alady that wears dress with sleeves pulled
and elevated at the shoulders Some OF
these shoulder humps are so high that they
cause shadow to be cast over the weareT' 5
neck and the lower part Of the
face. l have had several instances of
spoiled pictures on this account. At first
the failure of the photograph - bring out
the sitter's chin and neck in strong relief
| puzzled me. l studied the matter for sew
eral days, aud tried experiments with my
| patrons until / became satisfied that the
| trouble was caused by the b gh-topped
sleeves. demonstrated that such was the
fact to one lady by drawing a scarf closely
around her shoulders. Without the scarf all
attempts to get good picture of her failed.
With the scarf succeeded the first time in
getting picture that revealed clearly the
! outlines of her face and neck
A new and dainty device fills the house
with the o1or of June gardens at compara-
lively small expense even in December.
| 1t was in dimly lighted parlor that 1 felt
stealing over my senses memories of sum-
mer time, stray bits of the flower lore Philip
| MsrstOn reyeled in. all within SQUAD of the
| roar and rattle Of stone-paved, busy. bust
| ling New York There were no flowers
visible in the room, but still the faint,
delicate breath of roses permeated the
dim light and puzzled as well as de-
threw back the hanging. when l discovered
| close behind me an old little crumpied
basket of delicate china flied to the edge
with lose roseleaves tossed lightly IN one
upon another. A single fragrant rose, too
much faded to be ornamental, will yield
| more perfume in this way than a fresh
| flower standing upright in glass, and all
manner of little odd-shaped dishes are
utilized as receptacles. A braided straw
hat of Dresden china tied up with blue
china ribbons and heaped with the petals of
an American beauty rose Is delight TO
sight and smell as well
Tell it not in Gath, but fair woman's ex-
treme latest is fortune telling, not by PALM
istry, but rather by q study of the feet Not
that she exposes her uncovered foot TO the
eyes of the necromancer, or submits to his
scrutiny in the flesh, but, instead, n plaster
cast is taken of the right foot, and from its
GU lines, creaseS, and form one wise in the
aesthetics of foot lore reveals to her the
mystery of the future and the peculiarities
of her own character. Beware of the woman
with broad-soled, fat-heeled foot, for she
has mean, grasping disposition. Beware
Of the girl with the high iusJep for she has
a nervous, passionate nature. Have care
concerning well-formed neat little ankle
for it indicates self-consciousness and
vanity.
A pale electric-b cloth makes charm
ing theater costume, aud needs only to be
outlined with black feather trimming and
/ g set off by black velvet shoulder knots to
be extremely effective. Gold galloon seems
to have a marked run just at present. but
unless toned down by jet embroidery it is
not much affected by those who prefer quiet
elegance TO snowy effects.
The small bonpets so much worn at the
theater will call forth the heartfelt thanks
OF the male portion of the audience Many
of them are in complete harmony with the
dress, as they should be. These capotes,
with birds executing all sorts of flights upon
their crowns, are not at all suitable for the
the theater. Speaking for myself, | may
say | dislike extremely to have a nervous
young woman, with display of these circus
birds in her hat, seated in front of me.
They are very distracting, and often find
myself fascinated by their impossible oolors
and attitudes, especially when they are kept
in perpetual motion by the restless being
whose hat they adorn.
Sara finds that her blonde hair the last
year falls continually and grows much
darker. "She knows a bleach that many
girls in town use, and is strongly tempted
to follow their example. Would 1t cause
her hair TO fall or injurs IL in any wayW
1t sounds oddly to my old-fashioned ears
to hear of quiet town where "many girls"
bleach their hair. Sara only wants to use
that popular bleach to lose the hair she has
left. Washing it in boraK and rinsing in salt
water is not improving to any hair, and il
Sara has used this treatment it will account
for the loss of her locks and their changing
color. Salt water ruins fair hair and sheds
it like a cats fur in spring.
Wash blonde hair with the yolk OF fresh
egg beaten in half pint of soft water, well
rinsed off.
Never before has the demand for flowers
been so great as during the present season,
and the florists are naturally very much
pleased at the renewal of the fashion of
usiag flowers as gifts on all occasions, as
well as for decorative purposes at weddings,
receptions and dinner parties, says the Bos-
ton Traveller.
Corsage bouquets are 10 high favor both
for street and house wear, but the huge
bunch OF miscellaneous blossoms has disap-
peared, and in its place is small bouquet,
usually composed of one kind of flower,
with It's own foliage. For this purpose the
chrysanthemum has had its day of favorit-
ism for this season at least, and the most
ardent lovers of this most beautiful of all
autumn flowers could not complain but that
it was awarded its full complement of ad-
miration.
Every year women seem to engage more
freely than ever before in peculiar pursuits,
says an exchange. A young LADY in England
is just publishing an account of Journey

part of Russia. She went on horseback.
and Travelled 800 miles. She rode astride,
and wore sort of DR.. Mary Walker
costume, which at times she covered with a
coarse wooden gown. She slept out at
night on the ground. went bare-footed ate
vile food, lived in a discomfort equal to
that of Stanley or Keenan,, and all to write
book. Another lady went over Alaska
practically alone, and has written book;
and for women to go around the world
alone has become so old a story as to no
longer furnish amusement or delight for
anybody. Women are famous fishers in
Norway during the summer, and last year
several OF the most notable mountain climbs
of the season were made by women.
Lady Florence Dixie, the we'll known
London advocate of dress reform, wears ir-
doors a white flannel blouse or shirt with
tartan kits just covering the knees, and
long tartan hose. Her shoes have silver
buckles, aud her bodice is a loose smoking
jacket. Her hair is short and wavy and
full of threads of gold, her complexion fresh
and brilliant and her features pleasing
