that the seven stages in her life may be
reckoned as composed OF multiples of sew

second seven childhood, the third seven
girIhood, the fourth group brings a fully
developed womanhood From twenty eight
to thirty-fye-the fifth seven-might be
called the infancy OF age, for in those
years one learns to exercise the faculties
and perceptions that have been developing
in The previous groups. Up to the age OF
foEty-t@o tie lessons go on. Character is
being maturei and fixed. the definite trend
OF life established. After that few changes
are made in the real person, Slight varIa-
tons and notifications OF opinion there
may be, but nothing deep or vital is like
iy to transform the life
The common phrases, "a confirmed old
bachelor" and "a confirmed old maid" APP
piled to unmarried men and women over
forty are tacit admissions Of that fact. in
timating that mental and physical habits,
are so strongly rooted that the adaptabili-
~ OF earlier years has ceased to exist, aud

new environment. The tale goes on. FIJI

VIENNA, July 1.-THE elegant sim
plicity which characterized feminine dress
for several seasons has evolved into the
most studied celebrations. The skirt par
ticularIy presents the elimination OF the
dressmakers' most ingenious devices for
applying masses of rich materials without
impairing the slender, clinging lines which
fashion makes obligatory. This necessi-
tates soft and sheer fabrics which will lend
themselves readily to the pleats and tucks
and founces of the modish skirt Dainty
summer fabrcs-organdies, mulls, and bat
istes-supply the newest fad for elaborate
summer frocks and are manipulated into
MODELS in when the makeup far exceeds
the cost Of the material. Laces have as
yet not been supplanted by any other trim
ming devices, and in accordance with pres
ent taste, must be in turn trimmed to at
tain the fashionable aspect. This is de-
monstrated in a rich model which has at
tracted considerable attention among the
connoisseurs of fashion in the Austrian
Kaiserstadt."
The skirt has an independent foundation
of ecru taffeta with hem unstiffened ex-
cept for such frmness as deep pleated
ruffle of the same material will allow.
Over the silk are arranged the knife-pleat-
ed folds of the finest India null Of deep
ecru shade and caught into the same belt
with the taffeta undersklrt. The bodice
is cut zen Princesse," with long tabs OF
Venetian lace made OF ecru linen and fin
ished with deep ruffie of ecru Valen-

cieunes lace yelled with a fringe OF the
same length of the lace and made of ecru
silk. Four Of these tabs fall over the
OF the pleated null in front, and two at
the back falling in long ends to the hem
Of the skirt and finished with Valenciennes
lace and ecru fringe. Two large enameled
buttons mark the end of the waist line in
the back seams. and the heavy Venetian
lace appliques the back Of the bodice, upon
which the null is slightly fulled over the
tight-ftting lining of ecru taffeta. Deep
revers and a collar at the back are also
composed of the Venetian lace and edged
with a sarpentine fcunee of ecru chiffon
edged with a bias fold OF ecru taffeta.
The pointed, unlined chemisette and
stock are of cream coiored guipure, and
a charming touch Of color is given by
bright cerise velvet band. which encircles
the collar and is caught at the throat with
an enameled button like those at the back
Of the polonaise The velvet band con-
tinues down the front of the chemlsette
and loses itself under the narrow folds of
a brightly colored scarf Of India silk,
which also supplies the cerise color har-
mony and ties over the bust with q knot
and ends finished with deep cerise silk
fringe. The tight sleeves of ecru null are
unlined and have deep pointed shoulder
pieces OF Venetian lace attached under Ct
series Of narrow trucks Of null. The wrists
and long bell crffs are likewise OF Vene-
tian lace. A large black picture hat Of
Neapolitan braid and trimmed with long
back plumes completes this costume.

EA Darcolt- vIsanal

The pristine simplicity OF the white
gown has likewise become legendary as an
other elaborate summer model fairly IL
illustrates. Shimmering write taffeta COM
poses the skirt and is relied with the
finest French organdie, also Of pure white.
The train is plain but edged with pleat-
ed ruffie Of the taffeta overlaid with an
other ruffle of Brussels lace and both
fiounces are attached to the skirt under
an applique of white Venetian point show
ing a floral motif. The front and sides of
the taffeta skirt are yelled with knife
pleatings of white organdie caught at in
tervals with deep insertions of Venetian
point. A pleated ruffle Of silk edges the
taffeta underskirt and supplies the neees-
sary body to the thin folds which veil it.
The polonalse, with its deep pointed
sides, is Of white taffeta yelled with organ
die, and is made very scant and tight, ft-
ting over the hips and back in ST te OF the
two deep box pleats which are laid at the
back and which constitute the train. A
deep floral border OF Venetian point edges
the polonsise, and three rows OF the same
rich lace form the shoulder garniture OF
the fchu OF white chiffon tied over the
bust with a fluffy bow. The elbow sleeves
OF white null lined with taffeta are up-
pliqued with Venetian point, and have
graceful jabot ruffies OF Brussels lace. Long
white kid gloves are worn with this rich
costume, which may figure equally well
as a rich house grown or as a Casino toll
iette, to be worn at social functions IN
fashionable summer resorts.

The snsptcion Cure.

Il would be quite happy If my husband
would not spend so much of his time at his
club" said Mrs Jones with a sigh.
Why don't you try the suspicion cure?"
said her intimate friend
What in the name az Susan B. Antho-
ny is the suspicion cure?" asked Mrs. Jones
in amazement.
Well" said the lady to the friend who
in turn told it to the Detroit Free Press"
my husband got in the habit of spending
his evenings at his club and l worried over
it for some time before I hit upon a plan
to keep him at home. At first l pleaded
with him. telling him how lonely 1 was

which meant midnight or later. Then l

THE "HooP-SKIRTD SCARE.
Some Writers Threaten Us with 1t
Every Year.

The fashion writer's are crying wolf
again. It is the same old annual wall
concerning hoop skirts. This year the
wall is illustrated with bugaboo women in
Filters" Of the early sixties-exaggerat
OF course.
No sane person supposes for an instant
that the crinoline will ever come back.
No one believes it less than the writer's
who predict its return. They simply do it
for space-rate considerations. 1t isn't a
particularly noble method of earning this
day their daily bread, but that is a matter
between themselves and the papers who
pay for it under the mistaken notion that
it is of interest" to their woman readers
and no one else would give the matter
thought enough to bother about it If only
they would not make the hoop skirt out
worse than it really was.
The women OF crinoliue days were ham
pered there is no doubt, by steel cages
they walked the world in. and by the
voluminous skirts they were forced to
wear-but as to saying that they couldn't
enter room without wrecking it, or going
down the street without colliding with
things generally. that is simply what a
rude creature would cali bosh. The ante
bellum women were just as graceful and
attractive with their big hoops and bell
sleeves as their newer sisters OF To-Day.
They are just as gone forever as spinning
wheels and horse cars. They disappeared
when the business woman was created
There wasn't room on the earth for the
two.
A recent letter from Paris" undertakes
with a Gne flow OF sarcasm to talk about
the disastrous effect the hoop skirt woman
used TO have on small, bay-windowed
parlors." and there was also a vivid pen
picture CT an employers CONSERVATION at
the territory pre-empted by his crinolined
clerk. Perhaps the special would have
saved her fine flow for another occasion
il she had stopped long enough to think
over the fact that the average old-time
parlor was square and large, and that
women's occupations were limited almost
entirely to teaching and sewing in the
hoop skirt stage of her evolution.
Another prophecy from the same source
is the revival of the hlgh-heeled shoe. 1t
hardly seems possible in these days OF
golf and common sense still, II may be
that the once-discarded fashion may come
again to market and that there will be
women foolish enough to buy them.

TRICKS OF THE MIND.
Some Funny Things Done MT n Re-
cent Fire.

ut is a laughable thing. after the fright
is all over" writes a woman from Prescott,
Ariz.. to the New York Tribune ito re-
call how differently different women are
affected in an extremity; or, in other
words. how the ruling passion shows
itself-if not in DEATH at least in good
scare. 1t was last Saturday, when the great
fire came that swept away the whole busi-
ness part OF the city and the central resi-
Dental portion In a single night. We were
several blocks away from the fire and on
the hill, so we could look right down over
the burning district. When, about mid
night, the wind sprang up and the flames
began to sweep up the hill everyone in our
vicinity began TO pack his or her trunk and
tie UP bundles ready for hurried exit to

having put on two OF her best dresses, ons

although the mercury was standing we'll
over the ninetles. Adorned In this fashion,
she began with infinite vigor to pump water
and drag about boxes bundles. and trunks,
the Precipitation meanwhile rolling down
her face in streams.
Another woman, an invalid, whose
wardrobe for the last few years had been
confined mainly to wrappers. remarked Sc
renely, Well. il is something to be thank
full for in case like this that you haven't
much to lose and sat herself down in
composure to await results. Still another,
