IDEA
FOR A HAT CHEST

Closet room is always at a premium.
There can never be enough space TO hold
all that a household contains with per-
feet ease and comfort. Particularly does
the problem of hats need solving. Closet
shelves are generally capable Of holding
but one of the size fashion now DEGREES.
Each hat should have an entire box OF
its own. roomy enough to allow il to lie
fat upon a hat rest. for the least cramp-
ing is liable to cruS.. II or alter its shape.
a very novel and practical idea has
been evolved to meet the needs of the
woman who possesses half a dozen hats
and doesn't know where to put them.
A light stand, made of four slender
posts, with a shelf or two, containing
prettily decorated boxes, is a gay addi-
ton to a room, and does not mar its
beauty. The stand contains no sides, so
that the box may easily slip in and out,
or a better arrangement is to have one
side of the box attached on hinges, so
lifting off the lid each time you wish to
remove the hat.
Sometimes these stands are stained 10
match the furniture of the room, or they
look fresh and pretty when enameled in
white paint, or, again, they may be
draped in chintz to match the hangings
of the boudoir. They may also be made
of crude materials and placed in the
storeroom, If space allows. But the
woman who possesses such a one will
find it of great comfort. Hat rests, to
place within the boxes. of light wire,
covered with either ribbon or silk or
chintz, of course, are made to carry out
the prevailing color scheme

sons without the proper support to his
mind of a well-regulated physical condi-
ton.
Herald's Page for Every Woman, on the
subject of mothers, a man said to me
that he believed more of the wrongs done
children were due to thoughtlessness than
to any other cause.
This may be true, but the reason of
the wrong makes no difference to the
child suffering through that wrong.
The fact remains that the wrong exists,
and I know of none greater than fore
ing little children to go through a day
of hard mental work without properly
caring for the demand of their physical
beings.
1t makes no difference to the child
when hunger is gnawing at his stomach
or he is weak and weary through lack
Of proper nourishment, whether the cause
OF his condition is a thoughtless mother
or one who willfully neglects his well
fare.
l agree with the man who made the
suggestion that mothers often err
through thoughtlessness.
But such a characteristic is unpar-
that is in her keeping.
The more so when we consider how
helpless children are; how utterly in the
power of the woman who has given them
Hfe-dependent upon her for their health,
for their happiness, for their growth to
Creditable manhood and womanhood.

THE HERALD'S LATEST PATTERNS
NEW RIBBONS ARE
EXTREMELY PRETTY
New Note Struck in Satin
and Velour.

With the russet tones and autumnal
colorings Of early fall have come to US
from abroad the new ribbons of exquisite
texture and tints. They call forth mem
ories of deep toned glades and dells, of
fathomless shadows fecked with gold. In
just such stuffs did the watteau ladies
masquerade upon grassy slopes, beneath
the flushing trees Of the changing sea-
sons.
These wonderful ribbons are to decorate
both gowns and hats, and II properly used
will add another triumph to the milliner's
and dressmaker's art. All of them are
heavy in quality. and most Of them are
two-toned or a combination of many
colors. Tapestry ribbons, with threads Of
silver and gold worked upon rich back
grounds, will be very much the vogue,
and huge velvet flowers, so beautifully
woven upon a solid background OF white
or black satin that they look as II they
had been painted by a master hand. are
also shown in widths Of from FIVE to
eight inches.
Satin Braid Ribbons.
Then there are satin ribbons which are
fashioned upon braid forms which wear
better than ordinary braid and will be
used largely for tailored effects.
but an enJTely new note mas Deeh
struck in the combination OF satin and
velour. One-half OF these charming crea-
tions is of heavy satin, and the other
half Is of long mapped velour or silk
fringe, as 1t is sometimes termed. These
will be used as landings and will largely
take the place Of the heavier and clum-
sier trimmings OF fur. Scarlet or GRIM
son combined with mole velour make a
charming combination, and mauve, deep
ening into purple allied with smoke-gray
velour, is also very effective. These We
lour landings of all shades and tints will
be used as a new motif in ornamental
ton, and they possess a softness of out
line and an adaptability that will insure
their popularity.
OF course, velvet ribbons will hold their
own in the realm of fashions. but this
years showings have satin backs of a
contrasting color, glimmerings of which
may be seen through the intricate knots
or the simpler bows for which they will
be utilized.
Perhaps never before have these essen
tial trimmings been so magnificent and
fetching, and to judge from the early
glimpses we have of them, and their artis-
tic adjustment, they will greatly enhance
the beauty Of both hat and gown.

CHARMING BAGSAND
REAPPEARING BELTS

Feminine accessories again play a large
part in the chic appearance Of milady,
and more than ever does she devote
both time and minute attention to the
appropriateness of the little things"
that go to make or mar her toilet. In
former years, when she possessed a sub
stantial leather shopping bag and a
handsome card case for calling, her
needs were fulfilled, but these luxurious
days demand that each occasion and each
toilet must have an accompanying bag
OF its own.
, The large mousquetaire bags, nat, and
either square or pointed at the bottom and
sides to form sort of broad triangular
shape, seems to be the most popular,
and no material can be too handsome
and gorgeous for their use. Antique tapes
tries Of dull, rich tones, bound with
tarnished gold braid. make charming
bags, hung with long cords OF silk or
gold and finished with heavy tassels
Moire and rep silk bags, satin and vel
vets and suede of delicate tints will all
find their way into favor. This year
they are larger than ever and fasten
either with heavy. dull silver or gold
clasps or by simply threading the top
with the cord from which they hang.

COOKING GPRACTICED
AS A FINE Art"
Mrs. Wheelock Lectures and
Demonstrates at Kann's.

Cooking can be practiced as a fine art
or II can be done anyhow as Is, per-
haps. the usual way it is done. S. Kann,
Sons & Co are proving to the women of
Washington, in a series Of practical dem
onstrations, that 1t Is fine art, yet one
easily acquired, provided the housekeep-
er exercises the same care and thought
fulness in selecting the proper tools that
an artist has in choosing his paints and
brushes.
Mrs T B. wheelock, Of Minnesota,
who Is thoroughly acquainted with all
the details OF plain, practical, and fancy
cooking, has been secured by this firm
to give daily lectures and demonstra-
tions of domestic science during the
hours from 1880 a. m. to 2:30 p. m. the
menu is changed daily. and all dishes
are prepared before the classes and
chatty homelike comments made upon
them by Mrs wheelock as her swift and
sEillfuI fingers manipulate the dough for
pastries, biscuits, and other breadstuffs,
deftly combine INGREDIENTS for salads, or
prepare meats and vegetables for cook
ing.
The course is perfectly free. and the
classes are given samples Of the viands
prepared. These lessons, as many pupils
have stated. have proved a revelation Of
the comfort and convenience a house
keeper viii experience in having for use
the right utensils and In using them
properly. Young housekeepers will great
iy appreciate this course, no doubt but

Japanese embroidery or stuffs woven so
cunningly that the eye can scarce fol-
low their intricate pattern, are both
interesting and artistic. Beaded bags OF
all descriptions are again to the fore,
and those who are fortunate enough to
have one of these tucked away with the
hnery Of their grandmothers may now
bring them forth and display them with
pride. The beaded bags of to-day are
fashioned from solid beads in the vari-
Gus colors black and steel or gold, or
colors combined with white.
With these bags are shown an unusual
display Of belts which have been hidden
from view for some time, but the smart
serge blouses have again called them
back to recognition. Strips of tapestry
are utilized in this way with tarnished
gold or silver buckles, and patent leather
and suade stiIl hold their own.
Soft white suede belts with nat bows
of the same material are effective, and
brown suede with trimmings Of black
patent leather look very trim.

reach to the bottom Of the skirt, finished

OF course, every woman's and every
mans greatest desire is for happiness.
That is blanket wish that covers all
other wishes. and every other wish is
simply a means to that end.
But If a good fairy should suddenly
appear, as in the old nursery tale, and
offer Everywoman her three requests of
the gods, it doesn't take any prophecies
to tell what she would ask.
She would ask. without even stopping
to debate the question, to be supernally
beautiful. incredibly rich, and romanti-
cally and passionately loved, because to
the feminine fancy to be a living picture,
millionairess, and an affinity fills the
cup Of bliss so full it slushes over.
Yet the qualification of none, nor all
OF these wishes, would make a woman
happy unless they could be backed up
be made eternal, and the woman's in
terest in them might not pail.
1t were folly to ask for beauty unless
it could be made perpetual, as, alas, it
cannot be in this changing life. No
agony can be greater than that of the
woman who sees the years steal the
bloom from her cheek, the luster from
her hair, the brilliance from her eyes,
and knows herself powerless to prevent
the ravages Of age. 1t is better to have
been born homely than to have to listen
to people tell you how you have faded.
Starves in the Midst of Gold.
Nor is there any tragedy more complete
than that of the woman who. having had
great wealth, loses it and is reduced to
poverty, unless il is that OF the woman
who has nothing but money and who
starves in the midst OF her gold for real
love, real friends, real interests in life.
The wish to be loved, of all of the aver
age woman's three wishes, would come
nearest to bringing her happiness were
it gratified, but even that would need
to be accompanied by a large bill of
particulars and specifications, such as
(a) must be loved by the one particular
he; Cb) love must be of the especial
variety that suits my taste; (c) the
temperature of love must always be at
the boiling point; Id love must never
falter, but must be good for as much
poetry when / am fat and forty as
when I am slim and twenty, and must
be guaranteed to be water-tight and
weather-proof, and not to be affected
by my temper, nor curl papers, nor
wrappers, nor leathery steaks and heavy
biscuits; (e) love must have enough gin
ger in It to keep my appetite for It per-
petually keen, so / won't tire of a daily
diet Of too much sweets.
Now, to my thinking. II a woman were
given three wishes she should ask:
For good health.
For genius for little things.
To love
To have health means to possess
beauty of a type that does not fade.
1t also includes good nature. because

When the little tads trudged away to

At their very best these cold little
