YELLOW IN FASHIONS FAVOR.
Color Scheme That Just Now ls I'm.
mensely Popular Among Partisan
Women of Fashion.

Paris turned emerald green a month
ago and then after poking around
among her metallic fabrics for an
other color scheme, she worked up a
perfect craze for yellow Her green
satin empire evening gown slipped
into the background when its place
was usurped by corn color and canary
in clinging fabrics. The topaz satins
fairly melted into the golden gauzes
so much affected as TUNES and trim
mings during the whole period of en-
pire fashions. Chamois color has been
popular and now among the more use
full materials one finds the browns
shading toward chevelure"-hair
brown-with always a touch Of gold
in it, "abeille," or bee, is the golden
yellow its name implies. The beige"
color of the present season is a yell
lowisIl sand color. Costume linen is
brought to us in burnt orange and in
the light, creamy yellows, which are
to be trimmed with black

About skirts.

Narrow skirts of thin materials,
such as crepe de chine, foulard or thin
satin, are faced on the inside at the
bottom with firm heavy satin, or even
thin cloth to give the necessary
weight and to prevent dragging about
the ankles in these petticoatless days.
This facing must be most carefully
and smoothly adjusted, however, or a
very clumsy look will be attained.
Even greater care should be employed

Removing Tarnish.

With the present rage for metal
lie fabrics, gold and silver laces, gilt
threads and tassels, tinsels, braids
and galloons there comes, necessarily,
the tarnish, as a sort of plague to be
wrestled with.
Says one dressmaker, referring to
the bronze coating that had over
spread some magnificent gold fabric
buttons: You can take the garment
In it's present condition for $3.50, or
we will renew the buttons and part
with it for $780,"
Silver braids all tarnish more rap
idly, and with less provocation, than
gold There is one home remedy for
this defect which will be found well
worth a trial A mixture Of three
parts powdered alum and one part
powdered baracic should be busted on
the gilt fabric and allowed to remain
there in a thin layer for several days.
This should be whisked off, and may
be repeated if the cure has not been
effected

HAVE B0LER0 IN NEW GUlSE.
Popular Garment Now Seems to Have
Taken The Form of a Trans
parent OVerbIouse.

s'haNery latest news from the head
qUNters of fashion says the rumor
concerning the bolero has taken def
mite shape, and that the heralded
jacket seems to have taken form as
a transparent oyerblouse, low in the
neck, sleeveless and short in length.
This will give madame who is still in
possession of last years dancing
brock chance to give it an entirely
different touch; and, indeed, the new
style will be becoming to many,
though, of course, it must of necessity
be impossible for those who weigh
more than their height calls for.
This new overblouse is generally
finely plated and outlined with gold
or silver braid, and, when made of a
light color and worn over a dark
dress, or vice versa, the effect is
striking.
Whether the bolero holds its own
as well-liked fashion or goes on with
other passing whims, it is now rea-
sonable and safe way to remodel the
little last years frock.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY
LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE
DAILY BATH.
Imperative That the Skin Be Frequent
Iy CIeansed OF mpurltles-Paln
and Suffering Are Sure to
Follow Neglect.

A daily bath should be part OF the
moral laws of every class of society.
If 1t is an impossibility to plunge daily
into bathtub, or If the doctor for
bids a plunge bath. the sponge bath
will prove sufficient for all purposes
of cleanliness or health.
The human skin Is a complicated
not, whose meshes must be kept open
and unclogged, in order that through
them the body may throw of its i'm
pure secretions, which must be gotten
rid of under penalty OF pain and suf-
fering and sometimes death.
The healthy action of the skin is
stimulated by by the opening OF the
pores in the bath, ESPECIALLY If 1t is
followed by friction with brush or
rough towel. ETC. Massage can be
dispensed with If the touch of
strange hand is OBJECTIONABLE Many
fevers and contagious diseases might
be avoided by these means
In cases of internal Inflammation,
bilious collie and congestion there is
no surer remedy than the hot bath.
This bath has also effected most as
tonishing cures of obstinate constipa-
ton. When person has been exposed
to contagious disease he should i'm
mediately take a hot bath. There Is
always possibility that the disease
will pass out through the pores Of
the skin. 1t should be remembered
that 1t is very important to cool off
gradually. Cleanliness Of the skin
has a decided influence on the assim-
ilation of food by the body. 1t is
known that well-opened pores make
far finer skin than uncleanly people
can boast
Think of the unfortunates of the
Middle Age Ignorant of the blessings
of the bath! "One thousand years
without baths!" exclaims Michelet in
one of his histories. Think of the
pestilence, the hideous diseases which
at that time scourged poor humanity!
In the time of Henry ". the habit of
bathing was still rare, for 1t is record
ed of one Of the great men of the day
that he asked why the hands should
be washed and not the feet. How
horrible!
If we knew the personal uncleanli-
ness of the beautiful women of to-
day at the court of King Sun we
should involuntarily shudder with dis
gust

A teaspoonful Of strong BLACK tea
tied up in piece of muslin, with bcil-
ing water poured over 1t, may be left
on the eye all night for a sly.
Should you be troubled with cold
feet cut four thicRnesses of newspa-
per the size of the foot and put two in
each shoe, as you would use an in
side sole. 1t is great protection
from dampness also
In sleeping, keep the head as low
as possible that the blood may circu-
late freely in the brain. The less pill
lows the better Always stretch out
your body fully. When the limbs are
crossed or curled up In any way the
rest Is not so great.
An insect in the ear may be de-
stroyed by pouring a teaspoonful of
warm olive oil or camphorated oil into
the ear and keeping it there for some
time, holding the head in a position to
retain the oil, which will afterward
come away with the dead insect.
Nothing will better draw out In
flammation caused by tears than to
soak the eyes in hot water. To do this
the cloth should be wet and laid over
the lids, renewing as soon as the heat
subsidies. Ten minutes OF this makes
the whole face red. and as the blood
recedes the lids bleach with the rest
of the skin.

NOVELTY AS A REFRESHMENT.
HAssolss and Rlssolettes Something
New TO Serve at Afternoon
Tea or Card Party.

The hostess who wants novelties
Tor her afternoon tea or card party
can find them In rissoles and ris-
solettes. that can be made at home
quite as deliciously as by the caterer.
A rissole is nothing but a croquette
wrapped in pastry and fried In boiling
lard. Special irons come for frying
these dainties. but they are not neces-
sary. Roll out thin squares of puff
paste, and on top place croquette
mixture of chicken, stirred into a we'll
seasoned white sauce, and nodded
when cold into regular croquette
shapes. Fold the pastry around the
meat, seal the edges with white Of
egg, dip into egg and well seasoned
bread crumbs and fry IN boiling lard.
Rissolettes are sheets of pastry rolled
very thin and dotted with currant
Jelly orange marmalade or any de-
sired preserve. A large sheet of pas
try Is rolled thin covered with dots
of the preserve and topped with an
other sheet of pao,rv To prevent the
jam from spreading the pastry about
the jelly is wet with ice water for
about half an inch in. Cut in circles,
diamonds or any desired shape, pinch
the edges together, brush with white
al egg and cinnamon These russo
IeJtes can either be fried in hot lard,
or, what is easier, baked in hot
oven for about IS minutes.

Simple and ServiceabIe.

ton here and there, accomplishing the
needs of the customer no longer young.
Faint tones, especially gray, violet
and black, are seen in these doctored
editions of a prevailing mode, and If
the customer has taste of her own she
helps the. maker with suggestions as to
what she can wear and what she can
not.
Middle-aged women of good taste Of
ten refuse the jaunty hats first Of
fered them, preferring the more suita-
bic bonnet even if it is a degree less
stylish. But bonnets designed for even
elderly heads are now very smart,
and If the head gets the right one the
result is far more youthful than if a
hat were worn.
A very broad, fiat effect, with small
flower and narrow velvet or ribbon put
on compactly, are the ear marks Of
the newest bonnets; and where these
are absolutely rejected, heavily
trimmed toque sometimes bridges
the difficulty between the thing too
young and the thing too old.
Feather boas, lace and net collar
cites, and little shoulder nantes of
silk or lace, provide suitable wraps for
those who dislike being without some
species Of covering.
The illustration demonstrates a
pleasing model for cashmere, which is
a material to be found in every city
and town Of the United States. This
gown is SO simple and serviceabIe that
every woman must recognize its adj
vantages.
The bodice and skirt are separate,
but the button trimming is arranged to
give a semi-princess effect The waist
is closed at the back with hooks, and
the bands and buttons are of satin, COW
cred buttons Of this sort being at this
moment extremely fashionable.
The little chemisette of tucked. mus
lin gives the simple touch fashion
likes, but this may also be of net, lace
or silk. The long, closed sleeves
shown are much in vogue, but since
there are wearers who still insist upon
elbow lengths, the model allows for
both styles.
The five-gored skirt is useful one
for cashmere. and the entire design
would accommodate itself to a number
of other modest wool or silk materials
Lightweight serge, summer flannel
pongee and many wash textures, sucFi
as bingham, linen and lightweight
duck, are also feasible
If cashmere is used. pale gray, fawn
color. mauve and violet are all modish
and rewarding tints.
Silk-covered buttons, pipings. tiny
stiff bows and neckties in color are all
seen On many of the white net and lace
waists. The bows, which are very
small. are placed in rows of three at
the front of the collar ard sometimes
down the front Of the bodice.
Ii satin or silk cannot be afforded.
cashmere or yelling would do for this
dress, and if the latter has a satin
