BOCDOIR CHAT.

Women have gone IN for tucking and
faggotng frillmgs and stitches, and all
the rest Of it, and now the industrious
woman has the chance Of turning her
work to the advantage Of her summer
wardrobe Crochet belts, crochet lace
cdgings, crochet yokes, and crochet col
lars will all come in useful il only 4
good pattern be chosen, bearing well in
mind that they should resemble lace as
much as possible,
In the impatient mood we are apt TO
spend far more than is required in the
doing of our work, and this excess Is
lost, We cannot estimate the value Of
the power thus misplaced,
Reams Of advice are unloaded upon
woman telling, instructing and admon-
ishing her how to make home pleasant
so that the lord and master may find
comfort therein. So, then, why should
not some advice be given to the said
lord and master? For verify, there is
more than one Of them who make home
mighty unpleasant.
A woman Of Binghamton dreamed on
two nights that the postmaster was
beckoning her. On the third day she
determined to 90 to the postofiice, and
when she got there she was given a
letter in which she was told that she
had fallen heir to $500, 1t is said that
Binghamtonians have taken to early
bed going these nights.-Rochester

The American puffs her hair, some
times too elaborately; but she does not
expect to go to the coiffeur every other
day, and have her tresses arranged in
a set pattern. Some women do, of
course, but they are not in the majority.
Nor are such coffures generally adj
mired.
Although beauty doctors do not sing
the praises of hot water treatment for
the toilet there are many ways in
which this is invaluable. To drink a
bowl of it every night is splendid for
the digestion and warrants good
sleep and clear complexion. A bag of
hot water at ones feet when one has a
cold: to the back when it aches and to
the nape of the neck when one has a
headache or feels sleepless is one of the
best remedies.

Take More Sleep Than You Do.

Sir John Coclburn insists on the
need Of more sleep for everybody, He

only vacations that save the under

from ten to thirteen and half hours
is required for a child between five and
fourteen years, and from nine to ten
hours between the ages Of fourteen

THEATRE BOW.

We may Return to that old style OF
wearing a bow rather than hat to
the theatre. At any rate, such bows
are now being bought for the purpose
As a matter Of fact they are likely
to be as exactly as much in the way OF
the person sitting behind as the hat or
moderate size, the turban, for instance
And what is worse, no woman Will ex-
pect to remove mere bow upon re-
quest That they make an effective
headdress, however. there is no deny
ing.
On the head such an arrangement
looks like an Alsatian bow merely. II
is usually double or triple and rests
crosswise, appearing to the advantage
with a low coiffure.
OF the head it looks more like a bon
net. The bow rests on a stiff, fiat, OBJ
long with crescent tendencies. 1t is
two inches in width and fully seven in
length. 1t is paved with fat roses and
edged with a thick tllle pleating. In
this case it is all pink, roses, tulle and
bow.
There is no color limit, however. A
charming example is done in white
roses and white tulle with a dashing
black velvet bow.
Dainty blue, crushed raspberry, re-
seda and ivory, and any number of col
ors and color combinations serve In
these little affairs, which are in reality

Large patterns on a net or maline
ground are in better style than bor-
dered wells.
Light spats increase the apparent
size Of the feet, and white linen ones
will do this even more than soft cloth.
The latest thing is linen spats, to be
worn with tailored linen gowns. These
come in white and colors.
A great many suspender dresses have
been noticed among the new simple
gowns.
The linen parasols are new, and will
doubtless enjoy great popularity for a
time,
An example in these tip-tilted hats
is a charming little sailor in a rough
violet colored straw.
Monotone effects are most liked, but
often the pastilles offer a color con-
trast to the ground Of the veil.
Wings and quilts divide popularity
with flowers on hats. Sometimes qullls
and flowers are combined with good
effect
Great bargains may sometimes be
picked up in handmade French lingerie
Sometimes garments become soiled and
mussed, making their sale a little
doubtful. These are marked fairly low,
although handmade lingerie is never
cheap.
One of the surprises Of the fashion
show is the comparative rarity Of shirt
waist suits.
A ruby velvet hat with a wide and
very irregular brim is stylish. The
lines Of the brim are .wavy and are
curved sharply upwards in the back.
Gowns in shepherds checks in blue,
black, brown, mauve and red, With
white, are up to date.

WOMEN'S INFLUENCE
IN POTTERY MAKING.


Ever since the introduction of pot
terry making in connection with The
classes in china painting, there has
been Il noticeable increase in new and
daring designs in the various wares
offered for sale.
At an exclusive shop on the avenue
with q reputation for oddly beautiful
china and art ware 1t was learned that
most Of the stock was the product Of
the ART students work, and, fashioned,
for the most part, by young women.
Pottery making seems work particu-
larry adapted TO women, requiring as
It does, subtleness and delicacy Of
fancy, and extraordinary deftness Of
manipulation.
There are, however, so many rarc
schemes in color and decoration to be
found, even in the less expensive pot
tories. that it seems impossible to
conceive Of evolving anything more
that is unique and at the same time
pleasing. Nevertheless as a visit to
any one Of the city's classes will prove
conclusivcly, it is being done every
day. As for the ceramics in the shops
there are some rarely lovely things just
now, both foreign and domestic made.
Austrian TeplitZ, which comes in the
greatest variety Of forms and in an in
iinity Of richly colored decorations, is
attracting no end Of attention, one set
IN a certain collection Illustrates the
wandorings of Proserpine and the wait
ing of Ceres The edges of each piece
are lightly gilded and the figures are
in bronze, purple and mauve. Another
piece Of Teplitz represents Ben IIur
in a chariot. The chariot is Of white,
beautifully shaded at the bottom with
tints Of green.
Wcdgewood china, since being selected
for the White House set, has enjoyed
special vogue among fashionable folk,
and the fascinating Greek figures, with
their swirling draperles and graceful
curves, are given decided preference,
although medallion ornamentatlons
come in as close rivals.
Pratt ware is also in high favor. 1t
is Of a peculiar dark brown or bronze
color, with architectural effects for the
decorations Of its smooth, even surface.
Flemish pottery is quaint curious
and often grotesque. A jug standing
about two and half feet high shows
wriggly, scrpentlike creations half
hidden among tail grasses done in beau
tiful colorings Of greens, terra cottas
and brown shades.
The most exquisite results in color
and line work are obtainable in Doul-
ton ware, because it lends itself to a
finish much finer than do almost any
Of the others. Hungarian pottery re.
sembles somewhat n dark metal, and
the designs are worked out with much
precision and attention to detail,-New

1t Is estimated that before long, If
the present rate Of increase continues,
there will be one case of cancer in
every third Somerset household. The
last available returns show that among
the half million inhabitants of Somer-
set there were 45S cancer deaths in one
year, being about seven per cent, Of the
deaths from all causes.
In twenty years the rate has risen
from twenty to thirty-fom deaths in
the Taunton Union, from nine to sew
enteen in the Langport Union, fourteen
to eighteen at Chard, fourteen to twen-
ty-nine at Yeovll, six to ten at Wincan-
ton, and eight to tweny-one at Frome,
Dr. II. Page, medical officer Of health
for the borough Of Yeovil, interviewed,
said that he believed that the increase
was real, and not due merely to more
accurate diagnosis. No. special reason
could be assigned for the remarkable
ncrease.-London Mail.

THINGS WOMEN SHOULD KNOW

No man is ever really in love who
can say so with all the ease, ardOr and
eclat of a stage lover.
No man ever loved woman just be-
cause she was good,
The husband who never gives his
wife n decent word or a compliment
would knock down any other man who
would treat her in the same way.
The sincerest lovers are those who
are tongue-tied and don't know where
to put their feet,
There are two kinds Of courage-the
courage Of the limelight, which prompts
a nice young man in white ducks TO
jump overheard after a girls handRer-
chief, and the real courage that makes
a man face the horrors of fashionable
wedding, the torture Of meeting the
bills of a housekeeping apartment and
the agonies Of walking the floor all
night with the baby. The two are
seldom coupled in one young man.
A man is like a piece Of cloth war
ranted to wash--and matrlmony is the
laundry. 1t may improve him, give him
starch and freshen him up, or it may
take all the color out of him. You
have to take the chances,-Pittsburg

RAG CARPETS HIGH IN FAVOR.

Colonial danes, the genuine article
Of Colonial days, fine ladies and good
housewives Of old, would be amazed
at the vogue of the rag carpet Of today,
which was never before considered so
distinctly smart as now. The rag car
pet helps TO furnish summer bunga-
lows, mountain camps and seaside cot
tages. 1t is made into large rugs for
entire floors and into smaller ones to
20 over polished wood or filling. 1t is
to be found by the yard in various
widths.
Rag carpet, to he sure, goes by n
different name these days than form
crly, but as n "rag.style" carpet it is
still hit or miss and much Of n mys'
terry as in its early days 1t is more
often now, however, made up with an
idea Of the effect and different mater
ials are used to produce the desired
result. A charming rug Is made Of
outing and canton flannels. The warp
of the rug is white, while the wool is
in the outing flannel colors, The tones
are soft pink or pale green, with the
white canton flannel woven in for a

PEAR BLIGHT.

Professor Waite, the pear blight eX.
pert of the Department of Agricul-
turc, tells that certain definite results
have been secured in the investiga-
tion Of this disease, which If they
could be availed Of by fruit growers
would reduce raynges of this blight.
The disease however, is now under
stood to be transmitted from one tree
to another and from one orchard TO
another by insects; it is not done by
winds ms was formerly belived. Sur
rounding unaffected trees can b. saved,
If the affected ones can be deprived
of their transmitting power. the same
as a smallpox case can he quarantined,
and the community rendered safe. The
difficulty lies, in pear blight in the
fact that an entire neighborhood, once
affected at different points must be
treated en- masse. If a man has an
isolated orchard he will have no trou.
Die in controlling the disease.
After the severe cutting back nee
cssary when it is found that a tree
has the blight, MI Waite says that the
most important thing is the antlseptc
painting of the cut surfaces. Indiana
