HOW TO LOOK COOL SUDDENLY,

If you come in after long round of
shopping and receive a sudden summons
to tho parlor to meet some unexpected
guest, do not be lismayed at the crimson
lace which meets your eye as you stand
before your dressing table mirror Like
wise do not seek remedy in the bath
aoom. Many women think the only way
|" cool Off is to battle the face lavishlv
in cool water. This is great mistake,
and with a thin skin will only intensity
the color, and the last estate of this wo
man shall be worse than the first. Dash
the water on throat and neck as freely
as you choose, particularly at the back of
the neck, but if the face is bathcd at all
let it be done sparngly. thCn sponge it
with Florida water and lastly apply
generous coating Of rice powder. You
will look CHASTITY, but let the powder re-
main while you add the few necessary
touches to your toilet. Then, Just as
you are to descend to the paror dust off
all supcrhuous powder lightly, and you
will welcome your guest fresh and cool,
mot only in appearance, but in reality

His Reason.

In administering punishment IN
the navy different penalties carry
with them reduction to a lower con
duct class. OF these there are four,
the fourth being the lowest, and ono
placed in it is deprived Of shore Leave
for a period Of three months. EOl
some breach the executive officer OF
the United States ship Juniata found
it necessary to place a man on the
fourth class, who decided to Try t.
obtain mitigation OF his sent nee.
With this object in view, he sought
and obtained an interview with the
executive officer, when the following
conversation cnsucd: well, -,
you wanted to see me-" "Ies, sir, |
did. I wanted to know, Mr.. b,
why you put me on the fourth CLASP"

The Marie Aptoinette fchu of silk

The Marie Antoinette fchu of silk
muslin trimmed with lace is a great fav'
orite with the young ladies, to wear as
summer mantle.
Felix has brought out new sleeves for
summer dresses that are composed en-
tirely of frils of three-inch lace from the
shoulders; they are edged with Irish
guipure, bead fringe or pas.ementerie.
The notched lapel collar, which so often
appears on tailor-made gowns, loses
much of its severity when applied upon
the short, full waist of lately designed
street costume.
Slopcd cores let into the back of a
Longing gown produce graceful bell
effect, and an oddly shaped sailor collar
heightens the attlactivcncSs of the gar
ment.
A collarette that Is coming forward
in cotton gowns, and will be repeated in
wool later on, is a thrc-quartpr circle,
shaped to fit smoothly around the
shoulders, and folded to points in front
1t is effective in the stiff linen and heavy
cotton goods.
White braid is most used for the trim
ming of yachting costumes, though many
of the skirts are quite plain, the revcrs
of the coat being faced and the blouses,
Or shirt fronts, giving scope for color.
Linens this year are worn for quito
dressy occasions at the races. at garden
parties, summer church weddings, etc.
Their trim tailor make does much toward
Flax gray, pale and deep blue, ccru and
chocolate coIors arc all well worn among
the linens, ducks and piques Of the
season.
In evening dresses there is a radical
change in the sleeves. The large, full
puffs are gradually disappearing, and in
their place is bell shaped sleeve made
of flills lined with definite color; in
fact, all sleeves are becoming less pre-
tcntious, and in very little time the
grotesque and aggressive hump on the
top of the shoulder will subside alto
gethcr.
AS the chief idea just now IS TO be
cool, many ladies have adopted dark or
black crepon skirts, with which they
wear pale pink, pale blue, mauyc, yellow,
black or white tine y plated chiffon
blouscs ornamented with narrow inser
tons of Nalenciennes, Brugcs or guipurc
in black or bisc.
Designed expressly for deck and shore
wear is costume in cream serge, striped
with fine lines of dark blue. The short
jacket is faced with dark blue, and is
olnamentcd with knots and loops Of
white and gold cord The white linen
vest is fastened down the front with
small gilt buttons, and is left open at the
neck, to show collar and cravat. The
jaunty cap is of blue and white serge
and with the name of yacht printed on
the band.
A new and not particularly grac: full
fashion is that of plating bias bands of
silk in rose-ruching fashion and placing
them around the shoulders of lace capes.
The bands for plating are about ten
inches wide. A very wide sash-ribbon
was recently used on cape, being
plated very full and used to outline the
round yoke, the ends falling almost to
the hem of the skirt. Nine yards Of rib
bon were used in the plating.

A MARKETING COSTUME,

A neat costume for marketing may be
composed Of the following: A dress made
from some quiet wash silk or sateen,
with bed skirt and plain waist-onc or
two narrow rutiles may ornament the
skirt, while the waist may be cut low at
the neck, so that a shirt front can be
worn with it. A sailor hat with band
OF ribbon around it, pair of Isle thread
gloves, tan shoes and silk umbrella.
If your marketing dress is made of fan
mel OF cloth have several rows of machine
stitching around the bottom as finish.

The island Of Madagascar has two

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
DRESSES FOR AUTUMN.

Many handsome dress models for au-
umn wear show the bodice laced,
hooked, or buttoncd down the back---a
most becoming fashion on graceful fig
ure, and commendable one for certain
gowns if one has a maid or friend al
ways available, but if chance services
have to be depended upon, this graceful
style must be sacrificed, for be the arms
ever so long and patience like jobs, one
will never succeed in buttoning the gown

His Dog Stopped the Leak.

One of the few dogs worth having
IS owned by Silas Holbrook, of East
Hrpswell. Starting out from the
wharf in boat with his master the
other day the dog noticed that the
plug was out of the bottom of the boat
and the water was coming in. After
calling attention to the trouble he
placed his paw over the hole aud kept
the water out until his master found
the plug and replaced it.-Lewistoa

SLEEP.


ssed be the man that flrst invented
Don Quixote.
Sleep Is the kind physician
Forever at our call.
To comfort Is her mission
Whatever woes befall.
In hovel or in palace.
Where terror reigns, or malice,
She holds her sacred chalice
Ana seals the eyes OF all
Sleep is as sweet as summer
And comes as falls the dew;
No snafes can overcome her,
To man she's ever true.
She stills the strife Of foemen,
She soothes both prince and yoeman.
Her breast is barred to no man,
Her favor mortals sue.
Sleep is high-born maiden,
Queen almoner Of night;
Sweet dreams with which she's laden
Put all our cares to fight
Her face Is dark, yet tender,
Grit with supernal splendor,
Into her arms surrender
The weary, world-worn wight
She brews for ALI potion
Wherein we quench our woes;
Majestic, mild her motion
AS round the world she goes.
The sick oil wait her pleasure,
The poor man dreams of treasure,
The busy man has leisure;
To all she brings repose.
Sleep hath a gracious garden,
There asphodel doth blow,
Pale peoples plead for pardon,
Rare herbs rich spices grow.
Here, freed from each days burden
With Joy and ease for guerdon.
We rest as blithe as birds on
The leaves that inger low.
Snug refuge from the daytime,
Safe shelter from the storm,
sur dearest dreams have playtiIne,
Our fancy range takes form,
Like rain to thirsty flowers,
That droop for pearly showers,
Sleep shields US thro' dark hours
And guides US, safe and warm
Large gifts she lends the dreamer,
His genius then holds sway,
And high all bards esteem her
And prefer her to the day.
Good luck attends the lover,
His lady's face will hover
In fancy while stars cover
The earth, that's grim and gray
Sleep queens it DER the water,
Her sway is DER the land,
Death claims her as a daughter,
The fairest Of his band.
Serene, benign, immortal,
By her fair, ivory portal,
She waits for every mortal
To grasp him by the hand.
