The heavy Russian net, that which Is called
Croiistudt, Is not advised by n student ot veils
for small women, as it tends to so disguise
their faces that they havo a headless look. A
veil with a border will ago tho race. Although
the) are the most dellcato and can only be
counted on for ono wearing, still thero Is
nothing as absolutely becomlnj- as folds of
fine tulle. These, or course, con be chosen to
match tho hat and give any shading desired
to the fate. A red or a pink one will throw a
llttlo color on the cheeks ot tho woman who
Is pale, while n gray, a pale green one or a
Ikht brown one, ns well as onoot blue, will
subdue, the roses that oro sometimes found
too intense.
Somebody has discovered that much time
Is lamentably wasted In slitting open en

left out when tho envelops Is stuck down,
nnd one has only to pull this upward to open

pend. "I elon'l know what I'd do without
mv alarm clock," yawned Simpkins nt
tho boording-house breakfast table.
" It's hard to get nny fun out of jour
evenings unless )ou ntny up until nearly
midnight, ami that means 1 o'clock bo
foro jou really got to sleep. As my em
ployer insists ou mv being behind tho
counter by 8 ... M., that means waking
up at C.
" You can't get tho chambermaid to
v.ake j ou every moiuing without consid.
erablo outlay of tips, nud it would tnko n
pretty muscular girl nuv wav to pound on
mv door hard enough and long enough to
wuko mo olle'i tuiill).
' Now , luy alarm clock makes it simply
impossible for me to sleop.for it kicks up
such on awful row thnt I have to jump
out of bed and stop it in self-defense, be
fore it gets hnlf through tho perform
ance," nud Bimnkius, snis the Cincinnati
Uniwutciot.Gitittte, smiled the fatuous
smilo of a man who uovor discovers that
he isn nuisance.
"Yes, we've all noticed that,'' said n
stout commercial troTollor. who, wheal
he was at home at all, did not get up gen
erally for full an hour after Rimpkius
did. "I could recoinineud jou to nn
alarm clock which would arouse jou just
as effectually ns the one you have now,
and jet would not wake up everjbody
else withm a quarter of a mile of you.
" lhe lost time I wns down in Jlexieo I
left the lines of railroad and pushed out
into tho wilder parts of the country, in
tho interests of my firm. There I mot
for tho first timo some of those famotiB
couriers. Indians, who enrrj- messages
for hundrods of miles with much greater
celerity than horses can do in that moun
tainous couutry.
" When the courier's trip oxtonds ovor
throo oi four davs, as it frequently does,
ho allows himself two hourB sleep out of
evory twenty. four, nud, ns ho mokes his
bed on tho ground, just wherovcr ho
happens to stop, thero is no chamber,
maid or anyone olso to rouse him from tho
htavv stupor which naturally overcomes
a healthv man who has been running
stendily for nbont tvv out j. two hours, cnt
I mc occasionally wlulo ho runs.
" Having solected his bed, ho takes soino
thick cord from his pouch, cuts off a
piocoofit, of a length which cxptr.enco
hns taught him to bo about right, ties ono
end of iho cord, which is composed of
carefully selected material prepnrod in n
particular wav, to his too, sets tiro to tho
other end nud (nils asleep so quicklv that j
