BOdices. Wonderfully and TnvisibIy Fas-
tened, In Fashion Again.
There is still pronounced taste for
strong contrasts of color in costume Black
velvet is combined with white satin and
russell lace or guipure, black and straw,
jOnquil or orange, violet or pansy purple
and silver white, yellow, pale mauve or
light blue. These contrasts are more or
less softened by profusion Of gauze or
tulle, which forms trimming to almost
all costumes 1t is usually white, and lace
itself is sometimes ornamented with plait-
ings or ruffles of the diaphanous material.
Many boleros of yellow lace or renaissance
guipure are thus trimmed all around.
Some years ago it was the fashion so to
fasten bOdices that the closing could not
be discerned. These bodices were difficult
enough to get into and often made the
services Of a second person necessary. 1t
now looks as if this fancy were to return.
There are great many plastrons, chem
isettes and similar arrangements worn,
and in most Of the newest corsages pains
are taken to place the fastening at one side
and in such way that 1t shall remain I'M

tract the eye from these genuine charms
by the fictitious ones of elaborate clothing?
For the underdresses flannel or flannel
cite may be employed instead of canton
flannel, although the latter is denser than
the former. If wool is employed for wear
next the skin, heavy cotton is better for
more external protection, as it is less por
Gus. The contact with wool stimulates the
skin, but wool is easily penetrated by
drafts; therefore there should be some
thing denser outside.

girl years old. 1t is Of blue and black
mixed wooden goods, the skirt being open
in front over a tablier of blue plated SUI

of wooden goods have caps of plated velvet,
and the collar and cuffs are also of velvet.

tulle will obviate the inconvenience, but
such is really the case. There is great
deal of protection in even the sheerest,
thinnest fabric. A necklace alone is better
than nothing as affording certain degree
of shelter for delicate throat. If bit of
tulle Is basted around the edge of low
cut dress and is gathered up to the neck
under band of ribbon, the wearer will
not be likely to take cold unless she is I'M
usually delicate. 1t may be suggested here
that before appearing in low cut bodice
it is well to rub the neck, chest and arms
with alcohol, as there is then less danger
of contracting chill. AS there is at pres
ent almost always some sort of a sleeve the
arms are usually sufficiently sheltered.
There is also something to be said con-
corning evening wraps. The short ones are
gayer and more youthful looking and do
not crush the light costume beneath, but
they are not sufficiently warm for wear In
cold weather. The cold air creeps under
the edges and up the hollows of the folds,
reaching and chilling the bare arms and
shoulders beneath. Long evening wraps
are far preferable on this account, and if
they are made of soft but light material
there is little danger that the gown will
be injured by them, especially as they are
only worn in u carriage

gown of lettuce green broche silk. The

roughness, cracking and kindred disf1gure-
ments. Olive oil, by the way, is very
simple cosmetic, but very good one, used
little at time. 1t smooths the skin and
softens it and is not at all unpleasant to
apply, since few drops only are necessary
These may be poured upon q bit of old
linen, with which the face is to be gently
rubbed. Everybody knows the cleansing
property of alcohol upon the skin, from
which it removes Settings of dust that
soap and water will not touch. The objeo-
ton to its use is that it has a burning
drying effect. If alcohol and olive oil are
used together, the cleansing power of the
alcohol is retained, but its evil qualities
are nullifled, and the skin is left cool

be very careful about washing the hair, Sc
Letting fair day for the purpose and re-
naming in II warm room until the hair is
dry. If warm water dashed with alcohol
Is used instead of soap and water, the
moisture will evaporate much more quick
ly. The proportion of alcohol being small
it does the hair no injury, but makes it
bright and smooth.
An illustration is given of street cos
tune of violine silk. The tablier of the
skirt Is defined by two folds Stimulating a
redingote ornamented with large gold
buttons. The foot of the skirt is faced up
with n band of Louis XIII embroidery of
channels silk, the Irregularities of the top
of the band being followed by fine gold
cord. The bodice is closed by small gold
buttons and adorned with large revers and
bolero fronts of embroidery like that on
the skirt. There Is also o point of en-
broidery extending down the back from
the shoulders. The bolero is edged with
gold cord and trimmed with gold buttons.
The sleeves have medieval cuffs of en-
broidery and short, full epaulets of violine
velvet. The plastron and collar are like

are ready enough to don the attire of other
ages, for they are accustomed to fripperies
and are not incommoded by them, but
where ball is in question men must be
considered, as they form an important ele-
ment in the affair. Men of the Latin
races are not in the least troubled by a
sense of the unfitness of fancy costume,
but take to it with all the ease Of dramatic
stinct.
Unlimited as is the variety of costume
from which to chOoso-historical national
and fanciful-it would seem that fashion
pure and simple had nothing to do with
the matter; yet, curiOusly enough, its in
fuence is felt even there. At one time a
certain class of dress will prevail at fancy
balls, at another time another class, with
no perceptible reason for it. Just now Rus
sian costumes of all kinds are much in de-
mand, as are also Spanish ones. A year
or two ago Chinese attire was chiefly ia
vored.
In fancy costumes there are some pretty
feminine editions of masculine characters
--Harlequins, Pierrettes, etc. These,
which are characteristic, are more effective
than representations of seasons, flowers
and the like Rather clever idea was
shown in q costume worn by a young girl
at a fancy ball in Paris. 1t represented,
in somewhat irregular but still a recog-
nizable way a Paris postman. The short
skirt of black satin was bordered with a
band of red velvet, on which the word
"Postes' was placed in gold letters. Sew
eral letters were fastened fiat upon the
skirt, while at each hip was wing. The
tight, double breasted bodice of black
satin was cut in a V, with revers of red
velvet. The short, full sleeves had red vel
vet cuffs, and there was wing on each
shoulder The black cap had red plume;
black high boots were worn, and black
box was slung across the shoulders.

apply quite as we'll to u less serious mat
ter, that of painting and might be alter
ed so as to read, advice to those about to
do decorative painting-don t, unless you
have some knowledge of the business -
There are few sights more ridiculously
pitiable to the educated eye than china

and laborious ornamentation of our I'M
skilled hands. Such decoration is an I'M
slightly blenish, the fair, plain surface I'M
adorned being infinitely preferable In
fact it is easy to have too much decora-
ton when 1T is of the very best quality
1t is undoubtedly the case that we go in
much too enthusiastically for details. The
Orientals, much our interiors in scientific
humanitarian and spiritual status, have
yet wonderful instinct for the fitness of
things in the matter of clothing and fur
nishing. They heartily despise us-our
unrest, our CagCrneSs, our sacrifice of lei
ure to progress. They are infinitely con
servatiVC and not logical, and we can
afford to deSpise them in return, if we are
rude enough to indulge in such a senti-
ment, but they are beginning to realize
that there is much to be learned from us,
and In return we might equally well ad
nit that they have the advantage of us in
the matter of simplicity and good taste in
the ornamental part OF practical things.

VARIOUS NOTES.
Air and Sunlight For the Hair-Pointed
Toed Shoes.

Toed Shoes.
Princess costumes are very much liked
and are moro and more worn, especially
for ceremonious occasions. On the other
hand, there is also an increase of favor
shown to skirts of mousseline de sole,
gauze and crepOn, gathered ut the waist,
for evening costumes. This is a fashion
peculiarly suitable for young girls, being
simple and Juvenile in effect.
The hair is too often kept continuously
confined in a close coil or braid, being
loosened only for the few minutes which
arc occupied in combing and dressing it.
Air and light are beneficial to it, and it
ought to be allowed TO hang free occasion
ally. This relieves the strain and pressure
which come in one place and from one di-
rection all the time and allows the air to
circulate among the roots. Sunshine is
also good for the hair, especially for light
hair, which is rendered brighter by it.
Pointed toed shoes are still in vogue in
spite of the attempt to introduce those cut

WOMEN AS HOUSEHOLDERS.
The Summer Home Idea as Women De-
veIOp 1t.

In these days of increasing feminine in
dependence there are continually new de-
velopments displayed in the life and con-
duct of the unincumbered woman. A few
years ago it was a fad among teachers,
artists and other women who have their
summers more or less free to themselves
to buy an abandoned farm and house and
convert them into warm weather resort,
where they could feel at home and unham-
pered by such restraints as surround hotel
and boarding house life. These farm
houses were sold ut small price and were
fitted up by the purchaser with all the
stray bits of furniture she could beg from
friends who were interested in the estab-
hshment. Now evolution has progressed
another stage, and the independent woTn

are always preferable for little children,

cause such q Disagreement. The trouble
is often brought about by the bad habit of
drying the hands imperfectly after wash

FORESTRY BUREAU
Suggestions of the National Acad-
emy of Science Regarding
Reserves
Set Forth in a Report Sent to
the Senate by the Presi-
dent.
Land More Valuable For Other
Purposes Not Necessary to
Be Kept.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The president
has sent to the senate the detailed re-
port on forestry made by the committee
of the National Academy of Science at
the request of the secretary of the in
terror. The general conclusions of the
committee were announced in an alb.
stract furnished by the committee some
weeks ago. The report goes into details
as to European experiments regarding
the influence of forests upon climate and
and stream flows, says the figures DEM
onstrate a considerable progressive re.
duction in the mean annual, the food
and the lowest water levels upon all the
chief rivers draining Central Europe.
Millions of dollars have been expended
during recent years in Europe in check
ing the force of floods due to denuded
mountain slopes by the construction OF
stone dams, and river beds. and plant
ing sod and trees. The committee pre-
diets that similar expenditures in this
country must follow the destruction of
mountain forests if the narrow valleys
Of the West are to continue habitable.
Fire and Pasturage Chief Enemies.
Fire and pasturage are cited as chiefly
threatening the reserved forest lands of
the public domain, illegal timber cut
ting damage being comparatively insig-
nifcant. The committee says the gov
ernment in permitting free pasturage on
the public domain to sheep owners i'll
the public land states and territories is
clearly unjust to people elsewhere, who
must own or hire pastures.
Traces of depredations were visible in
all the reserves visited. The segregations
of these great bodies of reserved lands
cannot be withdrawn from all occupa-
ton and use, but should be managed
for the benefit of the people of the
| whole country, not for class or sec.
ton. AS to this the report says that
under a strict Interpretation of the
interior department 4O,O0O,OO0 acres OF
land are thus theoretically shut out
from all occupation or enjoyment, a con-
| dition of affairs that should not con
tinue. Land more valuable for its min
eral deposits or agricultural crops than
for its timber should be taken from the
reservations and sold to miners and
farmers, mature timber should be Cut
and sold, settlers within or adjacent te
the boundaries should be authorized to
take such material from reserved forests
as is necessary for their needs, anG
prospectors should be allowed to search
the forests for mieerals.
