cottage for the children of the noun
taineers. 1t is open during the season,
days, evenings and Sundays. Its
founder and supporter brought teach
ers from the Chicago institute to give
instruction.
Mrs. Blaine is one of the few wo-
men of great wealth who manage their
own financial affairs. This she has
always done. having offices in a down
town building where she spends many
hours and employs a very capable and
wide awake girl secretary. Cyrus Nc
Cormicks daughter has inherited her
share of his business ability as well as
his money.
What manner of citizen this remark
able woman is may be judged from one
incident in her life. A few years ago
she appeared before the assessment
board of Chicago and informed them
that her property had not been correct
much below what it should be, she de-
clared. and she thereupon fled with
them list of the full value of all her
believe it is the duty of the rich to
pay their share of the taxes
And yet, with this woman beyond
price living, moving and working in
the cause of public education in Chi
cago, nobody ever thought of securing
her for the board of education till
Mayor Dunno appointed her.
In the east at Roslyn, N. Y, that
other millionaire woman public school
trustee, Mrs. Clarence Mackay. has be-
gun her work in the same liberal, en-
thusiastic way as Mrs. Blaine did in
Chicago. LUCY MAY IRWIN.

educational problems the two. indeed,
being inseparably connected.
The generous lady's summer home is
in the Adirondacks. She saw the fine
old Adirondack mountain folk become
the servants of the rich summer cot
tagers and of the hotels. They ceased
to try to get their living in the rugged
ways to which they had been accus
toned before the advent of the sum-
mer boarder and cottager and became
in great measure mere hirelings and
dependents. The thought of this was
not to the liking of Mrs. Blaine. To
establish more of a corps spirit among
the mountain children, to make them
thoughtful and intelligent and capable,
she founded a summer school near her

smart one the other day made of ecru

Now is the time to think of making
fall shirt waist dresses. They may be
found in the shops already made" of
silk, but the average woman would be
glad of something little more service
able than taffeta and yet at the same
time just as smart To such I would
recommend wolfe, which is soft and ar
tistic and yet durable. If you do not
want silk lining choose wolfe which
is rather close in texture and have a
silk ruff1e at the bottom of your per-
caline slip.
A very pretty model has both waist
and skirt laid in fiat plaits, which are
held down with fancy stitching on the
shoulders and around the hips. There
is plain panel down the front of the
waist, as well as that of the skirt.
This would be very pretty carried
out in dark blue wolfe stitched in cherry
red, with a wide belt of red and blue
plaid silk.
The idea still seems to be that the
belt shall add a touch of color to the
costume, although it is not being made
so wide as formerly.
Sleeves for early fall wear are either
made elbow length or else with very
deep cuffs reaching to the elbow and
fastening snugly at the wrist with
small loops and buttons. The slouchy
shirt waist sleeve seems to be thing
of the past.
A great many long coats of cloth and
waterproof silk are being worn now
that entire dresses are such favorites.
Perhaps the most becoming of these are
made with wide shirred effect at the

driving costume than one of these coats
worn over a white serge or heavy linen
gown with little felt hat, also white,
trimmed with long chiffon veil.
The long chiffon wells, by the way,
are all the rage, not only for automo-
billing, but also for walking. A bright
rose pink tint seems the most fash
ionable at present. 1t is worn over a
sailor hat, the veil being wide enough
to cover both the hat and the face, and
the ends are crossed in the back and

and then coiled into a big loose knot
with one loop pulled up high. The
ends are rolled into three little up
standing curls close to the chignon.

TO DESTROY FLIES.

Poisonous compounds cannot be
used to destroy flies without dangers
but the following mixture is both eff
ficacious and safe: Thoroughly mix to-
gether one teaspoonfuI of black pep
per, two teaspoonfuls of moist sugar
and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Place
a little of this in a saucer where flies
abound. 1t is a good plan also to wash
the inside of window panes with a
weak solution of carbolic acid, for this
will prevent flies settling on them.
