have been given them, but demand

them.
Everything which pertains to travel

the chief speciality of both the shops
and private makers. Boating suits in
pretty spotted cottons with solid

shops, for they sell for only So and

Summer comfort depends largely
upon effects refreshing to the eye as

BEAUTY DON'TS
FOR SECURING A
BECOMING COUTURE

Don't follow fashion blindly in re-
gard to coiffure if you would have
artistic proportions and bring out the
best expression of the face.
Don't attempt floral garniture with
out first studying the shape of the
head, and setting contrasts between
the flowers and the hair.
Don't have a towering floral decora-
ton If the face is long. Let the garni-
ture be a dainty wreath around the
back hair.
Don't wear wreath If the face is
broad. A cluster of flowers or a rose
nesting among puffs is prettier.
Don't affect straight lines of any
kind if the jaw is heavy. Fluffy coils
should be arranged to give breadth to
the top of the head, and the wreath
should be of rather large flowers.
Don't part the hair in the middle if
you are round-faced and chubby. This
only emphasizes the disk-like appear
ance. Brush the hair off the forehead
and wear a coronation wreath of fine
flowers.
Don't hesitate to shape an ugly fore
head to beauty with fluff of soft
waves or curls, crowned by half
wreath.
Don't wear flowers of any and every
color. If the hair. is like the ravens
wing, wear soft, pink flowers, roses or
geraniums.
Don't wear pink If the hair is burn
ished gold, sheeny yellow or TITAN
brown. Wear white camelias or white
bride roses. White hyacinths peeplng
out from behind pink tips of ears are
charming.

to the get-up.
Many vivid contrasts In color are
seen, number of the plain material

spotted, striped or checked stuffs.
These appear upon the skirts in hip

upon the bodice in many odd ways.

The most effective of the belts are
in white or black patent leather with

gloves fit with a kid snugness, and be-

gives distinction to the black ones,
which may be worn with gown In

Some of the French models in sum-

With the thermometer well up in the
nineties a swelterlng world thinks con-
tinually of bathing costumes-and
even ready-made bathing clothes this
summer are coquettish durable, with
silken sheens, rich contrast of color
and cut distra ctingly becoming.
Once upon a time even the sea tot
lette fashioned TO order held a bitter
sting for the unshapely. None but
the most hawless beauty could stand
its vilifying test. To-day things are
otherwise. With bathing corsets to
hold her figure within bounds, even
the too stout woman may take her
healthful dip without seeming a spec
tacle.
Gloria is material advised for sub
stantial mermaids, and if it is dark
blue with no contrasts of color it will
be more SHINING in tendency. A GER

as Quakerish, is achieved by the bath

scrap of trimming relieves this quiet
color, which is in pale silVerY or blue
tones. Tailor stitching is used on the
hens with neat effect. and sometimes

reposeful still.
To step away from these cool dishes
of fashion to garments which may be
worn at any. time, several words are to
be said on the subject of the new rain
coats. Never were practical garments
designed with more eye to dash, and
to gaze upon some of the novelty silk
Innings which adorn these coats is
seriously to doubt their mission. But
Notwithstanding this extreme ele-
gance, both the cravenette coats and
many of their doublings are rain
proof. A dull shade of sage green is
the most swagger tint for them, with
which color brocaded silks in dim
colds is superb combination.
The cravenette coat most approved
by fashion displays an exaggerated
looseness and a yoke and sleeves cut
in one. This, if it is not directly i'm

other long coats, which have plain
" received their influence from the
modish cravenettes, run to silky bril-
liantines, soft glorias and Shantung
pongees. Many of the glorias are like
wise said to be raihproof. They are
certainly impervious to dust, and for
that reason they make splendid trav-
cling wraps.
A travelling coat of pale brown
gloria is trimmed with velvet in
deeper shade, this forming an odd
yoke which runs down in slim bands
over the tops of the sleeves. These de-
tails in nine coats out of ten are of
baggy looseness. The dropping pun
above the close cuffs Is inrre OBJ
served than flowing effects. these last
having proved themselves Hadvisable
for practical wear.
AS the summer advances a decided
consideration for personal comfort Is
noticed in street dress. Bodies in
fragile unstarched textures appear in
shopping districts, with fiOunced
sleeves showing an honest section of
bare arm. The neck is cut to display
several inches of bare throat, canvas
shoes peep below a linen or suck
skirt and the untrimmed parasol is of
cool green silk.
For the rest, if this neat and dapper
headgear suits her style, you may be
sure a plain straw sailor tops the
wearer's head, with the big crown in
some cases very low and in others
something over three inches high. A
black ribbon band is the most popular
finish for these hats, which are often
draped with sewing silk wells in brown,
blue or green. These are most COM
monty for ornament, but when a red
dish brown veil-chiffon in this case
is dropped over the face, the fiOa ting
curtain seems distractingly becoming.
Neither the blue nor green wells are
as beautifying as the reddish tints,

the play depends rather on a vigorous plot

She Was Not Sensitive.

One woman who has had her pocket book
drained and her soul tortured by the inSid-
ious but persistent demands of such at
tendants had that fact impressed upon her
early in the week.
She was visitor in an uptown manicure
parlor. She had been there several times
before, and each time had courageously
gone away without paying anything in ex.
cess of the regular taxation. On the occa-
sion of her latest visit the girl who took
charge of her hands adroitly introduced tip
ping as an appropriate subject for CONVEX
sation. The woman awaited herself of the
op Dortunity> to express her sentiments
forcibly.

respecting people who have good position
should so demean themselves to accept
contributions from strangers in that way.
If the people for whom l work should offer
to tip me every time l drew extra breath
l Should feel insulted. l should imagine
that they considered me mere servant"
When the work was at last finished the
girl braced back and looked at the woman
steadily.

said. Il don't mind if people do consider

And the woman. carried away by sheer
admiration for her audacity, gave her
