yyhy Some Women Dyertress.

at is really ridiculous the way some
good-looking women gown themselves y
she said to her friend, who was seated
next to her in the parlor car of Il train
Can you understand why woman
with q beautiful complexion, nice hair
and eyes, and a good figure, will insist
in wearing all the colors of the rainbow
at the same time, and make herself
not only ridiculous, but also homely?"
"The only way | can account for it
is that she doesn't know any better"
said the companion.
Il wonder why nature gave such
women good looks? They don't know
how to appreciate them. Woman for
gets that the face should be the most
striking thing about her. Why will
she persist in making it look ridiculous
with purple hats yard wide, dia-
monds in the ears, flaming red dresses,
collars that choke, corsets that squeeze
and every other imaginable thing?
when woman starts to dress why
won't she remember that her face is
the thing to think about? Why can't
she make herself attractive as natu'
rally, and as simple as possible? She
uses all her ingenuity trying to look
like something that she is not. Let
her be natural and cultivate her own
expression ard make the best of her
face.
"A sensible dress for any woman Is
plain brown dress. The only better
dress is a plain black one or plain
white one when the woman is young.
The other day / saw woman who
wore tan skirt, blue waist. purple
hat, and carried black handbag. Did
you ever hear Of anything so ridicu'
lous? I often wonder where the
woman got her taste from. Surely
any common sense person ought to be
able to see what colors harmonizc.
"There ought to be school for some
young women to learn how to dress
properly. 1t is Just what is wanted."--

An Eve For Color.


Happy Is the woman vino has an In
nate sense of harmony. who knows not
only one tint from another, but knows
what colors will blend and what colors
will quarrel. Happy the woman who
does not spend her strength and her
money trying to have an attractive
home or pleasing wardrobe and all to
no purpose.
The woman who has an eye for
color can work the happiest effects
and often with very small means.
Her home is restful and inviting. with
an indefinabe charm which money
alone can never buy She would no
NOR think of compelling purple 10
stand with blue or scarlet with Grim
son, than she would think OF inviting
into her parlor two persons who were
sworn enemies to each other. She
would avoid loud-mouth1d individual
| full of self assertion and overbearing
ways.
Instead of envying and aring the
rich, the woman who will study tho
nature of colors and the laws of har.
mony and make her selection in ac-
cordance with them will be gratified
with a beautiful home, simple, per-
haps, but wonderfully pleasing in its
air of cheerful comfort and expression
of refined feeling.
The woman who has a sense OF har.
mony, either native or acquired, will
not make the mistake of overlooking
her rooms or her garments. True art
demands the absence of whatever is
superhuous, meaningless, or contra
dictory and fretting. 1t may not be
easy to give up what vulgarity and
coarseness have so long exacted. but
refined taste once acquired has no use
for the tawdry, the worthless, and tho
oppressive weight of decoration.
Simplicity does not signify baroness
nor any form of Puritanisms but it does
mean a harmony that produces peace
on all who come under its influence. =

tn Avoid Wriplflps.

The finding Of gray halr does not
bring the same qualm to q woman as
the discovery of a wrinkle. Gray hairs
can be dyed, bleachcd or pulled out,
though the last operation is rather
painful. when every other one is turn
ing, and most women fear the loss OF
hair almost as much as tie coming q
wrinkles. Another thing most women
know is that the first sign of advanc-
ing years is the line directly under the
chin and the succeeding rolls of fat.
Following these gentle forerunners the
observant woman realizes that unless
strenuous measures are taken the rolls
of fat grow into an unsightiy bag of
flesh. When the skin turns brown a
woman's claim to youth is ended.
There is only one remedy for the wrin-
kles, and the gray hairs, too, experts
say, and that is skillful massage.

view of trade says:
Mild weather during the week
checked the distribution of seasonable
goods, but had permanent value in
facilitating the harvesting of cotton
and late grain Subsequently the tenn.
perature fell, restoring retail trade
in wearing apparel, fuel and similar
products to greater activity than was
experienced a year ago Building op-
Grafton are active. strengthening the
markets for lumber and materials.
Manufacturing plants are making
steady gains, particularly in the lead
ing industries. and it is significant that
reluctance to do business has shifted
from buyers to sellers, eliminating
largely the concessions in prices that
prevented stability. Labor is unusu-
ally well employed. judging by the
official compilation OF the unions. Rail-
way freight blockades cause some
complaint. which is remarkable in
view OF the restricted grain move
ment; and earnings in the three weeks
OF October were o.2 per cent. larger
than in 1903 Foreign commerce for
the last week exceeded the same per-
iod year ago by $I,58o77o in value Of
exports and $r,oI4S6I in imports. In
the iron and steel industry new cars
and ships are requiring very large ton
mage of plates and practically every
department except steel rails has
aroused from the dull and depressed
condition so long prevalent.

the United States, against 253 last
year, and 2S in Canada, compared with

Patchwork Modes Predicted.

Surpllce modes are followed in a
number Of waists-notice that waists"
seems a better term than blouses or
shirt waists for these separate gar
ments-and an excellent opportunity
is thus acquired for the combining of
two materials.
One charming sample of this tend
ency is a waist Of rich tafreta in gor-
geous Persian design, bound with q
band of dull "old blue" silk, and this
framing a chemisette and collar Of
cream embroidery. Another made in
the same style is of cream silk flannel,
q border Of moss-green velvet ribbon
running around neck and down the
crossed surplice fronts, inclosing a V
and stock of cream lace. Very beauti-
full they are viewed separately. But
one wonders how they are going to
look with any other kind Of skirt than
O shirt from the same fabric.

The Richest Women.

Mrs. Robert J. G. Walker, the Phila-
delphia woman who has Just inherited
S50,O00,000, has been obliged to stay in
her home most of the time since the
announcement of her inheritance to
prevent becoming victim of the snap
shot fiends. The desire for her pic
ture will pass in few days, but she
has succeeded, so far, in escaping the
camera. Miss Helen Gould has sue
ceeded in keeping her picture IRON
the papers, and few other people
have been equally successful. Miss
Gould is only half as Tich as Mrs.
Walker, and now ranks only ninth
among the worlds richest women.
Miss Bertha Krupp leads the list, be-
ing credited with $125,000,000, and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is second, with

Heauty Not n Fatal Gift.

A professor in a Philadelphia buSi-
ness college has informed a local re-
porter that beauty is an obstacle to the
employ of women in business
houses. In Philadelphia, it seems, busi-
ness men do not, when they advertise
for a. stenographer. add the words, mo
pretty girl need apply" but they go Oh
that principle. 1t appears that they
fear frivolity as an accompaniment OK
beauty. 1t is possible that this Is a
good and safe rule in Philadelphia, but
1t is certainly not rule that is hon
ored here, and we doubt II it is in any
city where feminine beauty is not so
rare as to excite suspicion when it oc-
ours. Nor is there the slightest ground
for the assumption that pretty wo-
man is likely to be any more frivolous
than a plain one. The gift of beauty
may. indeed, be fatal If no strength so
with 1t. but the Lever. the sounder
chivalry of our modern time assumes
that goodness goes with beauty as nor
maliy among women as 1t does
throughout the whole gamut OF ma
ture. New York Mail.

A Mans Rule For Coffee.

"The coffee at any breakfast table"
says veteran New York hotel man
ager, "is one of the most important
elements of Il satisfactory meal.
Coffee should never be decantcG.
The pot must be fitted with cover
that lifts off, and not one which swings
back. 1t must also have n cover for
the spout. Make your own filter froIg
a piece of not too fine white flannel
sewn into bag terminating in Il point,
which must be long enough to reach
to fit snugly over the top. Have your
coffee two-thirds Java, one-third
Mocha, or any mixture you prefer
ground as fine as powder. 1t will re-
quire all your Establishment to get
your grocer TO DO this, but the secret
Of the excellence of this way of making
coffee depends upon the flncncss with
which it is ground. Fill your pot with
boiling water 10 heat it, pour it out, fit
on the flannel bag, heaping teaspoon
for each person, and 'one for the pot
and pour on one large cup of boiling
water for each spoonful of coffee. The
water must be absolutely boiling and it
must be poured slowly. Let it stand
several minutes on the back of tho
range; lift out the bag and send it to
the table. l will not say have hot

and day with bare hand. 1t has been
urged that gloves and rings do not
agree. Better. 1t is argued, to show
well kept manicured fingers sparkling
with gems than to encase them In
gloves, which must necessarily make
them appear much larger. since 1t Is
an open secret that gloves at least one
size larger must be worn by women
who wear rings as compared with
those who do not. Again, 1t is plead
