is bad enough to be ugly, or, as some
people say. plain but it's rather rub
bling it In for a mere man to tell us 1t
is a fault for which women should be
shut away or banished. But there Is
such an unfeeling creature, DR.. Oldfied,
who saws that 'ba auty is the heritage OF
every woman. but too often the woman
gives it for a mess OF pottage.' He con-
tnues: Women who ugly are so en-
trely through their own fault and the
fault generally is laZiness or selfshness-
Beauty. like all other good things is the
reward and crown of goodness and toll and
it is given only to those who work as we'll
as wait. Dyspepsia Is the curse of bea uty,
and good digestion is the secret Of bril-
liant complexion. In my opinion beauty is
within the reach OF every woman who will
work hard enough to gain it. Happiness is
an essential part of the good work bad
tempered fretful woman soon creates lines
and wrinkles and poses which are ugly,
and the oftener she gives way to her fault
In private the sooner will she lose her APP
parent beauty. woman grows older
sooner than a man because she frets over
her transient beauty. If a woman wishes
to be beautiful, let her conscientiously lay
before her a type of beauty which she
thinks IDEAL don't mean the Gibson girl
which at the moment Is every shopgirls
pose-and soon or late the plainness will
become instinct with charm and the god
dess of her ideal will emerge in glowing
beauty out of the old ugliness like the
glorious butterfly out of the repulsive
caterpillar With all due respect for the
above recipe, woman gowned in any OF
the costumes illustrated would come very
near being beauty, especially when wear
ing the stunning wrap of white broadcloth
trimmed with fancy black in a fine and
coarse design. The sleeves are original
with their braid klmono overportion and
underpuff of chiffon. The velvet suit Is a
beauty made smart with tabs and a panel
effect of braid on the full skirt and hip
length jacket.
Early Autumn Hats.
A charming hat just made for a youthful
beauty shows the old-time mushroom. but
Of large size The frame is covered with
black taffeta. drawn smoothly over the
brim and the underbrim Is covered with
copenhagen blue silk-a shade on delft
lines. but lighter and more dull. The I'M
der edge of the brim is also faced over.
The crown OF the hat is covered with
shrred black silk net and a wide triple
ruching of black lace, with its outer
edges describing small points. surrounds
the crown. The lace ruche does not stand
out evenly all around, the ruche itself, as
we'll as the points on its edge, standing out
in spiky form. The lace Is crisp and at
one side. near the front, huge white silk
and velvet rose, with pale green leaves, is
fastened. and from this tiny but rather
long rubber stems, showing tiny white buds
and green leaves, rise to a height Of per-
haps eight inches.
Made-Over Gowns.
People who take care of their clothes
and who take a pride in prolonging the life
of gown are those who have studied how
to make the most of an old dress. The wife
OF the President while by no means limited
in her wardrobe. nevertheless affords a
pleasant study to the women Of the cabinet.
Her gowns are always beautifully fresh in
spite of the fact that she Is compelled to
give them hard wear. And they are always
quite new in appearance. And this can
only be managed by a good knowledge of
how to care for ones wardrobe.
A gown Of gray wool wolfe which had be-
