The latest foible of fashion is the fur fox scarf. The inanimate deco
ration is used by the young lady in the guise of a pet. It is also used for
a neck covering on evening gowns. It is one of the winter’s novelties.
BLOUSE TRIMMED WITH FUR
Showing the Possibilities of This
Charming Ornamentation When
It Is Properly Applied.
Our artist has illustrated in the
sketch before you an excellent ex
ample of the charm of fur trimming.
The alliance of a lace waistcoat with
white panne gives added charm. This
blouse is especially suited to five
o’clock calls or bridge teas, especially
as it can be comfortably worn under
a fur or velvet coat. The foundation
10^1
is of dull Louis blue satin, veiled all
over with deep purple chiffon so as to
correspond with the skirt of purple
cloth. The roll-over collar and wait
band is of deep purple velvet, the col
lar and oversleeve of which are edged
with skunk. On the head is worn a
soft boret of ruby velvet and purple,
with a big white heron’s feather. A
novelty is shown in the muff of skunk
with an entire skin of white fox, lined
with purple silk, flatly applied on the
muff in hearth-rug fashion.
Buttoned Down the Back.
Skirts buttoned all the way down
the back are the latest caper of fash
ion. An evening gown, worn at a
large reception recently, had one of
these skirts. The gown was of pale
yellow satin charmeuse, the sides of
the skirt being lifted in slight draped
effect at the hip and passing under
the broad panel which formed back
and train. This back panel was but
toned down the center with small but
tons of the yellow satin set closely
together, and the line of buttons ex
tended from the waist line to th
end of the train. The satin skirt
was draped up over bodice of yellow
chiffon, and yellow satin buttoned
boots and long, embroidered gloves of
pale yellow silk completed the cos
tume.
Effective Suits.
Sults combining broadcloth and vel
vet are effective. Three-piece cos
tumes are made of charmeuse and vel
vet, the latter being used for the coat
and the dress trimming.
RAINY DAY SUIT FOR CHILD
Something That Every Youngster
Needs—lts Manufacture and Proper
Mode of Preservation.
Overalls —Get a pattern one size
larger than age called for; cut the pat
tern off just above the knee, and if de
sired raise the material under the
arm, also over the back and chest.
This is not always necessary; it de
pends upon the pattern of overall. Try
the pattern against the child, and al
low from four to six inches below the
collar.
Cape—Circular cape; length, a lit
tle shorter than length inside of the
elbow, to give perfect freedom.
Sleeves —Plain, not full, cut by any
ordinary sleeve pattern.
. Place the cape and the sleeves on
the child and wiere the sleeves nat
urally join the cape, pin over the
shoulder and baste. The underpart
of the sleeve is left free, and is bound
with narrow bias fold of material or
tape. Stitch the military strap on top
of the shoulder of the cape to pre
vent the stitching showing. This addds
strength and gives a trim effect.
When the costume is complete, dip
in melted paraffin (which has been
removed from the stove) in a kettle
large enough to allow the goods to be
well immersed. Leave in the hot so
lution for ten or fifteen minutes, allow
ing the parts equal opportunity to ab
sorb paraflin. Lift out carefully by
the hem and allow to drip. When dry,
the garment will be stiff. Rub between
the hands to reduce stiffness and re
move any unnecessary paraffin, which
is apt to be too thick in heavy places.
The garment may be redipped at any
time and the same paraffin may be
used again. Generally two dippings
annually give perfect satisfaction.
Scrollwork Drapery.
Soft satins are draped with mousse
line and chiffon, having a covering of
Rennalsance scrollwork all over in a
darker shade, that is most lovely. The
graceful drapery of such gowns is
quite indescribable. A very pretty soft
falling black satin has a black lace
front over white chiffon, the vest all
puckered and white chiffon brought
to the neck with the black lace on
either side. The sleeves are made of
black tulle puffings over whltp to the
wrist. On many of the black dresses
a touch of color is introduced and has
a wonderful effect, seeing how litt^
is used —just a strip of ribbon ir^M
duced on one side.

ON BOAfiD A WARSHIP
Native of Arkansas Visits Craft
Bearing State’s Name.
Seventy-Foot Descent of Steel Lad
ders Grows Warmer and Warmer
as They Proceed Toward
the Bottom.
New York. —On most of the big bat
tleships at anchor in the Hudson river
the sign “No Visitors Allowed" bars
sight-seeing in certain parts of the
boat, but when a man who aemon
strated that he was from Arkansas
boarded the superdreadnought of that
name they gave him a little badge
which set forth that no signs applied
to him.
He wasn’t a “visitor," they said, he
was a guest, and there wasn’t any
place aboard that boat he couldn’t
go.
The man from Arkansas was game,
and he said he’d go everywhere, and
he took a reporter with him, because,
as he said: “I’m liable to forget some
of these things I see; so if you jot
it down and write a piece in the paper
about it, I’ll always be able to recall
every bit of it.”
Ensign Lammers, officer of the deck,
summoned Sideboy Johnson to take
the man from Arkansas to Bo’sun
Graves, and Bo’sun Graves immediate
ly detailed Seaman Taylor to act as
guide.
“Take this little party anywhere
they care to go aboard the Arkansas,
except the captain’s cabin,” was his
command.
“Aye. aye, sir,” Seaman Taylor re
plied. (Note, you always say “Aye,
aye, sir,” to the boss). Seaman Tay
lor explained that it was a custom in
the navy.
The man from Arkansas thought
that there was no use in having such
an opportunity given him unless he
made the most of it, so he told Sea
man Taylor that he believed he would
visit just those parts of the biggest ba
tleshlp which had signs saying. “No
Visitors Allowed” hanging over them.
He left it all to Seaman Taylor, and
Taylor thought the best idea would be
to start at the bottom and work up.
Starting from the gun deck, then,
the man from Arkansas was treated
first to a seventy-foot descent, most of
it by means of steel ladders and steep
steel stairways lined with chains or
steel rails which got warmer and
warmer the farther down he went.
Chief Water Tender R. H. P. Han
sen took the man from Arkansas in
hand in the stokehold. Mr. Hansen
FOUR WOULD BE SPEAKER
Illegal Registrations Cause Resigna
tion of Kaempf—Another Election
Is Planned In Germany.
Berlin.—The German imperial par
liament has made a record in the se
lection of a speaker by having four
contests for the position.
The third speaker this session, Dr.
Johannes Kaempf, has resigned his
seat on account of doubt cast on the
validity of his election.
Dr. Kaempf was elected as a radical
from the first district of Berlin by a
majority of only nine out of a total
vote of over 11,000. His Socialist op
ponent, Editor S. Duwell, demanded a
recount, which reduced Dr. Kaempf’s
majority to six, but also showed 16
cases of doubtful registration. The
reichstag committee on elections de
cided to Investigate these. As the Ger
man practice assumes that all illegal
ballots were cast for the successful
candidate. Dr. Kaempf anticipated an
adverse report of the committee by re
signing, in order to stand again be
fore parliament reassembles. His So
cialist opponent in the election again
was Editor Duwell, and as Colonel
Gaedke, the well-known military wri
ter, also ran again on the Democratic
ticket, a second ballot will be re
quired.
Dr. Kaempf was elected president in
succession to the clerical leader. Dr.
Martin Spahn, who resigned rather
than sit with the Socialist vice-presi
dent, Philipp Scheldemann. After an
unsteady six weeks’ tenure of office,
made notable by Emperor William’s
refusal to receive Dr. Kaempf as presi
dent, a third election was held, at
which Dr. Kaempf retained the presi
dency, but Vice-President Schelde

GERMANS GIVE UP THE PIPE
Paper Smokes Gain in Favor and Sta
tistics Show That Ten Times
as Many Are Used.
Berlin. —The typical pipe of' the
German is passing out and giving
place to the cigarette in spite of the
devotion of the older Germans to
their pipes or penny cigars.
Statistics just published show that
the number of cigarettes consumed
has increased more than tenfold
since 1897, when the billion mark was
passed, the figures being for 1907,
7,820,000,000; for 1908, 8,698,000,000;
for 1909, 9,508,000,000, and for 1911,
12,403,000,000. These figures Include
the stamped hulls used by persons
who prefer to make their own ciga
rettes but who are not allowed to
escape the cigarette tax, and they
show that the consumption has al
most doubled In the last five years.
Assuming 20,000,000 adult male
smoker/ in Germany, this gives an
average consumption per smoker of
620 cigarettes a year. The great bulk
of these are cigarettes of the cheapest
sort, 371-2 per cent, of those sold in
1911 retailing at 11-2 pfennigs (three
for a cent) or under and 35.7 per cent,
falling in the next grade, retailing at
2 1-2 pfennigs apiece. All in all, the
German smoker, it is estimated, burns
up 250,000,000 marks, $62,500,000, in
cigarettes annually.
HEADLESS CATS KEPT ALIVE
Surgeons at National Clinical Con
gress at Cornell College Say
Feat Is Possible.
New York. —One of the most inter
esting exhibits for the surgeons who
attended the National Clinical con
gress here was shown at the Cornell
Medical college . In a series of dem
onstrations Prof. John Murlin Is show
ing the "headless cat” as the subject
of physiological experiment.
It is declared possible to keep
headless cats alive for several days
if necessary. In the experiments
which are being carried on at present,
it is rarely necessary to keep them
alive longer than twelve hours. The
purpose of the experiments is to study
the reflexes of the nervous system.
What surgeons cite as evidence of
rapid advance in surgical accomplish
ments is the extent to which which
bone transplantation figures in opera
tions which are being performed in
this city this week. Several of these
operations show that bones can be
kept in cold storage for use whenever
occasion arises.
Dr. Fred H. Albee removed the as
targalus from the heel of a patient
in the post-graduate hospital, and in
the amphitheater of Bellevue hos-
way, though, and here is something
they didn’t have aboard the Titanic,
nor, so far as I know, aboard anything
except the very latest boats.” .
He pointed out a snug little wire
cage elevator, automatic and dedicat
ed for the private use of the men in
the fireroom. By climbing into that
cage the men from the fireroom, which
is the lowest part of the big battle
ship in which the men work, can be
shot up to the gun deck in ten sec
onds.
HAIR CUT JOKE; BURNS HOUSE
Son of Nebraska Minister Confesses
Six Attempts to “Get Even”
With Sisters.
Goshner, Neb.—Will Whittaker, fif
teen years old, son of a Dunkard min
ister, confessed to Deputy State Fire
Commissioner Ironton tnat he has set
fire to the home of his parents six
times.
He said that the act was prompted

style of his hair cut.
The boy pleaded guilty before the
county judge of Seward county, was
sentenced to six months in jail and
then was paroled. In each case the

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS ,
Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders' may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre
serfbed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name ci
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
itive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, will so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, if any,
further need for medicine.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin can bo
procured In any drug store. Your
name and address on a postal to Dr.
W. B. Caldwell, 203 West St, Monti
cello, 111., will bring a free trial bot
