t- Health the Best Cosmetic. Evprybody should be beautiful now. judgment fr-m the elaborate advice , given in ladies' papers, writes Lady ; Violet Greville in London Graphic, ?yet the most beautiful complexions ;and the greatest youthfulness of skin and appearance I have seen were in i ladies who had never used cosmetics or anything stronger than distilled .water, cold ci earn and perhaps milk of roses or elder-flower water. Health is the best cosmetic, and fresh air the most excellent panacea. Above all, let us avoid being raddled with red and smeared with white like the eighteenth century belles. Apropos of Clothes. A Japanese woman of rank has come ?to America to study dress reform. It is rather odd that women in the Far East should wish to copy our modes, ju?t as the Western women are com ing to the conclusion that the Japan ese have solved the problem of truly artistic and comfortable female habili ,ments. It is a pity for the almond eyed beauties of the Flowery Kingdom to vulgarize themselves by wearing ?Parisian clothes. Can no one stop the sacrilege, for sacrilege it really seems to be, bj' convincing the court women 'of Japan that they would make thc ?mistake of their lives if they should allow their beautiful and picturesque national costume to go out of exist ence?-New York Tribune. " j Correct ?Fizo for Womnn's Stockings. ! %'l notice that the hosiery sales jwcmen of Washington have a system :of measurement which I do not re member ever to have seen elsewhere," ?said the woman from the West. *'I ?went into one of your largest- shops ?one day recently to buy something lietching in embroidered blue lisle jthread. Of course, the saleswoman 'asked me what size I wanted, and I j didn't know, but I wanted something ?that wouldn't bag at the ankle. Tho ?saleswoman asked me to hold out my ?doubled-up fist. Then she took ihe ; stocking and measured the length ?of the foot around my fist. Heel and ?toe came together and lapped over. I " 'That pair is a half size too large,' ?said the saleswoman. 'This,' and she 'took up a stocking with a foot just llong enough to encircle my hand, 'this lis your size.' "-Washington Post. The Windows of II or Soul. A famous beauty specialist recora ?mends those among her patients who j suffer from styes and other weak nesses of the eyelids, like red rims, j to bathe them with a solution of sea ;Salt and water. Zinc ointment, she ?has repeatedly noticed, acts like a (Charm when the eyelashes have 'dropped out as a result of weakness of the eyes, bringing them into full ~^adr luxuriant growth again, but it is inot the least good for a woman whose .eyelashes are normal to use it in thc .hope of improving them. Eyebrows ?she accentuates by first of all combing them the wrong way up, and then by .?brushing them back to lie smoothly ?and in a symmetrical curve, and she says that tthe systematic pursuit of jthis plan, with the daily use of almond ?oil for scanty brows and eau de col ogne for ragged and untidy .ones, is 'a .wonderful producer' of permanent {prettiness. The Al SM i ii; ii tirald Kow. A recent and worthy invention for the retaining of the hair when done up In braids is called the "Alsatian Braid Bow." This is a clever little arrange ment through which a bow of ribbon fis passed In such manner that there is no necessity for the ribbon being (wound around the hair. i j lt is a well-k?ow? fact that when iyou tie the ribbon around the hair lonee it is mussed up, so when you Icome to tie it the second time it ap jpears much like a wet siring. With ?but a quarter of a yard of ribbon it is possible with this new invention to make a bow which requires neither tying nor sewing and can be used for an indefinite time. The/foung girl who is always using )hair,/>Tibbons will appreciate another ble characteristic of this new 'braid bow, which is, that it is impos sible for the ribbon to become untied ifrom the hair without being manipu lated by the fingers. The ribbon can be changed instantly, and attached to the hair in a minute. Hints for Hotn?s Dressmaking:. j Without much labor or expense Teady-made skirts, elaborately tucked and intersected with guipure or Olen con insertion lace, with sufficient ma terial for the bodice, may be obtained at reasonable prices in an endless variety of designs suitable for fash ionable promenade or evening wear, and only need a small amount of ex perience to put together, as nearly all the newest designs in gowns of this description have the lining foundation of silk or sateen made separate, the color of which may be varied from time to time. Bought skirts of this kind are, as a rule, somewhat full round the hem, so that the silk foundation will have to be in seven breadths-this is, a front, two side pieces each side and two backs, and, whatever the length of front may be, the center of back seam must measure five inches longer, or if it is to be of cotton six widths will be sufficient. And should the ready-made skirt be too.short narrow frills of lace or glace silk might be sewed on to the sep erate foundation.-Washington Star. Hnail Work Everywhere. It Is astonishing what a quantity of hand work one sees on street clothes nowadays. Everywhere one comes across bits of the most elaborate em broidery, in vests, cuffs and collars, black being introduced with deep reds, blues and yellows with superbly decorative result. Sometimes the em broidery is in the Russian cross-stitch, with the rich tan of the coarse canvas . upon which it is worked showing at .tervals. This, in red and black, is very chic on flannel . shirtwaists in solid colors, the embroidery forming collar, cuffs, button band and belt. Some very rich hand embroidery in gold and black threads appears on a bolero which is copied from a late French gown. This costume is as as tounding as it is effective in the com bination of its materials. A skirt and sleeves of bright red frieze are min utely checked with narrow lines in black; the novel jacket is red cloth, while the under bodice and lower sleeves are no less than a black jersey in spun silk! Where the panels of the jacket lap, back and front, are placed small gilt buttons in rows of three. The stocfc, belt and elbow puffs are of the tinsel embroidery on tho red cloth, and the flounces and odd tablier of the skirt arc outlined by a stitched band in plain red. Helen Kellar on a Warship. Heir a Keller spent her summer va cation in Halifax, and when the In diana visited that Canadian city Miss Keller was invited to go on board. Lieutenant James J. Raby did the honors of the day. In a letter which sqeaks of that visit lie writes: "it vas an honor to show Miss Keller over the Indiana, and the very happiest incident of the cruise for me. Her delight at being aboard was a great pleasure to me, and more than once my eyes filled v/ith tears when I looked at heF beautiful face that could not return my gaze. She is a wonder ful woman, and I was astonished at her knowledge of ships and their ap pliances. When we showed her the turret she wanted to know where tho 'sighting-hood' was. I had never be fore known a woman who knew what a sighting-hood is, so that you can well imagine my surprise." When the Spanish war was in full blast Miss Keller first heard from the news papers of the "sighting-hood," and it was ever after her ambition to know for herself what it was."-Boston Transcript. Sweet Simplicity In Morning Gowns. Sweet simplicity is just now thc rule for cotton morning gowns abroad and at home, and most of the little confec tions which smart dressmakers are showing have a diary maid air that is most alluring. Thc stamp of the frock comes chiefly through the way in which it is worn, and of course suitable ac cessories are required to create the ensemble of undeniable elegance necessary for the woman of fashion. Nevertheless, the whole effect of one of these pretty print costumes-for even the old time calicos are seen in tnem, in designs of trellised vines and stiff, quaint roses-is one of rural charm. When a pink and green print is topped by a rough straw hat crowded with old maid roses, cherries or apple boughs, the result is refresh ingly countrified. The model of the cotton gown is unusually as simple as the material. A dimity spotted wth blue pois (ob longs) or patterned with delicate green clover leaves or pink apple blossoms, will have the full skirt tucked closely to below the knees, from where is falls full around the feet in a deep lace or footing edged flounce. The gathered bodice also re veals insets of this airy but durable trimming, set between clusters of fine horizontal tucks or crosses the mate rial in large diamonds or squares. It ia belted taut at the waist with rib bon, which may likewise form the stock, over which falls a turnover col lar of the net and dimity.-Chicago Record-Herald. Makins: Sugarplums for a Living. A certain New York confectioner used to run a free cooking class in connection with his candy shop and catering business. The cooking class was in reality a clever way to adver tise his chocolate. The principal items of the cookery lessons were chocolate creams, chocolate cakes and chocolate to drink. Of course, all these things were evolved from the confectioner's own unsurpassed choc olate and its name and its superiority were dinned into the ears of the pupils of the cooking class until they finally left in despair. The dissolution of the school followed. Nevertheless tho popularity' it achieved, in spite of its limitations and drawbacks, showed Low prosperous such a school might be if properly run. In London there is a flourishing confectionery estab lishment run entirely by women, and a school for would-be confectioners, is run in connection with the ordinary business. The students meet in a bright, clean kitchen, equipped with copper saucepans, marble slabs and porcelaine pipkins. They wear big aprons ano white mob-caps and their sleeves are rolled un to thc elbows. Some of these pupils are ambitious lo become managers of similar establish ments of their own. The concern in question is carried on in connection with a restaurant and tea room, and since tea rooms are often managed by women, pupils from such estab lishments are coming in increasing numbers to this confectionery school. One course, in which only two pupils can be taken at a time, includes the making of cakes, sweets, ices, book keeping and shop management. All the latest Inventions of the confec tioner's art are mastered by these women as readily as they appear, for they find it necessary in this, as in every field ol' work, to keep abreast of the times.-New York Commercial Advertiser. ^^^^^^^ Belt pins in gun metal are new and are found in a variety of designs. The newest hatpins include un usually large openwork balls, topped with a jewel. Steel studded satin, .vith fancy steel buckle, makes a pretty belt to wear with gray cr dark toned shirt wasts. Luminous is the descriptive term applied to a new shimmery variety of satin particularly adapted for fancy waists. An ivory cloth gown with yoke of coral passementerie seen at one of the recent exhibitions was especially ci fective. Calf skin upper, with vici kid vamp, is an excellent combination for a street shoe. The sole is moderately extended. Irish point lace in clear white is used for some of the exquisite even ing waists that have arrived this fall from Paris. One of the smartest shirtwaists seen this fall was of coral cloth stitched in self color and fastened with email gilt buttons. On the left side was a tiny pocket. Cuff links are attractive, of curved oval, pink tinted, baroque pearls, each pearl held with four little clamps of gold. It is much prettier than a solid setting of gold. Chinchilla is to be extensively used for trimming purposes this winter, particularly with velvet. In combina tion with almond green or black velvet it makes an especially handsome gar niture. Black, white, royal blue and brown, with rings or large polka cots of white, are the preferred colorings in the chiffon vailings used for hat drapery. Some of the blue and brown vailings are dotted in s^-f color. Bees of Fine Discrimination. Morclia has some other 'cl things; for example, the sweetmeat mds un der the portales, or arcs where friendly bees and wasps de\ d the candies, and were not scare T. I asked an old woman sitting . 'd a large stand, loaded with candn . "int, dulces of all sorts, sugar-plurv and molasses candy: "Won't these bees sting a fellow?" "Oh, no, senor, don't be afraid; they are muy inteligentes, and can tell a cus tomer right off !" "But would they sting a thief, for instance?" "Certainly, senor; they arc very in telligent. Poor things, they do no harm and arc much company. They must live!" I watched these winged insects with all their panoply of war ready, and was fascinated. Then I asked another ques tion : "But would not a Morclian bec sting a Yankee?" "Not if he were a customer, cabal lero!"-Mexican Correspondence Bos ton Herald. A QUESTION OF NEED. "What have yeti donc wit?? all the money I gave you for campaign pur poses?" asked Senator Sorghum . "I K?ve put it where it was needed," answered thc agent. "That's what I thought," was the disconsolate answer. "Before I can re ly on getting it all placed, I suppose I've got to wait until vou get more than you need " A CitiiOTio Custom.

It is occasionally desirable in a bathroom window or in one having an objectionable outlook to have au opaque pane. The pretty frosted ef fect often seen in restaurants and saloons can be readily produced at home at little cost. To a pint of stale ale add a handful of Epsom salts. Mix and apply with a brush. This makes a hard finish that will remain indefinitely, or, if desired, may be removed by scrubbing at any time. Art of 1'iano Draping. An excellent way for screening the unsightliness of the back of an up right piano when turned away from tho wall, as all pianos of that design should be, to improve the tone and prevent a singer's facing thc wall, is one in which a three-paneled screen is hung on a rod attached to the back of the piano at the top. The screen is made of three panels cf black satin embroidered in gold thread after the style of Japanese screens, the panels being laced to gether with gold cord drawn through small brass rings sewed at intervals of two inches on the edge of the satin, ending in gold tassels at the bottom. The whole thing is then edged with a heavy black silk or gold cord. The effect is uncommon and adds much to the furnishing of a drawing room or music room, especially where the room admits of the piano being placed at one end, with thc keyboard facing the wall. Other material may be used, al ways selecting something of simple decorative pattern or one to match the other hangings of the room. In Paris draperies are made especially for this purpose, but there is danger of having them too close and heavy, thus deadening the tone -of the instru ment.-Washington Star. Unnietrnrk Cont nm OS. A teacher of physical culture, asked by the present writer if women could make housework easier by a knowl edge of how the muscles ought to be used, said, "Yes, most decidedly." "It is not," she explained, "because household labor can be done very dif ferently, but by knowing how to rest In breathing spells between such work anu by dressing hygienically. If pub lic opinion would not forbid, I would declare for every woman doing house work in a gymnasium suit. I adopted it years ago, and I know a number of women who wear it when they sweep or scrub. At house cleaning time it is a genuine emancipation. Watch a man and a woman do housecleaning. He can wash, paint, dust, scrub, hang pictures readily and with little effort. At 6 o'clock the woman is completely fagged, her skirts are draggled and dirty and a score of times through the day she has been in danger of breaking her neck. If you should once sweep or scrub in bloomers you would never do the job again in skirts if you had to lock every door and draw down the shades. Of course a ring at the doorbell would throw a woman into a panic unless custom were to sanction the gymnasium suit. Women must do the next best thing, wear a short skirt and a loose, comfortable waist. Corsets should never be worn at work; it makes every task more toilsome because the greatest free dom of movement is required. If ab solutely necessary, don a loone, un boned waist or a bust supporter. Then lay asjde tight collars, which compress the neck as uncomfortably as a corset does the body. The high, close collar which has been in vogue is to blame for throat troubles, and if women could only be brought to believe it, they are ruining their necks. Ugly wrinkles and a darkened skin are in evitable results of shutting from the throat every breath of fresh air. "A working blouse may be comfort ably made with the neck open and a sailor collar. Wear bloomers under the short skirt instead of petticoats, and for housework there is no foot wear so comfortable and cool as can vas shoes with a thin leather sole and half-inch heels."-Good Housekeep f*>(fSg/f0t>3 Puree of Turnips-Peel, slice and boil in hot salted water eight turnips; rug through a colander; return to the fire; mix in a large spoonful of butter rolled in flour and two tablespoonfuls of milk; season with a shake of pep per and salt; stir five minutes and serve.

How the Strange Affair is Managed-Cirls of the Age of Fourteen Are Deemed Marriageable-After the Ceremony the Ants Are Eaten. Who ever heard of ants in the role of matchmakers? Yet in thc island of 5u!u, one of Uncle Sam's recently ac quired possessions in thc Philippine ar chipelago, the maidens cannot find hus bands without their intervention. A gentleman who recently visited thc island has this to say of thc curious state of affairs: "A most curious custom is to bc found in that island. It obtains only among some of the more savage tribes of thc far interior, called the Kakko hattochochka (I won't swear to thc spelling) tribe. These savages arc very primitive people indeed, and very savage in all their manners of life. There arc not above 10.000 of this tribe, and they live in thc mountains of the interior. Thc way their young women arc given in marriage is worth going miles to sec. I saw thc cere mony last month, and I shall not soon forget it. "When a young woman comes lo thc agc of fourteen she is deemed mar riageable. A notice is given out by thc town crier that on a certain day the young woman will bc given in mar riage. This day is within a month of the fourteenth birthday of thc lady concerned, and is chosen by her. ac cording to ancient custom. And thc choosing of thc day, by thc way, is all thc bride has to say about thc mar riage. Thc crier also, a few days later, calls out thc dowry of thc bride and proclaims her charms aloud in thc market place. So all thc population is notified and a goodly crowd of ad mirers gather to take their chance for thc fair lady. Thc near relatives of the bride and the contestants-who have previously given their names in to the father of the girl-and a crowd of perhaps 100 persons, if thc young woman is thc daughter of a man of importance, gather to sec thc show. "On thc morning of thc marriage the bride is taken out by her maids and crowned with lilies and clad in white. Then with much drum beating she is lcd forth and passes among thc suitors and kisses each in turn. Then she is wreathed with more flowers and is seated to watch thc fun. "Now, on that island of Suki they have a kind of ant that puzzles thc scientists, for it has a double set of mandibles, one above and one below thc head, and both entirely independ ent in action. These ants play a lead ing part in thc marriage ceremony. The night before the ceremony thc vil lage priest goes out by thc light of the moon and opens an ant hill with secret rites and carefully selects some ants equal in number to thc number of suitors. These arc kept with care. After thc bride has kissed all thc suitors in turn they go out to thc hut where thc ants arc kept. Thc priest is there and he takes an ant by thc body and allows it to fasten thc lower man dible to thc forefinger of thc right hand of a young man. These ants arc about an inch and a half long and have the most ferocious bite you can im agine. Then, each suitor with an ant hanging to his forefinger, thc young men go back to thc presence of thc bri.ic. Then there are long and elab orate rites, while thc young men go ground and dance before the bride, kcach with a monstrous nut lian?in? to his finger. Then she is blindfolded and thc young men arc lined up for tuc selection. "Thc drums arc beaten with renewed vigor and thc bride goes along thc linc of the suitors and inserts her forefinger in thc upper mandible of thc ants that hang to tiic fingers of thc suitors, each in turn. The first ant that closes his pincer on thc digit of the fair lady wins her for thc man to whose finger it is hanging. Then thc chosen bride groom strikes thc ant to thc ground and crushes it with his heel, and in comes thc priest and marries the couple. Afterward thc ants that have been used in thc ceremony arc taken out and cooked and a portion is given to each guest to bc eaten like thc wed ding cake in civilized lands."-Chicago Record-Herald.

No Way of Closely Imitating This Beau tiful Ware. Thc best glass for cutting purposes is flint glass, made very thick. This flint glass is made at different factories and is extremely heavy. Despite thc fact that in cutting out thc design half thc raw article is removed, a finished bowl or jar of moderate size will weigh as much as six or eight pounds. The work is done by holding thc ob ject at juot the right angle against a swiftly moving wheel on a lathe, thc glass being kept wet by a stream of water. Thc first work in thc process is to mark thc design on thc glass with a pigment, and after thc glass is deeply cut along thc lines traced thc pattern is gradually developed. Nat urally, the tracing ueing quickly re moved, thc greater part of this deli cate work depends upon thc correct ness of thc eye and hand of thc work man. Thc cutting is first done coarsely and incompletely, this work boiny known ns roughing. The roughing i"> done on what is termed a steel mill set in a lathe, water being used to aid in wearing away thc hard glass. Then comes thc process of smoothing, which is accomplished by means of a rapidly revolving stone. Thc final process of polishing is done by means of a wood en wheel. Considerable glass i.: re moved in thc process of smoothing, so that in the roughing-in process care is j taken not to make thc cutting too deep. Cut glass is particularly liable ' .> | breakage on account of thc difference j in its thickness. It may be half an ' inch thick in one place and only an eighth of an inch thick in another, and as variations of temp?rature naturally cause the different thicknesses to ex pand at a different rate, cracks, arc li able to follow. One of thc chief beauties of cut glass to those who can afford to pay for it lies in thc fact that it is impossible to counterfeit or imitate it. [ Want Anything In Your Office?
