A certain woman who has . superb ! lace on her dressing table has caused it to be covered with the clear glass, also keeping the dust out of the lace, an insurance against constant wearing laundering. It is a sensible precaution. A Queen's Cupboard. H Queen Alexandra has a quaint ^treasure cupboard," inlaid with mother-o'-pearl. Its only contents are ten casts of hands, five of baby dimensions and five of full size. They are casts of the hands of her majesty's five children, taken at the age of two years and again at the age ef twenty.

Clever people know that it is a sea?on#when "fussy" styles prevail that economy is most easily practiced. This season's types are specially adapted for the "home" or "little dressmaker," and there are endless possibilities for refurbishing out of date attire. Is a skirt too narrow? It can he split up "the front and a contrasting material used in the robe fashion that is seen ?n some of the newest models. Have 3?ou an excellent skirt and passe waist, with no possibility of matching ; ^ the material or even the shade? Don't "X try. Make the new waist of lace and ^ trim it with strappings of the skirt material, or a wide Princess girdle or bodice, -or one of the no-sleeve low-cut styles of waists, with lace gamp and I sleeves, and be assured that you arc in the "tip of the mode," as Lady Bet?1 ty at Tunbridge would have phrased ? * it?New York Mail. . . 1 v Sanitarium Methods at Home. When one comes to the consideration of the bath, the woman treating herpb r. self at home is likely to take exception to the sanitarium regime. Prob^ ably she has been indulging in one or two tub baths a day, and what is shocking, in a literal sense, they have ** been the cold plunge. That this debilitates the nervous system, producing a . temporary stimulation with the inevitable reaction, has lately induced a ; % popular disapproval of it One sanitarium physician always asks, as a H first question, about the patient's ablutions, and as invariably ends by recommending two warm?not hot?tub baths a week, with, of course, the daily sponge bath. If one is in a depleted state the strict observance of this rule Is most urgent. The bath should be In water of a temperature of 94 or 95 degrees, and, if possible, be adminis,. tered by a maid, as the rubbing of the body to a glow is an added stimulus ' to the purging of the pores of impurities. It should never be taken within two hours after eating; and, to assist in the uncompleted digestive processes as well as to relax the vital organs, hot fomentations should be given previously. The attendant protects the patient around the waist with dry flannel covering, and then places over the stomach strips of flannel immers> ed In very hot water, repeating these applications twice for periods of five minutes. After the bath, rest is essential.?Harper's Bazar. How to Have Bright Eyes. Clear, bright eyes are a delightful charm in a woman. This no woman * can possess without a good, healthy body. The eye is affected by the health like other organs of the body, and the should he. bv healthv ex ercise, fresh air and due attention to the necessities of health, to ward off disease and keep a pure mind and a healthy body. It is quite astonishing how depenk dent the eye is upon a person's digestion, and there is a strong sympathy between the eye and the ear. To insure bright and strong eyes through life it is most necessary to take care of them in early youth. Many an infant's eyesight has been marred for life by a careless nurse exposinglthe eyes to too strong a light and every precaution should be. taken through childhood that they should not be strained. The wise do not try their eyes by doing fine work by artificial light. Rest is a wonderful recuperative. The sensibility of the eye depends upon the expansion of the pupil. One fruitful source of trouble for people who have to wear glasses is that they' do not keep them clean. Beauty culturists have taken the eyes under their care from a decorative ./ tAnriDAint. i > J,. Hf ; ibUfl Massage is invaluable for removing the bagginess under the eyes, and brushing the eyebrow with a soft brush does a world of good, especially if on the brush a little tonic is employed. The last clever notion of the beauty culturist is to massage the eyelids so that they look full and white. Veils when constantly worn are injurious to the eyesight. Cleanliness and pure air are all im- i portant and It is an admirable plan to bathe the eyes in cool water daily, especially if they are much exposed t? dust. It is hurtful to rub the eyes whei waking. The natural decay of sight begint after the middle years of one's life, and if the first warning of any strain is neglected, the sufferer lays up a | store of trouble. With normal and proper care ot mind and body a person's eyesight should be of the best and the eyes themselves bright and attractive.?New York Journal. For Women Who Go Autoing. An embroidered cover for the pneumatic cushion which your friend puts beneath her feet when motoring would v make an acceptable gift. Select some heavy material, like denim, and put on it an appropriate design worked in a coarse but effective stitch. A great many women are prejudiced against the rubber lined coat, but it has its place and often prevents a drenching. The really nice ones are soft and pliable and can be folded almost as closely as those that have no rubber in them. The outside is silk and has the same nice appearance as the all-silk garment, and the inner side is perhaps a soft gray plaid. Very handsome are the silk vests all embroidered ready to adjust to the coat of your swell auto costume, white with old-blue and gold embroidery, and tan with black and gold being two of the prettiest combinations. The straw covered smelling bottles J are nuite the thine to carrv on an au- I tomobile picnic party, for some one is always liable to be taken ill without warning or at least to have an unsolicited headache. A clover leaf needle bock for the auto tourist is a dainty and convenient trifle. Green art linen is used, the petals being four inches wide. This is lined with white silk and bound with white ribbon, and the flannel leaves inside are fitted out with needles and pins of every description, and the whole tied together with narrow ribbon. The leather leggins for automobiling are serviceable as well as handsome, for the tramp through the wood or meadow is often a pleasurable part of the short auto trip. "Motor" describes several boots for motoring wear that are being made for a social leader in New York. One is in the softest of bronze kid and lined throughout with beaver, the length coming well nigh to the knee. Another set is in pale-gray ooze calf, to match a coat-and-skirt suit of the same material. These are lined with a white rabbit fur flecked here and there with tiny black tails to simulate an ermine lining, which extends right down to the toes. The boots are assuredly a triumph of the bootmaker's skill, for, ' - * V- - * J/N ~ /-t* in spue OI tne lurry uuiug, triey uu iiwl seem a single size larger than one would ordinarily wear for walking purposes. Plaids are worn considerably. Ono of the stunning "warm" coats is o? what is c,alled an English blanket cloth. The cuffs, which with the collar are of plain material, button close to the wrist, the front is double breasted, there are-generous pockets, and if one likes plaids, she could get lots of comfort out of. such a coat at this season on her trips out into the country, which require warm clothing for the air is yet chilly. The hat pin topped with mercury wings is considered appropriate for fastening one's hat when motoring. Of course there are other designs, too, and she who wants to be smartly dressed will look after these little details. Every woman who motors must give special care to her face if she would not have a coarse skin after the long season of outdoor driving. The very best cream and astringent is none too good, and if she does not know how to give herself a good massage, or does not care to, she will do well to make a practice of visiting a facial masseuse regularly and often. The "hood and scarf" is a new model and an impressive one even if it does not appear so. The hand extends around the forehead and fastens with ball and socket snaps in the back. The hood protects the ton and hack of the Ko-a/i anri tio.s under the chin, scarf fashiOD. The electrically-lighted road map is one of the conveniences for those who have to travel nights. With the green coat is worn a green veil, indeed it is quite the vogue to have your veil and coat match in color. OOMPLETEST BUSINESS BUILDING j | Features of W. L. Douglas' Adminis- ! tration and Jobbing House. j | The dedication of the new adminis- ; tration and jobbing house burldiug ! erected at Brockton, Mass., by the W. i L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Mon- l tello was marked by the thoroughness 1 and attention to detail characteristic 1 of the firm in all its undertakings. 1 As the new building Is said to be the * most complete and convenient of any ever built for a commercial house in the United States, so were the expres- j sions of appreciation bj tbe many persons who visited it for inspection sincere and of a highly congratulatory nature. The dedicatory program included open house from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. with concert by the Mace Gay orchestra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all Tbe building Itself afforded a feast for tbe eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out, including over 11,000 to the retail dealers in the United States, who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufacturers and all allied Industries in Brockton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interested call The new building is situated just north of the No. 1 factory on Spark street, facing the Montello railroad station. Its completion marks the establishment of a modern up-to-date wholesale Jobbing house and office building. Mr. Douglas has long considered the advisabllty of a jobbing house, not only for the purpose of supplying his own retail stores more read- J ily, but that the 11,000 dealers thnough- j out the United States handling the W. Li. Douglas shoe might be able to obtain shoes for immediate use with gi'eater facility. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and ens' tomers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their huriy orders shipped the same day they are received, which will be far more. satisfactory to the customer and will result in a largely-Increased business to the W.

At the head of the staircase in i the mosaic floor appears the word ; "Atrium," the name of the inner hall, j planned and decorated after the man- j ner of the central apartment of the Pompeiian house. This room is direct- ! ly in the center of the main building, being 26x6S and 16 feet in height, and Is lighted by three large celling sky- j lights of classic design. Around the atrium are placed the j private offices, where the heads of the departments are located, with their j assistants. Beginning at the right of ! the main entrance, in order, are those : of the <J. t\ Richmond, buyer; H. T. j Drake, general superintendent; Hon. j \V. L. Donglas, president; and H. L. | Tinkbam, treasurer. They are finished i and furnished in mahogany and are ensuite. Mr. Douglas* own room occupies the southwest corner of the building, and is a very handsome apartment To the left of these comes j the room of C. D. Nevlns, assistant treasurer, Mrs. Marlon Shields, correspondence clerk, and the store department On the east of the atrium arid open- ! ing into this hall are two alcoves sep- r arated by mahogany counters, the j fronts of which are plate glass and ! grilles of bronze. These are the offices ' of Warren Weeks, paymaster, and j Harry L. Thompson, the bookkeeper. The nest in order to the left are two j rooms devoted to the credit department one the private office of A. T. Sweetser and the other occupied by his clerks. The next two offices are those j of F. L. Erskine, advertising manager, j and his assistants. The three other rooms completing : the outer wall line of the atrium are the reception room to the left of the staircase hall, directors' room and lavatory and the sample room. Here are located the telegraph instruments, telephone switchboard and booths for j use of guests. The directors' room is a fine cham- ! ber occupying the space in the north- j west corner of the" building. This j room Is finished and furnished in ma- j bogany and all appointments' are in i keeping. Here hangs a portrait in oil | of Mr. Douglas, the president The i last room in this series is the sample j ' room, also in mahogany.

How She Escaped It. When a physician tells a womat suffering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and' the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and jur hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. I \jWittAfargtetAferl(l(>y I There are cases where an operation* isjthe only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Hnkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: 44 Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after making an examination, said I hrid a female trouble and ulceration and advise! an operation. To this I strongly obiected end decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

( A young disciple of Blackstone, who had worked his way through college and taken a full course in the study of law besides, was making a trip through the Soutiwest in search of an eligible location for the practice of his profession. A thrifty young city, with a considerable body of water on one side of it and a forest on the other, attracted his attention* and he decided to make a few day's stay and investigate. "Putting up" at what seemed to he the best hotel, he ate his dinner, then strolled into the office, and proceeded in. a careless way to interrogate the clerk. "There is a good deal of business done in. this town, isn't there?" he asked. ? "Yes, sir," answered the young man. "In one way and another there's a good jag of business going on here." "Healthy place, isn't it?" "Middling." "Is there much litigation here?" "No, I haven't heard of any cases of that, but there's a lot of chills an' fever, and occasionally a bad case of the grip." Mites and tfawks, Two Chicken Enemies. In his lectures before the students of the Agriculture Department of the University of Missouri T. E. Orr, secretary of the American Poultry Association, told methods of combatting mites and chicken hawks that might easily be used by every Missouri housewife. Mites, he says, might be gotten rid of by spraying the chicken house with a mixture of one part crude carbolic acid and eight parts carbon oil. This mixture he recommends in preference to mite exterminators sold by traveling agents. Hawks, he claims, may be kept out of the poultry yard by attaching bright pieces of tin, six by ten inches, to the trees and poles surrounding quarters, by strings two feet long so that the wind will make the bright metal dance in the sunlight. Both steel and gold pens axe apparently doomed. Dr. Werner von Bolton delivered before the ElectroTechnical Association in Berlin, the other day, an address in which he described the new metal tantalite, which is so hard that a diamond drill makes no impression on it.
