The Seasons STYLES

Madras in all patterns has rather taken
the place of the plain materials and some
of the most attractive Of the plain shirt
waist gowns are made OF madras unre-
lieved too, by any trimming, but the mad
ras shirt waist is no longer considered
smart now with a dark skirt Of any ma
terial any more than any other plain shirt
waist. 1t must be admitted, however. that
there are few more attractive OF smarter
morning gowns for summer than these
plain madras shirt waist gowns on the
tailor made order and severely plain,
without even ribbon, belt or sash, but ca
modest belt of the same material or Of
white leather.
ACCORDION pleated chiffon. liberty silk OF
light weight crepe de chine waists are con-
siderad the most appropriate to be worn
with cloth gowns, and it is possible to
make these waists cool enough for any
ordinarily hot weather II thin lining be
used and the collar and small round yoke
are made Of lace or embroidery and areun-
lined: The waist must match the skirt in
color is the rule, and II these materials are
too heavy then the only thing left is a
lawn or silk null, which can be made up
in the same fashion.

How to Really Reduce

Miss Nella Bergen, who I'm private life
is Mrs. DeWof Hopper, tells how she re-
duced her too solid flesh and her story
should be OF interest to all women N
clined toward embonpoint. She says:

dreaded foe, The scales. registered me at

Don't overdo it, cautioned a friend in
whom I connded. Too much physical
culture as practiced in the gymnasiums
for women simply turn the fatty tissues
into muscle without perceptible diminu-
fion of weight Do as I have done. Start
in early every morning. throw your hands
above your head and then place them
palms down, on the floor $500 consecutive
times.
Eighteen hundred times" I gasped.

Finally they brought me 10 and the

turned to the torture. THIS time actually

ments. Bed again and lame back. The
following day / ocipsed this record. No
bed this time. but the lame back was still
in evidence.

Dressma ker's Prices

Il have a distinctly sliding scale Of
prices" declared a dressmaker this
week, "and 1 gauge it by my custom
ers. Those who can afford to pay
charge more than to others for whom
/ have worked for years. and whom
1 know cannot afford much. But the
most elastic prices are those made for
women who have one gown made two
or three times.
There are those. plenty of them,
and they are the ones who have their
own ideas which no human could carry
out. They come i'm and tell me they
want a gown made In such a fashion.
1 tell them they viii not like it when
it is done. They insist. and I fix it.
When it is done it looks like the old
scratch, for unless a frock is very
perfect i'm these present extreme FASH
ions it is awful Then they want the
gown changed. Frequently they have
it go home, rip it an TO pieces them
selves and then send It back. A gown
like that is made at least twice. and I
have learned to charge for IT, Every
dressmaker has some OF these custom
ers, and she breads them unspeakably.
The gown is never satisfactory. either
to herself or any one else. and much
time and money has gone into it,"

Practical Demonstration.

At an encampment of British troops
IN the East Indies one of the officers
had a horse stolen. but the thief miss
ing his way, was detected and brought
back. The next morning the officer
inquired how he had got possession. of
the horse. The man replied that he
could not we'll tell'his honor, but would
be pleased to show him. Now" said
he, "this is how 1 crawled over the
grooms. The next thing was TO loosen
the ropes behind. 1 then clapped a
halter over the neck thus" "Admira-
bier said the officer. 'In this manner.
sir. observe 1 jumped upon his back 3"
He then gave the horse a smart cut
with a whip, put him to full speed and
carried him clear off, TO the mortifica-
ton of the astonished owner.-London

The U:'iquitous Bag

Is the old-fashioned reticule return
Ing? This Is a question asked by one
and all, for there is no doubt but that
the small wrist bag introduced about
two years ago is slowly but very surely
becoming larger and larger and chang
ing In shape from a small purse with
the chain to large soft leather hand
bag
The rather large but shapeless crush
leathNr wrist bags are quite the new
est things so far, and certainly ap-
proach very near to the beautiful silk
and satin reticules carried by our
mothers and grandmothers. The aver
age size for the wrist bag is from six
to seven inches square. The leather is
merely caught In at the top by the
steel or leather binding and lock. Chain
and leather handles are both used. the
latter being more often employed on
the newer bags.
Inside the bag is daintly lined with
silk or satin. one or two pockets of the
silk being attached to the sides. Usu-
ally there is a small change purse OF
the same leather, which has its own
compartment For travelling. these
samll bags can be procured which are
perfectly fitted out with tiny bottles
for smelling salts. etc, some having as
many IS six tiny silver topped TASKS
and there Is at the same time room
and plenty for any small articles, as a
handkerchief, or tickets, and yet the
bag is still quite small and light.
Small oblong wrist bags are equally
smart and perhaps quite as convenient
as the square crush bags They may be
quite plain within. having only the side
silk pockets. or again they are fitted
up with change purse and card case
or with the small glass TASKS for tray
cling purposes.
Now that pockets in the gowns have
been so completely done away with
one Of these wrist bags is an absolute
necessity, while some women have d
| bag TO match each gown. They may
/ be procured i'm all colOrs. brown. tan

TWO COMPOSERS.
Rossini was an Easy Worker, While
Meyerbeer Was Strenuous.

Rossini was an Easy Worker, While
Meyerbeer Was Strenuous.
Giacomo Meyerbeer went at every
thing ferociously. The work of com.
posing made him restless, excitable
and caused him many sleepless nights.
This condition was always worst in
the spring Of the year. He did his best
work when the wind howled, the rain
poured down in torrents and humanity
generally sought refuge indoors. Dur
ing such natural upheavals the great
composer was In his element Deluged
with ideas. his fingers charmed from
the piano the rarest and most wonder
ful melodies.
Compared to Meyerbeer, ROssini was
nn easy worker and always ready with
his pen. Some Of his most charming
compositions originated under the most
commonplace circumstances. One day
while the composer was still abed en-
tertaining a few friends the poet To
tala brought him the words TO the cele-
brated prayer song in Moses" Ros.
SIM read the text. and the poet. fear
ing some sarcastic remarks on the part
of the former. said. 1T took me an
hour to write these verses"
"An hour to write such verses ?"
cried Rossini. "I'll set them to music
In a quarter of an hour"
He asked for pen and paper, and in
ten minutes. while his friends chaffed
the author. the great maestro wrote
that inimitable prayer song in his op-
era, Moses"

Charming Young Woman

Among the many charming young
girls who graced society at the end OF
the nineteenth century. there was sure
~ no one more sought after than Pam
ella the brilliant and accomplished
daughter of Sir Trevor Chicele Plow-
den, and she has lost nothing of her
popularity since her marriage. Her
husband, the third Lord Lytton, is the
son of owen Meredith. poet and poll
tlcian, and grandson of the great now
elist, Bulwer the first Lord Lytton.
from whom he has inherited his strong
literary tastes, says Home Notes
Like her husband, who was born at
Simla, Lady Lytton is a veritable child
of the Orient He- people have for
two or three generations. at least, been
distinguished Ipdian Civil servants.
and in India. while she herself was a
mere child, her mother lost her life
from a snake bite
Lady Lytton, I'm addition TO the good
looks she has inherited from her beau
tiful mother, is endowed with a sweet
voice and a charming manner.

Light COIOrs Used

Although white gowns are sure to
be attractive and smart at all times,
still this year, light shades Of pink,
lavender. blue and yellow seem to be
rather more in evidence for the hand
soonest frocRs for all but quite young
girls. This is undoubtedly because
white has for so long held absolute
sway that the cry for variety is again
being heard Another drawback to
dressing entirely in white is the fact
that although there may be any num-
Der of gowns all totally different the
color is really what is noticed and re-
membered, and if there be nothing but
white, the wardrobe viii seem so much
more limited than is at all the case.
