A Fine SAVAGE Custom.

The untutored mind of the Indian
or savage often appears strange to
us, but there is sometimes reason in
what at first sight seems eccentric. A
South African tribe has an effectual
method of dealing with bores, which
might be adopted by western people.
This simple tribe considers long
speeches injurious both to the orator
and his hearers. SO to protect both
there is an unwritten law that every
public orator must stand on one leg
only when he is addressing an audi
ence. As soon as he has to place the
other leg on the ground his GRAFTON is
brought to a clOse.-LOndOn Globe.

trous satins and brocades which do run into money so sadly. An evening gown of tucked net is perhaps the least expensive sort for the net in itself is charming and it may be mounted over thin silk or messaline of not expensive quality. Chiffon is very wide and drapes most grace fully. When in despair about a proper evening costume for some unexpected invitation, a new chiffon tunic may always be dropped over the old satin skirt and bodice and little diamante trimming added by way of extra smartness. F1owered chiffons, draped above lace-f1ounced skirts are fashion able this season and such gown may be gotten up at home at very little expense.
 The Sensible One- Color Scheme.
 It is economy to dress in one color -or in a selected two or three that harmonize with each other. For ex- ample one may select black and white, blue and lavender, if one has blue eyes or plum shades, green and golden browns if one Is brown eyed. A fa- nous French actress wears only blues, grays and greens and count less variations are rung for her on these shades. The topcoat pie tured is of dark gray oxford cloaking with cuff and collar facings of law ender and white silk. It accofnpanies a frock of dark blue mohair and the white outing hat is trimmed with a blue velvet band. The blues and lavender do not Jar as every shade of the chosen colors is carefully selected to harmonize with the others.

cessories are the things that count and 1t is we'll to set aside a certain sum at the beginning of the season for keeping the costume up'' in these details. One or two really distinguish ed bits of neckwear which may be laundered daintily by one's own hands or cleansed with naphtha, are a bet ter investment than half dozen cheap bits of neck finery; and 1t is the same with gloves. Lay in the seasons stock early and take good care of every pair. There should be washable dogskin or doeskin gloves and heavy mannish kid gloves for the street, one pair of long glace kid gloves for spe- cial wear and some pretty embroid- cred silk gloves to match evening frocks.

ones mind what sort of boots to buy as all the new styles are exhibited by the dealers at the opening of the season.
 The woman who must economize may not have pair of boots for every occasion, but she will have sev- eral pairs. none the less. for she has learned that it is economy to have several changes of footwear. The same boot will not answer for all oc- casions these days, moreover, and if one makes any pretense of keeping up with fashion, there must be special boots in one's dressing closet for wear with special costumes. With the trotabout tailored suit in the morning dull calf buttoned boots are worn Patent leather boots with buttoned tops of dull calf or cloth accompany the smart afternoon or visiting cos tune. Dainty boots of patent leather calf-topped; or boots of satin with crystal or pearl buttons complete the trained gown for afternoon bridge or reception wear. These boots have thin turned soles and coquettish French heels, though the street boot has inva- riably the dignified Cuban heel. There must also be evening footwear buttoned boots of light satin to match the opera gown or dancing gown and fetching slippers with Colonial buckles for use with less formal costumes. All these boots are kept in exquisite order. They are carefully treed. when not in use. Missing buttons are instantly re- placed and the moment a heel shows signs of running over, the boots are sent out to be strengthened.
 There is Q new walking boot which may be cleaned with ordinary soap and water. The boot is made of tan leather-just now very much the mode for wear with morning cos tunes of serge or worsted, as well as for rough weather wear with the long coat. The soap and water clean ing removes all kinds of soil Spots from the leather without in the least injuring its color or luster and in two minutes after taking off the boots they may be treed and set aside in the closet ready for use next time.
 The Time to Buy Hats.
 Every woman wants new hat at the beginning of a new season; and 1t Is well to buy the first tailored street hat before all the desirable and low-priced models - have been, picked out. This is especially true in the case of untrimmed shapes. If you expect to trim your own fall hat. make sure of the shape in the early

weeks of September. The trimmings may come later as well as the way of applying them. Wonderful bar gains in dressy hats may be picked up just after the holidays, but few women can wait until after the holidays for a needed theater or restaurant cha peau. Hats bought too late in the season are of little use the following year for millinery styles change very rapidly. The trimmings may be worth the reduced price of the hat, no doubt, but one could buy the mere trim mings quite as cheaply at the begin ming of a season. See that the tailored suit, the utility coat and at least one evening gown are in sufficiently good style and condition to do service through the early part of the season following their purchase, but buy hats and boots while the choice is unlim- tied.
 Conservatism the Guide in Buying
 Garments.
 Exaggerated and freakish styles are not for the woman who must make a small dress allowance go long way. The average tailored suit, if well made, of superior material and in a conservative style, will usually be cor rect In style through a second and even third season-provided skirt styles are not--as just now-in the process of a decided change. Ready made suits. bought after the holidays may often be picked up in good mod els for as low as twenty dollars, and such suit should last well into the following winter season when sim liar bargain may be found.
