Tho li-ori>H Hat. . The little round Breton hat is enor mously popular in felt with the brim bound by a contrasting color, espe cially in front. A great deal of bright apple green velvet'is employed in mil liner}-, and one firm has made a strik ing irote in the employment of green parrots wim green satin rosettes on white and pale mauve felt. Very large toques are also to be worn, the trim ming flat and low and a soft drapery of lac? round the brim falling low on the hair at the back. Nothing points to the return of the high coinure. as has been stated In some fashion papers. Tim Appliqu* Crax-*. ' li^ur and lace, lace and fur and fur ?nd lace and velvet make a chorus tuat never fails to captivate our win ter fancy, a chorus, moreover, that asks tile aid of the needle. Stitchery, stitchery, all the time, and never a stitch too much. Applications are to be the ruling bent in this year of grace. The craze for applying one material over another amounts al most to a disease, for it is irresistible. The cut out .cretonne motifs and trails continue to declare themselves, while toe mystery lent to this decoration by a veiling of transparency, prefer ably the very finest aerophane, is a vast improvement. Shaded so discreet ly, all hardness is lost, and there IB substituted a certain shadowy sugges tiveness which is the very essence of artistic feeling. Tho Revival of tho Earring. The long-predicted revival of the ear ring has, it would seem, arrived; just now earrings are considered quue the correct thing and are being worn to a considerable extent for the first time in ten years, though two styles only in settings are at the present time no ticed.. The large hoop and other fan tastic shapes have been discarded in favor of the short drop and the screw, and, given a pretty ear, earrings to everybody, whereas diamonds only suit people with clear complexions. Of coarse, real pearls, lustrous and of fairly good size, are very expensive, but so perfect are the imitations now manufactured that only an experienced eye can detect the difference. Tho most effective of the earrings "ow shown have a small diamond as the" head of a screw and dependent from this is a pearl or other stone. The effect is that of the drop, yet there is no swinging, the one thing most Im portant to avoid in the up-to-date ear ring.-American Queen. The Wedding Cake. Wedding cake boxes are in any de sign which the bride is pleased to or der, if she gives the instructions long enough in advance. At present, how ever, then* 1? " * -OT1UC3. Vvnatever the amount of cake previously stor-d in boxes for tho guests to carry away as they pass out, there-is always an especially decorated cake among the good things served to ^he guests. IMsJ^riuTrJSilently" i^P^??k^^e^erselt shall cut this cake in the presence of the guests, es pecially her maids, who expect to find in it a gold ring or some other articla portending the marriage within a year of the finder. A bride lately took high-handed hold extradition and substituted a heart for tile ring of our foremothers' super stition. Scientific- Shirt rutting:. The trend of fashion in women's skirts is toward a closer flt and more sheath-like shape from the waist to flounce depth. The greater number of these skirts are ornamented with flounces, various depths being em ployed, while perhaps the graduated . flounce may be considered the most up to date. The flounces are cut on en tirely new lines, being much more cir cular than, ?. Tetofore, and produce a more ..'graceul and decided spring around the foot of the skirt. This ex treme fulness accentuates the clinging eifect of the upper portion, which must be fitted with the greatest exactness. The. flounce ripples gracefully being ' much more circular than the older modes, and therefore is fuller around the bottom. It is in two pieces and slopes gradually until at the back it is twice lue depth of the front lt has the added advantage that it may be made with a sweep or shorter for those who prefer the round length. The upper or sheath-like portion is held in place by straps of elastic tacked to the gore seams as directed on the label of the pattern. To these elastics are sewed- tapes, that adjustment may be roadetto 3uit the individual figure. This fashionable mode is called the "form fitting," or serpentine skirt.-The De lineator. Ino Xoedleworlc of the Knm. . It is a noted fact that the most beau tiful needlework comes from the mon asteries; due principally to the reason the young apprentice is taught on less than ? quarter of a yard of cloth all the fundamental rules of sewing, writes Lillian M. Siegfried, in Good House keeping. Industriously she plies her needle on this bit of cloth, mastering inch by inch all the finer arts of deli cate needlework; one of the greatest object lessons to mothers with grow ing daughters, who are permitted to ruin valuable silks and linen, destroy ing both temper and goods over some thing that is pure Greek to the crude beginner. How often materials so eagerly and hopefully purchased be come useless in the hands of the per son whose brain has no knowledge whatever of the vastness of the under taking before her. The nuns, with whom wastefulness is a deadly sin, teach every stitch most carefully, nor is this practice made tedious and diffl cvit by giving the student long hems, heavy coarse garments and yards of lucking-; a tiny piece of goods of mod crate ..weight, a thimble fitting per fectly, not too heavy, a needle In size to corry 70 or 80 thread, are the im plements of practice. The young women v;bo lenrn the sewing are the conse crated women, so called because they haye consecrated their lives and daily lahoAto. God, I "AU Work und No Piny." We all know the old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." and perhaps it ls particularly true when applied to busy women. Women, if I may express it so, plod at their tasks in a way unknown to most male workers. Ask any business manager of a firm which employs both sexes, and he will tell you that women are by far more conscientious and turn out more work i'h a given time. Tuen, too, nature meant men to be the breadwinners, and endowed them with constitutions more fitted for the daily drudgery of office or professional life. The mere fact of having to do the same thing day by day is posi tively deadly to many of the gentler sex. To take up work and run it as a hobby and taking up work as a means of providing bread and butter for your self or those dependent on you are things as remote as the poles. The sensitive, nervous tempera ments, which are those which certainly do uie best work, are very easily in fluenced ty their surroundings, and it makes all the difference in the world to them ii al the end of a* hard day's work some one or something awaits them that will take them out of the business world in which they have been and give them sometning entirely different to think about. *So often one hears a business woman say that she is too tired to go to the theatre, or to reac* when as a matter of fact, once the - 1 effort of get ting there was acr ished, she would find it a real rest it would changa her thoughts, get uer away from her little home worries, and arouse her Interest in the lives of those who seem to nave so little in common with her own. Lack of recreation not only ruins the health and turns girls into old women, but it takes from them all individual ity, all freshness, all power of sym pathy, and turns then into the awful product of this twentieth century-a woman who has but one idea in life, and that the particular branch of work in which she is engaged.-Home Notes. New Kr? in Sleeve?. There seems always something new to say about sleeves, really the most important item in wardrobes just now. Tne prettiest and most modish sleeve is undoubtedly the one that follows closely the lines of the arm to b?low the elbow and then widens excessively with a lot of ruffled undcrslecves that fall over the hand; but this sleeve, un fortunately. Is not generally becoming. A sleeve that, on the other hann, is almost universally becoming is close, with a high, tight cuff and elaborate drapery at the elbow. An example of this drapery is a scarf of mousseline de soie arranged with a big bow on the outside of thc arm, while the bame idea on an elbow sleeve consists of a turn-up cuff, slashed on the outside of the arm with a frill of lace or a puff of some thin stuff coming through the slashing. Thc correct way is to have the full part of the elbow trimming on the outside. Some dresses made by first-class houses have sleeves made in a bag to the elbows, where they meet long, close cuffs. A close cuff, perhaps five inches fJPPn With fhn fill! floovi. Kr. rrrwX t*nua iviii. Ueoiftu. IL IS tne use of embroideries and laces that gives cachet to most of these. A deep collar of yellow batiste, em broidered with white and yellow jvorstccLawd^inset with ec r IL, la re is a novelty that g/ves "Uistincuon to a gown* of tabac brown velvet. The blouse has no other trimming save some small and very lovely gold butions, which are used in clusters on the front of the bodice and on the small, close cuifs. The skirt is made with a shaped flounce, trimmed with diamonds formed of lines of small turks taken in the stuff.-New York Tribune. White roses are much in demand for the winter hats. More stylish cloth skirts are made with a separate.drop skirt of silk than with a lining sewed in with the out side fabric. Ribbon bracelets are among tho nov elties in accessories to milady's toilet. These are worn with elbow sleeve and are enhanced with jewels. Narrow lines of costly fur on gauze, net and tulle remain one of the incon gruous combinations, but it is extreme ly effective and becoming whenever used. The rage for lace for the trimming of hats and the adornment of gowns and evening wraps still continues. Irish crochet and filet being the popular sorts. Guipure lace waists are prettily fin ished with tiny bands of fur, and one thing which never fails in these days is the stitching applied in every con ceivable way. A somewhat novel and altogether pretty feature of a fashionable wedding was a wreath of sweet peas worn by each bridesmaid in place of the cus tomary large hat. Brown cloth forms a smart tailor costume, with cream panne revers trimmed with gold-threaded applique. The vest is of Persian embroidery, outlined with gold. The handsomest spangled nets are being used, with garish effect and great expense, over brocaded colored silks and shaded chiffons and the combina tion Is bewildering. Sewing Itlrri*. Most curious are the sewing or tail or birds of India-little yellow things not much larger than one's thumb. To escape falling a prey to snakes and monkeys the tailor bird picks up a dead leaf and flies up into a tree, and with a fibre for a thread and its bill for a needle, sews the leaf to a green one hanging from the tree; tho sides are sewed up, an opening to the nest thus formed being left at the top. That a nest Is swinging in the tree no snake or monkey or even man would suspect.-London Science Siftings. Constatent. "Will you have some horseradish?" said Mrs. Small to her new boarder.

Greatly Augmented During tho Holidays -One.Concern HRH Thirty Sleuths-Cnn tlon and Discrimination in Making Ar rest!-Unaccountable Shoplifting Cases. At best never easy, the policing of large department stores is, at the busy season, a most complex problem. Not only is the task aggravated hy the in creased crowds, but by the infusion of strange salespeople. But the main reason for the tem porary reinforcement of such detective staffs is to afford a warning to the pro fessional shoplifters who flock to the big cities at such opportune times. The knowledge that a certain store is bet ter equipped in its detective bureau than another serves as a most effectual deterrent, and therein lies the chief benefit of such a bureau. Though normally four or five officers seem to suffice, at rush times the total exceeds thirty. Harry Blades, chief of that bureau in a famous New York department store, wheaseen the other day by an Econo mist man, talked interestingly of his department and the way it was run. "We have now," said he, "about 30 detectives on our roll, of whom four are women. Our regular force doesn't exceed four or five, but is reinforced for the holidaj's from a waiting list all tried and true men. "No, we don't recruit from police headquarters, or, rarely ever. We arc after people with the detective in stinct, hail whence they may. "One of the b*. -t detectives was once a salesgirl at the fancy goods counter. She gave our sleuths so many excel lent clues as to suspicious shoppers clues that were successfully followed that we persuaded her to join our staff. And we made no error. She has more than fulfilled our expectations. Y'ou see she had it in her, and needed no Mulberry street training to bring it out. "As a rule, however, women are not so good at ferreting out crime as men. They are also timid, fearing violence if necessary to arrest. But where the cjue is given a woman can shadow a ' suspect bette than a man, seeing that she can wor in and out, and is less conspicuous ii. doing so'. A man looks out of place at a bargain counter. "One of our greatest troubles with new detectives," continued Mr. Bladee, "is overzealousness. They imagine that they are not makiug a showing-not earning their salary-unless constant ly dragging offenders up to tho office. So anxious are they to show results that they are apt to overdo. "They probably look at it this way: 'I am only here for the holiday season, unless I can show special aptitude, to provo which I must succeed in making a big trapping.' "On this account I give my new men positive instructions never to make an arrest without calling one of my old staff for consultation. As to the best policy to be pursued when a woman is caught opinions differ. The method we pursue is this: "Whenever a professional shoplifter is caught red-handed we invariably ....v.ir.iiiig fi.jvjua un meir persons. "On investigation these women al most invariably proved to be victims ot the morphine or laudanum habit, tlie drug rcnoering them almost irre sponsible. Now, what should wc gain in exposing such a case, thereby ruin ^utation for all time? "Nor do '^c^p^M^?M^^ by really indigent people, when'wt*-* assured they are not 'professionals. No good end can be served by such ex posure. Moreover, it would be a bad ad. for the house, for such cases would receive extended newspaper comment, to the detriment of the firm exposing the culprits. "Lack of harmony, continued Mr. Blades, "is another point to be guard ed against in the management of a de tective bureau. Many of our new men are inclined to throw the bluff that tney are the whole thing. They aid it all. I discourage w.iat sort of thing. "If any good piece of work is done in the store in that direction, the de tective bureau receives credit therefor, not an individual officer. All must work in harmony. I instruct them to be re ceptive to hints from any and all sources. And even if they find certain clues unreliable, not to discourage the offering of them. Though wrong once, they might be right again. "Professional jealousy is also to bc guarded against. What any one of us may have learned about a certain case the rest arc ent.tled to know. In formation so obtained is not for any individual's benefit, but for that of the bureau. Hence there is nothing to be gained in an attempt to 'hog' glory. "I am sorry to say that the help, especially at this season of the year, when there are so many supernumer aries employed, require most watch ing. "Wc have representatives behind counters known as such only by my self, who, presumably, arc salespeople. Suppose wc suspect somebody at a cer tain counter. I put there a girl of my own who has not only to keep her eye open for my benefit, but hold up her end of the sales in order to escape transtcr. If anyuung wrong is going on she will find it out. "Sometimes these special sleuths are in the delivery department, even on wagons as helpers. "From one of the latter is this let ter." picking up one from the table before him. "In it my reprer-mtative makes a report of his four days' ex perience on a certain wagon. Nothing was found amiss, as far as honesty was concerned, but a beneficial and un expected* result was reached. "Thc detective voiced the hardships and grievances to which these over 1 worked drivers and helpers are sub ! jr.cted in a way that brought about re ! form. These ?ame complaints, if made ! Io thc head of tho delivery department, i wouM. in all probability, have been ! pigeon-holed. Feeing that the rectifying of them would tend to increase the ex ? penses of that department-a change which the manager thereof would nat urally desire to obviate. ! "We also have an outside man for secret, service work. He never comes I into the store, but makes his report by j letter. Such a sleuth is essential to all employers of labor of this charac ter. It might he reported to us that a.. employe in a responsible position, hut drawing a moderate salary, was living as a high roller. This outside nan would be detailed to get all ln orrcntion. Such an officer, in fact, ?8 iseful in hundreds of ways, and no arge store should be without one. "But the greatest benefit of a tbor iughly equipped detective bureau, from i department store standpoint, is that t acts as a deterrent to the 'profes ilonals.' In my time, for instance, I lave had to do with over 2000 cases )f shoplifting. It follows, therefore, hat my presence in a particular store ceeps away at least those 2000 offend ers, and probably as many more of heir friends." THE RING IN THE OLD OAK TREE. Indian Legend that ls Told in a Beauti ful Gulf CoiiRt Town, Every foot of ground around this town is full of legends. Stories of In dians, stories of Bienville and Iberville and all the rest of the gentlemanly ad venturers, and some adventurers who were not gentlemen, can be had here for the asking. Something of the dreamy charm which these ancient Daks cast over the wanderers from France and Spain and other countries is with them still. There is the same reposeful sky which bends over the shining waters of toe bay, the same quietude which one find3 among old piaces, as if ag% had given them a respite from the strenuous toil of a life Df conflict, the same gentle tones among the people, as if they were afraid a loud voice would wake some of the spirits of the restless men of long ago. It is hard to stir the feeling of energy In the coast towns. No visitor to Blloxi goes away with out seeing the ring in thc patriarchal oak in thc yard of thc rectory of the Church of thc edeemer. How old thc tree is nobo-" aows. But lt has been here for at lc st two hundred years. There is a record running that far back, and it was a big tree when the record began, and the ring was there when the story was started. It stands : today in silent grandeur. The trunk is , knotted ana gnarled, arid thc limbs are bent as if wit? the weight of years. ; There is one of the most beautiful ? legenus of the whole coast country ?Trapped in this tree. The tree cannot talk, so the people must do the talking ; for it. They say that long before the French came, long before there were any Spanish in Louisiana, long before ! there were any'wnite faces in all the j long stretch of beautiful coast, there was a chief whose daughter loved a brave. . She pleaded with her father for permission to marry her lover. She pleaded with all the eloquence and all , the vehemence of Indian maidens. She ; prayed and threatened, but the old ' chief had chosen another for her hus- ; hand, and he would'not consent to the j change. The girl was importunate, j Like all maids in love, she could not see that any other man in the world I approached the brave of her choice in j all the arts of war, in the chase, or in j those tnings which go to make the per- I feet warrior. Day after day she besieged the old ; parent for consent to wed the man she j bad chosen from all the rest of the ; tribe, and day after day the old man ; stooled his heavtj&??Lhcv appeals and grew rr.orejfl Bj^bdurate.

Club of Red-Haired Men. Ono of the unique social organiza tions of the cc/untry has recently been formed at Washington. The only In flexible rule for membership is that tho applicant shall have red hair. The society is defined by a member as be ing a "society of protest," but strictly social in its aims. It has no philan throplcal nor political ideals, and there ls no danger, should the Idea spread and become national in its scope, of the R. H. C's putting forth a candidate for the presidency. It seems that the society organized in a rebellion against the antiquated and moldy witticisms which red haired people lu all parts of the civili zed and uncivilized world are supposed' to enjoy, or at least to suffer with a Bickly pretense of enjoyment.-Chi cago Chronicle.

Good Housekeeping. Open Your Damner. Many people do not open the damper in the stovepipe when they put on coal, but take off the three lids in front of the stove while putting on the coal.

Such people should he warned against the danger of so doing. .Some will heed thc warning more if they read it in a paper than if i* is told to them by a kindly neighbor.

A pretty bedspread is as necessary to a well and daintily furnished room as are spotlessly clean curtains, and within the last few years heavy coun terpanes have been entirely super seded by the more decorative articles. Thc spread should harmonize with the wall covering. It is such a (compara tively) large surface that if its tone clashes with the wall tone it takes away from instead of adding to the ap pearance of the room. Art linen is being much employed for the inexpen sive spreads. It runs in width 30, 40 and 50 inches, and as the average double bed is five feet in breadth and (. feet 6 inches long, a bedspread of sufficient size to reach nearly to the ground should be at least three and a half to four yards wide, and its length can be easily calculated. By far tho most effective way to make one of those spreads of art linen is to join the lengths together by strips of tor chon lace insertion. The insertions may be run with satin ribbon, but this is not essential. For those who require something more ethereal than art linen, beautiful spreads may be fashioned of nainsook, cambric or hook muslin, with an under cover of colored sateen, br ?ste or lawn. In a pale blue or pink oedroom a bedspread of white muslin, with white Valenciennes lace insertions made up over pale blue or pink rib bons, is particularly dainty.-Ameri can Queen. rasMnj; of tho Ttihlc Cloth. Dinners, luncheons and teas without cloths for the table are not only per missible in fashionable society, but arc becoming all the style. The table is set upon thc bare wood and napkins are the only linen goods visible. All natural woods are beautiful if well kept and oak, walnut, ash or cherry will do perfectly if the scratches and stains which deface it are removed. Nor is this a difficult matter. A coat of brown shellac, a thorough rubbing once a week with a. purchased polish or with raw linseed oil with a few drops of turpentine and a daily polish with an oiled bit of flannel will give a handsome table top. "Elbow grease" is the secret of a perpetual polish. Doilies aro now so varied, so abund ant and so pretty, prettier than any cloth, no matter how beautiful, as well V^so much easier laundcred.that ther^f with thc- la^i^- ^Jj0r%m?^ piece for every^ftr^rfSS^is a hem stitched damask square. This will last fresh for a week, while moro elaborate designs may be substi tuted for special occasions. Small doilies come in all sizes and at all prices, from the costly cobwebs of Mexican drawn work and the exquisite Honiton lace ones to the inexpensive Honiton lace and linen or simple squares of hemstitched linen. With a pretty centrepiece of flow ers or ferns, not over-elaborate and smacking of the convenuonal green house designs, but with individuality of the genuine flower lover shown in its simple arrangement, with plates, glasses, knives and forks set straight upon the polished wood, with crystal clear glass, bright silver and fresh napkins, no one need wish for a daint ier or more attractive looking table. *K RECIPES \ Cabbage Hot Slaw-Slice thin a small cabbage, season with salt, pep per and sprinkle lightly with flour.

The word "fog" has not been traced farther back than the sixteenth cen tury, but the thing was known In the early years of tho fourteenth. Tho commons, with the prelates and no bles visiting London for tba parlia ments and other occasions, united to petition Edward I. to compel the burn ing only of dry wooa and charcoal, as the growing use of sea coal corrupted the air with its stink and smoke to the great urejudlce and detriment of health. In 1300 the king prohibited the use of coal; heavy random and fines were Inflicted for disobedience; In the case of recalcitrant brewers, dyers and other artificers the furnaces and kilns were destroyed. But the restric tion was evidently soon removed, for in 1308 ?50 (probably equal to about ?800 now) was paid from the ex chequer for wood and coal for the cor onation of Edward II.-London Chroni cle. *.
