Three bands were on the streets Tues
day-Paync's Second Rcgt. Band. the
Mission Field Band of Boston and the
Bath musicians. There was something
doing all the time in the way Of pound
ing air waves into delightful harmonies.
After serenading the crowds in Gus
tom House Square the Mission Band
filled two big special trolley cars for 4
ride about the city, playing at various
points.
This mission band is composed of the
Mission church. RoNbury, boys who arc
trained into able artists. Their fife and
drum performance was martially en-
thusing and inspiration was added by
the trumpeteers. They sing some, too.
When the whole band of 100 pieces is
in full flare and blast, it is lifting! It's
pealer of a band. The boys came
down on one of the Boston boats that
brought down additional thousands,
and their coltishness prevented much
sleep of fellow voyagers. They didn't
do any sleeping themselves! Accom-
panied by their priest, they camp in the
St. Mary's Catholic parish house on
High street back of the church.

Bracelets for Slender Wrists.

Bracelets look well on delicate wrists,
but not on stout ones.
Pretty combs for the hair are an agree
able addition to the elderly woman's toilet.
Settings of bright stones should not be
chosen for everyday wear, as their
brilliancy only :erves as a contrast to
faded or gray hair. I . tortoise shell,
traced with faint gold filigree, is a safe
choice and much nicer than the plain
tortoise shell. unless such combs are very
handsome.
In choosing the umbrella the mounting
should receive especial attention. Man
nish or bizarre effects should be set aside,
and a handle, handsome rather than con-
Spicuous, must be chosen. Gold, silver
and gun metal are better than decorated
The covering may be black or any dark
shade preferred.
The handbag should be selected with the
same care. Black is always good choice
if. only one bag can be bought.
Dainty handkerchefS are every woman S
right no matter of what age. but the sem
sib.e elderly woman will prefer fine quail
ity to novel effects, and neat white en-
broideries to patches of color. The hand
same lace handkerchief is hers ny right,
but will not. of course, finish an ordinary
every day toilet.
Shoes should De fairly substantial, mod
crate as to the height of the heels, and,
above all, well fitting
House slippers will be of kid, black tan,
bronze and all shades of gray being ap-
propriate, the tops decorated with .ainty
beading rather than with very bright
looking buckles.

Dress Accessories.

Dainty accessories are a necessary part
of an elderly womans wardrobe. for they
do much toward providing a successful
toilet. For instance. the fluffy boa that
only serves as a decoration around the
girllsh neck-for she will probably be
quite pretty without it-supplies both
comfort and style for the middle-aged
woman. The choice of pretty belts is quite
important to the matron to the
maiden, and dainty neckwear is always
coveted end. Then. too. the well-dressed
elderly woman will be quite as fastidious
as in her youthful days, and the selection
of ordinary, everyday trinkets for per-
sonal adornment should be carefully con-
sidered.
Particular attention should he given the
choice of pettcoats, umbrellas and hand
or shopping bags.
OF course, no sensible middle-aged or
elderly woman will lay herself open to
rid;cule by aping juvenile styles and all
the fresh; bright, dainty coiorings that
are the right of youth. but there is no
reason why pretty things :hould he
eSchewed, for the elderly woman of to-
day is catered to sartorially the same as
the debutante.
In the choice of accessories. as in every
part of the wardrobe the type of woman
who will wear them is the first considera-
ton. Take the boa, for instance. The
ostrich feather will be becoming to every
type; the tall, large woman blonde or
brunette. who has been "dashing" in her
youth. will carry the fluffy, Sreeny cock
feather boa and muff most successfully.
The short, stout woman, or the sallow
thin figure will be only ridiculous in any
thing so striking.

them in the country. One attractive de-
sign is an orange wood stick with a
swans neck attached by gold ferrule,
the eyes of topaz. Another has for han
die the blue thrush Of the tropics. deli
cately carved in wood and colored.
Among others are a lobster claw in coral
and a hare's head with flattened ears, to
be selected according as the lady's pref
erence is for shooting or fishing.
There are also handles Of rock crystal
and others of tortoise she'll set off with
inlaid work in gold. There Is also the
plain cane of solid wild cherry, which has
no other ornament on its bent head than
small gold initials This Is probably the
most practical and most agreeable of all.
Pretty Antique Bag.
An antique wrist bag in rich Powered
silk with a hook and mounting in gold,
inlaid with real emeralds. has just been

skilled crochet worker, who took delight
in partly yelling the faded silk with sham

aids. reminding one Of verdant Erin.

Choice of BELTS.

Belts will be chosen in r, gard to the size

must be encircled by narrow belt, and
this, too, will be better if made of the
same color as the gown. Otherwise 1t
should be black. and preferably of elastic
The buckles may be as handsome as one
chooses.
Gloves should fit well. and as 1t ia pos

models there is no necessity for packing
fat fingers and pudgy hands into gloves
intended to cover long slender ones. with
the result that they bulge here and puff
out there. thereby only emphasizing their
unshapeliness. Thin women will find no
difficulty with gloves.

How to Wash Doeskin Gloves.

Nothing Is so economical for ordinary
wear as white doeskin gloves. for they
last well and wash almost unendingly,
but their success lies in the secret of care

warm water. not too warm. and gently
rubbed with primrose soap; take each
glove singly and soap it into a ball in the

shaking in the water. When the rlnsins

Bracelets Match Gloves.
1t takes a great many small f1xings to
make the fashionable girl complete this
winter. and among the actual require
ments are bracelets to match the gloves,
where a match is possible. and this is not
so difficult In this season Of matchable
jewelry. In the case of brown and tan
colored gloves a match Is easy, for there
are always gold bracelets, bangles and
clasps to match the gloves, no matter
what shade of brown or yellow they may
be. In the case of gown in heavy nick

in dull gray, and to these were matched
some bangles in gray silver. This is a

ish models would be most effective. One
smart style would be to gather the skirt

trimmed with ruff1es of ribbon. only very
slightly full. just ripple, so that the
appearance is light, each ruff1e graduating
in width, the one covering the hem being
three or four inches wide, the last one
about one inch in width. The ribbon
should be of the same shade as the net
and the ruffies ''set On quite a distance
apart.
The waist may be made with a guimpe
of ivory lace or dotted net, the yoke ln-
lined, the bodice In baby effect taken into

but are expensive in handsome designs.
Plain patterns. however. could be bought
and additions made by fancy stitches in
floss silk, using one color or as many as
preferred. Spangles might be used in this
decoration or gold thread that makes
brave showing. Any of this work is not
difficult.
Fabrics Used With Filet Lace.
Materials that combine prettily with
f1let lace are nets, wolfe, crepe de chine
and chiffon cloth.
Half dozen yards of handsome flet
lace will entirely transform a passe even
ing frock or trim a new one.
- Another good idea, supposing one has
an evening frock of any of the thinner
silks that is hopelessly old fashioned or is
beyond remodeling, would be to wash it
carefully, press and then cut 1t up to use
in trimming a frock of the fflet net. Of
this old goods one could make folds or lit
tie frills as wished, and black would be
quite as effective as a color.

asked what were his wife's favorite coll
ors. The man replied that they were light
blue and brown whereupon the jeweler
selected a La Valliere set with an aqua
marine, which he placed on a pad OF the
palest tint of blue, and another contain
ing topaz which he arranged on a pad
of a soft brown that brought out the ex-
