ion. The number of ladies who turn
their hair up from the forehead is daily
increasing. The hair in front is ar
ranged in rolls, waved or slightly curled,
and the back is either plated or turned
up to meet the front part. This limo
walton of bare foreheads is all well
enough for women with low or only
moderately high brows, but the real in
tellectual forehead is unfeminine no mat
ter what may be said of it as indicative
of brain inside. If the hair grows even
ly and rather low, and especially if it
have a natural Kindness, it can be be-
comingly brushed back; but seventy in
a hundred women cannot afford to take
away shading of hair from above their
faces, and so the majority of us Will
struggle for another summer to keep
our bangs crimped in spite of the
Strengthening humidity of seashore at
mosphere.
Millinery grows to great dimensions
under the summer sun, and hats which
would be outlandish in the cities are
reasonably picturesque in the country.
Still, it will be seen that there is more
of ornate shapeliness than usual, mere
expansiveness of brim being less a
feature than hitherto. l had talk
with an artist to-day about big hats.
Said he: 1T is mistake to condemn
them, if they be worn with artistic
taste. The fundamental rule to be kept
in mind in wearing very big hat is
to make that article appear as some
thing separate from the individual.
What / mean is, that when hat, hair,
veil, etc, form one mingled mass, that
makes the girl seem to have an enor-
bulk of head, and a veritable monster
is produced. But if such hat
rests on symmetrical and simple head,
it looks like a separate affair and is
usually becoming" Another thing that
he said was: "Why don't you publish
a good sound doctrine about the wear
ing of wells in summer? Bellies desir-
Gus of protecting their complexion from
tan and freckles, or aiming to conceal
imperfections of that sort, often hang a
veil from hair to chin. Now, that may
be we'll enough, so far as enhancing
the beauty of complexion is concerned,
but the trouble is that it hides the eyes,
and thus robs a face of much express
sion. What do 1 propose? Why, L

Hippocrates and Artaxerxes.

Hippocrates, the celebrated physi-
clan, having cured the monarch Arta-
xerxes of Persian ague, the grateful
king sent him an embassy with rich
presents. These the physician declined
contemptuously, and the ambassadors
were fain to return to the Persian court,
were they reported that the mighty
healer had refused any payment what
ever.
""Not he? They didn't derive hippoc-
rasy from his name for nothingl" re-
marked the king, who, though illiterate,
was possessed of much natural shrewd-
ness. "He means to make out that his
mental anxiety and loss of practice en-
title him to large sum; but / will see
to that"
And he appointed a commission to
audit the bills, placing at its disposal
for all contingencies one-half of the
presents.

the same fluid can be bought in the
streets for three cents?
Wash goods that can't be washed are
a feature of the season, especially in
toilets to be worn at the summer re-
sorts. The wealthy belle aims at sort
of simplicity that cannot be cheap
Her lawn gown for the lawn may be
made of a figured fabric quite within
the reach of shop girl, but she trims
it so daintily and extensively with
lace that the aggregate value makes it
exclusive to the richly endowed bellies.
Moreover, the embellishments are of
such q texture that they would be
ruined by the wash-tub, and so the
comparatively cheap lawn is worn only
until soiled, and then thrown away
while the owner thinks she is making q
concession to economy by having the
lace transferred to another dress of tn >
same kind
A beach promenader is apt TO carry
a muslin parasol, and this may be
trimmed with crepe lisse in everything
sections, producing a soft and feathery
effect Makers of parasols have taxed
their ingenuity to produce novelties,
and these usually take the form of en-
broidered muslin, white being the pop
ular color. 1t is unique fashion for
the present summer to have set of
covers for parasols made detachable,
and to match the various toilets with
which the sunshade is TO be carried.
The form has an elaborate handle,
either of modelled silver or gold, or
carved ivory or shell, and these exqui-
sitely and artistically embellished ham
dies cost almost any price that anybody
feels like paying, for they are some
times set with jewels, besides repre-
senting great deal of skilled handi-
work. A handsome handle and form,
with set of twelve assorted covers,
may easily cost one hundred dollars,
although half that sum will
buy tolerable outfit. If
the belle desires to be further
extravagant, she may have as many
handles as covers, and prove that they
are inseparable by painting the former
in enamel of colors and designs to
match the latter. 1t is not often that
the useful is combined with the orna-
mental where dress novelties are con-
cerned, but have just seen some new
parasol handles which really do serve a
purpose other than providing their
owners with a formidable weapon. The
knobs at the ends of these new sun
shades are in the form of muzzled dogs
heads of various breeds, and upon
touching conveniently placed spring
the inuzzle opens and discloses safe
receptacle for any small article, such
as q railway ticket, tiny scent bottle,
or even few stray silver coins and un-
wieldy coppers.
