Although the season for light typeA of hats is still somewhat ahead, very pretty toques are composed of nous seline and crepe, especially of those delicate shades of suede and wood now so fashionable. They are of En- pire or turban shape and rather large and quite low. Their sole trimming Is a huge rose, either pink or yellow. these being, as in the case of gray, the two best contrasting colors.
 There Is sometimes a self-colored ostrich plume as well, sweeping around one side of the toque and coiling or reposing on the opposite shoulder. Of such extreme length are these feathers in some cases that after falling over the side of the head they partially encircle and form protection to the throat.
 No limitations of fashion can over restrict the manner of my lady's cotf- fure. No two women seem impressed by the desire to dress their hair in the same form. Personal inclinations determine the style largely and dec | orations for the hair include every kind of fruit and flower. spangles. jewels, even to the diamond, and the always delightfully."- simple ribbon bow
 No matter how fine head of hair nature may have accorded, false curls are eagerly desired, and placed in positions more or less elegant on the crown of the head or the nape of the neck. When the curls are good they

Let us "'spect they growed."
 Parting the hair in the center is specially attractive to the mere mas culine, but should not be attempted unless nature has been generous, for thin parting is not . sweet sorrow. but sad sight. Better far the false fringe when we'll applied. sA am always tempted to wish wcA men would not color their hair, since l find, in this instance. at least. that nature knows best, and the wrinkles of time. or even the lines of middle age are less clearly marked under the influence of dull locks than bright ones. but this I know to be . gospel which there is no use in preaching. and the fancy for red or gold hair ob- tains perennially in the breast oe lovely, if unreasonable, woman

 Many of the Paris models now on exhibition for the first time are show ing this peculiar shoulder and sleeve effect
 An interesting model from Drecoll, brought into this country within the month. is in this new effect. This model is a suit. with short jacket and very full, circular-cut skirt.
 The jacket is very short Eton effect. with the body of the jacket and sleeve cut in one. which gives the very long and dropping shoulder. The sleeves are very short and fall in straight. full caps over an under. sleeve of tafetA

To those who have caught . lore gleam of the fashions of the coming season 1t is apparent that the Key note is to be simplicity. The very great simplicity which has for some time been the characteristic note of the tailor suit is gradually invading all descriptions of outdoor toilettes except those specially designed for visiting. weddings and fashionable gatherings.
 Afternoon walking dresses are trimmed to very moderate extent. Fabric trimmings and silk soutache. both self-colored, are more favored than any other sort of garniture. The dress is generally of princess cut, the skirt rather long, or merely touching { the ground, and frequently three uuarter-length semi-loose coat of the same material serves to complete the attire
 But in the evening 1t is totally diff ferent Never have toilettes been so handsomely trimmed, or of higher grade of material. To go back no fur ther than last winter, dresses were most voluminously and even over trimmed. This is no longer tho case, but the type of adornment f richer and more artistic.
 The ready-made dress an4 costume
 in silk, voile chiffon and washable ! materials is giving strong indications
 of becoming popular.
 The use of the novelty striped fab

I don't believe many will ask her-Im afraid they won't-and if you would. even only once, it would kind of make up for''-he faltered-"for out there," he finished, nodding his head in the direc- ton of the gate.
 If Eugene vouchsafed any reply it was lost in loud, shrill cry from above, as q small, intensely nervous looking woman in blue silk ran half way down the stairs to meet him and caught him tearfully in her arms.
 Dear old materw said Eugene. Joe went out of the front door quickly.

present appearances the success of stripes is assured. Combinations of silk and cloth are noted. and these bid fair to be 8 strong factor this coming season.
 Many beautiful costumes are seen in the new striped chiffons. The black and white brown and white. and navy blue and white are in about equal favor. These printed chinons are also seen in border designs. the Pompadour, as well as the Persian patterns, being used in some of the most attractive models.
 The most striking novelty in the costumes is the introduction of what is known as the Japanese robe enect. This is distinct Paris novelty, which has been brought into some promi'

She curled her hair frizziiy. burning if here and there. with slate pencil heated over lamp chimney. and she placed above one ear three or four large artificial roses. taken from an old hat of her mothers. which she had found In a trunk in the storeroom. Possessing no slippers, she carefully blacked and polished her shoes. which had been clumsily resoled, and fasten- ed into the strings of each small rosettes of red ribbon. after which she practiced swinging the train of her skirt until she was proud of her ma nipulation of it.

Eugene turned toward her, wearing the sharp edge of a smile. Not re- moving his. eyes from her face, he pro duced with deliberation a flat silver box from pocket, took therefrom cigarette, replaced the box, extracted smaller silver box from another pock- ct. shook out of it fusee, slowly lit the cigarette-this in splendid si- lence. which he finally broke to say languidly, but with particular distinct ness:
 'sAriel Tabor, go home"
 The girls teeth stopped chattering, her lips remaining parted; she shook the hair out of her eyes and stared at him as if she did not understand, but Joe Louden, who had picked up the banjo case obediently, burst into cheerful laughter.
 That's it, Gene" he cried gayly. ssThat's the way to talk to her!.'
 ..stow it, you young cub,' replied Eugene, not turning to him. Do you think Pm trying to be amusing?"
 T don't know what you mean by stow it." Joe began, "but if'-
 II mean" interrupted the other, not relaxing his faintly smiling stare at the girl-"I mean that Ariel Tabor is to 20 home. Really we can't have this kind of thing occurring upon our front lawn!'
 The flush upon her wet cheeks deep ened and became dark. Even her arm grew redder as she gazed back at him. In his eyes was patent his complete realization of the figure she cut, of this bare arm, of the strewn hair, of the fallen stocking, of the ragged shoulder of her blouse, of her patched short skirt, of the whole disheveled little fig ure. He was the master of the house and he was sending her home as i'll be- hayed children are sent home by neighbors.
 The immobile, amused superiority oi this proprietor of silver boxes. this wearer of strange and brilliant gar ments, became slightly intensified as he pointed to the fallen sleeve, rag of red and snow. lying near her feet.
 You might take that with you?" ht said interrogatively.
 Her gaze had not wavered in meet ing his, but at this her eyelashes be gan to wink uncontrollably, her chiI to tremble. She bent over the sleev' and picked it up before Joe Louden who had started toward her. could d 1t for her. Then turning, her head stil bent so that her face was hidden iron both of them, she ran out of the gate.
 Ariel ran along the fence until sh came to the next gate, which opene upon walk leading to shabby, me andering old house of one story, with very long, low porch, once painte white, running the full length of tn front. Ariel sprang upon the pore and disappeared within the house.
 Joe stood looking after her, his eyt lashes winking as had hers. "1o oughtn't to have treated her that way, he said huskily.
 "Pick up that banjo case again an come on," commanded Mir. Bantry tar ly. "where's the mater?'
 Joe stared at him. 'Where's whatT'

In England much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities in a new method of pre- serving four by means of compensation, With hydraulic pressure apparatus the four is squeezed into the form of bricks. and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure deJ stroys all forms of larval life. thus pre- serving the flour from the ravages of Insects. while it is equally secure from mold. Three hundred pounds of com- pressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of -four in the ordinary state.
