| hear that in Paris the old practice OF
holding up the skirt at the side has quite
gone out Of fashion. Owing TO the width
of the modern skirt It is necessary to lift
| It on both sides in order to evade the mud,
and consequently our bellies will shortly
adapt the 1880 air. which is SO distinctly
modest and feminine. Petticoats under
dresses SO lifted require therefore to be
more handsome and dainty than the gowns
themselves, and many of them are now be-
ing deliberately embroidered to prepare for
the inevitable demand.
Do you like dog stories! am not sure.
but I know you like bonnet stories. and
II you have very unpathetic husband who
cannot tell whether you are wearing q new
hat or an old, I Fancy you will envy this
woman the possession of so observing and
interesting a canine. Please don't think I
mean to suggest any affinity between the
unsympathetic husband and the dog! Here
is the story: An English woman tells a
story Of the wonderful sagacity of her
pet dog. He learned that she had two bon
nets-one which she wore about the neigh
borhood and a more elaborate one, called
into use when she went into town. The
dog always fretted when his mistress was
gone to the city. but seemed comparatively
reconciled II she babe him tender fare
we'll. One day she disappeared without the
dog noticing her departure for nearly an
hour. When he finally missed her his dis
tress was unbounded. and finally he ran up
to her room. where sat the two bonnet
boxes. Knocking the lid off the first. he
found the commoner chapeau missing. while
IN the second box reposed the elaborate
visiting bonnet. donned only for an ex-
tended stay In the city. At the sight Of
this condition Of affairs the wise little
CANNES anxiety Immediately disappeared
and he waited calmly until his mistress re-
turned from her -hort call In the neigh
borhood.
The fril!s, fraiees, ruches, Marie Antoi-
nette hchus, sashes. bows, berthas and the
like are all seen dt their very best among
the French creations already being prepared
for midsummer wear. Nothing in the way
Of garniture ever quite compared with the
last new marvels brought out in the point
Of richness Of quality. Sumptuous effects,
grace, elegance and beauty Of design. they
are shaped TO Ali every requirement OF the
gown. to outline or simulate any sort Of
bodice or skirt effect now in vogue, from
panel to puff from belt to bertha. collar to
cuff. and 80 on.
The vivacious. genial woman. who Is
never so much at home as when surrounded
by bevy of eager-minded children, is a
woman who remains young in the important
sense that she retains much Of the fresh
neee and Internationally Of mind, much
Of the gaety and expansiveness Of early
life.

gaiety Of the young heart, and that George

Apparently the number Of girls who are
dissatisfied with the color OF their hair Is
legion. The girl with dark hair wants to
know what will make 1t light. while the
fair girls ambition Is for hair the color
Of ravens wing. Good advice is to leave
the calor Of the h.ir alone. and to devote
their energies to keeping 1t In good condl-
tion.
1t goes without saying that the hair
should be we'll brushed every night-but
not with a hard brush. A hard brush ir-
ritates the scalp. Just as a smal-toothed
comb does and falling out OF the hair Is
the result Hard brushing with a soft
brush Is the way to make the hair soft
and glossy, and to encourage It's growth.

The Empire poke bonnet is very chic and

growth of hair that can be waved beneath
the spreading arched brim. Many fash

ally fashionable. and elect to wear just the
opposite of prevailing modes, especially In
! the military iine. are adopting this unique

! Some Of the latest millinery shows a

heaped to an absurd height. On Paris hats
| and bonnets many Of the gay flowers are
yelled with tulle, some OF the red roses en-
veloped in red tulle, then recovered with
white Illusion. Width at the back Of the
hat does not diminish, and on many Paris
bonnets, capotes and round hats are long
wide tulle or p~~s-n'z net ecarfs or ribbon
| strings. Strings, II not exaggerated, are al
most universally becoming. Those OF mar
row velvet are particularly SO. but strings a
yard in length and four or Ave inches wide
do not appeal to us at present. The wide
tulle scarfs. however, either in black or
white. have a very becoming and dressy
effect. particularly to women of mature
years, whose cheeks and threats have lost
the roundness and freshness of youth. But
on Leghorr and other wide-brimmed hats
these airy scarfs fall gracefully from the
back Of the hat, and will be worn by both
girls in their teens and youthful matrons.

like the new coiffuses. The pompadour
is becoming to most women. It Is more
appropriate than any other style for the
stately women. and gives q piquanteese to
the roll-like beauty which IL very fetching.
But so many women make fdgets Of them
selves by following the hairdresses' plates
of modifying the style. taking what 10 good
and eschewing what is unsightly In It, and
so molding 1t to best become another indi-
vdual style of beauty.
In adopting any new style Of hairdressing
the outline Of the head should frst be we'll

the lines Of a special fashion and still vary
IL enough to suit individual needs. For
instance, the waved side-locks, which fash

round, oval and long faces. A round face
looks less full when the locks are disposed

is entirely suited to an oval outline while
the length of a slender face IL less marked
when the hair is more closely. though by
no means tightly. drawn back.
The parted hang very generally. though
not always wisely. worn until recently,

In its stead reign the pompadour and the
coquettish temple curls. the former being
