the new home of the New York juvenile
asylum, and as soon as the buildings OF
the new community are completed this
institution intends to abandon its huge
brick building at Amsterdam avenue
and 176th street. which it has occupied
for nearly half a century, and which
the rapid growth of the city nOrthward
has now made undeSira BILE. But the re-
n1oval of the asylum is by no means
one of situation alone. An entirely new
system is to be established in the train

more boys and girls who have been
picked up from the streets and alleys of
the great city with the hope and pur-
pose of making them useful citizens In
their present home they have been herd
ed together in one great building. There
nearly 200 sleep, study, work and play.
On entering the institution many or
them thought it was a jail. and even
the kind treatment which they received
in the years that followed was not
enough to dissuade them from such a
belief. But in the new home at DObbS
Ferry, it is believed by the men at the
head of the institution. there will be no

BIG HATS IN STYLE.
Large Round Shapes Have Sur
ViVed the Season.
Some "DOn'ts'' for Well Dressed
Women to Observe.

The first yellow leaf in the woodlands,
presaging natures most gorgeous sea
son. is coincident with the fall openings
where all the splendOrs and glories of
the world of fashion are shown. Some
rather pretentious exhibits have been
made by the fashionable Kansas avenue
emporiums during the past fortnight.
All the world of women loves a Paris
hat, and imported models of fall mil
linery by local houses have attracted
a great deal of admiration. One of pale
blue panne velvet is in fiat shape
with a large low crown and sets back
somewhat from the face as so many of
the new shapes do. The brim is slashed
in the back, is bordered with band of
rich cream OlOred lace and faced with
an arrangement of folds of white chif-
Ton alternating with narrow white felt
fringe. It's only trimming is mink
head and tail encircling the brim.
Pale blue. which was so much worn
last winter, is seen in a great many of
the new hats. A wide fiat shape in soft
Rray-green felt is faced with blue and
green satin in pale tones and has a
spray Of green and silver foliage in
front and a bow of dark green velvet
in the rear where the brim droOps down
over the hair. Another, in a plaque
curved upward on the left side in Gains
borough fashion, is Of pale blue panne
and Irish point lace, a facing of folded
blue chiffon and garniture of mink.
Mink edges the brim and outlines the
crown, top and bottom of a broad, fiat
Irish point which has absolutely no
other trimming except a. touch of orange
velvet under the brfn. One of the most
handsome. models in town, very fiat,
rather broad and dropping low over the
hair in the back, has a brim of Siberian
squirrel, faced with pale gray kid, with
folds Of steel gray velvet next the hair
in front The low round crown is OF
pale gray silk and a broad bow of pale
gray satin taffeta in front is the only
trimming except for three rich and
beautiful dablias which are under the
brim, near the edge in front. A wide
black beaver has the edge, which curls
up becomingly from the face, bound
with black velvet and is trimmed with
two long ostrich plumes which are fas-
tened low on the crown on the left, ex e
tend across the front and dangle over
the brim on the right side.
The large round hat survives from the
past season and in fact predominates
in all the models shown. Some of them
are simply huge as to brim, and absurd
~ low in proportion as to crown. The
new street hats are almost all on the
rolling, sailor order. In MORE. the edges

A chief characteristic of the new

shaping of the garment or the dis
position of the trimming.
That skirts will remain close-ft-
ting about the hips and have the de-

Gated by the newest designs.
Quite the smartest coat to be worn
with walking skirts is the loose Nor
folk, with stitched straps and belt
of the material.
The Empire designs are being well
received for indoor purposes.
Velvet costumes are certain to en-
JOY the popularity accorded them
last season.
Slot seams are retained in many
of the latest skirts and appear also
in coats.
Following the revival of hand en-
broidery, stars, tackings, etc., are
used to embellish gowns of all kinds.
The use of long-haired plain and
mixed goods is one of the features
of the season. Among heavy-tex-
tured materials there is perhaps,
nothing more popular than the zibe-
lines.
In trimmings the tendency is to-
ward simple effects. The demand
for braid decorations is unprecedent-

The woman who smiles when she
sees her best table-cloth ruined, who
puts aside the little mishaps and
makes the people around the table
forget it, does well. But if when she
is alone she allows her mind to dwell
upon the loss of her cherished linen,
if she lies awake at night fretting
over it, or lets it prey upon her wax
ing hours-that is, if she worries
over it-she is not the entirely wise,
sensible and comfortable woman she
ought to be.-July Woman's Home
Companion.

her." Her household duties left her
no time for reading or recreation,
and her husband found other COM
panionship more to his taste, and
the children grew to consider mother
as a sort of household necessity of
which they had no reason to be
proud. She had no personality, she
was known as Mr.. AS wife or Miss
AS mother, and her status was pre-
cisely the same at home and abroad.
And the saddest part of the whole
matter was, that this naturally
bright woman had no one to blame
but herself for her own downfall.
She had so far forgotten her self
respect, and the duty which every
true woman owes to herself, as to lay
herself, a living sacrifice, upon the
family altar, and her family had
willingly accepted the offering, as
they often are too willing to do.
In her zeal to serve her family she
had lost every opportunity for men
tai and spiritual development, she
had sacrificed her personal appear
ance and social position, and what
had she gained but the privilege of
continuing to be a household drudge
and the contempt of her family?
Does this seem a sad summing up
of the case? Perhaps it is, but it is
nevertheless true. And it also is true
that there is nothing sadder on
earth than such inefficient self-sacri-
fee, for while every true wife and
mother must of necessity sacrifice
much for the best interest of her
family she has no moral right to
| cheaper her womanhood or sacrifice
the respect of her husband and chill
dren.
A mother always should maintain
her own dignity as the companion
of her husband, the friend and coun-
selor of her children and the joint
head of the household. and while she
may give of her best to her family,
it should not be given in a spirit of
self-efacement but In a manner
compelling love and reverence.
1t is the part of wisdom for every
woman to safeguard her own posi-
ton in her own home and in socie-
ty, and to command and demand the
consideration and respect which is
her just due, and while love is the
fulfilling of the law and service is
sweet and satisfying, let it be the
love begot of wisdom and the ser
vice which makes for the glorifying
of womanhood.-Mrs. Clarke Hardy
in Chicago Rural-Voice.

October Bright Blue weather
o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the humble bee makes
haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And golden rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are frag-
rant;
When g~entians roll their fringes
tight
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without a sound of warming;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining;
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts
By twos and twos together,
And count like misers, hour by hour,
October's bright blue weather.

Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year

Serving Wisely or Serving Unwisely.
Once upon a time I visited in a
home where the wife and mother
seemed to be as near a %nonentity as
it is possible for a woman to be.
Her husband loftily ignored her ex-
istence, while he consulted with the
daughters concerning household
matters; the daughters treated her
with supercilious tolerance and the
sons with kindness or contempt, as
the case might be-.
Now, as 1 happened to know that
this woman was considered a very
bright girl, had been a teacher, and
was her husbands equal in educa-
ton and family and her children's
superior in intellectual ability, I set
myself to learn the why and the
wherefore of this state of affairs,
and I did not have to go far to dis
cover the reason.
The fact was patent to the most
casual observer that this M had
so cheapened herself in the eyes of
her family as to lose the respect to
which she was entitled as wife and
mother. One daughter was a school
girl, and the other was an accom-
plished musician, the sons were yet
in school and the mother was house
hold drudge and servant for the
whole family.
She would get up first in the
morning and prepare breakfast, and
the family would come struggling in
whenever it suited them best. Their
she patiently waited on them, while
they found fault with the food OF
chatted together of their own plans
and projects with no respect or con.
sideration for the mother, who
should have had their highest regard
and tenderest love.
This mother washed dishes "be
cause such work spoiled her daugh
ters' hands," She stayed at home
because young people liked to q
and have a good time" and she wor,
her daughters cast-of clothes "be
cause it cost SO much to dress tn,
