Practical Blouse Photographed by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. No pins, no buttons, no hooks and oyes arc needed to adjust this llttlo silk waist. You merely slip the arms Into the Bleoves, cross tho fronts, bring ties around to side, and "there you are." The great popularity bf this blouso has grown from Its easy adjustment and from tho fact that It re quires so llttlo packing for the wcok-end trip. APPROPRIATE FOR THE NECK I BEST COLOR FOR CURTAINS Pretty Things That Have Been Given the Sanction of Best-Dressed Parisian Women. Tho Jabots, pllescs and rabats are moro Important than over In tho decoration of separate blouses and bodies of one-piece frocks. Hero aro some notes taken at a showing In one of tho well-known Hngerlo shops not far from Paquln's. Tho largor tho better. This seems to bo tho rule for fashioning frills of cither laco or linen. One-Bided effects predominate A central strip of laco, tucked material or embroidery Is flanked on ono side by an Immenso frill. Heading, eyelet embroidery, laco, heavy and fine, may bo used at the lino of Junction, and hall fringe has mado Its appearance on Bomo novelties. Pleatlngs of not are edged with laco motifs In heavy Orlontal weaves or flno Valenciennes. Sometimes a ploated frill will bo edged with two or threo other frills of pleated laco. Tho possibilities of variety aro unlim ited. Jabots or pllsses aro extremely wide and long. In tho majority of cases they extend to tho waistline and over as far as tho shoulder. Tho shape is generally broader at tho top than at tho bottom. Black buttons of satin or velvet aro introduced ou laco. FOR MANY GOWNS. Black and white Is tho color combi nation of this becoming turban, with a touch of gilt to enliven it. Tho hat Is covered with black velvet draped on tho loft sldo and knotted In irregu lar loops and ono long end, Around tho crown a scarf of white satin Is draped, tho ends of this also knotted nnd mingling with knotted velvet on tho loft. Along tho bottom edgo of tho scarf Is sowed a narrow whlto Bilk frlngo and around tho top a narrow strip of gilt lace. This Is a hat which could bo worn with many costumes nnd bo equally pretty with all, owing to Its neutrality of color. Strange That Gray, So Eminently Appropriate, Has Not Been More Largely Made Use Of. In ono of tho popular plays of tho day tho woman who Is artistic will get an idea weir worth following as to houso decoration. In ono of tho scenes a room Is decorated with gray curtains. Why, says tho artistic woman, haa she not thought of gray curtaliiB be fore? Why ndhero to bluo and brown, rose and white, when gray makes a framo for tho outsldo world that Is inimitable? It softens tho garish brightness of an nzuro sky, and drapes cho sad day with sympathetic har mony. Moreover, a gray tono with any room Is never obtrusive, does not weary tho senses, Is dignified, charm ing nnd picturesque. It is, in short, n perfect choice. Gray curtains mado of chintz, Chlnn silk and sheeting, or tho sumptuous brocade and satin, aro tho Ideal accompaniment of tho houso where evory color scheme Is kopt in low tones. Tho roBuIt Is a habitation very soothing to tho eyes nnd nerves and ono of which nobody wearies quickly. Whlto walls go well with gray cur tains and they should bo hung with engravings. geel fenders nnd flro Irons complete tho plcturo nnd tho electric light fittings match. The mahogany furniture shines and tho damask and silver that deck tho table at meal times aro at onco slmplo nnd splendid In design. Solid comfort 1b tho motto of tho homo, and curtains of gray will carry out this motto. For the Silver Mesh Bag. On account of Its durability tho sil ver mesh bag will not go out of ex lstenco for somo tlmo to como. In fact, as there Is a wido salo of them etill being made, It is wiso to keep them in tho highest lustor of which you nro capable. Whero there is noth ing but silver In tho make-up of your bag tho best cleaner Is a rathor strong solution of ammonia nnd wator, in which tho bag can bo boiled for tho short space of a mlnuto, and then shook about in It so as to dlslodgo ev ory littlo particle of dust. You will bo surprised how much dust this pro cess will Bhow up. Juvenile Halrdresslng Is noticeably softer for somo time back. Ono of tho lntcst Ideas In chlldrcn't halrdresslng Is tho transformation of tho Dutch stylo into a Louis XVI pe riod. It consists of having tho cropped hair curled and falling in long ring lets, completely surrounding tho head from car to ear, Instead of being combed down straight. Tho arrangement is decldedlj quaint and protty. It will bo becom ing to even a greater number of chll drcn than was tho harsher Dutch style. Unbecoming Earrings. Never Indulge In Bllvcr earrings unless closely studded with colored stones, as tho effect of silver agalnBt tho faco is unbecoming. 'SS TURN Both Factions Offer Leadership to Yuan Shi Kai. Crafty Oriental Turned Tide In Boxor Revolt by Shooting Man Pro tected by "Bullet Proof Oath" Friend of the People. Shanghai. Yuan Shi Knl, called "tho Btrong man of Chlnn," townrds whom tho oyes of all tho world today aro turned, has boon offered tho premiership by tho throAo nnd tho prosldency by tho Republicans. It is pointed out that at tho ttnio of tho tyoxor war, Yunn was tho ono man In China who could command tho respect of foreigners and at tho Bamo tlmo unlto tho warring Chinese. Yuan accepted tho premiership, con sidering It tho best opportunity to bring about peace. A few days after ho had assumed theso duties ho told his friends that ho had thought tho situation ovor carefully and con cluded that thcro Is no hopo of sav ing tho Mnnchu dynasty and that n chnngo of government Is inevitable. Yuan is said to bo of lowly birth, meager education nnd superficial knowledge. Ho has novor traveled be yond tho borders of his own country nnd ho speaks no Inngungo but his own. His countrymen any that tho strength of his nppcal to them lies in tho fact that ho is quite gcncrnlly and firmly believed, throughout tho empire, to bo patriotic. Ills deposition from power for three years, 1908 to 1911, was duo to his having repeatedly compelled tho Manchu princes to relinquish certain revenues which they wero using for privato purposes, that ho might havo money to build up tho army and to Institute reforms In tho schools. Yuan always seemed to havo In mind somo ultlmato benefit to tho people at largo, regardless of tho personal wish es of tho ruling dynuBty. Tho incident that brought Yuan to tho notlco of tho crafty old empress dowager and tho admiration of tho foreign diplomats occurred whllo ho Yuan Shi Kal. was mayor of a small town In the Province of Shantuug. Tho Boxer movement was strong and many of tho most reputnblo Chlneso wero on tho verge of Joining It, when Yunn de cided that ho must tako an impressive stand against tho fanatical nscendency of this secret order. Ono of tho tenets of tho Boxer faith was that participation in the rites of tho order rendered a person immuno to tho effects of bullets. They be lieved tho "foreign devils" could not hurt them with tholr guns. When Yuan was invited to Join tho BcxcrB ho did not daro rofuso, and h.o did not wish to accopj, becauso ho taw defeat ahead for them. "I will Join with you," ho Bald, "upon ono condition that you provo to mo you cannot bo harmed by for eign bullets." Tho Boxor commltteo agreed to tho test, and ono enthusiastic Boxer Btood ugnlnst tho wall of tho mayor's gar den to ho shot at by Yuan himself with a now model Martlnl-Henry rifle. Yuan smiling oxplalnod that this test tfould sottlo for all time In tho minds of tho citizens how unimportant was this boasted power of tho foreign devils. Tho Boxer leader was reverontlnllj entombed at Yuan's exponso and prayors woro said over his gravo for 100 days. This Is tho man of nervo, cunning and diplomacy who is being called upon in China today. , Wolf Kills Eleven Cats. San Antonio, Tox. An nnlmal, be lieved to bo a lobo wolf, passed along tho fourth block of San Pedro nvenuo otio night, nnd at daylight cloven dead cats wero found In yards and under houses. In prnctlcally every lnstnnco tho cat camo to Its death from a slnglo stab or tusk wound in tho breust. NEVER COUNTED THE GIRLS Prince's Answer to Question Typical of Life In the Countries of the Orient. Tho big punkah flopped and flagged between tho columns, ns wo ant nnd talked. Mem Sahib, who wns born In tho Caucasus amid Georgian nnd Cir cassian dignitaries, nnd so had a hap py way with Orlontal princes, took us nil bnck by suddenly asking tho good 'gray prince how mnny brothors ho had. His highness looked nt her with n queer llttlo smile, half tolcrnnt, half amused, nnd began, with groat show of sorloiifinoBs, to count thorn on his Angers, first of tho right hand, thon of tho left; nftor going onco or twice round, ho halted, started ugaln, then Btoppod nnd snld: "I am nfrnld I must ask my secre tary!" Tho secretnry replied, with dignity: . "Your highness had a hundred nnd nineteen brothers!" Mem-Sahib, not whit nhnshed, then asked tills good Orlontal noblomnn concerning his sisters. Ho smiled very charmingly, snylng: "I am afraid I do not know; wo novcr counted thorn!" Charles John ston In tho Atlantic Monthly. BURNING ITCH WAS CURED "I deem It my duty to tell nbout a euro that tho Cuticura Soap and Oint ment havo mado on myself.

Her Credit Was Strained. A young country merchant who had something of a reputation for cloeo figuring was especially attentlvo to tlio village schoolma'am. Tho young womnn had a sweet tooth nnd was not nt all retiring abtnit making tho fact known. Accordingly, she hinted to her admirer that a box of chocolates would bo greatly appreciated on tho occasion of his next visit. Lntor tho suggestion was repeated and again duly heeded.
