We are all creatures of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character Of
both. The root of all bad manners Is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for Others always
lags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that it disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep lip the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of us
that 1t will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.

LONG COATS IN FAVOR.
Directoire and Redingote Styles Are
Seen Everywhere.

Perhaps suggested by the cold
spring, long coats in directoire and
redingote styles are motel in many Of
the smartest models, and it is fore
gone conclusion that they will be one
of the chief features of the fall and
winter modes
In the heavy grass linens, these de-
signs are wonderfully distingue. Ere
quently they show clever combina-
tions of materials and have many odd
notes introduced. For example, old
blue linen of coarse, uneven weave
has long plain skirt, which just
touches the ground all around-an-
other French incongruity since coarse
linen is not a dressy fabric-and over
this a hree-quarter-length coat cut
on directoire lines. The fronts do
not meet, but are faced back their en-
tire length with rajah of the same
shade and a narrow vest OF Delft
embroidery inserted. The vest Is but
toned down the front with tiny, fancy
buttons; opens with little V at the
HeCh, anu Cuuo al lhO Iop VI Iho
rather wide girdle which is worn with
the skirt At either side of the vest
there are three large buttons similar
in design to those on the vest. The
sides of the coat skirt and the upper
sides of the sleeves are slashed, the
former to the hips, and the latter
nearly to the top, and embroidery like
that of the vest inserted. The two
edges are then strapped across with
loops of narrow blue soutache, with
tiny buttons fixing them. The French
back is extremely graceful, with a
very slight suggestion of the empire
in its cut, the suggestion accentuated
by three of the larger buttons at
either side.

r. HERE is one of set of business men
i in New York who have their estab-
lishments all ready for summer
whether that tickle season delays its
coming or not, and they spend all
sorts of money to do it. These are
hotel keepers and the owners of
apartment hotels. In readiness for the
straw hat and summer visitor season
they had veritable companies Of
housekeepers and under servants at
work before the real summer weather
made it's debut, changing the appear
ance Of the public and private rooms
of their establishments from the heavy
richness that goes with the winter
temperature TO one that comports
with the hot days Of July and August
These preparations include covering
all the heavy furniture in the sleeping
rooms and private parlors with thin
stuffs to make them look as cool as
possible; the taking down of thick
curtains and putting up thin ones;
and often of putting willow furniture
in some of the best rooms where the
prices warrant such an extensive
change. In all Of the public rooms

ment in Paris. A few weeks ago, for
instance, Mr.. Barnes gave to a few
footlight favorites a small breakfast
for which he cheerfully paid $1,000.
Last week he was the delighted host
at a little vaudeville cafe, the cost Of
which from three a. m. till six a. m.
was $500.
Another of Mr.. Barnes foibles is
the hiring of automobiles. He began
to indulge in that pastime by engag-
ing an auto by the hour. He kept the
machine one year, paying for it a
little more than $72 each day.
Mr.. Barnes said he bought the Hotel
Rand because he was dissatisfied with
the way hotels are run in New York.
81 think some of the rules and regu-
lations are fussy and silly" he de-
clared. IN addition the hotels are
not up to date. Finding that Mr..
Miner held similar sentiments, l
Joined him in the purchase of hotel
which we intended to make the finest
in New York. But that's only side
bet"

HOTELS PREPARED FOR
HOT SUMMER WEATHER

of the apartment hotels the hangings
are covered with linen, If they are
not removed entirely, the chairs and
sofas are also fitted with gayly COL
ored cretonnes and as final touch
even the piano is shrouded with a
covering so that no one can possibly
add to the nervous strain Of the hot
weather by playing on it.
But 1t Is in the largest hotels that
the amount of work done In prepar-
alton for the summer season in town
is most apparent. The public rooms.
and particularly those devoted to eat
ing, are changed about in a surprising
manner, a dining-room here being
closed entirely, another one being
transformed into lounge with wicker
chairs and tables where those who
come in to dine may have their coffee
served In surroundings even more airy
and cool than any regular dining
room can be. The regular furnishings
of the rooms for eating also enjoy a
change, particularly in respect to the
chairs, for every one of these that
has a touch of padding on it is rele-
gated to the storerooms, leaving only
ones with can seats and backs in use.

Dimities Ever Popular.

"My sprigged dimity," said the belle
of '76 to her tirewoman, when she
wanted to wear her daintiest frock.
For a hundred years and more the
dimities have been summer aristo-
crats-cool, fine, silky in texture, and
with patterns unmatched for distinc-
ton and daintiness. The weave never
has changed, it always has been the
perfection of best Irish work; but now
the makers have copied delicate
French floral patterns, striped effects,
and smart dots. This years patterns
cover a variety of styles never before
seen in dimities. The cool dark blues
and soft Dutch blues are specially ap-
preciated, and the lighter effects seem
more bewitching than ever. No mat
ter what the color or printed pattern,
the little cord should run up and down
and across the fabric in a score of
pretty ways-the dimity hallmark Of
distinction.

SMALL MANTLEs ARE CHIC.
Give Fine Air of Completeness to
the Costume.

There is no end to the charming
little mantles worn with gowns and
that complete the costume so per-
Ifectly. AS dress lingerie waists are
de rigueur they give a particular
charm to these lovely mantles when
ever they are put aside. A very at
tractive louisine silk costume on this
lorder, worn at recent wedding, was
ia French gray figured in white. The
skirt had three inset pipings of white
lsatin in a line group crossing like a
band, few inches from the bottom.
The smart mantle matched the skirt
and was draped into the figure over a
Atted foundation of white silk marce-
tine. In front, the drapery crossed,
leaving a v space filled in by the
lawn and lace of the lingerie blouse.
In the back, there was the same
CROSSED drapery, which in Dolman
style, formed the sleeves, the drapery
being tightly drawn at the crossing
close to the belt.

n LANS have been filed for the new
i city mansion, to be built by George
]. Gould on the northeast corner Of
Sixty-seventh street and Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Gould's house on the site Of the
proposed mansion will be torn down
at once. The building is to be 45x113
feet, and the plans provide for a six
story house. The entrance will be
upon Sixty-seventh street. The ar
chitect will try to reproduce as many
as possible of the rural features Of
Georgian court, the idea being to have
all the available atmosphere of coun-
try life.
At Georgian court the Goulds had a
great swimming pool. Their city
house will contain one which will ex-
ceed the size Of some in the largest
Turkish baths and clubhouses in New
York. The pool will be BOXES feet,

Little Touches of Hand Work Give
Distinction to the Garments-ln
White Handkerchief Linen
Hand Embroidered.

The four bodices shown in the ac-
companying cut are all excellent mod
els for the new linens or other sum-
mer materials of the unfigured vari-
ETY., each of these designs showing
touch of hand work which gives it de-
cided distinction. 1t must be admit
ted that even the simplest cotton
frock ornamented with some effective
hand embroidery or braiding has more
style and refinement than has usually
q more elaborate material, fusslly
trimmed with machine-made laces,
medallions, ETC., and so charming are
the new hand-embroidered summer
materials that it is well worth the
extra time required to do the work.
OF course, if one has the time and
{nclination to decorate ones own
gowns this use of hand embroidery
is really great saving, as with such
iornamentation very little other trim
ming in the form of lace and so forth
is necessary.
AS to a description of the waists pic
itured the first sketch was taken from
a frock of soft blue pongee, the
stitched bands used as trimming on
the bodice being embroidered with
ilozenges or large dots in a darker
shade of blue silk. The little vest was
embroidered in two shades, the whole
blouse being a sort of jumper worn
over guimpe of openwork batiste.
The second blouse was in white
handkerchief linen, hand-embroidered
in dots and scallops in pale blue wash
cotton.
The third design shows little cape
bolero cut in one with the sleeve. Pink
dinen was used for the model, the lit
tie coat and revers being trimmed
with white soutache braid and white
linen buttons. Eyelet embroidery was

MISS HULDA KUGHLER

There is a beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries a cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is a damper. to
all ioy and happiness when with her
family and friends.
1t is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; if her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there is
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness'
backache, headache, bearing down
pains. and irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,
she should remember that Lydia e.

made from native roots and herbs will
dispel all these troubles. By correct
