One of the heavy crapes, it material

Many Basa Usee to Which "Infinite" la
- Put Nowaday.
What is happening to the word "Infi
nite?" It used to hare great and rare
associations and serve great needs.
Now I meet It everywhere and with
every possible application. One boa
set is Infinitely more beautiful than
another, one brand of wine Infinitely
preferable to the next He has an infi
nite desire to see her; she would infi
nitely prefer a hobble skirt to one with
gores. One novel Is Infinitely superior
to Its predecessor; a character in it In
finitely prefers game to domestic fowL
There Is no association too trivial for
it, do use too petty. Our books and
our newspapers alike bristle with mis
used "infinites." The word, like Lau
rence Sterne and Lord Byron, has be
come a social literary success, and no
worse fate can befall a great author or
a great word. It Is taken up by the
fashion paperand by society Journals,
and this season's styles are usually ln
flnltely prettier than the last
Infinitely pretty!
Not only careless Journalistic folk
who like to produce an emphatic effect
at any cost are guilty. My learned
fronds put it to common use. So do
I when I forget We are Infinitely
jlhltfed nowadays to onu who gives as
a lift of a few blocks and Infinitely
grateful for oar Christmas presents.
Our greatest and best authors vie with
one another in bringing this great word
down from Its high estate, and It la
only a few days since I heard a most
fastidious man of letters lecturing in
Boston say that the Sunday supple
ments would be infinitely more divert
ing If something I forget what were
different The robin's note in "Fiona
Macleod". Is 'infinitely winsome."
Even as critical a writer as Mrs. Anne
Douglas Sedgwick speaks of a heroine
"infinitely malleable" through love and
of a fat young German musician as
feeling 'Infinite compassion." That to
be sure. Is better than Arnold Bennett's
description of a womao as "Infinitely

A convenience Invented to help a

which have been closed together by

tailed "buttonhole openers," and men
seem well satisfied to possess them.
Artificial pearls are a part of every

however, and successfully, for studs,
which men like to feel are not distress

ity to slip away, are to be had for $10
for a set of three. Scarf pins also are
priced at $10. Both these are set In
fourteen karat gold.
Embroidered Crapes, '
To combine with the plain cottop
crapes there are attractive embroidered
crapes with tiny figures, conventional
and floral, worked out in the bright col
orings so highly favored this winter.
There are also bordered crapes with
floral borders as exquisitely embroider
ed by machinery as if done by hand
In fact the marvels of machinery have
never revealed themselves In a more
astounding- manner than now. Take,
for instance, the-exquisitely fine Ap
penzel embroidery. To even think of
imitating it seems like a foolish dream,
yet it has been copied by machinery
so perfectly that only an expert could
detect the difference.

ALPINE CURLING.
Almost Surgical Skill Used en the lee
te Make It Perfect
Scotch players regard the conditions
at Alpine curling aa somewhat too lux
urious. The Ice is almost too perfect,
and the tactics that proved successful
on the rougn ice or a Scottish pona
have to be abandoned la favor of more
subtle methods.
The ordinary visitor to the Alps has
very little idea of the science and work
which are necessary to insure a good
rink, and the Scotch curler who baa
been accustomed to the rough Ice form
ed by a few nights' frost is somewhat
startled when be sees an army of Ice
men working through the night A
rink In the Alps is a costly business.
The ground Is carefully leveled in the
spring, and after the first fall of snow
a squad of icemen tramp the snow
down as evenly as possible. The flood
ing Is done In a series of elaborate
stages, which can be carried out only
when the sun la shining.
The secret of good Ice Is to go slowly.
This was proved by a clever expert
ment The discovery of this was due
to Rudolph Bauman, perhaps the best
Iceman In the Alps. He filled two
wooden tubs with water, and the first
froze bard In a night The second was
allowed to fill gradually, drop by drop,
throughout a fortnight The two blocks
of ice were then put In the sunshine,
and. whereas the Ice that had been
formed in a single night disappeared
within a week, the other block sur
vived for three weeks.
The Ice is carefully doctored every
night with the skill of a first class sur
geon. Small holes are trimmed and
scoopea out with a knife. They are
then filled with finely powdered Ice
and sprinkled with boiling water. The
result is an absolutely even surface of
good Ice. London Times.

A Handy Measure.
If you have a pint Jug and wish to
measure off half a pint with tolerable
accuracy It Is useless to try. and do so
by guessing when the jug hi half full.
A better way is to tilt the jug until the
contents just reach to the upper end of
the bottom of the vessel and just touch
the lip at the lower end of the mouth.
In this way the space la the pint Jug is
practically cut Into two equal portions,
each half representing the space taken
by half a pint
