An emharrassment of kitchen supplies is almost as had as a scarcity. Manu- facturers are continually introducing :ooking utensils which flatter the housekeeper into the belief that it is not her own blundering or the stupidity of her cook, but the want of prOper tools, that has made her coffee flavor- less. or poetry e failure. or her syne- bub e liquid.

Indian bird heads, owl. and pheasant, and the plumage of these same birds are used with most charm- in;' effect. Flowers are going to be worn especially violets. They are seen in half wreaths or clusters. tucked un- der the rim or among the feathers and velvet rosettes. ‘ A variety of shapes. both large an! small. ar_e shown in millinery. Bird The Russian blouse is one of the most pOpular of the winter wraps, but there are blouses and blouses, and unless they are made just right they have more of the appearance of a shapeless bag than anything else. They should have a fit- ted lining to hold the blouse in shape. The more elaborate ones are made of black velvet and trimmed with fur, and passementerie. The collarettes, made of electric seal. astrakhan, coney, Per- sian lamb or any fur, are worn with the heavy, tailor-made suits and if one is the possessor of an old-fashioned fur cape they can have it remodeled into a very stylish collarette. Two or more varieties of fur are often used in the same wrap with very pleasing effect. They are made with a high storm collar reaching well up around the ears. Red is being worn a great deal as the win- ter advances. and many stylish jackets of bright and mahogany red are bor- dered with Persian lamb and have a storm collar of the same; either a scroll trimming of black braid on the sleeves or the sleeves are plain and the jacket boly covered wtih a trellis of braid forming squares.

They are not the little nar- row hands of ribbon,with floating ends ani diminutive bows. but majestic, long, sweeping. regal affairs. made of the richest materials and decorated in ev- ery conceivable manner. \Ve noticed one made of light blue satin duchesse. edged with blue chiffon ruffles, made of the material doubled. and the ends and girdle were trimmed with narrow garnet velvet ribbon, put on to form a lattice pattern. Sleeves while steadily diminishing in size are still a part in the decora- tive scheme of the costume. For street gowns they are braided or otherwise embellished. while for dressy toilettes they are shirred, tucked, ruffled or varâ€" iously decorated with applied trim- ming. Epaulets are often omitted. Col- lars are of abnormal height. Some of the neck decorations now on sale are fearfully and wonderfully made. Stocks of velvet having large bows at the front spreading ties and smart oravats of ivory satin or corded silk are all popu- lar. Odd hodices of silk plain or plaid. are popular for dressy wear. The sleeves and collar are of solid tucking in many of the newest, the waist portion being decorated at the yoke or front to cor- respond. ‘Vaists of light plaid silk, with skirts of plain cashmere or ladies’ cloth are strictly the thing.

WHAT TO WEAR. It is s perplexing question. Fashions are rapidly changing. plain skirts and large sleeves being nearly out of date. Skirts are shown in a variety of styles. the wide skirt. having a circular ruf- fle at ttx loot, varying in width from a few inch: to knee depth, is aleading (smite. as is also the scantily draped skirt.

Pour on the engraving boiling water from' a teakettle until the salt and lemon juice are all wash- ed off; the engraving should now be perfectly clean and free from stains; It must be dried gradually on' the board or some other smooth surface, being secured by drawing or other pins. If dried hy the tire or in the own. Our dress. and even our tables, must be regulated by the standards of others. We have not the courage nor the independence to be indifferent to the comment of our neighbors. This form of moral cowardice is causing many families to live beyond their in- comes. They can face debt, and forfeit their self-respect easier than they can face the unfavorable comment of their friends and neighbors. The extent to which this imitation of others is carâ€" ried would be ludicrous did it not bring so much unhappiness in its train. It is frequently the direct cause of the discord and discontent and debt that have driven happiness from the family hearth-stone. Let us have astanr‘ard of our own, based upon our own tastes, our own incomes, our own needs, and let us cheerfully an"! bravely adhere to this standard. heedless of that dreadful bughear. “What will the neighbors 3a; ’3“: Deny it as we will, few of us have the moral force to set up a standard of our own based upon our own incomes and our own particular home environment. We commit the folly of regulating our expenses by the income of some one else. If the Browns across the street hang up expensive lace curtains, we are discontented until lace curtains have gone up to our windows, no matter how much smaller our income may be than that of the Browns. It the Smiths put down a velvet carpet our neat and pretty ingrain becomes an eyesore to us. We are extremely mindful of what our neighbors will think about many things that ought not to concern them in the least. ‘We have no standards of our YOUR OWN STANDARD.

Have you got a recumbent position you can lend me to take some medicine in ? The nurse. who was equally as ignorâ€" ant as the old woman. replied: I .had one. but, to tell you the truth, I have lost it. ' At last she thought, I Wi‘ll go and see if N arse Town has got one to lend me. Accordingly she went and said to the old nurse: An old woman whose husband was not very well sent for a doctor. The doctor came and saw the old man. “When he was departing he said to the old woman. “I will send :him some medicine, which must be taken in a recumbent position.

The rem-dey is to study criminology. and draw the necessary practical lessons from it. It is a slow process, but must avail in the end. Meanwhile, there are causes for the increase of crime which can be removed without any special study. The loose administration of the laws in some portions of the country demands correction. \Vhen criminals feel safe in defying the courts, crime will always multiply. Slowness of pro- cedure is a potent force in making criminals. The remoteness of danger is with them almost equivalent to es- cape from penalty. Some of the laws. both federal and local. which were made with the best intentions. have failed of their purpose. and should be amend- ed in the interest of society. The rapâ€" id increase of crime is 'a temporary phenomenon which enlightened states- manship will gradually eliminate. The develorment of human imper- fections by education is merely an in- cident. The sound so greatly outnumâ€" her the unsound that the latter would Education and luxurious surround- ? ings beget longings which men will seek to Bratify. Those who are prOperly ed- ucated and prOperly balanced will seek ‘30 gratify their wishes in a legal and Draper manner only, but all persons are not prOperly educated, and many of the latter are 'not susceptible of that kind of education. There are per- sons in every community, be it cul- tured or primitive, whose minds are incapable of a broad moral view upon any matter. Unezlucated and uncul- tured, they pass their lives without damage or with very little damage to‘ the community and the state, but edu-1 cation and. culture may set in motion: their distorted moral sense, and makel them positive enemies of society. It would be ridiculous because of this to charge the increase of crime to the growth of education and culture. or to conclude that education should be restricted. The somewhat startling increase {I crime along with the spread offiiz- ation. and the alleged [fit the increase is largely amon duca- ted, has given rise to interefiing and useful discussion. Some have drawn conclusions unfavorable to the rowth of education , others have asc the rapid increase of crime to decadence of which they say it is most striking proof. and a few have gone to work to explain the ph omenon, and remove whatever angie it may have created in the public That there should be a greats iety of crimes in a highly civili m in a primi- tive commum es without saying. The tastes. fun ns and needs of the latter are u'ndeveIOped. and the temp- tation to commit a large number of crimes is wholly wanting. Greater Variety 0!

TOO MUCH FOR FAITH INCREASE IN CRIME. Although the murders StOpped, or at least diminished. the robberies and as- saults were as numerous as ever with- in e few weeks. The police were active. but as their efforts were more or less Lsporadic. the effect was hardly notice- able. The new Prefect. M. Blane. came into office about this time. He made a thorough investigation of the mat- ter. sending scores of disguised detec- tives into all the districts from which comvlainls came. With each new re- port from his detectives. the situation grew more alarming. Finally. he awak- ened to the fact that he had not to deal with e single band. of "desperados. but with an army of them rerfectly organized. and subdivided into com: an- ies of twenty or thirty. each command- ed by an experienced criminal. leis‘ army of‘ toughs formed a.

There was not a single newspaper commentary; appar- ently the news was taken as the most ordinary imaginable. est of the bandits. immediately went back to the normal rate and remained there. This fact, together with some disclosures. wrested from the less hard- ened members of the gang set the Pre- fect 9f Felice to thinking. The result and one which seemed to surprise the police exceedingly, was shortly remtrk- ed. The suicides. which had been main- tained at the high average of the early su‘mrriexiungil the very day of the ar- Contemporaneously with the finding of these bodies conu'laints began to come to the Prefect of the Seine rela- tive to depredations by a band of high- way robbers. who roamed the streets of Neuilly. Suresnes, Puteaux, Asni- eres and other suburbs of the city, robbing and maiming by day as well as by night. After nearly a hundred J0f these complaints had been filed the police started an investigation. \Vithin a week they were :t‘ule to find sizity1 person-s who had teen robbed by thisi band within an area of one square mile ‘ Inorth- of the Bois de Boulogne. Fifty lof these yersons had been injured so badly by bullets, knife wounds. and blows from sandbags and brass knuck- les that they were confined to bed in hospitals or at their homes A num- ber had fractured skulls. and of these several subsequently died.
