cHIT-cHAT OF FASHION.

If the summer hat is to be retrimmed
for another season altogether the best
plan to pursue before putting it away
is to remove all the trimming from it.
The gloves that enjoy the highest
favor have only one button apiece in
these days, and even this makes them
almost too long for the sleeves that
must fall to the knuckles.
Diamonds should be worn by the bril-
liant woman, but the quiet one should
choose pearls. The beauty of a bru-
nette is enhanced by rubies and topazes,
and of a fair-skinned woman by en-
eralds.
Evening gowns with square-cut necks
are much worn this season. The square
deck is more becoming TO sloping Shout
ders than the round neck, and lace and
chiffon ruffles can be used to give the
edges soft and dainty finish.
A pretty evening waist of chiffon in
pole blue, rose, lemon, cream, lilac or
Nile green has the neck cut square
and edged with fur. 1t seems an in
congruous combination the dainty.
mistlike material trimmed with win

SOME FANCY BORDERS.

The flooring is more effective than any
carpet or rug and can be readily kept in
a high state of polish.
Parquetry is of two kinds, solid and
veneered. The former is made of seq
arate pieces of thick wood joined by
tongue and groove, the latter of thin
strips or blocks of wood glued on a
paneled backing of hard wood. From
this it will be seen that all fancy wood
ioorsneeda foundation floor of cheaper
wood, and that this necessarily makes
their use slightly expensive, although
i'll the long run they more than repay
enc for the original expense. TO be-
gin with, they are handsome enough to
require little if any covering in the way
of rugs, then the two floorings deaden
sound to great degree, and, lastly,
they are so exquisitely clean and artis-
tic in appearance that one cannot help
but be converted to their use.
A complete flooring is illustrated, as
are some borders 1t consists of a
combination of oak and mahogany,
with border of oak, mahogany and
maple. The border is an intricate and
effective Grecian pattern, in which the
different woods are used to shade with
the delicacy of painting. This floor
ing can be laid to fit any room. Par
quetry should never be cleaned with
warm water, for it will cause the pieces
of wood to warp and separate and will
also affect the polish.-Chicago Chron.

its color is confined to the gems, which
are indicated by ovals and circles. The
model from which the drawing was
made is designed for use with dainty
blue and white china, and nile tur'
quoises are used, but it might easily be
varied to suit any scheme of color. The
edge is buttar5oled with white floss.
All the design is worked with white eX-
cepting only the turquoises, which are
stuffed and worked in French over

BILE The effect is delightful, and the
dolly harmonizes TO perfection with the
dinner service for which 1t was made.
The use of single jewel, such as
the turquoise, has the advantage OF
simplicity, and work so done requires
less knowledge of harmony than does
a combination. Two or more gems can
be used, however. to give rich and
elegant result. Often the design proper
is executed in color, but white as a
foundation is safest and can be trusted
to set forth the jewels at their best.

are none capable of giving more real
satisfaction than the single hollyhock
that used to grow against the garden
wall or fence by the side of grandmoth-
er's house. The seedsmen have had
craze for making single flowers double,
and for me, at least, they have very
nearly ruined some of the old-time
beautiful blossoms. They have doubled
the beautiful blossoms of the single
hollyhock and made peony of it. much
TO my distress. This is kind of inn
provement that hasn't at all improved,
and it is time to call halt to this tam
pering with our single flowers. Many
single blossoms are much more attract
i've than they could possibly be doubled,
and it is crime against flower lovers
to deprive us of the single blooms.
Give us the old-time favorites and
give them TO us unchanged from their
cld-time form and color. Particular.

Copenhagen is to have an elevated
railroad running along the shore from

At Dolhain. on the Belgian frontier

went to the railroad station recently
to boot the count of Flanders, with his

the duke of VeRdome, because the
count had employed Germans on his es.

Sweden will send an expedition to
KONG Karl's Land, east of Spitzbergen,

the other islands and the undiscovered
region between Spitzbergen and Franz

such an expedition are little more than
those of a summer cruise.

Several Prescriptions Which Are Certain.
Iy Worth Trying.
Varnish or paint stains should first
be covered with butteI or sweet oil, and
then rubbed with turpentine. If it is
placed by chloroform, which must. Of
course, be used with great precaution.
Fruit stains will generally yield if you
rub according to the grain of the mate
rial, with little salt and water. Sher-
ry will take out claret stains, if they
are rubbed gently. Blood stains should
be soaked with petroleum, and then
washed in warm water. 1t is said that
no stain will resist the following recipe:
Put into a large bottle two quarts of
clean spring water, add piece of white
amber the size of a walnut, piece of
potash as big as hazel nut, and two
lemons cut into slices. Let it stand u
hours, then strait and keep it in we'll
corked bottles. Damp the stain with
this preparation and rub the place with
fresh water directly afterward.
Finally, try this prescription for TAX
ing stains out of silk or cloth: Pound
some French chalk until very fine, and
mix it with warm water to the thickness
of mustard. Put it on the spots. rub it
lightly with your finger, or the palm
of your hand, then put sheet OF blot
ting paper or brown paper over the
spots and press firmly with warm iron.

why the Keeping of a Small Garden Il
Precious Bit of Training.
1t is q sad reflection to me to zee how
many children there are who have nc
real love of flowers. They may be at
tracted by pretty and fragrant bios.
SONS, all children are that, but as for
cultlvating and giving the tender care
that plants require, and thus learning
some of the sweetest lessons in life, they
know nothing, and all about them are
acres of untitled soil.
The keeping of bit of garden, if only
a few feet of earth, nay, if only few
pots in a sunny window, is valuable bit
of training. and cannot fail to inspire
love of the beautiful that will have
an important influence on the charac-
ter throughout life.
1t should be remembered that exam
pie is the first element to be considered
in educating the childish mind. Do not
try and force child to keep bit OF
garden. but keep one yourself. Sow
seeds and plant slips, and spend spare
moments caring for them, and water
night and morning, and always have
your child with you; be talkative and
wax enthusiastic. never mind whether
you are understood or not, it will not
be long before the child will initiate
you, and want a garden of its own. and
when this is brought about, you may
rest assured you have sown seed in
the childish heart that will grow to a
blossoming of great beauty. = N. Y.
