Rar Harbor, Ne, Aug. H-There are all
sorts and conditions of traps, from the
tinv donkey cart filled with merry chill
dren. TO the large landau from which some
dowager looks out upon the world with
an air Of supreme dignity. There are pref
~ girls and ugly girls; well-dressed and
addressed, but the pretty girls are in
the majority. and good dressing is rath-
OF the rule than the exception. The
laughter of a millionaire is wearing a
white organdie with tiny green leaves
mon it, and trimmings of green ribbon,
and in harmony she wears a hat of white
chin trimmed with green, and carries
a white chiffon parasol And the woman
who doesn't know says: Isn't it sweet
and simpler Certainly it is sweet, GER
tainly it is simple in effect; but if you
could see the bill sent in by the French
rnodiste, you would understand that one

silk. and the dainty ribbons show, If you
examine them closely, the same figure
that is on the material, and this proves
that they were specially woven for this
Gown. And the innocent young man i'm
agines that it cost very little, because II
IS nothing but a cotton frock, and yet,
without the duty, there was $40 paid Tor
it So much for simplicity.
One is forced to notice as the carriages

a growing evil, and that is the use OF
paint For some time 1t has been very
common in England, the reason for Its
existence being that her imperial sweet

GOOD looks 1t is a well-known TACT In
London that the horrible mop of hair to
which she so persistently clings, Is wig
and that all the young princesses please
her best by arranging their own natural
locks after this horrible coinure. IL is
yvbispered that she possesses fifty wigs,
and that each takes its turn. A COM
plexion must be adapted to wig. AS the
leader of fashion in London uses paint,
all her set do, and the undesirable haplt
is certainly growing here. You need only
watch the carriages as they pass to be
certain of it, and, with little thought
YOU can tell exactly where each woman
learned to paint, whether it was IN Paris
or London. The English woman is per-
fectly frank in her use of the red saucer.
She puts a dab of the color on each
cheek bone and another on her chin, ana

The French woman puts a little on her
cheek below the bone, and tones II with

the tip of the chin, on. the lobe OF each
ear and Just inside each nostril. l can
not understad why this last is done, Tor
the impression is given that the painted
one has a sore nose, and this certainly
is not pretty.

and black and the blue, decidedly better
than does her sister who has learned to

this young woman arrives she nrst IN

With this she battles the face OF her pa

she uses for the bathing a soft linen rag.

linen CLOTH on which has been poured
mixture of glycerine and rose water, the
face is wiped off; then with chamols
fine powder is evenly applied. After this,
the crayon pencil, which has been SOFT

eyelids Just above the lashes. If, by any

young woman, who likes to look DID, CIV

liquid rouge simply to the nostrils. The
result is really corpse-like; and yet, there

AS the carriages roll by, the hats worn
by the women look like movable flower
gardens, for they are burdened with huge
limitations of the blossoms of the field,
the garden and the conservatory. From
orchids to buttercups, from roses to
daisies, every flower is seen. One pretty
woman who affects violets for her gowns,
violets for her perfume and violets for
her flowers, is moving violet this after
noon. Her gown is a violet crepe; the
cape about her shoulders is formed of
ruffies of cream-colored lace, alternating
with frills made of punches of violets,
while her hat, huge white chip one, has
punches of violets on the outside of the
brm, under the brim, and great bunch
OF violet leaves stands high up at the
back of the chapeau. Her parasol match
es her cape, and lying at her feet, on the
floor of the victoria, are innumerable
punches of natural violets, which look as
Il they had been thrown there, so that she
might walk upon their sweetness
