Lengthening Life of Silk Stocking.
"No economies are small," says a
French provcrh, and the professional
stocking mender's job Is evidence of
thrift as understood by the I'arislenne.
"Here," said one of (lie craft, "nro MO
pairs of silk stockings which have
been through my hands more times
than I ('nn count, and look at them."
They wt?re patched and darned (ill
there wfts little of the original left,
hut a*? Elise remarked, "with boots
they still make an effect !" Before the
war mndanie paid three half pl?nce per
pair to her mender and provided the
thread : now* she gives fourponce or
flvepence and expects miracles en

the mender fonneVly s[witi icii min

some of these stockings. ;irid It is dif
ficult to see how she uoiv a living.

Plastic Dressing for Wounds.
Industrial plants are n<o\ iisinjj the
Ambrine treatment for burns, scalds,
and all surface wounds which proved
very successful for casualties incurred
In the world war.
Tlie dressing is a compound of wax
and resins, and Is solid when cold. It
Is heated to about 150 degrees Fah
renheit and applied by means of a spo
ilt] atomizer, or it can lie generally
daubed on with a soft brn?h. A plas
tic dressing. Impervious t ? ? nir. is thin
formed, which does not adhere to the

process without appreciable contrac
tion. Disfigurement and scars are pre
vented to a greater extent than was
possible under the obi met Nods.
Bold Chinese Bandits.
Bauds of kidnapers recently L'ave
caused much alarm In Tenchowfu,
Shantung, China. Operating in eronps

away and held for ransom wealthy Clri
nese for whom they have obtained as
much as $,">0,000 in some cases. Ten
citizens were ki<lnu{>ed in October.
Promises to pay ran sums ha\c been c\
acted by torture. Troops have tried
to capture the bandits, J?ut have
failed. It Is believed the kidnaper?
came from Dalny, crossing the (Julf

N'or does one over loarn fnmi ??
modern wedding report : "The hrhlo

ins great-great grandfather. Capt.
IVddcdhih Tlmkln, wore hi Bunker
Hill and Valley Forge. The shoes
wilh only slight restoration necessary,
nnc in marvelous condition and lent
a distinctly revolutionary flavor to
the bridal occasion." '
l*i faet, the bridegroom's clothlnp
i never u'eis mention, beyond "tiie con
ventlnnal black." It it did it would he
only to relate some disaster too . im
portant, unusual or ridiculous to he
.omitted. even in a wedding narrative
Two chief reasons are advanced for
tin; lack of ancestral male garments
at the bridal altar. One reason is the
difficulty of making a man look even
passable In his grain! fa tiler's rig
whereas ? girl becomes more beauti
ful in the quaint garments of a by
irone day. Moreover, a mini appear
iiiu for his wedding In ji .Tohn Han
cock coal and knickers would clain
more attention than the bride, am?
that would he falal at any wedding.
But the real reason why a man
does not marry in, Tils grandfather's
-sveiiery is because if is not. Grand
mother put her weddinc dress care
fully away and preserved it for her
efiiidren. Granddad. put his away for
the nonce, but he was in no circum
stances to preserve a perfectly grind
suit for another generation. lie
needed it in his own business. So
eventually ids bridal attire went the
way of all men's clothing.
But it would he refreshing, some
critics of the times say, to read once
tn a while !n wedding reports:
"The bridegroom's svelte shape was
admirably set off by the bridal pants
worn seventy-five years ago by bis
paternal grandfather, the celebrated
Squire Blnglewhlfl'le, on the occasion
of Iris marriage to .the beautiful
Prudence Wlnterbottoin."
Madrid Jammed With People.
Spain's abstention from the war-has 'j
not proven tod a housing crisis in that
country. Tn the Inhere cities the de
mand for apartments Is so arreat that
now buildings are leased from roof
to basement before construction Is
falrlv under way.
In Madrid the population 'lias in
creased .'?() por coat since tho outbreak
of the wji r. The recent arrivals are
not only newly enriched Spaniards,
but also refugees and visitors from
belligerent countries, who during the
war sought (he Spanish capital as a j
peace oasis. The population of the
city is now approximately one million,
or an average of seventy-two for eyery
building. Its density of population Is
believed to he greater than that of
any other large town in Kurope, or
271 per hectare (more than 1(X> per
acre) as compared with 200 per bee
tare in Paris and 12S In London.
In the central p:irt of the city the !
population reaches 77:? per hectare. It
