wood in which we are travelling; it
touches with light even our sleep,
which is no more the image of death,
but gemmed with dreams that are the
shadows Of Immortality
Red hands are often benefited by be-
ing washed in oatmeal water-that is,
take some fine oatmeal, boil it in water
for about on hour, strain, then night
and morning use the liquid to wash in;
it, however, requires to be made fresh
every day, as it so soon turns sour,
and smells very disagreeable. For eX-
ceptionally red and harsh hands, a few
grains of chloride of lime may be safe
ly added to the soft warm water you
wash them in. but remember to re-
move your rings, or they will be tar
nished.
A very becoming hat is a rich yell
low straw with tall black crown. 1t
has a pale green gauze ruching lying
round and on the brim, with pink roses
above, and two plumes at the side.
The back is lifted up to show the
roses beneath. One of the smartest
hats seen is of yellow straw, but with
low. well fitting black straw crown.
The fat brim is trimmed with a long
with green leaves and buds laid around
from the front along the side. On the
left is tall aigrette of peoples and a
big ruffle bow of black satin ribbon.
The brim is slightly raised to reveal
a bow Of poppy red taffeta ribbon set
under against the hair
Another chic model of the sailor
shape in rough cream straw, with mod
flied bell crown, has a green MORE

with green chiffon. The brim is lined
with green chiffon just showing an
edge OF the straw. Bunches of large
single violets adorn each side with a
branch of leaves and buds rising high
on the left and another lower on the
right.
The elegant combination of black
and white appears among some of the
most elaborate and elegant toilets
worn at fashionable watering places
this summer, as well as among gowns
for general wear. A very handsome
dress worn this week at a famous sum-
mer resort was made with a full gored
skirt of white satin duchess, with a
bodice of black and white striped satin,
lavishly trimmed with white Venetian
lace laid over black silk Chantilly. The
waist was cut square front and back,
with the black and white lace garni-
lures framing the opening and falling
over the full elbow sleeves formed Of
white Venetian net over black tulle.
The effect of the whole was cool, beau
tiful and most becoming. White and
cream colored taffeta silks dotted or
striped with black velvet ribbon over
laid with white guipure or Honiton
lace insertion. A stylish gown worn
at an evening reception recently was
made of white satin brocade with deep
empire girdle and fiat epaulets that
spread out above the rather small Stu
art sleeve puffs of the brocade. The
epaulets were richly decorated with
Russian point lace en- applique, giving
the effect of rich white embroidery
wrought upon the velvet. The Medict
collar was similarly decorated.
The stiff white and colored shirt
waist fronts are not worn so generally,
and fewer stiff white collars are seen
with lawn shirt waists, the softer and
more feminine band of ribbon, with a
bow at the back, taking its place.
Elbow sleeves are much affected with
a band of ribbon holding the sleeve in
place. to- match the neck ribbon.
Cool linen and duck suits, with jacket
to match, are also very popular for
morning wear, and are even seen at
the fashionable resorts, where many
of the visitors seem to go in for COM
fort rather than style.
White lawn and pique frocks are the
most popular wear for girls, with diff
erent colored ribbons to suit the oc-
casion and give a touch Of color to the
toilet The white lawn gowns are made
with from two to three ruffies edged
with lace about the skirt, the waist
being ornamented with clusters Of
tucks and insertion.
The simple but pretty skirt known as
the umbrella shape is still much used,
while ladies who are inclined to be
stout have the fullness arranged in
small tucks on the sides of the front
width, and on each hip.
There are a great many more bangs
