ARIsIAN STYLES IN AUTUMN HATS AND GOWNS

longer one. For walking a moderate
length is both sensible and picturesque.
but for indoor wear every woman is
likely to cling to trailing draperies.
Some daring souls are trying 20 bring
into vogue even for house service a
short, round skirt Their success has
not been brilliant. although the length
is convenient one for dancing par.
ties The trouble is that il does not
look well except on the figures OF short,
trim women or young girls. At present
fashion favors the short walking skirt
for hard outdoor service. the round
skirt for dressy morning wear. the
slightly trained one for afternoons and
the very long trained skirt for evening
functions. CATHERINE TALBOT.

People who suffer from tired eyes
may be glad to try French authors
accidentally discovered remedy. 1t is a
simple method of restoring the vision
TO freshness.
One night when engaged In writing
an article his eyes gave out before he
could finish. and he was compelled to
stop. So, turning from his unfinished
manuscript. his eyes fell upon some
scraps of colored silk that his wife had
been using for patchwork. These gay
colors had a peculiar attraction for his
wearied optics.
on resuming his work after gazing at
them for several minutes he found them
quite fresh. After several experiments
he surrounded his inkstand with bril-
liantly colored striped silk material so
that his eyes must rest on them every
time ne dips his pen into the ink. This
brings instant relief.

The Odette is one of the recent mod
els whose unpretentious proportions
accord with the canons OF good taste.
One of these hats has a roll OF brown
chiffon under the brim. This is COM
bined with velvet of the same shade.
Resting on the hair is a wreath OF del
icately shaded foliage. Above the brim
appear half open rosebuds. which en-
circle the low crown. At the back of
the hat a bow rests on the hair. and the
brim is cut away underneath. A
charming confection from a salon on

OF the hat. and from it fall innumer-

The good cook knows that eggs can
be prepared in as many different ways
as there are days in the month; conse-
quently those households In which one
hears complaints Of monotony in their
service are not catered to by intelligent
cooks. The following novel methods OF
using eggs are worth trying:
To make egg salad for party OF six
take six hard boiled eggs. two ounces
OF butter, three level teaspoonfuls OF
curry paste. two level teaspoonfuls OF
essence Of anchovy, pepper and salt if
needed and watercress and lettuce.

crack and place for five minutes in
cold water. This will prevent them dis

then place the two halves together

are ready, cut a small piece OF white

Tags, tassels and fandangles of all
kinds are decided features Of the fash
ion of the hour, but. although La Mode
has succeeded in bringing in elaborate
decoration in this form. she fails signal
ly when she endeavors to introduce
plaits and folds instead OF the plain,
graceful skirt we have loved so long.
The fact remains that the best skirt is
an absolutely plain one. There is a
tendency to trim the hips. yet at the
same time 10 keep plain lines. and in
regard TO this the individual woman
can please herself.
The simple, stitched taffeta skirts
and blouse bodices are cool, smart and
yet very practical. They afford a
change, too. from the cllnging sole de
chine and crepe de chine we have Ia
vored so long.

makers say that this material has not

For wear II is unexcelled, although one
would scarcely think so from the tight
ness OF the fabric. or course the deli
cate colors which have prevailed dur
ing, the summer are not suitable for
outdoor wear later, but there are many
soft neutral tints which are just the
thing for afternoon toilets. Even the
lighter shades may see service in in
door frocks.
Autumn trimmings will consist OF
velvet. Fashion leaders say that the
fall and winter of 1902 is TO be distinct
ly a velvet season. Soft and supple eff
fects hitherto scarcely dreamed of have
been achieved by the velvet manufac.

many. of them resemble those seen
upon foulard silks. Oriental designs
are especially striking: indeed. the veil

garnished with velvet. Even entire

brims. Many varieties of this hat will
be put upon the market for autumn,
and the woman who can pick up some-
thing of the sort which is unpretentious
in color and outline will have on hand
a hat for use later In the season. Dull
chiffon arranged over brims In small
plaits and velvet ribbon falling in loose
loops over the hair are conventional
trimming for the back of the boat
shaped hats. A few flowers and gilt
tering buckles may be added whenever
the taste dictates 1t.
Touues fashioned entirely of velvet
will be a feature of the fall and winter
millinery fashions. Bargains in velvet
are few and far between. for milliners
know this and are reserving their
stocks OF this fabric to meet the coming
demand. Flowers and jeweled orna-
ments will combine we'll with almost
anything in the way of headgear and
the woman who possesses herself of art
nouveau patterns of the latter cannot
make a mistake. The fact Is that the
art nouveau craze is simply in it's

 The men had been spirited away early in the evening, but the crowd would not believe the officers statement to this effect and requested permission to send a committee through the jail This was allowed and the men eagerly in spected the different cells. Later they repeated this performance at the coun- ty jail, and not finding the men there were at a late hour marching from place to place in search of the quartet. The mob was orderly.
