high and the front set with chiffon
plisse, and it is also edged with an
elaborate ruching of the same. On the
panache of loops. A short cape of the
velvet holds bow of pink ribbon like
that on the top.
We may as well talk little about the
rest of the children's attire. White
muslin froeks for the tiny tots will al
ways be the best, but they are SO fine
and SO daintily made that they come
too expensive for anything but best.
For every day ginghams and like goods
are employed. There are three dis
tinct styles of shapes for dresses for
very small children. One is the French
shape. which comes down over the hips
very low, and the Mother Hubbard
shape for children under Z. Besides
these is the regular baby waist shape,
and this Is the most useful of the
three, for it can be worn by children of
as we'll as by the baby.
For outdoor wear for fall there will
be some of the prettiest little coats that
have ever been made. Some are of
velvet. others of rough wool and more
of the ribbed velutina, which is such
excellent stuff to wear.
I like little boys better than do girls,
and so will not forget them. as too
many do. One suit for boy of 5 or
is of navy blue velutina, in sailor style.
The big collar was of white linen, and
the deep cuffs matched Russian blous-
es are still in style for small boys. One
of blush gray has the stitching on the
inevitable sailor collar, done in strap
ping of white. The belt is also white.
This kind of suit is handsome, COM
Portable and dressy for boys. There are
military overcoats for the little fellows
made of blue. with velvet collar and ca
puchin hoods. The eagle must roost on
the left sleeve, or no boy would want
it. Another handsome overcoat for
boys is called the little duke. 1t is of
very dark melton or cloth. and down
the front is wide strip of black as
trakhan. with fancy black silk frogs.
The cuffs and collar are of the astra-
khan. 1t is fine coat. The size is so
adjusted that the bottom of the coat
reaches just to the knees.

Rousseau and the Impostor.


On one occasion Rousseau composed
an opera, which was performed before
King Louis XIV, and met with the
royal approval The king sent for him,
and If he had put in an appearance he
would probably have obtained a pen
sion. He was, however, of retiring
disposition and could not bring himself
to face the court. To his friends he
gave as a reason his republican opin-
ions, but his real reason was his shy
ness. Accordingly he fled from the
court and sought the privacy of coun-
try inn While he was there a man
came in who began telling the company
that he was the celebrated Rousseau
and proceeded to give an account of
the opera, which he said had been per-
formed before the king with great
success.
Most men in Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the impostor, but this extraordinary
man felt only pity and shame. II
trembled and blushed So" he tells us
in his Confessions" 'sfor fear the man
should be found out that it might have
been thought that was the impostor."
He was afraid that somebody might
come in who knew him and expose the
pretender. At last he could bear it no
longer and slipped out unobserved.
Very few people would treat an i'm
postor like at.-Westminster Review.

In buying an oilcloth for a floor en-
deavor to obtain one that was manufac-
tured several years before, as the Ion
ger it has been made previous to use
the better it will wear, from the paint
becoming hard and durable An oil
cloth that has been made within the
year is scarcely worth buying, as the
paint will be defaced in very little
time, it requiring a long while to sea-
son. An oilcloth should never be scrub
bed with brush, but after being first
swept it should be cleaned by washing
with large soft cloth and lukewarm
or cold water. On no account use soap
or take water that is hot, as either of
them will certainly bring off the paint.
When it has dried, you may sponge ii
with milk, which will brighten and pre-
serve the colors, and then wipe it with
a soft, dry cloth.

FOR
(>hildrer,

When the little girls get their new
fall bonnets on, it will be necessary to
look for them like the needle in the
haystack that we have always heard
of the kind that have ever seen. They
are so big and so complicated that one
scarcely knows what to call the special
style. Some shown me today were so
convoluted and twisted and tortured
into different shapes that I could not
keep the surgical description of a s'com-
pound, comminuted fracture" out of
my mind. These are all that and more.
The silk is of rich and always beautiful
faille, and this is shirred SO that the
shirrings make the crown, and where
the gathers are put in there are full
ruches of crepe lisse. The frill to the
bonnets is about three inches wide,
and the edge is stiffened, so there is
where the convolutions come in. The
friu is made double over the forehead
and is in some cases lined with pale
tinted silk, but is always edged with
the crepe lisse frillings, or really ruch-
ings, since the edges are curled under.
There is false plume made of chiffon
set on the top of the bonnet, and some
of them have two and three. These
match the face lining. The frills are
just four times as long as the size Of
the bonnet at the face. Ribbon strings
are tied in big bow under the chin.
Some have capes and others have none.
I shall mention but one in detail. This
is for child of 3. There is diamond
shaped and stiffened crown of pale blue
china silk, and around this is a soft
frill Of the same between one and two
inches wide. This stands out all around
the crown. The body of the bonnet is
of brown silk tucked closely. The frill
in front is most ample and made of
brown silk lined with the blue, and di-
rectly along the edge is row of ecru
lace applique. On the top is looped
bow of brown double faced satin rib
bon. Strings are of the same. The size
of the bonnets is so disproportionate
that they are almost ridiculous. Yet
when l saw rosy little face in one
was instantly converted.
The two pictured bits of bonnets are
made one of gray velvet and the other
of gray felt, and both are trimmed
with chiffon, the velvet one having
pink chiffon and the felt pale blue and
also white. White plumes also deco
rate it on the crown, and there is q
funny bunch Of doubled silk and two
plumes, both white. One is laid across
the crown, and the other is brought
down the side of the bonnet. Strings
of pale blue finish what is certainly 81
remarkable production. This is very
inappropriately called a Gainsborough.
The other bonnet has the brim raised

success.


There are three prominent lines in
the palm-the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the inner
boundary Of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefnger.
If we imagine the left hand to be a
map, with the fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. 1t thus skirts the base or
'uprise" of the thumb. known as the
uprise of Venus. If it is deep, broad,
of good color and extends nearly or
quite to the wrist and if the rest of the
hand indicates vitality and cheerful
ness, the subject may be expected to live
to green old age; he has good dispo-
sition and the qualities which good
health and good temper usually create.

SPOILED CHILDREN.

Cure Them by Teaching Them Mn
tual Consideration.
A summer hotel is a good place to
study children's dispositions. The little
troop which races around the piazzas
and plays hide and seek on the lawn
has all the characteristics of circle of
grown ups. You see the miniature con-
ceited man, the tiny woman back bitter
and the embryo fiirts of the next dec
ade; but, above all, you are painfully
aware of the prevalence of spoiled chill
dren.
For instance, the lunch bell rings.
Bobby. aged 4. dashes up to his mother
and tries to pull her away from a wom-
an friend with whom she is talking.
Mamma" he cries sharply. Mann

! nothing. A moment later he made an
other mistake.
"It's getting along" he said. Some

mot to speak of a girl who didn't
| know enough to keep STILL"
| For answer she gave kick that sent
the spray into his eyes. Then she
shrieked with laughter. His arms were
| beginning to get very tired, and it sud-
denly occurred to him that she also
might be fatigued.
"If you keep quiet a moment" he
| said, 'I'll swim around to you and hold
you up. That will rest you"
"Pshaw! Rest yourself. I'm all
right"
He paid no attention to the injunc-
tion, and few strokes brought him to
her side. The tide was running strong,
and they were drifting farther and
| farther from the shore.
"Just place one hand on me, If you
dare" she shouted, land I'll let go the
canoe. Then see how quickly it'll be
out of sight" The threat was effective.
1t was such pretty canoe. and he had
no desire to lose it. So, commenting
on her stubbornness, he waddled back
and took hold of his end again.
Then sound of oars was heard, and
soon two men in boat were within
few yards of them.
Say, there" was Bob's inquiry.
"what are you two trying to do?
Hold on a little longer" came back
the answer. "We'll have you safe in a
minute"
"We're all right; don't trouble" said
the girl
keep OFF, shouted Bob. 'If you
come any closer, you'll scratch the
paint on my canoe"
"What do you mean" inquired one.
"Do you mean to say that you care
more for the canoe than for-for"- He
hesitated.
'For me" she shouted. ''Yes, that's
it. For woman's only woman, and
good canoes boatw
After some parleying the boatmen
consented to be careful. With their as
sistance the canoe was righted, and
the friends made their way shoreward.
But the gossips in the small Hudson
river town have had good food for
much reflection, and the oldest dame
of them all admits that even she
doesn't understand it.
'Why, Jim tells me-" she said, "that
when they got ashore she didn't show
the least concern for the man. Now,
the least you would have expected
would have been that she'd throw her
arms about him and say that she
would never leave him."
"And didn't she?"

wrung the water out of her skirt and
laughed fit to KILL Then she said, kind
of short, Thanks and went into the

"And did the man seem cut up?'
''No. He just looked at his old canoe
sharplike and cussed. I'll have to
blow in ten to get it in shape again.

FoRTlTUDE.

n the battle goes against you
And your foes upon you press,
Do not yield your weapons to them;
Give not voice to your distress.
Up again and wage new battle;
Up again and strike fresh blows;
You may yet come off triumphant;
You may win the fight who knows9
Naught you'll gain by idle weeping;
Tears but add to your distress.
II the wicked world has wronged you,
At its hands, then, seek redress.
Bring to your assistance courage,
And the fight again begin,
Knowing industry and valor
In the end will surely win.
