FASHIONABLE AND OTHERWISE.

REMEMBER two very important objects
in ventilation: To warm the air, and.
at the same time to keepi it moist.
The stockings for evening wear must
match the color of the dress or it's trim
mings, and be plain, of silk or fine Isle
thread, with embroidered clocks.
BANGS and curls across the forehead
are now considered in execrable taste.
The hair is simply brushed back from
the forehead without the suspicion OF "a
curl or crimp.
The entire front breadths of dressy
toilets for evening wear are frequently
made of beads matching in color and
tone the silk, satin, velvet, or broche
that forms the dress. a
AS natural roses are costly at this
season, modistes arrange artificial roses
In clusters, tied with white or pink satin
ribbons, with loops among the flowers,
for trimming youthful dresses.
A BEAUTIFUL and effective trimming
for evening dresses is Of white silk cord
wrought in Orne patterns, with seed
pearls used in outline. No prettier
trimming has been shown this season.
GARNETs are growing in favor. They
like diamonds, treatment which de-
velops all their beauty. Garnets are
especially becoming to pale brunettes.
ENGLISH brides refuse to wear long
trained wedding robes, saying they do
not care to look like dowagers at their
own weddings, where they propose to
dance in demi-trained dancing dress.
A NEW idea for splashers shows a
breadth of Canton straw mating sus-
pended by small gilt rings from brass
rod bannerwise, and painted artistically
with trailing nasturtiums or wild roses.
SECOND skirts or skirt fronts made
entirely of gold and other metal bead
and thread embroideries, with fringes
TO match, all in shaded effects, make
dazzling many evening toilets of cere.

TEACH your laundress or washwoman
| to pull the collars crosswise and not
lengthwise when starching them, and
also when ironing them; cuffs and shirt
bosoms should also be stretched accord
ing to the same rule, and you will then
find that the articles which seemed to
fit perfectly will do SO still after they
have been laundried at home.-[New
York Post ea' 'sakf f.f'f1
A "sPLAsHER" for wash-stand can
be made either of black paper with gold
birds and real ferns to initiate Japanese
work, or water scene, with real grasses
and reeds, and with birds, fish, shells
and insects, either painted or in the
"stamped-eut" designs. 1t is important
| that all this kind of work should have
at least two coats of gelatine size and
one of good copal varnish.
A NOVEL place is now given for the
diamond or other gemmed lace-pin or
| brooch which, as the very latest caprice
of la mode, is fastened at the back of
the gown; this only when the bodice
fastens behind. The lace pin is placed
where the lacing begins. Just here it
would be well to say that previous to
lacing gowns they should first be secure
| ~ closed with five or six strong hooks;
this takes the stress off the laces, and
also spares many an ungraceful and
careless-looking sight.
A NEWLY married couple from the
country boarded Philadelphia street
car the other day, When the car be-
came crowded the bridegroom gallantly
arose and offered his seat to a lady.
ooh, Wilyum," said the bride in alarm,
"are you goin' to leave me?" NO."
said Wilyum, "I'm goin' to hold on to
one of them feathers" swell, Will
yum" said she, ''let me hold on to-" and
as she arose she tossed her head scorn-
fully at the lady who had taken her low
er's seat New York Tribune
'YEs, this is very old dog" said a
spinster to man who took an active
part in the canine harvest, ''and we
should hate very much to have him
caught on the street and locked up. 7
am very much attached to him, for I
used to carry him in my arms when he
was little puppy" 'sDo you say, miss,
that he is very old dog, and that you
carried him" "Oh," she broke in,
recollecting that she had compromised
herself, Il mean that he-he used to be
old when I was Gttle-I mean that
mother used-go on away from here, or
I'll set the dog on you."-[ ArkansaW

| At roller-skating exhibition i'll
New York the other evening lovely
young girl wore dress of amber corded
! silk, kilt-pleated above four-inch ruff1e
of the same fabric set on in box pleats.
With this was worn a iaunty cutaway
French guard coat of black velvet,
lined with royal cardinal and edged all
around with pleatings of cardinal satin,
which showed some inches beyond the
edge of tie long paneled fronts.
| There was full Fedora vest of the am
Der satin, which showed in fine contrast
against the black velvet coat, and the
draping in the back was caught up with
royal cardinal satin ribbons. A Turk
ish fez of dark red velvet completed
the costume.
| AMONG fancy ball costumes the "pea-
cock" "cat" and the "sea" are odd, and
the two last decidedly original. The
"cat" costume is of white satin, with
