THE FRILLS OF FASHION.

Bowknots are favorite applique de-
sign.
Long sash ends Of black tulle adorn
the evening gowns.
Lace stocks are much more chic than
stiff ribbons and collars.
White wash kid gloves are useful to
wear with the shirt waist suit.
A belt buckle in front, one in black,
and one on each side are none too
many.
Bands of fowered lawn are inserted
into the newest wide turnover collars
and cuffs.
An odd parasol is of white satin, per-
fectly plain, except for a garland of
violets which encircle the edge.
Quantities of flowers are used as
berthas, chetelaines, and sprays for
evening wear, and some of the dainti-
est sleeves are composed entirely of
chains of flowers.
A pretty handkerchief stock is one
of those in part nouveau designs; flow
ers in colors, with long waving stems,
finishing the edges of fine white
handkerchiefs, the flowers finished
with edges of embroidery in white.
Smart summer shoes and dainty
openwork or lace trimmed stockings
lend their share Of prettiness to the
general effect of modish dressing. One
might say, indeed, that never before
have women worn such fascinating &C.:
cessOries.

Elaborate tucking in yoke effect
serves to perfect the fit of many a

Trailing skirts shortened imme-

Red is struggling hard, and success
fully, too, to compete with it's less bril-

shade that few are bold enough to at
tempt it. When it is becoming there
is really nothing lovelier: and, strange

BY WAY OF SUGGESTION.

Don't put celery on ice without q
wrapping of wet cloth and paper.
Cool rain water and soda will re-
move machine grease from washable
fabrics.
Wash windows with ammonia, hot
water and a sponge, and dry with old
newspapers.
If you can get some cedar dust,
sprinkle it on your stove while cook
ing vegetables that have a strong
odor. ':-..
Kerosene will soften boots or shoes
that may have been hardened by water,
and render them as pliable as new.
To keep hardwood floors smooth and
clean, rub with waste and warm par
affine oil and polish with dry waste.
Brick dust is fine thing with which
to clean agateware. It is less expefl-
sive than other articles sold for such
purposes, and far more effectual.
When your wiping towels begin to
get thin. double them and quilt them
onthe machine. They make soft cloths
for washing china and silver.
To stone zaisins Keep the fingers
moistened with cold water, and the
seeds will not cling. Some people pre-
fer to pour boiling water over the
raj sins and let stand short time, when
the seeds are easily pinched out.

numbers Of Chinese through San Fran

giving bond Of $500 for each that he
or she will return to China within 30
days after the close OF the. exposition
Very few of the imported slaves will
ever return, and each of them is worth
more than the $500 it cost his or her

A wouan,s Worst FAINT.

There are many situations in life
that are pretty hard to bear, and
which, at times, tax all our endur-
ance, but they are never improved by
either display of temper or the in
diligence of a TRADE of which we are
heartily ashamed after the heat of
passion has cooled off The one who
keeps cool in any argument or dis
agreement of any kind always emerges
at the winning end of the game. The
woman who rules her household
through ler temper and the fear of
it which she inspires in others can
never hope to be loved. She may be
feared, and it is q thankless job to
Try to please her, but as for love
having no control over herself-she
cannot hope to control others.
A temper never improves with age.
If nursed and given way to when
young in life it gets worse and worse,
until those who love you heave a sigh
of relief when death comes as an
emancipation from the thralldom.
And yet even the worst temper can
be cured by thought and keeping a
strict watch over ones self One of
the most passionate women it was
possible to know cured herself by
leaving the room and counting one
hundred before she allowed herself to
speak. 1t is a simple method, but GER
tainlv officaciOuS given tha wish IN
cure that which wrecks many homes.
