Never more SO than just now. The

a sash of cherry-colored MORE ribbon,
fringed with black knotted at the
back. The loops were as small and
prim as could be made, and the ends
reached to the bottom Of the dress.
There was a high neck ribbon of cherry
color, and a hat made from the same
tone in silk muslin. Bright red has
been accepted only few seasons as
summer color Formerly it was
thought too fiery in appearance for
comfort. Tempered with white, it now
ha sthe full summer approval of those
to whom it is becoming at any season.
A model in what summer gowns may
be was worn at the Suburban. OF
forget me-not blue muslin, the drop
skirt of white organdie, was frilled
with tiny ruffles to the knees. The
tunic was ornamented with narrow
black silk lace inserting, and the bod
ice was much trimmed with black en-
tredeux and edge. White roses and
black aigrettes topped the black ma
line turban A white silk petticoat was
worn with this pretty frock, and the
waist was lined with white taffeta.
Another race gown which attracted
wondering admiration was of white net
applique, with white satin, and made
over white taffeta, of which material
simply enormous quantities have been
sold this season. Notice the band of
white satin at the foot of the drapery.
This is the safest and latest way to
finish all net and lace skirts.
A costume of white organdie, veined
with white Valenciennes and worn over
wild rose pink lawn, is beautiful ex-
ample to follow in making a garden

Miss Willing was of the proudest

such families whose women would
never on any account wear the extreme

When young Astor came to WOO he

Then Mrs. Astor told them! She ex-
planned that she did not care to enter
tain while her husband was fighting;
and as for the autumn, we'll, neither her
husband nor her son had been very
well; and she intended to take both
abroad for the winter!
Now it is summer time again and
Mrs. Aston is home, but society sees
little of the young couple. With a
quiet persistence they have gone TO

society is watching and asking How

Philanthropy was defined by Car
Isle as giving some good thing to a

a home or husband that is not in
need of this philanthropy, and young
Mrs. Aston has set to work to fill such
a need in her own home.

and it never would do for a customer
to recognize next year a pattern she
had seen on the counters the season be-

Some women are brave enough to
pick out a becoming bargain and wear
it two seasons because it pleases them.
No shop could afford to retain any but
goods which have standard merit.
White organdie with black dots
keeps up its price well. Fifty and six
ty cents the yard is the usual charge
for this style of thin goods, even in
these weeks of reduced values. One
reason for this exception among low
cred prices is that black dotted white
muslin is good style year in and out.
At the same moment it is difficult to
find enough of this material with spots

Larger spots, or 'blots," as a fastidi-
Gus woman calls them, are obtained
readily. And so are pinhead dots. The

USEFUL POINTS ON BATHING IN
THE SURF.

The seashore is a good place for
those who are robust and have good
strong hearts to select for spending a
vacation. Those who have heart trou-
BILE do not find the seaside so pleasant
On some days its tendency TO make
them. blue in the face is certain enough
evidence that It done not agree with
them.
Persons in good health should go in
bathing once a day. Twenty minutes
is long enough for a bath; to stay in
longer than that time neutralizes the
good effect of the water. After com
ing out of the bath take a vigorous
rub with a crash towel to avoid TAX
ing cold. Come out of the water If
there is the least chill before that
time. II there is danger of cold take
a tablespoonful of brandy in water af-
ter the bath. Never go into the surf
until two and a half or three hours
after meals, or you may bring on
cramps.
l always advise a bathing suit made
in one piece; no skirts or strings, short
sleeves and semi-low neck. Bare feet,
too, are advised rather than the wear
ing of stockings which are no protec-
ton If a crab wants to bite your toe
A canvas bathing shoe is the best pro-
lection, for they are heavier and harsh
er and are not 50 tempting TO the crab,
for a soft stocking and a soft toe is a
combination irresistible to most crabs.
For bathing dresses the best mater
ial is mohair serge that sheds the
water. wooden bathing suit soon
gets heavy and soggy. The lint from
the wooden garments, too, comes off on
the skin and helps to obstruct the
pores. OF course the waist OF the dress
can be lined 2ith white muslin. which.
in degree, is protection from lint
or irritation.
After taking the bath go home and
lie down to rest for an hour. AT II
O'Clock in the morning is the best time
for bath, an hours nap will bring one
to lunch time.
Those who care for the complexion
should, before going into the water, ap-
ply some reputable cold cream to the
skin; also on coming out OF the surf.
The care Of the skin should be more
unremiring In summer than In win
ter, as the rays Of the sun have a dele

Always wear an oilskin cap when
bathing. II the hair could be washed
out with fresh water as soon as one
came out of the water the brine would
not do any harm, but when il Is allow

eventually rots the hair.
Any one not naturally strong should
battle early in the day. One in that
state OF health should not remain in

and then should take a brisk rub with

GOTHAM'S RICHEST
YOUNG MATRON.
Mrs. John Jacob Asto.'s Remarkable
Traits are Making High
Society Wonder.

''It is the metamorphosis of wom-
an" so said the Chaperone the other
day as she saw Mrs. John Jacob Aston
strolling through Central Park with
her son; "once she was society
queen, but now" and a deep drawn
sigh showed plainly that Mrs. Astor
had dropped from the high pedestal
upon which she had once stood.
There is a story current in New York
society that, exactly one year ago, an
arrangement was made in the Astor
family, or, as more plebian folks would
express it, bargain was struck. That
it was that, hereafter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Aston should go their separate ways.
Or, as that expression has been mis-
ccretru"ted into a meaning not pleas

Some one has come along with a new
notion about why woman dearly loves
bargains.
The idea is that women do not pur-
sue cheapened prices because they
meanly want to buy goods under their
rightful values.
On the contrary, says the discoverer,
it is the creative, the mother spirit in

expended. The young matron brought
very economical ideas with her from
Philadelphia, but upon the boy she has
shown no stint He has the most ex-
pensive play-houses, the most elabor-
ate little stable, and the biggest ken
nels of any eight-year-old boy in ex-
istence.
Toward herself Mrs. Aston has been
exceedingly close. She has so carefully
husbanded her husbands fortune that
it has positively suffered nothing from
the ownership of a family. Compared
with his expenditures as a young blood
of Gotham his present outlay is moth
ing. He could truthfully advise the
grocer's clerk that it is cheaper to get
married than to stay single.
The young matron's economy showed
itself in the furnishing of Ferncliffe,
the lovely family country seat at
Rhinebeek. Rather than hire an or
chestra for her house parties she pur-
chased an automatic piano which plays
all the operas and popular airs. She
furnished only when necessary, and
year after year deferred making any
improvements on Ferncliffe. I'VE are
gone so much she said to shop keep
er who pressed a tapestrv upon her,
"and Ferncliffe is so nicely furnished.
1t needs nothing"
AN ECONOMIC BUYER.
The same shop keeper said to her one
day: why do you purchase any more
of that drapery? You have 800 yards
of it in your house now
Because it is the only drapery you
have for 49," said she, land l win not
pay over SO yard for hanging"
The tale of her chair covers is true
one. Desiring to cover her drawing
room chairs with shrouds for the sum-
mer, she ordered the covers cut and
sent home, with one as pattern. THE
maids can make them up" said she, so
saving about 500.
Society still claimed her largely, but
she did not allow it to draw her hus-
bands dollars from him. Throwing
open her home into that of her moth
er-in-law, she arranged matters so that
balls and dinners were joint ones, paid
largely from the elderly purse.
Now since the change it is said that
Mrs. Astor will live quietly at Fern
cliffe all summer with her boy, taking
a few weeks off in Newport at the cot
tage of her mother-in-law, but there
will be no large entertainments. Mr..
Astor has another book to write, and
the young wife will keep the house
quiet.
In her girlhood Mrs. Aston was the
best pistol shot of Philadelphia. To
this she added tennis, and she is now
a golfng expert. She was about to
compete with NBeatrix Hoyt, but was
prevented from doing so last fall by
the crowds that gathered at Ardsley-
on-the- Hudson to see her play. When
she saw the multitude of spectators she
withdrew at the desire of her husband.

one stays in the water, starting with

Island in the Sea for Anarchists.

The Rev. Z. NJ. Fuller of the Firs
Baptist churce spoke yesterday on eau
thority and Liberty" his arguments
completely ovcrthrowing the theories OF
the anarchist, Emma Goldman, who
believe in no God.
Mr., Fuller took his text from Gal
aians. 5: | "S.and fast, therefore, in
the liberty wherewllh Christ has made
us free" and Teter, 3: l6 ;"As free
and not using your freedom for cloak
of wirkedness. bul rs bond servants of

1.-The subject announced in our city
for one of the lectures of the anarchist
Emma Goldman, was "Authority VS..
Liberty" As thought of the subject
and of the conditions which would exist
if we We're to realize what the uame
anarchist implies, hear'sick turned to
the contemplation IF what He has esab-
lished who knows all men and under

Authority is absolutely essential to true
Lib rty."
";etwcrn us and the anarchist there
is no common ground except The dcslr-
ablityof banshing the present ills of The
human race. As to the method, the
anarchist says, 'Overlhrow all law and

The Christian says, The currents Of

fusion would follow Ii is nee ssary to
turn these currents into certain safe

"a few considerations on the nature
of true liberty will be of value as to
enable us to discern its relation to anthor-

III. "l.ibcrty means Control of the

"Ilere the anarchist differs with US.
He says that the measure of authority is
the measure of the curtailment OF
liberty. Then no anarchist who is
honest can be any longer content to live
in n country where au hority prevails,
and no doubt the government would be
willing to give them an island in the sea
where they may work out their theories.
