Let the girl who has silk or crepe de
chine frock in which three-fourths of the
material is even partially good, plan to
remodel 1t into a dress for home wear in
the evenings. First to be decided is whether
dyeing Is to be INDUCED in the garment
must be properly cleaned first. If of taf
feta or louisine cleansing fluid can be
used. For crepe de chine an ordinary
washing with very warm weather and ivory
suds Is in order, for crepe washes as readily
as cotton. After the cleansing is accom-
plished use the dye and when nearly dry
press with a fairly hot iron. Silks must
be dyed in boiling water to make the dye
permanent. Should one-color effect be
wished dye the net which Is suggested as
the trimmings to match, and also dye
whatever material you get to go under the
net fiounce at the same time. In order to
have enough for fresh sleeves and bolero
effect the silk skirt Is to have net founce
sixteen inches deep at front and twenty-one
at back, which is to be trimmed with dot
ted net ruffles. The silk can be cut away
beneath this and replaced by the newly
bought and dyed material The little ruff
f1es should lap over each other quite half
an inch and be graduated. as there is five
inches total difference in founce depth at
front and back. Each ruff1e when finished
is to be four and one-half inches deep at
front and six and One-Quarter deep at
back, the top fiounce having the addition
of an inch deep heading. The .ruffles are to
be edged with either tiny ruche or else a
narrow. selftone satin ribbon over Valen-
ciennes frill which just peeps out below.
This last is the prettiest and simplest way,
but the ruche is the least expensive. Be-
low the heading Of the top ruffie soft rib
bon can be caught, laying 1t In loop bows
at intervals. The bolero Is to be Of the
silk bordered by three tiny rufiles, like
those on skirt, with narrower ribbon be-

The Coronet Comb.
From the Taller.


Newest of hair-dressing accessories is the
coronet comb. 1t is of carved tortoisesheil
with outstanding pearls and points" the
comb proper being attached to the coronet
by a hinge which enables the teeth to be
pushed beneath the couture at right angles,
while the ornamental portion forms an ex-
ceedingly becoming coronet. which at the
same time gives firmness to the couture.
especially in cases where The empire knot Is
worn. Another good idea is the comb with
a cluster of curls attached, which Is in
tended to be affixed after the hat has been

which is frequently visible between the
head and the bandeau. This Is an admir-
able idea: II IL useful and certainly orna-

as dressmaker was Rhonberg. the son
of Bavarian peasant living in the neigh
borhood of Munich. One day in the month
of May a beautiful equipage was seen
driving about the streets of Paris with an
escutcheon in the shape of pair of cor
sets and an open pair of scissors in the
middle of the panel of each door. That
was Rhonbergs coat-of-arms. and it told
its own tale. He owed his success chiefly
to skill in Disgusting slight deformities and
in bringing out the most attractive charms
of his fair customers. He made great
fortune, and left his heirs an annual in
come of $1,000 francs. Under the first en-
pire Leroy was the court dressmaker, and
at his atelier in the Rue Richelieu he de-
signed dresses for the ladies of the court
and for many of the nobility.
But, to come back to our own days, the
very slight information that has leaked out
from behind the closed doors of up-to-date
sartorial princes is that empire modes are
still to dominate fashion in the fall, but
the period touch will be prominent mere
ly in the back of costumes, the teagown
front having disappeared entirely from
view. 1t is also limited that the empire

that good humor is one of the best articles
of dress one can wear in society Ii II
was true in his day Ii is doubly true now
Indeed. good humor is the only substitute
we will accept for that even greater gift
sense of humor-which in turn is only
second best to that of wit We all have
to acknowledge that in the social life 1t is
not the ugly or even the silly men and
women that are avoided, but the dull, the
prosy, the heavy, the people who can't
make joke or take one. Neither wealth,
rank nor reputation win make dull people
really welcome In society. And obviously
it was the same in the days when Thacke-
ray gave Vanity Fair to the world, for
was it. not the quick wit of Becky Sharp
that elevated her in ''sassity?"
I wonder whether your side of the
water the rented gown is an accepted
fact! Well, over here it exists as a re-
cent outcome of the community ideas reach
ing out into the realm of dress. A certain
madame conceived the notion of making up
costumes to rent to patrons of her estab
lishment, thereby increasing the size of
their wardrobes at a nominal cost. For

That this illustrious patient is most anem-

A Novelty.

One of the pretty ideas and necessities
Of the season is a glove clasp. The elbow
and full arm lengths have created demand
for this novel and garter-like adjunct to the
up-to-date woman's toilet. The glove clasp
is made of narrow silk or satin ribbon,
about three-quarters of an inch in width,
which is slipped on the arm near the top
of the glove. fastening with a pretty little
buskle of gold or silver. 1t is not intended
to be conspicuous, and matches the glove

1t is pity that the pretty, refined gaiety

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1. 1906.
In color white predominates this summer.
as was to be expected Nevertheless. many
we'll known ladies show a preference for
light shades of other colors, such as rose
and blue. These harmonious touches give an
air of "femininity'' to their wearers, and
they certainly add to the innovation of col
or and to the pleasant gayety which make
the reunions Of women so attractive to the
other sex.
Fashion has decided that the handker-
chief shall once more play a decorative
part in the scheme of a woman's attire.
Not only is it to be had in all manner Of
dainty colorings to match the gown, but
the minute squares of lace and cambria
which are tucked into the front Of the cor
sage are embroidered to match the broderie
on the gown, or even in some instances the
flowers in the hat. With gown of pale
yellow muslin. with which was worn
large hat Of white Paille d'1talie trimmed
with marguerites. the tiny handkerchief
which peeped out from the lace on the
bodice was OF pale yellow deliberately en-
brodered all over with design Of MARI
guertes cleverly executed by hand.
Among the novelties In headgear at the
present moment are the large mob caps"
fashioned of taffetas. which are simply
becoming to the majority of women and
are, besides cool and light the brims being
invariably lined with another color or with
lighter shade OF that of which the hat Is
made. AS matter of fact the fashion for
lining the new hats with colored silk Is to
be noted even in the case of the straw
hats. the favorite colors used in this con-
nection being pale pink and rose color,
while black hats have often lining of
white silk.
Very lovely schemes are carried out In
the embroidery designed to embellish the
light garden party gowns. The most eff
fective of these is exquisite broderie
of blue cornflowers on a gown Of white ba-
tiste. the cornf1owers, which are intro
duced on the front panel of the gown, being
carried round the hem well. The hat
designed to accompany the gown in ques-
ton Is of white rice straw trimmed with
shaded cornflowers of exaggerated size.
Marabout plumes are very popular and
chapeaux Of the moment. The vogue for
ostrich feathers dyed in a multiplicity of
different shades is however, still pro-
nounced, and these will be seen on numbers
of the new autumn models.
The yachting cap happily differs very lit
tie from season to season in shape. say
happily, because the lines upon which it is
designed have from the first been most
symmetrical and entirely becoming: more
over. the cap is SO nautical and trim that
1t suits the majority of faces extraordinar
lily well. But now and then the smart
tailors introduce slight variations that
mark cap Of this year from one OF last
years production.
This summer. as well as serge. drill and

SPIRITUAL CALM TO
FOLLOW GREAT STRIFE
Baba Bharati Expresses Belief That
the Conflict In the Orient vii!
Result in Rule by the King of
Peace

Baba Bharati delivered a sermon last
night in the temple of the Krishna
home. His subject was 1.-The Hasten
ing Saviour"
1.-THE title of tonight's talk" said the
speaker, may strike some as sensa-
tional. let what 1 mean by The
Fastening Saviour is the truth, and II
it causes sensation it is all the better.
only hope that the sensation will be
deep and abiding until the truth of 1t
is realized, is actualized, by the hap
pening of that happiest and greatest of
human events.
1--WE of the land of so many incafna-
tions of God, of the birtnland of count
less Saviours, we 'heathen' Hindoos
who are born Christians, live on the
thoughts of God, the doings of God, the
sacred careers of God in the human
flesh.
Worship and meditation of God is
our chief business of life. The very
first hours of our waking life are daily
devoted to his worship, to his medi-
tation, while the closing hours are de-
voted to divine philosophy, the philos-
ophy which tells us how to unfold the
God within us, which explains to us
how the different human manifesto
tions of God have revealed the differ
ent practical methods of developing
soul-consciousness; the philosophy
that gives us a glimpse into the proc
ess through which God incarnates in
flesh and into the science which deter
mines the time and need of that divine
advent on earth.
Speaks of krlshna
"And the greatest incarnation of
God, the fullest, Krishna, when he was
on earth. 5000 years ago, told us of the
laws Of this science which operates
back of his earthly birth, in his divine
discourse to Arjuna, his friend and
devotee in the battlefield of Kurukshe-
ira, the divine discourse which Sir Ed
win Arnold his translated into such ex-
quisite English verse called The Song
Celestial Therein Krishna says, in
chapter iV, verses and s: Whenever
virtue in man declines and vice is on
the ascendant, then / create for my
self human body to protect the good
and the righteous, for the destruction
of evil and the unrighteous, and to
again firmly establish virtue on earth:
thus am / born from age to age.
mo divine incornation's words, affir-
nations and assertions have been so
authoritative in the whole existence of
this earth as those of KriShna, for the
simple reason that he backed those
words, affirmations and assertions by
his deeds,-deeds which exhibited the
powers of the supreme God; deeds
whose effect on earth and on humanity
were of the greatest good.
"The Russo Japanese war is the
political herald of the spiritual peace
that is to come, the peace to be estab-
llshed between the east and west and
between warning nations by this king
of peace moving on the breast of
earth. The Russo-Japanese war is the
storm which will do the work of clear
ing the atmosphere of human con-
sciousness to usher in the spiritual
calm. And in the Goldman from whom
this blessed calm will radiate to en-
veope the world will commingle all
creeds, old and new, which are but the
misunderstood reflections of his very
essence-Love."

The lecturer then took up the events
coincident with the entrance Of Jesus
Into Jerusalem, the ovations with
public sentiment q few days later, the
so-called betrayal of Judas 1soariot, his
apprehension ana preliminary trial for
blaspheny at the house Of the high
priest, Caiaphas, and the conhrmat tion
of the death sentence by Plate. He
showed that the current accounts of
these events were contrary to Jewish
Jurisprudence and that the RESPONSE
bility for the crucifixion had not been
properly placed.
Life Of Mystery
Speaking of the death Of Christ, bur-
tai, resurrection and ascension, he said
that these accounts belonged to the
legends, lacking historical support. In
conclusion he said:
Casting q comprehensive glance
on the career of the man who has ex-
erclsed such a far-reaching influence
upon the world, we must come to the
conclusion that his life Is wrapped in
deep and profound mystery His re-
liglon, as taught by Paul, is indeed
great religion, and the pity is that
there are so few Christians among the
believers in his Christhood. Jew he
was by birth and education, Jew in
life and dying a Jew, yet his corelig-
ionists have suffered and are suffering
beyond the power of words to express.
"Rivers Of blood have been shed and
are being shed today In the land
of Christian Russia. Discriminat tion,
persecution and unreasonable hatred
have embittered the life Of the Jews
in all ages, climes and lands to this
day. even in this country, so that I
feel sure that if Jesus were to return
today and see what passes for the re-
ligion he meant to inculcate he would
either return to his spirit home, well
rid Of the misinterprnters of his doc
trine, or he would drive out of their
sanctuaries many of the would-be pious
upholders of his faith with vehemence
compared with which his fury at the
time he drove the money lenders out
of the temple at Jerusalem would ap-
pear as gentle reproof. Let us hope
for better days.
