These honest men are mot tramps or even mendi- cants in the eye of the law. Idle vikingmen offer an entirely different lem in sociel economics, and this of men is absolved from the com- mon opprobrium attached to the pro- fessisaal tramp. ie tramps have heen greatly re- d in New England and there is net ore mow where there used to be score he a quarter of A century ago. tegulations which make them earn b have made them steer clear { this part of the country, IT DOES NOT PAY TO STAND AND LOOK.

Nearly every woman nowadays cher- isiies a Japanese gown for house wear without ~ realizing how interesting a garment it is. I'rom the middle of the sixteenth century they began to in- crease in length and cspecially those for voung ladies have extended till now they are from three to four feet. This style, known as furisode, became very fashionabl The width of the obi, or sash, has algo varied, at first from two and a half to three and a half inches, and to seven, eight and nines inches. It is interesting to note thatour own new fashions in sleeves and sashes ginated among the common people Japan, and from them were finally upper classes. Th of adopted by the young ladies of the Samuri class were the first to follow the popular styles in this respect. and the higher classes began to follow suit, and now these fashions prevail evervihere. It is only from about the middle of the seventh century that the women of the lower classes began to wear the long haori, or overcoat, at present so common_among all classes of both sexes, This garment was originally a duster worn by men to protct their clothes when outdoors, and was then called dofuku, or travelink coat. Finally they came to be worn in- doors, and the women adopted the gar ment, The upper classes in time fol- lowed the same custom, and now the haori is an indispensable part of the clothing to be worn on formal occa- sions, even in summer. MOTOR BONNETS. New motor bonnets are made up en- i of wide and narrow plaited These are put on a thin gause foundation which 1is stiffened with wire. The frills are often made or black and white ribbon and held in place around the middle of the bonnet by a two-inch band of black velvet. Green is a favorite color for summer and stone gray has proved a Service- able one. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. The suse of an excess of benzoin will cause wrinkles, Bathing the eyes in a solution of bo- racic acid keeps them bright and free from inflammation. For sunburn use cloths wet in sat- urated soda and soft powders like flour, laundry starch or cornstarch, dusted on. A tonic made of four ounces of al- cohol and half an ounce of tin-ture of belladonna is excellent for perspiring hands.

By throwng the feet into an exag- gerated position it weakens muscle control, and for women with weak ankles this means certain breakage or sprain. i It may make the foot look smaller, daintier, but it forces such a minc- ing, toppling walk that no one admires it. Oculists say that the French heel is hard on the optic nerve, as it forces the body into an unnatural position and often disturbs the focus of the eve: The extreme heel of this tiype dis- places the center of gravity and throws the weight on,the union of the instep ith the toes, the part of the foot which is least suited to weight bear- ing. Girls with weak backs have often been cured by getting sensible shoes, as the strain of tilting forward catches one just below . the waistline. Since anything more than ambling is impossible with French heels, the general health suffers from lack of ex- ercise, and with it goes vivid coloring, bright eves and lustrous hai If the revival is not dreaded from a health standpoint the vain girl should so slow from a beauty standpoint. The French heel, throwing pressure on the ball of the Toot and keeping it tltere, lowers the arch of the foot and broad- ens it. THE DINING TABLE. Renovating the dining room table is sometimes ont of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. There are num- erous accidents that are bound to hap- pen to this object in question, more so even than any other piece of furniture in the housei consequently it is well to know just what to have on hand. Nothing looks worse than a table set for luncheon with doilies and center piece, and to have showing in between the large white spots caused by heat or alcohol. The varnish is often ta en completely from the wood, and in cases the table must be sent to a professional for repair. But in many s the simple home devices will be found satisfactory If not deep, heat stains may be re- moved by rubbing with hot milk, while kerosene oil, or turpentine, has often been found satisfactory in removing stains of this kind. Sieet oil or lin- seed oil will remove alcohol stains if applied at once. If dry rub with kero- alcohol mixed. Grease stains can be removed with soap and warm water. Skirt Pads, Some dressmakers frequently have great difficulty in making skirts cut with the raised waist line hang straight in front at the line of the nor- mal waist. At this point the skirt breaks and is apt to show an ugly wrinkle, especial- Iy when the wearer is seated. This can be avoided by making a small oblong pad of the same material as the skirt and inserting it directly in front. The pad is mage four inches jtilled white vinegar, diluted in water, lengthwise with the skift.. It can be tacked in place. = Matting Rugs. When purchasing matting get sev- eral yards extra, with which to make summer rugs. You can get this extra plece into desired lengths and finish them neatly on the . edges by pullin out the straws to the depth of several inches and tying up the threads. ‘These rugs protect the floor covering quite as well as heavier ones and have the advantage of being without fuzz and easily cleaned. ® Cleaning Wool Cloth. To revive the appearance of a suit that is becoming so worn as to be shiny in certain spots, a bit of dis-- rupbed on with a white woolen cloth, will raise the nap and give it a look of newness that will make the suit of good ‘service for some weeks more. Thig is a good hint to take advantage of, for it can save one additional ex- pense, especially when wanting to tide over into the next season, when a heavier or lighter cloth is more ap- propriate. = | School Time Plans. 1f a child is to be sent away to school. whether it be to college or boarding school, plans should be made long ahead to attend to the little ac- cessories which pertain to the neces- sary outfit. The full name of the child should be marked upon every article belonging to him. This may either be written in indelible ink, or tape with the name embroidered in fuil may be ordered in any department store. which can be easily sewed on a garment. A little medicine chest with simple remedies should be supplied in case of emergency (a good disinfectant for, cuts and bruises, talcum powder for ALL WEEK s Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ‘The P&gli Players Belasco’s Picturesque Western Drama, The Girl ggs Golden West One of the largest and most expensive productions ever seen in stock here, Night Prices, 15-25-35-50c.

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using a “sage {ea.” Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appearance they made a b of sage leaves and applied it to their hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays we don’t have to resort to old-time, tiresome methods of gather- ing the heros and making the tea.
