IN THE JAPANESE STYLE Excellent Suggestion for Linen Show er That Will Be Out of the Ordi nary—For Place Cards. A charming idea tor a linen shower Is to carry it out in Japanese fashion with the colors of the cherry blossom as the decorative scheme. It the luncheon is designed, darken the room and hang numbers of Chi nese lanterns about. These may be suspended from red and green cords festooned around the walls, a^d can dles for the table may be in green, with the rosy color for the shades. I Carnations, or uetter still the cherry blossoms themselves, so beautifully j made now in paper, can be the flower, and placing some of the branches in crystal bowls and vases, just a few in each, gives a pretty effect. Tall screens covered with the blossoms may be placed about wherever most effective, forming alcoves and cozy corners. Have the parcels of linen wrapped in rose paper and tied with green rib bons. A girl friend wearing a kimono in the two colors may bring in the ; packages, banding them to the bride to-be, or placing them on a large tray ready for the purpose, where the laughing recipient may open and dis j play the contents to those present, ] Place carSC may be tiny fans with i Japanese heads pasted on them. Large Rug Muffs Eclipse Owners. Some of the stoics and muffs that i are being carried on cold days are so huge that they fairly eclipse a slip of a girl entirely. With the skirt and , coat made as slim as the physical pro | portion of a slender girl can stand | and then the addition of huge neck . piece and muff, to say nothing of an all-eclipsing hat, a girl is completely , lost. Twenty years ago she could never have carried the big muffs and neckpieces made of long-haired furs that are fashionable now without bending under their weight But the furrier has looked out for that, and the biggest muff weighs scarcely as j much now as the little old-timer did. One thing is practical about these I giant muffs. No one's arms are going to suffer with cold while they have such a shelter. The best of. these j muffs completely envelop the arms to i the elbows, and the muff itself covers i the lap like a robe. MADE C- SEAL PLUSH. A genuine sealskin coat Is hand some. no matter how shapeless tt is, but the seal plush coat must be fault less antkclegant in line to possess distinction. This coat is exceedingly smart and graceful, though the ma terial is the comparatively inexpen sive brown seal plush and the collar and cuffs are of oppossum—also an in expensive fur. Like ail these coats, this model closes far over toward the left hip and is quite straight from hip to ankle. White Gaiters Are Worn. The woman who has pumps and does not wish to get high shoes until late in the winter can now use her cloth gaiters and be very much in style. White ones are quite the fash ion and their rivals are pearl -gray. These are worn with the black shoes with all kinds of gowns that are short and for the street. Citsyenne Jumpers. * The persistency with which the Mt ! tie basque effects shown in the peplums and trills to be used outside | of the skirt have been brought to the i front indicates that they have taken ! quite a rtroog hold. Jumpers are now | brought out with this frill finish and are usually made of messallne or soft finished silk. They are cut on sur plice lines, the model underneath ap pearing uncovered to the waist line 1 both back and front. The edges are finished off with a narrow putfing.— Dry Goods Economist. Home-Made Dress Box. There are shirt waist boxes galore. | innumerable cress chests and many Improvised receptacles for us in the woman's room, but the latest novelty is the resuit of an ingenious brain, which conceived the possibilities of having a dress box. full length, to I match the hardwood floor in her ] room. A cheap frame was constructed of pine, lined throughout with white ofl c'o*K the *uge g'.r.ed cn the outside. Vbi, >...s linoleum, * clever imitation of oak. in two shades. It was glued to the outside and the raw edges were covered with tan leather strips, held in place with brass studs. The hinges and lock were of brass. Two stout straps were tacked to the inside of the lid. mak ing a good receptacle for holding two parasols. Ball-bearing casters com pleted the dress box. and the owner paid much less for this treasure than a fancy cne would cost at any store. ___ No Race Prejudice. "Very few railroad stations In the ; country show as much consideration ; for colored women traveling alone as i the New York stations." said a worn- ■ an traveler. "Ijke other stations, their waiting- j rooms contain framed placards giving I the addresses of homes and associa tions where strangers in the city may apply for temporary accommoda tion. but usually these homes are for white people only. The New York stations, with a fine disregard of race prejudice, also display, in a conspicu ous place, the address of the colored mission in West Thirty-sixth street." PULLED IN DIFFERENT WAYS Ordinary Man on the Street Some v'hat Puzzled by Seeming Busi ness Contradictions. “Life is full of contradictions.” “Yes?” “For instance, about six months ago a life insurance agent got after me, and hounded me nearly to death. I told him at the start that 1 had all the Insurance I was able to carry, but he kept right on trying to persuade me that 1 needed more and. finally, in sheer desperation. 1 consented to take our another policy. Then the com pany’s doctor began trying in every way he could think of to make it im possible for me to get the insurance. He acted as if I was voluntarily try ing to beat the company in some way. and when I failed to pass the examina tion both he and the agent appeared to think I had wronged them by taking up their time." “That’s nearly as bad as my case. Several months ago representatives of a piano house got after me for the pur pose of persuading me to buy a piano on the installment plan. Just to get rid of them I at last agreed to buy. Now they’ve got a corps of men out trying to dig up proof that I never could or would pay for the piano if they were to let n:e have it. Business is a great thing.” ALMOST FRANTIC WITH ITCHING ECZEMA “Eight years ago I got eczema all over my hands. My fingers fairly bled and it itched until it almost drove me frantic. The eruption began with itching under the skin. It spread fast from between the fingers aronnd the nails and all over the whole hands. 1 got a pair of rubber gloves in order to wash dishes. Then it spread all over the left side of my chest. A fine doc tor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then I decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as 1 had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured. The Cuticura Soap we have always kept in our home, and we decided after that iesson that it is a cheap soap in price and the very best in quality. My husband will use no other soap in his shaving mug." (Signed) Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redonda Beach, Cal., Jan. 15, 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by drug gists and dealers everywhere, a sam ple of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura,” Dept. 24 K, Boston. Young, but Oh. My! The lawyer was sitting at his desk, absorbed ;n the preparation oi a brief. So bent was he on his work that he did not hear the door as it was push ed gently opeu, nor see the curly head that was thrust into his office. A lit tle sob attracted his notice, and turn ing. ho saw his face that was streaked with tears, and told plainly that his feelings had been hurt. “Well, my little man, did you want to see me?" "Are you a lawyer?" "Yes. What is it you want?" “I want—" and there was a resolute ring in his voice—"I want a divorce from my papa and mamma!" Gentle Correction Needed.

Jones Admitted It. Jones and Brow n argued as they al ways did when they had time enough. They had dined together, and as Jones lived at a distance and it was very late Brown offered to put him up for the night On the way home they fell to dis cussing the strategy of the Civil war as indicated by the campaigns of Bee and Grant. The topic was elastic enough to keep them going for half an hour, and ,~hed its height as they neared the Brown house. Then Brown lest his temper. “Jones," said he. "if you don’t admit that Grant was a greater general than Bee, you can't sleep here.” It was then two o'clock in the morn ing, and Jones was eight miles from home.—Chicago Post. How He Found Out. | "Mr. Chairman," shouted one of the j delegates to the convention. "1 move , that the nominating speeches be lim ■ ited to one minute each!" "Second the motion!” yelled a dozen others. A storm of protest arose, but the 1 chairman put the motion. It was lost by a vote of 47 to 45. “I merely wished to find out, Mr. | Chairman,” explained the delegate who had made the motion, "how many vnbitious orators there are in this 1 convention. There are forty-seven.” Think of It! Two brothers, each of whom is near j ly six feet and a half tall, were one day introduced by an acquaintance to a young lady. As she sat gazing up at the pair of giants in wonder and awe. she exclaimed: "Great heavens! Suppose there had been only one of you!" Probably.

METHOD OF KEEPING YOUNG Remarkably Sound Advice for the Woman Who Has Some Years of Life to Her Credit. Tbe way to ward off old age is not to fear it, not to allow one's self to be oppressed by the dread of advan cing years. Use only legitimate pre ventives and avoid trying experiments with preparations not indorsed by I physicians. Do not wear toilettes in j tended for young girls, they only add years to the appearance. Keep up your interest in the young, but do not envy them. Retire with dignity from i the struggle, do not pose as your daughter's rival. Above all, surround ; your life with sweet, true affections j which prevent the Heart from growing ! bitter. Do not lose interest in tbe j growing events of the day; do not fall I behind the times and do not harp on other and better days. To those who come to you for advice be always kind and sympathetic. As you advance in years preserve carefully your personal appearance, for once lost it may not be regained save by strenuous effort. Your costumes should be simple and unpretentious, yet graceful. These rules, carefully and sensibly followed, will keep you young and attractive.— Exchange. CREAM OF RYE For health and energy eat it for breakfast. Reduces cost of living.
