I Care of the Clothes.
We all like good clothes and the
feeling of being well dressed. It is
not entirely a question of money; it is
also a matter of detail and of giving
a small portion of our time to keeping
cur belongings in order. No matter
how expensive or well fitting one's
dress is, the appearance is spoiled by
a soiled stock or piece of lace or a
crushed and frayed skirt
Just stop and think what a saving
of time and money the short skirt is
to a woman, especially the busy woTT>an
Nn skirt braids need renewal.
Ipo frayed edges give her an untidy j
i appearance.
Take a look at your every-day skirt
and think what an improvement a
good pressing would be to it This
can be done very easily at home and
should be done every week or two.
Place your skirt on a covered ironing
board and have handy two hot irons
rather heavy in weight Now cover
the portions to be pressed with a thoroughly
wet piece of unbleached muslin
folded double, and when pressing
don't move the iron too quickly over
it, but press until the material stops
steaming.
Should there remain dulled or glazed
spots sponge lightly and press again

The Eastern Women.
For the most part the occupants of
a large harem (In Morocco) pass a
very miserable life, says the London
"Sketch." They have little or no exercise,
too much to eat, and until they
have borne a son to their owner their
I position is by no means a pieasan*.
one. As soon as the reproach of childlessness
is withdrawn they have a better
status under Mohammedan law,
but even then the pleasure of lying
upon cushions all day and eating
sweets from Paris is apt to pall after
a few months.
The quarters of the women are naturally
a hotbed of most varied intrigue,
and the precautions taken by
the master of the house do not always
succeed in maintaining the privacy so
greatly sought after.
Every year the royal harem is subjected
to important changes. Many j
of the women are removed and given
to high officials of the court. This
saves a considerable expense to theroyal
household, and the gift is by way !
of being regarded as a compliment It
has some drawbacks, for the newcom- j
er is ofttimes h spy sent to make in- j
iquiry concerning, the loyalty of her
new master. The sultan's agents are
always on the lookout for recruits for
the harem, and many girls are brought
up with great care and attention, and.
taught to play, sing and dance in the
hope that they may some day be honored
by the royal approval.
Shoe History.
Shoes or their equivalent are of a
certainty even more ancient * than
gloves, for they were a necessity ol
locomotion, while the other was a luxury.
Sometimes they were made 01
skins, sometimes of papyrus, as in
Egypt. Often they were gilded and
decked with jewels, and the most expert
artists of the day were employed
to decorate the foot coverings ol
wealthy patricians, oonsuls, emperors
and their favorites.
In no article have more vagaries
been shown. Today a lady who desires
to be considered in the height
of fashion wears shoes pointed as
much as possible, but ih the time ol

? Blue for Extremists.
IWculd you be in the extreme of
fashion? Wear blue.
That is tne decree of fashion-making
Paris.
v Blue, pastel blue, in all the rich
variety of curious tints that the world
stands for, is the reigning color. It
fades into greens and often off to
gray, it reflects a tint of gold, but It
is always blue. In gowns, in hats, in
fancy waists, even in wraps it prevails
and every advanced mode prophesies
a tremendous vogue for it
this season.
Peacock blue, so long banished, has*
come back in its own, marine blue
?
[ holds its own, and all blues are admit!
tedly good by reason of pastel's predominance.
The hats of the year are a complete
revolution in style. The two styles
most in favor are pronounced opposites.
One is soft felt, with dented crown,
rolling brim amenable to madame's
finger-tips, which lends itself to a
somewhat rakish coquetry. It usually
rises at the back, the dented
crown and brim being low in front,
and takes nodding plumes with knots
of ribbon, the wings which are so
much used in all the autumn millinery
or flowers.
Its rival is stiff and severe, with
high bell crown, or round crown, and
uncompromising brim. It assumes a
deep band of velvet usualy held by a
buckle, with a small avalanche of
plumes at the side, or wings of mingled
colors with high aigrette.
What Was Behind Them.
"I wish you would look at that w#man
and her two boys, and tell me
what you think," said one traveler.
"I should say," said the other "that
she is a very happy woman, and that
she has two fine, manly, happy-looking
boys. I wonder why one doesn't see
more families so genuinely aengntea
with one another, and so thoroughly
delightful to look upon?"
"I'll tell you," said the first woman,
with a laugh and a sigh. "It's because
there arent more of the right kind of
men. There is a man behind those
three smiles. Look at the sheer content
and joy in life in that woman's
eyes. She is so perfectly happy that
she is dazzling. It isn't a joy in material
things. It's something deeper.
What wide open brows her boys have;
what glad eyes and sweet expressions
in spite of their firm chins and lips!
"There's something back of all that,
my dear. It's a man. and it's the right
sort of man. He's a man who has
made her happy from the day he married
her. She was almost superhumanly
happy when those boys came
into the world. You can see it in
their^ faces. And he's made her happy
ever since. Listen to her laugh!
"I'd give a good deal to see him,
but I don't need to see him. I know
what sort he is. He is not a plentiful
type. If he were more women?oh,
-? +

every one of them could make some
woman-look like tftat all her life. If he
only took the trouble. Such a little .
trouble?the tenderness and thoughtfulness
a woman always craves, and
which she is more than ready to give
in return. There, they get off here!
Now watch.
"I knew it! I knew It!" she cried,
softly, as they peered under the currain
to watch the happy little woman/
and her two glad-eyed boys, who were
being met by the "right sort of man"
in the right sort of way.?Philadelphia

Fashion Notes.
Garlands and wreaths of the tiniest
roses in ribbon embroidery are the
latest fad.
Russian gold braid can be bought by
the yard and makes the most charming
belts.
It is a fad to match the jewels of
belt buckles, combs, bat pins, and even
necklaces.
Colored tailor velvets in checks and
stripes are to be in high favor for
street costumes.
Another phase of fashion in automobile
apparel is the use of remarkably
clever imitations in fur.
Coats of both round and gape effects
are extremely fashionable. The favorite
material for this season is mara
30U.
Spangled gold, silver or steel embroidery
upon white or black laces
makes up. into pretty boleros for evening
wear.
Very beautiful are the loose coats
made in different kinds of furs, and
they often haver' a touch of color in
velvet or satin, which is altogether desirable.
Baby calf makes motor coats, so do
-ieer skins, and we have not disregarded
the leopard's, for it is employed
.n the automobile coat as well as for
muffs and boas.
Buckles are extensively used, and
small slide buckles in gilt, silver 01
st<=el, slide over yard trimmings of
velvet, ribbon or braid, in a most effective
manner.
Elbow sleeves never seem consis
ten: in such materials as velvet and
cloth, but there is something exceedingly
smart about an elaborate short
sleeve which is worn with a long
black or white kid glove.
One of the most curious modes of
the moment is that feathers and furs
\like are being dyed any color to
tVi^ fabric -with which thev are
r.ade up, and every sort of fur is
pressed into, the service for feminine
j rosiurne.
SCIENCE NOTES.
The artificial production, of emeralds
is declared to be impossible by
Professor Verneuill, the first creator
of rubies.
A physician in Paris exposed several
mice to raaium for 20 days; they
lost their hair" but it grew again, although
whitened in color.
Survey camps, along the Grand
Trunk Pacific lines east of Winnipeg
will keep in touch with headquarters
by means of wireless telegraphy.
The highest elevator in the world
has been opened on the Burgenstock,
a mountain near the Lake of Lucerne,
Switzerland. It lifts tourists over 500
feet to the top of a vertical rock.
I """""""
Prof. Gv Haberlandt, after studying
the sensitiveness of the tendrils and
hairs on plants, has come to the conclusion
that some plants are capable
of experiencing regular sensations.
One of the sights of the Great Salt
Lake of Utah, developed by the progress
of scientific industry, is the system
of immense salt-making ponds on
the shore of the lake. At Saltair the
lake water is pumped into a great
settling basin, where the impurities
fall to the bottom, and, containing
much iron, form a reddish deposit.
From this basin the water is drawn
off into "harvesting ponds," averaging
90,000 square yards in area, and six
inchesJin depth. The ponds are kept
supplied with water, as the evaporation
goes on from May to September,
when the salt harvest begins. The
water having disappeared, a dazzling
layer of salt, two or fchree inches
thick, is found covering the bottom
of the ponds, which is broken up with
plows before being conveyed to the
mills, where the final crushing and
winnowing are done. *
FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND.
There the Game Is Simply One Feature
of Outdoor Play.
Oxford or Cambridge football is
never afire with the flaming spirit
of sacrifice and daring which our college
game inspires in its champions.
Football in the English student life
is simply one feature of outdoor play,
which draws its thousands also to the
cricket fields and river. The American
youth prefers his kind df football,
just as he would scorn the notion of
substituting the placid and tedious
rivalry of cricket for the swift crises
compressed with nine sharp innings of
baseball. From this standpoint, something
vital is missing from sport
where players can find cheerfulness
in defeat, and where onlookers arouse
to no more enthusiasm than at a
matinee. When an American crew is
training for a Henley invasion, or a
track team dares try conclusions with
the flower of Oxford and Cambridge,
it would be rank disloyalty not to
strain every effort, at whatever sacrifice,
to be as fit as possible.
On the other hand, English athletes
have allowed the visitors to beat them
time and again in such events as hammer-throwing,
shot-putting, hurdling,
and sprinting, because these are specialties
demanding careful and intelligent
training for first-class achievement.
Therefore the young Briton
thinks they are not worth learning to
do very well, because the work is
not worth the cost, and there is no fun
in it On football it is especially true
that the Englishman would see no
sport in a style of game in which
winning form is to be gained only
by prodigious exertion and a very
martyrdom of training. In the ordeal
of American football are bred splendid
qualities for manhood and a discipline
which none will decry. That
six feet of mighty youth should sob
his heart out after defeat is not to
his discredit, and he will fight life's
battles the better for it He takes
his sport, as he does his business, far
more seriously than the Briton, and
with a fair field he excels him in both.
Yet he can .earn from his cousin
across the water that play should not
be all work, and that sport can flourish
unmarred by eligibility squabbles.

of School and College Sport," in The

Japan's Great Fisheries.
Japan leads the world in the economical
and scientific development of
its fisheries. It has more persons engaged
in this industry, says Dr. H. M.
Smith, than any other nation. Sharks
are among the commonest food fishes
of Japan. They are sent to the
markets to be "butchered" like beeves
in other countries. The. extent of
the Japanese fisheries may be judged
from the size of some of the nets employed
by the fishermen. Dr. Smith
tells, in the National Geographical
Magazine, of a net employed for catching
yellowtails which was more than
a mile long. It had a bag 900 feet
long, 250 feet wide at its mouth, and
125 feet deep. On one occasion 10,000
fish, averaging 20 pounds in weight,
were taken at a single haul.

TRAVEL WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL
Have you longed to know what it would
mean to stand in the great places of the
earth? Travel, with its possibilities of
culture and education, is now practicable
for those of morlest income as well as the
fortunate few, by means of the
Underwood Travel System.
This system is travel of the truest
kind, yet it does not utilize either ship or
railroad. Such a statement is so extraordinary
as to seem at first unbelievable,
but many have proved its truth. To experience
sensations of pleasure or nain in
the presence of famous objects and places
which inspire thoughts and produce states
of feeling enriching life and adding to happiness
is to travel truly. By making use
of a simple scientific principle, and spending
twenty years in its development, there
has been perfected the means of actually
seourinor riirht in one's homo these verv
experiences and benefits which actual
travel gives.
Dr. James H. Breasted, of CL'rrupo University,
says: "By this means the joys
of travel are extended to that large class
of our people who thirst for an acquaintance
with the distant lands of other ages,
but are prevented by the expense involved,
or by the responsibilities of home,
business or profession."
More information about this truly remarkable
system, and strong endorsements
of it by hundreds of our greatest educators.
