If you take advantage of the surprising
bargains now to be obtained in the shops,
purchase a lawn In neat stripes, pink and
white or black and white, and have the
bodice trimmed with @rosettes." This
is quite chic just now, as any one may
determine by a glance at the morning
frocks worn at shore resorts, at cottage
| or hotel.
The bodice is cut single breasted, with
not much fullness in the front, and none
whatever In the back. Across the front
are arranged bands of lace inserting, from
beneath which the lawn has been cut
| away. These bands are an inch and a
half wide. They meet across the chest
and fasten with small hooks. Do not use
hooks and invisible eyes, for you require
| something which snaps shut and remains
closed. About five, six or seven rows Of
lace win be used on a bodice, according
to the size of the individual,

The new mode of presenting sticks Of
sealing wax for sale is a change from the
former custom of making it in slender
rods. The new sticks are half the size,
fat and square of aspect. The colors
delight an artists eye. the cool yellows,
lettuce-green, a brilliant emerald shot
with silvery flakes. several blues and
grays. Showiest Of all is a brilliant cherry
pink, like the syrup that underlies that
queen of June desserts-a cherry pie
This beautiful pink wax and the varying
shades of carnation, rose and crimson
way are a welcome change from the old
and ugly shades of red sealing wax The
crude yellow-reds of tomato, vermilion,
brick-red and blood-color blush for shame
at the contrast between their garish tints
and the gamut of rose-pink and crimson
tones. of the new sealing wax Brown
wax. especially the chestnut and golden
brown shades, maintains its popularity,

One of the great differences between
men and women is that the former are
not ready to burst into railing accusation
either to the person who has annoyed
them or to those about them. Women
like to have a good grumble. We think It
a relief. and feel better tempered after
it. A good growl is as soothing to US as
a cigar is to a man. Blu in that groWi
what mischief we may do! We accent
uate our supposed injuries by merely yoic-
ing them, and the sense of them grows
upon us. A feeling of having been rather
traitorous in our remarks, too, renders US
uncomfortable, and his we resent in our
manner to the unfortunate cause OF the
original misunderstanding.
One thing that I would impress upon
every girl beyond everything else. is the
difference between the bright girl and the
smart girl. The bright girl IS the CHEEKY
-good-natured girl whose smile is IKE sun
shine in a shady place. The smart girl
is she whose tongue is like forked summer
lightning. blasting everything 1t touches.
No friend is safe from her gibes. No af-
lection is too tender for her ridicule. No
affliction so piteous 1t escapes her mock
ing. People laugh at her, and repeat her
sharp speeches, and you think it must be
a fine thing to be that clever. Believe me,
my dear, wit is the greatest curse a
woman ever falls heir to. unless, as only
happens about once in a million times,
she has sense enough and heart enough
to balance it.

quently as possible. Every day is not too
often to change the hosiery, for the pores
in the soies of the feet are the largest
in the body. and are constantly sending
out poisonous secretions. The feet,
cramped as they are in tight shoes all
day. and most of the night, are deprived
of the benefits Of ventilation, and thus
compelled to absorb much of their own
excretion. which gives rise to many trou-
bies.
There is a new appliance which seems
likely to tighten the labor of ~laundresses.
Half a dozen rubber balls about an inch
in diameter are suspended beneath a
handle so that they revolve independent
ly of each other. The clothes are soaped
and spread over a board, and the wash

linen as brushes do. and may be used on
delicate fabrics with safety.

Playing ennis in bathing suits Is the
latest fad at Newport. Somebody has as
