BITS OF FRIVOLITY.

Felt Alpine and Derby hats accom-
pany bicycle suits, and when they do
not match the suits in the color of the
straw they do in the decoration which
usually consists Of a ribbon of moder-
ate width formed in a smooth fat bow
at the left side and supplemented by a
pair of quilts. The straws are either
mixed or plain.
Delicate and gossamery as a web are
the new black grenadines Despite
the many gauzy novelties in the field.
grenadine continues to find favor with
ladies Of refined taste Though ap-
parently frail. it is far more durable
than many more closely woven fab
ric The grenadine gown is invariably
dressy and its usefulness may extend
beyond the season, since it may with
propriety be worn in winter at thea
tres, concerts, or wherever else cere-
monious attire is required. The de-
signs and styles in grenadine are le-
gion. Almost every type, from the SIM
pie, square-meshed frame TO the
diaphanous variety resembling NOUS
seine de sole, is included in the cur
rent exhibit, and the devices, which
in form are conventional or floral, are
woven, embroidered or embossed.
An exquisite effect is produced in in
sertions and edgings of white Chantilly
net worked in floral pattern with gold
or silver threads. Such trimmings
would enhance the richness and beauty
of dancing gown of white crepe, Lib
erty gauze or chiffon.
Epaulettes, Berthas and other ad-
Juncts Of ripping or fluffy character
may be made of a novelty trimming
consisting of series Of points of white
batiste embroidered with gray, falling
from a serpentine band to match and
edged with open lace very like point
Venice.
Odd conceits are shown in Bulgarian
embroidery done on linen canvas. The
colors. in half tones, are combined with
rare taste. The trimming is applica-
bic to white, black, gray and other neu-
,ral tones.

For Afternoon Wear, Made of Faille Silk
with Knife-PIaited Chiffon and Jet Gimp
for Decoration.
The delightful Autumn season, with
It's brilliant coloring and cool days, is
an inspiration to the fashionable wo-
man who introduces a sober note or
two in the minor accessories Of her tot
lette, but yet substitutes brilliant col
oring and a more substantial weave
for the fluffy, light or transparent fab
RIGS worn during the summer. There
is ample provision in modes and ma
terials for the tall and short, slender
and stout women Solid hues neutral
tints and gay mixtures are invitingly
displayed; in silks, plaids, checks,
stripes and solid colors are seen, and
sometimes a solid color varied by a
darker polka-dot bayadere stripe. Con-
spicuous among the watered silks are
a black and white sample traversed by
broad satin faconne stripes scolloped
in outline and sprinkled with gradu-
ated dots.
Myrtle-green faille silk is pictured
in the illustration, which is suggestive
and truly artistic. 1t unites the Dag
mar blouse with a stylish Hanback,
skirt. The blouse is one of the up-to-
date Russian modes, closed at the left
side under anticipated frill of silk
and tucked crosswise; the fulness at
the waist droops over the belt in the
fashionable manner and an artistic puff
is at the top of the close-fitting sleeves.
The trimming on the skirt is effective.
and the hat is seasonable and prettily
trimmed. Tan Suede gloves are worn.
The mode is excellent for the glace
taffetas, plaid silks and Autumn nov

Friendship In Kentucky.

When Judge Pendleton grows reminis-
cent, he is always interesting, and when
Mr.. Henry Tompkins walked in he said:
"Mr. Tompkins, your cousin, Louis
Garth. was the only bully I ever saw
who was brave man. He was the most
overbearing l6an ever saw. He was in
a poker game in camp with Lieutenant
Forrest, brother Of General N. B. For
rest, and he called Forrest liar. For.
rest pulled his pistol, double barreled
weapon, and, placing it to Garth's
breast, he pulled the trigger. The car
fridge failed to fire, and Garth spat out
a chew Of tobacco and without moving
a muscle said, Lieutenant, you had
better try the other barrel" Forrest
put his weapon up and said, "Garth,
you are brave man, and will not
shoot brave man." They were insep-
arabic friends forever afterward.

Grant. Dinerent Hats.

After his return from abroad Grant
had a little Japanese servant, who took
charge of him as though the general
were bit Of machinery and he were the
engineer. Some of the, newspaper men
noticed that in the course of one trip
Grant had ON six different hats, and
they laughingly asked him what was
the significance Of the change. Grant
said: why, ! do not know. supposed
I had ON the same hat all the time. I"
Investigation brought out the fact that
the little Jap, through the suggestion of
some of the ladies of the party or some
Of the committee, had received ideas as
to what kind OF hat the general ought
to wear at certain towns. If it WAS a
college town, just before he arrived tae
little Jap. would tiptoe to the general,
remove the slouch hat. place a silk hat
carefully on the generals head and tlip
out, the general never losing word OF
any conversation. At the next stop, IL
it was explained to the little Jap that
it was a soldier town, Off would come
the silk hat and Oil went the general s
military has He made it rule for the
general never to appear at two places
in the same hat, and the joke of it was
that Grant himself did not know any
thing of the scheme. "-Philadelphia

chiffons. This Is a valuable hint, be-
cause exquisite muslins are being sold
for almost nothing now, all because the
failure of the legitimate season for
them has overstocked the Dealers. 1t
will be worth while to make up muslins
now for afternoon and informal even
ing use; they are sure to be used all
winter. The shopkeepers know this
perfectly well, still they must clear
their counters, and imported muslins
are selling for songs. If you can sing,
better go in for one. A lovely gown
bought for one-half what 1t would have
cost three months ago was made over
apple green silk, the muslin being yell
low traced with tiny lines Of green and

Not to Be Bunkaet1.

The president of ore of the leading
eastern colleges was recently journey
ing toward New York and found him
self in the same seat with an old man
whose general appearance betokened
the farmer. They soon fell into CONVEX
sation, and after saying that he was on
his first visit to the metropolis the
farmer mentioned the name of the lit
tie village up among the hills of New
Hampshire from which he came and re-
marked that he supposed his friend had
never heard Of it. ooh, yes" said the
man. I was born there. - Imagine his
establishment when the country man,
after staring at him several seconds, ex-
claimed, "See here, I've heard all about
you bunko fellers. and you can't get
chance to bunko me" So saying, he
grabbed his carpetbag and, marching
down the aisle, took seat on the other
side of the car.-New York Times.

If August doesn't bring a chance for
wearing such dresses as the one sketch
ed beside this, it will bring a disap-
pointing finish to July's waiting and
will almost excuse woman wearing

With all the outdoor uncertainties
that have held in the past two months,
it is but natural that indoor dresses
should have had more than their usual
share Of attention. With fine outdoor
gowns in hand that had had little wear,
it would seem reasonable to expect an
abundance Of simple and inexpensive
gowns for indoors, but such hasn't been
the result, at least with women who
have a good deal to spend for dress.

and fall styles. Turning to the two
costumes at the left in the second Illus
tration, contrast with the first gown
and with the other two of the group Is
found. The first of these had plain
skirt of white serge and waist Of por-
celain blue serge. 1t had heart-shap-
ed cut-out that was filed in with plas-
tron of tucked white china silk, and
white broadcloth gave the apliqued
scroll edge and lining for the high col
lar. The belt was white taffeta ribbon,
and the apliqued border finished the
sleeves. Dove gray cashmere was en-
ployed in the other dress, and was plain
in the skirt, but the bodice was made
deliberately enough. 1t had a vest Of
white silk and chiffon completed by
fluffy embroidered chiffon jabot. Be-
low the vest the fronts were trimmed
with embroidered linen, and plain white
satin furnished the large double revers,

The Wearing of Tucks.

To be really fashionable one must
wear tucks They are seen on every
thing, and the work on some of the new
blouses and bodies is enormous Not
Only are quarter inch tucks closely set
in groups all over the bodice and up
the sleeves, but these are frequently
supplemented by a tucked bolero and by
groups of tucks in the skirt. Even low
cut evening bodices are arranged with
tucked draperies of lisse. Sometimes
the tucks are horizontal. but more fire.

dresses of exceeding richness have re-
suited. One Of these is shown beneath
the dress last described. It's skirt had
white satin front yelled with cream
lace and trained back Of orchid col
ored satin. The bodice consisted of
bands Of tucked satin and lace inser-
ton over white. Lace gave the epau-
lettes and white chiffon the fluffy col
lar. The sleeves were satin yelled with
wrinkled chiffon and the girdle was vio-
let satin.
Cloth was used in the originals of the
two remaining pictures, beige covert
cloth being the material of the tailor
finish, manly driving coat, and silver
gray ladies' cloth for the jaunty rig
beside it. A yoke effect was attained
on its skirt by narrow bands Of gray
velvet, which also ornamented the col
lar and furnished the chemisette. The
corselet was cream lace

The ornamentation of this last dress
was distinctly summary, but the cos
tunes Of the two standing figures were
marked as for the warm season by all
their details. The first had a founda-
ton of violet taffeta, over which, in
the skirt, were three ruffles of violet
mousseline embroidered with apliqued
white net divided by fluffy pinked frills
or the silk. The belt was twisted silk
and chiffon, and the waist was covered
with the mOusseline and had lace bre-
telles and collar to match. Hiding this
was a rich lace cape, merely a flounce
with deep scallops that were filed In
with mousseline and dotted with violet
ribbon bows. Scarlet silk lined ecru
linen In the last of this quartet. A gath
cred frill Of ecru chiffon edged the
jacket fronts, Offee-colored taffeta COW

shade Of mousseline gave the plastron,
and the skirt had panel Of coffee-col-
ored chiffon dotted with scarlet bows
and silver buckles. Another CLINT Of
scarlet came at the throat, whose fluffy
chiffon collar had large bow Of silk
in that bright shade.
Linen has had tremendous favor this
season, and the end of summer will find

posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incuroble. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
