FALL FASHIONS AND HOUSEHOLD
HINTS.

The designers of ball room costumes
| appear to be much more DESTROYS of
! eccentric effects than of grace or beauty.
Although these gowns frequently COM
bine all the qualities of beauty, their
extreme Oddity is sometimes attained
at even the cost of good taste. Fur is
combined with the gauziest of fabrics,
and jet and gold trimmings are used in
| abundance. Flowers, feathers, and in
tact almost anything to render an even
ing toilet elaborate, is within the
bounds of fashion. OF evening slippers
EteJkG says, "New evening slippers are
of gold, silver or black silk cord in
open work designs, sometimes enriched
with gems; the dainty rich stocking of
shade to match the costume shines
through the intersticeS, and sometimes
a rhinestone crescent or star Is set upon
a strap just over the instep. Other Slip
pers have eyelet holes at regular inter-
walls through which is passed a silk or
ribbon lacing.
SHOES, GLOVES, ETC.
In shoes, cloth tops are cOnsidesed
more dressy than kid, and the height of
fashion is attained when the tops are of
the same goods as the costume. Side
laced boots reaching to the knee are
considered very stylish, but they will
hardly be popular as so much patience
is required in putting them on.
Well matched gloves are essential to
a tasteful costume, and the variety of
colOrs i'll gloves this season rivals that
of the dress goods. The most striking
feature of the new gloves is the buttons,
which are very large. These may not
be altogether as pretty as small buttons,
but they are decidedly more convenient
and substantial.
The large corsage bouquet is a thing
of the past, and in it's stead we find a
beautiful rose with a stem about two
feet long. Gentlemen'S bOntOnnieres
are very large, however, and are
generally composed OF large Howers.
lief fr1fn For
feather ruche and boa, those made. of
reuelled silk are used. These are be-
coming and not costly:
GirdIes are very stylish, and any kind
of girdle is worn.
MILLINERY,
The black hats with their forests of
nodding plumes remind one of hearses,
they are so solemn looking, and If
perchance a flower or two nestles
amidst the sable pluinage, it seems as
If it were but part of the floral offer |
ings to the dear departed,
Like monster turtles are some of the |
hats in shape, and the reptile kingdom
is furthermore represented by the jetted |
and ieweled snakes which often COM |
poses an entire bonnet, and between
whose tolls appears, in the most utterly |
irrelevant manners, knot OF VloletS or i
a crimson-hearted rose.
Coquettish little Joques are made of
irridescent impian breasts or of the |
plumage of the golden pheasant; they |
90 with any costume, and as rule, are |
extremely becoming.
The Stanley hat-named in honor OF /
the explorer's-is round in shape with /
a very narrow brim, round pulled /
crown, and single quill feather erect |
IN one side.
Violets appear to be the favorite mi Ii /
merry blossom, for they peep out from
folds of black velvet, yellow gauze or
even blue; the blue mus however, be OF \
that very pale greeniSh TINT, or the con-
-. aitaa hi
placed in juXtaposition with fur, the
mingling of winter and spring being /
some hat anOmalous.-Menlphi IfDles-I
Styles OF DRESS.
Among women there are two distinc-
tive schools of dress, the mannish and
The fourreau skirts, the tailor-made
Jackets, the four in-hand tie and the
waistcoat may be classed among the
adherents of the masculine cult.
In contrast those who have adopted
as their own the draperies or the pictur
ssque fashions of the middle ages be-
long to the thoroughly feminine school;
the latter class have long since adjured
bodice, the derby hat and the mannisb Il
lie. Each school has it's adherents, and |
1t must be acknowledged that each one
co some extent is in the right. Certain
variety is much to be desired.-Er-

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
a few drops of ammonia in a cupful
of warm water applied carefully will re-
move spots from paintings.
To prevent tin pans from rusting, rub
fresh lard on them, and set in hot
oven until thoroughly heated and then
rub OFF.
When the hands are stained used salt
and lemoa juice; this will take OF stains,
and render the hands soft and white.
Soak clothes that fade, overnight in
water, in which has been dissolved one
ounce of sugar of lead to a pailful of rain
water.
Don't rub your fl CO with a coarse
towel; Just remember 1t is not made of
cast iron; and treat it as you would the
finest porcelain-gent y and delicately.
To loosen shoppers Of toilet bottles,
let drop of oil flow aroI n the stopper

it does not loosen, add another drop of
oil.
