PST". _ J,*.' _ -i ' WOMEN OF "HOLLAND. Their Costumes Too Complex For Words, Says a Feminine Writer. HPl? ..., Mjtuma i^ o triflo J.ne Hiijiau s mriui.it ^ u .....vtoo complex for verba! dc-cription, & as feminine belongings usually are, ^ says Florence Craig Albrcoht in Scrilmer's, but t!:e v.'lire lace cap whichw covers t;.e head from ryebrows to nape or neck am! from ear to ear, curringout in rounded wings on each side of lu r t' ok. is always a conspicuous and inevitable portion of a woman's atti:". Jt may possibly be that on Sunday this cap is a tritie whiter or JtiiTcr or daintier than on week days, but the difference is not very apparent. The ladies assure us there is a vast difference in the quality of the net and the amount of handiwork employed, but the lens made no special note of that. In shape and outline the camera finds great distinction between these caps and those of Katwyk or Marken or Bois le Due, but between Sunday and Monday caps in Volendam it records none whatever. For the rest of the costume feminine Holland asks above all things apparently a very flat, narrow chest, surmounting enormous hips, and Volendam is no A it exception 10 ims lasiuun rmc. The invariable black "best waist" of the elder women is usually brightened by a square yoke ol lighter color and material, and the dark apron or overskirt is topped by six inches or more of gay plaid or bright colored band worn over an underskirt of dull blue striped or black material and cmoountabie petticoats. About the threat a collar formed of many rows of heavy dark red <coral beads is fastened by huge silver clasps, and the number of rows, the size and quality of the beads are matters for feminine pride. Long hair is not the only glair ol woman in Holland, save perhaps at Hark en. It is usually hidden and at Volesidam is cut quite close and en tire h covered by a tight fitting thick black silk cap concealed beneath the snowy white lace. The younger girls, from th< Xllliesi C&QUltr UU IDC jvuju^ uiwcjw old enough to wed, wear dresses and caps the exact counterpart oi their grave mothers, no less full oJ skirt or narrow of chest, tort muck gayer in color. A group of tin) maidens in a stiff breeze on the dike resembles nothing more than j swarm of butterflies. Wis Only Escape. There is a story often told to illustrate the manner in which President Lincoln was besieged by commission seekers. Hearing that t "brigadier general and his horse hac been captured and the general taken to Richmond, he asked eager!) about tbe horse. . , . 'The horse !" exclaimed his informant. "You want to know about the horse J" "Yea,"" said % Lincoln. "I car make a brigadier any day, but the horse was valuable." ! . :: To this John Russell Young, n his memoirs, adds -a' similar .tak He was call in? upon Lincoln om day -at the White House. .

X lie 111 2 b ICCb n iiiV/U u pher mrdces of a new typewriter is to ascertain whether all the keys work and whether the types are all , perfect or not. ' The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the ! one which is usually used, for it | contains every letter of the alphal bet Many uje "Now is the tira? j for every good man to come to the j aid of his country." But this one > is not so good, for four or five let! ters are missing. j After punching out the test senI tence on the small letters it should j be repeated, using the capital letj ters. Then the figures should be punched in rotation, for they are ! often inaccurate. I The most vulnerable points in a i typewriter are the keys and types. | with a little use they are apt to fly ' off, and it is highly important to ! ascertain that these are all securely affixed. ' Another point is the action. If the typewriter does not have a free and easy movement, you are certain to have trouble with it In buying a second hand machine or in renting always look carefully at the types, for usually they are worn uneven from use or have been jarred slightly out of place. If two or three types are inaccurate, they will ruin the whole appearance of the typewritten sheet. It has been found by many large firms that the renting of machines is much cheaper than the owning of them. A typewriter neeas con- i stant attention and repairs. Usually the renting company includes the repairing in the rental contract, and that is where the saving comes in. A typewriter is as delicate as a watch. Never attempt to repair a break yourself. It will probably evolve into a series of complications which will make a costly repair job. Always keep the machine clean. The work will be neater and cleaner if the machine is clean and well oiled, and the life of the typewriter depends directly upon the cleaning ana oiling.?New York Herald. t ; * .
