Folly OF Present Dress STYLES.

A woman whose mind is so constituted
that II asks for reasons, and Is uneasy
when the reasons do not appear, speaks in
this wise:
"Paniers have no place on n dress, be-
cause they suggest rude labor. Tho
opened skirt was turned back on the hips
and fastened behind TO preserve the over
garment in work hours. There was a
significance when Vatican painted pam
iers on his mock shepherdesses which is
lost when the idea of humble service is
not 10 be suggested.
The overskirt has it's origin in the
apron, or perhaps. In the habit domestics
have OF tucking up the skirt to keep it
clean. It's front must be so made, there
fore, that il let down il would fall just to
the edge OF the underskirt, for iflonger or
shorter IL has no excuse for being.
"A cloak should never have hood at
the back, unless 1t is n hood that could
really be drawn up over the head, so that
the eye seeing it lie in folds on the neck
may be satisfied that IL has fallen from
the hair and can be replaced at any time.
Skirts should never be caught up in
folds unless some purpose can be suggest
ed. The only logical reason TO justify
looping is that the skirt is too long, so
that IL must be apparent to the eye that
IL the looping were let out tho skirt would
more than reach the floor. Loopings In a
skirt which also have trains have no
meaning"

For HOtiiCes.

Never use satine as lining for bodice
which is to be tight and plain. In cutting
both lining and material. SEQ that each
piece has the waist-line straight across
the goods, so that the back will pull firmly
in close, even line around the figure. II
the armhole is large in the back make al
terations In the side pieces. In tacking
lining and material always keep the lining
the looser Of t1e two. and below the waist
line downward pull tho material down
until, though material and lining are cut
exactly the same, the material is fully a
quarter Of an inch longer than the lining,
When the figure Is thin the front OF the
shoulder should be strained in tacking
TO the back, and the curved side piece
should be held little more tightly than
the back to avoid wrinkles. A very i'm
portant matter in the finishing OF a bodice
is the boning, The prussian binding
used as casing, should be thin and put
on slightly full. The whalebone should be
fastened at the bottom first, then push
down hard and fasten at the top and also
at the waist.

The Fall Hair Color.

Reddish brown hair will be worn this
fall, said the proprletress Of a Baltimore
hair-dressing establishment whose opin-
ions are regarded as DEGREES.
Glossy, well-groomed braids OF rich
reddish brown color will be colled around
the shapely heads OF Baltimore women
who wish TO be in fashion, says the Sun of
that city. Bleache hair Is entirely out
OF favor, and with IL all tho dry, chippy,
straggly effects that have been popular
so long. A sort OF varnish has been pre-
pared which will bring the color OF the
blonde locks back TO the desired color.
The liquid is put on with a small brush,
drawn across few strands at a time,
from the roots to the ends. The day after
the varnish is put on the hair Ia washed,
and the color is then permanent, or at
least for so long as Dame Fashion de-
crees that reddish brown is to be the favor

now TO CHOOSE LACE.
The Most Fashionable Fabric Now-How
to Clean It.

Point lace is never washed until after It
has been worn. The makers take the ut
most pains TO keep IL white and clean, and
generally succeed In so doing. In spite of
them. though, sometimes IL turns yellow
or gets soiled, in which case IL Is either
chalked or loaded into whiteness. Chalk
Is comparatively harmless. It Is easily
beaten out In wearing. II IL lies undis-
turbed for long though, Ii injurcs the
texture by eating the threads. Lead is
simply deadly. It Is rubbed into the fabric
and stiffens IL TO the point OF breaking.
Besides IL turns dark by contact with IL

dark woolen surface and crease a thick
wooden nounce betwixt the bare thumb
and finger. Chalk leaves a faint mark on
the wool; lead Is palpable to the finger
tips. II either is present in quantity let
alone that particular pattern.
Lace Of loss than the first water can be
cleaned beautifully by putting 1t in glass
or earthern vessel, covering IL with strong
white soap-suds and summing IL one or

looks clean rinse II in plenty Of blood
warm water, fold without wringing and
press out the water by laying IL under
weights between thickly folded towels.
Then pull out the edge between the fin
gers and thumb and pin out to dry upon q
bed or pillow. Never touch 1t with an
iron. II is little short OF sacrilegc.

"I wish TO tell tho sufferer from weak

pondent, who has apparently given the
subject much thought and practical effort.
Four years ago my husband was almost
helpless with dyspepia. He consulted two

hours. The rest Of tho family liked this
