Good Weather aud Fine Fashions

The weather man is Just behavinl
himself "too sweet for anything.
Those returning from the county
and each incoming tram is crowded
20 its limit with Sun-browned holi,
day makers-do not find the change
from mountain and seaside TO Got.
hams salty enyirons half as trying
as itmight have been. How a week,
even, out of town does help one
along! To break up existing condi.
tions for awhile is the best thing in
the world FOR ones health, and
general tone and temper Change
OF base brings change Of thought;
and change of thought takes the
excess Of fevered blood from the
brain which long continued routine
invariably produces.
All sorts of charming novelties in
the big stores await the home
corners. New Fall tailored hats are
already being worn by smart ladies
who like TO be on a front seat in the
modish world. They are severely
smart. Wings, flowers, and big,
bristling bows ornament many Of
them, The hats themselves are
composed Of ribbon or challie
strands, or fine felt, and they ct the
head closely. They are well tilted
over the face, and must be a, pre-
scribed angle to be 'it". To pro-
vide against individual vagaries in
putting on, fashion places bandeau
Just under the brim, so they can be
worn in one position only, and their
"catchy" effect preserved intact.
Violets are in great favor in
millinery. One big hat in plateau

a triple OF round cabbage rosebuds
on top OF the brim. Underneath
the brim are placed two tufts Of
violets.
The up-todate girl wears invisible
hair nets, which keep her coinure
neat, and all the little Glove locks"
and scolding "strands" in decorus,
yet fluffy order. These nets do away
with wells which, as all oculists can
tell, play sad havoc with women's
sigh;. There is knack in putting
on a net, which any clever girl can
soon master and maintain.
am advised by a lady reader of
this good Taper that several who
want to write to me regarding the
preparation for removing supernuous
hair from the face are confused at
to my address. They can direct
their letters to Sidney Earle { CHATS
mel") SO East I3oth Street, New
York. No one sees such letters
except myself. And when they
order this preparation, which comes
in powder form, and costs one dollar
for goodsized jar, send it post
age paid, in plain wrapper. Thus,
they can be assured that oil cor
respondence with me upon this sub.
ject IS held sacred. Ladies owe il
to themselves to look their prettiest
and daintiest at all times; and they
are unjust to themselves il they
allow any blemish to exist which
they can readily be rid Of.
Some Of the new gowns actually
snow little fortune IN buttons.
Lovely costumes displayed at Lord
& Taylor's are treated with buttons
in every imaginable size and shape,
and representing a bewilderiug var
iety of substances; metal, jewels,
glass, china, kid and crochet. The
most elaborate ones are Of white silk
kid with a shirrcd white chiffon
around the edge, or scalloped
edge Of silk, and are exquisitely
hand painted or embroidered, the
latter sometimes wrought IN baby
ribbon. Watch shaped buttons Of
china appear to be exquisite repro
ducuons Of coral. These show TO
great advantage on light or white
gowns. Fur or heavy cloth gar.
ments are closed with big, sub
stantial buttons Of metal, elaborate
ly chased or faceted, or otherwise
attraclively wrought.
A neat gown for young lady IS

skirt and blouse, and finished with
chemisette and cuffs Of white
batisie caught down by bands Of
rich lace.
Early Fall suits Of tailor make,
like the street hats, aie almost
severe in outline. Many rail- ma
terials arc plaided in the old.ime
decided patterns.
