Fashion’a Fancier-
Although passem'ente‘ries, Igalloons,
arabesqué trimmings, appliques, and
gimpsban never be called novelties as
far as mere names go, they neverthe-
less deserve the title regarding their
designs and combinations, and they
certainly never possessed the impor-
tance they have gained this year. Not
only do the latest-importations appear
in admirable imitation of ancient laces
and embroideries, but they are brought
out in a constant succession of new
and beautiful devices. One of the novel
patterns consists of a graduated set of
Persian arabesques designed for the
skirt bodice and sleeves. There are
also mural devices in shaded effects,
Gothic bands, Venetian and Vandyke
points of every width, palm leaves and
ferns which are wholly new in ar-
rangement and the effect and which
are disposed in various artistic ways
on evening toilets, day costumes, and
elegant small wraps, sometimes form-
ing one continuous design on the "skirt,
sometimes graduated in widths at the 1»
sides or set on separate in pieces en ap-
plique to resemble very closely shaded
silk embroideries wrought directly on
the gown. Ingenuity never rests, and
exquisite jewelled and sequined pieces
are made in special designs for the
girdle, rounded jacket fronts, yoke,
guimpe, marrow, or flaring Medici col-
lar, bretelles, sleeve cuff or puff, skirt
border, and falling chatelaine—each
design delicately shaded and massed to
avoid heaviness. . ., 3.
But Could She?
Beware of the wife who, as she kisses
you good-bye, slips a bit of paper into
your pocket, saying:—
“There’s a list of a few things I'd

Please don't overlook any of them.
It will only take you a few moments,
and I want all of them to-day. There's
a dear.”
Jenkins has such a wife.

j‘Yes, my dear: I’ll get them."
He gives himself ten minutes to catch
the train for home, and this is the
list:—
“Six lemons, a dozen oranges, yard

bottle of ipecacuanha, bundie‘ of celery,
bottle of vanilla extract, pound of a1-
monds, pound of moist sugar, yard of

for baby’s cough, card of .hooks and
eyes, figs, dates, yard of lace like sam-
ple, boot-laces for Johnnie, packet of
pins, piece of blue dress braid. and
something for baby."
He arrives home with two lemons
and an orange, and looks unutterable
things when Mrs. Jenkins says:—
“You didn’t have time to get the oth—
er things? Why, ,my dear, I could
have bought them all in ten minutes."

A Pretty Case,

a tonic.

NO VISITORS ALLOWED. ‘
The Hours Loot in a Factory if Employee
Are Stopped Four Minutes.
A distinguished Englishman, whose
writings are as widely read in this
country as they are in his, native land,
was shown through a. very large carpet
factory during a recent visit to New
York.
One of the features that puzzled the
visitor most was this notice, which was
posted at the entranCe to each of two
immense workrooms: “No visitors al-
lowed. Positively no exceptions made
to this rule." "Naturally the first
glimpse of this formidable prohibition
piqued the curiosity of the Englishman,
and he experienced a. glow of flattered
pride when the door was flung open at
his approach, and he was invited to en-
ter the interdic-ted region.
’ The entrance of the/visitors caused a
temporary .lull in the hum of industry,
and several hundred pairs of eyes were
turned inquiringly upon the newcom—
ers. ‘ ' .
After emerging frOm this uninterest-
ing quarter, the Englishman inquired:
"Why so _much secrecy about that
room? ‘No visitors allowed‘,’ etc. It
did not appear to me’ that there was
anything there that anybody would
care to see.’
The propreitor of the factory smiled,
as he replied: “There is no secrecy
there.
“It is one of our ordinary workroo-ms,
and the prohibition of visitors is'simply
a time-saving precaution. As a rule,
we are obliged to rush things cons-tant-
l-y in order to keep‘up with our orders.
Every hour counts, and, of course, we
must be careful about losing time.
Every time that a stranger 'steps in a
workroom of that character the opera-
tives are bound to look at him and
keep watch of his movements. Their
minds are diverted, and naturally their
hands fail to, do their work properly.
For every ten minutes that. the stran-
ger remains in the room each opera-
tive will lose at least four minutes of
time. That is a.‘ low estimate. There
are about 260 operatives .on this floor.
Take four minutes time away from
each one’s work and you see that the
firm loses four times .260 minuteswhich
is .1,040Iminutes or more than seventeen
hours. In these hurry times We can't
stand it often. But I do not consider
the time consumed by your visit as
wasted, for in the course of your liter-
ary work you will doubtless make good
use of the le‘sson."-—_New York Times.

I' GHURKAS AS FIGHTERS.
.When Once Bis Officers Gain His Respect
He Will Follow Them Anywhere.
. The average “monkey-man of the
Himalayas” is by no means a type of
beauty. A short body, little legs, round
head, and flat features are a few of his
prominent physical characteristics; and
being for a long period clothed in one
of the ugliest uniforms the genius of
man ever invented he could not com-
pete in picturesqu-eness with the fine
physiqueand carriage of the handsome
Sikhs Pantha-ns or Rayputs. But, in
spite of. his unprep-ossessing appear-
ance, once let his officers gain his re-
spect, and he is ready to follow themI
.with dog-like fidelity. to “go anywhere,
and do anything,” to use a hackneyed
phrase: and these qualities which com-
mend themselves to a Ghurka are the
same as those which serve to endear
an officer to the British private. In-
deed, the devotion, courage, energy of
character, and love of enterprise of
these formidable but merry little war-
riors are sach that the writer of a re-
cent article on the native army gives
expression to his conviction that “there
is not a. single instance‘on record of
I Ghurka soldiers having failed in their
duty against an enemy.”——Pall .IMall

Slave Owned by a City.
Salem, 3. colored man of Nashville,

an ex-slave who belonged-to a munici-

the city of Nashville, 'and sirlce that
time, for the period of seventy-three
years, has been its faithful servant.
He worked for the city forty-one years
as a slave and thirty-three years as a
free man. The old man is now 103 years
of age—Nashville American.‘

_.. The-Plain Tennyson-t. “
Notwithstanding the fact that all
sorts of skirt decorations, draperies,
' overskirts, and cverskirt effects pro-
duced by various methods of arranging
frills, ribbons, and pipings are being
developed, there are very many fash-
ionable women who see no beauty or
desirability in all the complicated “g~in~
gerbread work” now so much the rage,
and are determinedly adhering to the
simple, graceful effects of the plain,
perfectly hung, silk-lined tailor skirt.
This idea of elaborate skirt decorating
was about the only essentially novel
characteristic of new spring and sum-
mer fashions. This decision is, of course,
not universal, and, for many light,
airy summer fabrics, frills and flounces
and lace-edged'furbelows are very ap-
propriate and effective. The most suc-
cessful gown, however, like. the mast
attractive home. is the one best suited
to the fair one who owns it, having al-
ways something of her individuality in
its ensemble and characteristics of her '
self in its pretty details and minor ef
fects.

" Made of Champagne CorkI. _
At a London club there is the. most
unique pair of curtains in. existence.
This portiere is formed of hundreds
of champagne corks, taken from every
known brand of champagne, each of
which bears the tin top which adorn-
ed it when the cork was in its parent
bottle. The cerks are made into strings.
.there being sixty of them to each
string. Between every cork there are
three big Chinese beads of turquoise--
blue.
The corks are tied to a white en-
smelled pole, with fancy ends, and big
sashes of blue ribbon adorh the brass
knobs. The total effect is distinctly
pretty.
What makes this unique portiere
doubly valuable is the fact that each
cork bears the autograph of a famous.
actor or actress of the present day.
