Summer Food fer the Hands.

For pretty hands injured by the appear
ance of premature wrinkles use the milk
cure and avoid scented soap, says a
reliable authority. Sensitive skins become
withered by frequent contact with per-
fumed soap and water. The very best cas-
tile soap is preferable to any other when
the skin on pair of fair and pretty hands
begins to look dry and filed with tiny
cIisscrossed lines. The hand bath of fresh,
unskimmed milk is better still. A noted
instance of identifying the hands is that of
q well known prima donna. Her hands are
slim and white, but they became suddenly
as aged and Withered as those of a woman
of sixty. A friend saw them and showed
her own pretty, plump, snow white mem
bers in comparison.
Use milk my child" was her consola-
ton. Every morning a quart of best milk
Is sent to my rooms in the hotel, and four
times day / soak my hands just
ment or two in the sweet, white fluid. l
dry them gently with very old piece of
soft, pure linen, and they shine and glitter
such as yours and mine. 1t also tightens
up the outer cuticle and lends it a downy
SoftneSS.
in summer I use a milk bath for my
hands once day, and when l require a
bath for them in soap and water l use only
the purest CASTLE soap and water In which
a double handful of oatmeal has been laid
soaking for quarter of an hour"
The quickest way to whiten the hands is
to s.eep in loose gloves lined with almond
paste. To make the paste stir into half
a cupful of almond meal enough powdered
oatmeal to make a moderately stiff paste.
Soak the hands in warm suds until all the
art is removed and rub a little of the al
mond oil into the hands before putting on
the gloves.

Some Novel September Beverages.

Lemon Beer.-Squeeze sufficient lemons to
yield one pint of juice, add to this the thin
ly pared rinds of two lemons, one pound
Of sugar and four quarts of boiling water,
and let 1t stand till cool. Then add to it
half dissolved yeast cake and let 1t stand
in warm place for twenty-four hours
Strain and bottle it.
Cocoa Nectar.-In a breakfast cupful of
well made hot coffee dissolve two table
spoonfuls of cocoa. add to it half pound
of sugar and three cupfuls of water, then
strain. When it is cold flavor with vanilla
and when ready to serve pour into glasses
in each of which has been placed one ia
blespoonful of ice cream. Whipped cream
may be used in the place of ice cream.
Teade.-Pour a quart of good tea off the
leaves add to 1t the grated rind of one
orange the juice of two lemons and about
three ounces of sugar. Strain it and add
slices of orange and pineapple or, when in
season, a few whole strawberries. Just be-
fore serving the teade pour into 1t a newly
opened bottle of soda water 1t is nee
essary in making this beverage that the
tea should be strong and absolutely fresh.
Egg Lemonade.-Make a thin strip by
boiling pint and half of water with two
cupfuls of sugar. Add the grated rind
of one lemon and the juice of two When
it is quite cold and just Immediately before
serving whip in lightly two eggs beaten
separately and small quantity of bicar-
Donate of soda. Serve while foaming.

The Result Of Boiling" Your Food.

Many serious maladies are due to boiling
food. This bad habit not only leads to diff
ficulty Of digestion, but 1t favors excessive
eating. Each morsel of food should be
chewed until its flavor is no longer per-
ceptible. when it will be almost automati-
cally swallowed and digested quickly and
comfortably.
The morbid craving for food. which Is a
common symptom, is often dspeled by
leisurely and elaborate mastication. A
satisfy the appetite and the requirements
of the system much more readily than a
large quantity that has been bolted.
Many foods have a reputation for being
indigestble which they do not deserve II
these foods have been well chewed they are
quite easy of digestion. In the compact
Jumps in which they are swallowed by the
Needless not emily do they fail to be d.
gested, but they undergo chemical decom-
position, giving rise to great internal ir-
ritatlon, possibly resulting in Inflammation.
Severe headache and collie are frequently
attributable solely to this cause. Indeed,
it is quite within the bounds of possibility
that the continuous swallowing Of indigest-
ible Jumps of unchewed food may by the
irritation the latter cause pave the way
for cancer of the stomach
Not only is the stomach endangered by
the habit of boiling ones food; the appen-
dix Is also imperiled. Appendicitis Is very
much more common than 1t used to be,
and one reason for its prevalence is the
hurried swallowing of masses of unmasti-
Gated food.

Isle Lace and Embroidered Gowns.

Irish lace and embroidered linen undoubt-
eddy carry the day as regards popularity.
Our linen gown has beautiful skirt COM
posed of deep ounce of Irish guipure, the
upper part being narrowly gagged and
tucked and intersected with applied bands
of fine batiste. Numbers of these dainty
muslins and batistes are now worn over
pale colors, but undoubtedly the best
dressed people keep to all white, only in
Producing color in the sash. Corsages are
certainly simple in form, though the super
posing of one fine material upon another
suggests complication of details that in
themselves are bewidering. The universal

the models with narrow aprons and draped

swing down until the finger tips come as
close possible to the floor. The arms are
stiff and the bending is done at the waist
not at the knees.
The first time this exercise is tried the
hands will be several inches from the floor.
When the summer girl can touch the floor
with her fingers she may depend upon 1t
that her waist measure Is going down.
Another and more strenuous exercise for
accomplishing the same purpose is this Lie

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, September l, 1904.
1t has been several weeks since autumn
styles and coloring began to put in an
appearance but up to this moment they
have been coldly received. Furs and
feathers. and October reds and yellows are
without taste so to speak, when the Their
mometer is in the nineties. 1t is only when
the season for them is immediately immi-
nent that fashions for a new period are
appreciated, and then, in the twinklng of
an eye, former beauties become by COM
parison without salt or SAVIOR.
Looking upon the new things which now
spread their charms in every shop and
private establishment, the heart is conf
pletey weaned from old loves. There Is a
gay and gallus air about the rolling -brm-
med and feathered hats that brings a gen
uine contempt for the late fiat and dis
Greet styles The long coats too, which,
to marked degree, replace the short bo-
leros repeat the same generous and roman
tic note. There is a look of amplitude
about them all, as if the spirit of the maker
was too large to stop at tribes, and as II
material was plentiful.
Buttons are big and the tails of the coats
they ornament sometimes fall within a
foot of the skirt HEM The cuffs of the
sleeves of these coats are likewise lavish
in cut, for certain sorts mount with Stiff
TakishneSs to the elbow.
The mannish air of such details has not
come by accident. The long cuff is a sug-
gestion of the French revolution, as well
as the velvet or ribbon cockade upon a
number of the hats Side by side with
these dashing "reminiscences of a grue-
some period are encountered the soft Wat
teau-like modes of the Louis XIV epoch,
pointed bodices, such as young Marie An
toinette herself might have worn; frivolous
sleeves that stop at the elbow, and wide,
Swathing girdles- that hold in the figure
with the old stiffness.
Near Perfection.
The most unappreciative in matters of
artistic loneliness cannot but admit that
feminine dress has reached a point very
nearly approaching perfection. Conven-
tional and commonplace fashions must nee
essarily continue to exist, but the true ele-
gante in dress will be picturesquey charm
ing. This point, however, as far as the

Higher and Smaller.

But to reach the salient point of autumn
and winter millinery, it has gone up in
height and lessened in circumference. 1t has
become bulky, thick, cumbersome and yet,
with it all, becoming to the majority of
wearers. The heavy look is in great meas
ure due to the shapes advanced, which the
big rosettes and velvet and ribbon roses
do not tighten. Many headpiece has the
air of being overbalanced at some point
1t looks as if it might fall off If you said
boo! Yet, when you come to examine the
miracle you find that the head fits into 1t
as if to the structure born. Millner fingers
are always cunning, but in the adoption of
these theatrical looking styles to every
day needs they seem to have done wonders.
In the wearing of wells there is ten
dency to drape many scarf fashion around
the throat. the end falling at the side or
back. Very long scarfs of chiffon or lace
are used for this manipulation, which APP
peared during the summer in Paris, and is
still much admired there. Chiffon wells are
in brilliant hues-scarlet, amethyst and
bright blue. One end of these wells, as with
most of the scarf sorts, will also form the
hat trimming. MARY DEAN.

Extremely Plain.

The coat gowns extremely plain, and
broadcloth and many smooth and diagonal
woods are used for them.
Amethyst purple is a new shade seen in
the mixed wool textures. Black or white
shows with it. A walking gown of such a
material is made with long, tght-fitting
redingote and plain gOred skirt. Narrow
bands of the stitched material ornament
the cCat which is worn over cream net

show perfectly fingered breadths, fitted
with tucks or pleats at the hips. AT the
bottoms the skirts are trimmed round with
entire deux of all sorts, bands of ribbon
gimp and velvet and deep folds put on to
initiate tuckS.
The gathered waists of these little
toilets, which are seen in the ARREST veil
ngs, show a girlish roundness and are
girded high by the inevitable wide belt
All sorts of collar and cape and yoke effects
lengthen the shoulders, and the tops of the
bouffant elbow length sleeves fit very fatty

Ostrich Feathers.

Quantities of ostrich feathers are to be
worn this winter, though only the bouquet
like plume that comes from the male bird
will be employed Whole parrots and par
roquets will also deck the fronts or sides
of walking shapes, while the wider quilts
will be trimmed in every instance.
A recently imported hat of seal brown
beaver showed the brilliancy with which
the French modiste now chooses to employ
these once stiff and uninteresting deckings.
Two large wide brown quilts at the left side
were bordered at the feather edge with a
narrow shaded orange velvet and displayed
down the stem three graduating roSetteS of
the same.
The rosette which trims another hat trim
ming is a very fiat affair. 1t is generally
made of narrow putting, gathered at middle
and outer edge and applied as fatty as en-
brodery. Many devices are used to make
stiff shapes becoming. Walking hats that
lift wide brims grotesquely high at both
sides are softened at the left in some eff
fective way. Wide velvet scarfs are often
draped there, or a paradise plume may
drift airily against the hair from velvet
roSette.
Shaded paradise birds are novelties seen
around the crowns of other hats, the Won
derfully tinted tail running directly from a
beaked head in the deepest tone of the
color employed. The theater chapeau so
decked is of old pink felt with the bird
shading to white.

summer appears with autumn changes in
many stout materials. Smooth surface
textures are more seen than Mapped or
hairy ones, and to have them trimmed
with stitched bias bands seems to be a fad
of the moment
The autumn street gown, therefore NAV
pc recognized in these long-coat models
which have been long enough predicted
| me change in hats seems to come more
suddenly. Yet all at once audaciouslv curl
ing brlms, high crowns and bold trimmings
conceive what appears to be the only cor
rect headgear. AS to it's material there are
enough sorts to supply all tastes, though
SILK beaver and velvet and chenille braid
are offered for first wear. With the hats
OF suffer brms such as the velvet taffeta
covered shapes, pot crowns are seen, some
quite 1--WE or six inches high, and tapering
smaller at the top or straight Denied
crowns on blunt alpine order mark many
of the soft felts, whose trimmings run to
velvets employed to produce the effect of
standings. Shaded schemes are much in
vogue, satin ribbons in different tones
achieving them upon one headpiece and
softer ribbons or feathers upon another.
Rosettes and a folded crown band of
messaine ribbon in radium tones deck
silk beaver in pale brown. A white felt for
theater wear has narrow puffings of burnt
orange velvet running oddly around the
brm, under which at the left side drops
wide ostrich feather shading from a rich
orange to pure white
