LATE SUMMER FASHION NOTES.

done without much firnlness of spirit and
a good deal of study. Nevertheless, 1t
is worth while. and one might begin this
summer, and SO be prepared for the au-
tumn models when they come out.
One Of the great things is, of course,
the fitness Of things 1t is so common
to hear women say that they never have
the right thing to put on, and usually
because they buy before they think. An
other reason is that so often a woman
expresses in her dress what she wants
to be rather than what she is, or. at
least, what she appears to be to the
world in general. Sometimes the effect
Is quite charming in itself but unless it
fits into her surroundings it is not sue
ceSsful.
Very often to harmonic with every
thing else in ones setting it is necessary
to use quite a lot of self-control, to
eliminate many personal inclinations. And
sometimes to achieve the same aresult it
is imperative to develop things one does
not possess except in the germ. The
woman who likes tailormades better than
anything else, and persists in wearing
them both in and out of season. is not
seldom a jarring note in a decorative
scene, just woman who will wear
frils and furbelows to walk through
wet streets on November day is an
anomaly.
There are few women in the world.

To Mothers.

A mother who has had great success in
bringing up her little girls on self-help
principles says that she has always found
that playing at being grown up encour-
ages her children TO be resourceful and in
dependent.
To help them she gives her little girls
in their bedrooms miniature furniture.
The chest of drawers is not too high for
the child to reach to the topmost one. and
the little one is taught to put her clothes
away neatly in them and to play" over
the process.
The washstand is low enough to be
practical instead of uninteresting and
alarming.x high. inviting accidents and
causing nervous children not to use 1t for
fear of spilling the water. and the hang
ing wardrobe has hooks that even the
shortest of six-year-old possessors can
reach. Miniature furn4ture Of this kind
gives the child a sense of responsibility
in the most delightful manner possible.
Upon the little low bed and other pieces
of furniture II is customary to inscribe
notices that will be good for the child s
morals. connected with the virtues Of get
ting up early and quickly. being cheerful.
tidy, and so forth. These mottoes would
pail upon child rather quickly, but to
some little ones they would undoubtedly
add to the charm of the furniture.
II is essential that a child's bedroom
should be as light and airy as possible.
| and If white enameled suite OF furniture
be given to the little girl Of fastidious
tastes she will take pleasure in keeping
il clean and should be taught to dust her
own little belongings and thus to save
others trouble and to lay the foundation
of future clever housewifery.

One sees nothing but lingerie, cotton.
voile. laces and materials like these nova
days, and, as most people have bought
all the frocks they are going to have this
summer. there is not very much to say
about them. OF one thing there is no
question. and that is there is nothing SO
successful as simplicity. 1t has been so
much the fashion to mix embroideries,
laces. fringes, buttons, that the tempta-
ton to go wrong with trimming has been
great this season for those who like their
frocks to look as If they are worth the
money they pay for them. The best
method in such circumstances is TO in
sst upon a sketch before ordering a
dress. unless the model is there before
hand, as endless trouble may ensue if the
dressmaker is allowed 10 dab on all the
things she proposes.
One woman ordered a lingerie frock a
short time ago. and she unwisely said
Il will leave it to you to the amiable
modste. The result was frankly APP

At the present moment earrings are SO
much worn that the fashionable woman
has-or appears to have-a pair for every
costume. To get the latter effect the
jewelers. have. exercised their skill in
fashoning designs that can be used with
different gowns All that is necessary is
to have the foundation of the earrings
with a stone in neutral tint, such as q
pearl or brilliant. set at the top, and
from this the pendant in color is sus-
pended. Thus with very little manipula-
ton the long drop pendants to match the
toilet may be attached to the earrings.
These earrings may be purchased with
sets of pendants arranged in dainty little
cases OF leather lined with velvet. The
stones include emerald, sapphire, anne
thyst, ruby and topaz The emeralds are
worn with dresses in all shades of green,
sapphires accompany gowns in blue of
varying tint, amethysts go with the
mauves and the purples. the rubies may
be worn with dresses in red and deep
rose tones, while topaz is the stone re-
served for the yellows and browns. The
most fashionable earring is extremely
long. The first stone, with its platinum
setting is set closely against the ear, and
the long drop pendants are attached to
fine chain Of platinum.

the earring. and If selected with care 1t
