A great deal has been said about black
hosiery going out Of fashion, but it seems
to hold its own yet and is still considered
the correct style unless the hosiery matches

THE BIRD SLAUGHTER.

the Work Cruel.

At an auction room in London not long
since Were sold 404, 900 birdskins from
the West Indies and Brazil as well as $780,
600 from the East Indies All these were
of choice and brilliant colors and designed
for millinery purposes. This wholesale
slaughter is being continually carried on
at home and abroad by birdcatchers, some
so called sporting men and thousands of
other nondescripts regularly engaged in
tho wicked traffic, and who are well paid
for their work. Birds wings are in great
demand for ladies' bonnets, and as a con-

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Dressings That Are Neither Untidy Nor
Harmful.


Harmful.
The use Of oils on the hair has gone out
Of fashion, but there are many persons to
whom something of this sort is almost
necessity. The hair becomes so dry that
its beauty Is gone, and in addition it is so
badly nourished that 1t loses its strength
and luster. In such cases little fine oil
Is the proper remedy Those who have
very dry and rough hair, especially If sub
ject to pain and foverishness in the head,
will do well to try some softening applica-
tion at least as an experiment.
1t is said that an ounce of glycerin to a
pint of rosewater with two or three
grains Of quinine, thoroughly shaken to-
gether, makes an excellent hair tonic. The
trifle Of glycerin gives 1t softness and
moisture and very pretty gloss. Care
must bo taken, however to keep the head
away from dust as much as possible, for
the glycerin will hold 1t and soon make
the most beautiful braid dull and grimy
looking. 1t is a question indeed If dry
ness is not preferable to the moisture given
by most dressings at least in the city,
where the atmosphere Is full of minute
cinders, and where frequent washings are
necessary in order to keep the hair clean,
even when no sticky or oily hairdressing
is used. Hair should be neat to tho touch
as we'll as to the eye, and excessive dry
ness would seem to indicate the need of
tonic for the general health rather than
local treatments. Quassia water is con.
sidered by some persons to be beneficial to
the hair, and 1t has at least tho negative
virtues Of being neither untidy nor harm
full.

Waists of separate material still hold

that show tendency toward making skirts

with plain skirts. An advanced style sent

TAILOR MADE AND OTHER GOWNS.
Fall Fashions In Colors, Qualities, Styles
and Trimmings.

The Marie Antoinette flchu, especially

dainty an accessory as could be devised

1t is rather pity that tailor made gowns
are not universally becoming, as they are

many Acars ago.
For the past two years littlo girls fash
ions, like those of their mothers, have
shown an approach to those of 40 years
ago. but tho approach has not been near
enough, fortunately, to warrant the odious
pantalet in thrusting itself into the eye of
the public. So far only the more attract
i've features Of that earlier period have
been reviyed-short stockings, short sleeves
and sunbonnets. There is something very
pleasing about the baby waists, full skirts
and ankle ties that our mothers wore when
they were children, q simple and infantile
look that the clothing of the little girl of
today seldom has. Too often she seems
like young lady cut down in q costume

attire of her grown sister.
Tho dimity and lawn gowns in which
little people have been keeping so fresh
and cool this summer must soon give place
to heavier clothing. Gingham, pique ana
duck such as little boys suits are often
made of, can be worn far into the fall, but
muslins are on the eve of disappearing un-

popular as ever, while golden brown is
also much liked. A fall coat for girl

CINNAMON ROSES.

From Harper's Bazaar,
IL is but break in the woodland
This wall of young poplar encloses;
There Is not a trace of n dwelling
Save only these cinnamon roses.
A glow like cloud of the morning,
Each bloom with it's hearts hidden gold
The dear theshold flowers of New England
Our grandmothers cherished of old.
All sweet with their fragrance, the soutl
wind
Swaps softly the boughs to and fro;
ave planted those t1owers.' low whisper
Floats down from the dim long ago.
Who We're they? We know not; the wild
wood
The place with its green wall encloses;
A home that has vanished forever,
Still lives in its cinnamon roses.
