It Is astonishing how much thin mil'
tennis , such us voile , crepe , ctamlne
t and others of a like description , are
worn by well . dressed ! ; ! women lIming
the winter nowndays. Naturally this
does not apply to the tallor-mado cos
( limes , but last year the most elnbo
rate gowns of theRe fabrics were to be
seen under the handsome fur coat ,
and there Is every reason to suppose
that they will be more In vogue than
Q\'er. There Is a fancy , too-which Is
to he noticed In many of the now Paris
costumes and which will he equally
pronounced during the autumn months
-for the skirt composed of two
, flounces ( , each flounce being adorned
; with from three to five bands of vel
vet in graduated wilIths. The flounces
1. . are deep , the upper one reaches above
the knee , and this style of decoration
! Is naturally more adapted to dresses
or the material of which I have been
i ! . .peaklug that are sufficiently amena-
i ' ' .Jle ! to lend themselves to elaborate
i trimming.
A Serviceable Costume.
I Suits made with plaited skirts and
tourist coats are essentially new , essentially .

able model and Is adapted to all suit-
, Ings , but is shown lu dark blue che-

cloth and trimming of braid held by
handsome buttons. The coat Is one
, : or the newest and Is parOy- confined
' , Rt the back by means of a strap that
" extends from seam to seam , while the
I'
fronts are loose. The skirt Is nine
, gored and Is laid In plaits that conceal

Mayonnaise Sauce.
Put the yolk of a fresh egg In a bowl ,
and If the weather Is warm stand the
bowl In a pan of chipped - ice and add
half a. salt.spoonful of salt and a teaspoonful .
spoonful of English mustard. Begin
stirring the Ingredients with a box-
wood spoon. Stir continually always
one way , describing a circle. It Is
more easily done by holding the bowl ! 'I' ' '
stEad ' . After stirring about a minute
or till the Ingredients are well blended
begin adding the all , pouring It In drop
by drop. As soon as the mixture is
.stifr and waxy add a few drops of tar-
ragon vinegar and the same of lemon
juice. Then resume the oil , dropping
It steadily. Every time the mixture I
becomes too thick add a few drops of I
vinegar , but continue stirring. One :
yolk at an egg will stand the addition .
of a pint bottle of all. Stop using all
when the mayonnaise Is as thick as
you wish It and when you have all you
require for your ( 'fa 1ul.

A loose , three-quarter coat , belted
In across the back , exemplifies convenience -
nlence and smartness In autumn coats.

230 years before anthracite coal will

Ilntlcliatcs } ( some , increase In this di-
I'optlon III the next decade , after that
ho 1x)15 : for a marlcCll tendency to
l'cono'mlze the Hupply Ito ] ) notes the
interesting fact thllt , although the
production of anthracite flits not kept
pace with that of hltu11\lnous coal , It
has increased ( faster hint the IHJllIlla-
lion ( In the region where most or It Is
Cons11pu0d. In 1880 , he says , 1.R2 tons
of anthracite were produced for each
Inhabitant of lie ( anthracite using portion ) -

arc necessary. A Canadian has devised .
vised the very useful apparatus shown
In the Illustration. It Is designed for
the purpose of hoisting and putting
through windows In the upper stories
of buildings large , heavy and bulky
articles The apparatus is so con
structed that It can be set to communicate .
munlcate with the first , second and
third storIes of buildings and when
the work Is done it can be quickly
.taken down and compactly put together -
gether for transportation One of the
chief advantages Is that large articles
can be put through the windows , as
the parts take up little Slmce. Pianos
could he hoisted with little or no
strain to the instrument , with no dan-
gel' or scratches. It would also do
away with the trouble of getting up
narrow stairways and passing around
sharp corners. The article to be
hoisted is placed on the carrier , which
Is raised by the usual rope run over
pulleys and attached to a roller turn-
ed by a crank. Riggers could use this
apparatus to advantage , as could
also piano movers or movers of safes.

Building a Bedroom.
l\I. N.-I wish to build n bedroom
about fourteen feet by ton , to the' end
of u sitting room. It will be warmly
built of frame , and well , but not expensively -
pensively finished. It will contain one
window and there will bo no upstairs
over it. 1 would ho very much pleased
to obtain from you an estimate ot
what It would cost to build it In this
county.
It is difficult to give an estimate of
the cost of the addition to the house ,
as sufficient details are not given regarding -
garding the construction-whether the
roof is a gable or just a lean-to. Esti-
mating on 11 building ten by fourteen ,
eight feet high , with a lean.to root ,
with walls sheeted on outside with
inch lumber , then paper , and weather-
boarded , the addition should cost
about fifty-seven dollars , Including ma
son work.

Cement Curbing for Well.
S. D. M.-I am sinking a well and
have ' come to a running sand bottom
so that I cannot stone it up. Could
I make pipes or cement concrete and
put them down in sections ? How
. .
thick ] would they require to he and
how much cement would be needed ,
provided the inside diameter were
three feet ?
You can case your well with con-
crete tile as you describe but there
would be danger of the tile sinking in
the quicksand If the sand Is vbry bad.
Tile four inches thick would be suf-
cient. It would require about one.halt
barrel of Portland cement for a tile
three feet long. Very fine screened
gravel will make a better tile with
less cement than If Band were used.
Sand may be used , but It will require
more cement in doing so.
