Straw Hats at 4 Off
Masculine Modes.

The very latest fashionable vest Is of silk, and hand knitted. This being the de- cree of the month means that the girls will be pretty busy for the next few weeks. The new vest or walstcoat Is for summer use. It Is quite unlike the ordi- nary silk waistcoat. The colors are light and the groundwork either cream or white. The waistcoats have a very rich effect and they are very smart-too smart, perhaps, for the man who has a horror of anything but the very quietest dress There Is one thing to be said in their favor, however, and that is that they cannot be initiated. They are decidedly expensive If you have to buy one, and if you get one as a present you may appre- ciate 1t more, knowing that it cost a lot of money as well as work. At the seaside and at watering places generally no one will want a vest except for dress affairs fin the evening, perhaps. But even then there is nothing like being in the front rank of fashion.
 Bow ties are rather coming in again. The double collar set them back, but the popularity of the wing collar has once more brought the bow tie to the front. Nothing is heater than a bow with a. wing collar. But if you do wear a bow

This cottage without the basement and with shingled exterior is estimated to be built, exclusive of heating and plumb ing, for S3OOO. The design Is well adapt ed to a warm climate and with a good basement would be equally good for a eolds climate. The average size of the main floor, exclusive of the main piazza, is 32 by 30 feet the height of the stories feet and feet inches. One lead ing feature in this cottage different from many designs is the central entrance and hallway leading direct from front to rear and both doorways opening onto screened piazzas; this will be found to be very pleasing in warm weather, allowing free circulation of air through the center of the house.
 The large living room on the left IS cut of in octagonal form at the corners, giving fine outlook, plenty of sunshine and good ventilation. At the rear of this room and connecting with 1t through wide columned archway Is den alcove with seats on either side and windows at the rear, with central glazed doorway opening onto a screened porch; this fea- ture Is a very pretty device in connec- tiOn with the main living-roOm. The dining-r room opens at the right, opposite the liviug-roOm and connects through passageway with a kitchen at the rear. It has recessed china closet These two principal rooms and hallway are finished in Washington fir or hard pine stained and a good hardwood floor to correspond. The second floor comprises four good sized bed rooms, each one provided with a large clothes closet, the stairway of

 Beneficent Microbes.
 It seems unjust that viruIent micro organisms alone should attract the at- tention of the populace, and that the countless millions of really useful bac- teria should labor for the benefit of man. kind in undeserved obscurity. The most useful of bacterial allies are indeed those which act as universal scaYengers. As for the tactic acid bacillus. which pr. Eyere mentioned in connection with Metchnikoff's advocacy of sour milk as beverage, 1t Is hard to believe that many people will be found to prefer longevity fostered by a diet of curdled milk of the useful life-span maintained by the usual methods
 Common Causes of Insomnia.
 Insomnia Is not a disease itself, says Dr. William Stevens, but the effect of an unhealthy condition of body or mind. When the cause Is removed the Insomnia may be expected to disappear. Every physician has had stubborn cases of 1t which would not yield to any treatment. and for which d change of air or of scene became necessary. But such cases as these should not occur, and do occur only when the sufferer has neglected precau- tiOns that should have been taken when the first trouble made itself manifest.
 Insomnia results from causes which can be removed if attended to in season The most common cause Is found in the diges- tive organs. Either unsuitable food, caus- ing insomnia as a feature of indiges- tion, or insufficient food. causing the patient to be kept awake by hunger. There are few things that can be unl- versally recommended as diet for sleep lessness, since what will agree with one man will disagree with another. But two things that may almost always be recom- mended are lettuce and celery.

tie the opening of the waistcoat should be small.
 Many men complain of the set of their collars. This is really one's own fault. The majority of people buy their shirts and collars ready made. The proper thing to do If you want the collar to set well Is to buy them at the same place as your shirts. The collars will probably have been built by the shirtmaker to it such shirts. The bad set of collar is nearly always due to the shirts neckband. A simple thing to do when buying new collars Is to take an old collar with you, one that fits and is your fayOrite Then see that the new ones conform in shape and size and your difficulties will be Over- cOme'
 Pearl or gold studs are always the cor rect thing to wear with evening dress. The best and the most fastidiOus dressers wear plain gold or single pearl or white enamel studs and never a solitaire dia- mOnd or cOlored precious stone. A we'll dressed man goes very slow in the matter of wearing jeweled studs. Sometimes a small, neat turquoise is used, but dia- monds, rubles, sapphires and emeralds are too OstentatiOus to be in very good taste. It Is usual to have two stud holes in the dress shirt. though many men still stick to one.

Hygiene of the Nails.

Hygiene of the Nails.
 A moderately stlT brush and the use of warm water and soap will keep the nails in good condition. They may be polished occasionally with precipitated chalk, to which n very little carmine has been added. For removing dirt under heath the finger-nails. dull knife blade should be used. Ingrowing toenails may be avoided by trimming the nails squarely across at right angles. leaving the cor ners untrimmed and long enough to reach well beyond the folds of the skin on each side, so that the latter cannot be Injured by them.
 CnmphOr for Summer Colds.
 One of the most efficient remedies for breaking up a summer cold during it's earliest stage is camphor When the eyes begin to water and there Is the accompanying tingling of the nose and feeling of chilliness place three drops of comphor on a lump of loaf-sugar and place the sugar in the mouth. Repeat this every 15 minutes till four or five doses have been taken. At the same time place the feet where they may become thoroughly warm. This will us- ually prove eGectual in breaking up a cold If taken at the very beginning For a child but one drop should be placed upon the sugar, and five or six doses ad- ministered.
 Reading in Bed.
 Reading in bed, like most luXuries. can he overdone; in fact, there seems to be only one excuse for this fascinating way of ending the day. Certain people find that their worries accumulate in theiT brain after bedtime: their nerves are at high tension, and their minds are actively at work trying to solve problems that should have been left behind fin the city. Going to bed with the brain in such state means that, with nothing to dis tract the thoughts, hearing nothing and seeing nothing in the darkness. imagina- tion has full sway and hours of wake fulness may be the result. Such man will find a half-hOur's reading in bed
