dress? ~ According TO my thinking. potn-
ing can make up to the girl child the loss
of her doll days, and if you are interested
in some tiny maid give her a doll or two
and let her fancy them real human, and
teach her, too, to set them a very good
example. You may provide her with a
kindergarten, but don't take away her
dolls.
There is refinement in eating daintily
and philosophy in choosing food that is
skillfully prepared and arranged in such
artistic sequence as may best maintain
the body's health and its powers Of work.
A discriminating palate was not bestowed
upon US for nothing, nor were all the
varied savors of food bestowed to be
neglected. But the man or woman who
thinks dinner the event of the day is
neither lovable nor admirable.
Half the dull heaviness of spirit that
weighs down the world may be attributed
to Indigestion, and half the indigestion is
caused by o~ver-eating. The other half
may be attributed to bad cooking or a
foolish mixture of viands. as in the truly
terrible meal known as thigh tea when
the beverage converts the meat into some
thing resembling leather.
Indigestion is the parent of Ill temper
and dependency. such very disagreeable
children that it is small wonder that the
world abounds with patent cares for their
detested source.

AT Vassar College the average age of
the college girl on graduating is between
% and rs. But careful examination. of
statistics shows that up TO 80 years of
age the average is quite equal in the
number of marriages of girls who have
gone to college and those who have NOT.
As to the happiness of the marriage of
coliege-bred women, statistics also show
that divorces are very rare among mar
ried women who have received college
training, and consequently the natural
conclusion would be that marriages, on
the whole. among them are far happier
The professor accounted for this by the
fact thai college bred women receive a
more solid all-round education: their
study of the sciences. mathematics and
the languages prevents Their training
from being one-sided. as the training of
the average school girl generally is: as
also the training of the se~lf-edueated
woman.
Since the days of high stocks and coll
lars there is no end to the variety say
the Ladies' Home Journal Several Of
the fashionable women at Newport this
year have been seen in the morning with

shirt-waists, instead of the reverse. as has
been so long the fad. These collars and
/ stocks are Of dark red, brown or blue
linen Of the very finest quality, and are
made with the little turned over top, just
as the white collars are. They are made
with a tie attached Of the same material,
which is crossed over behind and tied in
front in a small BOW. These new collars
and stocks are the latest thing here. and
set off a white morning waist ITO perfec-
ton.
There ought to be a good many modes
appertaining to jewelry, now that every
body wears so much in the daytime
diamonds and chains. pearl necklaces and
other very wonderful additions which
would nave been considered vulgar in the
days that are past. 1t night women are
a perfect blaze of gems. whether it be
diamonds. emeralds or the many beautl-
full rocco and enamel ornaments which
nobody possesses without wearing. The
Cyrano jewelry mas caught on immensely,
taking the form of collars, combs. slides,
buckles and very long necklaces, or,
rather, neck-chains, to which the
lorgnettes, watches or purses are some
times attached. Many of the parasoi
handles are jeweled this year, and this
mas become a very -extravagant item in
dress. Jeweied butterflies are worn both
in the day and evening.

To wear with summer gowns of light
color there are most attractive hats of
yellow straw trimmed with bright flowers,
says Harper's Bazaar Some of these
are in toque shape; others are broader.
while others again are a little on the poke
bonnet order. and are fastened under the
chin with strings either of tulle or rib
bon. This matter of bonnet strings is
the world at large. To some faces there
IS nothing so becoming as the strings,
while, on the other hand, nothing can be

difference it makes. The strings Oh these
large poke bonnets are put quite far back,
and, as a rule. are Of soft tuIle or chiffon,
tying under the chin in a soft bow, but
with no long ends. Older women who
always wear the bonnet strings nave the
narrow ones of black velvet or black
satin.
A straw co1ored cloth costume with a
little white silk and white guipure and
black silk lacing cords were fetching with
a scerise straw hat trimmed with black
tulle pompons. The 1acings were run
through white silk embroidered eyelets so
tightly as to barely reveal the straw col

ened the outside of the sleeves from wrist
to shoulder and each side Of the Elton
Jacket from waist to bust line. AT this
point the siashings of the Elton rolled
back with white silk revers that formed a
sort Of circular collar about the shoulders,
leaving exposed a guipure guimpe.
