THE "SNOW MBF IN HER ARCTIC DRESS Tunic Effects iii Skirts. It is rumored that tunic effects in ekirts are to appear with the first mel ancholy days. In fact, some- ultra smart women are wearing them nowj. ;The bell-shaped tunics, short at the sides and arranged oyer a - plain or flounced skirt, are the most attractive, Other tunic models have a square apron effect slashed up at the sides, and for stout figures this style is best, giving long lines. If you think of having a woolen street gown made now, be sure that the skirt is cut in a modified bell or umbrella shape. Women at the liar. One of the graduates of the Law School of Boston University at its re cent ccmmencement was Miss Edith W. Peck, a young woman of social prominence in Cincinnati. Ohioj It is said that she will enter, the law office of her father, who is a judge, and at tend to a general office practice. An other woman to enter the profession of law is Miss Anne Grace Kennedy, a graduate of the Baltimore Law School and the second woman to receive the degree of bachelor of laws in Mart- land. She received in addition to this degree two medals, one for the best thesis and the other for being the high est grade student in the senior class. Is Modern Courtshln Quick An American lady has discovered that courtship is a swifter business than of old. This does not result, as you might suppose, from the increas ing "hustle" of these haDDv davs nor from the higher speed of the maidens or liKJo. In olden days: whm th lovers "stole a word or two between the pauses of a Mninute.'r things dragged. Now that a "couple can goit aJi day undisturbed by a chap eron if a man doesn't make record time" in courtship, why, blame the man. This is all very well But in the days of the minuet they coma, it we believe the romancers, put on the pace. Mistress Lydia Lan- guisn would meet Mr. Roderick Ban- aom for the first time at tea, and be on, to Gretna Green before supper Golf is not In it. ' "What She Einbroiaers. Linen buttons.

Cultivating the Graces. keeping up appearances may be con sidered vulgar, but within ' rightful limits it indicates a prime essential to successful attainment (In the mat ter of behavior, if one wishes to ap pear graceful andamiable she perforce makes an effort not only, to seem but to be amiable and graceful.

Indianapolis News. - The Ideal Guest. It has been said that women may be divided into two classes, that of the "born hostess" and that of the "born guest," and that neither' fits into the other's role with any degree of success! There is one charming woman who is Known among ner friends as "I. G.." which mysterious appellation stands for "Ideal Guest!" It is so silly! And one can be a perfect guest if she only tries. All you have to do is to be pleased with your entertainment, and try to help your hostess make things agreeable for others. Yes, I do visit a great deal, and I make it an inviol able rule never to repeat In one house ;what I have seen or heard in another." It is very modest and quite proper that 'the "Ideal Guest'' should thus make light of her qualifications. - Those of us, however, who have a faculty for observation know of other require ments ot fthe character ' she has not .named. The "Ideal ' Guest," fot. irj- tna:ehia& thee ot'iier roomas' easy for the maid as possible. ' When she leaves it in the moraine the bed is stripped and the mattress turned to the air. When she leaves it for din ner or supper in the evening, all her own belongings are carefully nut awav in closet or drawers, thus making no picking up" after her work which is wearing to the maid and which takes much time. The "I. G." also re members at noon, or when the guest room has the most blaze of sunlight. to close the blinds or drop the awnings, thus helping to keep iresh her hostess' dainty furnishings. Harper's Bazar. The Business Woman's Problems. Why the woman who works for a living is usually more nervous and in less exuberant health generally than the man who works, has been a matter for much discussion in clubs and news papers, and without any satisfactory verdict having been reached, but there are those who do not find, it hard to understand the phenomenon. The man who works usually does one sort of work. He is a physician, a law yer, or a clerk, and when he has closed his office door for the day, if he is a sensible man, he puts in the remainder of the time enjoying himself in what ever way best suits him. And the woman jwho works well, she is usually jack :of a dozen trades and master of none. When she comes home fropa her office it occurs to her that there are a half a dozen pairs of stockings to be darned and she sets to work forthwith on this nerve-tearing work. When the stock ings are finished, she Is just as likely as not to sew on the lace that the laundress has ripped off a skirt, and she goes to bed with her head aching and absolutely unrefreshed. In the morning she remembers that there aVe a dozen little lace collars to be laundered for they were much too fragile' to go; in the general laundry, and that afternoon she gives over to the "doing-up" of these troublesome little things, jadding a couple of white belts, three pairs of white gloves and a veil to the! pile. When she (has finished with these, her back is aching, and she is glad to lie down and read by the light of a distant and dim gas jet the afternoon newspaper, thereby bringing on the ills that come from eye s ftain. She discovers the next afternoon that her hair needs washing, and she spends a good two hours at this hard work. She doesn't feel that she can afford the seventy-five cents or $1 that a hair dresser would charge her for this ser vice, and which the latter can do much better, than she can do it herself, and so she expends strength that is worth more to her than money, in half-doing this work. She manicures her own nails when she should be taking a nap, and makes shirt waists when she should be exer cising in the open. She makes cara mels by way of fun, and fusses over them until she herself admits that she is "half-dead." She finds things for herself to do that really needn't be done, and by the end of the summer she is a limp and nerve-racked rag. "But I have to keep nice," she wails, "and I cannot afford to hire some on to do my mending and to groom my hair and nails P' It is, indeed, a problem how the busi ness woman shall manage, but, never theless, these are some of the reasons why she who works for a living is usually a thin and anaemic person, who looks haggard and old before her time. Baltimore News. Widespread is the fad for so-called odd jewelry. Pique collars and cuffs are a fea ture of all summer frocks. Trimmings lead off with quillings of the same silks as the gowns. Chiffon taffeta and chiffon cloth Exquisitely embroidered imnorted blouses attract one's attention at every side. The pattern or robe gown, as it is called, helps to make life easier by far this season. Dull gold gallons of various widths are much used in combinatoins with a brilliant color.1 The modified leg-o'-mutton sleeve is the favorite sleeve, says the Philadel phia Bulletin. Under lingerie hats the hair will be seen to. be garnished with pert butter fly bo Ws of; crisp silk. Of the making of collars, chemi settes and cuffs, as well as under sleeves, there is indeed no end. Using different linings make a lot of variety in embroidered dresses, for the effect is quite different with each color. By that silent agreement which is fashion's Marconi system, every well dressed, woman, it seems, has ordered one or more black costumes. Sereral new kinds of pleated bind ings and ruchhigs are shown; among these- is one designed to take the place of a neekfcani" with - a two-inch and a half frill helfvw, to lie flat, around the :tjroa?ris ""' ' MARIE AHNIGHITO PEARY, DAU ER, COMMANDER THE PRIMITIVE OBSERVATORY OF JEYPORE. Jeypore is the pleasant, healthy capi tal of one of the most prosperous in dependent States of Rajputana, India, and is a very busy and important commercial town, with large banks and other trading establishments. It is a centre5 of native manufactures, es pecially those of many kinds of jew elry and of colored printed cloths and muslins. The enameled work done here is the best in India, and the cut ting and setting of garnets and other stones found in the State is a large branch of industry. The crowded streets and bazars are most lively and picturesque. It is laid out in rectan gular blocks, and is divided by cross streets into six equal portions. The main streets are 111 feet wide and are paved, and the city is lighted by gas. The Maharaja's palace occupies the centre of the city, which has a popu- ation of about 143,000. In JeypOre is the famous Jautra or Observatory, the largest of the five built by the celebrated royal astrono mer, Jey Sing, the founder of Jey pore, who succeeded the Rajas of Am ber in 1G93. Chosen by Muhammad Shah to reform the calendar, his as tronomical observations were formu- ated in tables which corrected those of De la Hire. He built live observa toriesat Delhi, Benares, Muttra. Ujjain and Jeypore. The observatory at Jeypore is the largest of the five. THE OBSERVATORY AT JEYPORE, INDIA, BUILT BY JEY SING ABOUT 1693. It is not under cover, but is an open courtyard full of curious and fantastic instruments invented and designed by him. They have been allowed to go out of repair, and many of them are now quite useless, it being impossible even to guess what purpose they served in the wonderfully accurate calculations and observations of their inventor, but the dial, gnomons, quad rants, etc., still remain of great inter est to astronomers, and the Observa tory at Jeypore is one of the places which is always yisited .by tourists. Scientific American. An epidemic of lnels. There would appear to have been an epidemic of duelling in the State of Mississippi on aurecent Thursday. There were six duels and four of the combatants were killed outright or fatally wounded. London Chronicle. Cure For SMiekeitB' A home-coming passenger on one of the big steamships of the Atlantic ferry says: "The second day out I saw scores .of people wearing a bandage over one eye as they walked up and down the deck. It struck me as being worthy of investigation, so I appealed to the surgeon. He informed me that the fleet physician had learned that seasickness is a nervous malady pro duced by seeing the motion of objects on board ship. The remedy is to band age one eyei which has the effect of GHTER ct kjv inn, 1'uij.it wxrhuit- PEARY. A FOLDING HORN. A megaphone to be effective at any distance has to be made of such large proportions that it is about as incon venient to carry as a bass viol, and this FOLDING MEGAPHONE. inconvenience of transportation has uoiie muc-n to prevent the more general use of the instrument. Even in the smaller sizes a megaphone is a partic ularly clumsy and conspicuous object, so that the idea of a Cleveland inventor of furnishing such devices in collapsi ble form has many meritorious fea tures. He proposes manufacturing tt e trumpets from a blank of any flexible material having parallel side edges and an outwardly curved edge at the op posite end of suoh shape and curvature that when folded upon itself a cone of ivsual shape is produced. When not desired for use as a megaphone the sheet of flexible material may be rolled up into a small cylinder, resembling a music roll, that can readily be carried in the hand without attracting atten tion, or that can be stowed away in a suit case or grip. Of course there are eyelets and buttons or clasps at proper points to hold tie trumpet in shape when in use as such. ; The so-called briar pipe is not made of briar at all, but from the root of a particular kind of heather. altering the focus, slxyyeercent. of fifty cases treated were relieved in from six to twenty -four hours." Romance of Immigration. The pleasantest Ellis Island report of the year is that of the 223 marriages which took place at the station in the six mounths ending June 30. This is a gain of twenty -three over the corre sponding period of last year. The brides were girls whose lovers had come across first to prepare the way for them. New York World. - . VAIJT a.iivi.v, ux'i, uuuuj v casions for which nothing is quite so well suited as the fitted coat. This one is severe in style and has all the smart ness which comes from such cut while it is absolutely becoming to girlish V LATS peSlGK figures and quite simple. In the illus tration the material is white serge stitched with belding silk, but while it is in every way to be desired for the immediate season, the model will also be found available for the autumn and for every fashionable suiting as weli as for general wear. The coat is made with fronts, backs and under-arm gores and is absolutely plain. At the neck are regulation col lar and lapels, and the closing is made invisibly by means of a fly. The sleeves are the accepted ones that are full at the shoulders and narrow at the wrists. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and a half yards of material twaty-seven, two and a quarter yards forty-four or one and three-quarter yards fifty-two inches wide. O-rerskirts to Be Worn. There is every prospect that' we shall be wearing overskirts within the com ing year. The tunic skirt is being boomed by the dressmakers, and since many women have taken kindly to the innovation, its success Is fairly weli assured. The style is very becomins to tall figures, but is not at all a happy one for short or stout women. Use Great Care in.. Selecting. With short skirts invading the ranks pf almost every style of dress, a mis take often committed !s that of hav ing every skirt iiv your wardrobe short, instead of h&fing ah occasional long one for high days and holidays. And another mistake jeven more -encountered is the wearing fit several tailored skirts rrith exquisitely embroidered blouses, the excuse .being that they are both white, and so should be all right. They are not all right, by a great deal. Short skirts belong, by the Tery nature X'rt-rrr "Ww.l- rl-wr T"1 Vi oiui mnfmr' nr y Tacked Blouse Waist. The blouse waist continues, and will continue, to be the favorite of the fash ionable world, and seems to know no limit to its variety. Illustrated is one of the newest that can be utilized both; for wash materials and for silks and wools, and which allows of many va nations in the trimming. In this in stance white linen is combined with; handsome embroidery and the waist is unlined,-but the trimming can be lace or banding ol any sort that may, be preferred, while the fitted lining will be found desirable for silk and wool materials. The waist consists of the fitted lin ing, which is closed at the front, the fronts and the back. The tucks are so arranged as to give tapering lines to the figure at the back and to provide becoming fulness at the front while the closing of the waist is made invisi bly beneath the edge of the right front.-" The sleeves are the favorite ones which form generous puffs above smoothly, fitted lower portions. There is a j regu lation stock which can be worn with a tie and a turn-over, as in this instance, or be made to match the trimming as preferred. BY May wahtoh.

White to Be Popular. White, the trade journals say, will be more popular next year than it has been this or previous seasons. The buyer will, therefore, take every ad vantage' of white sales in the shops.
