the painful eye malady, which might
endanger his general health.

FASHIONS MANDATES.
SOME OF the Latest Ideas in Millinery
and Dress Materials Now
in Vogue.

Various attractive shades of brown
are exceedingly prominent among
this years most swagger millinery
and it is much later fashion than
the gray, favored for some seasons
past, reports the Chicago Daily
News.
There has been a decided feeling
for plain tulle wells in brown, blue
and white, crossing at the back and
tying in a bow in front This is
merely a fad of fashion, but at the
same time it is very becoming one
which has great advantages when
the wearer is motoring or travelling.
To begin with, it keeps the hat on,
and shelters the hair from the dust.
Chestnut burs and tomatoes are
| sharing honors with radish and
columbine in millinery. Such deco
rations sound very homely, but since
women must be arrayed, and every-
thing else has been worn threadbare.
the modistes have now taken them
selves to the vegetable domain.
Where will they go next? The rad

and looks dainty upon the felt or fur
felt hat. The chestnut bur is really
elegant. At present the tomato is
little heavy, but before long it also
will be perfected.
Light tea gowns are much moro
fashionable than those of dark tints.
White, pink, pale blue and yellow
are the favored shades and they are
invariably on the picturesque order
in design.
Plaids are well worn, though they
have not been taken so eagerly by
women at large as the makers and
merchants anticipated. However
that is not stating that they will
be such failures after Christmas.
Modes are so tickle at Paris that Just
as likely as not Scotch plaids will be
seized with a rush after women be-
come tired of the first winter STYLES
The most beautiful plaids are those
in green, the blocks truly immense.
Nothing seems to take the place of
| cloth when it comes to fashionable
| tailor suits, and in reality nothing
| is richer in effect. Fancy home
spuns, with colored chenille dots, are
very popular, but these nouveautes
are generally short-lived. They
make comfortable dresses, however,
and when finished in lace or embroi-
derry are very smart. Gray is sue
cessful color with homespun, also
dark red, with a coarse warp or dot
| of lighter red chenille.

ADVICE FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
DON'T Accept Amy Strange Mans story
About Himself, No matter How
Attractive.

With the practically unlimited free
dom nowadays accorded to young
| women which, in the main, is no
| doubt good thing, acquaintances
are sometimes too unconventionally
made and alliances too quickly con-
tracted with men of whom there is
little or nothing really known. lie
gives a plausible account of himself
| and tells a true-sounding story OF
his home and antecedents, and the
girl falls into the clutches of an I'm
learns her mistake which her sisters
may avoid if they Will never form
friendships or marriages with man
whose records and parentage are not
absolutely known to them or their
friends. Don't accept any strange
mans story about himself, no matter
how attractive. prosperous, cultured
or pious he may appear. Investi-
gate before confding. Smarter girls
than you have been fooled, admon-
ishes American Queen.
Again, # you have known your
lover from childhood, be in no haste
to wed him. You may both be high
ly respectable, even valuable, mem
bers of society, but you may be en-
tirely unsuited to each other. If
you are young, test your love and
his by at least years engagement.
Your present ardOr may cool off in
a year or so and show you both that
you never ought to be anything more
to each other than pleasant ac-
quaintances. Love-if it is the real
thing-will keep, and it is far better
to break an engagement than to
sever the marriage tie.
Young men and girls alike are apt
to be reckless and headstrong in
their teens, and they should be
brought to understand that in a few
years their ideas will undergo CON
siderable change, their Judgment will
mature and many persons and SUD-
jects that quite captivated them at
the age of 10 will have little inter
est for them as they approach 30.
The more frank, sincere and unas-
suming lovers are in each others
company the better the chances of
marital happiness, and there is no
doubt that there would be fewer I'M
fortunate matches made if lovers
were but more open and less given
to deceiving each other. Deceive
your fiance in any way or withhold
from him knowledge which he is en-
titled to before joining himself to
you, and your sin will assuredly re
bound upon you with terrible retri-
button. 1t never fails.
Extravaganza in both sexes is an
other very common cause of failure
in marriage. Few young people of
the present day are willing to begin
married life as their parents did
| simply, frugally, industriously, and in
the honest hope of raising a good
family. They want grand esta0-
| lishment, fine clothes and servants
and an easy and entertaining exist
ence with as little responsibility as
| possible. In a word, they want to
indulge the most highly cultivated
selfshness. 1t is almost needless 70
say that this cannot possibly lead to
happiness.

That we never have noticed before.
His shoes are quite carefully shined
And the bow of his necktte is neat.

But he's now wearing gloves III the sCiee =
He sits up till ten every night
And has positive views Of his own;
Yes, he knows a great deal, We regretfully

That he'll know less about when he's

He'll be shaving the first thing we know
