PHOTOGRAPH HANDKERCHIEFS. New York Sun. Now It Is the photograph handkerchief.. Already some very pretty collection bavo been made, and besides, scores of pretty articles of house decoration havo been constructed out of them. Tho photograph pho-tograph handkerchief lends itself to a variety of uses. , . . As its name Implies, it Is a photograph on a handkerchief Although for somo llttlo time heads havo been reproduced on satin cuehlon covers for screens and the llko, not until now has It been possible to go Into a photograpn gallery and have one's plcturo taken on a handkor- ChTh6 usos to which theso handkerchiefs may bo put nre many, not tho least Interesting In-teresting of which Is to make tho cover of a sofa or divan cushion In one s own room of squares of linen on which the likenesses of one's bst friends appear. Or thero may be a series of poses of Just one person. . Quite a lot of sentiment attaches to tho fad. Tho exchango of handkerchiefs, as well as the making or collections of them, Is likely to become as popular as tho collecting of postal cards. WHEN THE GROOM REGISTERS. Boston Herald. A bacholor frlond of mino who travels trav-els a great deal says he can always tell by the hotel register who are tho newly-married people. "It Is Just this way," he explained. "The masculine name Is written with tho usual careless flourish, Indicating habit, but In tho words that follow 'and wife' thero la a noticeable change. Tho pen hns evidently lingered over them, and they are written with a care and precision and plainness that cannot can-not be mistaken, with tho lenat bit of awkwardne8B, too. It iB a sort of Idiosyncrasy Idio-syncrasy of thse newly-made hUHbands to use that special formula, while those to whom marriage la an old story, whoso romanco the years have not dimmed, but made a pnrt of every-day life, simply write In the register 'Mr. and Mrs. .' Now, that Is not merely a notion of my own; it is backed up by export evidence from experienced hotel proprietors and clerks. I had noticed it so frequently that I asked somo questions concerning It, and found my observation to bo correct." cor-rect." HOME. Puck. There is no. place precisely like home. In America, although a servants' boarding board-ing house, with a livery elablo In connection, con-nection, 1b a near approach. The correct home atmosphere Is elusive. elu-sive. About, all we positively know concerning con-cerning It Is that it has to be pumped In by n ventilating apparatus costing at lenst 20,000, which, In Us turn, cannot be properly Installed In a houso costing less than half a million. Tastes In homes are various. The sweet home la Btlll found In remote Bet-tlementB. Bet-tlementB. American men live mostly in clubp, thus Ingeniously avoiding the housetop, on the one hand, and the contentious woman on the other. Our ambition to own our own home Is one of the stigmata of hysteria. The next thing will probably be an ambition to digest our own food. A home is Impossible without a woman to preside over It and a man to stagger under it. HOW TO CURE INSOMNIA. World's Work. There are several common 3ense wavs of obtaining sleep. Ono of them Is the application of cold wet cloths to the back of the head and neck. This treat-' mont will not bo followed by a reaction If It Is continued for a number of minutes, min-utes, and it often works surprlslnglv well. Another way of solving the prob lem Is to soak tho feet In a hot bath until the veins become dilated with blood-or blood-or the wholo body up to tho hlpa may bo given a hot soak. With some people a two or threo minute hip bath is tho most effcctlvo remedy. Others find help In a few slow exercises which do not Jar or excite the system, but simply brine some fatigue to the jig muscles of the trunk and limbs. Friction of the skin especially of the lower part of tho bodv' Is another means. ' TOO SCRUPULOUS FOR GOTHAM Now York Mnil. An Englishman with a hyphenated name, son of a real viscount, has been deprived of his seat In Parliament because be-cause ho gave a garden party to voters. It Is woll that this brutal British scrupulosity scru-pulosity has not boon imitated here, else It would knock the bottom out of tho New York political system. The aspiring local politician who does not give tho mothers and children of his district a husbands and parents on an August chowder and oupply free coal to tho needy all tho year around gets the reo- "ell quit the game. What . stamps a man as a corruptions in effete London is simply his certificate of good fellowship fellow-ship In gay New York. |
