a bunch or two of violets is as much pur-

1t with less discretion, perhaps, than bru-

better ponder deeply and seriously before
she permits it to come rear her.
Magenta is a no less trying color. A

solute repose only in those who have run
the race and are in possession. People of
easy fortune and little business worry 1t
is seen in the authority and dignifed con-
hdence of the actor who has earned his
fame; in the exalted assurance and imme-
date sympathy of the orator who has won
his iaurels.
But the fever of pursuit almost burns out
the beauty of attainment in this world of
ours. All this despite the counsels of men
of science and the apostles of beauty. The
raVages of the great eXactions of society
are an old subject; but the establishment of
proper relation with the world in small
and trifiing affairs which, after all, make
up the big end of life is not so old, and may
well be worth serious thought. Repose of
manner is one of the first things to be
sought. An owl isn't as pretty as a hum
ming bird, but it has reputation for a lot
more sense, and 1 know lots of society wo-
men who would boom their social stock by
initiating the repose of the owl.
The Purple Craze.
The purple craze is something wonder
full to behold. And the people that wear
it! One would thing that Washington
had an epidemic of jaundice. when the
fact of the matter is so many women are
wearing purple who should not Any of
the shades of purple must be used with
prudence. even in a house gown. 1t COM
bines effectively with many colors, but
the proper shade of those colors is not
easy to determine. One of the favorite
colCrs is yellow. For hats and bonnets
1t combines effectively with light green,

l saw recently on blonde will bear repro
duction in almost any color of satin or vel
vet 1t was French confection and cost
its owner ten dollars. A versatile American
girl can make one exactly like it for about
a dollar.
The foundation was a piece of common
bonnet wire, the round heavy kind. 1t was
twisted into Mary Stuart point in front
and the back was simply oval TO fit the
head. Around this wire was a loose twist
OF petuna velvet, which covered it entirely.
Standing up from the point in front was a
coquettish bow of the velvet with many
pointed ends, and two or three heads of
gilded wheat. In the center of the back
vas another hyaway bow of the velvet, but
not standing as high, and a narrow twist
of the petunia velvet came down around the
Diana knot and fastened with a tiny but
terfly bow just under the edge of the hat
Inc fair hair OF the wearer was waved and
curled in defiance of the cry that bangs and
waves are out and the little velvet affair
was as becoming as could be. The same
idea could be adapted to suit any face nv
bending the wire differently, and changing
the arrangement of the bows. OF course II
is only a kind of head-dress, but 1t is so
very pretty 1t ought to take well. Another
faVorite is twist of ribbon with coronet
setting of jeweled flowers in front and
sprays running back to meet tiny choux
of ribbon just above the knot of hair.
Needed Repose.
At social function the other day made
up my mind that one of the essential needs
Of the average society woman is repose.
Economic repose, if you please. 1 had made
the rounds of the Eat homes" and, worn
out, sat down to chat for moment with a
lady of the "old school," 1t was a positive
rest to me. She sat still in her chair didn't
twist her feet, and never once adjusted her
bangs. She had in her hands two or three
long-stemmed roses one of the "buds'' had
given her. but except to lift them to enjoy
their perfume now and then, she seemed to
be unconscious of them. She neither
smoothed the fingers of her gloves nor pull
ed them higher on her arms. 1 never met a
woman who seemed to have the world un
der her feet more absolutely than she She
