the displays in the windows of leading book shops. Books upon domestic science, the several departments of housekeeping, culinary hints and wrinkles, furniture. home decorations and the like are per slstently displayed; and the latest author ities on all of these and other kindred subjects are indicated by small placards eonspicuously placed. Gardening, too, seems to come in for a share of atten- ton; but there seems to be no room for anything else. If it were but one shop that made such a display, one might pass 1t without comment; but when some half a dozen, well spaced, all seem actuated by the same idea, IL affords food for thought.
 Water without and within" was the sole prescription of a fashionable physi- clan to n wealthy patient who came to him with q list of physical ills and ail- ments of ominous length. She could not sleep, she had no appetite, she was ner- yous and depressed, and so on ad infni- tum.
 As general thing, women do not ap- precate plain water as much as they should do. A sponge off in tepid-not cold--water when fatigued will prove more refreshing than anything else. A glass of cold water, not too cold. taken
  first thing in the morning will overcome many complexion ills. When nervous, a glass of plain water, slipped slowly, will prove calming. By the way, this same physician says that water. when drunk cold and quickly. acts as q depressant on the heart and nerves; when slipped slowly. 1t acts as q gentle stimulant.
 A gallon of water daily, taken in half pint doses. Is said to be absolutely neces- sary to health fin warm countries, and three quarts in the same period Is the prescription for these latitudes. The stout woman must plan to do her drinking be- tween meals, taking no fluids for half an hour before or an hour after meals; and her skinny sister may follow the same rule, but take even more fluids.
 In washing the face with soap and water one Is expected to rinse off in not less than four waters, making the last one as cold as possible and flashing 1t with both hands against the skin, so that a little shock of contact is induced. This will tend to harden both skin and muscles of the face, prevent, or at least forestall wrinkles by contracting the tiny pores on the surface and the nerves and muscles underneath.

The real lace mitten will undoubtedly become an imperative part of the au- tumn and winter brides wedding cos tune. Many of the most noted brides of the summertime followed this old-tlme fashion, much to the relief of the groom, the clergyman, the maid of honor and all generally concerned. That awkward pause while the bride surrenders her bouquet to the maid of honor and tugs at glove that Is, nine times out of ten, q size or so too small for her while the officiating clergyman Is waiting to put the all-important ring on her finger, is altogether obviated in the wearing of the lace mitten. With the short sleeve the lace arm covering is In better taste, es- peclally when one can secure lace to match that of the gown, and the fingers are free to receive the ring without any preliminary fuss or confusion. Many of the summers brides wore the mittens that their mothers wore at their we'd dings during the sixties and the early seventies, when real lace mittens, wells and parasol covers were part of every gentlewoman's rousseau, and those who have had to purchase them recently have had to pay a goodly price for similar ones.
 The lingerie craze has extended even to Things and dress shields These lat ter indispensibles are shown in the shops with frlling of narrow Valenciennes laces all around, the shopwoman some times explaining that in pinning the shields into summer waists tiny safety pins caught through the lace avert the possibility of piercing, and thereby ruin ing the shield itself Is avoided.
 Lingerie Things of the little coats, fash toned from silks of various kinds and en- riched with hand embrolderies, are of- fered. These are usually In sheer lawn or batlste and are trimmed with lace edgings, pleatlngs, insertions and the like. They are supposed to cover the rich brocade which makes the lining for all the new wraps and to be taken out and laundered as often as may be deemed necessary. tacklng stitch at the neck and in the armsze Is all that Is neces- sary to hold them in place when Ill wear.
 Jarretelles are shown with little fanci- full coverings of lawn and lace Tn place of the usual ribbon, and In many tn- stances this covering is slipped on over the ribbon casing that covers the elastic and saves the rich satin ribbon from soil.
 The little lingerie corset cover that just covers the corset and no more Is back again, and many of the best cor setieres furnish some four or six of such with each clients corset. fancy pin or two holds them in place, so that they may be instantly removed for the neces- sary visit to the laundry.

On some of the first crop of felt hats-mostiy of the outing patterns-a scarf is made to match the crayat and ceinture, thus bringing the entire outdoor costume into harmony.

Fine Flannels Again in Favor.

After quite n period of neglect the shirt maker is taking up those soft and fine 1annels once more. Recent importatlons show those goods In all of the dalntiest tlnts and patterns imaginable, and so far from being at all thick and heavy later productions well deserve to be described as chiffon fannels In many ways they are fully as light as an all-wool challis Is wont to be. The model Illustrated Is in a very pale blue flannel, with printing In sapphire tints and little spray showing a pale pink flower and green foliage. Deep peats occupy the shoulder seams, affording suffi cient width across the fronts. The underarm seams are deeply curved toward the walstline, and the pleats that adjust the fulness at the bell are cut away beneath, so that there Is DO undue bulk or clumsiness. The sleeve Is a single seam pattern, full throughout. and

run riot. Many of the most attractive ones are merely melange of laces, real where the purse will afford it. or as good y limitations, as may be where economy is an object. Not that machine-made laces are always inexpensive, there are some of them that are quite as costly as many real laces. Two, three and even four kinds of lace, if well selected, may enter into the construction of a simple little blouse, and, fin addition, an effective scrap or two of embroidery will not be amiss to accentuate the design.
 Handwork, wherever possible, Is to be preferred, although there are machines and attachments nowadays that make the work of the embroiderles seem slow and costly by comparison, and oftentimes if Is well nigh impossible to tell the one from the other. Transparent, or at the most semitransparent, materials are the preferred ones, and rnere are some charm- ing little slips in delicate colorings to he worn beneath One can purchase ready made slips in China silk for mere trihe, but the fastidious will much prefer to have such made from the chiffon double or chiffon cloth, as it is called--and just as carefully fitted to the figure as skilled dressmaker can manage
 The more expensive the blouse, the bet ter 1t clings to the figure. There is ab. solutely{ no. pulling or sagging nt the waist, no ''pouch" above the belt. in the latest French productions. In many of them the peats that are necessary to confine the fulness at the waist are made after the manner of darts and the materl- al cut away beneath so that every unnec- essary inch of bulk or bunchiness Is done away with.
 In all manner of waists the yoke Is mak- ing itself quite conspicuous. It appears in linen, in lace, in chiffon, in silk, and usnally 1t Is of the shallowest In the front and back and so built as to extend well over the sleeve seam on the shoul- ders, and so aid in the broad-shoulder line that is so fatterlng to the seeming size of ones waist

tie needlewoman discovers possibilities in many a piece that her employer would pass unnoticed, and the result is that the woman is envied by her acquaintances for the number, style and originality of her possessions in the separate waist line.
 The big shops, and the little ones, too, for that matter, are not showing the new waists as yet, except to a few favored customers. The stockrooms, however, are piled up with pieces of prettiness that will appeal tremendously later on. For one thing, there are some few little points in the construction of the new models that differ from what the summer season saw. Collars are higher, as though to emphasize the fact that the St. Cecilia, or Dutch neck, has been laid away with the summer suns and sunburn and freckles. Sleeves, as already noted, are noticeably long in the imported models, and there is quite marked difference in cut. The underarm seam is made to slope towards the front, and there is not nearly so much material at the waistline as the maker put into the summer models The effect is one that conforms far better to the new figure wherein the bust line Is accentuated, the waist made to seem smaller and rounder than 1t did in the preceding corset lines
 And speaking of the waist brings up the subject of belts. It is to be noted that all of the, best makers are furnish- ing their patrohs with belts to match the blouse. The order has gone forth that a long and slender waist Is to be the thing, and the ceinture to match the waist aids in creating this effect. Where the belt matches the skirt-a fashion that we have followed for unite sometime-the flg- ure is inevitably foreshortened,. no matter how much sloped and pointed or how cleverly the belt may be cut. But with the belt matching the waist, in color If not in material, just the opposite result Is achieved, and the figure made to look just so much tailed and more slender.
 In those dainty little blouses that are intended to express some degree of dressi- ness in their wear extravagance seems 10

 It is prophesied that the vogue of the pale pastel colors for taior-made wear Is to be enewed for winter wear. Last winter few of the fashionables sported tailor-mades in pale blue, faint rose shade and the Iightest possible terra cot ta, favor being distributed in about the order named. The off-color whites, too, are to be received in good company, and the faintest shades of gray and of lilac and lavender are to remain in standing. With furry accessories those delicately tinted costumes present an air of ex- travagance and dressiness in winter time, and with the short skirt that Is worn for street purposes they do not show soil as early in their career as might be expected.
 The craze for jewels and jewelry is on the increase. In Paris 1t is no longer considered in bad taste, or at all repre- hensible, to wear imitation jewels It must be conceded that the Parlslans ex- eel In the manufacture md mounting of those limitations. many of which are cal cuated to deceive any but an expert It must not be imagined, however, that such pieces are cheap or cheap looking. The settings are of gold or of platinum, and the mounting is done by skilled jew elers, so that. as far as the labor and skill are concerned, real jewels do not receive any better treatment
