Somewhere some wise person has
said, Fine clothes do not make a
lady," and If there is any one who
doubts the truth of the proverb they
might have had it verified had they
CHANGED to be riding on a main line
car late one night last week. 1t was
nearly midnight, and as the car cached
the junetion~of Clinton avenue, a hand
some woman entered. She was richly
attired, but there was a tri1e too much
gaudiness in her apparel to be called a
perfect color-scheme. In fact, she was
over dressed3
A young man entered the car a few
blocks further up Broad street, and
took the seat beside her because there
was no other place vacant. With the
sudden lurching of the car he jostled
her accidentally and turned to apollo
gize. His apologies and display OF good
manne were cut off abruptly, for
she turned on him with a torrent or
abuse, and when she had quite ex-
hausted her flow of denunciation. some
of which moi even a decent man would
use, she asked the embarrassed young
man what he thought she was.
He was quite equal to the occasion.
He stood with his hat IN MS manu. anu
told her, in quiet tones, that he wasn't
quite sure, but that he would venture a
guess only there were ladies present.
The woman asked for a Market street
transfer when she paid her fare, put
she did not wait to- reach the Foul
Corners before she alighted. h mans
reply evidently brought her to her
senses. No doubt she realized that
she had attracted disagreeable atten-
tion to her self, and decided to make
her escape as quickly as possible. At
least that is the opinion some of the
other passengers formed.
How very little it takes to prove Just
what a person really Is. Had that
woman accepted the mars apology and
allowed the matter to pass, no n on
that car would even have known that
she was o a woman of good breeding.

PLACING THE FURNITURE.

II will be found that If furniture is put
in certain places for some specific reason
the effect is generally good says the WASH

chairs should be placed where there Will

Ing room centre the attractions near the
windows. A table where magazines and
n~eedlework can be laid down should be
placed near a chair. not away off in a
corner where they have no value. Again,
tables should be selected that will not
topple over II any one passes quietly
through the room. Tiny tables covered
with ~knicknacks look pretty, but they
ere apt to be highly inconvenient. In FUR
nishing a bedroom we have fewer articles
to consider. The bureau must be where
the light Is good in the daytime, as we'll
as by artificial light. The bed should be
placed in such a way that the light will
not strike the eyes in the early morning.
This is not easy to arrange. as frequently
bedrooms have windows on two or more
sides. In such cases 1t is well to have an
extra shade of dark green on the window
that throws light on the bed.
Nowadays nobody that knows anything
about furnishings fastens the curtains with
loops. They should hang in soft, straight
folds. and the up-to-date woman sbortens
her curtains If they have been made in the
days when half a yard extra was allowed
for looping. Sash curtains still may be
looped back without breaking any rules
but manyNprefer them hanging straight in
front of the glass. selecting oaly the sheer
est materials, which will soften the light
but not obscure the view.
Happily the day is passing when three
or four curtains were thought necessary
to eclude both light and air. We never
need be afraid of plenty Of fresh air ant
sunshine entering our rooms; it is mucl
better to have a faded carpet than a musty

AS a matter of fact, the secret of prett,
bedroom furnishing lies in a~iriness, so t
speak, avoiding such faults as overcrowd
ing and heavy draperies.

TO ENJOY
A VACATION.

tory writes Anna Steese Richardson,

A TALK ABOUT
LINEN DRESSES.


Simplicity of the present styles is be-
coming more pronounced In the newest
fashions brought out in linen suits. The
idea Of a linen jacket suit a few years ago
would have met with derision from the
fashionable world, but this garment has
met with more than a kind reception. The
semi-fitted Jacket suit has been the dis
tinct New York fashion feature this sea-
son, and the coats are not short, but very
much on the order Of blazer coats with
open fronts finished with small lapels. In
all the linen coats the sleeves are long.
Seams are neatly finished, but no jacket Is
lined. These linen suits are very hand
some indeed, and they are worn by the
most fashionable dressers. Their begin
ming was for yachting suits, but they may
be used for almost any purpose except
dressy occasions,
Some of the liner dress skirts are tucked,
but the tucks are very wide and used In
panel effect. The jackets are plain Indeed.
Fashions have changed comparatively
little since Easter, and all modistes have
adhered to the styles then set forth with
comparatively few changes In jacket suit
styles. There is the trimmed Jacket suit,
even In linen material, but a dress of this
kind Is mostly for ceremonious occasions.
Often these gowns are very expensive,
since some Of the imported linens of a
new shade will cost 50 a yard, more than
many fine pieces Of cloth.
From good authority 1t is learned that
good linen does not shrink; 1t has more Of
a tendency to stretch. Inferior qualities
will shrink an inch or so after being made
and his Is one reason why a dress of
cheap material should be made larger than
the usual size, unless one prefers to shrink
the linen before having a garment made.

TRAVELLING IN SUMMER.

Whether a woman travel by steamer,
by train or in an auto, she is sure TO
find the comfortable coats and wraps and
the various luxuries offered of infinite
value. The day when we felt that we
must wear heavy material, tailor-made,
no matter what the thermometer might
register, belongs to the past. We have
learned better han all hat and we go
from place to place comfortably gowned,
yet with the least possible luggage, for we
wear lightweight materials prettily made
n slip over them thoroughly loose coats
or busters, although this last prosaio name
is far from suggesting their actual charm.
Thev are made from linen, from pongee
and from mohair, and even from some
glorihed cotton materials, but are always
smart in cut and In finish and are de-
signed to make the wearer appear at her
best quite as well as to protect the gown,
so that while they serve the essential and
practical part of the buster, they are
really very attractive wraps, thoroughly
comfortable at the same time. If beneath
them is worn one of the pretty suits of
pongee or of foulard with overwaist,
guimpe and a little coat, or other tiny
wrap, almost all conditions of a short
trip can be met with the least possible
luggage.
If the automobile has taught us moth
ing else it has instilled the lesson of
travelling Eight" for in the very order
of things it becomes essential to do.
It may be that trips of some sort require
wraps of a heavier kind, but for 1t are
provided the very serviceable, as well as
handsome, lightweight cloths similarly
made that a the added merit of being
shower proof, while almost every wise
woman who goes on a motoring tour tucks
away somewhere a rubberized coat of one
sort or another These are offered In
really beautiful materials, so that they
as well as the busters, have been pro-
NOTED. so to speak, from the merely useful
to the beautiful as well, but 1t is beauty
| combined with utility. and dark, rich, be-
coming colors are the ones most likely
to be chosen.
Whatever the material, the coats ar
almost universally made with the loos'
sleeves finished with rather close-httinl
cuffs in order to protect the wearer from
dust at that point, and are buttoned III
we'll, while they are provided with capa
cious pockets and are so ample that
really dainty gown can be worn unde
them II one is e n route for a social affair

linen. for the reason that the linen more
readily absorbs the albuminous serum in
burns and skin diseases of a moist eharac-
ter thus keeping the surface dry and
causing pain. 1t also. absorbs tho fatty
substances used in dressings, and thus
prevents their action on the skin.
The most perfect form will be unattrac-
tive unless the skin possesses that bright
ness. polish and cleanliness which ig It's
finishing touch.

He should he Excluded. Too.

49,
And hat is just the truth of the
matter.
Let the least breadth of scandal
touch a woman and her character is
blackened forever, her more decorous
sisters shun her, and even we, who
wonder at the state of affairs lest we
be thrown in the company with a
woman whose character Is questioned
or whose name is spoken lightly.
But why should this be? Why should
there be two sets of morals for men
and women? Why do we tolerate men
in our homes whose inner lives would
not bear inspection? Why do we as
sociate with them? Are they any bet
ter or more fit to associate with than
a woman whose company we would not
seek?
No 'one seems to know why we allow
those things to exist or why the world
in general will tolerate loose morals
in a man while 1t demands thai a
woman measure ,up to the standard In
the matter of character and reputation.
But 1t remains for women to bring
about the proper reform, and when
they refuse to meet men of question
able character as social equals, then
will they have advanced a step In the
right direction.
Mrs. Blatch's argument, to my mind,
Is a very good one. A man will always
be excused, no matter what his fault,
but when a woman is unfortunate
enough to make the same blunder 1t
is usually just such a man who VIII
be the first to hurl mud at her.
The hotel proprietor's argument was
q. little far-fetched. He owes 1t to his
own reputation as well as to his
patronage to keep out the objection
able man as we'll as the Objectionable
woman.

View Phase Of EquaI RIght..

Thinking men and women throughout
the country are watching with interest
the outcome of a lawsuit brought
against the proprietor of a well-known
New York hostelry by no less a person
than Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, the
daughter of the late Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, and herself a leading suffra-
gist and a clubwoman. Mrs Blatch was
refused the right to dine in the hotel
restaurant because she was unaccompa-
MED by a male escort. She claims that
she was Inundated by her experience,
but the main object of her suit, she
says, is for the purpose of establishing
the right of to dine in a public
restaurant if she so desires.
Does it not seem ridiculous to think
that in his enlightened age, and in a
cosmopolitan city like New York, a
woman who is known by sight TO nearly
every intelligent man and woman would
be elected from a public dining room
because she happened to be with an
other woman instead of a male escort?
1t seems as II the would-be reformers
were working at the wrong side.

dealing with the aged. She treats them
as though they were young. YET
she humors them and does not contradict
them. The first sign OF age comes when
a woman's opinions are irrevocably set
upon all subjects. This means that her
mind has grown old and age-pound. Ana

A Plausible Argument.

ut is a regulation of the house not to
serve ladies who are ~unescorted," the
proprietor Of the hotel is credited with
telling Mrs. Blatch. 1--WE do this to
keep out Objectionable women-women
of the type you would not like to have
dining In the same DON with you"
Mrs. Batch was quick enough to ask
this man who has the interest of his
female clientele so much at heart IL 1t
was also a rule to bar Objectionable
men. She also reminded him tina when
she was annoyed In public places 1t was
by men. and not by Objectionable
women.
In discussing the matter later h
said: Does it. not seem strange that a
woman whose respectability is apparent
may not satisfy her hunger, unless ac-
companied by a man, while men, no
matter what their characters may be,
are admitted anywhere"
