\ BEAUTIFUL woman who leads a "A double life is the latest person of interest in Washington's smart set. The beautiful woman is Miss Harriet Richardson, and her double life is per fectIy proper as well as highly inter- esting.
 Three hours of each day she is Miss Richardson of the Smithsonian institl- tion, authority on the isopods of North America, one of the Who's Who's in the American Men of Science and with long string of degrees filling out the page after her name. The other 21 hours of the day she is Miss Harriet Richardson of Wyoming avenue, N. w., a society fayorite.
 Miss Richardson inherited a fortune from her father, C. E. F. Richardson, wealthy land holder. She is one of the most exquisitely dressed young women in Washington, a skilled horse woman, a globe trotter and an adept at bridge whist Her suitors are many and some have been ardent. But thus far suitors have been unable to tempt her-for there are the isopods.
 Her first deviation from society's beaten path came when she refused to be bud" going to Vassar instead.

BUTTONS SEEN ON EVERYTHING
Must Be Acknowledged Favorite Trim
 ming of the Season.

Buttons are a most favored trim tailored gowns and summer frocks, but upon the more elaborate evening costumes. They are ofttimes placed the full length of the clinging skirt at one side, in the center front or in the center back This line of buttons is a continuation of the button trim ming upon the bodice portion and is one of the little tricks employed to give the much-desired long -line-effect feet.
 There is ample opportunity for the enthusiastic needlewoman to make buttons which will prove a feature of her costume. An old-fashioned method was to embroider upon the covered button-mould a five-pointed star This requires time, but is very simple to make, and if the embroidery silk be in tone darker than the covering of the button, the effect is very hand some.
 Othere embroidered buttons have beads introduced. French knots as sist in the decoration of buttons Whole buttons are covered with sou tache braid
 Some buttons are slipped into little crocheted covers of embroidery silk.
 There is opportunity in the making of buttons to show great individual ity and taste.

Pretty Model for Stout Women.

Recently smart model in a coat suit was seen. It was made up from the bordered goods that would be be- coming to stout, elderly woman, pro- vided she were not too stout.
 The skirt was pleated in four groups with :he border forming the hem, and the coat was barely half length, cut into four points at the lower edge, breaking Up the straight line-an ex- cellent fashion for stout figures. This decorative portion of the material also trimmed the fronts of the coat, the cuffs and the neck. The sleeves were coat shaped.

OLO COLONIAL TOWN
HISTORIC GERMANTOWN TO GEL
 EERATE ITS FOUNDING.
One Building Surviving from RevoIu. ticnary Times Makes Reputation of Many Cities, But German
 town Has Hundreds Such.

rg.-Germantown, richer ID historic associations and colonial buildings than any other place in the United States, is to celebrate its found ing with exercises of national interest next October.
 The president of the United States will lay the cornerstone of a S40,0O0 monument in honor of those who set tied this present suburb of Philadel- phia; the battle of Germantown, which ragged all over the neighborhood, will be enacted, much of the sham conflict taking place in the buildings which actually saw the defeat of Washington in the heart breaking struggle in the log, and orators of national reputation will tell the glories of section that has been at the forefront of every patriotic movement in the last two centuries.
 In other parts of the United States the possession of one or two samples of genuine colonial architecture is considered a matter of congratulation. Pittsburg New York and Boston each have few; there are some scattered all over the south; Philadelphia, i'll the center of the city proper, has many buildings surviving from the time that tried mems souls; but Germantown has rows and rows of buildings dating back to the revolution, and even ante dating it.
 The entire length of the main street is lined with such structures, nor is their interest confined to the fact that they are old Many have been the scenes of incidents that are part of the treasured knowledge of every schoolboy who rejoices in the heroic achievements of the days that led to national independence
 The sham battle that is a part of the program will reproduce the clash of the colonists and the redcoats at historic Cliveden. sometimes known as the Chew mansion.

WIFE WON
Husband Finally Convinced.

Some men are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then gen. erous enough to give others the bene- fit of their experience.
 A very "conservative" Ills man, however, let his good wife find out for herself what a blessing Postum is to those who are distressed in many ways, by drinking coffee. The wife writes: <
 No slave in chains, 1t seemed to me, was more helpless than 1, coffee captive. Yet there were innumerable warnings-waking from a troubled sleep with feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, at- Jacks of palpitation of the heart that frightened me.
 Common sense, reason, and my better judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was so disarranged that my physician ordered no more coffee
 He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior sO ehio Oui laHiily tllCu OSluui, but disliked it, because, as we learned later, it was not made right
 Determined this time to give Post um a fair trial, I prepared it accord ing to directions on the pkg-that is, boiled it 15 minutes after boiling con- menced, obtaining dark brown liquid with rich snappy flavor similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but de- licious.
 Noting its beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it-all except my husband, who would not ad- init that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement is so apparent-you have such fine color-that I propose to give credit where credit is due And now we are coffee-slaves no longer"

YYNCI.E SAM is busy these days U counting house flies. He has started a sort of fly census for the pur- nose of ascertaining the relationship between the little buzzing pests and typhoid fever. It is believed by some agricultural department entomologists that flies do an awful lot towards spreading typhoid germs around-in fact. several of them have been caught with the goods
 The plan, thGusfore, is to catch the wicked little Its, count 'em, and --ampile lot of0data for comparison with statistics furnished by the health department as to the prevalence of typhoid fever in localities where cap lures are made.

Germantown was fought. Its thick walls formed an admirable fortress for the protection of a detachment of Brit ish soldiers, who, giving way to the advance of the colonists, were making their retreat down the main street into the town.
 Entrenched behind the heavy walls they poured a terrific fire into the ranks of the Americans.
 A dozen attempts were made to capture the house, but the British re- pulsed them all and the diversion was of invaluable advantage to the sorely pressed Britishers, since it gave them chance to reform their lines and wage new battle farther down the street at Market square.
 The Chew house, still standing, and still in the possession of the same fam fly, is battle scared from the con. fiict, but it is still a stanch old house, a fiawless example of true colonial architecture.
 Fartier down the street is another house that will figure largely in the celebration. It was once the execu- tive mansion of the United States, for it was from there that George Washington administered the affairs of the young republic when the yellow fever epidemic drove himself and his cabinet from the city
 The old house was built by David Deshler in 1772. From the hands of Deshler the homestead passed into the possession of Col Isaac Franks, who served in the continental army. When the yellow fever forced Wash irgton to seek residence outside of tEe citT he picked out the house of Franks as the place he wanted. and rented it.
 For three months it was the White House, then the Father of His Coun- try went back to the city proper. In 1894 the property passed into posses sion of the Perots, and on the death of Ellston Perot, in 1884, it was sold to Samuel B. Morris, in whose family it has remained without interruption ever since. The greatest effort has been made to maintain both interior and exterior in their original condi. tion
 This building is also associated with the battle of Germantown, for Gen. Howe, the British leader, had his headquarters here during part of the conflict.

Seasons Novelty.

One of the novelties of the season is a line of linen just inside the revers of jacket, which gives it clean and neat appearance that nothing else so small could possibly do. This is really very good idea and one that may be carried out in many attractive ways. For instance, if ones suit were plain black and looked too dark for the sea son, one might easily add little line of cerise or megneta, which would brighten the whole and take away that mourning look to which so many peo- pie object. Linen bands are especially used on suits for girls between 12 and 13 years.
