FASHION NOTES.

The new skirts are full, yet very
clinging.
A touch ofburnt orange distinguishes
the few early autumn hats displayed.
Soft, supple broadcloths of the light
est weight are to be the autumn mode.
1t is said pinking is TO replace the
strapping so long popular as a trim
ming.
Mousseline waists of self tone are
TO be immensely popular to wear with
cloth walking suits.
Novelty shades, such as onion, old
red and dahlia, are TO be very much
favored for house wear.
The Costume de STYLE" or gown of
a particular period Of fashion. is to
be one OF the fads OF the winter.
Whether to accompany a suit of the
more elaborate, or the palmer tailored
style, the walking skirt is the correct
thing.
Large broderie Anglaise designs are
rapidly appearing upon many things.
SO the fad has lsst u tribe of its ex-
clusiveness.
Jackets are mostly OF the shortest
of short boleros. or the twenty four
inch Louis XIV. coat of the most elab-
crate description.
Mauve, gray, onion, tau, pale yellow
and robins egg blue are the smart
tints foi the ceiored linen walking
gown so fashionable just now.

stockings and kid shoes 70 match, are
the vivid accessories recently worn by

MORBID CURIOSITY OF WOMEN

MORBID CURIOSITY OF WOMEN.
to but very few OF the feminine popu-
lation nowadays, and as the time ad-
vances the weak and clinglng women
are less in evidence. 1t is rather sur
prislng and quite disheartening to
| learn the number of women who are
curious seekers OF morbid sights and
many of the horrible accidents which
have occurred lately have proved that
| TO be the case. The woman with the del
| icate feelings has been replaced by the
woman who is capable OF doing nearly
| everything in any sphere In which sire
may he placed, and they very often go
out of their way to see things which are
not fit for sight The General Slocum
disaster gave these creatures great de-
light, and seeking ont the dead bodies
| the police were kept busy with a long
| stream of women who claimed to be
looking for their loved ones, while
| they were simply curious. Another
place which is frcguented by women
is the animal show at the beaches.
| There several times n day trainers OF
wild animals appear in the arena and
compel lions. tigers, pumas, jaguars
and many others 10 perform. 1t is
dangerous proceeding, and very short
time ago one well-knOwn trainer nearly
lost his life. After that became known
women crowded in TO see the show.
Not infrequently do women trainers
enter the cage and put the animals
through their PAGES. And still women
go to witness such things. 1t is very
true that some women have a morbid
sense of curiosity.

COMMENTS BY A WOMAN.

If women would realize how much
eating and drinking between meals
encourages indigestion, they would re-
fraln from indulging in these things.
Just think how your stomach is taxed
by innumerable cups of tea, coffee, ice
cream, bon-bons and cake. How can
you enjoy your home dinner after
indlscriminate eating and drinking?
If you do not indulge in the refresh
ments at a reception you are put down
as a crank. Better to be a crank and
possess good health than to be gen
eral favorite and ruin your digestive
organs.
A housekeeper said recently that one
should never judge young woman's
ability as cook by the cake she offers
you. Almost any girl learns how to
make cake. Insist on stopping TO
dinner and observe the plain boiled
potatoes

from the odious compulslon which

vice she can render to society, to her
country, and to the world; anu in her
better equipment for the finest and
highest service of all, that which is in.
herent in motherhood. "It is a wom-
ans destiny" Balzac makes one Of

things, but men. Our creations are
not children; our children are not pic

is the greatest career of all-greater
than that OF the lawyer, the doctor,
the poet, or the artist. Law governs
life, medicine prolengs life, poetry por-
trays life, art presents a simulacrum OF
life; the mother creates life. The edu-
cation of the future will recognize
motherhood M the supremest of all

name will be fashioned TO conform

BEADED CANDLE SHADES.

Beaded shades are in high favor for
candles. They are not difficult to
make, and the making Of them is pret-
ty occupation for spare minutes. There
are so many kinds of lovely beads now
adays that one can hardly make an
ugly shade IL one selects delicate, fine,
translucent beads. Gold beads, silver
beds. very pale turquoise. green and
crystal beads are charming. but, as q
rule. they are not mixed. II one Is ex-
pert, little pattern may be strung
into the strands that go to compose the
shades; but even this is prettier for be-
ing kept low and refined in tone. The
light shining through the beads gives
them wonderful brilliunce.
