A tfußH'ii'* Hotel ( ompanv.
The Women’s Hotel Company of
\cw York City has bought land near
Madison avenue and East Twenty
ninth street, and plans for a building
larce enough to accommodate 500 wom
en “are now being drawn. It. is said
that subscriptions to the enterprise
amounting to $300,000 have been se
cured already- The object of the ho
tel is to furnish comfortable quarters
for business women similar m style
to the various bachelor apartment
houses that, are becoming so nu
merous.
A Spring Hat r So.
One of the most striking hats shown
is a large Leghorn converted al
most into the -< coal scuttle bonnet of
50 years ago by the straps of green
velvet that held the back close to the
crown, which was encircled by a green
velvet band. A large scarf of white
chiffon, flower painted in colors is
draped over and under the wide brim
in the front, and a superb white os
trich plume completes the picturesque
effect.
A white turban of the new and love
ly fancy gauze and straw mixture is
trimmed with a profusion of tiny pink
roses, hardly larger than ’an English
daisy. These are arranged in loops
and dusters, with white tulle. The side
is caught up over a bandeau on which
is a bow of black velvet.

Different beits and sashes also help
to make up a wardrobe at little ex
pense. With a black gown it is pos
sible to ring the changes for an in
definite length of time by having
broad belts or narrow belts, colored
chiffon sashes or fancy ribbon sashes
with fringed ends. A black silk gown
was in former years considered neces
sary to every woman’s comfort and
peace of mind; fortunately the fash
ion has returned again, and very much
the same rule can be carried cut as in
the white lining. A skirt with a fitted
top and very flaring flounce or flounces
will serve to wear with the figured
black nets without lining, the embroid
ered muslins or chiffons, while the
waists can be worn under smart bo
leros with false fronts, or even with
a cloth waist and a .cloth overskirt. —

Tlie Proper Gloves.
Glace kid, buttoned gloves are the
correct ones for church- with two or
four buttons and of white or a light
tan. If tan, a heavier kid is used, and
one -or two buttons are sufficient —in
fact, a regular heavy walking glove is
the smartest. Many women always
cling to a suede glove of the mouse
quetaire style with two buttons only.
These ;are of a lighter shade of color
than the gown or of Mack. Of course,
this does not refer to a red or a green
or a blue gown—simply to the brown or
gray. A white suede glove is absolute
ly inappropriate, however.
So much depends upon the lining of
the muff sees to what gloves ean be
worn from a practical point of view
that it is as well to buy one with refer
ence to the other. The present fash
ion of the white lining or the fur lining
for the very rich fur muffs makes it
possible to wear white or light gloves,
whereas the dark linings so scon soil
the gloves that it is generally silly to
follow slavishly the fashion of wear
ing white glove*, especially if econ
omy has to be consulted.
As the church costume is emphatic
ally a walking costume, heavy walking
boots or boots of kid and patent
leather are correct The fancy dress
boot or shoe is not then sensible or in
good taste.
Concerning Girl*’ Feet.
‘‘Girls between the ages of 16 and
18 generally have big feet,” said a
fashionable shoemaker, "and they are
at such periods of their lives disposed
to be at and flabby, but at 22 a re
markable change take3 place. The
foot then completely subsides, the
flabbiness disappears the flesh of the
foot becomes firmer, the muscles and
tendons get stronger, and the bones
become well set. Altogether r. great
difference is noticeable. Yes. we have
difficulty with girls of about
11 or thereabouts, for then they re
fiuire a shoe large enough for a full
grown woman. When they get older
aod the fot becomes settled new boots
m ade on the old last will he found
t°o large, and it. is only when the
lo ,: og ladies complain that their new
s oes are too big that we know the
°°t undergone the change just
described. Then explanations have
t° be given, but the shoe maker
doesn’t mind that so much, for a wom
an as she grows older likes to be
old that her foot is getting smaller.
ter 40 the feet of a woman go hack
o the fat and flabby state, and herein
grows the trouble of the shoemaker
'' o has to state, in explanation, why
e * as,; Pair of shoes do net fit; that
e cause lies in the fact that her feet
Th* bigger. No. I don't think
a t cycling increases the size of a
ir 3 foot. True, one or two of our
customers have asked us to make
cir new hots a shade larger, but this
lfficulty is gotten over by making

Tlio Mother’s Health.

straints in the endeavors to keep clean

dainty apparel. A child should never
bo conscious of its clothes. Many
mothers toil and deny themselves
even to the point of injuring their
health, that they may satisfy their am
bition to clothe their children in beau
tiful garments. They are led to do
this ironi their social ambition and
ficm their motherly love, which would
lavish upon the child all that any
i iiild could ha' r e. The great temp
tations of mothers is to make riqlls
and puppets of their children. Fortu
nately to do this women do not have
to work as hard as in other days, as
children s drosses come ready-made
a.nl a reasonable prices, so that the
maternal needle is not driven to such
feats o f embroidery and dressmaking
as formerly. Nevertheless the pur
chasing of the children’s wardrobe and
the care and mending which are nec
essary, are not among the least of
the demands upon the mother’s time.

my little ones trotting off to school,

Hair Comb# of Pearl.
Combs of pearl, rarely carved, stud
ded with jewels and bound with gold,
are what the dealers in costly orna
ments are showing with the greatest
pride. It is remarkable that the jew
elers never realized the artistic utility
of shining opalescent seashell lining as
a hair decoration before, for hitherto
fans .and opera glasses and buttons
have monopolized all the pink, white
and smoked pearl used in the femi
nine toilet.
Combs of the new departure are
made of only the most richly colored
pearl, and studded and crowned with
stones that echo the opalescent tint3
of the shell. The advancing popular
ity of pearl has not in the least in
jured the vogue of tortoise shell, and
has generally increased the popularity
of the three, seven and fifteen-pronged
comb as a hair ornament. At intervals
some native returned from Paris
spreads a rumor to the effect that
combs and aigrettes have had their
day, and a few followers arc found for
this gospel. After brief adherence to
this fashion the limpid glory of gems
shines out again from well-combed
tresses, and the aigrettes, crescents,
etc., flash out <cheerfully.
Among the pretty spring surprises
in hair bric-a-brac are combs with
tufts of tiny jeweled feathers quivering
at their tops and combs surmounted
with an exquisite white aigrette and
a few' delicate diamond flowers.
Avery recent pattern in combs
for the back hair shows tiny
golden roses, each with a bright
White diamond heart, blossoming
In an orderly row at the top of a
bowed band of blonde shell. If the
heads of very well-dressed women and
the contents of the showcases of very
prosperous jewelers are significant we
are going to wear very tall and broad
combs of modified Spanish shape in
the near future. However splendid
the glitter and workmanship of these
may be, their commercial value is not
always above the reach of a moderately
supplied purse. Combs carved by
Lalique and set with the whitest stones
from Kimberley are so cleverly copied
and set with handsomepastegemsthat
no woman need indulge the sin of cov
etousness, hut honestly and happily
buy furniture for her head that is to
all intents and purposes as fine as that
Mrs. Astar or Mrs. Vanderbilt wears.

PARK SUIT iN SUfOiE COURi
Bill of Exceptions to Judge Candier’s
Ruling Is Filed By Attorney of
Georgia State Treasurer.
At Atlanta, Ga., Thursday the bill
ef exceptions in the mandamus suit
of Governor Candler on behalf of the
state and State Treasurer Park to en
force the payment of the salaries of
the state school teachers was signed ;
by Judge Candler before whom the
case was heard several days ago, and
filed in the clerk’s office of the su
preme court, and the case stands i
ready now to be heard by that tri
bunal. which will render the decision i
of highest authority and will be final.
It is the purpose of the parties to
the suit to have the supreme court i
push the hearing forward on the dock- !
et and in this secure an early disposi- 1
tion of the case, since more than $250,- 1
000 due the state teachers depends on i
the decision.
It is expected that at least 20 days
will el&pse before the first possible
place on the calendar can be found for
the hearing. In this event the decision
will be rendered by between June 1
and June 15.
Much interest attaches to the result
of the case. It has now been pending
in the courts several w r eeks or since
the presentation of the warrants for
the school teachers’ salaries and the
lailure to pay them on the part of
State Treasurer Park.
The bill of exceptions attacks the
grounds on which Judge Candler based
his decision which was to the effect
that State Treasurer Park should hon
or the warrants from that portion of
the public property fund derived from
the sale of the Northeastern railroad
and also on the ground that a ministe
rial officer cannot raise a constitution
al question.
Judge Candler in his decision did
not take under consideration the ques
tion of the former public property
fund other than that derived from the
sale of the Northeastern. Treasurer
Park in the bid of exceptions asks that
this question, as well as every other
one in the suit, be decided by the
court.
The bill of exceptions goes into the
case at length, and deals minutely
with the reasons for the decision from
the highest court.

they fought.
A laurel wreath was presented the

“The Chinese plenipotentiaries are

the powers expressing astonishment
at the amount of indemnity demanded
and urging a reduction on, the ground
of the empire’s financial difficulties,

exacted, to pay in thirty annual in

Secretary of State Phil Cook will
hear the protest and exceptions in the
matter of the disputed boundary line
between the counties of Hall and
Gwinnett on May 24th. The location
of this line has occasioned some feel
ing between the two counties and the
decision of the secretary of state is
looked forward to with a great deal
of interest.
As the matter rests at present the
collection of taxes by the tax collec

some confusion and the final location
of the line will put a stop to the the
entry for taxes in the books of both
counties of the same tracts of land.
Costly Blaze at Wilmington*
Fire, which broke out from an un

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarr?
as nothing more serious than a bad cold
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if rot at first, i:
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated bv
the foul secretions, and tliepoison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because tliev do
not reach the scat of the trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar
rhal secretions, and tints cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
Mr. T. A. ’Williams, a lending; dry-good* mer
chant of Spariaulmrg, S. C., writes : •• For years
I had a seveie case of , -,yx>-v
nasal Catarrh, with all <ftrnuwr* T lt fci
the disagreeable effects tT
which belong to that B
disease, and which M Saßh

unendurable. I used l) ’Xp

of Catarrh.”

A New Verwri'ln Rug.
Those who art looking for novel
effects for their summer cottages n . y
find a helpful suggestion in the nys
that one woman has been making. Tin y
are woven from lampwick, something
after the manner of old-fashioned
braided rugs, such as one finds in fa* n>
house, and when finished aio pained
to harmonize with the room in which
they are to be used. In all cases, how
ever, black appears as a conspicuous
part of the color scheme. This biinrs
out the other colors by contrast and
gives decided character to the rug. For
veranda use these rugs are admirable,
being substantial, picturesque and un
ostentatious. When they are to to
used out of doors it is a pretty con< < it
to introduce the colors of the exterior
of the house into them, retaining the
black, however, as in those for indoor
use. Lampwick, when bought by the
quantity, is inexpensive, and as the
work costs nothing and the paints
little, one may have a unique feature
for house furnishing at a small outlay*.

Keeping tlie Home Healthful.
The heat and moisturo of the sum
mer months have a tendency to rust
metals, mildew fabrics and cover all
sorts of substances with mold. Fer
mentation and putrefaction develop
rapidly in vegetable and animal sub
stances if they are not carefully
watched. Lime and charcoal are two
aids toward keeping the house swo t
and dry, and the housekeeper should,
n possibly provide herself with both
of these materials. A barrel each' of
lime and charcoal in the cellar will
tend to keep that part of the house dry
and sweet. A bowl of lime in a damp
closet will dry and sweeten it. A dish
of charcoal in a closet or refrigerator
will do much toward making the-e
places sweet. The power of charcoal to
absorb odors is much greater directly
after it. has been burned than when it
has h ( n exposed to theairforalength
of time. Charcoal may bo purified and
used again and again by heating it to
a red heat. The liine must, be kept, in
a plac where there is no chance of its
getting wet and not exposed to air.

Apple Fritters —Beat two eggs, yokes
and whites separately, the latter until
they are as stiff as for frosting. Add
to the yolks a half pint of sweet milk,
a pinch of salt and two cups of sifted
flour in which has been mixed a tiu
spoonful of baking powder. Stir in a
pint of peeled and slived apples and the
