Few women value and appreciate the
necessity of a night toilet. The hair

anointed with cold cream, which will keep
them soft and white.
Night is the time to take a warm bath,
and this is also an aid to sleep, for the
steaming and rubbing produce fatigue.
Night is also the proper time to take a
facial steam bath, after which a little cold

One of the new stuffs brought out this
year. says London Queen is appropri-
ately named the Queens Reign. 1t is 46
inches wide and is of the nature of a
striped poplin, covered, however with a
SILK brocade, which gives it much impor-
lance; the mi of colors in which it is
made are two or three shades of gray,
and brown. These silky stuffs are a fea-
ture in the seasons goods, and less ex-
penslve ones are the Blenheim, 43 inches
wide, of the nature of alpaca, but with a
silk design on the surface in shot color
ings, such as fawn and black, green and
gray pink and black, and other tones.
Inc Queen of Sheba is a mixture of silk
ans wool with a silky surface of two
%colors; SO are the Princess of Hesse, Me-
lusine and Banshee, the latter the cheap
est OF all, and wonderful for the money.

and green and other important colorings.
Serge OF a light summer make appears
IN plnks, blues, fawns and spring green's,
as well as the more useful range Of col
ors. Among the plain tinted brocaded
materials without silk, is the Melanie.
Which is suggestive of mateiasse. The
Beizoni shows a mignonette weaving in
tWo-shot colors, such as green and
brown, and blue and red, while the San
Reno is a shot gloria In silk and wool,
one of the best fabrics there are for pet
ticoats as well as dresses, the mauves
blues and greens quite charming. Tinsel
effects in brocade are thrown on corded
ground and form stripes on black canvas
the tinsel threads being either gold, blue,
red, green or peach. The Carlton is a
pretty effective material, with a silk hori-
szontal line on a dark surface. For sum-
mer dresses and home Inner wear the

pattern N silk striped delaine, while
cheap, has a most excellent effect, and
the Grace Darling is after the order of
mousseline delaine, while the Gypsy shows
a prominent silk stripe in light blue, light
pink, or mauve on a white ground. 1t is
Is inches wide, and would be invaluable
for girls summer dresses. The Lynton
is an admirable example of shot wooden
in pink and green and other mixtures,
while the Ronald is a similar material
with silk-lined stripes, and they meet the
particular fashion of the hour; the Ros-
sta. a fancy checked wooden with silk,
would make capital w-aistcoating. The
Bernhardt is of the nature of wool pop
lin in every imaginable color, and quite
delightful as to wear. There are plenty
of pretty woelens with stripes in silk and
many fancy woolen self-colored stufs
that will make up well; while the faced
cloths nave double their range of colors,
both plain and blended, and there is a
most liberal choice in mixed diagonals,
spring tweeds and serge-like fabrics. The
Doncaster, in fancy shepherds plaid, is
one of the newest.

In buying a teapot there are two de-

To her standard must society come. Let

In accepting the Sacque coat one has to
acknowledge that there are remarkable
differences in the cut and adjusting of
