AS rHE FASHIONS CHANGE.

1t seems that fashions move along In
the same manner as the seasons, and each
season finds hats. II not dresses, embracing
some of sthe seasons lowers. etc. with
the harvest season comes the becoming
hats trimmed with golden wheat. This Is
a dainty trimming which takes the place
of the grasses and long feathery plumage
worn during the earlier part of the sum
mer. The golden tinge Of the wheat COM
blnes nicely with Tuscan braid and makes
a neat hat for summer. Just now corn
flowers are used IN profusion for hat trim
mings, and look exceptionally well for gar
den hats. Feathers are still worn, though
lacy ribbons are fast taking their place,
the ribbons always matching the straw OF
the hat. This is a good style and is shown
In light picturesque looking hats.

THE NEWEST GOWNS.

The newest gowns seen among elegant
women do not have the long slope OF
All Japanese effects have dis
appeared, and sleeves reach to the thumbs.
Shirred unlined tulle or mousseline sleeves
covering the hand are finished at
tho shoulder with a smart little pufiing,
giving quite a narrow, high effect by con-
trast to the komono droop, says vogue.
Many are. the white gowns covered with
shawls or hugh searfs of colored chiffon,
plain. some with printed or painted
borders. Filet and Irish laces. mingled
with null embrolderies, still hold their
important place, and so many redingotes
and loose sacques of Irish lace are worn,
with fringes and passementeries,
that one gasps breathless at the costumes
of the apparel of a handful of women.

A MILLINERY IDEA.

The latest innovation wher millin-
cry is concerned is tina of black hops,
which are substituted for brilliantly
colored flowers, and a curious effect is
gained in the case of white hats
wreathed with these hops, which give
a mourning effect more potent even
than black ribbon or black flowers. In
some cases the hops are introduced on
Furnished mordore straws, and inter-
spersed with quantities of green foliage
and loops of black taffeta ribbon.

KITCHEN INDEX

Among the business office fittings are oak
boxes With index cards and a hundred file
cards, which cost ninety cents. They are
the best household filing arrangement to
be had. Many women use them for re-

removed and taken to the kitchen without
carrying the entire book along. When
new receipts are to be inserted new cards
are put into their right places.

THE PROPER CARE OF RINGS

Rings set with precious stones should
always be inspected from time to time to
ascertain If the gems are at all loose, espe-
cially in the case of claw settings. 1t is
also a good plan to wash them periodically
in warm soapsuds, to which a few drops
Of sal volatile have been added. an excep-
tion being made, however, in the case Of
turquoises. which should not be dampened.
In every case the claw settings should be
cleaned by means Of a wisp of blotting
paper rolled into the form of a shading
"stdmp" and worked into the interstices
so as to clear them of my accumuation Of

DIMPLEs AND BUSHES.

Dimples and bushes go together, and
blushing is largely a matter of practise.
The woman who keeps her skin healthy
will nave no trouble in blushing, but the
woman who lets her kin grow duh and
thick will find herself growing warm and
uncomfortable, but she cannot blush.
The complexion of the skin Is to be
studied. A pretty pink chin is charming,
and If the tips of her ears are also pink
It means a great deal in the beauty line.

WORTH TRYING.

Before mending stockings with ordinary
darning yarn It is a good plan to hold the
card or skein over the spout of a kettle of
boiling water. BY this means the steam
effectually shrinks the wool, and when
the mended stocking is sent to the wash
no fear need be entertained of the mended
portion shrinking away from or tearing
the surrounding part.

1t was a disreputable old cart, which
had evidently seen. hard usage, and
It's original color was lost beneath a
coat of dust and CRIME. The driver
was rather shabby, toe, as to clothes.
Tufts of hair poked through the holes
in his old felt hat, and there were
places in the rusty coat which were
hardly strong enough to hold together.
But there was nothing shabby about
the drivers face. 1t fairly shone with
good nature as he hummed and
whistled the tunes of the Southland
on his way up Market street. AMI on
the side of his wagon was tackled a
sign, originally a part of a popular
song advertisement, which read:
always keep them laughing
When you say good-by."
Pretty good philosophy, that! and
worth practising by more than that
old darkie, who deemed h phrase
well worth putting where all could
observe it.

Good-bys are always hard to say,
and why should you make them all
the harder by pulling a long face and
giving vent to dismal prophecies of
woe to come.
Isn't it much better to swallow the
lump in your throat and try to joke a
little?
There are enough sour countenances
in the world without adding yours to
the list. The world needs your smiles,
particularly when the smiles of others
are missing.
The next time you feel like signing
just change your mind and grin for all
you are worth. 1t may cen unnatural
at first, but after a while you'll get
used to it, and the grin will "ft your
face leaving no room for a woebe-
gone expression.
