chance can cite two which are from Sood
houses and which are most charmlngly ele'
CANT.
The first is of velvet of deep purplish red,
trimmed with sable. A deep sable cape
covers the shoulders and is finished with
black guipure lace in pointed design. Around
the bottom of the coat is an applique OF
the same lace. The other garment is OF a
fine beige cloth, trimmed with high collar OF
fur and bands of braid. Still another coat
that is made in the same shape and length
is of gray cloth, trimmed with lines Of black,
which give a most charming effect.
The long half-fitted redingote, with fancy
collar and revers, is also in fashion, and is
the correct demi-saison wrap, and is quite
classic in its folds. 1t is made in lightweight
and waterproof cloth, and can also be lined
with fur, and have fur collar, revers and
cuffs if desired, for midwinter wear
The short jacket in bolero or Elton shape
will be again fashionable, and while not
nearly so new style as the long coat, is
rather smarter and more youthful in appear
ance. The newest of these short coats are
now made with long pointed waistcoats,
which give a much longer waist line than
ever. In velvet there are any number of
these short coats which are immensely
smart, and are trimmed with the most ex-
penslNe IuTS ana real lace.
The waistcoat of ivory panne, embroidered
in gold, is one of the newest trimmings The
double capes and l'aiglon collars are made
of these same ivory panne, with the gold
braiding. The skirts to be worn with these
short coats are made with flaring hounce
and are trimmed with folds of the cloth.
One costume in shaggy camel's-hair has
hood collar and is trimmed with deep brown
applique. This costume is made with bolero
and has deep cuffs of velvet.
Fur is to be in great demand, and fox,
lynx, sable and ermine skins are made into
collars and capes, and a sable cape is very
necessary in any modern trousseau.
The heads and tails are used in trimming
but there are many capes and collars made
absolutely plain. Fur coats are most fash
ionable, and some are long, while others are
quite short. In fact the same models are
used as for cloth coats.
ruff or boa is now necessary with every
out-of-door costume. For the moment the
ones made of cut tulle, chiffon or ostrich
feathers are the smartest, but those of fur
are to be the correct style for midwinter.
One of the fads of the moment is the wear
ing of natural violets. Bunches of these
+ fragrant blossoms are pinned on the hats,
half hidden in the crepe bows on the mourn
ing bonnets, but the violets are worn only
BY persons in mourning, be it understood.
Another expensive fancy is for the fine
applique medallions Of lace, in violet pat
tern. on the black net gowns, but the hand
work and applique of today are almost be-
vond belief in their beauty of workman
ship and expense.

wait until after the wedding. even went so
far as to consent to act as master OF cere-
monies. These were simple enough, and
when they were finished | conducted the
bridal party out to their conveyance, which
was hltched to the fence. The bridegroom
led the horse up to stump for the bride TO
get on and as she reached for the saddle

Apart from the special care necessitated
by deeayed teeth, to which, without doubt,
are due most of the septicemic accidents, it
is necessary to assure asepsia Of the mouth
by means Of antisepties. Not that varieties
Of dentrifriees are lacking, but judicious
selection is necessary, for in the first place
those which are hurtful must be avoided.
The composition Of dentrifrices has under
gone a change since the declaration Of war
upon the microbe. Originally these prepara-
tions were used mainly to keep the mouth
clean, to whiten the teeth, and at the same
time to harden the gums. They answered
their purpose TO a certain extent in regard
to the first point, because essential oils,
which have a considerable power in destroy
ing bacteria, entered into their composition.
Alkaline powders, however, as well as der
tiffices Of which alcohol is the base, are

Tho first suecess-of the season has been the
long coat, which has had an extraordinary
reception. Very plain and very full, 1t stu
sccentuates the long. straight lines which
we have been endeavoring to obtain for sew
eraI months. The length is both pretty and
reasonable, reaching below the knee The
trimmings are reserved for the reyers and
show most exquisite hand embroidery.
The chic effect of the garment demands
that while it apparently conees's the figure

The mouth is certainly the center OF the
system most favorable to the Matching, de-
veIopment and preservation of microbic or
ganisms. 1t contains moisture, heat, air
and products remaining in the cavity itself,
or remains of food, all Of which are condl-
lions that, according to recent researches,
favor the reproduction of bacteria-tem-
perature of 80 to 35 degrees centigrade,
oxygen contained in the air, aerobes, or
ganic remains, alkali and acidity.
1t may, therefore, be said that hygiene of
the mouth occupies an important place in
the prophylaxis of disease. The ignorance
of the public as to these facts can only be
explained by its Indifference, for out of
series of 200 persons of every country ex-
amined in a state clinic only about 100 were
found who took care of their mouths

potash for garging the mouth. The char
acteristic Of this agent is to give of oxygen
to the organic substances with which 1t is
placed in contact. 1t thus succeeds in de-
stroying the microbe by an energetic oxy-
dalton. 1t ought to be used after every meal
in a solution Of one-tenth in a glass Of water.
Microbes Of the gums and stomach are

calculated to dry the mouth.
A product which should never be USED IN
these preparations is salol. NM. Gille and
GARNER have described in an original
pamphlet, the accidents which may result
from its use. Besides the possible general
phenomena of poisoning, such as fugitive
erythema and slight troubles Of the dlges-
ton, the principal inconvenience IN the use
of salol as a dentifrice consists in its pro-
ducing IDENTITIES around the lips. These
IDENTITIES most frequently assume the form
of eczema, and thus arises orbicular eczema
of the lips.
II is therefore, preferable to abstain from
this substance, which may be advantage
ously replaced by resorcin, salicyllc acid,
choral and formol. NJ. Grosrichard (of Bes-
ancon) has recommended permanganate or

How to Grow Graceful.

Undoubtedly, natural grace is thing
to be most highly priced. But, after all,
it is comparatively rare, and graceful
ness of carriage and manner may be ac'
auired by almost any one who chooses
to take pains over it.
Up to sixteen or seventeen girl
should never wear stays or tight cloth
ing. She should have low, square heels
to her boots, and they should never be
allowed to run down on one side. The
boots themselves should be made on hy'
genie principles not to cramp or COM
press the feet.
A capital and graceful carriage may
be obtained by the following daily
course of exercise, which, be it observed
must be followed out faithfully and
constantly, and performed with the
stays off, aud high heels for the time
abandoned.
Take pair OF dumb bells of fair
weight, and hold them up TO the shout
ders, expanding the chest we'll. Throw
the head we'll back, and walk up and
down with measured steps, extending
the foot we'll out, and pointing the toes

downward. If this is practiced for a
quarter of an hour daily, it will soon
become quite natural to poise the body
gracefully. and to carry the head erect
without stiffness or exertion.
Light dumb bell or Indian club exer-
else daily is also beneficial, or, if pre-
ferred, calisthenic movements with arms
alone.
Standing erect with the chest ex-
banded, and the head thrown back, the
arms should be stretched out before one
on level with the shoulders, the open
palms together. They shonld then be
flung back as far as they will 90, still
extended, and the movements many
times repeated. Another excellent ex-
ercise is to draw back the arms till the
clenched hands rest close to the arm
pits, then to fling them out to their full
extent.
Eastern women owe much of their
erecG and graceful carriage to their
habit Of balancing loads and water jugs
upon their heads. A most excellent
exercise is to place light weight, such
as a book or small basket, upon the
head. and to practice walking about the
room, keeping it balanced.
