CORRECT STYLE IN LINERIES.

The most correct livery today Is a very
dark one. blue or black being preferred
The boot tops should be white and the
coat have Il velvet collar and narrow vel
vet cuffs. The gloves should be white,
and the hat should shine as if it were
an advertisement for some shoe polish.
The storm coat should be of white rub-
Der. and in winter time Il fur cape of
black bearskin should be worn. y good
coachman never takes Il storm coat on
Il victoria. If his mistress chances the
storm, he must DO the same. On Il nan
som-that is. a private hanson, and Il
private hanson is a delightful luxury
the driver does not wear Il livery at all,
and this is done to distinguish him
from the ordinary hanson driver, who
always wear livery. Instead he wears a
box coat, his collar and puff scarf are
immaculate. and his high hat has Il mar
velous polish. while his gloves are dark
tan ones such as gentlemen wear. The
fashionable girl, who used to have Il
phaeton, now has Il hanson, and she
manage to get more solid fun out of it
than she would out Of any other trap.
But the average girl gets i good bit of
fun out of life anyhow. Why shouldn't
he: She is young, we'll dressed, and
pretty.

member of Mr.. Cox's company last
evening took ii few sips of his coffee

thai he preferred wafer to coffee and
never drark the latter. Asked why

Falls That Shake Two Cities.

The Lewiston falls have reached
the hutter point. When the day is
done and darkness falls from the
wings Of night. and far and wide over
the city falls the hush of sleeping
thousands, Their the falls get in their
work.
Men awake with a start to find that
all things are attending. The old
window sashes that have shook to the
angry bowls of a hundred northeast
ers now tremble and fiutter when no
breath OF air is moving. Men who
are nervous reuch systematically I'M.
der their pillows to see il the revolver
is there, and women awake and de-
maDd that the cat be let out.
Ifyou happen to know what it is
that makes the nolsa it isn't so bad,
but there are so many who do not
know, and @speerits" and gnomes ind
shadowy ghosts are suggested. Every
year when the falls reach a certain
indefinite point on the ledge the two
cities are set a-shaking like aspen
leaves. Then it is that we rise in the
night and stick burned matches IN
the jamb Of the window md push the
door latch back 20 that we can sleep.

over, showing the pretty petticoat beneath, The edge of the neglge is scalloped These scallops are buttonholes stitched in pale blue. The ends of the. scallops are deep, curling up into the cloth very eff fectively. They. are, wide and fall away, showing the pale blue silk lining. Lace and dainty blue ribbons are fuffed around in long graceful lines. The effect of the scallops Is charming as well as novel.
 Many of the batiste materials shown for underwear have fine hair lines of blue or pink running through them. Elaborately trimmed nightgOwns are made of these. But always, the most beautiful undergar- ments are of pure white. The only touch es of color, if color be desired at all, must be supplied by knots of ribbon. Dainty shades of narrow ribbon are used even more conspicuously in the trimming of undergarments than heretofore.
 The French seamstresses every year turn out new and beautiful models of lingerie. They give a great deal of time and thought to designing new ideas They take pleasure in the work and the re- suits are usually very happy. The cut of gown is even more important fac tor than the material used and the work manship and finish. For often a gown is a failure because the underwear worn makes it impossible to fit the garment without a wrinkle.

stick and then carefully trimmed with the curving scissors into shape wherever it has become ragged and uneven. Then shape the nails with the file not into a sharp point but so as to correspond in shape with the ends of the fingers.
 Next smear bit of cold cream on each nail, and then cover them with the polish ing powder. Now the chamois polisher is used. and each nail is rubbed separately until it burns and tingles from the heat Then, with the powder still on the nails, bathe the hands in warm water and cas- tile soap, each nail being separately scrubbed with a nailbrush. Dry and poi ish each nail on the palm of the other hand, or else with a fresh polisher or piece of chamois skin. They will then be of a lovely pink shade and just shiny enough for beauty
 Every morning, after washing the hands, press back the flesh at the base of the nail with the towel. After pressing back this fieshy curtain. which may ob- scure the pearly moon, gently pinch the tip of each finger and thumb separately between the folds of the towel, thus shap- ing the fingers into more tapering form.

 Threads of silver and gold in stuffs and laces brighten many gowns. this year. lace forming the blouse to gown Is pretty, and stripe of silver or gold gives an added richness to a velvet
 A black velvet stock has little double ruff1e of white ribbon at the upper edge and a design in the same ruffled white ribbons of double bowed Empire knot, and curving ends joining. There Is no reason why an ingenious girl should not have variety of pretty and original de- signs in neckwear if she chooses. She can get a general idea of what is what from the things that are and then modify and enlarge upon them to suit her own fancy and the material she has at hand, with the best results.
 The jeweled black velvet collars to sbe worn with decollete bodices are not alto- gether new, but this is the first season they have really been popular. The Prin- cess of Wales has favored this fashion for some time and in London and Paris such collars have been worn from time to time. but there is really a very practical reason for the American woman's adopting them. The high, stiff linen collar did a good deal the past summer to spoil .pret- ty throats and while the damage is being repaired the high velvet stock serves a nice purpose. besides being immensely becoming. The most fashionable of all the jeweled velvet collars is the one with jeweled slides about two inches apart. The average woman's neck measures about thirteen inches, and so there Is chance to display at least five or six pretty jeweled slides. Or the collar is just straight velvet band, with a large round or oval pin fastened just in front and another fastening the collar at the back.
 b,ack nat wsaist' made either simply or elaborately may also be worn with a black silk skirt. This combination Is all ways permissible and as a rule, is be- coming to almost all women. A red China crepe trimmed with jet Is always pretty for brunette to wear on any formal oc- casion or even at home in the winter
