II woaLAN's REALM.
Women have been making study of
the effect gowns of various colors have
on the disposition. They have finally
arrived at the conclusion that white
dispels the blues; yellow and scarlet
invite hilarity; gray is conducive to
4 calmness; pink makes one feel young,
( pleasant and amiable, and the girl in
pale blue is sentimental, with just a
touch of vivacity. There is more truth
than poetry III all this. Try it and you
viii see. 1t is told of Wagner that in
all his compositions he was assisted
+ by various hued draperies. Invariably,
! to produce love motif, the highest COL
/ ors surrounded him, while for storm
and bloodshed he relied on vivid reds
! and decided puppies; for grief, dull
! grays and rigorous browns sustained
! him. Who ever saw a detected girl in
white? Especially nowadays, when
! white means yards of lace and dainty
ribbons. Her blues would vanish while
she fastened the belt of her skirt. She
couldn't help looking out with smiling
eyes from under the brim OF her soft,
tulle hat. Presumably, in the first
1 place, no woman who was not natu-
! rally sunny tempered, no woman whose
J smile was not close behind her tears,
would ever take to pure diaphanous
white. Diaphanous is written advised

on the contrary, mean added self-re-

declare that shabby though her dress
might be, worn and frayed at sleeves
and hem, she could hold her head high
and walk in queenly fashion, if she only

robe. You cam, all women can. Balzac,
who knew women better than any man
who ever studied them, says repeatedly
! in his Coincide Humane" that a bad
ly dressed woman is never agreeable,
and good hunored. He says it various
ly, but he says 1T positively.
To be fashionable this fall al woman
must be bedecked with feathers. so
says the latest Partisan authorities.
But feathers will not appear in the Old
conventional way; on the contrary, they
VIII be used in 6, way never dreamed of
before. They will not only be fashion
able in millinery, but they are to be a
general accessory to dress, and it is
in the odd combinations of wings,
feathers and aigTettes that the dicta-
tors OF fashion are reyeling.
The feather boa will be more in favor
this fall than ever before. But it Will
appear in many novelties. The short
boa will be the boa of the season. 1t
will be worn in both plain coloTs and
shaded. Instead of being fastened in
visibly, as formerly, much attention
Will be given to the way. it is held
together.
One OF the lates ideas is to fasten
the boa with an OWLS head. 1t is not
necessary that the head should be in
the natural color. An odd effect is the
only thing to consider Feathers as
dress trimming will be used to the best
advantage on evening costumes. The
feather ruff1e is the latest novelty. A
white satin dancing gown, trimmed
around the bottom with a deep ruffle,
of white ostrich tips, is simply ex-
quisite.
Until the present year the match box
has been the unquestioned, exclusive
property of man. Never once did he
think of such a thing as the fairer sex
borrowing it. He may have had pre-
sentiment Of her laying claim to his
necktie, but his match box-never.
But the bicycle girt, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
seige, to g. mans match box. If she in
tends riding at night she needs matches
to light her lamp, and necessarily she
must carry them in a match box.
That is the reason there are so many
new match boxes this year which are
smaller and more dainty than anything
ever seen in this line before.
Here is a recipe for making most
delicious cider cup. Take one pint of
cider, one sherry glassful of sherry, one
sherry glassful OF brandy, one lqueur
glassfut of curacao, a piece of ice, one
half of an orange, sliced; one yellow
rind of lemon, one slice of cucumber, a
dash of nutmeg and sugar to taste.
The very latest thing in smart cir
cles is the aurora Tea AS the name
indicates, the decorations, table and
gowns are of the changeable colors of
the sunrise. The room may be hung
with cheese cloth in varying colors
we'll blended or of crinped tissue pa
per The ladies who serve should be
attired in all of the hues seen at early
dawn. Thin slices of pink ham, lob
ster and chicken mayonnaise and sand
witches tied with vari-colored ribbons,
make the table quite festive, and the
ices, bon-bcns, lamp shades and can
dies should all be of the required hues,
furnishing treat to the eye as well
as the palate.
Fichus, with very long ends, that tie
and fall low on the skirt, are made of
airy textiles matching the gown and
edged with frills of Valenciennes lace.
Despite the dire forehodings of evil
as regards radical changes in fall
styles, there is little doubt that we will
not be treated to anything genuinely
new before next spring. Sleeves will
no doubt grow less; that is, the sleeve
proper, but they will be so burdened
with shoulder adornments that they
will seem almost as big as ever. 1t
