MiIady's Mirror.

Every girl, even if she cannot be
beautiful, should try to do her best to-
ward making herself attractive and
pleasing to look upon. and, while healthy
skin and bright eyes go a long ways in
making a woman look pretty. the plain
girl, that girl who is lacking in good
features lovely hair and eyes, can do
much toward lending a charm to her
whole appearance if she will but be care
full in the type of clothes she wears.
This style girl should always dress in
an inconspicuous manner, but at the
same time be most particular about the
color and kinds of materials she chooses
for her gowns and frocks.
stylish frock which has been well
chosen and is worn well will often make
an otherwise ugly girl look really at
tractive If not pretty. and lend a certain
something to her appearance which Is
hard to describe, but which comes from
the fact that her clothes have been
chosen with thought and interest as to
how they will look when worn. A becom-
ing hat, too. goes a great way in making
a hOmely woman look we'll.
So no girl should become discouraged
just because she has irregular features
and a poor skin If she will but try to
study her clothes carefully ard with a
view to what suits her. and not 20 in for
copying the dresses of her friends and ac-
quaintanceS who have been more favored
by the goddess Of beauty.
Wearing the right colors is another
poirt the homely girl should consider.
The eyes and hair are the best means of
determining u becoming shade. and a girl
is Very foolish. indeed. who tries to wear
a color just because she likes that par
ticuiar shade. regardless of whether 1t is
her color. The wise woman finds out
what colors she looks best in. and then
sticks to these. with few color changes,
Of course, in the way of trimmings, etc.
The girl with bright red hair often
longs for the pretty cOlored hair of the
real blond, or for the raven locks seem SO
often on the woman with olive complex
ion. and does not realize that the auburn
haired girl is lovely to look upon II gown
ed in dresses in her own cOlOrs, for no
girl has more clearly defined colors than
the red-haired girl. Green. white. black
and some of the lovely brown shades be-
long to her. as to no other type of girl.
From all this 1t will Sc that. while
bright eyes and lovely complexion are
the greatest of beauty helps, care in
choosing hat. gowns and the colors which
go with these is the principal thing to be
considered by the homely girl.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Copper FURNISHED, tinted in it's natural
tone, is one of the loveliest and most
fashionable shades this fall. 1t seems
particularly suited to harmonic with
the season.
The model sketched shows an effec-
tive frock of it in soft satin with fur
trimmed tunic of marquisette. The foun-
dation skirt. very short, is decorated with
scrolls traced in silver cord. and the
maruuisette which has border printed
in deep copper tones. is gathered at the
top, where it is mounted under a belt
of silver. and again at knee depth, where
the fur banding confines and shapes It,
The fur is continued around the back
and up one side. Crossing under the
belt it is carried up to the shoulder.
where in the original it ends. If desired
to make further use of the fur. however.
the banding may be continued down the
back of the belt
The blouse is one of the many youth
full models that have appeared recently,
quite plain and easy fitting across the
top. long sleeves cut in one with it, and
neck cut out in a narraw point, fin
ished with a turnover collar. 1t is a
wonderfully satisfactory sort of dress,
because suitable for so many different
afternoon occasions and so rarely grace
full in it's simple lines.
There is Il new transparency that ought
to be welcome as a relief from the mar
quisette and chiffon. 1t is rather like a
loosely woven chiffon of the weight and
body of chiffon cloth. and 1t lends itself
delightfully."- to the prevailing forms of
draperies. Also it is to be particularly
recommended for superimposing one
transparency upon another.
In dresses of the character of the
model under consideration new idea
is to have one side of supplied tunic
or one pannier drapery of one color and
the other another. but not so strongly
contrasted that either side catches the
eye of the observer al the expense of the
other. or, to put it more clearly. to de-
stroy the ensemble effect.
Another novelty is the banding of
transparencies employed in afternoon
dresses with silk braid. Much of the
wide widths is used, applied flat and
stitched by hand to prevent unevenness.
For instance. in the model three or
four inch braid might be substituted for
the fur. Much. ALSO. is done with wide

Each support must be sewn in evenly

NOTABLE NOTIONS
OF THE SEASON
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

The fall sewing must now be in full
swing if one may judge by the number of
women waiting at the notion counter
1t is astonishing the small amount of
thought that is given to the furnish
ings" of a dress. One buys hooks and
eyes, bOning, braids and so on, years
after year, of the same old kind, while
with little observation or inquiry there
is no end of cOnveniences and improve
ments to be found which will lessen Ia
Dor.
Even in the matter of buying pins women
are careless. They will ask for "a paper
of pins without any regard for the use
to be made of them. and then if not sat
isfactory. complain and say so-and-so's
pins are mo good
/ had chat with a buyer for notions
recently, and she was telling me much
that was interesting about her small
wares. She said. for instance, there was
nothing found yet that could be substi-
tuted for a pin, neither could it seemingly
be improved on. yet it certainly was a dan
gerous little thing. with it's sharp point.
A new head had been devised, but it could
not be said to be an improvement 1t was
thought the round head of pin might
work through the cloth of dress into
the body, SO a T head was invented, but
the little, straight bar was so much more
noticeable than the round head that wom-
en- refused to accept it.
Then this young woman went on to say
what very little interest women showed
in labor-saving devices when it came to
sewing. She showed me the tape fitted
with hooks and eyes. which really is a
very good thing. because tsere can be no
doubt of the accuracy of the mee- ling of
hook and eye. but many women preferred
to sew on the hooks and eyes in the
same old way. probably removing them
a couple or three times ere they proved
perfect. 1t takes quite an experienced
seamstress to sew hooks and eyes on
properly, as every woman knows who has
tried it.
This was another article for which no

PREPARING FOR OLD AGE.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Is there anything in all this wide world
any sadder than old age without any of
the dignity, the sweetness, the philoso-
ply and the unselfishness which ought to
be old ages compensation for the loss OF
the infinite riches of youth?
If there is, / have yet to see it.
little old lady has come into my Or
bit lately. When l first came into con-
tact with her I had the natural feeling
of friendship, pity and kindness which
one is likely to entertain toward a frag-
lie, white haired, little woman, especially
if she is alone. When 1 came to APP
proach her more closely l found that she
deserved such sympathy and friendship
far less than many younger people. for
she was nothing but a grabbed, self-cen-
tered, sour little creature, more selfish
and more oblivious OF other peoples IN
terests than any thoughtless young per-
son I ever knew.
What a tragedy!
For where will that woman find friends?

Youth ought to respect and be kind to

theories.
Now, you and 1 and all of us are grow
ing old. Unless an all-powerful some
thing intervenes-an Intervention which
most of us do not like to contemplate
we are going to be old in a comparatively
few years.
Now, what kind of old folks are we 60
ing to be? l surely hope We will all be
the kind whom the young people love to
include among their friends but how can
we make sure of that?
Well, for one thing We can cultivate
our interest in other people; we can try
to grow more sympathetic and under
standing as the years go by; We can try
to broaden our intellectual interests, and,
above all, we can try to look on the
bright side of things.
The little old lady of whom l write was
huddled up in her house one bright spring
morning, brooding over her troubles,
when one of her neighbors called to her,
Come out to walk with me and forget
your troubles Il don't want to forget
them.'' said the unhappy little creature
Il love to brood over my troubles"
And yet that woman probably wonders
why she doesn't have more friends!
Let's not prepare for that kind of an
old age.

will bulge or bow a little instead of cling
ing to the neck.
Since skirts are narrow they wear
out very quickly at the lower edge. and
many are using braid-the Old-fashioned
kind-as a protection.
Since the demand is created manrfac-
turers are getting out a strong. durable
mercerized braid that will give better
service than the mohair.
With the return OF the high shoe for
winter wear the skirts viii fray more than
ever. so II will be wiseto protect them
with braid, using the best Of its kind.

AS some of the evening gowns have

length. Very long gloves will be worn.
The afternoon and street dresses have
long sleeves. trimmed with lace at the
wrist. almost covering the hand; in that
case short gloves are necessary.

Summer Been Successful In Every
way.

This deservedly popular summer
hotel at South Harpswell brought its
season to a close on Tuesday of this
week. The season, although not up
to the mark set last year, was a most
successful one and fully up to the ay-
erage in every respect. The Merri-
coneag has a steady line OF patrons
from widely scattered parts of the
country, who have been coming there
year after year for many summers to
spend their vacations, and a slack
summer, such as the one Just past,
does not affect this sort of PATRONAGE
to any marked extent. Consequently
the Accommodations here have been
taxed to their capacity during the
busy part of the summer season by
visiting tourists. The transient trav-
el, although IL fell off considerably
from the mark of some years, was
nevertheless most gratifying and
many a summer traveller on his way
to resorts farther along the coast has
stopped of in Portland for a day and
made the trip to Harpswell to enjoy
one of manager r. A. Pierce's famous
shore dinners. These same dinners
have also attracted a great number of
tourists who have been making auto
mobile trips through the state. and
the beautiful ride down the Harpswell
Neck from Brunswick has proved an
enjoyable feature Of many a summer
vacation.

put mp by former Republican Sheriff
Trefethen to win the shrievalty this
