exercise will take of the fraction Of

exercise will take OF the fraction Of
an ounce of flesh each day.
Still another method to reduce any
signs of double chin is to wiring out
a towel In hot water every day and
hold it to the superfuous flesh. Con.
tinue this practice for five minutes,
and then hold the chin over basin
of hot water until 1t perspires freely.
The throat is then to be bathed with
cold salt water or a compress of cold
water to which few drops of simple
tincture Of benzoin have been added
must be laid on the neck.
The girl who wishes to whiten her
throat should battle 1t every evening
In hot milk in which little borax has
been dissolved. When it is dried the
neck must be gently massaged with
almond oil and rose water. This will
not only whiten the skin, but will also
take away any wrinkles in the neck.
and will leave it soft yet firm.
Rubbing the neck with channels
pad on which a few drops of olive oil
have been laid is advocated al means
for removing all roughness OF the skin,
as It is said that with this practise the
throat becomes as smooth as satin and
of an exquisite texture.

HANDBAG TO MATCH
1T SHOULD HARMONIZE' WITH
MY LADY'S COSTUME.
Velvet, Black Moire or Persian EN-
broidery Are the Favored Materi-
ais, Though Tinted Suede Bags
Also Are Much Liked.

The woman in search of new
handbag is apt to be furried by the
many styles offered But let her only
consider her costume when she goes
forth to shop, and pay as much as
she can afford, and all will be well. In
color and material the reticule must
harmonic with the gown with which
it is worn; it must be plain or ele-
CANT as the occasion requires. The
cheap, trumpery, flashy thing is to be
avoided. Handbags have an aristoc-
rracy all their own, and there is moth
ing that gives you SO dead away as
the wrong thing.
gowns a bag In woven material is
thought dressier than one in an anil
NAL skin, that Is, deer skin excepted,
for with the soft finish Of suede, and
with brilliant metal frames, this skin
is made up In many stunning ways.
But the bag of velvet, or black MORE,
or Persian embroidery, is the thing
to the fore. such bags showing oval or
square frames and cord handles with
a tassel finish. A huge affair of black
MORE, with an oval top in bright gilt
clasping with two tapping knobs, is
the one approved by the girl who trips
along in the short tight skirt in the
latest fashion. In fact, the more ex-
travagantly narrow the petticoats and
the more they show trim ankles. the
bigger the bag. often.
Innings of these useful accessories
match in elegance. MORE in delicate
colors-violet, pale blue, gray or GER
ise-being the favorite doublings. In
every bag, whatever its material,
there is the usual tiny change purse,
and if the article is very fine there is
often a fiat square purse as well.
Black velvet and MORE bags go with
frocks in any color; indeed, in these
materials black is the smartest note.

MYSTERY OF WoMAN's HAIR

The British Medical Journal quotes
an interesting account by Mr.. Frances
Trollope of a "hair market" in Brit
tany. He states that in various parts
OF the motley crowd there were three
or four different purchasers Of this
commodity, who travel the country for
the purpose of attending the fairs and
buying the tresses of the peasant
girls.
They have particularly fine hair,
and frequently In the greatest abun-
dance There seemed to be no diff.
Guilty in finding possessors of beauti-
full heads Of hair perfectly willing to
sell. I'VE saw several girls sheared
one after the other, like sheep, and
as many more standing ready for the
shears, with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists. No
doubt the reason Of the indifference to
their tresses on the part Of the fair
Bretonnes to be found in the invari-
able mode which covers every head
from childhood upward with close
caps, which entirely prevents any part
Of the hair from being seen, and, of
course, as totally conceals the want
of It. The money given for the hair
Iii about 20 sous, or else gaudy cot
ton handkerchief-they net immense
profits by their trip through the coun-
try"

VOGUE OF VELVET GROWING
Scarves Of This Material, Lined With
Satin, Are Graceful and Warm
for Fall Wear.

So great is the vogue of velvet that
even the satin scarf which was lately
the universal favorite,- has now been
superseded by the one which is out
wardly fashioned of velvet, and which
relegates the satin to the merely sec
ondary position of lining. And, truly,
there is better cause for the change
than mere freak on the part of Dame
Fashion, for there is extra protection,
as well as decorativeness. in the vel
vet, and 1t is, consequently, well suit
ed to intermediate use between the
fiImy ninon and soft satin neckwear
of late summer, and the furs which
proclaim the actual advent OF winter
Vastly becoming, too, are these velvet
scarves in the finest panne variety,
whose soft black is set off by lining
Of satin of various shadings, and is
further finished with deep silken
fringe.
Some of the other models in velvet
are fashioned on the lines of the mill
tary scarf, and slung piquantly over
one shoulder, to fasten low down on
the hip at the other. side. Others,
again, are shaped in something OF
fichu form, while then, again, some
enormously wide scarves, lined with
pastel colored satin, are sufficiently
large to do duty as evening wraps,
the fastening being most decoratively
effected by a cluster Of little roses,
whose primly folded satin petals re-
peat the pale blue or. pink or mauve
of the lining.

The tinted suede bags, of which
there is vast number, must match
the color of the gown, or else harmon
ize prettily with 1t. Violet and pale
olive are favorite colors for these,
and such hues go finely with black
frocks. A novelty in both suede and
English morocco-which Is one Of the
newest skins-is bag in cerise, or,
more properly speaking, chantecler
red. This is very effective with
black suit, but when the bag is very
big, as it often is, the effect is too
startling for any except the girl who
is not afraid of stares. Scores OF the
black leather bags are lined with this
shade of red, specially those in patent
leather; but the woman who wants
something in exquisite taste will
choose gray suede lining with black.
Where 1t is impossible to get a bag
for every frock, black patent leather
is useful choice for the single one
that can be bought 1t is not SO new
as the woven materials, or SO durable
as some of the dull finished skin, but
the shiny leather looks smart until the
end.

CALAIS AND ITS LIGHTHOUSE

Calais is rather an untidy place for
a French town. The Place d'Armes,
where the tower of the Hotel de Willie
has remained since the fifteenth cen
fury, is the center spot. Here Calais
meets it's friends and has its cafe noir
In the square, towering out of the
roofs of surrounding houses and
dwarf1ng them, is the old watch tower.
Since 1848 it has been superseded as
a lighthouse by the magnificent one
at present in use Never shall I for
get the effect of this lighthouse as Il
stood under it that night. The revolv-
ing spokes of light cast away into
filmy space in all directions looked
like the ribs of huge umbrella being
turned by the white handle, which was
the lighthouse tower. So tall is this
that its revolving light can be seen
from a distance of twenty miles at
sea.-Wide World Magazine

To Hold Veil In Place.

A number of clever expedients have
been devised to hold veil snugly
under the chin without giving 1t an
ugly line. Here is one method which
saves the veil also and involves hard.
ly any trouble. Get the narrowest
kind Of round elastic, the same color
as the veil (paint the white elastic
with water colors for colored veil)
and whip it over the extreme edge OF
the veil, taking up only single
thread all around. Include any cut
edges, but afterYard pare them oil
neatly with small pair Of scissors.
Fasten in back with a tight knot.
The veil is slightly gathered ION the
elastic, fits nicely under the chin and
over hat, and stretches when it is
raised. 1t seems the best solution Of
a vexing problem Of dress.
