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?—

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

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.
The maiden who has a slim waist
may let it be known that she is not
averse to sashes when the question of

sion. 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

India cashmere and soft as down,
numbers of very stylish novelty goods,
genuine Scotch cheviots, English

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

ommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale

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.
