FASHION NOTES.

~N%%~NN%%~

Bows of all sizes are in favor.
Pink and blue Vatican combinations
are frequent.
plated skirts are newer than
the Killed sort.
The skeleton bodice is about the best
name for it yet.
Serge seems to be the favorite ma
terial for tailor suits.
Soft, supple cloth is in great favor
for reception dresses.
Nobody claims that the modern
sleeve is thing of beauty.
Lace insertion and ribbon velvet
will be used for coffee coats.
The whitewash coat is to be the rage
only it won't always wash.
That trim town and country blouse
suggests good times out of doors.
Those new silk blouses cut like
mans negligee shirt are having a ire
mendous go.
Most Of the cloth dresses seen, of
tailor-made styles, are made very tight
over the hips.
Girdles may be wide in back and
narrow in front, or the other way
round, which is most becoming.
Silk is the reigning material, and
next to silk comes cashmere and voile,
plain and fancy follows suit.
Lilac blue, snuff brown, raspberry
red, gooseberry and ivy green are the
colors you want to ask for.
Only the very youthful or the very
Indifferent venture forth in one of the
severe regulation sailor hats.
Smart coats of light cloth and black
satin or glace will be much worn, and
the smartest boleros are those of either
black or white glace silk.

Marry the Man Who Smokes.

At a woman's club meeting in Chi
cago recently an elderly matron said
to a gathering of young girls: "Never.
on any account, think of marrying a
man who doesn't smoke. / have had
good deal of experience with men,
and l have found that nou-smokers are
invariably peevish, querulous, full of a
nervous ill-humor. Especially in the
evening, after dinner, when he should
be at his best, the Hon-smoker is hard
to put up with. The smoker, after din
ner, lights his cigar or his cigarette,
and at once falls into placid mood, a
happy, contented angelic mood. But
the non-smoker PAGES the floor restless
~, finds fault with this and that and
everything, and at word flies into a
nervous and hysterical rage.
Il am convinced that Providence in
tended men to smoke, and for that rea
son placed tobacco on the earth. With
the man who doesn't avail himself of
this kindly gift Of Providence there is
something wrong, there is much wrong.
and if you want to marry happily re-
ject every non-smoker who proposes
to YOU

The Col1arless Blouse.

The new lingerie blouses follow the
collarless style. Indeed, to such an
extent does this mode prevail that
many of them may be said to be al
most decollete. The square, or Dutch,
neck, as so many term it, is quite a
favorite, and the lace edges this sim
ply, no fullness or ruffiing appearing at
this point. Others are furnished with
q little chemisette to be tucked in when
desired; and undersleeves are often
made en- suite with this, so that the
low neck and half sleeve may be va
ried according to occasion or caprice.
The surplice mode is really quite a
temptation to dispense with the collar
altogether The line of the throat is
so exquisitely and yet so modestly dis
played in this connection that one does
not think at all of a decollete effect
when this is done.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Try a few drops of spirits of turpen-
tine on a cube of loaf sugar for hack
ing cough.
A half-hour's sleep after dinner is,
to many women, worth two hours
sleep in the morning.
For felon or "run-a-round'' use stra-
monium ointment-a preparation of
jimson or jamestown weed.
1t is said neuralgia of the face may
be quickly relieved by a mustard plas-
ter applied to the elbow.
Hold piece of ice to burned fin
ger until the smarting ceases and no
blister will form on the skin
If you are annoyed by an endless
succession of pimples take out of your
daily bill of fare pork and veal, all
fried foods and rich pastry. hot breads
and sweets and make point of eating
salads and greens"

Miss Gordon Cumming, of the we'll

Tibet she was the first European to

Miss H. NJ. Kingsley, Charles Kings

worthy foes. None ran away from
her and her party Some even attack
ed her. In this expedition the daunt-
less lady slew seven gorillas with her
own hand. Miss Kingsley, after her
gorilla hunt, assembled the Rembwe and
visited the Fangwes, a nation of con-
firmed cannibals.

the more grow the years of their practice

he say. when he saw her at her window,
with the looking glass sternly set back

short PRAYER, as genuine a prayer as was
ever tried. She was praying for bless
ing on this new adventure, and that all
might lead up to the glory of the King
dom; she besought TO be relieved at last
from her wearying fundamentally. Mr.
Sharp still had some little faith left, and
he did not scott at his sisters prayer, as
a man of low nature might have done.
Nevertheless he struck up with his
whip at the ivy round her bedroom win
dow, to impress the need of brevity; and
the lady, though shocked at the sugges-
ton of curtailment. did curtail immedi-
ately. In less than FIVE minutes she

Possibilities of Irrigation.

The United States government now
owns about 600,0O0,OO0 acres of vacant
land. OF this land the greater part is
arid. About 100000 acres are irri-
gated. There is water available for
G0,000,000 more. Most of this land al
ready irrigated is in Colorado and Cali
fornia. The cost to the government thus
far has been about So per acre for irri-
gated land. A considerable area can be
reclaimed at a cost no greater, but much
of the land will cost $50 or $50 when
provided with water. 1t is estimated that
if $500, 100000 were expended during
the next forty years in large and con
sfrtent scheme of irrigation. the lands
improved would be worth by the end of
that period, not less than S2,000000.00O

The Hair.

The hair is quickly affected by the
dirt that is blowing and must be kept
fresh and clean. To wash it oftener
than once month is an error that may
result in losing the greater part of it,
and this applies to hair that is oily as
well as to that which is dry. 1t is
possible, though, to brush out much of
the dust, getting a dry cleaning, as it
were. Those women who are not will
ing to spend money on this part of the
toilet can get the same effect by using
white corn meal as fine as can be
ground. Perfume, with a little orris
root, and rub a quantity of it dry into
the hair near to the scalp; massage
well and bring the powder through the
long part. Then, with a long fbered
brush, remove all the meal. This is
not a difficult thing to do if the brush
has long fibers. The strokes need not
be hard, and, indeed, should not be, or
the hair will be pulled out. The best
way of brushing is to hold the hair
out in one hand and brush through
each strand, beginning near the hand
and working down to the head.
