The young society bellies picture recently

paper. Her numerous associates compli-

but TO their surprise she professed TO be-
quite angry over the horrid fact OF see

detested such vulgar display-so she said.

''Oh. my! oh, my, could stand il my

who was one of the party Of friends.
This sentiment was generally applauded
by a half dozen lady friends. and finally

Diversions OF the Married Man Left
Home All Alone I'm Summer Time.
From the Buffalo Courier.
The observant stay-at-home-one who
does a little prowling at night-cannot fail
to notice the increasing number Of midnight
lamps which illumine the shades of the
second-story windows. Midnight gas Jets
come nearer the truth, for men are unani-
Nous in their scorn for kerosene and go
into open revolt against 1t as soon as
adam Is safely out of town.
Yes, the number of midnight lamps is in
creasing. for no sooner does the deserted
husband find himself privileged to do as he
pleases. and free from that call-so haras-
sing when he Is in the middle of an exciting
story-"John, aren't you coming to bed?'-
then he buys and borrows quantities of
"all-Overish" literature turns on all the
gas. gets out bottle of something wet and
plate of something dry, and proceeds to
take his summer read
The summer is the only season in which
he Is able to crafty the hunger Of his dear
est wish-that of reading In bed For, no
matter where he may select his bedroom
upstairs or down-his light Is sure to dis
turb his sensitive partner and to inspire
repeated protests against his unreasonable
course. She Is always afraid that he is 60
ing to injure his health or his eyes, and
finally. in ostensible Difference to her
wishes. he gives the thing up a hopeless
case, and resolves to wait until she has
gone for the summer before resuming his
favorite dissipation.
Then, after he has taken the whole family
to the train seen that the luggage is on,
put all the bags and bundles and the three
children in the wrong sections, and then
had to change them all back again; after he
has gone back again to the ticket office to
see why their sections are not all together
and then had to run back in order to get
the checks to his wife before the train pulled
out: after he has received any number of
hasty moist kisses and bear-like hugs from
the boys, he PUSHES out, steps from the
moving train with the air of a man who
can do that sort of thing extremely WELL
and then saunters up the street in a care
less. Objectless way. AS there is nothing
to hurry home for. he amuses himself with
the windows and the people on the streets
but 1t proves an unexciting pastime, and he
takes the car for home.
There in the airy solitude Of the second
story. with the doors and windows wide
open, and the gas all on. he plunges into
the adventures of Stanley Weyman's heroes,
or reads the back numbers of "Trilby," or
perchance. forsaking the moderns, goes
back to the D'Artagnon romances and lives
again the life of the Three Musketeers."
One o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock strike and
still he reads on. At first he reads guilty,
as one who fears to be surprised In some
criminal act. but by the end of the week he
will have grown accustomed to doing as he
pleases. and will no longer expect the voice
OF rebuke from his drowsy mate.

A woman who can plan becoming gown

first place, too many women adopt style
because IL is new and catches their fancy,
and pay no attention to its becomngness.
A few general rules. II observed, would soon
demonstrate the truth of my statement.

American women: They do not give time

So" The criticism is just. Any woman
who has a particle of regard for her per-
sonal appearance will study her face for

studies her figure when she Is contemplating
a new gown. She selects her material and
the mode for ii with strict reference 10 her
particular style. And SO she Should do when

she Is a perfect little saint. An authority
on hair says that the latest style Of Golf

coil or knot, as fancy dictates, taking care

wearing fresh flowers in the hair. Roses

very pretty old fashion is revived for

Crepes are also extensively worn, and
make a dainty evening gown. The beauti-
full crinkled surface Of the ice crepe is also
very effective, being twenty-five inches In
width, and retais for about $150 per yard
When worn with a MORE taffeta skirt
this crepe is very effective and pretty.
For an inexpensive dancing gown Egyp-
tan crepe is very highly recommended; the
width Is the same as Ice crepe, and is about
one-third cheaper; an additional advantage
is that the material Is the same on both
sides. This can be procured In all the new

trimming of white gowns. Tulip green is

1t Is undeniably true that a great many
women would be much more comedy look
Ing il they understC cd their own faces and
could arrange their hair in accord with
them Good grooming is as necessary to a

horse. In fact, the word groom is very
well applied to both men and women with
regard to their personal appearance A

let woman's crowning beauty go uncared

1t is such an easy matter to keep the hair
looking we'll that one can but be amazed
at the lack of attention paid to one of the
most attractive features of a woman. The
hair should be brushed and combed at least
twice a day. If the scalp is at all inclined
to have dandrun II, some mild tonic
should be applied. What will seem to make
one woman's hair healthy will not always do
for another, but there is one tonic that Is
always good. and that is quinine and bay
rum. Sixty grains of quinine to a pint Of
bay rum. 1t does not make the hair greasy
and sticky. and Is particularly cooling and
refreshing to O fevered scalp. 1t will not
keep the hair from curling, either. 1t should
be applied in the evening. just before re-
firing. and II two applications are neces-
sary, put 1t on again In the morning.
How to Wash the Hair.
The hair should be washed at least once
a month in summer. but does not need 1t so
often in winter. You can wash the life out
of your hair by dabbling with 1T too often.
You should use soft water IL possible and
then white CASTLE soap IS all the other in

water put in II a plentiful portion of borax
and rinse the head well. Do not subject
