Beauty's Bath Cap.

A bathing cap which actually i'm
proves the appearance of the wearer
Is certainly a novelty well worth de-
scribing. 1t is out this year, and no
longer does the summer girl dread
to add a waterproof cap to her bath
ing costume, for this new one is real
ly good looking. 1t is made in a very
novel way, being really a bathing
cap and handkerchief all in one. 1t
is made of waterproof material and
in a variety of colors and de-
signs. The inside OF this novel bath
ing headgear is in the form of a
round cap shirred to an elastic band.
The outside Of the cap has the effect
of a handkerchief, the ends of which
are drawn up to the front of the cap
and are there tied in a jaunty bow;
the ends are kept in place by a strap
which is just large enough to hold
them so that they do not slip after
tying.-Woman's Home Companion.

CoIors for Brunette.

Question; Kindly tell me colors
suitable to wear and how can wear
my hair. | am five feet two inches in
height, fair complexion, brown hair,
very long and thick, dark hazel eyes,
nineteen-inch waist, ~thirty-eight inch
hips and thirty.two inch bust.-Euph-
rosyne.
Answer: You can wear all shades
Of blue, also pale pink, dark red, all
the pastel shades of blue, pink and
green, deep gray, mauve, heliotrope,
silyer-blue, ivory crea mand black.
Golden brown may be worn, but
tans, fawns and putty colors should
be avoided.
In regard to becoming hair dress
ing, the shape of the face and fea-
lures decide this rather than the
quantity or quality of the hair. Color
enters the question, too. For instance,
fair hair is always prettier when
fluffy looking, dark hair more attrac.
tive when dressed smoothly; indeed,
what would be considered positively
untidy in dark hair would be only
charming were the hair light.
In regard to a becoming style, this
will depend upon whether your face
is oval or round, fat or thin. II oval,
then the hair may be dressed either
high or low, as fancy dictates. A
round face, especially II fat, should
have the hair dressed high and
puffed just moderately at the sides.
An oblong face will require the
hair to be dressed as low in the nape
of the neck as possible, or midway,
between there and the top Of the
head; the latter, however, should not
be attempted when the nose is a
prominent feature Of the face, be-
cause then the line will be too long
and so out Of proportion-from the
tip Of the nose to the twist Of the
hair.
A very thin face becomes the hair
puffed out as much as possible at the
sides and about the ears, and a very
short face should always have the
hair dressed in pompadour style

Women's Clubs Gain Ground.

The new political club in Dover
street.-the Ladies' Imperial-of which
the avowed object is to provide IAN
inexpensive central and convenient
rendezvous in London" for ladies be-
longing to the party who went out
into the wilderness at the last cleo
tion, is only one more of the luxurious
establishments which have sprung
up during the last ten years to allure
the oma from the hearth.
Yet Leigh Hunt predicted their
birth nearly half a century ago when
writing of mems clubs. "The lady,"
he says, sympathetically, "sits at
home and wonders whether female
clubs will ever come up"
He goes on to say that they may,
and with surprising liberality, con-
sidering the period in which he wrote,
rather hopes that they will. Not
that we apprehend any great injury
to the domesticities from these insti-
tutions," he writes. "Those who are
comfortable at home will like their
own houses the better for the variety;
and those who are not, had better,
for the sake of all parties, be else
where. London Chronicle.

Blouse Made at Home.

Watch for the remnants of the
pretty p~ale-tinted batistes, and of
these make separate blouses. For
these the prettiest way to combine
lace is to take an all-over valen-
ciennes. with a small design rather
widely scattered, so that one-quarter
yard will make about twelve medal
lions if cut with care. Basic these
between whatever tucking you may
indulge in, and embroider a vine or a
wreath Of small flowers around the
edge, then cut away the material be-
meath and a very dainty waist will
be the result; the cost and labor
both in reason.-Vogue.

Learn TO Forget.

"Do you think he cares for me-" is
the question the girl who writes to
problem" columns asks oftener than
any other.
AS a rule It means that the nan
has grown cold and careless in his
attentions, and that the girl cannot
bear to give him up. She clings to
the last ray of hope in the form OF
asking advice, trusting that somehow
the all-wise editor may be able to
console her.
It is sad to have to tell her to put
him out Of her mind, and yet it is
the wisest course for her to follow.
It is absolutely impossible to re-
kinGe the ashes Of a mans love. To
him the love is as dead as yester-
days seven thousand years"
With a woman it is different. She
may outgrow her love for a man, but
he will always stand apart from other
men, surrounded by a halo OF mem
DRY and tender regret.
To try and hold a man when he is
anxious to go is the greatest folly.
He will go, anyway, and she is a wise
girl who accepts the inevitable and
sends him away before he goes of his
own accord.
There is not a girl in a thousand
who cannot tell when a mans inter-
est in her begins to wane. 1t is nat
ural to make an effort to hold him,
but don't lose sight Of your pride
and dignity in the effort.
When there is another girl in the
case the effort is simply loves labor
lost.
The advice "try to forget him"
seems cold and unsympathetic. but it
is better to cut deep In the. first place
and avoid having to hurt a second
time.
Trying to forget Is weary, heart
breaking work, but It can be done,
and at least you will have the COM
fort of having saved your pride.
Some of you are throwing your
hearts away on men who are not
worth the sacrifice. They are the
men above all others to forget.
You think that it will break your
hearts to give them up, but hearts
don't break as easily as we some
times think they do.
We often mistake h~eartaches for
heartbreaks.
When your parents, your friends
and your W common sense tell you
that a man is unworthy, give him up.
Work hard, fill your mind with 9th
er interests, fight bravely and in
time you will conquer. Pride will
help you forget the man who has for
gotten you. 1t will be harder for you
to give up the man who, all unworthy
though he may be, still pleads for
your love. But you must let him go,
because sooner or later he will neg.
lect and wound you.
Some day the right man will come
along, and then you will be thankful
that you have not thrown your heart
away on the wrong one.-New Haven
Register.

Meaning of Moles.

A science or pseudo-science of
moles has existed among the Penn
sJlvania Dutch for many years.
According to this science, no one is
without a mole or two, and there are
some of the representations that
male wearers may draw from their
brown ornaments:
A mole on the right side of a mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck; on
the right side of a woman's forehead,
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of a mans fore
head a mole denotes a long term in
prison; on the left side of a woman's
forehead two husbands and a life Of
exile.
