PARIS MILLINERY.

Paris, Sept 15.-Every prognosti-

late autumn season points to the fact

LITTLE HINTS FOR

The cleaning of lace and net can be
accomplished in the following manner
Cover the lace with a good lathef Of
white soap. and let il soak for half an
hour i'm cold water. Then rinse ii i'm
hot water till the lace looks clean. Do
not rub il. but squeeze gently If the
lace is yellow. dip it again in soapsuds
and lay il out i'm the sun to bleach.
Rinse in fresh water and pin it on a
cloth to dry, taking care not to break
the meshes of the lace
The life Of a veil can be considera-
bly, prolonged by a little care i'm the
manner in which it is tfeated. Short
wells should never be knotted or tied
at the back. An equally efficacious
method of adjusting them is to twist
the two ends and tuck them under A

taken off when the hat is removed.

paper or cardboard is useful for the
purpose, the thick rolls with which
photographs are sent being frequently
used i'm this way.
Bent pieces of whalebone can be
strengthened by being placed i'm cold
water for two or three hours This will
make them pliable. They should then
be pressed under a heavy weight and
left for some time.
To whiten flannel which has become
yellow with age. one and a half pounds
of white soap should be dissolved i'm
about twelve gallons of soft water. to

ounce of spirits of ammonia. Place the
flannel articles i'm this solution. stir

be that the border of the skirt Will

Ivory ornaments or toilets articles
can be cleaned by the simple eXpedient
of brushing them with a stiff tooth
brush, which is not too new and
which is rubbed over first with soap.
The soap should then be washed off
carefully with lullewarm water and the
articles dried. They should then be
brushed with a soft brush until the
proper lustre appears. this being in
creased by pouring "a little alcohol on

A HUMAN HAIR FAMINE.

Now that the crops are being taken
in it appears that of all the harvests
in France the worst this year is the
human hair CROP The news is not
without interest to men; to women it
is of paramount Importance, since mil
liners have decreed that the hats of
the coming season, like those of the
summer. will require redundant locks
to set them off. And for these coils
and curls of hair We are all depending
on our coiffeurs.
Yet, indirectly, it is probably the Sc
ductive milliners of Paris who have
caused this failure in the hair crop.
For the merchants depend for their
supply on the peasants of the more re-
mote provinces of France-Brittany
the LimOusin and the Auvergne In
all these districts the women have from
time immemorial worn the pretty local
costumes, of which the headdress as
'cOiffe" plays a prominent part Be-
meath the cOiffe of lace or net all the
hair is tucked smoothly away out Of
sight, and it follows that the young
country girls attach very little import
ance to their hair.
Accordingly, when the "coupeur," or
cutter" as the agent of the hair mer-
chant is called, descended every. sum-
mer upon the market town at fair time
and established himself in a central po-
stion. announcing that he was pre-
pared to pay a good price for long
tresses of hair he found plenty of
clients. The "coupeur's'' whole stock
in trade is shears, scales and trunk
in which to pack the hair. Armed with
these articles, he stood and waited, and
in ordinary seasons there was a toler-
ably continuous defile of girls and wo-
men past his stall, and both shears and
scales were in constant requisition.
One of the nest centres for hair is
Limoges (which furnishes both fair and
dark hair, and attracts merchants from
all countries of Europe. With the
opening of the annual summer fair the
young girls of the district come from
miles round to do their years shop
ping at the tempting booths, and they
fall an easy prey to the hair buyer.
But the real cause for the reluctance
to sell on the part of the country bellies
is the demorilizing influence of lux
uriouS and snowy city clothes. The
smart milliner has much to answer for.
Her wonderful creations in tulle and
flowers, to be purchased for a few
francs or a few pence, have made the
country girl dissatisfied with the uni
formity of her costume-the pictur-
esque local costumes which has such
charm for travellers and artists.
The hairdresser has indeed fallen or
evil times. The converts are closed,
and one fruitful source of coils and
plaits of human hair is thus dried, for
France at least. Now the country girl
has failed him. France. which former
ly supplied the whole European mar
ket, will be forced to seek in other
lands the raw material for this branch
of her commerce. No wonder the hair
dresser is in despair. The demand for
false hair is greater than it has been

WHAT MEN ADMIRE
IN WOMEN

My wife has never ceased to be en-
tertaining," remarked the husband OF
one OF the plainest of women. man
may tire of a woman who bases her
charm upon fair complexion, a small
white hand or lustrous eyes. An ar
fist who loves only the truly beautiful
in life said Of his wife's hands that
bore the marks of useful labor that she
should be proud of them. So we may
conclude that the whole basis upon
which TO form standard for an ideal
wife rests upon the peculiar signifi-
canoe Of charm-not charm OF person.
but charm of presence. The woman
who makes smooth the way Of life
who is able TO adapt herself to the
moods of the sterner sex-will inevita
bly, be the woman who will never prove
dull. vapid or insignificant i'm the eyes
Of her lord and master. This quality
Of charm would eliminate from the
character OF the would-be possessor
all selfishness vanity and egOtismeand
establish a well developed. broad, gen.
eroLs nature instead To inculcate this
charm is well worth any girls while.
