Fashion Notes.

The Gainsborough hat is, so report
says, to have another season Of popu-
larity.
Chiffon lace has the sheerness of
chiffon, but is exceedingly strong and
durable.
Colored silk mousseline, splashed all
over with white. is finding great favor
with French dressmakers.
Shaded mousseline is used not only
for 'scarfs, parasols and trimming, but
also for whole frocks.
Fringes are unquestionably success
full at last, and their vogue will doubt
less continue through the coming sea-
son.
Black and white checked silk grena-
dine, made up over white and trimmed
with touches of color is particularly
chic and successful.
Jewelled gold or silver tassels finish
the ends Of chiffon scarfs or narrow
chine ribbons, which are tied around
the throat and hang down the back.
White cotton net, printed in a soft
blue trellis pattern over which Chamber
trailing vines of pink roses, is ideal
material for a picturesque bergere
frock.
Plain null or batiste with trails of
white hand embroidery running around
the border of hemstitched flounces and
frills is the last note of modlshness
in lingerie gowns.
Plumes Of exaggerated length,
formed by putting together several Or
dinary plumes, are used upon many
OF tn, French hats, and fall far down
over the shoulders.
There is a noticeable use OF brown
as a relieving note in place of the IA
vorite black. Even upon French frocks
of white net or other sheer stuffs q
note Of nut brown is often introduced
Deep girdles on which are draped
shimmering silk in myriad blending
hues are called rainbow girdles and
are worn with one-tone frocks in any
one of the shades represented in the
girdle.

Perfumes Match Costumes.

This, says the Lady's Pictorial, Is a
wonderful season for perfumes, and in
the use Of scents. as in all other things
we are showing a commendable avoid
ance Of mere crude effects and pleas
dng striving after an artistic ensemble.
A few years ago woman used any
perfume which pleased her in and out
of season. Then came the craze for
sssociating one particular odor with
oneself, such as violet or altar Of roses
Sr peau dEspagne or vervaine. But
now we have gone a step farther and
adopted :he very charming habit OF u.s.
tng certain fashionable scents with
certain clothes and on certain occa-
aions, being careful that it shall

are chosen for spring luncbeons and
dinners, 5ust as summer flowers are
chosen to decorate summer tables, with
vegetables that are in season and con-
sequently at their best.
The elaborate ribbon and lace ac-
cessories which formerly adorned Ia
bles are entirely dispensed with. The
tablecloth is of rich damask, hand
somely embroidered, with the napkins
to match, and decorated with centre
piece of seasonable flowers, encircled
with a wreath of green foliage or vine.
Masses of silver and gold plate are

Only the knife and fork are placed
for each person and changed for others
with each course. The rows of knives
and forks on each side of the plate
are scrupulously avoided, together with
all kinds of specially shaped knives
and forks. invented by the jeweler to
create a want, but which are to be dis
pensed with; even the oyster fork Is
made to resemble the ordinary fork
as much as possible, and many smart
hostesses do not even use a special
fork for oysters.
As for the finger bowl, It has COM
pletely disappeared from all smart Ia
bles, and is caricatured even in the
salon under the title Of jules Bath"

Wheel. as skirt Decoration.

A favorite way Of trimming a gown
II wit ha series Of wheels, either solid
or transparent. according as satin,
cloth, silk, linen or lace be used. A
pretty dancing dress of sweet pea silk
shot through with changeable pink
and white, with very occasional tinge
of blush threads, has an arrangement
OF lace wheels set on the flared cores
OF the skirt near the hem in default
of fiouncing. The wheels are round
waters of lace. Care must be taken
to select a web not too fine.
The coarser or flrmer lace wheels
produce much better effect than those
of cobweb tissue. The wheel of COL
-ored linen Is a fat rosette, so is the
wheel OF silk. These are carefully
spaced about the bottom of the skirt
and occasionally are mounted upon a
shaped fiounce. A novel arrangement
shows the wheel suspended from long
straight line. The narrow bands start
from the waist and radiate down the
skirt, spreading further apart as they
20 with the increasing circumference
of the gown. At the foot Of each band
IS the wheel or medallion, rendered
more important by being cncircled by
the band. A long band sometimes has
two wheels or medallions, one little
distance above another.

Borax.


AS remedy borax has two great
qualities-it is cheap and harmless.
1t is a good cosmetic. An ounce OF
powdered barox dissolved in quart OF
hot water may be bottled and kept on
the toilet table.
Scrub the face with soap and water
on retiring In the morning dash upon
cold water to which some of the borax
solution has been added.
Pure borax will not hurt the skin.
The borax that dries 1t Is adulterated
with soda
Borax is an antiseptic, and twice
week the kitchen sink may be flooded
with strong borax suds to good advan-
tage.
It is well to sprinkle borax under
she papers on the pantry shelves to
prevent insects.
1t is we'll to boil q strong solution Of
borax in the coffee pot, as we'll as In

To clean silver dissolve a teaspoon

She Dare Not Overeat.

Mmo. Jeanne Granier, the charming

London Graphic. She takes tea in
the morning. and after that only a
lunch, dinner at half past mo tea,
no supper, no late meal. She says
abe could not get through her work II

A Mirror Fad.

Within the past few years n decided
fad for the collecting of antique
mirrors has developed. and many a
looking glass of ancient days, treas
ured more for associations sake than
for its intrinsic value, has assumed
considerable Importance commercially.
Colonial mirrors are having a decided
vogue at the present time, more par
ticularly those decorated with a pastel

one critic they are not entitled to con-

Famous New England Novel on the
STAGE.

In the stage production Of Quincy
Adams Sawyer" the essential features
of Charles FELTON, Pidgin's famous New
England novel of the same name have
been followed, and they are said to
have been handled to extremely clever
advantage. 1t is a distinctly enjoy
able piece, both in itself and in the
ingeniously natural work of the peo-
pie presenting it. The production to
be seen here at the Opera House on
next Friday evening, by the way, is
the same in every detail of scenic
production and cast as seen during the
New York run recently at the Acad-
envy of Music. There is a laugh al
most everywhere, despite the tender
seriousness pertaining to Alice Petten-
gilPs pathetic figure as the much loved
blind girl and to her value as the GEN.
trail feature of the love story. 1t is
a most entertaining picture of rural
life, and presented on quite a differ
ent plan from any other bucolic drama.
It's features and typical characters are
said to be exceptionally we'll presented.

Among Those Present" Glen Mac
Donough's new play which will be pre-

this order Among Those Present" is
said to have constituted elements in
addition to flippery and froth. Some
of it's situations are reported to be of
a most thrilling character. The lead
ing role was created especially for
Mrs. LeMoyne and gives her abundant
chance to display that versatility for
which she is noted. The star will be

panies it is stated, that has been sent

st. Patrick's Day Concert.

The annual st. Patricks Day con-
cert of st. Mary's parish was held in
Meonian hall, Tuesday evening. The
concert began at 7.3O o'clock with
music by Dennis orchestra, and orches-
ira selections We're given during the
first hour. They played the appropri-
ate pieces, like "The Wearing of the
Green" etc and some others. This
popular orchestra was at it's best, and
everybody in Augusta knows how
thoroughly enjoyable that is. Follow
ing that was a musical and literary
program by the younger members of
the parish. This year, departure was
made from the custom of giving purely
Irish selections, but return to the old
way is intended for next year. That
there are some sweet young voices in
the parish was demonstrated by the
solos by Richard Ryan, Mary Gilday
and Thomas Fox. There is also good
talent for our future players, as was
shown by the piano solos given by
Elizabeth OConnor, Marguerite Houli-
han and Eva Dickson, and the violin
solo by Ruth Brennan with accom-
paiment by Louis Coullard. Recita-'
tions and defamation were given by
Mary Fitzgerald, Annie Brann, Maud
Fitzgerald, and Arthur Fitzgerald, and
they had. all learned their pieces and
had no use for the, prompter. There
was also defamation by James
Faughener of Gardiner, one of the
prize winners at the recent Gardiner
High school Junior exhibition. A good
audience was in the hall and enjoyed it.
