early frosts, and the necessity of thick
er clothing. 1t has been decidedly an
uncomfortable summer. The rains
and ensuing dampness have made
everyone uncomfortable and mouldy,
Shoes left two days in a closet would
be covered with white mould" Every
doyly, II at all exposed to moisture,
would be widowed, thing unheard
OF heretofore. Tablecloths left in a
drawer until washday, invariably get
spots on them, and silk gowns hung
up, turned yellow.
The heat has been terrific, people
who never perspired before, yielding to
the excessive temperature.
The New England coast has had a
perfect inroad Of fogs, just like Eng
fish sea coast places
Altogether the summer of 1906 has
been failure in Pennsylvania, and we
will hope for an early autumn, and
crisp. cold winter.
The Plain Gown
We are threatened with the Dlain
gown. now green and gold plaid,
with gold line. or red and blue is
not bad, but these violet and white
ones, with brown lines thrown in in
discriminatory, are simply dreadful,
They are unbecoming. generally poor
in quality and always ugly.
The green and blue only pretty when
made up simply. with possibly brass
buttons. Maybe line of yellow satin
as a fold. but the other plaids are
usually horrible. For little girls they
are useful school frocks, but, for 9TH
er girls they are often atrocious.
For walking frock the blue and red
plaid pleated skirt is becoming to the
debutante. and waist made plain
with box pleats, then belt of bright
silk.
With this wear a handsome French
collar and cuffs, not homemade, but,
bought at good shop.
A black hat is correct. trimmed
plainly, but with wing or bird match
ing the plain in the frock.
Just at this season. it is hard to de-
fine the character of hat to use, but.
do not use the one you have travelled
in all summer, it is always disreput-
able and out of form, but some people
consider anything good enough for
anytime. once saw a fashionable
lady in Philadelphia at the theatre in
November with her summer hat on,
an abominable old straw, all out of
shape and battered to an excess. She
was the wife of prominent lawyer,
but considered her position sufficiently
noteworthy to do as she pleased. She
was certainly jeered at, and although
her name appeared on the roll of the
Colonial Danes, she presented sorry
spectacle.
Buy an inexpensive hat for October,
until the style for the winter is decid-
ed. but do not take your old summer
hat out of the trunk today and con-
slider it good style.
Another thing, have your summer
frocks cleaned, do not wear old gloves,
smelling of seashore and mountains,
until thoroughly cleansed.
The odor of the trunk hangs around
them, and, one in particularly obnox-
ious when appearing in the seashore
smelling frocks.

Blind Love

Love is blind"-By Some Old Poet.
There have been many funny things
that have occurred to me and others
which | have witnessed" said the ex-
tensive traveller, "but think possibly
the funniest was a little experience
l had In Paris.
1T was my first time there, and.
having a whole lot of American money.
| was made great deal of BY mar
quises, duchesses and all those kind
OF residents. They were continually
inviting me to their dinners and other
French free lunches, the names of
which don't remember.
Il got very chummy with a French
count. He was the goods all the way
through but, unfortunately, he was
stone blind. Still, when our hands
touched, and our voices sounded, there
seemed to be great affinity guess
that Is what 1t Is called-between us.
The count and l had many a fine time
together, and he always knew his
bearings. no matter how much can de
: vie or champagne water he had on
board.
But for all his faults. infirmities
and horrible companionship-in my
self-those Partisan ladies certainly
did take to the count. Blind as he
was, he could play and sing adorably.
and the way he could relate stories
about the valorous deeds of his an
cestors was worth the hearing. MANY
a time heard some swell lady remark
on the quiet, oh, couldn't one adore
the count so much. if he wasn't blind!'
Il missed the count for three
months. When saw hi magain he was
accompanied by a very attractive
young woman whom l recognized as
the maid of the Marchioness De Brie.
We greeted all around. The count
wore heavy green spectacles, but, of
course, he knew my voice. They were
on their way to the home of the mar
chioness, and later on | heard what
occurred.
Inc marchioness. assisted by the
maid explained she had met him at
fancy ball. She greeted cordially
the count, whom she remembered as
blind, and requested him to take
seat In her bOudOir. An unusual re-
quest, of course-but then he was
blind.
The marchioness, assisted by the
maid, executed all the mysteries of
her toilet, conversing with the count,
who, at the completion of the per-
Torrance: announced with perhaps an
unholy glee:
Yes, I have been over to London.

aract. Now, can see as we'll as any,
body And the poor marchioness, who
thought he couldn't see at all-all the
time she had been dressing-gave
shrek and rushed for her carriage.
"Of course / laughed when the
count told me this, but an idea occur
ing to me, asked:
How was it that the maid didn't
prevent you from going into the bor-
doir of the marchioness. She must
have known that you had recovered
your sight-and how the devil did You
happen to be with the maid, anyway
THE count roared. I'll tell YOU
he said. While Marie ana could not
see each other in my visits to the
marchioness. on many opportune oc-
casions we felt that there was a great
sympathy between us. We are to be
married next week, and want you
to be the best man.
