Popular Crepe de Chine.
The way that fashionable folk have
adopted the crepo de chine craze is
•■ally something to marvel at. One
•eea It in the smartest of shirtwaist
paits for morning wear, with tne skirt
Chat clears the ground and just shows
Che tip of the shiny black leather
•hoe. One sees it in the more elabo
nte luncheon and afternoon frocks,
where frills and laces are called upon
to add to the dressy effect. And one
•ees it in all of the newest tones, in
the novel coral and geranium pinks,
Che new almond, olive, and bronze
green; in the shot, the printed, and
the damasse effects for the nandsom
ast of dinner and ball gowns; and
then there is a wealth of elaboration,
hand embroideries, real laces, em
giecements that glisten with tiny
apangles and mock jewels, and with
ampire sashes of chiffon and ace that
(string out the dull luster of the crepe
to perfection. For any and all oc
casions the crepe de chine gown is
the correct thing; the only thing to
know is how to tashion it to meet the
special requirements of each. And
this Is what the smart girl prides her
•eif that she can do, with the result
that she presents a distinguished ap
pearance in every gown of her crepe
4e chine repertoire.

Muffs C-*«nge Shape.
Muffs are a very important Item in
the fashionable girl’s winter outfit,
and the new ones are just as quaint
and old-timey as are the smart ef
fects they accompany. There are
the familiar flat couch shape, the
round pillow, bigger than ever, and
nowadays they term the Victorian
what used to be called the granny
muff.
A very fascinating novelty com
bines a hand bag and muff; the bag
Is mounted invisibly in the top of the
muff, jnst a jeweled clasp peeping out
to indicate its whereabouts Others
In the same style show merely a
purse, but either form is in the
height of fashion.
Suggestion for Dressing Table.
Wonen who like cretonne draperies
ftr boudoirs and dressing tables will
be Interested in the following sug
gestions for keeping the cretonne-cov
esed dressing table clean:
A piece of beveled glass, the exact
else of the top of the dressing table,
to laid over the cretonne. This not
malf protects the fibric, but adds
greatly to the appearance of a dainty
piece of furniture.
If large roses are used in the pat
tern the glass will bring out every
beauty and enhance the coloring.
#
Corset Cover.
Corset covers made on simple lines
are always the best and can be made
as tasteful as may be liked by the
use of fine material and dainty work.
ITiis one is full at the front, plain at
the back, where it is drawn down in
gathers at the waist line, and is fitted
by means of shoulder and under arm
seams, there beirg an extension below
the waist which serves to keep it in
place. As illustrated the material is
fine nainsook, the trimming German
Valenciennes lace and beading thread
ed with ribbon, bat all the materials
and trimmings in vogue for under
wear are available.
The corset cover consists of the
fronts ard the back and is finished at
the front with a box plait at the cen
ter of which the closing is made. At
both the neck edge and the waist line
bauds of beading are applied whicn
are threaded with ribbon that serves
to draw the cover up to the required
size.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 1% yards 3t»
inches wide, with 3% yards of bead
ing and 3V£ yards of lace.
Sugar burned on a gas flame is

Soap shavings or a small lump o?
yellow soap tucked into a mousehole
will prevent the reappearance of the
mouse most effectually.
Marks that have been made on
paint can be removed by rti ibing wi'h

If stovepipes are well rubbed with

About Earrings.
No matter what very many think of
the piercing of the ear and decorating
it with the earring, the earring is en
evidence. It is at times made to ex
ploit a single pearl. At others it is
loaded down with a gypsylike burden
which was a sartorial feature of
Queen Victoria's reign.
Now a fair one has appeared in ear
rings which look exactly like link but
tons. These particular earrings are
of turquoises, two stones to an ear.
They are exactly like those some men
wear in their cuffs. In this case one
of the stones rests flat on the ear
and the other droops a bit. Each
is edged with a rim of gold. Whether
this be the mere fad of one individual
—the earrings in question may have
associations—or a coming fashion is
not as yet clear.
Smart Evening *Vear.
Buttons, both velvet-covered and
metal, ivory and porcelain, will be
used on the smart velvet suits; and
the girl who can paint on china can
have some exquisite sets that would
cost quite a smart sum in the shops
for a fraction of what her less skilled j
sister has to pay.
For those beautiful evening opera
wraps the smart set has adopted the
moire antique velvetr with a rush.
These are as sheer and supple as can
be, and yet there is richness to them
that throws up into high relief the
handsome and expensive trimmlnga
which so appropriately acompany
them. The shawl shapes are vastly
modish In these; and all of the more
delicate tints—orchid-manve, prim
rose-yellow, almond-green, and such
are decorated with real laces and
lined with much plisse chiffon.
While- the
I Tea ftiEws
The latest is a dull red sluUe called
Ray Bias.
Cuffs may be of one kind of velvet
and collar of another.
The ruffle vogue makes it easy to
lengthen a too brief skirt.
Trottoir skirts may be anywhere
from three to five inches from the
ground.
Fringed Venise lace medallions are
among the imported trimming novel
ties.
There is a lovely new crepe de
chine embroidered with little flowers
and gold spots.
Detail must be wrought by a master
hand if it is not to result in a merely
fussy gown.
Just the reverse of daytime shades,
very delicate monotone tints will be
la mode for evening.
For Throat and Shoulders.
The fancy for transparent effects
around the throat and shoulders Is
one that holds a very firm place In
the affections of the smart dresser.
There Is simply no other effect that is
so universally becoming that will lend
a dressier effect at a more moderate
cost than this same yoke design.
Usually It is carried out in lace, and
a chiffon lining is placed underneath
so that t^ere ts no hint or suggestion
of bareness. Almost any kind of lac*
is used. There are the coarse laces,
the Russian guipures, the Irish cro
chet and other weaves of bold and
striking design. The Italian filet
laces, with their quaint figures darned
and interwoven on a square mesh, and
the modern reproductions of the con
vent laces are in high demand; while
the fine meshes, the point de gaze, the
point d’Alencon and the like, with all
of the fine machine-made nets, the re
pousse, the boule de neige—the lat
est fancy, which shows a chenille
talle on a net background—any and
all of these are delightfully appropri
ate with the crepe de chine gown.
Separate Coats.
For those long and loose separatt
coats that are so much admired, an<J
which when well chosen can be made
becoming to any girl, the broaa-tail
velours is a marked favorite. Thia
imitates the markings of the broad
tail or baby lamb to such perfection
that one almost imagines a furry look
to the velvet. The Irish chochet trim
mings are simply stunning with this
material; and the loose designs car
rapidly be copied by the girl who
knows how to sew, for there is nc
semblance of a fit to them. Thf
only thing is to get the sleeves big
enough and puffy enough; and to have
just the correct shawl point in thi
back. For the vogue of the shawl
point is one of the coming season i
fads.
Deviled Kidneys.

Child’s Long Coat With Shield.
Long coats, made loose and ampla
and with wide sleeves are better suit
ed to young children than any othei
sort and are much in vogue. This one
is adapted to the entire range of
shield which can be used or omitted
as may be preferred. As illustrated
the material is dark red cloth stitch
ed with corticelli silk, trimmed with
applique and closed with hmdsomc
carved buttons. The big collar is al
ways becoming to childish figures and
the wide sleeves mean comfort as
well as style.
The coat is made with fronts an<J
back and is fitted by means of shoul
der and under arm seams the collar
serving as a finish for the neck, the
shield being separate and attached
beneath, closing at the back. The
sleeves are made in one piece and
gathered into straight bands which
are concealed by the shaped cuffs.
The quantity of material* require I

Cause for tears.
“Hardshihp sharpens the wits,” said
Bishop Isaac W. Joyce of Minneap

brighter or better informed lad than
the son of a confirmed gambler of
Cincinnati.
“During my residence in Cincinnati
I saw a good deal of this boy. His
father’s disgraceful conduct seemed
to stimulate him to study and im
prove himself. Instances of his pre
cocious and wise sayings were con
stantly being passed about.
“The boy, coming home from a his
torical lecture one night, found his
father in the parlor playing for high
stakes. Luck was going against th^
man and his son, perceiving this, be
gan to cry.
“What are you crying for, Jim?”
the player said.
“ ‘At a lecture to night,” the boy
answered, ‘I learned that Alerfhnder
the Great wept when he heard of the
multitude of cities his father had con
quered. He feared that his father
would leave him nothing to win. Well,
I weep for an opposite reason. I fear
that my father will leave me nothing
to lose.’ ”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ONLY FILTERED AIR IN
NEW HOTEL ST. REGIS
When a St. Regis lodger pays $125
a day for apartments in the most ex
pensive hostelry that New York ever
had, he or she purchases not only
those pieces de resistance for which
the artistic and culinary frontiers of
two hemispheres have been ran
sacked, but also the privilege of
breathing air that has been filtered
and prepared just as carefully as are
the hundred and one other luxuries
awaiting those who can afford to pay
for them. St. Regis air is Simon Pure
—every cubic foot of it—being filtered
of a barrel of dust a day.
By reason of its remarkable system
of air filtration—if for no other reason
—the new hotel occupies about the
softest place imaginable in the lap of
luxury. All its patrons are insured
absolutely against breathing contam
inated air or air in the viewless
jungles of which crouches the omni
present microbe. No other public or '
private structure in this city or coun- |
try is equipped with such extensive
and remarkable air filters as the new
Fifth Avenue temple of luxury.
On the lip of every visitor, in the
endless pilgrimages being made to
the new shrine of the millionaire, is
the question: How is the twenty
story building ventilated? This ques
tion is natural because no one ever
sees a window open—and but few
subway kitchen—as white as marble
can make it—and down still another
marble stairway into a sub-sub-sub
way engine and boiler region three
floors below the street level. All the
St. Regis stairways are marble—even
in the engine and boiler region sixty
feet under Fifth Avenue.
Chief Engineer Jurgensen controls
the lungs of the hostelry. During
every hour of the twenty-four he or
his assistant has a finger on the pulse
of the great, breathing building.
Should it flutter for the slightest in
stant the fact is at once communi
cated to the chief engineer and a rem
edy prescribed.
Unlocking a polished oak door of
expensive and handsome carving—a
door that would not shame the aver
age hotel as a main portal—the en
gineer entered a narrow passage,
lighted by electricity and walled on
one side by a queer arrangement of
cheese cloth shutters, each shaped
like the letter V. Walling the other
•side of the compartment was a sys
tem of radiator coils, twenty deep,
with narrow interstfees through which
gales of ice-cold air were blowing
from the V-shaped shutters. Passing
on through another door, the heating
room was revealed. Here were long
rows of parallel troughs filled with
boiling water, from which the steam

open doers—in the St. Regis. From
one end of the year to the other its
windows will remain closed—if the
new air filters prove successful.
Their success thus far is attested
by the statement of Chief Engineer J.
C. Jurgensen that nearly a barrel of
dust had been filtered daily from the
air since the hotel was opened some
seven weeks ago. ,
According to Chief Engineer Jur
gensen, during the forty-odd days that
the filters have been in operation ex
actly thirty-three and a fraction bar
rels of dust have been combed, so to
say, out of approximately one hundred
million cubic feet of air as inhaled
and exhaled by the hotel during its
brief existence of less than two
months.
A barrel of dust a day! Startling
as this is as a first impression, it be- j
comes more so when it is considered j
that the air in the region around
Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fifth street—
the millionaire section—is many
times cleaner, and hence healthier,
than the atmosphere in other and
more densely populated sections in
the metropolis. Yet in their ambition
to put the St. Regis in a class by
itself as a lily white inn Col. John
Jacob Astor, the owner, and Manager
Haan decided to spend $300,000 on air
filters. Their dream was to make it
the most sanitary as well as luxurious
hotel in existence, and apparently the
dream has come to pass.
Behind it and its fulfillment is an
interesting and intricate story written
in machinery, dynamos, air screens,
wonderful radiators which heat or
cool the air as the need may be, in
conjunction with immense troughs of
boiling water to revivify the vitiated
air preparatory to its being fanned
through the abnormally tall and nar
row-chested structure by means of
ten linear miles of piping.
Properly speaking, the story of the
St. Regis air combs or filters is a ro
mance below stairs. For in illustrat
ing it Chief Engineer Jurgensen con
ducted the interviewer by a round
about passage from the office on the
main floor down one flight of marble
stairs, through a subway dining room,
down another flight through a sub

»arose steadily as from a singing fire
place kettle.
Engineer Jurgensen explained:
“When the air is first drawn into the
building and subjected to a prelimi
nary filtering, it is, of course, of the
same temperature as the open atmos
phere. Having passed through the first
filter, it is cooled and blown between
the heated coils and thence into this
steam room. Here it acquires—or,
rather, reacquires—the humidity or
moisture which was filtered out simul
taneously with the dust microbes, and
other foreign particles. To that ex
tent the air is artificial, but as the
most necessary ingredient of air is
oxygen and a certain humidity, we be
lieve that our guests breathe the best
air that it is possible to furnish in
New York.”
By special permission a sample of
the dust gathered from the St. Regis
filters and spread thinly on a plate
four inches in diameter has been sub
jected to a chemical and miscroscopic
analysis by the Department of Health.
This is what the St. Regis guest
escapes when he breathes in an at
mosphere that has been specially
combed, washed and dried: Five bac
teria germs, of which three were com
mon bacteria; one an incipient tu
bercle bacillus, and one a common in
fluenza germ; three-quarters carbon
and several metallic and vegetable
particles, so fine as to be almost in
visible to the naked eye.—New "York
Times.
Hard on the Host.
James Brown Potter was talking
about absent-mindedness.
“Usually,”, he said, “the errors of
the absent-minded are merely ludi

ment or pain. The last time 1 was
abroad, though, I witnessed a piece
of absent-mindedness that was embar
rassing and painful to the last degree
“I wras dining in Oxford, and the
guest of honor was a Bishop. He was
old and mild and thoughtful, and 1
was not surprised to hear from my
neighbor that his head was continu
ally in the clouds and his thoughts
continually wandering.
“It seems that this Bishop had once
lived in the house of our host. Thai
fact, probably, was what caused him
to forget that he was dining out. As
the dinner, a rather poor one, drew
to a close he turne’d to his wife and
said:
“ ‘My dear, I am afraid we must
pronounce this cook another failure.’"
To the Point.
The late General Russell Hastings
served with distinction in the civil
war, and his war time reminiscences
were amusing.
He was describing one day a time
when the soldiers’ pay had been in
arrears.
“A young Westerner, full of brag
gadocio," he said, “walked up to his
captain during the temporary trouble,
saluted and said stern'y:
“ ‘Three words with you, cap.’
“‘Well?’ said the captain. ‘What
are they?'
“ ‘Money or discharge.’
“The captain smiled grimly.
“ ‘Four with you,’ he said.
“‘Well?’

Sharp. Retort by Opie Read.
Opic Read has just completed a
book, the continuation of his articles
for the Saturday Evening Post, en
titled “An American in New York,’
and the book has that title. A few
days ago a self-important individual,
whose name is not essential to this
story, remarked to Mr. Read:
“It is quite a coincidence that we
should have each written at the same
time our books of such titles as that
of yours, “An American in New
York,” and mine, “A Gentleman in
Society.”
“Yes,” Read replied. “But mine is
autobiographic.”
The other author looked funny and
those within earshot felt funny.

Absence of Snobbishness in Character

An intimate friend of Ruskin’s re
lates an incident illustrating that
simplicity, gentleness and sympathy
which were characteristic of his re
lations with the servants of his house

one evening, when during the meal,
as we were enjoying a rhubarb tart,
I happened to say that it was the

‘Please tell Jackson I want him.
When Jackson came into the room
his master said: ‘I am very pleased
to tell you, Jackson, that your first

delicious.’ When we had finished din

the sun had not yet gone down. After
placing the candles, she was about to

Across the Hills.
Across the hills
The mountains rise.
And kiss the raveled, blue-gowned skies;
The serried trees stand bare and bold.
Whera crimson leaves and yellow gold
Robe richly every bosky dell.
And Ceres sighing that her spell
Has ended, waves a long farewell.
Across the hills
The song birds flea
To Southland's newer Arcady;
The robin, bluebird and the thrush
Have left behind the woodland's hush
Like as the pensive, prayerful times.
When some cathedral’s sacred chimes
Have stilled to mem'ry-echoed rhymes.
Across the hills—
And do we know
The meaning of the splendid glow?
The autumn—is it understood.
That all is beautiful and good?
The Master bids us be of cheer.
His works in earth and sky appear
Across the hills—-and He is near.

After eighteen months’ suffering from
Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Com
plaint, Mr. W. H. Smith of this place
is a well man again and those who
have watched his return to health
unhesitatingly give all the credit to
Dodd s Kidney Pills. In an interview
regarding his cure, Mr. Smith says:
“I had been low for eighteen months
with my back and kidneys and also
Epilepsy. I had taken everything I
■ knew of, and nothing seemed to do
me any good till a friend of mine got
me to send for Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
I find that they are the greatest med
, icine in the world, for now I am able
to work and am in fact as stout and
strong as before I took sick.”
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid
neys. Cured Kidneys cleanse the
blood of all impurities. Pure blood
means good health.
Losses of Diamond Companies.
In spite of the strictest precautions,
the South African diamond companies,
it is estimated, lose over $2,000,000 a
year by the theft of precious stones.
Every housekeeper snould know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which be wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
•He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures ”16 ozs.” Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.
Perhaps He Couldn’t.
‘‘While lunching a few days ago
with a friend,” said Paul A. Bonwit,
"I mentioned that I understood a mu
tual friend was not drinking any
more, to which he replied: ‘No; may
be Jack isn’t drinking any more; but
I guess he is drinking about as much
as he ever did.”—New York Times.
