The Seasons Blouses.

The question of blouses Is one which be-
comes of paramount Importance at this
time of year, especially to those VINO are
enterprising and thrifty enough to make
their own. The new fannels are quite
charming Many of them have borders and
colorings which are delightful Nothing
prettier or daintier than those designed for
this autumn has been seen for a long time.
A pale blue ground with a white spotted
pattern Is pretty. The shoulder pieces,
cuffs and front plastron should be of coarse
torchon or cluny lace. This lace can be
bought dyed to match and will be used on
flannel blouses as effectively it on
linen ones in the summer. a neat stock col

Character Told by Shoes.

Scarpology is the name of novel method
of divination which is now attracting at
tention In Europe. 1t was invented by a
scientist of Basel, and 1t is based on the
assumption that the character Of any per-
son can be told from his shoes.
Here are few Of the prir cipal rules:
When heel and sole are worn equally,
meaning thereby that neither is In a worse
condition than the other. one nay be con-
fident. If a man wears the shoe. that he is
energetic and is endowed with excellent
business ability, and. If a woman. that she
is loyal to her husband and good house.

The outer edge Of sole If much worn Is
sure token Of a fantastic. Maynard spirit:
but on the other hand IL the inner edge
Is Worn the wearer is timid and irresolute.
When the shoes are much worn along the
outer edge and the leather around the toes
begins to look sh abby. the other parts of
the shoes meanwhile being almost as good
as new. one may be confident that the
wearer is a rogue"

The True Uses Of Powders for the

Only few years ago milady was forced
to be content with just two colors of face
powder, chalk white and rose. Both of
these We're easily discernible, for they
made her either too red or too pale.
Nowadays there are no less than fifteen
distinct powders adapted to all sorts and

dusky belle of the Sandwich Islands, the
sunburnt beauty of Narragansett Pier, and
the ruddy cheeks Of the western plains to
the pale and fragile complexion of the

In applying the liquid powder the face
is first well washed. dried and rubbed
with some one of the milk preparations
in vogue, and then the liquid powder is
rubbed in. The result is a soft looking
skin.
There is a creamy texture to the best
liquid powders. Milady should never use
any but the best. because or cannot buy
a new skin when the old one has been

Yet the idea hat a face powder-any

Practical Topics.
The majority of US are doubtless more
interested in the practical and indispensa-
BILE street dress. The agitating question
which has been tormenting the woman who
insists upon being CONNIE IL faut at all
times has been the skirt length. An edict
from high ority has Ponn forth that
the trottier skirt or the one reaching to
the ankle is to be worn for walking and
morning fro ,ks.
The skirt for afternoon and visiting gowns
must just touch the ground, while evening
toilets will be exceedingly long, resting in
trailing pillows on the floor all round.
1t requires quite much practice to sue
cessfully maneuver these gracefully flowing
gowns as 1t does a piece Of field artillery,
and the debutante who trips the light fam
tastic toe may enter the ball room with the
idea of wrecking her costume.
A favorite material for the walking dress
is chevot in blue and green plaid so won
derfully woven that the tartan design Is
hardly visible.
