Hair brushes with inlaid backs WHICH
should not get a wetting may have the
bristles cleaned by rubbing them vigor-
ously with powdered pipe clay; but if
a little care is used the bristles may
be washed without dampening the
backs of the brushes Take two dishes
little more thar an inch in depth-deep
pie plates will answer. Put small
lump of soda in one of the vessels and
fill the dish with boiling water Stand
the brush in this and shake the bristleS
about until they seem quite clean and
white; then plunge the bristles up and
down in the other dish, which should
be full of cold water, to which lemon
juice or vinegar has been added to-
whiten the bristles. The cold bath
after the boiling water stiffens the
bristles again and keeps the brush in
good condition.
Sleeves are an all-engrossing topic
at any time, but especially so IN their
present transition from puffiness to
sparseness. A pretty compromise has
stimulated puffs fastened at the Shout
der and hanging something like monks
hoods behind the upper arms. The
sleeves are tight and smooth, reaching
only 10 the elbow, with a couple on
lace hoUnces at the bottom. The res%
of the bodice is made basque fashions
with a muslin yoke and embroidered
vest. Immense loops Of ribbon stand
out from the collar on each side. and
bretelles of muslin are knotted at he
shoulders and at the top OF the vess
on each side.
Skirts are also in a transition state.
They are somewhat narrower and will
be trimmed. One of the new skirts has
fans of light silk set on like cores all
around. This skirt is worn with
waist that has its two sides unlike.
Both sleeves have rather bOuffant
puffs at the top, but one of them is
untrimmed while the other is almost
covered with the double hounces that
start at the right shoulder and grow
narrower and disappear under a RIB
bon at the wrist.
The newest hat trimmings and the
ones that will be worn in spite of the
proteStations of societies for the pre-
vention of bird slaughter are those
/ beautiful birds with magnificent, long
osprey feathers in their wings and
tails. One Of them set up in the front
of a nose hat" with a little tulle or
| mOusseline for a background, is suf-
fcient trimming for a hat and it is
well that it is SO, for they are very
I expensive. Many Of these have already
appeared on the summer hats. and
they will be even more numerous in
the autumn.
/ The new kind of hand-shake, ''in
! high secOnde," as the language of fenc-
I ing goes, was, and perhaps is, popular
with third-rate smart people" who
/ had a baronet for a cousin or an uncle
I who was a colonel in the army, says
the London Daily News. These BRAIN
I less beings had probably heard thai
/ some prince or princess shook handA
/ in high seconde, perhaps because H. q
/ H. had hurt his royal arm. or for some
such blameless reason. This theory
/ of the origin Of the high crook is a
mere conjecture. but surely no less
potent cause could have brought in the
/ custom of raising the hand above the
shoulder" OF course, the custom has
+ reached America, and, being totally
/ senseless in its inception, has been ini-
tated by the citizens. The gregarious-
ness of human nature, it's bovine imi-
| tativenesS, has never been more oddly
illustrated than by the transatlantic
adoption Of a secOnd-rate freak of
British misses and British "Johnnies."
The fact illustrates the old anecdotes
of how rufus were universally worn
because a royal person had a, scar on
her neck. Westward the course Of
folly takes it's way, for a similar va
gary of New York would not soon de-
vastate this island.
The old shake-hand is the only true
shake-hand, and it ought TO be studied
and practiced, in all its delicacies, by
the young man who would succeedN in
life. He must know how to be bluff
and hearty; how to be caressing and in
sinuating, yet mot too bold" and he
must never be lifeleSS or Indifferent.
for people resent this attitude. Prob
badly Hazlit was so much hated be-
cause to shake hands with him was
like grasping a cold boiled founder

We certainly do worry a great deal
