For a slender figure, svelte, yielding
and graceful, is the French gown Of the
first sketch, blue and white foulard
with herringbone jour in white silk,
yoke of thick guipure threaded with
satin ribbon and boa of silk muslin
edged with chantilly lace.
The popularity Of foulard is unbound
ed perhaps because it adds decided
utility and wearableness to it's beauty.
This costume illustrates, too, the dec
orative value OF opsnwoTk bennington

skirts of moderate length this tasteful
stitchery imparts a particular cachet.
There is no doubt, then, as to the crea-

make it brittle; hence they should only
be used where there is preponderance
of oil. While vaseline often prevents
hair from falling out. it also makes it
darker; so the caution to rub it on the
scalp and avoid getting it on the hair
is especially important to fair haired
women.
There are many methods Of perfum-
ing the hair, which is much a fad now
adays. The scent can be put in the
rinse water or on the hair just before
it is dry or a perfumed cap can be
worn at night. 1t is best, however, not
to confine the hair at night. Braid it
loosely or have it flowing IL 1t does not
snarl easily.
Do not use hot irons on the hair If
you wish to keep it silky and long.
Tight crimping pins are also injurious.
If it must be curled. do it up loosely in
kids or soft paper. A soft curl is much
prettier than crimps.
Do not tie the hair up tight on the
head. 1t not only lOOsens the roots and
is a prolific source of badness, but it
makes impossible that soft, loose, pref
ty effect which is essential In modern,
fashionable hairdressing.
Well kept hair in healthy condition
should be soft and pliable, with a rich
silky luster that is the most exquisite
frame for any face, old or young.

--TURES.
SOME NEyts. ,.t... s,-,.
The Regent 4

a Correspondence.l -
k %July 1.-The Bible tells US
e. NEyslory of a woman is her hair.
lg thaf~omen seem to delight in tor
10 sag it into strange fancies. and Just
n 6w the aureole is disappearing I'M
favor of pile of waved and i'll
shaped masses of hair, very little OF
which grows ~on the woman's own
head.
The latest agony in hairdressing Isl
called the regent dip. This is wrought
by having a small waved switch with
loop to fasten it with. The tOunda-
ton is a slender covered hoop of wire,
and to this is sewed hair all around.
This is waved and the natural hair Isl
combed down over the face, tntil the
other part is drawn down so that i'd
encircles the whole of the head. When
the AL round pOmpadour frame" Isl
firmly fixed, the natural hair is ready
to be brought up outside the other and
twined into a knot at the top of the
head. This may be done as described,
carried up in looser bands or brought
up high in front. The regent dip
finishes the style by furnishing the soft
mass of hair that is brought down
deeply over the forehead. There are
many ways Of putting this on, each
being given a slight individual touch.
The natural hair. even if quite thin,
looks well and perfectly natural when
done in this way, providing the colors
match.
Speaking of the .colors matching re-
minds me that even natural hair does
not always match, as l know young
lady whose hair is almost black on her
head, but as it nears the ends it be-
comes a reddish brown. Another has
almost white hair on her head, but the
ends Of it for some ten inches are still
black. So these two come under the
unjust suspicion of having dyed their
hair.
There are some misguided girls who
still wear their hair in the pompadour
pure and simple without the regent dip.
but they will soon mend their ways.
l fancy this style is quite English,
and with a little change it would BEL
come the most Of our dainty Americanh
girls, but somehow l think that the
French faces would not look well at all
with the hair dressed so. Anyway, the
regent dip is an English fad.
Seen under the irregularly shaped
hats of the present day this waved and
undulating way is pretty, and yet the
wind makes sad havoc with the loosely
fastened locks.
Suppose the lady has bright golden
hair and suppose she wore a gown OF
the rich new royal blue, with a hat to
match, with no end of fine chiffon and
tulle and delicate flowers, and whole
lot of filmy chiffon or lace around the
neck, wouldn't she look too sweet tolive2l
And we will continue to suppose that
she had this dress of yelling made with
a round dozen of f1ounces, and these
reaching to the waist, and that they
each had row Of lace with trou trou
edges and through them velvet ribbons

A lovely toilet Of black crepe de

fully embroidered in black silk cord,
with little insertions of black lace. The
skirt is cut tight to the knees, whence
comes a shaped fiounce of the embroid-

frills of chiffon. The simple banded
bodice has a deep falling collar of the
same embroidery, with an inner vest
of white tulle.

The number of flounced dresses one
sees now Is great. A very pretty
fancy and one which seems to havel
caught on" as the boys say, is the
way Of making lawns with many
fiounces, each having a row of white
valenciennes edging. Even when the
lawn or other thin material is used the
edging Is white. The waist is also gar-l
nished with the narrow lace. With ALI
this fiummery a sash of ribbon belongs,
either the heavy quality fringed out or
the gauZy kind, which seems betterl
adapted to the thin goods Black veil
ing, grenadine and lawns, both cotton
and linen, may be trimmed with white
or black lace. The black is not So
snowy, but is more elegant.
A very rich effect is obtained in a.
new importation, and that is by having
dress Of fine meshed lace and over
this another, or at least a deep hounce
of very coarse lace. This does not
mean cheap lace, but just the rich and
heavy variety. String colored point de
Yenise is a most effective kind for thisI
use. and the more open designs are the
best.
Perhaps it would be well to particu-l
larize, so that If any one wished to-
make such a gown she would know al
little more. The lining is in taffeta,,
in ivory or cream white. Over this ISL
the fine white brussels net, made sol
that the outside is a trifie looser than
the princess lining. The thick lace is!
set on in form Of tunic or as two deepl
founces. The fine lace has a scallopedi
edge, and two edges are brought to-
gether in front and the scallops joined
by tiny bows Of ribbon, and each has a;
small strass buckle.
A cream colored yelling has 16 folds
all around the skirt, which is a demi-
train. These folds reach but to thei
hips, where they are Joined by a corse-t
let of thick string colored lace of thei
heaviest variety. This fits closely all
around and fastens invisibly in thel
back. The waist is made of folds, with
a bolero Of the lace. Bruges is a good
lace for this kind Of use.

Professor Koch believes, that
there is no danger Of the direct
infection of tuberculosis by con-
sumption of the milk or flesh Of

While this may be calculated to
allay public fear as to the alleged
widespread causes of disease pro-

such milk or meat should be con-
sidered safe or wholesome.
Already there is much talk of
abandoning the health inspection
of milk and m eats on the score
that there will be no more neces-

be entertained for moment, The
public can never be made to be-
lieve that tainted meat and in

food merely because tuberculosis
