l told the milliner that the bonnet
must be of new shape and calculated to
set off to advantage an elegant, slim,
nervous and eccentric lady, who dressed
in the very latest style of the time.
This trait of eccentricity was, in fact,
to outweigh all other points in her char
acter. 1t was to be the ruling feature
in the COmteSse Sara's new bonnet. l

Of course the miliner helped me turn
up and down or twist round certain por-
tiunS of the structure, but it was only
under immediate directions from my
self. until at last the hat frame was
fashioned to suit the eccentric character
of the role, and, in measure, the eX-
preston of my own features, who had
to wear the bonnet. 1t was, therefore,
not the milliner who "created that Won

longer, much to the detrimeut OF their
smart, iaunty effect. Most capes are
made double, the triple capes having
become so monOtOn0usIv common, and
the Queen Anne cloak has but single
cape, which is braided all over, tipped
with fur. and reeches below the hips.
Very striking Louis Quinze jackets are
of black cloth outlined with dead gold
braiding. and more picturesque still are
the red Medici Danish coats embroid
cred in black and gold.
Among the pretty novelties that are
now being brought out for evening
wear are the flower ruches, which make
such pretty finish for skirts. A ruche
of yellow roses. set thickly, borders a
skirt of yellow satin draped with tulle.
Pink heather, tied with pink ribbons,
makes lovely garniture, and lilies of
the valley, daisies and buttercups are
all employed in the new ruchings.
A new idea in the use of flower sprays
on the skirt is to arrange them from the
waist downward, and have them gradu-
ally broaden as they reach the bottom
of the dress.
Skirts are all made very full and elab-
orately trimmed with loops Of ribbon
and flowers; indeed, 1t seems scarcely
possible to make them sufficiently
fuSsy.

Cupid has not often anything to do
with matchmaking; courtship, as yet,
being among the unapproved and unac-
cepted customs of civilization. The
bargain is usually made by the friends
of the young people, and i'll this. as well
as i'll other respects, the children are
disposed to follow the wishes of their
parents.
There are only two questions that are
SAID to enter very largely into the coun-
ellis of friends on occasions of this kind;
the first is:
"Will the young man give money
enough?" the second, Can they take
care of each others bodyin sickness and
of each others corpse after death?'
IT these two questions can be an
swered satisfactorily, then the way is
clear for the wedding ceremonies,
which consist principally of merry-mak-
ing, feasting, sprlnkling with holy wa
ter. ETC.. etc. says writer in Demon
eSts family magazine.

good circumstances is about to take a

is going to be married, but that ''he is
about to build house." This is be-
cause he must always build a new
house for his wife, near to her parents,
and have it ready before he can claim
his bride; and so it comes that man
often has several wives, each living
near her own parents, while he visits
around among them and in case he gets
tired of one of them it causes no great
confusion, because she is still at home
and under her fathers care.

the scalp. Have this dressing rubbed
in the head and not over the hair. The
massage necessary to accomplish this
will remove scurf and stimulate the
ducts to action. To make this pOmade
use one ounce of pure glycerine with
six ounces of rose water if you want an
odor, or lukewarm water from the fau-
Get will do just as well.
If the hair continues to fall out or
split at the ends, cut it, comb and brush
it and keep on doing so until an i'm
proYement is noticed. Sunlight is in
valuable. Let it stream through the
loose hair whenever you can.
Here is harmless lotion which is
thought to be good stimulant: Get
one drachm of camphor, one draehm OF
borax, two tablespoOntuls of spirits of
wine, two tablespoonfuls of tineture of
cantharides, four drops of oil of roses
and one-half pint of rose water. Dis
solve the camphor and borax in the
spirits, add the Oil and tincture and
shake up gradually with the rose
water.

Schaumberg seat where the cinders
flew freely, that they might decide for
themselves whether she was willing to
bathe her face before arriving at Cape
May. To the surprise and, perhaps, dis
ccomfture of some present, Miss Schaum-
berg calmly took out her cologne bottle
and generously applied the contents to
her brow and cheeks. after which there
was no further question in her coterie
as to the genuineness of her bloom.

SlDly the single exception OF the new
fringe bordered coats on which the
yokes are outlinedin braid and wooden
fringe. All wrap and coat sleeves re-
main high on the shoulder. and are
quite full at the top, though the ex-
tremely full sleeve worn during the
winter will not be generally used.
An excellent model for spring is
coat reaching several inches below the
hips. This fits closely at the back and
around the hips, but is not fitted to the
waist in front. This coat is made of
heliotrope-faced cloth, finished with a
high standing collar, single square
cornered lapel and narrow cuffs covered
solidly with gold and black braid laid
on in parallel lines. The coat
closes down the front with a fly,
and is bordered above the fly
with narrow band of solid braiding.
Another coat is in two shades of faced
cloth, like tan and ecru, giving in one
piece the effect of close, armor-fitting
jacket of tan, fastened down the front
by tiny gold ball buttons, over which is
worn sleeveless jacket of ecru cloth,
parted to show the tan cloth the entire
length of the front. Simple high tan
sleeves with epaulets of the ecru
cloth finish the jacket.

The average woman stays in the house

She will take two hours to dress and

she has sudden chance to go to San

One often hears a tall woman say
when trying on large hat: ''Oh, I

why, it adds at least six inches to my
height, and l think 1 am tall enough

buy little bit of hat scarcely distin-

if she wore large hat the head would
appear larger and in better proportion

TAILoR-MADE SPRING COATS.

NGLISH tailors are

R'There are delicate

light heliotrope shown

the dark and neutral
shades, which will al

new coats are note
