8 the suit bad to be selected
inatanter I waa lata to buai
neaa. Persia spread all tbe
pieces out over the couch
by the window.
"XSow. which do jou think Is the
fcest?" she queried, excitedly.
I took a mental survey of Persia'
type of beauty.
"This," I asserted, picking it up. I
pride myself upon being a quick and
accurate judge of harmony lu colora
tion.
"Do you?" commented Persia, doubt,
tully. "How about this?" aud she held
mother against her throat.
"Pretty good, too," I agreed. I liked
It better than mine.
"Or this? here's a perfect dream!"
80 It was. I admitted (to myself)
that Persia' taste was, after all. the
superior.
"Any of the three will do," I sug
(ested.
"But which ia the most becoming?"
the persisted.
"The last? yes, I should say the last,"
( hazarded, critically.
"It's $3.50 a yard? the most expen
?ivp In the whole lot," she announced,
triumphantly.
I might hare foreseen that Such
Would be the case.
"The one you chose? the first one, I
. mean? Is only $3," she added.
I inspected the tags and made a dis
covery.
"But the S3 one ia only forty eight
Inches wide and the $3.50 one Is fifty
two Inches!" I exclaimed. "How many
yards less of the flfty-two-lnch stuff
would you have to get than of the
forty -eight-inch ?"
"It is such a little difference that I'd
have to order Just the same of either,"
?he avowed. "Six yards."
"Of course not; then what's the sense
lu having different widths?" I correct
ed, out of my masculine practicalness.
"Let's see." I demonstrated upon
paper for a moment. "Six yards forty
eight Inches wide would be 288 Inches
if width for $18: six yards of the flfty
two-lnch stuff, at $3.80, would be 312
Inches for 931, Here's twenty-four ex
tra inches for which you're paying at
the rate of $3.50 a yard. Five and a
half yards of the flfty-two-inch stuff
make 280 inches of width, and the dif
ference between this and aix yards of
the forty-eight-inch stuff is only two
Inches I Those two inches could easily
be saved, somehow, and you therefore
*auld be paying $19.25 for a suit pat
tern of the 93.50 cloth, whereas you
.would have to pay only $1.25 less for a
suit of the $3 cloth ! See?"
Persia looked . pusaled even bewil
dered. She Is not a good hand at rapid
figuring.
"But? but a few Inches of width don't
count in a suit pattern," she responded.
"The length is what we go by."
"Then you say that just as many
?trips forty -eight inches wide are used
bf the tailor as llfty-two inches wide?"
I questioned, aghast.
. "Certainly," she replied.
' I reflected that among a woman's

"But I thought you were going to

flaw in her garment. "Of course, if

understand. I figured with au eye to
pleats."

The tailor cut into our evenings, for

Printing Wlthoat Type?.
There are three companies In New
York and Brooklyn that are about to
put on the market devices for printing
without types. One is capitalized at
$10,000,000. * The process is as simple
fcs a-b-c. To begin with, a typewriter
with the standard keyboard is used to
"set up" the copy, not in letters, but in
perforations iu an endless strip of
paper. The completed tape looks some
what like the music used In automa
tons that play the piano. The strip of
paper is passed through a machine
which prints, with justification, sheet
after sheet of matter of the required
size? a book page or a newspaper. Im
pressions of this printed stuff are then
made upon aluminium or zinc plates as
thin as ordinary sheet iron, which are
placed with equal facility upon both
the bed-and-platen aud the cylinder
presses.
One of these typeless machines is
called the "planograph" and another
the "lithotype." 1 have forgotteu the
name of the third. The principle of
printing from plates as Bmootb as glass
Is this? water and grease won't mix.
The text is put on In ink. the basis of
which is grease. Enormous pressure
Is used, the typewritten piece of paper
being laid flat upon the zinc plate and
placed under heavy rollers. In print
the Ink rollers pass over the entire
pi.ite, but leave Ink only upon the
luUed impression, for the rest of the
plate? all the spaces between the let
ters?Is covered with water from a
water roller, which abhors ink. As
many as 104,000 Impressions have been
taken from one plate. Even the finest
hair line* in illustration seem not to
wear out.? Victor Smith, iu the New
York Press.
J?P?ncit Po?tl? Inatlnct*.
The poetic Instincts of the native
Japanese are very strong, and this fact
is well eiempllfled by the many poetic
names which be gives to his father
land. Just as we speak of Britain as
the "Land of the Free," the "Home
land," the "Mother Country." so do the
Japanese apply a poetic nomenclature
to their Island empire. Such titles as
"Country of the Bun." "Nest of the
Sun," "Between Heaven aud Earth,"
"Southern Country of Brave Warriors."
"Country of Peaceful Shores," "Caun
try Btiled by the Slender Sirord."
"Princesses' Country," "Land of Great
Gentlemen," "Honorable Country." and
others, are well known in Japanese lit

strange to say. the shops are full
of the most fascinating designs for

that the shirt waist fs nn absolutely

In a handsome costume it is not ho

Faced cloth, as the tiHc would Indi
cate la differently tinted at the two
aides, and the (owns fashioned In
such textures are made In a way to'
a how both orchid violet? a new and
delicate shade? with the under side in
mushroom white, is the color scheme
of one charming gown In French cloth.
A novel shoulder cape displays the two
aides of the cloth, the panels of the
narrowly gored skirt turning back at
the bottom for the same purpose. Silk
and chenille passementeries aud a vel
vet silk braid are effective trimmings
with this highly decorative trestment.
For spring wear nothing more ef
fective or auitable could be found than
any of these textures. But If furs
give the gowns a timely air, the straw
hats worn with them are decidedly
springlike, and for quite three wceka
straw hata have beeu seen.
Those accompauying the tailored
gowns In wool textures, however, con
form to the requirements of the mo
ment, In that their straw weaves are
soberly hued and often braided with
velvet. Odd turbans with the* brim
widest at the sides aud tying over the
top of the crown are shown in mixed
and aolid colors. Tiny steel buckles
and narrow velvet ribbons. In loose
atraps and flat rosettes, trim many of
these jauntily, and the shapes of other
atraw toques are so elaborate. in them
selves as to need scarcely any trim
ming.
Many charming simple points dis
tinguish the imported liats. For one
thing, several of the black or white
hats are relieved by a single bit of
color, which literally meets the eye
like a flash. A turban of cafe au lait
straw and lace was wreathed with
scarlet fuschians. A draped toque of
black net was eveu madder, for loose
ly scattered over it were embroideries
of peacock feathers in natural blues
and greens. Tlie slender head cf the
bird ornamented the headpiece.
A swagger kink with u cloth gown
that anybody might copy to their
spring advantage was a scarlet pique
vest. This was made exactly as a
man's waistcoat is made, with the ex
ception of the close lit, and when the I
little black jacket was buttoned over
It the effect was gay. Fronts and en- (
tire waistcoats of washable vestlngs
are said to be quite the thing for the
moment across the water, though they
are confined to gowna for prucUcal
wear.

those who know her it does not seem
extraordinary. As everybody knows.
Chicago girls are always clever, and
very often beuutiful. Mary Victoria
Letter happens to be both, and to have
a rich father besides. This Is u com
bination which certainly makes for i
success. Though Chicago was her
birthplace, it had no great hand in her
education. When she -was thirteen
yeara old her parents moved to Well
ington, and there she attended a pri
vate school. But most of Iter instruc
tion was given at home by private
teachers. Many of her holidays when
she was little were spent at the Lett
ers' summer home on Lake (lenevn.
She loved music, and at one time in
her girlhood lived In New York and
worked with music masters, besides
going a good deal into New York so

It Is the pn*ent theory that one
should eat a great variety of food. This
floes not mean that many different
kinds of food must be taken at om?
men I. but rather that one's diet should
be initde up of many different whole
wmi> things. Moreover, a wholesome
Jlot should not be permanently reject
ed simply because It Is not liked at
lirst. It Is frequently the case that by
siting Hitch an article a few times one
acquires a relish for It.
In table setting there is always some
thing new. At a recent dinner the hos

?jf pure gold thread solidly worked, the
border a lace design of white silk and
tine gold mesh In diamord-shape
stitches. The green for the table was
small ferns, .set in an oval dish of dark
blue china, with figures in relief rep
resenting peasants in holiday costume.
At each corner of this gold centre win
n candlestick in dull silver of Colonial
design, furnished with a shade of Iri
descent glass, which graduated from
tones of light yellow to dark orange,
and then to red.
In the lighting of houses plenty of
liuht judiciously shaded is what l?est
suits the majority. The Idea in nrti
tb-ial limiting is to suggest the bright
ness and warmth of sunlight within
the house walls. The only renl sun
light color being pale yellow, tlds
should be used In*, gely. ?' * .1 fnr more
comfortable and more economical to
have the liuht down low. surrounding
and warniinu t li?? occupants of the
room, and to have it standing out cold
and chill fi?ui the dManco. The wax
candle Is untidy, and Its li^lit is not
practicable for reading purposes, but
for general purposes there Is no pur
er or softer light. Many women pre
