It is always pretty warm here, and one sees a great many little dresses made of washable materials, especial ly in blue and old rose. A good many of them are made guimpe fashion. and then they are worn with white lin- gerie hats, ornamented with ribbon bows the color of the gown.
 On the hotel piazZas on warm morn- ings one sees nothing but white mus lin frocks, trimmed with embroidery and tiny valenciennes lace. Some of these are apparently made from robes, because they have elaborately paneled skirts. You would be surprised to know how many women are wearing the Dutch neck cut square without d collar. and of course, all the sleeves are caught up, so that they are very short.
 Nearly all the evening dresses seen at the hops are made princess fash ion. with no belt of ribbon to cut the figure in two. They are separate from their silk slips, so that these can be changed to give different effects.

 But no! This gentleman himself knows best the qualifications he most desires in life partner, and the sole measure of them is the ability to cook.
 She may be as ignorant as Hotten- tot. she may have the temper of Kan tippe and may shock his sense of refine ment forty times a day. Alice samee she knows how to cook.
 No less remarkable is this gentle mans modest summing up of his own distinguished qualifications for found ing a civilized home. The enlightened woman of today certainly demands that the man she honors with her hand shall be intelligent, refined and unfailingly courteous toward her; in brief, that, besides possessing the ordinary quali- ties considered requisite in a husband, he shall be one whom she will not be ashamed of when she takes him out, this at the very least.
 But our gentleman who wants a wife Is sure that all womankind will straightway jump for him when they learn that he Ifs of good appearance and owns a pretty home!" What a noble family tree these two will plant and rear together, tree whose leaves will shed rare perfume far and wide and among whose branches all that is best and highest In civilization may safely abide-this man who owns q pretty home and the woman who knows how to cook Tabitha Sourgrapes.

Food and Temperament.

According to a French medical jour nal. a diet consisting largely of pork will make a person pessimistic; beef, if eaten month after month. will make a man strong. energetic and audacious, while a mutton diet, if continued for any length of time. will make one mel ancholy. The person who eats much veal will gradually lose his energy and gayety. Eggs and milk used freely will make a woman healthy and viva cious; butter used too freely will make one phlegmatic and lazy; apples are ex- cellent for brain workers. and any one who has much intellectual work to do should eat very freely of apples Pota- toes, on the other hand, will make a person dull and inactive, while mustard is cited as a preservative of the mem. ory, even to an advanced age.

ONE MANS IDEA OF THE PERFECT
 WIFE.

The advertisement appeared to be quite serious. It was to the enect that "a gentleman of good appearance who owned a pretty little home" want ed . wife. He described the ideal of his dreams. The woman who could aspire to the position of wife to him must be young and good looking. one other was named. She must know how to cook. Young, good looking and know how to cook!
 Some men, especially American men, consider that to make the ideal wire a woman must have education and ln- tellieence. They would not like to spend their lives sitting three times a day opposite an ignoramus. Millions of the money that has contributed to woman's higher education have been given by men who reasoned that the more highly cultivated a woman Is in tef1ectually the better it win be for herself, her husband and the human race.
 In Europe it is conceded that the su- perior attraction of American girls Is largely that they know something and are not afraid to speak their minds Liberty and a liberal education have enhanced to a high degree the natural charm of their sex. They know how to be an intellectual companion to man as we'll as a tender sympathetic wife. One would think, therefore. that man who describes himself as gentle man" would mention that the woman he sought for his wife should be at least moderately well educated.
 But. no! None of that for our gen tIeman who makes known his desire for q life companion. She must just be ;, ,od looking and know how to cook that's all!
 Sociological experts are beginning to discover that wifehood and mother hood are a vocation of themselves. that, in fact, a considerable proportion of the wives and mothers in civiliza- tion ought never to have been married at all. They lack the infinite womaniy sympathy and tactfulness needed to manage both a husband and children. One would expect, therefore, that a gentleman" when he sought wife would look for a girl possessed of those especially feminine qualities of refine

 MONTGOMERY PROOF.
 Mrs. J. c. Rollins. wife of the weN- known contractor and carpenter of 719 Adams Street, says: MT. Rollins found Doans Kidney Pills to be a most ef- fective kidney regulator. He had been a sufferer with his back and kidneys for long time. Sometimes the attacks were very acute and the lameness through his loins made ii hard for him to get about to attend to his work. Be sides this, there was some trouble with the action of the kidneys. Doans Kid |ney Pills reached his case and acted just as 1t was represented they would. They relieved him of the backachc and corrected the other trouble"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-07-23

When the kidneys are sick there Is always . warning to tell you of 1t, and when the kidneys call for help there Is no time to lose. Kidney diseases are common and fatal-cause more deaths every year than any other human ills. But in nine cases out of ten this is due to neglect. Kidney disorders are easily contracted, but just as easily cured when treated properly and in time.
 Common causes of kidney troubles are colds. levers, exposure. strains on the back, blood -poisioning diseases, and in- dulgence in stimulants.
 The kidneys are the blood filters, and when they become sick. the blood is soon laden with impurities. which the kidneys have failed to remove. This causes backache, stin, lame, and sore muscles. aching joints. spells of dizzi- ness. headaches. rheumatic pains, sleep lessness. nervousness, and languor. weak heart and many other bodily aches and ills.
 Meanwhile the kidneys are fast breaking down, and from this cause the urine becomes discolored and full of sandy sediment; passages are too ire quent and often painful

 Outside the twilight grew into dark ness: the night wind and the rain beat in fitful gusts around the cor ners of the house and almost drowned the subdued murmur Of voices-their voices-in the library. She could hear now and then the voice of her father
 as if in protest. and occasionally the | lower tones of the other, then sud- denly to her surprise she heard and quickly recognized the hearty laugh of her father, and then his words were | lost in the roar of the wind.

CoIoriur Butterfie. by Hand

Dr. otto Seifert of New York is pro- ducing some remarkable results by ex- posing butterflies to heat and cold. In this way he has artihcially produced arctic and tropical forms of those in sects; and, yet more surprising, he has evolved in the same fashion ancient forms which may have lived tens of thousands of years ago, and butterflies of the future, so to say. which may exist thousands of years hence Though it sounds like d fairy tale, 1t Is all quite true.
 Of course says writer in The Sat- urday Evening Post, it is in the chrys- alis stage that the insects are subjected to treatment. They are put into the ice box pr into the hOt-boX for from thirty to d hundred hours, and then, be- in;s taken out. are permitted to under go their final transformation, whercup- on, of course, they appear as full fedged butterflies. By comparing them with ordinary butterflies of the same species it is easy 60 see what the ef- feet of the cold or the heat has been. Invariably. as Dr. Seifert has found, tn air colors gre made much more sub dued by the cold and much more vivid and brilliant by the heat.
 By exposing local New York butter flies to the treatment Dr Seifert har produced varieties such would bG appropriate to Manitoba or Mexico. ss indicated by their subdued or by ths" brilliant color!ng varieties that is - say. which have no actual existence in nature.

The season is decidedly waking up Automobiles spin along in every di- rection, filled with visions in pink, pale blue and lavender. The pale blue veil wound around under the chin is a great beautifier when one is scorch- ing along hot road, and the gray ish linen coat this year Is smarter than the pongee one.

 One does not see the combination of a thin waist with a linen skirt this year. The costume must match from head to foot.
 Without doubt the swellest thing down here is the costume all covered with eyelet embroidery worn by young ma tron. With this she has lingerie hat of the same eyelet embroidery and a parasol of linen similarly embellished.

 cream cheese and nut salad is ex- cellent. The cream cheese is rolled into little balls like butter and on each side Is applied one-half of an English walnut. Each ball is then placed on bed of lettuce.
 Muskmelons may be fixed in variety of ways-for instance. the tops can be cut off and the interiors filled with chopped nuts and whipped cream.
 Fruits may be crystallized by rolling them first In white of egg and then in powdered sugar and serving them ice cold.
 long lemonade glass may be filled with three or four kinds of chopped fruit thoroughly chilled and covered with whipped cream. This makes one of the most delicious of summer de- serts.
 Watermelon may be made twice as attractive if 1t is cut into fancy shapes with cake cutter before serving and put on bed of cracked ice in glass dish. After all, daintiness counts as much as anything else in preparing successful hot weather meals.
 There is almost revolution in the millinery world at present.

 The trouble Is that the short brimmed affair is wonderfully unkind to any woman who has passed her first youth. It exposes the eyes to the cruel glare of the sun and does not f1atter the complexion by throwing soft shadow over It. It is good news to hear that 1t is slowly but surely going out.

The Heart Disease Bogy.

Comparatively few people know that it is rare to find perfect heart beat. What Is termed 'palpitation Is an IT, regularity in the beat. It is most com monly caused hy some disturbance Of the digestion, by undue indulgence in tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol. by worry or by excitement Many persons, de tecting such an trrcgularity. think they have some serious disease of the heart that may end their life at any moment. Tihs is t grave mistake in double sense-frst, as to the fact itself, and. next. as tu the influence on the health of such morbid idea.
 Again. there iS a notion that heaft disease is a destructive process that the flesh Is affected in much the same manner as when the lungs are con- sumptive That is very seldom true The most serious disorders of the heart are quite different in their nature
 When a man or woman is under the impression that he or she has heart disease there is one obvious duty-to visit reliable doctor and have the heart examined and either have one fears sci at rest or receive such advice as will serve to remedy the condition.

The Sloppy Woman.

Some day l am going to write a book on the idiosyncrasies of wo- men, and one chapter is to be devoted to women who fall to pieces in pub lie. This Is the bright particular time of the year when you notice the lady of this description. Her shirt waist misses connection with her skirt, and she keeps pulling it and batting it surreptitiously. She wears long fluttering veil on her hat, and 1t keeps blowing up in front because she has not taken the pains to fasten it with a safety pin. She trip, up In her skirt and has to stop on d street corner to remove a section or two of ruffling, while her escort tries to look as If ne didn't belong to her.
 How many times does one see a man on his knees in the dust tying a girls shoe strings when any shoe maker will tell how 10 rasten them so that they will never come undone? And the girls who wear down trod- den heels and shed loose buttons as they walk. Many a man has been kept from proposing by a glimpse of ragged skirt or a pair of heels worn unevenly.
 l have seen a woman almost take her hair down and fix 1t over in her seat at the theatre. Running ones side combs through ones hair seems to be mere trifle. There are la dies dressings rooms. to be sure, if a woman wishes to rearrange her hair, but some women evidently prefer to dress themselves under the public eye.
 I have heard women complain of not being popular. when it was perfectly evident that they never made the slightest effort to become so. People AyHo 1 selfish people. and the unpopular wo- man Is nearly always the selfish one.

Ment in Summer.

An excellent authority says that a piece of meat one-half the size of ones hand is an ample daily quantity for d man, and vet some men persist in eat ing meat three times a day during this hot weather. What is the sense? There are vegetables just as nourishing and one-h half as heating. Take rice. for in stance, the staple food of the strenuous Japanese. Farmers in European coun- tries, too. are stronger than our men, and yet how often do they eat meat?
 One thing Is sure-meat should be abolished from the breakfast table dur ing hot weather. It ought to appear at only one meal. the principal one which should occur at night for the brain worker and in the middle of the day for the man who tolls with his hands.
 So many delightful dishes can be prepared with fruits and salads during the summer months. For instance, what Is more appetizing on a warm day than a dish of sliced Westphalia ham, tongue and chicken surrounded with a border of lettuce. onion and tomato salad. This could be for the principal
