AND STOCKINGS EACH COSTUME FOR Footwear To Day an All Important De tail In Modern Dress Dainty Embroidered Slippers with the Tea Gown Shoes and stockings are all Impor tant details in modern dress and a glimpse into the shoe closet of the fashionable woman is disheartening indeed to the woman of moderate means and a love of dress These are the halcyon days for the woman with an average sized foot for bargain sales in footgear are bargain sales indeed When it is possible to afford to have shoes made to order it is far more sat isfactory to do so but there is such a wide range of sizes and styles to be found in all the large shoe shops that it Is not necessary nor in fact desir able to slavishly follow any dictate of fashion anent the pointed or square toe the wide or narrow sole the low cut low shoe or the fancy slipper to be worn in the street with elaborately embroidered stockings Again good breeding is to be noticed The well bred well gowned woman will not be conspicuous If she can afford it she will wear silk stockings plain ones with perfect fitting well cut boots or shoes of well polished or patent leath er with her tailor gowns but she will not go about in public streets with her feet shod as for a ball The elabor ate style of gown worn for the after noon reception the tea gown the the ater gown and the ball gown all de mand in these luxurious days elabor ate footgear as shown in our illustra tion Suede shoes to match the color of the gown and silk stockings to match the shoes are considered smart for the spring an1 summer For winter the patent leather worn with open work or embroidered silk stocking is considered correct For the tea gown are the daintiest of em broidered satin slippers like mules with stockings to match while for the ball gown are satin or kid slippers embroidered in crystal or rhinestones or pearls with silk stockings to match or instead of the embroidery will be seen tiny bows of lace or lace edged ribbon Gold or silver slippers are also fashionable and are certainly ef fective while a rather startling note Is struck in the bright red satin slip pers with tiny rhinestone buckles and worn with silk stockings of exactly the same shade of red Smart Tub Dress The girl who intends to have some thing stylish and out of the ordinary will make the skirt of her tub frock from white linen and the coat from pink or blue and braid each in self colors Carrying out the same idea in woolen materials the coat will be of a darker shade than the skirt even though the colors be the same Before the material is stamped the coat should be finished with the ex ception of lining and facing and the skirt completely finished By so do ing the design can be arranged in ex actly the position desired and the ef fect will be much more satisfactory than if first braided and then made up The cuffs and collar of the coat are braided before attached If the gar ment is of tub material it should be laundered before worn To iron it have well padded board and lay the skirt right side down With irons as hot as can be used without scorching press material until perfectly dry Grace Through Dancing No child should begin toe dancing until 12 years old but much of the art can be learned before that and through dancing a little girl acquires a grace a poise and freedom of move ment which stands her in good stead during the awkward age as well as for the rest of her life Higher Crowns and Trimmings On the whole crowns and trim mings seem higher and It is not un common to find a high crowned hat with a row of wings bristling heaven ward all around it On toques the mercury wings pointing upward and backward will ire a popular trimming for early spring BANISHED THE BORE A Remedy That Dampened Hia Ardji For Sitting The head of a bureau in nu Impor tant government department has long been afflicted with a friend who calls upon him regularly and sits down and sils and sits and goes on sitting tiil assault and battery becomes a virtue The other day this sedentary bore was In the full exercise of his functions when suddenly the oflicial who had been scrutinizing him closely cried I knew it I was sure of it Confound those oilice boys with their tricks on strangers Theyve been putting glue on your chair again Ill limmic bring a sponge and a pail of waterj And pressing with all his weight on the shoulders of his victim to keep him down he continued Dont stir youd tear the cloth sure Nothing is half so adhesive as glue on a cane seat chair Here Jimmie moisten this gentleman J so that we can get him loose Dout spare the water the cloth wont shrink or fade The faithful messenger obeys and when the operation is con cluded the official conducts the visitor to the door and bids him farewell with the remark Perhaps you Avant to hur ry home and change your clothing so I wont keep you Good by bless you If your trousers are spoiled let me know and Ill stop the prire of them out of the pay of the infernal scoundrel if I can find out who he was and to that task I will devote all the energies of my lifetime and the whole machinery of the government Goodby The scoundrel I thought for several days past that there was something wrong His friend goes like the visions of youth never to return Argonaut COIN SWEATING An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen Into Disuse Closely allied to the making of coun terfeit coins and usually combined with that nefarious trade is whatis known as sweating whlcnfcrequifes considerable skill to accomplish suc cessfully A rubber mold is nsod into which a gold coin to be sweated is in troduced and held with a clip Copper wires having been adjusted the com is immersed in a bath of cyanide of potassium ami an electric battery set going The action of the electricity upon the coin in the acid uniformly sweats the metal that is to say causes so much of it to become detached This process is gone through with a large number of coins and the gold deposit thus obtained is extracted from the acid It is for the purpose of detecting the existence of such reduced coins that bankers weigh gold coins in a balance and if one is in the scale it will imme diately be shown by the indicator The light coin is then taken out and what ever the shortage represents that amount the customer will have to make up or be fined But all things considered sweating is but a poor business says H L Adam in his interesting book Tho Story of Crime and evidently it is thought so by the criminal fraternity for it lias dwindled to a mere nothing A sovereign weighs 12327447 grains and the limit of error in the weight is 2 of a grain from which it may readily be gathered that sweating can not now be a very lucrative business London Tit Bits The Waist Came Back The other day I hung my prettiest waist out on the line at the kitchen window said the flat dweller after I washed it Then I forgot all about it and when I went to look for it two days later it was gone I rushed fran tically down to the janitress and we climbed together over the coal into the area to look for the waist I lamented deeply It was a beautiful waist We couldnt find it The janitor came from the next house and helped us look but there was nothing doing I came sadly in at the window back over the coal and ascended to my sixth story Hat The next day I looked in the draw er of my chiffonier and found tiie waist there Say anything to the janitress Well I reckon not New York Press Curainn the Suffragette Its all right Mary he said pa tiently Go in for politics and stiid for the

when one is too tired to work longer ENDED HAIR HUNT CLEVER RUSE BROUGHT PEACE TO SUFFERING JUDGE In Eloquent Speech Learned Jurist Convinced Wife That Seven Foot Strand of Hair Existed Only in Her Imagination One of the overture stories of the last session of congress was told in the cloak room by Senator Nathan B Scott of West Virginia It seems that a judge of his ac quaintance had a very charming wife but she was over neat and was for ever brushing microscopic dust from his clothes still all went well until she started on the hair hunt After that she never sat beside her husband for five minutes but she perceived a hair of some sort on his clothing and hastened to remove it be It hair of dog cat or human being About this time there came to the town a long haired lady daily exhibit ing her seven feet of black hair to an admiring audience The judge was present at one of these exhibitions watched his opportunity and secured a hair On the Sunday after his brief visit to the long haired lady his last prep aration for worship was singular A corner of his handkerchief was care fully arranged to peep from his coat pocket and showing upon the white background dangled an end of black hair With marvelous patience he endured the searching scrutiny of the good lady beside him her eyes soon reached his pocket but a chance to se cure the hair without attracting at tention did not arrive until the ser mon began when the judge crossed his arms and was evidently absorbed in the eloquent utterances from the pulpit A cautious Jerk broughtr away a foot of black hair another yanlc an other foot There was a little-surprise that the end was not reined a third foot came to light then a pause to be sure that the hunt was unnoted A fourth yank still no end to that hair The good lady was exas perated and yank number five was en ergetic still no end The thing was like a nightmare a damp chill came over her but she was a determined and courageous American woman yank number six desperation talk about nightmare it was a joke to this One more pull and seven feet of hair was on the seat between her and the judge It could not be left there for the sexton to marvel over so it was hastily thrust under the heavy cover of her hymn book Quietly the judges hand slipped down to the hymn book a moment and the hair was in his pocket no matter if it broke now The sermon ended the ireful lady grasped the book with relentless grip holding on for dear life as she walked home The front door closed behind them William what did you have in your coat pocket this morning The judge looked at her with an innocent and questioning gaze You had this she went on sternly opening up the cover of the hymn book There was the flyleaf with the name neatly written on it nothing more absolutely nothing more She turned pale and stared blankly at her husband Could I have lost it she said faintly You could not have lost a speck of dust from that book coming home Mary he gravely assured her I saw the extraordinary way you gripped it What did you think was inside Think she said indignantly I know I had a hair there yards long and she told the whole story The judge surveyed her more in sorrow than anger My dear you have imagined the whole thing this hair hunting is be coming a positive mania with you and he proceeded with a speech as eloquent as any ever addressed to the listeners in a crowded court Nation al Magazine Occident and Orient All the great national questions dur ing the next hundred years will cen ter in the Orient according to Bishop Brent of Manila He says The home land will not suffer impoverish ment by giving lavishly to her choicest sons They are the very men who ought to rejoice to go just because they are strong and strengths unaltera ble commission is to go to the weak The east is calling some of you and you must respond as be comes men who knowing that they can live this life but once are bent on high adventure You must go with that beautiful combination of sympathy and tenderness and strength which will study to under stand the Oriental character The old theory was that there is a gulf separating east and west The new and the true is that all that sepa rates is incidental and all that unites is fundamental We must search for the essential and build upon it out of the abundance of our wealth Few and Far Between If men really would vote as they pray remarked Goodley this would truly be a happy world Yes replied Wise but in that case you wouldnt get some men to the polls once in ten years Wisdom of Solomon Solomon
