The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being q
constitutional disease. requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have SC
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for ans
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

WiImingtOn's Big Fair.

The arrangements for the coming Will
mington Fair on August Goth. goth and
3lst, and September 1st, indicate that
this is to be the biggest fair Delaware
has ever known. All the management
asks for now is favorable weather, and
it is believed that after the adverse
weather conditions of year ago Provi-
dence is certain to smile upon the as
sociation during the week of the fair
this year.
Not only are the racing events of more
interest than usual, showing many fast
horses entered for handsome prizes,
but the farm and machinery exhibits
promise to excel anything ever eenthere
before. 1t is a noticeable fact that,
after an apparent decline in interest
for years, the farm and machinery
exhibits at county fairs have again come
to attract the attention they deserve,
and with this fact in mind the manage
ment of the Wilmington Fair have spared
no effort to provide display extraor-
binary in every way for this season.
The dog show on Wednesday offers a
splendid lists of entries and will un-
doubtedly be one of the real features OF
the fair. Those who recall the remark
able success of last years exhibit. are
sure to realize what they may expect
when it is stated that this years show
is to excel it in every way.
The spectacular feature of the fair
this year is offered by California Frank 8
big Wild West, which will show on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The New CoIors.

Many of the new colors for winter re-
semble the lovely shades that are found
in fine water-color paintings. The violet
tones have the twilight shades that are
seen on vast plains melting away into
the dim distances; the yellows are like
the strained gold of an autumn sun
viewed through misty shadows, while the
blues possess the charm of those in the
depths of the midnight summer skies, the
deep blue Of the peacock or the blue of
transparent water.
Then there are the grays and browns
ing clouds, and the shades of the glori-
ously tinted leaves Of October.
Antelope gray is a tone much in vogue
for travelling and automobile suits of
serge. and is worn with gloves and shoes
in harmony. Clematis blue, hue verg-
ing closely on purple, promises to ne
one of the most popular tones in the
autumn hats, though it may perhaps not
rival the Missal purple, which has al
ready made it's appearance in the velvet
millinery with the domed crowns, the
shade that accords SO well with the dark
eyes Of the brunette.
Citron yellow silk will be combined
with amethyst tule, especially for the
new corsages that may accompany a
gown of citron yellow cloth, while one
meuse satin is very happily embroidered
in moonlight silver roses, with foliage
worked in the two shades.
Cypress green silk enriched with
flounces of point de venise lace Is anoth-
er of the harmonies which show that
color is not to be forgotten in the
schemes of winter dress.

Shoe Novelties.

over some of us footgear holds d fasci-
nation that is irresistible, and if We do
not have a mans craze for accommodating
mere numbers we do love to buy shoes
and slippers of different forms, and to
suit every style of toilet. This season
offers not a few novelties that are sure
to tempt the woman who has pretty feet
and knows it.
The new patent glace has won approx
al and the dressier outdoor shoes are
often made in this leather, the newest
style having top of soft suede fastened
at the side of the foot with ribbon ties.
And there are also among the novelties
shoes with very decorative fronts. which
slip on the foot in the easy old-fashioned
way by means of the elastic side.
In the evening shoes the favorite styles
are carried out in velvet calf in rich
vivid colors, matching the evening gowns
of gay hue Black looks especially smart
set off by a button or buckle or brlliants.
and i'm royal blue, emerald or purple fin
ished by small enameled buckle.

These shoes. by the way, are all made
in the low shape and so are the eN-
uuisite slippers of Softest dove gray-the
very latest novelty of ail-gun metal
gray, the ornament being tiny butter
fly in small but flashing Drlliants. Buc-
kles are often seen. but Tor the most

A Partisan Shampoo.

The washing of the hair is especially
important now that the hair is worn
fiat. and hair not properly washed might
lust as well not be washed at All.
Parisian beauty doctors are using hair
washing paste, the foundation of which
is powdered soap. You cover tiie FoWueI
with boiling water, add some boraX ana
orris root with a little sachet poWuer
Of YOUR favorite scent. and you are feaay
10 begin When it is all of bubble,
yo, take it off the fire and stir III some
whole oatmeal When it cools 1t Is ready
for use: If a very high perfume Is desired
some oil of rose geranium is added You
will then have a jelly, not very clear pc
cause OF the oatmeal and orris, but
smelling delightfully."-.
When washing put the hair under the
hot water until the hair is hot and drip
ping This is the first rule: Let the hair
be water soaked before you begin. In
Paris they put your head in big silver
lined basin, which the French woman
does not have to stoop over she leans
far back and her head rests in a silver
standard that is as comfortable as II can
be. The water is then shoWered on her
head
After the paste is thoroughly worked
in the rinsng must be begun. Many
persons do not understand how difficult
Ii is TO rinse the hair properly: The
trouble is that the individual hairs are
coated with soap and the water must be
hot and used with force to get the soap
out. That is the theory and secret OF It.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

James R. Smith was killed yesterday
afternoon in an automobile accident. The
accident happened when Mr.. Smith
turned suddenly to avoid pedestrian,
who had stepped directly in front of the
machine The automobile crashed into a
telegraph pole and Mr.. Smith was in
stantIy killed Mr.. Smith has a reputa-
ton as a very careful driver and wit
nesses say he was driving very slowly at
the time of the accident
One hears much all over the country
nowadays about reckless driving. mere
are two sides to every question. :" nat
about reckless walking
The above paragraph, which cnpped
from a morning paper. suggests the fol-
lowing hints for pedestrians:
In crossing street, always look
straight ahead, up at the sky or down al
Your feet, but never look by any chance
to the right or left
If YOU are trundling a baby carriage
always select very crowded crossing to
cross upon. Stand d moment or two upon
the crossing, as if celebrating Whethef
to embark or not, while all the drivers
and chauffeurs are watching you anxious
". and then, with the utmost delibera-
ton YOU are capable Of and the most
nonchalant indifference to your surround
ings make the passage.
If YOU meet an acquaintance in the mid
there and have quiet little 1rlendl!
chat with him or her. Under no circum-
stances bother to step up on the side
walk.
If YOU step out of a trolley car never
look about you, but assuming that the
street must of course, be perfectly
cleared in honor of your arrival, start at
once to the sidewalk.
When waiting for u trolley car II rs al
WAYS preferable to stand squarely in the
middle of the road You might miss 1t II
YOU waited on the sidewalk.
If Won are small boy, whenever yo,
see an automobile coming, run across the
road i'm front of it to see just how close
YOU can come to bein:S run oVe' with
ont quite doing it. If you miscalculate
by any chance YOU will have fine re-
venge en- the automobilist, as your par
ents can collect damages from him ard
he may even be held for mansiaushter
Whoever and whatever you are, regard
all automobiles and drivers as Your nat
,lraI enemies. and in so far as you can,
without too much peril to your own skin,
GET in their way and hamper and annoy
them.
| have entitled these few suggestions
"bints' for pedestrians. | see my folly.
4 word to the wise is sufficient; hlnt
TO most pedestrians is superhuous.
