We are in the middle OF summer, there is

and these have afforded opportunities for
displaying quite novel and delightful toilets
which the Parisiennes wear with such grace.

There is always a certain amount OF dan
ger when pale colors are worn.
They may be beautiful in themselves. but
they are trying even to pretty faces and
good compilations.
Taking 1t all round. discretion should be
used in the choice of summer colors.
In hats, new things are being turned out
and women are still fitting themselves out
for the seaside and country lanes.
Many Of the hats from the Rue do la Paix
for morning wear are in coarse, pale straws
very fiat, with the brim lined either with
dark ruched mousseline de sole. tulle Or
velvet, with a wreath Of flowers or a big
bird on the top.

Summer Temper
Adds to Crime.
Heat Wears Upon the Good Ma
ture of Persons Inclined to
Be Tolerant.

July and August are pre-eminently the
months of arrests. and the warmer the
months the larger the number of arrests.
1.-THE reason for this?" repeated an old po-
lice officer. There are several. but chief
among them Is the fact that ones temper In
this hot weather is quicker. and a jostle
that would go without notice in January
will force scrap in July.
DAY after day OF heat wears upon the
good nature OF most people endowed with
good nature. and to those who are ugly any
how 1t is uncomfortable.
Residents are out OF doors more. and
meet more in crowds in summer. too; so
trouble which wouldn't be dreamed OF In a
temperature OF twenty degrees Is rampant
everywhere when the mercury is at ninety
two or more"
Shakespeare had tho whole business
down f1ne," said a weil-known physician.
You remember, perhaps. where Benvollo,
in Romeo and Juliet speaks to Mercutio:
I pray thee, good Mercutio. let's retire:
The day Is hot. the Capulets abroad
And II We meet we shall not 'scape . brawl:
For now these hot days is the mad blood stir
ring.
That Is the situation now. To the extent
that the nervous energy of a person is de-
pleted will he be intolerant of things which
would not affect sturdy person in normal
health.
These periods Of extreme heat wear
upon the nervous system until he becomes
captious, critical, irritable and perhaps al
together intolerable even to his friends.
DIFFERENCE SHOWN IN CARS.
Doubtless you have observed the atd-
tudes taken by the person suffering from
heat and the one who is suffering from cold.
"A man will come into room even-tem-
pered, with the knowledge that both ears
are badly frozen.
I'm August, feeling the Precipitation
and conscious of acidity Of the stomach as
another i'll of an overheated system, he may
be intolerable to the one he loves best.
"As a general proposition the crowdlng Of
street cars in the heat Of July and August
is productive Of more Ill temper of the sum-
mer brand than is any other thing. One
may recall the difference in having stran-
ger drop into a seat beside him when the
mercury in the car Is at forty and when
one takes the vacant place when the Their
mometer marks ninety in the shade.
I'm the first case 1t may be a comfort to
have the man between you and the draft
from the door or window: in the other 1t Is
q direct afrront. especially II you have
placed your hat on the seat which he took.
Instead of hot-weather hints, some ad-
vice on hot-weather manners In public
places would be admirable. Beginning with
the sweltering term the public should rec
ognize that there are two measures Of the
capacity Of the long seats in the average
street car.

there Il room for one moro only At discom'
fort for half dozen others Is deserving
of sharp criticism. 1t Is irritating In the
extreme, especially as 1t Is recognized that
the man who crowds in cannot be more
comfortable than any one else.
Nerve wear Is cumulative. lawn
sprinkler throwing water over the sidewalk
at an early hour In the morning may result
in starting a nervous man or woman to
work all out OF patience. and at night that
person may return home a wreck. because
of the person who set the lawn sprinkler
where It should not have been.
Restaurant manners, especially At the
midday luncheon. are disturbing to the
nervous temperament
ION hot day food Is not attractive. and
II the diner sit beside one who 10 ill-man-
nered or who fourishes his elbows beyond
the tolerable limits Of an elbow. 1t were
almost better II the nervous person had
not eaten at all
Irritation at meals in hot weather al
most certainly produces acidity of the stom-
ach and further arrangement Of the
nervous system.
"A few inhibitions Of manners in hot
weather might be marked with especial
stress.
PRACTICAL jokes BRING MURDERS
IF you are fond Of practical Jokes. do
away with them in July and August; many
a murderer has been made by an August
joke.
IF you arc inclined to slap q friend OF
acquaintance on the back. don't do 1t In
the dog days. Your friendship may take
wings.
IF you have a piano player in q tor
fiat don't work 1t after s:15 o'clock in the
evening; Of all ragtime. mechanical rag
time in August Is the worst.
In street cars be careful to dt within
the limits of your own seat, and don't
cross your legs 80 far that your shoe brush
es the trousers Of the next passenger.
Don't read with your paper spread wide
in both hands. and don't lay packages or
vacant seats. when you KNOW that before
you have made the downtown loop every
seat will be full. with the straps in use, too

BE CAREFUL TO
AVOID INcoNGRU1TY.
The great point In smart country dressing
Is to avoid incongruity OF every kind.
Never be overdressed, but always let your
toilet be crisp and clean.
The new soft makes do not crease 30
much as those we have been accustomed to
the last few seasons. but at the Same time
we know that nearly all frocks do crease
more or less.
BY the way, some very smart Parisians
are wearing the old-fashioned brown Hol-
land, trimmed with a coarse, imitation
torchon lace. or some rough embroidery.
If these be very neatly made and worn
with the right accessories they form charm
ing country frocks.
Practical frocks in biscuit, yellow and
ivory shades are mostly trimmed with black
not effective unless carried out with con-
summate skill
Pale blue il Q favorite color. and It is
lovely in ITSELF particularly when accom-
panied by tinted lace. 1t takes beautiful
sheen in linen and the new coarse can
vases.
There Is q tendency to become bizarre
in matters of dress, especially in the even
ing.
This IL never good form. IN fun evening
dress, real artists exercise to the full their
fancy in the mingling Of beautiful colors.
The craze for lace is by no means abat-
ing. and in fact 1t seems to be increasing,
and really wonderful limitations ara pro-
