is based on the recog nition of mutual rights Is a much finer thing and the product of a higher de jgree of civilization than the courtesy is bnsed on privilege. The for mer bad manners of women In business In public generally proceeded, like the gaueberle of tlie countryman In the city, from Ignorance of the forms and (usages of tlie new environment rather than from any luteutlon of being rude or selfish. As women gain self-knowl edge tliey lose In self-consciousness, which Is the root of all bad manners. In the Isolation of the borne women bad no opportunity to cultivate the courtesies of Intercourse and acquire the ease which comes from contact with men of many minds. When wom en first entered the business world they were apt to be brusque and over bearing or silly and flirtatious. Now they join tlie tact of the woman to tlie efficiency of the man and men no long er dread to do business with them." To Succeed Socially. When a Woman lias the courage tp think for herself and to be original and honest she posseses keynote to so cial success. The first essential to ward social success is personal magne tism; that much coveted quality is to think and act for oneself. The next essential Is to be a good listener. A good listener absorbs all the best things she hears, and casts aside the worth less things that would be of no use to her. To absorb the best of everything around you and make the best of your self Is a quality that cannot be too highly commended. Never copy or Imitate any one else, however much you may admire them, for there is where you lose yourself In another's personality. Many women In reading a book that has created a stir In literary and other circles gush and rave about It simply because it Is popular; would It not be much better to read a book Intelligently and then if It does not Interest you or you do not like It have the courage to say so, even If you do differ with others? It is In just such small matters as the above that a woman shows she has the courage to think for herself and have original opinions. She then be comes interesting and to be Interesting Is to succeed socially.—American Queen. Bounty and Amiability. The woman who can control herself under the most trying circumstances is the woman who holds the strongest power over men. The average man prizes permanent peace and content above the happiness of possessing a beautiful, attractive creature for a wife, and he knows that a bad-tempered woman and peace go not together. The assertion from a woman that she has a I)ad temper, and Is proud of It, has kept more than one worthy man from nsklng her to share his future as his wife. No matter how beautiful and brainy and fascinating the bad tempered wom an may be, or how lengthy her bank account, her power Is Infinitesimal compared with that of her amiable sis ter. And amiability is not only power, it Is mental progression and health and happiness and long life to one's self and to one's friends and family.—New York News. Lace, An Egyptian lace has many queer lit tle figures In It, all Idols and eats and strangely Incongruous figures for lace work. In the pattern there are also wandering Hues of gold, as though a big fly, harnessed with gold silk, had traveled over the surface. An Egyptian skirt and blouse were madq for a fashionable woman. The material was white silk and the Egyp tian feature lay In the Oriental flounce and in the Oriental silk on the blouse. The style was plain, and the whole might be carried out In black, to the great delight of the woman who likes a handsome nil-black gown. The woman In all-black has many temptations this year, for tbey now bare away of combining colors that are harmonious to the last degree. The deep reds and the brighter reds, with a little white and some brown, are used In embroideries, and these are cm ployed to trim the gowns of the season. Lace Knots For the Hair. Knots of lace make pretty hair orna ments. Inch wide lace Is wired In the shape of a square bow, two loops and two ends. In the centre Is fastened a tiny aigrette and a small rhinestone or namont Silver paillettes are sewed on the lace at Intervals. Ribbon bows are left with one end unfastened that It may be wound round the coll of hair when the coiffure Is small. Rosettes of tulle are mounted on gilt wire pins and are very dainty In the hair. Rosettes made of tulle are shown In pairs to be worn on dancing slippers. A small rhinestone ornament Is fast ened In the centre of each. Ostrich pompons, small white mer cury wings, tiny ostrich feathers and large white down pompons are tho most popular hair ornaments in feath ers. Care of the Hair. I Many people are under the Impres sion that a vigorous brushing of a hun dred strokes at night and In the morn ing will have the effect of making the hair grow. This Is a mistake. The brush should only be applied with a very gentle, almost caressing, motion. Its only use is to impart gloss and make tjhe hair smooth. To properly brush the hair care should be taken to part It at the middle and gently brush downward on each side from parting to points, with long, even strokes. Frequent massaging of the scalp will be found beneficial, and will do much toward promoting the growth of the hair. Coral nui! Tnrquolse. Between the present rage for tornl and also for turquoise, there should be no question of heeomlngness, either to blonde or brunette, for If turquoise is considered admirably fitted to the blonde typo of woman, so coral Is con sidered one of the best things a brun ette can wear to bring out tbe full beauty of ber coloring, snys tbe Phila delphia Inquirer. Tho Jewelry shops show all sorts of novelties in coral and turquoise—dog collars,lorgnette chains, mounted side combs, barrettes, pend ants and earrings. /.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v/.v. l\ HOUSEHOLD * * * l\ * * * * MATTERS ■: 'j'.v.hkv.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v;!

Wet umbrellas should be turned up side down to dry, ns the water will run off the handle Instead of luto the part where the ribs meet, so causing the metal to rust and the silk to rot. Never leave an umbrella open to dry, for In tills way the silk is allowed to become stretched and the umbrella loses its good shape. Rave tlie Soap lllta. In every well ordered bath room a small wide mouthed earthern jar should be kept. Into It should be thrown the scraps of toilet soap that are too small to be used In bathing, and which should not be wasted. When the jar is full the soap should have pored over It a cupful of warm water nud then two teaspoonfuls of glycer ine should be placed In the jar. The result will be a jelly-like consistency that may he used Instead of a cake of soap. To Re-Enamel a Rath* To re-euamel a bath buy proper hath enamel. The ordinary kind will not stand hot water. Wash the tub thor oughly with hot, soapy water first, and rub all over with sandpaper to make the surface smooth before using the en nmel. Heat the enamel slightly by standing the tin In a howl of hot water before using. This thing It, and It Is easier to apply evenly. It will need two or three coats, and each must be al lowed to thoroughly dry before the next Is applied. The Nursery Walls* The best pictures sjiould adorn the walls of the nursery during the baby days of a child, so that he may become familiar with them. Beautiful pictures are an education, Olid copies of the best works of art can be obtained for very little money. Teach a child the meaning of n picture, so thnt the story will always he asso ciated In his mind with the picture It self. "Raphael's "Angels," the "Ma donna" and Rosa Bonhcur'g animal paintings would all Interest a child, nnd he would not tire of them half so soon as he would of the brightly col ored pictures cut from newspupers and magazines. The walls of a nursery should be cov ered with paper of subdued shade— gray or green, or, If preferred, a dull blue or pink with a tiny floral pattern. Such paper forms a very good back ground for pictures, and the copy need only be mounted on gray cardboard or placed la a narrow oak frame, Ilang your pictures where the chil dren can see them without the aid of a ehnlr, and be sure to place them In the best possible light. As the child's age Increases other pictures may be introduced, so that by tlie time he has outgrown Ills nursery (lays he will have learned to appreciate many of the greatest works of art.— American Queen.

BULLET-PROOF CLOTH. Successful Tests of a New Invention Re* ported. Exports in military affairs, not only in this country, but in Europe as well, will no doubt watcli with much interest the further tests of the bullet-proof textile fabric invented by Casimir Zeg lin, which was experimented upon at the Ninth Regiment Armory in this city the other day. Shots were tired from revolvers of various calibres at from five to oight_yards from the cloth, and not one of the bullets went entirely through the cloth. The first official test of the Zeglln cloth was made at Fort Sheridan on August 11, when a Krag-Jorgensou rifle was used. The test was declared by the official board to be successful, the cloth having ful filled all the claims of the inventor. There have been several inventions of bullet-proof cloth In the past few years, the most notable ones being the inventions of Hiram T. Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim gun, and Herr Dowe, a tailor, of Mannheim, Germany. The latter invention was said to be a valuable one, and the in ventor refused several large offers made to him by firms of army con tractors and others. One of the most pronounced tests was made by the Rus sian Ambassador to England, who used a new German army ritle, selecting his cartridges at random from a box. The first shot was at a block of solid oak, the shot piercing through. The next shot was at the garment, which Herr Dowe had put on, who, nfter the shot, smiled and said, "I feel nothing." Sev eral other shots were fired, the bullets being found afterward imbedded in the coat. Then a horse was wrapped in some of the bullet-proof cloth, and shots were fired in rapid succession while the horse was eating oats in his stall. The horse started nt the first shot, but none of the bullets pierced the cloth. The garment worn by Herr Dowe looked like ordinary army cloth ing material, the resisting substance being placed beneath the outside cloth. The garment was in the nature of a breastplate, fastened to the side but tons of the soldier's uniform, weighing about six pounds, and intended to be worn only in actual warfare. Subsequently Mr. Maxim made a cuirass of certain organic and inor ganic substances, about fourteen inches by sixteen Inches, one and one-half inches thick and weighing about ten pounds. The exhibition of this mate rial was given in England, and caused much surprise, but when Mr. Maxim exposed his secret after the test, it was looked upon more as a joke than any thing serious. However, he declared that the test was an earnest one, and to show thnt a bullet-proof garment could be made with little trouble. His cloth or protector consisted of a steel shield inside of a bag, which simply arrested the initial energy of the bul let and prevented any injury being done. Since then little or nothing has been heard of Herr Dowe's cloth, or the 8,000,000 marks said to have been offered to him by the German Govern ment for his Invention.—New York Tribune. Dr. Isorenz'B Modest Greatness. At one of his first clinics In New York City Dr. Lorenz remarked apol ogetically : "I am sorry that this has to be done In so much haste. If I had the time I should like to give up two hours to tills operation. But you know every thing is rush In New York." On Friday, at a clinic in the operat ing room of the Bellevue Medical Col lege before an audience of fully 400 persons, the famous Austrian surgeon showed that he can easily set the pace, even in this city of haste, by reducing a double hip dislocation in one minute and twenty-five seconds. This was done not to Illustrate the facility with which in certain cases the bloodless surgery may be performed, but sim ply in the course of professional busi ness. To illustrate the difference between the old method and the new, Dr. I-orcnz remarked thnt lie had per formed 200 similar operations by cut ting, but had abandoned that system three years ago, and since that time has performed upward of 1000 opera tions by his present method. When, as in the case mentioned, the brief space of time required for an operation thnt restores to a child the natural use of its limbs is considered, it is not strange that the skilful surgeon is re garded as almost a wonder worker, and thnt praise and thanks enough to turn the head of an ordinary man are showered upon him. Dr. Lorenz deserves the praise which Is now his in generous measure all the more because of the modesty of its re cipient and his freedom from petty am bition, which leads him to give freely to his fellow professional workers as well as to suffering humanity the bene fits of his skill and method.—New York World. Clothes and tlie Mnn* "Clothes may not make the mnn," said an observant lawyer the other day, "but they have considerable effect upon tlie wearer. "There is a man whom I meet nearly every day on Ann street at the noon hour. He usually wears a rusty brown suit and a derby that matches it in rus tiness, and he slouches along, dodging right and left as If to avoid collision with better dresseil men. "But often on bright, clear days the man appears in a broadcloth, with pat ent leathers, and n silk tile, walks firm ly with head erect, and lets the others do the dodging ns he keeps to the mid dle of the narrow Ann street sidewalk. "I have often seen him in his shabby garb step out into the street to let oth ers pass, but the other day, when he was dressed up, a youth who got in his path was waved aside with a pompous but not ill-humored " 'Let me pass, my lad.'
