The Middle-Aged Woman.

Women in middle life, and from there
onward. should take more and more care

eyes and complexion fade and the HAIR
grows dull all the cunning secrets of the
toilet become important. Happiness may
depend upon the shade chosen for a dim
ner-dress or the set of a hat upon the
Iresses that are just tinged with gray,
The woman of 40 needs all the help she
can get from dress, and the woman OF

middle age, wear black too much. If the
hair be gray, gray is the most becoming
of all colors to them. There are some
shades of brown, too, which are especial

Reflection of a Bachelor Girl.

Most men look at a pretty girl as if she
had been born expressly on their ac-
count.
Men are not nearly so wise as women
ct them think they are.
A man can earn $4,000 a year, and
get he has to marry some little woman
with 81 a week spending money just to
make himself comfortable
If all men were wise all women would
seem sensible.
Most men divide women into two
classes-their mothers and sisters and all
other women.
Men will never cOncede that a woman
knows anything, yet some men spend all
their time fussing because some women
don't know more than they do.
More women would be angels if more
men cared anything about heaven.
Women value dress because men value
it so much more
Many men in Il restaurant give the i'm
preston that they are there not so much
to eat as to talk to the waitress.
Mans consistency permits him to take
6ear IN winter to keep him warm and in
summer to keep him cool.
A woman can seldom stop to look in q

many men around.

No wardrobe is thought to be quite complete

But the idol of the hour. if with such an

be any one bright particular favorite, seems
really to he the gown Of etamine toile or

gowns Of these artistically clnging materials
that so pleasingly accent the grace and SYM
metry of the wearers. They are materials
that are not only Immensely becoming as to
quality, but likewise in the soft colorngs Of
the present season. and they also most
serviceable being almost literally indestructi-
bic as well as impervious to dust. The silver
grays, the fawns. the castors. and the deli
cious pastel shades of green, pink and blue
are among the colors best adapted for the
dressiest occasions: while for morning wear
color that is assuredly your own particular
color, that is the choice of every clever wo-
man to-day. In times past woman followed
one another's lead in the matter of color; to-

has reached the acme of taste In this respect.

desirable in the natty shirtwaist suit. In
fact, when made after the latter design, they

The daily promenade en- voture at the fash
ionable driving hour makes one long for the
pencil of a Vatican or the pen Of a Keats to,
in some small degree, do justice to the Won
derful coloring displayed to the eyes Of an
admirng world by the most elegant of our
society women. Hats that picturesque
ly becoming adorned with plumes, long ribbon
streamers or lace scarfs trailing from the
back, greet the eye at every turn. MISS DE
Mauriac gave her bridesmaids the lovelest
possible creations of the miliner's art. These
hats were composed almost entirely Of white
tulle scantily trimmed with wreaths OF tiny
white pompadour roses and green leaves; but
the distinguishing mark of style was given
them by the scarfs of white chiffon that We're
knotted at the back of the hats. and carried
around over the left shoulder. and ending in a

flower hats simply dears, whether garde-
MAS, geraniums, evergreen moss or any OF
the other dainty blossoms beloved by milady.
ADine at Sherry's Sunday evening and every
other woman you see will have the Marie An

Not three hats in the place will be without
this fancy of the hour. And certainly this is
the place of all other public ones in town to
see the smart set in all their newest and best
