► New Vocation Fop Women. Another “new vocation” for women has been started by a New York wid ow, who proposes to make a business of furnishing bachelor apartments. But is any business to be encouraged which will make things easier for bachelors? Is not the only furniture with which n widow should furnish a bachelor’s apartments a widow?— Lonisville Courier-Journal. Making Over Skirts. Skirts that are worn off at tho bot tom may have the needed length sup plied by being mounted at the top on a yoke. These yokes can be made, and are preferably so make, of an en tirely different fabric. In the case of slender figures, the joining line may be outlined in fur, but the most satisfac tory arrangement is a pointed yoke of cloth in some lighter shade than the dress fabric, which is braided or trimmed with a sdt of braided pieces that can be bought, points fitting over the hips and in any outline that suits the taste of the wearer. A Vigorous Battle. From the Xeie Fra. Qrttnihvrrf, fn< The following is a straightforward 1 statement by a voteran of the late war. No j comrade w'lll need farther proof thau 1 their friend's own words, as here given. : Squire John Castor, of Newpolnt, Ind.. is the narrator, and an honest, respected i citizen he Is too. He said: *'I have been troubled with rheumatism in all my joint* ever since I wont to the war. It was brought on by my exposure there. It came on me gradually, and kept getting worse until I was unable to do any work. I tried several physicians, but they did me no good. They said my trouble was rheuma tism resulting in disease of the heart, and that there was no cure for it. Neverthe less I had lived and fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply * because they said I must, so I The Fashionable Col (Tare. To bo strictly up to date, the back hair should be waved in large waves and well combed out, then pushed downward with pompadour-combs made for that purpose. Women with heavy suits of hair wear close knots of braid for the morning, aud crimp the front, combing it back plain from the forehead without the exaggerated roll. The part is seldom seen, and never on women who make any pretentions to fashion; but a soft bang, worn very short, is still worn by women who have never given up this style. Side-combs are more worn than ever, and come in sets > of three and four. The most stylish ones are hinged together. In sets of four, one goes above the knot, one below, and one on either side. In sets of three, the middle comb U gen erally used above the knot, and i is a ~ - * ■ ' more^rnate thqn the teeth on the llacecL farther curve to fit the head. Many of them are plain, others are Orna mented with narrow bands of silver or gold, and still others are beautifully carved,—Woman’s Home Companion. A Hat of Glass. A n»st enterprising milliasr has exerted her talonts and invented a glass iat. It is gorgeous, with its nodding plumes and wonderful array of*trimotiug3, as the largest and most striking theatre hat that ever obstruct ed a first-nighter’s view, but there is this difcrence—the new hat obstructs no one : view. You look through it as clea y as you would through a plate-gl is window. For years the questio of the big hat has been a burning issue whereby fashion held sway. The i troduclionof the glass hathas made i possible for women to wear any siz< thiatre hat they choose, and yet be < ly smiled upon with approval by * the men who sit behind them. The newlass theatre hat is almost as light asjfeather. It will not break "*bp it, and it is quite as fash- to its style as any theatre [of felt or velvet. The hat is la very thin preparation of kss, which has been prepared Fashion Note*. One of the prevailing fashions in full dress is the wearing of exceeding ly long, wrinkled sleeves, with low- cut or half-low bodices. Gray and green and black have been highly favored colors for seasons past, and now blue is making a bid for marked favor next season. In baby jewelry one may buy sets of pins with pearls or turquoises set in dulled gold, armlets of old-fashioned coral, and sets of studs linked to gether by a slender gold chain to serve as buttons for dresses. Blue in many tones and semi-tones will appear among every style of plain or fancy dress goods aud jacketings. It is a beautiful dye in many of its deeper shades, but no color needs more careful selection. The latest design for a finish to the waist of a gown is the closely folded velvet girdle that has a great corsage bow on the left side, drawn through a jeweled buckle. Jit rivals the jew eled belt and the sash in favor.

There are uncounted novelties in these graceful dress accessories, and, although gaycolors would hardly be becoming worn by a fat or short- waisted woman, they are charming additions to the costume of a tall or slender one. Tiny rings and bracelets and strings of gold beads are worn by many babies, and rings of polished silver are what the modern baby cuts her pearly teeth upon. Silver rattles are of all shapes and sizes. Some are like miniature tambourines, with many jingling bells; others have dolls’ heads on top of an ivory stick, and others have grotesque faces or heads o! dogs or cats wearing collars of bells. I Among tho handsome fabrics that will be highly favored for tailor-made costumes nfext season are fancy Oxford suitings in tri-color melanges, boncle efforts in French camel’s hair, light as India cashmere and soft as down, numbers of very stylish novelty goods, genuine Scotch cheviots, English serges anebdiagonals, and creped cloth in colors medium aud dark, and in light spring qualities. '‘Theatre SicScne**” a Disease. “Theatre sickness” is the name of the new disease recently discovered by tho eminent French physician, Dr. Morticole, which is at present a topic of a good deal of discussion in scien tific and lay circles in Paris. The doctor declares that “theatre sick ness and seasickness resemble one an other, take their victims entirely un awares, and prey especially on women. The symptoms consist of giddiness, loss of consciousness, a deep faint, and in perverse cases the malady causes death. It seizes a victim after he has gazed long at the stage, and more commonly in tragedy than in comedy, and, in brief, it constitutes a species of asphyxia. When men feel “theatre sickness” coming on they be come, according to Dr. Morticole, oblivious to all considerations of lo cality, and put their heads between their knees, while women feel an in clination to recline with their feet at an acute angle above their heads, so excessive is the vertigo. Fortunately, cases of “theatre sickness” are as yet the exception rather than the rule. A theatre where all the men’s heads would be bowed down between their knees and where all the women were to have their feet in the air would fur nish a strange mixture of the mourn ful and of the hilarious.—New York Tribune. One Meal a Day For Soldier*. The German Government now fur nishes its soldiers with one meal a day. If they desire or need more, they have to get it at their own ex pense. The press has started on a campaign to better this state of affairs, but thus far has met with no success. Among all other nations soldiers’ food is distributed in a less niggardly man ner. In tho French Army there are two meals a day, while Russia gives her soldiers three. In certain Russian regiments, even,there are annual cook ing contests, held under the auspices of a special commission. This contest was instituted Jiy Prince Alexander Petrovitch von Oldenburg when in command of the Guard. The members of the commission pass before tho fires, taste the food in all the kettles, and write down the numbers desig nating those that please them. The first prize is a silver watch and chain. The other prizes are also silver watches, but with chains of whits metal. J Want to Su>ear to That bunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened oa Dr. Williams’ I’lnk Pills for Pale People. I asked some of my nelRUboia about tho medloine, for it had been used by several persons in tho com munity, and they recommended it very hlirhlv. I procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and I continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished taking the sixth box a few months ago. I am not bothered with the rheumatism now -the medicine has cured mo. I can most certainly rec ommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” . . . Those pills are not only good for rheu matism, but are valuable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do sox act on the bowels. The Alphabet of Travel.
