FALL MODES
 AND MATERIALS
Satins Popular for Formal Gowns-The Modified
 Sheath Skirt.

Hits on what the fall fabrics are to be like are already creeping into the shops, and in a month or six weeks many of the facts will be well known. That glossy-faced materials, with satins In the lead for elaborate occa- sions and satin-faced wools for day time use. will prevail there Is no doubt
 A great many checks, plads and stripes are to be employed, 1t is cer- tain, but In just what combihation of color there Is still doubt among the laity. Among some samples seen, which represented part of the buy CTS output for the coming season, it was evident that very supple but firm weaves, such as the broadcloths Ne- netian cloths, prunelas and serges, are to be in great request And it is said that enormous orders for velvets are putting the velvet manufacturers through their paces to keep up with l AAtli anu ktA Aiitlli lb intli ihNAIill'iH - before the season opens. The vogue for separate coats will have a salu- tary influence on the velvets for win ter, since nothing else combines so richly with cloth.
 | With the sheath skirt, which is likely to be modified but still close as to fit, one may rest assured that the | fvk Htttpx ttsttk ,ttr peplums will come out in velvet for | cloth skirts as soon as the weather permits Just now plain skirts and | plaid. striped or checked coats. or the reverse--plaid. checked or striped skirts with plain eoats-are one of the leading styles among tailor mades, and the mode Is not yet old enough change of seasons, Whatever the weave, in silk or wool, there is one i quality which Is common to all--sup- pleness and tendency to close tex ture. This bodes well for the per manence of the tight skirt, since a firm material Is needed to keep it In shape. That the petticoat will con l tlllNf ln Ittl IIlt tlldllbf lli NNl' lS N'i tain. but that 1t will be actually ban ished Is most improbable.

LINEN MARKING

Why mark sheets with ink in a hap hazard way? It is so easy to find a nice initial in newspapers or magazines which may be transferred to sheets with carbon paper and then traced with indelible ink Without the slight est cost and with little trouble a good and uniform marking may thus be pro- cured and if preferred. the letters thus marked may even be embroidered, In this day. when engraved headings are the rule, not the exception, letters for the whole name may be found, too. The new vertical handwriting has done so entirely away with the copper-plate Spencerian hand of long ago almost no one now writes a hand or can make letters which deserve to be perpetuated on household linen in either ink or fine stitches

NERVE VICTIMS

Women especially are victims of their nerves, that is if they will not give up work when nervousness is at the breaking point. If you are sewing and get extremely nervous, leave the work and go do something entirely dif- ferent. Get your mind from your work. If 1t is necessary to sit and write, avert the eyes and relieve the eye strain, Sit down when you iron hand kerchiefs or small articles. Some wo- men with angelic spirits will be ex- tremely cross if made very nervous, They don't want to be cross, yet they let their nerves rule them The only way to get rid of the nervous tension Is to avoid going too far in one direc- Iion.

REPAIR ECONOMY

A good tailor Is the best of friends to woman as well as man. A well groom ed man has always regarded his tailor in the same light as his laundress. a regular part of the weekly schedule, and sends away his clothing for clean ing. pressing and small repairs with the regularity of clockwork.
 As result, such men can wear their clothing till actual shabbiness sets in. Immaculate linen, polished shoes and neat clothing characterize the sex. and 1t seems strange that women, with their keen initiative powers. have not taken notice long ago.
 Tho powerful stitch in time Is the corner stone If economy. and those who need 1t most are the ones who ignore 1t. In the homes of the rich de- tails receive deal of attention, and In humble homes they are overlooked More than anything else. girls need tc to be trained 10 save pennies in the thousand ways known as repairs.

Girls suffer the most from the lack of exercse. Indeed, 1t Is the exception when girls above ten or eleven get any regular outdoor exercise. To this cause much of woman's III health has been traced. Most girls lungs are un- developed, which opens the door to a host of diseases, nervous even more than pulmonary. Prof Tyler gives some interesting facts as to the effect of gymnastics on girls lung capacities, He compares statistics of lung devel- opment of Nebraska girls and of girls from New York city school. where gymnastics are required daily Al the beginning of their school work the western girls lungs are one-hfth larg- CT than those of the city girls By the time both were eleven years old the city girl had caught up with tho coun- try girl, and at twelve or thirteen she had one-third more lung capacity Quite a remarkable showing! The value of increase lung power to the whole body is impossible to over-esti- mate.

IL is quite essential that one should take better care of the teeth in sum mer than in winter. The variety of food and drink has It's effect upon them. Fruits and vegetables with acids are apt to irritate the gums and the amount of cold drinks taken is likely to make the teeth sensitive. Therefore it behooves every one to look after the mouth in special way from now until October.
