Pretty women,

appearance by being well dressed. Dress
goes long way toward making the female
form divine more divine than ever.
When refer to pretty women, don't
mean the artificial or drug store
product. like to see, and so do you,
pretty woman who has common sense
enough not to seem conscious
OF her attractiveness and who II she
can, dresses in becoming taste. You
know, ladies, that there Is such thing as
overdressing. You know that while you
are allowed to use most artistically deli
cate powder and . little rouge now and
then, you will acknowledge that 1t Is hard
work to improve on Nature.
II now after the evening meal has been
discussed you will sit in your favorite
rocking chair, and while husband lights
his cigar and plays with the baby, or
throws The News over to you with the
remark, "Corbett has something which
will interest you this evening"" just
turn your pearly ears this way and we
will for moment discuss the styles in
dress goods, which are now on exhibition.
OF course i am not professional writer
on fashion, and all Lshall call your atten-
tiop TO is, what i found to be the leading
fabrics, with q hint as TO what they are
called.
First OF all do you know the names of
the new shades in velvetY DO you know
anything OF what is imported this year
in foreign dress goods? Do you know
anything about tho self lined Scotch clan
plsids for Golf cspes? Well now listen to
confession. I didn't know thing
about the detail OF such things so dear
to the feminine heart until last Saturday
morning.
Twill tell you how 1t was.
sign across the doorway Of the dry
goods emporium of the IA. w. Ladd Co.,
informed me that there was upon the
the third floor Of this establishment dis
play OF imported dress goods and l made
so bold as to 60 to the designated place
where was met bya very pleasant lady
who finding out my errand introduced
me TO one OF the gentlemen in charge and
from that on 1t was all clear sail
ing. Well, now listen. Crepons
in self and combined coorings are to
be the rage. The Boucle effects in all the
new shades of brown, green and blue were
noticesbly displayed. Stripes OF the Bay
edere order in new combinations of color
will be very popular. / saw some of the
finest shades in velvet and the new colors
called cerise and biuet were particularly
noticeable. The plaid lined goods for golf
capes were among the bewildering lot of
novel importations. Collarettes and stock
collars will be muc b worn was informed,
and Mrs. Jeanne Carr, who has just re-
turned from Europe with all the secrets of
the foreign modistes, will continue to
superintend the dressmsking department,
Did you ever have the blues?
They say Monday is blue day usually.
Well, perhaps 1t is, but IL you try real
hard to be blue guess you can be SO most
any day. But it doesn't pay to be blue.
Better be pleasant. Don't cry, for the
man doesn't care. Do you know that II you
associate with people who are prone to
be more likely to get into their ways?
Look pleasant.
No one cares for your society II you have
the sulks or blues, and whenever you do
happen to smile 1t is like cutting ice.
Don't get blue. Cheer up, cheer up, and
see il you don't feel better.
] met a person the other day who bought
a velvet carpet two years ago, for which
was paid $50. 1t was made and laid to
fit the rooms, front and back parlor and
they went to housekeeping. Things
changed as things will and the husband
had to break up housekeeping on account
of being assigned other territory by the
house he worked for. For time he lived in
a good-sized town in Massac husetts and
furnished his own rooms. Then he moved
to Worcester and went housekeeping
there and finally got tired and
stored the furniture and went West.
They returned to Providence the
other day and started housekeeping again.
They had their goods sent down from
Worcester and the carpet which had been
cut and recut TO III different rooms had
shrunk so that it would hardly cover a
small room.
Then it was that they realized the worth |
and the sensible custom which il now sa
much in vogue OF using rugs. Rugs |
sdorn all their rooms, sitting room, din |
ing room and bed rooms. They look COM |
Portable and rich, can be easily |
taken up and cleaned and are |
preferable in every way to car
pets. Tomorrow morning commencing at |
10 80 o'clock, at 110 and 1l2 Westminster
street, the buying public OF Providence
gho wish to furnish or refurnish their
houses, will find very rare opportunity
offered in the auction sale of a magnif- |

by =. Il. Donchisn OF Hartford, Conn.
They are beauties and will go to the high.
,st bidder. IL not perfectly satisfactory
hey may be returned and the money less
he auctioneer's commission will be cheer
ully refunded.
They both looked into each others eyes and
aid that 60 be ever separated in life would be
worse than death so they decided 10 die to-

Now what do you think of a couple OF
