Day of the Slender Woman,

Tall, slender women have it all their
own way. The perfect figure has been
discussed Of late by the Americans,
and their fiat is that slenderness, com!
bined with good lines, is essential, but
it is no good being thin unless you are
willowy and graceful. The taller the
more slender, the better; the shoulders
broad, the arms long, the waist line at
the front long, the hips well shaped,
neither fiat nor hollow. The line must
be straight from under the arms to the
ankle; there must be a slight outward
curve at the back of the waist. It is
the greatest mistake to pad over the
hips. One Of the articles of a fash
ionable %corsetiere is to lace the hips
into a fat line. Stays grow longer and
consequently less comfortable, but
while they lengthen below the waist
they become shorter aboye.-New Or.

Loungfng Gowns

We may put it that we are more cul-
tured, but we are certainly more ex-
travagant than of yore, and more given
to personal ease. Our bedrooms are as
tastefully furnished as any part of the
house, and a good deal more time Is
spent there than Of old. On this &C.
count We have to consider the subject
of gowns for repose. They generally
take the form Of soft muslin or soft silk
jackets or sacques and deliberately
trimmed %petticoats. Many of the
sacQues ara Of Chinese and japanese
origin. We suit our clothes to our
rooms If the bedroom Is in Oriental
style we dress after Eastern modes; il
in French style we follow Vatican and
Louis XIV. models. We carry our
Orientalism into our cloaks and wraps.
Panne Of Oriental coloring is very
much worn. There is a tender leaning
in all classes Of dress toward the days
Of the Restoration and Louis XIII,
wide apart, but with some points in
common.

Two Eada of the Smart Girl.

Oftentimes it is the simplest bit Of a
hair ornament that proves the most
becoming. The tulle tiara requires but
very little money and little time to
make, and yet its effect is charming.
When the hair is dressed high in the
evening coil about it a roll of tulle,
tiara fashion. In the front tie 1t in a
large knot, and In the back let it be
finished with two ends having small
knots. Cherries" In the hair are also
new. They are arranged like a wreath,
and more leaves are used than tho
fruit. Another new fad is to have your
Stockings match your shirt waist in
color. Bright colored hosiery is COM
ing back into fashion again, but the
girl who objects to 1t is wearing right
now as a substitute black hosiery with
colored floral clocks. Instead Of tho
clocks being embroidered, as they used
to be, they are now made Of tiny fow-
ers, with a little bow knot or a cluster
of flowers as a finish at the top.-Wom-

Point de Venice, gorgeous in rich.

Very fine chain bracelets are being
worn, and scrolls of honeysuckle in the

finished with strappings of plain col

The hip yoke is the remarkable fea-

Some new and handsome tortoise

are adorned with peacocks fashioned
from gold and enamel.
For light weight materials for house

Velvet styles in black and white or

when the Hair Turns yellow. !

"It isn't the gray I mind" said a
stout, fine looking woman who was dis
c~onsolately cycling her crown Of glory
while she was dressing it, "but it's the
way it has turned gray. My sisters
hair turned, but in the most beautiful
fashion, the front hair turning almost
white and the black retaining all its
blackness, so that when she brings her
hair high on her head the effect is very
striking and beautiful. But mine has
gone yellow instead Of white, and its
all streaky. I wish it would turn solid,
or at least turn white instead Of look
ing like faded blondined locks"
And then and there her friend, who
was spending the night, told her a lit
tie secret. The secret disclosed the
way she might have beautiful white
hair and at a cost Of i've cents.
"Get some good laundry blueing,"
ran the advice. "and dissolve enough
Of it In water so as to make it rather
weak. Wash your hair in this several
tines, and just see how delighted you
will be-"
The yellow hair didn't become white
all at once, but took tive weeks. but
when 1t had turned it was all that the
owner of 1t desired. The laundry blue,
it is declared, will not turn all hair, but
as it is harmless and does not cost any
thing it might be worth a 'try" by the
