and tied into small bows or looped into a
rosette, while large bows of the same are
placed on the upper and the underneath
side OF the brim and several strands are used
for the ties. A languidly dropping brimmed
cream leghorn is trimmed in Azalee pink
and cream baby ribbon with bands around
the crown and large pom-poms of the pink
and cream ribbon attached to rubber stems
that bear strong resemblance to huge
chrysanthemums.
THIS FOR TRAVELLING.
A travelling hat designed for blonde is q
"collapsable" which is made on the head Of
the wearer and is therefore perfect fitting.
The frame is of four old rose silk covered
wires, which are sewed together at the back
and fare in the front. These may be ad-
justed TO any height desired and then sewn
to the wire that runs across the top. A
large ten-loop bow of No. go black gros
grain ribbon with two long fringed ends
that fall on the bangs, completely covers the
top of the hat and protects the hair from
dust. A narrow edging of jet finishes the
hat at the bottom and knot of the ribbon
is tied over the wires in front and gives the
pointed effect so much admired.

EXPENSIVE BUT NICE.
The Good and Bad Points of Harp Playing
Among the Ladies.

New York SUM-
Harp playing is a very picturesque and
artistic accomplishment, which constantly
finds new votaries. A pretty woman with a
golden harp against her shoulder, her slen-
der and supple wrist outlined against its
strings, is so suggestive of cherubim and
seraphim, of white wings, SO enveloped in a
misty atmosphere of saintliness and general
loveliness that man can't even think the
profane things that he says boldly about the
piano hanger and violin scraper, even if no
two strings are tuned in the same key.
But harp playing Is one of the most ex-
pensive luxuries woman can indulge.
The long-sufering pianoforte is as patient
as a two-humped camel, and bears uncom-
plainingly the practice abuse heaped upon
it, but harp wears out easily, the whole
mechanism going to pieces sometimes all at
once, like the time-honored ''one-horse
shay" The little Grecian, the cheapest OF
the harps, costs $500; the semigrand," the
most popular variety, Is usually $3.50; and
the grand" is sold as high as 81 200
In addition it is very expensive to keep
them in condition. their trim being affected
by every change in the weather and having
to be renewed at least every second year.

her prompt and minute information regard
ing the trains in Colorado. Now, are men
ever guilty of these follies? Why should
not woman-who is striving with might and
main to prove herself mons equal, if not his
superior-make one supreme effort to bear
herself with more equanlmity and exercise
a trifle more common sense when travelling,
that she may no longer deserve the now
well-founded imputation that she is
nuisance as a pedestrian and an anxiety as
passenger?
NOT ALL GOLD THAT GIITTERs.
A fine illustration of the deceptive quail
ity of mere outward appearance was given
in Sixth avenue train. There were many
well-dressed women in the car, but one out
shone the others in daintiness of material,
color and fit. Her complexion, too, was ex-
quisite, while its changing character, de-
noting natures own handiwork, made it all
the more beautiful to certain old-fashioned
eyes. Then her beauty, unadorned by
jewel or gewgaw of any kind, seemed most
adorned, as the poet AYERS, and the eyes of
all observers were directed toward her. But
she seemed unconscious Of the attention she
was winning, and that air did not lessen her
attractiveness. She occasionally addressed
remark to a plainly attired girl by her
side, whom the lockers on had set down as
the perfect creatures maid.
BY and by the talk became brisk, es-
pecially on the part of the beautiful mistress,
and it was pleasing to see the roses in her
round cheeks flush and pale with her vary
ing emotions. But alas! during the short
wait at a station, her voice rose with the tide
OF feeling and cast this delicious verbal
jetsam overheard beyond recall: II won't

with black velvet, and is edged with gold
and jet pendants. The crown is composed
simply of a large gold butterfly. and the
heavy gold rope that starts from the back is
knotted and rests on the bandeaux, while
just back OF this nestles small bow from
which start the ties of black velvet ribbon.
The evenly coiled coiffure of beautiful light
brown hair is plainly visible, and the whole
effect is wonderfully Frenzy.

crown, and the style of trimming is greatly
admired in London at the present time.

the periumed French bonbons and sweets
they are designed for. Tiny harmless-look-

tain the tiniest bit of strychnine, about one

the taste. but just what the gin cocktail

silver rope is linked, and the loops at the
back are of black velvet and silver rope.
The drop fringe of silver beads is sewed to
the top wire of the small frame, which is
covered with silver tricotine, and the ties are
OF narrow black ribbon.
A handsome blonde with dark brown
eyes is the wearer of the all-gold toqne
shown in the illustration at the beginning
of this article. Its subdued effect is greatly
heightened by the addition of three saucy-
faced purple pansies, in the midst of which
lies the head of snake Of gold, six feet in
length, which is coiled and twisted over the
wires and through the gold-crocheted
crown. The frame is merely two gold wires
fitting the head over which the crown is
draped. The arrangement of the hair shows
to good advantage, and this hat, worn with
ornaments in the hair, is admirably adapted
for the opera. ORASEANEY,

NOVELTIES IN JEwELRY.



New York SUM-
The fashion of employing the flowers of
the season in the decoration of bonnets, or
the construction of the corsage bouquet, has
spread to the wearing of their fac SMILES in
jewels as we'll. With the early spring days
came the violets in enamel, with crystallized
dew drops OF sparkling diamonds ON their
petals. A little later the jonquils were re-
produced in diamonds, with just row of
emeralds carrying out their red markings in
the center. Then the pearl lilies OF the
valley, dropping from diamond sprays, and
now the roses, with crumpled curling petals
in tinted enamel, and the flashing diamond
orchids set on slender swaying golden stems.
Very quaint and cunningly devised is the
kitten brooch, with two mischievous bits of
flashing diamonds. with emerald eyes alert
and rampant waiting to pounce on the pearl
ball between them, just lightly set on bar
of gold on which they also poise themselves.

advice to my lady readers, patronize only
the best millinery artists, tell them with
what dresses and upon what occasions you
intend to wear the hat, give them two or
three days in which to do the work, and
promise you that you will be both pleased
and delighted with it. Thus you will have
an individual style of your own, and the
milliner will have greater scope to model
and fashion the many pretty fancies and
designs.
Hats intended for ocean travel and yacht
ing excursions should be low-crowned straws
with no brim at the back and just enough
in the front to protect the eyes from the
rays of the sun, and it will be we'll to have
them secured to the head with narrow vel
vet ties, else the high winds will tear them
off and send them skimming over the blue
sea. BE careful to provide yourself with a
light wooden hood or fascinator of a color
that will not be affected by the salty spray,
and bear in mind that stylish bows OF rib
bon are the most appropriate and durable
trimmings for these hats.
AHAT FOR THE RACES.
Birds few into popularity with the ad-
vent OF the sailors, and these .rough-and-
ready straws trimmed in silk fish net, a
iaunty bow at the side and the two birds
saucily perched on the crown produces a
hat that will be much worn at the races. A
pretty model of this variety is of cream
straw with full putting of the cream fish
net around the crown and resting on the
brim and bow of wide cream ribbon at the
side. In front and at the opposite side of
the bow are two canary birds as if about to
take their flight.
Baby ribbon is again to the front and is
particularly well adapted for the little
misses hats. Many bands OF these zephyr
like stripes are fastened around the crown

halfway over roadway and then attempt
ing to run back into the stream OF vehicles
behind them. Furthermore, they have a
maddening habit of crossing in gangs, each
pulling the other a separate way, and
waving umbrellas on high, whilst they will
stand hesitatinglY on the curb, whilst the
wagons are bearing down upon the spot
they wish to cross, and then choose that mo-
ment to make futile dive to the other side.
AWFUL ON THE RAILS.
But, trying as they are as pedestrians,
women are more so as railway passengers,
for the average feminine mind appears to
be incapable of graphing with time tables
and train service generally. Rarely do they
ever understand how or when the trains
run, or that there is medium between ar
irving at the station half an hour too soon
and FIVE minutes too late. Neither does it
seem to occur to them that time tables are
provided ior the purpose OF supplying in
formation to passengers. Women either
their understanding sufficiently to make
use of them, and they will worry every
body within hail for the very particulars
that are printed up before their eyes not a
yard away. They have an aggravating
way of asking the same question OF half a
dozen officials.

official on one line of railway invests him
in feminine eyes with all the attributes of
an animated guide book, and great is the

USES OF BAKING SODA.

Try powdered charcoal or magnesia, lime
water or soda till you find which suits best,
but have the latter ready, for cup of hot
soda water taken In time Will often prevent
the worst summer attacks OF nausea and
cramps. 1t may be your lot as it has been
mine more than once, to want soda for some
victim in distress, only to find that neither
house nor shop could produce pinch of
baking soda, obsolete since the advent of
baking powder. Keep down the acid ten
dency and you prevent pimples, redness and
rawness of the face, fishy eyes and unpleas-
ant odor OF the perspiration, all derived more
or less from acids in the blood. With cool,
healthy blood the heat is felt less, there is
less tendency to freckles and sunburn.
will merely remind you, as readers need
to be reminded each year, that teaspoon
ful of powdered charcoal in water taken the
first thing in the morning is great purifier
of the blood. and prevents morbid, choteraic
conditions. Most people find themselves
better in very warm weather Tor taking this
dose after each meal. If plenty of fresh
fruit and brown bread cannot be counted on
a seidlitz powder every other morning,
Carlsbad salts, Congress water or Vichv or
some laxative known to suit the system
should be taken also.
