CHOOSING YOUR CoLoRs.

You must not select the colors of your
dress in a shop-firstly, because it is
too public a place, and, secondly, be-
cause a shop has not the broad light
required to make your selection.
Let US take the first objection. Why
not choose your material in a public
place? Simply because the color of the
dress, not depending upon itself but
upon the effect it has on your com
piexfon. can only be chosen in a per
feet light. 1t must be tried before a
glass in a full light, bringing the var
ioue colorS to the face, so as to see
which is the most becoming.
1t would not only be disagreeable but
ridiculous to make spectacle of your
self thus in public. Send either for
large patterns or pieces on approval to
your home and have little experiment
tai trial in the manner l have recon-
mended. This will enable you to take
the opinion of your husband and thus
avoid the inconvenience which so many
women experience-that Of hearing her
husband cry out whenever she appears
in a dress. What pity the color is so
unbecomingi
This will continue until the dress is
worn out, for the more a husband
cares for his wife the more he likes to
see her well dressed and consequently
the more this involuntary cry is likely
to escape from his lips.
The light must be extremely good for
such a trial as this Naturally the eff
feet that the proximity of certain col
ors produces on the complexion differs
only by shades. OF course the most IN
becoming color will not transform a
white woman into negresS. But one
dress will give you fresh complexion,
a healthy complexion, whereas another
will have an exactly contrary effect.
A half light will not enable you to dis
crininate.

Moments Ace.

Why do women hesitate 20 tell their
age? BY common consent it is regarded
as very rude and boorish to ask a
woman categorical question regard
ing the number of her birthdays. Yet
there should be no difffdence on the
point and reticence upon the subject
is hard to explain. Except for some
reason connected with business, which
may find in accommodating years a han
dicap. man is usually very open
about his age and as ready to proclaim
it as his wife and his sister are to con-
ceal theirs. Probably the feeling in
the matter had its origin in the long
ago. when matrimony was the ordinary
woman's only desirable goal, and when
as she grew older her chances of find
ing mate diminished perceptibly, says
Golfers Weekly. The situation has so
entirely changed and spinsterhood has
become so inviting that we should ex-
pect to discover an alteration in the
manners of women on this point and
to find them quite candid as to their
claims to maturity or the reverse.
Fifty years today looks as 40 did
score of years ago. Thirty, always a
very winsOrne age. the age of woman's
most captivating beauty, is not now to
be distinguished in freshness and bloom
from %. Outdoor life is doing for
women what nothing else can do. MAX

TIE GIRL WITH A TEMPER.

An exchange has lately published an
article on The Girl With a Temper"
which contains some excellent advice
and viii bear repetition.
when a daughter not only begins to
show decided signs of temper, but is in
clined to boast that / am not one of
your nanfby pamby girls who cannot
stand up for her rights it is time to
convince her of her folly, or she Will
reap lasting discomfort later.
IF the woman with an unrestrained
temper is young and beautiful, much
may be forgiven her. In her amiable
moments she is so charming that the
words uttered in her unreasonable an
ger are almost forgotten, and me
chances are that she will plunge some
man into lifelong misery because the
habit of tempestuous fits, if not firmly
checked in time, will strengthen with
the wears.
IF the woman with a temper be plain
in person, she will render life very
dreadful for herself, but not necessarily
so for many other people. Her relatives
and friends will learn in time to shut
her out from their intimate c0unSalS-
to form a life for themselves from
which they will force her to Iecede by
degrees, and, in the end, to stand alone.
THE woman with a temper is seldom
well educated. She has not the concen-
tration and calm Of mind which lead to
the acquisition of knowledge. She may
possess a share of accomplishments,
may be little musical, little artistic,
may pass muster among the supertic-
ial. but the chances are against her
the restful knowledge that
comes of thoroughness.
Then beware of the girl who boasts
of her spirit if you would later avoid

Look For the Comic Side.

A very large proportion of the trials
and difficulties of life have a comic side
to them, and if we can only cultivate
the habit of seeing it we shall find
that we are provided with a most use
full armor against the lesser evils which
trouble US. Most of US can see the fun
ny side after the annoyance or diff
Guilty has passed ii. 1t is we'll that we
can do so, but it would be better far
if we could only realize it while it was
still present.
In great and crushing troubles all one
can do is to bow in submission, but
after all these come very rarely in a
lie. 1t is the little pin pricks of every
day existence which really sap the
strength and sadden the heartS and
against these an appreciation OF the
comic Will generally prove an effective
armOr. To those who realize the funny
side Of things the minor troubles are
simply mOlehills to be passed on the
journey of life, and they never ap-
pear to be mountains whose frowning
heights shut out all the sunlight and
every glimpse of the pleasant country
beyond.
1t is often said that woman has no
sense of humor. L am by no means
prepared to grant that is true, but 1
must confess that she would be all the
better for larger amount of it. The
fact is that woman's training is at
fault. Hitherto her sphere of action
has been very limited, and her ideas
and thoughts being necessarily limited.
too, she has suffered from the warped
sense of proportion which people must
have who look on life from behind bars,
insted of seeing it in it's entirety
among their fellows.
The woman who has really lived and
who has faced some of the graver
problems of life does not worry herself
nearly distracted over the delinquencies
of the cook, the impudence of the
butchers boy or inferiority of her
gown to even the simplest cos
tune of her neighbor, Mrs. Whatsoever
theway. She has learned that all those
things are really not worth vexing her
self about, and bears them with smiling
philosophy. sees the comic side Of
the very things which formerly would
have troubled her, and instead of mag
nifying them into troubles she beholds
their true proportion and smiles afresh
not only at her present superiority. but
at her past defeats.

Especial to the ntermountain Catholic. J
Paris, April 5.-Sinee the Prince of
Wales has adopted the new fad of din
ing informally, with London's smart
set, at the fashionable hotels. there
have been many requests for dinner
gowns in which to meet the prince.
They must be informal, yet elegant,
rich, but not startling, and must be as
dressy as it is possible for a high
necked and long sleeved dinner gown
TO be-
A gown was sent from Paris to Mrs
Arthur Keppel, that great London
beauty who was the sensation of the
last springs drawing rooms. 1t con-
sisted Of white net, sprigged with the
unle6t heather; it was built over a satin
striped white silk. and was arranged
with curVing flOunce of pink chiffon
around the foot. The bodice was
tucked over white satin and around the
neck there was a cerise band over
which was TO be worn a diamond dog
collar necklace. The belt was a point
ed one Of ceriSe.
The most charming little dinner coats
are fashioned of glace cerise silk, Dor
oered with n narrow band of ermine or
sable, or even Of chiffon ruching, which
answers the purpose nicely. These lit
Tie coats are cut upon Elton lines Win
out lapels, the front being cut away to
show the vest of the gown. Charming
little toQues, set well back upon the
head and made of the same bright
color and material as the jacket, are
worn, and there are many triiies in silk
and velvet to correspond with the hat
and coat.
Fan ribbons, long abandoned, are
coming back, and another returning
fashion is that of wearing bands Of
velvet around the wrists. But alas for
the simplicity of the decoration, these
bands are so studded with gems that
their cost exceeds that of precious
metal.
Since the raising of money for South
Africa has become the fashionable pas
time to the exclusion of all others, it
has grown the fancy to wear a ribbon
around the waist, to which is attached
a bunch of keys. Lady Randolph
Churchill, with a narrow watered silk
ribbon around her waist, from which
dangled certain keys of the store rooms
of the hospital ship Maine, took lunch
con with the Princess of Wales. who
wore a beautifully jeweled key which
opened the door of a royal bazaar for
the sending of supplies which were
bought and shipped to the invalids of
the Cape.

FASHIONS FADs.

Other little summer fads will include
the slipper fastened with an elastic
band which is twisted around the ankle
with bow attached to the front. These
make the ankles look slender, and are
greedily taken up as a pretty posi-
bility of an old fashion revived.
A dress for summer, if you would
have one modelled upon the favorite
Partisan lines, is of glace silk. in bright
est blue. The blue is made all the more
brilliant by the addition of silver pail
cites, which sparkle from the belt, the
neck and the yoke, and are again seen
at the head of the flounces which are
put on in 3, curious pattern around the
foot Of the skirt. This gown is for
piazza wear of an afternoon, or. if
made upon expensive lines, with neck
cut in point or square, is for evening.
The new neck is decidedly pointed,
and is for wear in street and house.
Many cOuturiereS are cutting the sum
nler net dresses with elbow sleeves and
pointed necks. The neck6 can. be filled
in with vests and beTthes. and the
sleeves can be heightened by gloves.
They are also making the lace sleeve
10 be worn under the elbow sleeve. The
lace sleeve is gathered along both
seams, so that it is a shirred sleeve. If
made Of chiffon, the sleeve is shirred
very thjCkly, so as TO require no lin
ing.
Summer skirt trimmings are varied.
yet all skirts show something around
the foot. If a ruffle is employed, it
varies in width from narrow to wide:
81 applique, it is put on in diamonds or
circles. and. between the figures there
are the most elaborate bits of sequin
or palette trimming.
Skirts have suddenly taken leap
into the very midst of fashions fuss
and feathers. The plain skirt could
once be worn with any fancy waist, the
elegance Of the toilette depending upon
the bodice alone. But now it is differ
ent; and the shops are filled with hand
some separate skirts which are to be
worn with plain waists and little Etons.

How Jennie June Got Her Name.

Mrs. ]. c. Croly, who has just round
ed her seventy years. is the literal en-
bodiment of the woIndn's movement,
being not only the progenitor of wO-
mans clubdom, but the pioneer press
woman of the country. Few of her
contemporaries know that her pen
name, Jennie Croly," is one of the
sweetest "reminiscences of her child
hood. When she was only u a gentle
man who had been visiting her family
wrote to friend:
She is the Juniest little girl ever
knew
In after years, when she made her
first adventure into print and sought
for a signature, she remembered the
quaint fancy and promptly became
"Jennie June"

FOR MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS.
Extravaganza in Dress Is One Great
Hindrance to Marriage.

The Pittsburg Catholic, speaking of
the reasons which deter men and wo-
men from entering the matrimonial
state, says that: Extravaganza in
dress rules too many, and that is one of
the reasons why there are fewer mar
riages. The young women have be-
come so fond of dress and the young
men have become frightened, and this
is not good for society or religion. APP
pearance is the rage; economy is at
discount; there never was a time
when dress was more seduIously stud
led than at present. 1t has been re-
duced to a system and the dressing of
the body is just as much an art as
sculpture and painting. 1t is disorder
that exists in both sexes of all ranks
and classes of society In fact, there
is a great deal more abuse in respect
to vanity of dress among the middle
and lower classes than exists among
those who are considered to be in posi-
lions Of wealth and opulence. If the
conditions Of ones calling regulated the
outcome, marriage might be more in
fashion"

Toilet Hints.

Never use hard water for washing.
If you cannot procure naturally soft
water, soften the hard by the addition
bOraX
When the face is dusty, do not at
tempt to cleanse it with cold water.
Instead give it a hot bath, using plenty
of good soap, and then rinsing it thor
oughly with plenty of warm water
Finally, sponge it with water that is
nearly cold.
People who suffer with perspiring
feet will find the benefit of bathing
them frequently with warm (not hot)
water, to which little ammonia has
been added. After drying, the feet
should be busted over with boracic
powder Bathing in alum water will
afford relief to burning and teDder feet

THE SILK SKIRT.

The glace silk skirt is made most
deliberately, with deep ruffles of chiffon
put on over colored silk, the top Of the
deep ruffles being caught down by tiny
lunches Of silk flowers. The skirts so
treated are no longer tight, but show a
tendency toward the umbrella, which
flares all the way around.
In summer fabrics skirts are lowered
and sprigged and made over a founda-
ton skirt Of gay color.
At first hint Of spring all the gay
world of Paris rushes off to the coun-
try places. Back from the Riviera in
the early part of March, or the last Of
February, they remain at home only
long enough to order fresh gowns and
away again to the country.

Fancy Sponge Bags.

The once humble sponge bag has be-
come thing of beauty under the at
tentions of the jeweller. It is no long
er of somber rubber, but of delicately
barred and striped rubber silk, lined
with a plain, pale color. Instead of
closing with the drawing string, which
has a habit of always being damp and
obstinate, it fastens- with a silver or
silver gilt clasp, such as the netted
purses have.

Celebrate Their Golden Wedding.

Upward of sixty of the friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen R. Potter gathered at
their country home in Albion Wednes-
day afternoon to assist in celebrating
the fiftieth wedding anniversary of this
worthy couple. The bride and groom of
half century were among the earliest
settlers in the town of Albion, the former
coming there with her parents, Duty
Green and wife, from New York as early
as 1841 and Mr.. Potter few years later.
The guests were largely composed of the
early settlers of the locality and the af-
ternoon pleasantly passed in recounting
the experiences of pioneer days. Mr..
and Mrs. Potter were the recipients of
many presents as a remembrance of this
pleasant occasion. Among those who
were in attendance were E. A. Burdick
and wife and Mrs. John S. Coon of this
city, and Paul Green and wife and S. r..
Thomas and wife of Milton.

Ladies Hurt In d Runaway.

Mrs. James Earle, of GAINESVILLE, was
injured in runaway accident Sunday in
the town of Fulton, being violently
thrown to the ground receiving injuries
that resulted in bad scalp wound and
several cuts. Mrs. Grant Walrath, who
was in the buggy with Mrs. Earle, was
injured about the hips and limbs. Mrs.
Earle and Mrs. Walrath hitched up a
horse and started to take drive. They
had gone but short distance and were
descending a hill when the buggy ran
onto the heels of the horse who at once
became unmanageable. The now fright
ened animal started to run. As the out
fit passed the Elmer Langworthy place
the ladies turned the horse into the
yard. 1t was here that the women were
thrown out and injured. The accident
proved most fortunate one as no bones
were broken. The horse was bruised.
It will be some time before the ladies
recover from their injuries.
