In one respect at least over their sisters
in other parts ol the world. The French
demoiselles may surpass tbem in dar

but for extravagance the American
woman is without a rival. The gown of
a seaside girl the present seaeon Is al

stones, says a fashion authority. ;
Seven ounca is the least her sum

quite correct is the most, says one au
thoritybut what she may pay for these
few ounces is another matter. Her
modiste's bills will run along in the
eighties and hundreds for even the sey-en-oui:ee
gown.
You cannot put a gown through a

The objeci of the ten-ounce gown is,
first, comfort. In hot weather the less

that is a nitre fact. But the texture
this gown is made of determines its ex
pense end the underskirts play a great
part in the- experience as well as in the
expense or tne gown.
A pretty gown in one of the closets

embroidered in the lightest floss with a
dainty thistle pattern. The embroidery
adds almost nothing to the weight of the
gown- and ri' .-s just the touch of trim

Then thcrt are the pineapple gauzes

in the underskirts; they would be too
heavy. The plain ruffle without inser

in favor.
The pineapple gauze gown may he

Chiffon takes t hi place greatly of lace,
and, with pineapple gauze, is made over
a drop skirt or' white giik. Between the
drop skirt and the outer short is an in

fullness at the bottom and makes lace
ruffles ujiaereEsary.

Thre are splendid services which

There was a time once when the
common nettle was not the usually de
spised weed it is now. People did not
root it out of existence, but cultivated it
for use as food, for clothing, and for
paper manufacture, stays Stray Stories.
It certainly does not loo".; inviting as
a food, and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed en
tirely on it, cooking the yo'in plant as
greens. There was a method of blanch
ing it by "earthing up," as is now used
for en, kale.
Animals, while refusing to touch the
grcvitif: nettle, devour it eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russda, Sweden
and Holland it is mown several times a
year for fodder.
The common namo given to the net
tle in some languages mean3 "that with
which ore ??ws," iVr the fiber was used
as a thread several centuries ago.
In K-n:schatk?. the natives use the
thread ior fishing lines and cordage. In
France it is used for paper. In Hirtdu
sttn and China it is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared, i
spun and woven into as good linen
as the flax makes. j
The Chinese nettle yields a fiber as .
soft as silk, and there is now in Drea- j
den a "China gra3s" manufactory, de- :
voted to the industry' of weaving cloth '
from this and the common nettle. j

"I remember a dinner party at which
I was present in the house of an Eng
lish official employed by the mikado's
government in Tokio," says Sir Edwin
Arnold, in the London Standard. "The
banquet, prepared and eaten in the
Japanese manner for many of the
guests were Japanese statesmen and
officials was chiefly remarkable for
the perfect skill and attention with
which we were waited upon by good
looking and well-dressed 'boys.' seven
or eight in number. I took occasion
after dinner to Inquire of our host how
he had picked up and kept in his em
ploy such well-taught, faultless at
tendants, whereupon he answered:
'Every one of them is a high-born, edu
cated youth of some well-known native
family in Tokio or the provinces.
They are lads of the old "kazoku" and
"shizoku" rank, and they discharge in
my house duties which are called men

heard it before the unfortunate mo

"Some customers have nonsensical
notions about the proper way to venti
late a hat," said a fashionable hatter,
to a New York Times man. "In fact,
they are so whimsical about it that we
make the hats without a verrtilator
and try to suit the wishes of the cus
tomer after he has handed his money
to the salesman. Many customers will
not have a hat ventilated at all. Well,
they miss a great deal of comfort and
take long chances for baldness in old
age. The English style, and the only
one that some buyers will adopt, Is a
ring of perforated holes in the crown
of the hat. In my opinion, it is just as
well to have no ventilator at all as U
put it there. The best way is to have
two holes, one on each side of the hat,
just above the band. Then you get
good circulation all the time. There
are ways of punching the holes artis
tically so that they do not detract from
the appearance of the hat. But you
would be surprised at the number of
men who will not have them, some be
cause it is not fashionable, and others
because they think the hat will not
wear so well."
