Vanity furnished tho iiiPpinitlon for
many of tlio invontloiiH bIiowii at tlui
patent (i 111 c In Washington. One of thu
latcBt of this sort Ih a musk of vory thin
rulthcr designed to be worn on tlio face
at night. It cannon profuse piTHplrntinn
which washes impurities out of the skin
ami makes thu complexion clcarci. Sun
tan it iuickly romovctt, ho it in claimed.
Another device, for producing ilimplcH,
is a wotuan'H idea. It in a who niaHk,
likewiHu to l)o put on when going to lied.
Ily an arrangement of Bcrewn, pencllH of
wood, vory blunt, aro made to press up
on the cheeks and chin at the points
where dimples aro desired. Uncomfort
able? Why, of course. Hut, as the
French say, it is worth while to HiiiTcr
for beauty's sake.
Inventions aro on record at the Patent
ofllco for supplying protty nearly every
part of the female form divine. Though
a woman may have no mom figure
than a broomstick, she can bo trans
formed into a veritable Juno, so far as
outward appearances go, by means of
these devices. Kulso busts, hips and
calves aro inado of rubber, to be blown
up like balloons, and in many other
styles, while the young lady of build
hopelessly skclotoncsquo may procure a
complete stutTed jacket which tills out
her shape at every point to the extent
requisite for counterfeiting the desirable
degroj of embonpoint.
If one is so unfortunato as to lack a
nose ho can obtain a falso one of papier
macho artfully enameled to imitate tlio
skin. One kind of imitation proboscis is
attached to a spectacle frame, so that
tho owner puts on his counterfeit nasal
organ in adjusting his glasses. Vet an
other stylo is intended to bo painted at
intervals. When it gets shabby tho
wearer has merely to go to some capable
artist and have it touched up with water
colors. Several applications have been
made for patents on processes for setting
diamonds in tho teeth tho front teeth
of courso holes boing drilled to receive
tho gems. Such ornaments must have
rather a gastly effect, one would think.
Dental surgeons have patented pro
cesses for imitating gold fillings in falso
teeth. This is done by burnishing gold
foil upon them in tho manner commonly
termed "fire gilding." Nobody would bo
likely to suspect that grinders showing
plain signs of repair were artificial. A
very curious invention is a dovico for
keeping tho mouth opon while singing.
Teachers of vocal music have had troublo
as to this point with their pupils, but it
muy bo obviated by employing tho con
trivance described, which has a spring
and may bo set so as to expand tho jaws
at any angle desired. Speaking of the
mouth and tooth reminds ono of a patent
that was grunted ouly two jeure ago on
un ordinary corncob of the pattern fami
liur in nature, covored with corundum
pusto. It was to bo used for polishing
dental plates.
Masculine vanity is concorncd in tho
genesis of about eighty patents for var
ious kinds of mustache guards. Some
of those contrivances take the form of
metal attachments for tho cup or glass.
Ono such is a gold plate with a spring
which may bo fastened to any drinking
veesol at a moment's notice. Another
is especially designed for boor glasses.
A tubo connected with it goes down
deep into tho beer, so that tho mus
tached drinker is able to avoid tho foam.
Similar devices aro applied to spoons.
Other guards aro to be worn liko spec
tacles somowhat, with wires to pass back
of tho ours of the wearer and hold them
on. Tho shield for tho mustache is of
gold or silver, or of fine gold wire net.
Moro simple is a pair of wiro springs in
tho shape of a helix, ono of which is
made to encircle each wing of tho hir
sute ornament, keeping it away from tho
mouth.
In buying any cosmetic it is safest to
solect a patented article, because Undo
Sam will not grant such rights for any
articlo that is injurious. That is ono
reason why most makers of such prepar
ations keep their composition secret and
content thomsolvos with trademarks and
labels. The protection accorded by law
to a label or trademark muy be perpotu-
uteri indefinitely by re-registration,
whereas a patent can only bo extended
by act of congress. Tho rules of tho
patent olllco reject all that is "injurious
to tho well being or sound morals of so
cioty.'' A patented cosmetic is good to
purchase, because it has been analyzed
by skilled government chemists and has
Btoori tho requisite tests of novelty unci
usefulness. Tho same remarks apply to
foods. A recent application for a patont
on a liquid preparation for brightening
tho eyes, alleged to "intensify their color
unci brilliancy," was refused as a matter
of course, because it contained a harm
ful drug. Ono face-wash submitted not
long ago revealed on examination thu
" presence of corrosive sublimate us an in
gredient. A novel contrivance is a hairpin that
also serves us a holder for eyeglasses
which aro thus attached by a string to
thocoitfure. It is a curious fact, by tho
way, that hair-pins possess individuality.

something of chaructor in the bending
she gives it. llarbed hairpins, which
cannot gut loose and fall out, have been
patented,
One of thu piottlcst modern materials
for decorating with needlework is the
wlro-twlst etamlne. It appears to bo a
very coarso meshed kind of scrim made
in canvas weave of cotton thread, ho
tightly twisted as to bo wiry. There
aro degrees of lliieuess in thu materials,
thu coarsu being very open, and therefore
most effective for certain purposes.
Kor a table scarf a medium grade of
etamlne is used. Thu pattern which is
stumped upon it in outline is pond lilies
and their largo plate-like leaves. The
outline is followed in rope stitch with
black silk. Tho Mowers are tilled in with
heavy white silk in the longest possible
stitching, all running lengthwise of tho
petal. The leaves are tilled with green
of tho shade shown by an accurate study
of thu natural Illy pad. Thu stums have
a lino of greenish brown worked closely
against tho black stitching, which covers
tho marking of tho pattern.
Tho black outlining in this, us in other
designs, detracts a little from tho reality
of thu natural forms imitated, but it
gives a cameoliko olrect, which is now
considered desirable in embroidery.
After working, the piece !b stretched
upon a lining of satin unci edged with
Cluny lace, which is headed by a band
of satin ribbon.
A sofa pillow of tho very course open
meshed etumiue is filled with yellow silk
in cross-stitch, thu pattern of largejiop
pies being first outlined and veined with
dark red and left without tilling. Tho
design thus appears transparent upon a
shiny, silken ground. Tho back of tho
sofa pillow is of plain satin the color of
tho needlework.

Recently imported silks have raised

Mario Stuart bonnets are again in

Rich russet brown hopsneking, with
brown velvet sleeve pulls and collarette

five emeralds framed in
Other designs show tho nnrrow band
ornamented with a single fourleaf clover
in emeralds, tho stem twisted about the
gold band.
Tho red vests in vogue are made of
fine cloth in various shades, from scarlet
geranium ton rich dahlia tint. The
military effect, when tho vest is buttoned
up to the high collor in the throat, is
perhaps the most ultra-fashionable, but
again it is seen open at the neck to
display a four-in-hand tie.
Tho bride of today carries oither a
fun of white ostrich fcuthora or a prayer
book bound in suede, moire, ivory or
vellum. Tho drooping bouquet is tied
with long satin ribbons. Ono or two
pearl or diamond ornuments aro
permissible, though very young brides
look best with no such adornment.
Woolen dresses lire much tuuclo in tho
now dahlia tint, in dark myrtle greens
and in browns. Some faced plain cloths
aro most worn, but a courso woolen can
vas with an oatmeal surface seems likely
to bo almost equally favored. Elaborate
trimmings nro quite the order of tho
day, and simplicity is a thing of thu past.
Fur gloves uro to bo very fashionable
for tho winter. They will bo specially
liked for carriage wear, as, in coming
and going, tho hands aro more or less
exposed in holding up tho long and
cumbrous train. Besides, many women
who wear rings liko to removed tho
gloves while shopping, and the fur gloves
come on and of very easily.
A London laundrymau says that tho
use of shirt cull's for jotting down memo
randa is more common than is, perhaps,
commonly supposed. He related how
ono day a young fellow drove up in a
cab and rushed into the olllco in great
excitement, asking whether some shirts
deposited in the name of L. had been
washed. Wo found they had not, and as
the owner turned them over in a heat of
feverish excitement, he fairly yelled with
joy, pointing to a little column of
figures on the left culf of one, which ho
explained were tho numbers of eight
810 bank notes which had been stolen, and
had tho shirts been washed all hopes of
over getting them back must have been
abandoned. They wcro, howevur, suc
cessfully traced and recovered a few days
later. The cull's of stock exchange men
aro often covered with mjsterious
characters, presumably indications of
tho stock market, and the "tips" found
on thu wrist linen of racing men were
actually taken advantage of by the
ironing girls on one or two occasions
with success. It is not yet recorded,
however, that the mannish joung
woman has taken to "cuff jotting," us
she has to cuff and shirt wearing.
Provide yourself with a bottloof Ayer's

Ho was a brave man. That was the
rock-established fact concerning him.
No person could boust of having seen
him cringe or grow a shade paler or hold
his breath while thu blood beat in his
temples, and that was' saying a great
deal, for ho was not unused to danger in
Its most savage form. He commanded
instant respect and admiration.
And yet ho was an arrant coward.
Ho was not aware of it in the least,
and if ho had known It he would prob
ably wrathfully, indignantly punished
himself by going straight to her and
forcing himself to say his mind, but tho
trouble was ho was so blissfully, sweetly
unconscious of it.
liven she did not know he was afraid
of her. If she had been like most wo
men she would have seen it, dimpled
and laughed over it, laughed at him; but
shu was not like other women. That
was why she frightened him so. lie had
seen women in his day, any number of
them, and they had never alarmed him,
in fact he hud never thought much about
them. They were dainty butterflies to
bo kept in thu sunshine unci out of thu
wind, and who rather depended upon
him.
They woio well enough, but they tired
him and he wondered howtheolder men
could enriuro tho same routine all their
lives. Hut she had a poise of her own
and seemed self-sulllcient.
Ho had never analyzed it out and in a
puzzled way concluded it must be thu
way shu dressed her hair or wore her
gowns or tho scent of violets which
wavered about her. There was always
a tormenting idea in his mind that his
presence alone did not call up the tempt
iug half smile on her lips, and that her
clear eyes would still have the look of
quiet happiness in their depths if he
was not there. She looked just that way
when she talked to the doting old pen
sioner of eighty or the tagged newsboy
on the corner. It showed a very nice
spirit in her, and yet ho was selfish
enough to wish that sometimes when ho
went away tho gentle light in her face
would fade. It never had yet, because
he always looked back to sou.
He was quite well aware that hu was
in love with her, but still he had never
told her, simply because he had never
wanted to enough to warrant thinking
about it. It contented him perfectly to
sit opposite her in the green and gold
room and watch the play of her faco and
tho flashing motion of her white fingers
in the embroidery shu loved to do. She
looked so thoroughly sweet and comfort
able and homelike, and when she
laughed, as shu did once in a while, it
tinged the whole room with rose color,
and hu would sit smiling silently while
tho coal snapped in the grate.
There came a time when the thought
came to his mind that this dreamy joy
could not last eternally, and it quite
roused him to consider what hu should
do if somo other man were foruvor to de
bar him from his seat in the green and
gold room where hu watched her debar
him by means of an insignificant bit of
gold and a half dozen sanctified words.
So hu resolved to ask her to marry
him.
The resolve did not throw him into a
norvous fever nor break his calm securi
ty. It was a very simple matter when
one looked at it in the right light- a few
words rightly said, a look from tho eyes
and the thing was done. It did not oc
cur to him that he should be afraid.
That was because he did not know that
ho was a coward.
So ho dropped into his old place that
night and watched her a little while.
Ho half opened his lips to begin, when
she glanced at him brightly as she made
somo passing remark. He did not speak
for he was bewildered at the tremulous
chill which suddenly made itself mani
fest all over him in a most extraordinary
way.
Ho had never beforo known her eyes
to drive all thoughts from his mind and
tangle his tongue inextricably.
He could not comprehend why hu con
tinued to make remarks on thu weather
unci invent sullies about thu last opera.
He was certain that he could say what
he wanted to if she would ouly keep her
oyes on her work, but he was not sure
that she would not look at him again,
and he did not want toexperiencu anoth
er cold chill, because it took so long to
get over tho shock of tho first.
In his surpriso and dismay at himself
he kept on making bon-mots concerning
tho weather.
Then he heard the clock strike twelve
and meekly went home.
He slunk by the policeman and dodged
pedestrians because at lust he knew hu
wus a coward.
He did not make a light in his room
because ho knew that if he saw the cow
ard's faeo in the mirror he could not re
frain from injuring it with his strong
right arm, and hu was naturally a peace
ablo man opposed to scrimmages.
In the morning he took a pen and pa
per and wrote out what he hud tried to
say to her tho night bofoio. When the
lid of the iuail-bo clicked he started.
Uu thought some sneering, laughing
voice had said, "Coward."
Hut ho had thu reputation of being a
a brave man. His lifelong friends al
ways spoke of him as such.
