W%ATERPRo0FlNG BOOTS.

EEt
I have for the last five years used
successfully a dressing for leather boots
and shoes, composed of oil and india
rubber, which keeps out moisture and
Is not injurious to the leather, leaving
1t soft and pliable. To repair this
dressing, heat in an iron vessel either
fish oil or castor oil. or even tallow, to
about two hundred and fifty degrees
Fahrenheit, then add, cut into small
pieces, ~vulcanized or raw india rubber
about one-ifth of the weight of the
oil, gradually stirring the same with a
wooden spatula until the rubber Is
completely dissolved in the oil; lastly.
to give 1t color, d a small amount of
printers ink. Pour Into a suitable ves-
sci and let cool. One or two applica-
lions of this is SUFFICIENT to thoroughly
waterproof a pair of boot or shoes for
a season. Boots or shoes thus dressed
will ake common sh~oe-blacking with
the greatest facility.-Scientlfic Ameri.

rt,s a Question.

For my part I do not think the time
la ripe for the female politician Suf-
frage means government, Or at least
amounts to the same thing, and / have
my doubts az to whether women would
succeed with their limited knowledge
OF politics half as well as men, whose
politics at best are imperfect, even with
their years of training. Men have been
laboring with the political question in
this country since the Puritans came
over In the Mayfiower, n 1t Is doubt
full If women who have only studied
the question of suffrage seriously with
in the last fifty years would do as well.
I am a strong believer in the old
fashioned idea that woman's sphere
is in the home, but / also have a great
deal of respect and admiration for
that large body of women who, through
force of circumstances, are forced into
the world to compete with men, be-
cause / am one of them, but I have
little sympathy with the woman who
aims to be a politician. Candidly,
think women will make better wives
and mothers than they ever will poll
ticians.

THE STOUT WOMAN
IN WHITE GOWNS,

All of madame's street suits for summer
wear are constructed on this model-that
is, skirt and loose coat, worn with no waist
underneath, says Harper's Bazaar, turning
Its editorial attention to the fat women's
dress problems. For morning wear, she
has a dainty suit of linen-gray and white
hairstripe. The muslin chemisettes worn
with this are either high or low In the
neck, and they extend down the front,
forming a narrow vest. The lace used as
trimming Is laid on fiat; loose pleats or let
in the skirt below the knee to give ease In
walking. and to give a flowing appear
ance to the lines of the skirt, which are
all perpendicular. Madame, knowing well
the charm which flowing garments lend
to her appearance. always appears In such
guise at home. For negligee wear this
summer, she has a gown Of fine white
batiste, trimmed with bias bands of pale
blue and English embroidery. The trim
ming of any of her gowns is invariably
fiat, and her house gowns trail. gracefully
all around.

WORDS FREQUENTLY MrsNAMED.

Following Henry James, John d. Barry
is now e~ndeavoring to help Harper,s Bazaar
to reform the careless speech of American
women. Mr.. Barry's suggestions are
eminently simple and practicable. He
says, among other things In the August
Bazaar:
I'VE constantly hear such m~ispronun-
Citations in the street, on the stage, and
even In the pulpit, as wen, wat, witch,
wife. w'ether. all creating an effect Of
commences, as well as of slovenliness. In
the case Of words ending in tie, on the
other hand, the tendency Is not to sup
press, but to add a vowel; We hear. for
example, gentul, littul. brittul, settul.
nessul. wressul, in the place of the more
delicate gentle, little, brittle, settle.
nestle, wrestle. The final ness tends to-
become nuss, and we hear darknuss. sick
puss, d~ulnuss, supplenuss. AS for the
inal ings, not only is the & clipped, with
the loss Of the syllable's resonance, beau
tiful In sound and useful in carry-powey.
but when 1t Is preceded by a syllable end
ing with a vowel, the two syllables are
merged into a mongrel diphthong. Being
becomes beeng; saying, saing; lying,
lying; crying, crying; sighting, syng. No
less unpleasant Is the tendency to shorten
vowel sounds that ought to be distinctly
prolonged, the fault that make Oft Of
ought, mott Of naught dotter of daughter,
waiter Of water, bolt of boat, colt OF coat.

DON'T COLOR THE HAIR.

The practise of coloring the hair Is an
exceedingly vulgar one and no woman in
her right senses will be guilty of 1t. But
there are innocent-minded butterflies who
like to take up new things only to discard
them in a day or a month, when tired OF
them.
A woman in society whose hair had just
begun to turn gray was able to shade her
hair in modish fashion by using a mixture
of henna Tea and peroxide of hydrogen.
A teaspoon of the peroxide was added to
the henna tea. which was weak. With a
long, slender brush she went over her
hair, giving 1t the delicately and highly
desired reddish tone at the roots. 1t was
a great success at first. but 1t grew out
and had to be done over again. And at
last accounts the woman was wretched In
spirit and trying to get back her original
color. 1t was too much trouble to keep
up the deception.
Women who can part the hail are wear
ing 1t In a big scalloped roll right back
from the sides of the face. It takes an
immense pompadour rat and the hair Is
rolled back in a great big roll so that the
ears are hidden under the roll and the
scallops.
It is an esthetic fad to let a lock or
two of the hair escape. This is scailoped
with the tongs and carried carelessly back
of the ear. OF course 1t blows loose and
must be put back with the fingers. The
lock escapes again and Its prettily seal
Hoped edge lies upon the cheek. And
again 1t Is put back. The little game goes
innoceptly on to the intense delight of all
concerned. The woman is made p~rettier
and the spectator falls in love with her.
The perfumed scallop is the latest thing.
The strongest of sweet violet perfumes
is used and the hair is moistened with It,
The full odor of the violet does not es-
cape until the hair is dried. Then 1t
comes out and scents the air. 1t is this
way with all violet perfume. You dc
not get the full benefit for an hour after
it is applied. It must dry before it sends
out its perfume,

WHEN BUYING GLOVES.

In buying gloves, that most important
adjunct to the outfit of a well-dressed
woman, take time to have them fitted
on.
Still better, have you hand meas
ured. and let them be made to order.
If you do not try them on In the shop
when purchasing. allow yourself a few
minutes time when o are at leisure,
and put them carefully on, stroking
and Strengthening every finger into
place.
If put on carelessly the first time and
worn that way, the gloves will remain
/ out Of shape as long as you ave them
Never pull your gloves off by the tips
of the fingers. Turn the wrist over
and work them Off the hand that way.
Shake. fold, and keep In tissue-paper
when not In use. Never buy gloves too
small; 1t is not pretty to see the hand
bound and crushed in a glove two or
three sizes smaller than the right one.

HATS AND TRIMMINGS.

The almost uni yersal adoption of now
ing trimmings at the back of the hat is
at last working a change in the hat itself,
says Harper's Bazaar. For that matter,
the new long veil is one of the. results of
1t. The long back brim. trailing almost
to the COLLAR. and worn. in some instances,
in the early summer without any trim
ming. has met with no real appreciation.
The hat with the short front. on the other
hand. is still in a state Of evolution. Even
the picture hat shows the influence of
the short brin. Those of the latest styie
round. and the wide ends are worn at
the side, while the shorter brims are for
the back and front. Some Of the smaller
hats are positively cropped in the front.
and others have the brim rolled up close
to the crown in a way that brings about
the same results in the consour Of the
head.

would She succeeds

What q chance this WOul0 nave Deen
for some of the women in this country
who think they are entitled to the bal
lot, to show their right to their claim
for equal suffrage. For my part !
wouldn't like to be the poor little Hun
Earian girl who has been forced to act
at the head of the municipality of even
so small a place as Kerisova. To me
the responsibility seems an awful thing,
and, Judging from the hard work men
have to succeed in politics, I would
think it a big undertaking for a
OF course there is q possible chance
tina women might make better poll
tfcians than men. Some claim that
politics governed by women would be
free from scandal and that graft would
be a thing unheard Jof. However true
his may be, I'm afraid I have but
little faith In woman as a public off,
cial. She doesn't quite appeal to me
as being able to gain the confidence of
men, and it is just a question IL other
women wouldn't find fault with her de-
cisions.
Just fancy the jealousy one woman
could create in a community by g
successful management of whatever
high office she might be elected to, for
there is nothing which excites jealousy
so much in women as to see another
oma succeed.
