Fashions in COUTURE.


Quaint; Simple Modes Becoming to Beauty
but Trying to Plain Women.
The world belongs to pretty women
and the fullness thereof is theirs, let
the wise ones argue as they will of in
tellectual superiority and spiritual
beauty. To the woman with the fair
les gift all else shall be added, partic-
ularly in the domain of dress. 1t is for
the pretty woman that modes are made
and exquisite fabrics wrought. She
needs the consideration of the designer
much less than palmer woman. but she
receives it all the more in deplorably
unjust ratio. Particularly this season
does the plain woman feel bitterness
in her soul at being deprived, through
no fault of her own, of her birth-right.
For every fashion now demands the
sweet and gentle type of beauty known
to the Amelias and Chorillas of by
gone day before higher education and
smartness and swagger came in. The
style of couture prevalent only a Ro-
mola or one of Miss Muloch's low
ingness. for the very latest thing in hair
dressing, copied from the old-time
mode, has smooth and glossy tresscs
combed trinity down on either side a
fine white parting, to be twisted in a
soft coil at the back. This style of
couture demands a delicate, youthful
face, low, broad forehead, and an ex-
quisitely nodded head. Another STYLE.
much affected by young girls, is a mod
itication of the 1920 style, with ringlets
falling down either side the face from
a parting, the hair knotted high in a
puff in the center. The expression to
be worn with this couture should be
one of sweet modesty and gentle uno-
pinionatedness.
Still smarter and becoming to the
full-fedged belle or youthful matron
is that couture in which the hair is
tossed back from the forehead to fall
in soft, careless curls at the side or in
a single curl in the middle of the fore
head. Some women of the DARK, Spanish
type, with faultlessly regular features,
dare attempt this style of couture with
no curls, and the smooth hair combed
back lightly to the twist. Handsome
women are distinguished, intellectual
women striking, with this sort of franz
ing. The woman who isn't SO sure of
herself and her beauty will part her
now dishonored bang little at the
side, perhaps, and leave the soft fringe
to fall over her forehead, and the
petite style of woman, who has an
irregular sort of beauty, waves her
hair in tangle of curls, that fall back
apparently in spite of her, to flutter
over her brow, while the sweet-faced
woman, with the small and pretty head
and not a great deal of time to think
of herself or her beauty any way un-
consciously copies the Mrs. Cleveland
soiffure, the soft, wavy hair .combed |

knot at the center of the head

WASHINGTON BACK YARD.

As the summer season has faded
into autumn the delicate blossoms
OF the tropical plants have disappeared,
the more hardy beauties of colder
Chimes have come to gladden. the eyes
OF the lovers of nature, and the busy
gardeners and attendants of the horti-
cultural department have had their
hands full in changing the plants as
their respective seasons opened and
closed.
True, the average visitor takes little
heed OF these things He casts an ad-
miring glance at the bright blossoms

have been SO unfortunate as to drop
grease upon the mating, do not try
ammonia, or benzine or grease ex-

worse, says Jenness-Miller. Sometimes
brown paper and a hot iron will be
effective, but the best eradicator is
French chalk and benzine. Cover the

by sprinkling, not pouring the benzine
upon it. When the benzine has evapo-

quite easy to make up remnants into

follows: Chop the veal very fine; chop
small onion and fry it a delicate

add a half teaspoonful of -four, little
