watch and powder box in one, or ex-
tract her purse from her long boot
top.
A correspondent writing from Paris
declares that nine out of every ten
women automibilists carry their small
change "monnaie'-in a tiny purse
attached to the front of their long
boots. Boomer underwear lends pro-
priety to the extraction of the change,
but so leveling is this brisk sport that
even the cool and open lifting of
flounced petticoats for the fishing up
of a tension piece is not regarded as a
grave indiscretion.
Chain charms in the shape of tiny
gold and silver automobiles abound,
some of these even displaying a chauf-
feur or chauffeuse in full and dashing
auto" attire. Leather belts with pen
dant leather set watches are other
automobile novelties, as well as lace
wells with mica eye coverings set in,
and leather gloves with perforated
palms.

lasts, commercial genius will cater to

amples in their autumn finery display
a strong leaning toward these always
delightful details. The f1ounces which
ornament the newest of the silk and
other light material skirts being OF
circular cut, are almost as fat as folds.
Different widths are put together until
often nearly the whole skirt is covered
and the last flounce is no more than
three inches wide. Buttons enclosed
in a rouche of ribbon, the whole shap-
ing a large rosette, form another
novelty likely to be carried over to the
winter for house and carriage gowns
in airy, dressy textures. The orna-
ments thus made not only deck the
fronts of short jackets, but are vari-
ously disposed over the entire cos
tune, two perhaps appearing at the
back of an elbow sleeve, two upon q
belt. etc.
Any effect which borrows or savors
openly of departed mode seems to
be fashions fad for the immediate
future So the short squarely-tied

FASHION CHANGES
FOR THE SERE AND
YELLOW AUTUMN
BY HARRIET HAWLEY.

A fashionable woman was heard COM
planning the other day that she did not
live in the tropics. Then" she ex-
claimed, I'VE would only have two sea-
sons-the wet and the dry. In the for
mer we would wear mackintoshes. and
in the latter next to nothing. And the
anxieties of the seasons between would
be done away with"
The seasons spring and fall are al
ways periods of uncertainty, tentatiye
periods in which society decides be-
tween the variety of new styles offered
for its inspection by anxious modistes
and milliners. Fall is. perhaps, the
more trying of the two, for the change
from summer f1uffiness to the more rig
i'd rulings of winter fashions is always
a wrench. Therefore, the first fall hats
are always extremely simple in shape
and trimming.
This fall is no exception to the rule.
There is considerable barking back to
the summer styles, shorn, however, of
much of their f1amboyancy. The new
tailored suits are so decidedly plain
that tailored hats are a necessity.
Until the advent of the fall rains wells
of every description will add lightness
to the fall hats. Hair nets will be
worn with them. They are useful for
keeping stray locks in their proper
places Indeed, they will be found to
be invaluable for milady If she wears
her hair low on her neck. They come In
every conceivable shade to suit every
couture, and so melt into the hair as
to be barely perceptible, except under
the closest scrutiny.

to train each child to put away toys

grown-up long to spend half a day
there. Before he knows it he will be

THE SCIENCE OF
HANDLING THE
COMMON BROOM

To keep on using an old stubby,
WORKOUT broom is the poorest kind Of
economy. Not only does it wear the
carpets, but 1t takes double time and
strength to do the sweeping.
When buying brooms, get good firm
ones, but as light in weight as posi-
BILE. If one has a large house, 1t saves
times to keep broom and dustpan on
each floor in order to obviate carrying
the outfit up and downstairs each time
1t is needed.
When not in use, keep the broom
hung up. The cellarway. where 1t Is
cool and damp, is a good place. If
there is no ring to hang the broom by,
bore a hole through the handle, or cut
a notch around the upper part OF the
handle and tie a string around 1t.
Every broom should have an occa-
sional bath in salt-water-not only
to keep the broom corn in good con-
dition, but to dispose Of the accumu-
lated dust and microbes. On this ac-
count new brooms are to be specially
commended, as they can be taken
apart. The top of the broom is COW
cred with tin which screws on to the
handle. In the top of the broom is a
tube of metal into which water or a
disinfecting fluid can be poured to
moisten the broom.
A word must be said again the UNI
clearly habit of using broom splint
to test a cake when baking. Not only
is there a danger of disease germs, but
much of the broom corn is colored with
arsenic.
A broom cover to slip over the broom
when brushing down the walls or
sweeping a dusty piazza will be found
a great convenience. Sew up, bag
shaped, canton flannel, and make a

certainly pretty, whatever their con-
dition after washing may be.
Chenille plays an important part in
fall millinery, as we'll as in veilings.
The latest things in the line of wells
are those dotted with chenille tufts.
The chenille is soft and fluffy, giving
a softer effect to the face than the
velvet dots which were the rule in
fashionable wells last spring. The tufts
are in every shade on white, black or
gray net of a very open mesh variety.
A fall hat which is more dressy
than the average is a combination OF
black chenille braid, pale-blue taffeta
and a lustrous black coz feather. The
hat sets back a trifie from the race
and has a low, broad crown and a
moderately wide brim which curves
and flares gracefully. The crown is
of the chenille braid, and the brim is
covered with soft folds and fittings of
the blue taffeta, edged with an in
terlacing of chenille braid. The COZ
plume starts on the left side OF the
brim, under the folds of taffeta, and
falls over the hair in the back. The
hat is raised slightly on the left side
by a bandeau covered with black vel
vet. A smaller coz feather sets on
this is front and rests against the
fluffy pompadour of hair.
Coo feathers and wings are the

aigrettes. Fluffy feather pompons are
found to be of cog, while longer cog
feathers make breasts, feather pias-
irons and graceful curling plumes.
A pretty fall hat. which sets back
from the face, is of white felt. The
brim is bent into Napoleonic curves
and bound with inch-wide black velvet
ribbon. Binding of a contrasting
shade of silk or velvet is to be seen on
many of the fall hat brims. The soft
conical crown is encircled by folds of
black velvet. and a soft choux or POM
pom of curling cog feathers trims the
left side A number of short curling
coz feathers covers the bandeau which
lifts the brim from the hair.
Another fall hat is of blue felt. The
stiff, rolling brim is bound with inch
wide folds of dull green velvet. Folds
of the same velvet encircle the crown,
while a cockade Of mingled green and
blue cog feather is set under the orlm
on the left side.
Black and white chenille, inter-
mingled in braid effect, makes smart

such richness that the hat is absolute

GOOD IN A CHANGE OF AIR.

Too Close Confinement to Any At
mOsDhere Is often Injurious.
From the Medical Review.
The quasimiraculous benefits which
are associated with change of air in
the popular belief are in reality de-
rived when they accrue from change
of environment, qua change of habits
of life. In a great many instances the
measure of benefit obtainable would
be as effectually secured and at much
less expense by mere change of habits,
without fatigue and inconvenience of
change of domicile. The overwrought
city clerk might advantageously take
to driving a cab, while the cabman
would find it a relief to discharge for
a time the functions of caretaker of
deserted house. Many an overworked
physician would experience a distinct
improvement were he to qualify as
chauffeur, with no other object in view
than to cover space, and there are few
domestic servants whose health would
not be sensibly modified by a brief ex-
perience as milkmaid or CLEANER,
should the season lend itself to that
pursuit. The literary gent, whose
brain is sterile of new ideas, might
recuperate his energies by usurping the
role of a sick man and remaining in
bed for week or two.
