| Ior can still keep to her old diet. She can
still throw open the windows and she can
still dress in loose clothing. She can keep
the same style OF dress which she wore
while away-ioose. comfortable. light and
pretty-and the result will be very ap-
parent in her improved spirits.
SWEET SMELLS OF THE COUNTRY.
And there is another cause of that tired
feeling In the fall. The city woman who
returns to town misses the music OF the
country.
She misses the cheerful sound Of the
singing birds and the whispering trees.
She misses all the cheerful cricketings and
she misses the twitierings and the glad
sounds of country life.
These she cannot supply In the city life.
But she can get other things. She can get
a day out in the country now and then
and she can take trolley rides and she
can steal holiday when her nousework
is not too pressing.
The city woman. home from the farm.
misses the scents of the country. She
misses the sweet odors which were so in
vigorating and she feels the need of the
spices which were waited into her win,
dows at early morning.
The city woman can supply herself with
these sweet scents II she will cultivate the
rose jar. If she will keep great pots of
potpourri in the halls and In the rooms.
Each morning. after the rooms are busted.
the tops should be lifted of the Jars and
the rose leaves should be stirred.
In the big jars there are all kinds OF
puIverized grasses and these will give
forth sweet smells and send them sweep
ing through the railways.
The English housewives, they Of the fine
conpiexions and strong muscles. make 1t
a practice to stand big pots OF potpourri
in the halls.
And each day they stir them from the
very bottom. A japanese jar which Is
shoulder high. 80 high that 1t takes long
walking stick to stir It to the bottom,
stands In the hall of a handsome house
on the Thames. and each day the owner
stirs it to its depths and sends its fras-
rance through the house.
The schoolgirl can have her jar Of pot
pourri. and so she can always obtain q
sweetIy scented room.
But the schoolgirl must exercise. She
can take her book OF any other schoolroom
implement and do q simple series OF gym
nastics. And SO she can keep her muscles
In good shape and her lungs full Of air,
even though she is no longer in the coun- |
try.

The girl who has spent the summer out
Of doors, as nearly every girl has. comes
back to school feeling tired.
The confinement OF the schoolroom
brings about a muscular reaction that is
very depressing after a summer of sports.
Her spirits. too. feel the strain and the
difference between outdoor life and the
life Of the books and aliases is very pro-
nounced. She gets up In the morning feel
ing listless and goes TO bed in the same
manner.
1t is severe test upon vitality. this sud
den change from outdoor life TO indoor life.
And Il is not only the girl student who
feels this change. 1t Is felt by school chill
dren Of all ages and by every child who
has spent the summer in the country.
The child who has lived in the open will
have a tired. stuffy fooling indoors.
Grown-up persons are speciiI sufferers in
this matter. 1t is not so much the man Of
the house. the family man. or the clerk,
who feels the change. because man is out
in the air more or less all the time.
The family man gets up in the morning
and goes to business. He goes out 10 his
MONDAY meal.
He is in and out ali day, and he comes
home at night weary. but with his lungs
filled with good air.
But with the woman of the household 1t
ts different She is in the house all day.
She sews and, perhaps. cooks and does the
usual housewifeiy duties.
She does not get out more than once
day. Indeed, certain housewife admitted
recently that there were days and days
when she did not stir a foot off the front
doorstep.

Revival of Antique Furniture
Brings Demand for Hand Made
Mats Natural Colors That
Are Decorative.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Grandmother's taste and grandmother:
ways Of making things prevail very much
in house decoration just now.
Ka woman would have her home re-
feet the latest fashion she must, besides
bringing to view all her old furniture and
china, have most Of her rugs and draper
ies bear old-fashioned designs.
These are the favorites to-day.
The rugs. moreover. to be truly correct,
should. unless they are Oriental. for no
one would discard these. be- hand made
or made on hand loom. and home dyed.
Those shown In the illustrations are all
made in the laborious manner that was
used two generations ago. The patterns
are antique or others adapted to present
day demands. The quaintness of deriGn

to q home q quiet charm that nothing

MOTHER WHO LAUGHS
Hints in Regard to Developing a
Child's Sense of Humor.

There are many conscientious fathers
and mothers who make themselves and
their children miserable by taking youth
ful foibles too seriously
II is an innate propensity Of child
possessed of average good health and
spirits to make older people laugh with
him; not at him, but at the things that
seem amusing to his own sense.
And the mother who has the biithe and
ready humor to enter into his fun be-
comes his most fascinating companion.
He needs her rebukes and bends to her
correction without III feeling, where stern
ness would arouse his pride and ire, for
he is assured that she is ready TO share
all hIs innocent pranhs. and that her
disapproval has no foundation in i'm
patience or Injustice. says woman's Life.

Fashion Is Returning to Mode of
Ten Years Ago-Elbow, Cuffs
of Point de Venise.

There is no denying the fact that the
sleeves Of the present day resemble very
closely those worn some twelve years
back.
As yet they are not so exaggerated and
the principal fullness Is still near the ell
bow. but the puff is mounting rapidly up
ward and In many evening gowns the
sleeve now consists simply Of one large
Duff at the shoulder with q soft cape Of
lace falling over It
Severe tailor gowns and simple Jackets
made for hard wear over a shirtwaist
have the tight coat sleeves. but for elabo-
rate costumes. afternoon and evening
gowns, as well as all kinds Of wraps.
there is no limit set to the size of the
sleeve. and on the house gown the greatest
ingenuity is ofttimes required in order TO
get the required amount Of trimming and
handwork on the given amount of ma
terial.
With gowns Of wolfe, chiffon cloth and
many other soft materials It is a good
idea to render the gown still lighter and
softer by having the sleeve made entirely

CHANGE IN YOUR DIET
for many other reason besides that Of
being cooped up in a closed room. one
nisses many things which one zets in the
country. And the principal thing is the
change IN Diet.
In the country you may not have had
fresh meat. and YOU may have had poor
tea and coffee. but you had plenty Of
fresh vegetables
Corn on the cob wsG plentiful. and you
had string beans and spinach and plenty
Of other green things. nor counting the
fruit which you picked up under the
trees and ate between meals until YOU
nearly burst open.
What with thc pIuH1s. the APPLES. the
crab apples and the pears which you stole.
you managed to obtain a plentiful supply
of perfectly fresh fruit ct all hours OF the
day.
You miss the miss-or-hit diet. which
somehow did not give you Indigestion.
Indigestion comes when you get home.
And. though your roasts are done to Il
turn. as no country roast ever was doue,
and though your steaks would melt in
your mouth. while the country steak was
leather, and though your city chickens
are tSIl0ereT anu IiOic pieHtiiul Ifldl lils
country fowls. still you do not feel right.
The trouble is a vegetarian trouble. You
need more fruit, all kinds. you need less
shell fish, you need less rich meat, you
need less OF nearly everything that goes
on the family table. and a great deal more
of the country diet 1t was skimping on
everything except raw fruit and fresh
vegetables. But 1t was long on beets. on
onions. on turnips and on potatoes. And
these are the very things your complex |
ion and your spirits need. Don't break |
off abruptly. But give them UP gradually |
If give them up you must.

ATTIC TREASURES

Not Always the Newest Fabrics

shawl, heavily embroidered in japanese
stitch. and edged all about with a solid

Forty years ago. perchaDce. when hoops

well out in the neck.
Attached to the latter slip was

same shade. Around the bottom Of the
skirt and below the elbow especially 1t

When with It the black lace overdress
was worn the combination was most at

would have associated the gown with the
young woman's much admired black lace
afternoon frock.

COST OF BEING M STYLE.
Practically No Limit to the Expen- diture of Fashionable Wom-
 en for Dress.

Thesums squandered on clothes by the very rich are astonishing, says Rene Bache, in the Philadel phia Saturday Evening Post. It is true that even the mnlti-mil honaire, though his apparel comes to pretty penny, is obliged to be severely simple in his own afeine, but in the costuming of hisssfe and daughters he has an opEa9r# nity to open wide his overtlowing purse. For the cost of women < raiment has practically no limit, and lady of highest fashion can hardly be comfortable on a dress allowance of less than $20,000 d year. If her husband is liberal he may give her $25.000 without fear that he is encouraging her to in dnlge an undue extravaganza.
 In order 10 be comfortable I woman of fashion ought to have at least 60 frocks 3 year. Five Of these should be tailor.made suits for street wear. There should be 15 evening gowns. ten dining gowns and six little dresses" as they are called, of soft wools and silks, for informal afternoons. To these should be added 15 summer dresses of fine French muslins. with much lace and embroidery and half dozen tailor-made linen suits, also for warm weather.
 The street suits cost from s125 to $250 apiece. They are severely plain, and that is why they are so expensive, the gloye-like fit being all important. The finest tailor ing is done on the simplest gowns, and it is for this reason that the linen suits above mentioned come to $75 or $100 each. A fashion able dressmaker will charge from $50 to s750 for the evening and dinner gowns, $S5 to $150 for the little dresses" and S100 to $500 for the summer mnslins, with their dainty frills and furbelows.
 Of tea gowns" in which my lady may receive her very inti- mate friends on occasions, she will have three or four (costine from $60 to $500, adorned with much lace, and one of them trimmed with fur, perhapsl, and these will be supplemented by an equal number of wrappers, of soft silks and baptistes onablY known as "negligees"0. equally ex- pensive and trimmed with yalen- ciennes.

WOMEN ON STREET CARS
Difference in Their Individual Con. duct Keeps the Conductor
 Guessing.

Ever watch how different wom- ensignal to have the ear stopped ?" asked the conductor, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. q don't believe any two women do the thing just the same way. There's the woman who begins to fidget about four blocks before her cor ner, and keeps us guessing as to where she wants to get off. And then there's the woman who be- gins to beg LIS every time we go through the car not to carry her past her corner. One woman tries to be dignifed and mods her head so slightly that unless you're look. ing close or straight at her yon don't catch the signal at all. An other woman stands up, hourishes her umbrella and then sits down again. Some wonaa work their way 10 the door @ afoee we reach their corner. and others wait till the ear stops, and then fall over themselves and every. body else in order to get out.
 "One woman this morning waved handbag at me and yelled: Hi, you! I want to get off here.' Another woman raised one finger, and l could see her lips moving. She was no doubt nam. ing the street, but I could not hear that whisper the length of the car, so l took it for granted that she wanted to get off at the next cor. ner. But she didn't. She wanted three blocks beyond. But the woman who gets me is the one
