FASHION AND FADS
BY mrs. Maud E. cinsy.

Pompons will continue to be worn,
and the midsh aigreete now has
the round and sunburnt effect.
Travelling coats, crash or grass
linen are seen almost as frequently
as those of linen.
There is evidence that velvets and
all pale fabrics will be I'm great favor
In the autumn.
The habit OF panel skirt is in evil
denee, carrying out the general effect
of slenderness.
1t seems certain that in the early
tall the narrow skirt and peasant
bodice will prevail
Some of the new fall hats are to be
brimless, 1t is said, and peaked like
a witch's crown
The rage of all kinds of scarves is
at its height, scarcely costume be-
ing seen without this accessory.
Choux or bows matching in color
the straw of ones hat are quite natty
as neck finish to summer gowns
Hats of chintz or small figured chif-
fon are worn more and more by small
girls at shore and mountains.
For outing wear coarse straw hats,
banded with hand-embroidered coarse
linen, are among the novelties.
Swiss openwork. embroidery con-
tinues its vogue, being employed inn
partially on hats. blouses and dresses.
Ribbon run insertion continues to
be favorite finish for the top of the
ruffie on lingerie petticoats.
Long scarves of blacks satin are
very striking, some self-lined. others
with oyster white or pearl-gray
satin.
Black satin tailor-mades show ac-
cessories of embroidery in the dark
Korean hints or in the blues and reds
of Bulgarian.
Sleeves for tailored costumes are
tighter than ever, and are finished
with stitched straps, braiding or
turnover cuffs.
The mannish wool mixtures have
first place for tailored suits, but
for dressier suits heavy satin and
broadcloth will be used
Neck chains composed of the large
gold. or silver beads, hang about many
pretty necks and dangle in front to
the waist line.
It is expected that in the autumn
fashions, chiffons will be much used
over brocade taffetas and figured
silks of various descriptions.
Those who ought to know predict
that the double box plat in back will
be seen as the prevailing style in
tailored skirts this fall.
Some entire hats are made of cash
mere and Persian silks, and they are
very prominent as faeings and in the
making of millinery accessories.

that will hold ball of cord.
Make a hole in the bottom of the

Fasten the sides together with lit

the top with baby ribbon.

QUITE A NOVEL
TIME-SAvING IDEA

Put rollers under your kitchen table
if you want to save yourself steps
and time.
You can then roll the table near
the sink when you are washing
dishes, into the pantry when you are
making bread and want to be near
the -four supply or In front Of the
china closet when you are giving it
cleaning and want place for the
contents Of the shelves while you
clean them
A roller table is surprisingly con
venient in the kitchen, and all that
is necessary is to put rollers on the
table YOU already have.

Every Tenant His Own Landlord.

In Europe and In this country many plans have been devised to enable em- ployees to get home by paying for 1t instalments in amount something add ed to what would be normal rent. Building Associations have long been established In this country for that purpose, but sooner or later they main- ly get under control of speculative in- terests and lose their fraternal cnarac- ter.
 Recently Cooperative Association was started by employees of Boston firm, with view to making rent-pay- CTS their own landlords and ultimate ly to become the owners of the houses In which they live, which has some novel and attractive features. One Is forming Financial Association of It's members, who bought six acres of land | in Roxbury, dcsigne the houses with the aid of a responsible architect, and borrowed the necessary money to build the houses. A writer In the Boston Transcript, who gives an account Of this Cooperative Homes Association, thus states the economy of this plan:
 The savings effected by cooperation are imposing in kind and amount. The land was secured at bargain, and, taking into account all improvements, will cost less than one half of the assessed value. The materials for the houses will be purchased at wholesale | rates and an a competitive basis. And | the houses have all been planned by 1 one architect and will be built by one | contractor of established reputation, | thus insuring better buildings at lower ! cost than could be had under the spec 1 ulative system.
 This is an innovation on all former attempts at home making, and must l eventually be the basis of all future efforts at cooperative home building. 1 For this reason the plan should he widely made known.

The Great Meteorie Shower.

This k the month that the earth, in it's orbit passes through or near sea of meteors and occasionally y are seen many "failing stars, "as they are called. In the past hundred and twenty years there have occurred two celestial phe- nomena, recorded in his history as the most marvellous sights ever witnessed -one was the "Dark Day." May l9, l7s0. So utterly dark did the day be- come that people were terrified, and members of the Legislature, then in session at Hartford, thinking the Day of Judgment had come, moved an ad- jonrnment. The presiding officer re fused, saying that they should be found attending to their duties in such an event. The other was the great mete- oric shower or falling stars, which oc- cured in August, 1883. In Scharfs "Chronicles of Baltimore n there is a vivid description of this starry storm, the fiery meteoric shower of lS3S- and old files of newspapers are made luminous at that date with the impress sions of editors and contributors. One writer said it was the grandest and the vision of man. Awakened from sleep, he sprang to the window, think ing the house was on fire, but when he looked out he oeheld starry, or fiery bodies, descending like torrents" "The shed in the adjoining yard to my own,N he wrote, twas covered with stars, as l supposed, during the whole time
 Professor olmstead, of, Yale Col lege, thought that the exhibition was the finest display of fireworks that had been witnessed since the creation of the world.

The Adams Apple.

The Adams Apple helps to protect the brain. One Of the most remarka. bic pieces of mechanism In the human system, says Piefsonis Weekly-a de- vice which anticipated several of our modern patents-is the Adams apple, which for ages physicians considered n sort of freak of Nature, without any material use in the human economy. But how different k this little device considered today,
 If we had no Adams apple there would have been more deaths from ap- oplexy and brain disorder than ever chronlcled in all history. Instead of be- ing useless organ, this article serves as an important storage system 10 pro- tect the brain.
 For instance, when we are excited or too animated, the heart pumps the blood up to the brain little too fast and if il could mol be stopped by some automatic device, death or brain dis ease would follow. The Adam apple is the local storage eistcrn which inter cepts the rapid flow and holds the sur plus blood.
 Again, II the supply from the hearl runs short and the brain Is likely to suffer from an insufficient supply. the storage cistern gives up its surplus oi blood. Thus this organ aets automati. the blood to the brain, protecting that organ from damage through our tenn. potafy exc, s>es.

1aixae's Way.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time while living in Paris Balzac locked himself up in his room for twenty-two days and twenty-two nights. refusing to see any one and keeping the cur tains closed and the lights continually burning even in broad daylight. The only human being he saw during this time was his servant, whom he rang for when he felt the need of food and which he washed down with numerous cups of coffee. He would throw him- self on his bed only when entirely ex- hausted from lack of sleep. and he re- mained in complete ignorance of what was transpiring outside. the state or the weather and even of the time and day of the week. He only freed him. self from this voluntary captivity when he had written the word End on the last page of the manuscript he began when he entered his prison.

The moment you pick up a piece sort of electric thrill runs through you and an agonizing pain shoots through your jaws.

odor of cabb,o. and Onions.

It is admittedly not pleasing when It spreads over the whole house.
 Careful housekeepers try to prevent this as much as possible.
 Before beginning to fry onions or boil cabbage see that the top of the kitchen window Is open and also draw back the grating above the stove.
 Even if only few inches opening is made the smell from whatever Is being cooked will thus have a means of escape.
 It is also fact that if the lid is kept of the pan in which either of these vegetables Is being cooked the oder will be much less.
 IL Is good plan 10 have some cedar wood dust at hand. A little scattered over the hot stove gives a pleasant odor and prevents the smells from be- ing noticeable.
