TO CURL PLuMEs

The present fashionable ostrich feather, although it is not so tightly curled as the old fashioned plume looks even more bedraggled and for lOrn when it Is out of curl than the old one did. Yet fOgs and mists or rains are as frequent as ever, and os- trich feathers are now worn at all times of the day and night, regardless of the weather. Plumetis feathers were put forward to fill the role of a feather which moisture would not change, but they do not take the place of the regulation ostrich feather
 There is only one thing to do if you wear ostrich feathers, and that is to learn how to curl them It is as good as impossible to send a feather to the rofessional cleaner to be curled every time there is a summer shower.
 When the moist hat wit h feather trimming is removed put it. if possible, near a fire. Heat often restores a good deal of the lost curl. When this is not possible let the feather dry thoroughly and then recurl it with nail file, the blunt edge of a knife or
 some other steel or silver blade which Is not sharp.
 Work with one or two of the fronds of the feather at a time. Catch them between the thumb and the blade near the stem of the feather and slowly and firmly draw the thumb and the blade along the fronds to the edge If necessary g O over some of the feath- CTS twice.
 1t is surprising how rapidly this curling can be done; and if it is care fully done after a little practice the feather will look quite as well as if it had been curled by a professional

COLOR EFFECTS.

"One of the secrets of always being well and suitably dressed" declares a famous dressnaker, lis to understand the effects that color has upon the spirit. and it is a thing which very few women take into account. 4 dress that Is becoming to one, in a certain mood, will be hopelessly unbecoming another time, For instance. a black evening frock is always smart, but don't don one when you are depressed or you will feel more so, You'll be a perfect signal of woe
 "A gray ffock OF a brown one will have much the same effect. but white has a soothing influence, A red eVen- ing gown really helps to brighten d dull occasion. and green is always cheerful also Don't put on a yellow gown unless you are feeling paftieu- larly we'll and if you are in exubera nt spirits a blue frocl< makes a delightful vision of you.
 T won't let my customers try on model frocks which I'm sure they might like ordinarily if they come to me jaded and tired. because I know that the color will not suit them at the moment A dainty sky blue crea- tion must not be pressed upon Wom- an who is worried and fatigue. She cannot see herself in 1t. or if she does she promptly loathes it, whereas an- other time when she comes in fresh and smiling she turns from gayer colors and selects the tender blue"

THE CITY APPROACHES.

The city that takes most interest in the country roads by which it is ap- preached and keeps them through it's Influence and aid in the best order gives to all who come to it by road evil dences of its being an up to date place governed by live men.
 Cities which allow poor country roads to be poor country roads un- til they are well within their borders, and that let the approaching cowpaths be cowpaths still till they reach the lighted district, have fur nished the evidences of their lack of enterprise that a blind man can sense and comprehend.
 The time is not so far distant when traffic automobiles will bring most of the supplies to market and shipping points.and that city which has the best approaching roads will be the city that will be a popular center and grow.
 The network of roads to any city may be a credit to it or a shame and a detriment. Norwich has considerable to do to make hers all to her credit

WILL AUGUST BE A FOUL MONTH.

The Astrological Research society desires to determine what the moon has to do with the weather Wheth- CT the old tradition that whenever a new moon falls on Saturday that the following weeks will be wet and windy.
 Dr. Forster, who was the famed me- teerelegist at Burges, deelared in the Athenaeum of February 1fth, 1S49, that by journals kept by his grand father his father and himself, ever since 17eT, it was shown that when ever the new moon has fallen on a Saturday that nineteen cut of twenty of the following days were wet and windy"
 A writer in the Illustrated Lendon News of Sept. 5th 1898, stated that he heard the same theory steutly defend- ed among farmers and peasants In Scotland, Ireland. and the neFth of England and also In the course of seafaring life he had heard if eem= mented on by American French and Spanish seamen. and even by Chi= nese pilot who was once doing duty aboard his vessel,
 Dr. Allen of this society states that so far as he knows there Is no reeog- nized rule of astrological divinatien which would warrant forecasting the weather or other mundane events by reference to the day of the week upon which the new moon or any other ce- lestial phenomena might transpire, But he insists that if it can be proven that a rainy spell invariably follows the falling of a new moon on Sat urday that such fact would be re- garded by him as prima-facie evi- dence that there must be involved a law whose method and operations it will be matter of vital interest to set about the task of discCv ering.
 Let us hope the society will succeed in determining whether this is a fact or simply a superstition.

WARNINGS OF DANGER.

The auto-horn was designed to give warnings of danger. but it has been given so many differen. sounds and come to be such a plaything that it is not serving it's purpose.
 There is question whether a nerve wracking screech or musical sound is the best sound to warn peo- nle of peril but it is generally agreed that a great variety of sounds con fuses rather than warns the pedes- trian.
 Street Commissioner James A. Gal livan of Boston advocates a law pro- hibiting the use of auto horns except as warnings of danger.
 Several states and some twenty cit ies have put restrictions upon the use of auto-h horns so that their real pur- pose may be made more effective.
 The chauffeur who makes a play thing of the auto horn is too much of a child to be permitted to drive one
