Oriental Ornaments

Some of the big Oriental ornaments
for which there is now fad should be
regarded as boon by women with that
curiously formed neck that has given
rise to the term Chicken breasted"
This is when the chest bone protrudes
in a straight line, making a distinct
rise In the middle. This is even home
lier than a hollow neck. and, as a rule,
more difficult to hide. Yet one of these
big ornaments viii do precisely that.
They are four or five inches long. with
top part and pendants. and proportion
ately wide. Strung on a slender chain,
they hang over the bone. leaving the
rest OF the neck unadorned and pretty.
The pendants that are wider than
they are long should be avoided by wo-
men whose necks are not plump and
pretty. The ornaments line are dispro-
portionate really, and emphasize angu-
larity. Where that is lacking the pen
liant will do no harm.
While all these gowns are specially
pretty with low neck gowns. they are
also suitable for high frocks. and viii
be much worn at luncheons. teas and
for all afternoon occasions this season
Long chains that have been i'm vogue
for several years show no inclination tC
go out, and ornaments to be worr
on them grow more varied. There is 2
distinct fad for crosses now. jewellec
as are the chains.

Fashion Tips

Furs are beginning to be worn.
Among others noted is a shaped scarf
of sable lined With ermine and trimmed
with pendant sable tails.
Beautiful chinchila muffs as well as
neckpieces have been seen on the
street, and several stoles of gray squir-
rel have been in evidence. while ermine
neckpieces in cravats and other small
pieces are also seen.
In many of the handsome dinner and
evening gowns the upper part of the
bodice is attached to the wide girdle
that forms the lower half by hooks and
eyes. thus doing away with many thick
nesses about the waist line.
In cloths drap d'ete, but much softer
and thinner than the old-time material
OF that name, is being much used in
London for handsome reception toilets
1t is especially adapted for embroider-
les.
A gown worn at a recent dinner was
a white silk grenadine nearly covered
with large red flowers woven i'm and

ing a broche effect. The gown was cu
princess, and from the deep round necl
depended a deep round cape to match
but having silvery white spangles out
lining many of the flowers. This capi

LITERARY

Since the days OF "Allce in Wonder
land" there has been but one book that
can take rank with that children's clas-
sic, THE Wizard OF o." Now, how
ever. there are many reasons to believe
that in "The Pearl and the Pumpkin" g"
by Messrs. Paul West and w. w Dens-
low. children Of all ages are to be treat
ed TO a story that win rival Alice" and
THE Wizard" in popularity.
Nothing so whimsical in device has
been concocted in the way Of a story in
many years. The Scarecrow OF THE
Wizard" a creation Of Mr.. Denslow's,
by the way, is said to be surpassed as
a quaint character by half a dozen per-
sonages In the Pearl and the Pumpkin"
while the daintiness of Alice finds a
parallel in a little girl whose adven-
lures help make the story.
The book is, however not to be con-
sidered for a moment as a copy in any
way OF either of the famous stories
mentioned. for it is original In plot and
treatment in every particular, and de-
parts absolutely from the scheme of
any pervious story written for children.
IL is mystical, witty, and free from
anything that could possibly offend the
most sensitive child or startle him with
a scare"

CoIors and Shades

The Havana. cinnamon and seal shades
are good. and the mixed browns showing
a touch Of red or black. or perhaps both
are expected TO have a fashionable fol-
lowing for the later season. Greens. per-
haps, come next; then several new tints
in blue, from the sapphire to the plum
the deeper and richer violet tones, many
OF which show distinct reddish purple,
and the Burgundy tints; all are made use
of in unobtrustive mixture.
In broadcioths and in the satin-faced
chiffon cloths with their suedc-like sur
face there are some novel colorings that
are artistic in the extreme.
All OF the geranium, Jacqueminot and
automobile reds are considered extreme
ly good in these. the richer wine shades
from the old-time grenat TO the deepst
Burgundy. dull-fnished leaf greens in me-
dium tints some of the more sober grays
that lean to the drab dove and Quaker
colorings; fawn. a dull pink approaching
the rose cendree and almost everything
I'm brown, from the palest cafe au lait tC
the richest seal, are in high favor.

The Matinee Girl

The matinee girl
Must avoid whispering or giggling dur
ing the perform1p,e.
Must remember that the people in the
rear have as much right as she to see the
stage and she must not lean so as to in
terfere with their view.
Must not criticise the costumes in the
audience in too audible a voice.
Must not enthuse too openly about the
hero in the play. unless she wishes TO
appear ridiculous to the unsympathetic
ears Of her more stony-hearted auditors.
Must, If possible, avoid surreptitious
fumoling with her locks TO see whether
they are disarranged.
Must be sure that her collar is fastened
neatly in the back. for that is in full
view Of the people in the rear.
Must never. under any pretense, chew
candy. Nothing stamps a girls social
standing more quickly to a stranger than
eating candy, especially peppermints, al

TRUE AMERICAN TYPE.

Theodore RoOaeveIts Estimates of
the Farmer TruthfulIy Given.
1t remains true now, as II always has
been, that in the last resort the country
districts are those in which we are
surest to find the old American spirit
the old American. habits Of thought
and ways Of living. Conditions have
changed in the country far less than
they have changed In the cities, and
in consequence there has been little
breaking away from the methods OF
life which have produced the great ma
jority Of the leaders of the republic in
the past. Almost all Of our great pres
idents have been brought up in the
country, and most OF them worked
hard on the farms in their youth and
got their early mental trimming in the
healthy democracy of farm life
Roosevelt at Bangor, Me-, Aug. p. 1902
The countryman, the man on the
farm, more than any other of our cit
liens today, is called upon continually
to exercise the qualities which we like
to think of as typical of the United
States throughout its history, the quail
ties OF rugged independence, masterful
resolution and individual energy and
resourcefulness. He works hard-for
which no man is to be pitied-and Of
ten he lives hard-which may not be
pleasant-but his life is passed in
healthy surroundings. surroundings
which tend 10 develop a fine type OF
citizenship. In the country, moreover
the conditions are fortunately such as
to allow a closer touch between msr
and man than too often we find to be
the case in the city. Men feel more
vividly the underlying sense Of broth
erhood, of community OF interest
Bangor, Me, Aug. %, 1902.
The man who tills his own farm
whether on the prairie or in the wood
/ land, the man who grows what we ea
and the raw material which is worked
up into what we wear, still exists mor'

Judge Parker asserts that "a free
people cannot withhold freedom from
another people and themselves be
free" This is a fine, metallic. epigram-
matte sound. What is the sense Of it,
1t is only a play Of words, only
juggling with an underlined meaning
OF "free" and freedom"
In the sense OF full political and civil
rights the Indians have not been free.
Alaska is not free. The negroes in

Skirts Are Shorter

Even for home wear skirts are short
er. and for the street both long and short
skirts are made. The truth Is that regu-
lar war is being waged among the lead
ing tailors of the different countries on
the subject of street dress.
One faction is in favor of the short
skirt and the severe "tailor-made" order
of street dress; the other contends for
the long skirt and the elaborate style. AS
yet no compromise has been arrived at
save that apparently it has been decided
that one costume to do duty all day long
is impossible. For morning and for gen.
eral wear it is the short skirt and the
three-quarter length coat always. but fol
afternoon the long skirt and short coat
or jacket with basque and everything
about the costume as elaborate and ex-
pensive as possible.
