The western idea of street fair is
coming East Business men in Syracuse
are arranging for one, to be held in the
latter part Of August, and, to insure it's
success, they have secured as manager
a Western man of experience in such en-
terprises. The affair is to be modelled
entirely on the lines which have made
fairs of this character so successful in
the West where cities of moderate size
have in this way attracted many thous-
ands of visitors. In Syracuse five blocks
on one of the business streets are to be
the site of the fair; the sides of the
streets are to be lined with booths, and
the amusement features to be grouped
at one end These latter features, being
free are the great attraction, but to
compel consideration also to the trade
exhibits, the fair Is arranged with only
one entrance, and that at the opposite
end from the location of the midway"

The wearing of Wells.

IL Is the exception and not the rule to
see wells worn by really smart people
now. and this Is a direct result OF the
present style Of hat. which. with its
curious curves and dn many cases)
strings does not allow Of satisfactory
adjustment of the veil.
1t is also q difficult matter 10 arrange
a veil really becomingly over toque'
which. II made Of soft tulle or chiffon,
as are SO many of these pretty head
coverings is liable to he crushed and
flattened even by the light confinement

When wells are worn now, they are ell
ther of plain white tulle or very fine
plain black yelling, or OF a fine French
mesh with very small chenille spots.
Black wells lined with pink tulie, and
STYLED complexion wells. have been IN
troduced for some time now, but have
not really caught on, as they have been
found so dazzling to- the eyesight.

AJnpted From Japan.

a reward for suggesting the plan.
In the evening, when their daily tasks
were done, the artists got out their
boxes of water colors. and, until bed
time. painted away industriously on
slips of water color paper The woman
who wrote fashion articles contributed
some slips of paper covered with her
queer hieroglyphics, and these were
transferred TO the painted paper in
equally ambiguous characters called
old English lettering.

Collar bands are higher than they

the earlike pieces at the sides and back

Invalds the world oyer are given
their bread in the form of toast. The
lay world is generally quite ignorant OF
why this is done,, IL is because toast
ing bread until il becomes brown large
ly converts the starch into dextrine.
and hence so far as the brown portion
is concerned. one of the processes or
digestion is gone through before the
bread is taken into the stomach. IL will
be found that the thinner the slices or
bread and the more thoroughly they are
toasted the easier digestion viii be.
and when all portions Of the slice of
bread are thoroughly toasted--not
burned, but still changed TO a deep
brown color-it will be found TO be still
more easily digested than ordinary
toast.
