A SCARF and bag made to match
"a chic midsummer hat are more
effective than scarf and bag that
are selected without much reference
to the hat Hat and bag and parasol
to match, made a combination that
early in the present season, marked
one Of it's successes. A set of this
kind for the promenade, or for the
short journey, is in the outfit of many
smart dresser whose discriminating
taste is matter of intuition and edu-
cation combined.
For threse three-piece sets for the
promenade taffeta silk has been
chosen, but in threepiece set like
that shown in the picture the scarf
requires a softer fabric. Pink silk
crepe in which poppies and their foil
age are woven in shades of pink and
green and white is the material used
The flowers are as wonderfully pic
tured as if done by the cunning brush
of flower painter instead of the
equally wonderful weaving Of the silk
looms. The scarf is two yards long
and three-quarters wide, lined with
white silk crepe. It's edges are fin

ished with hemstitching and the ends
are gathered into double tassels with
double square medallions of silk braid
into which the raw ends of the scarf
are thrust and sewed.
The bag Is made with circular
piece of stiff canvas or buckram two
inches in diameter, covered with the
crepe, used for the bottom. The fig
ured crepe is hued with the same ma
teral as the scarf and fastened into
frames which are bought for the pur-
pose A big butterfly of embroidery
and chiffon adorns one side of it, with
a poppy and foliage appearing on the
opposite side. The bottom has two
silk tassels sewed to it,
The hat has pulled crown Of the
silk crepe, turned-up brim Of hemp
and coronet of jetted horsehair lace.
1t is decorated with collar Of pink,
double-faced MORE ribbon and a pair
of small wings on stem made or
feathers, spangled with Jet sequins.
A set of this kind is very useful
with the light gowns Of summertime.

TRIUMPHANT in the realm of foot
] wear are the Colonial pumps, and
they deserve all the admiration they
have received at the hands Of appre-
ciative women. This appreciation is
of a very substantial kind, since we'll
made pumps bring from Sc to Sill
a pair. They are marYels of fit and
shapeliness and comfort, and have 9th
er features to recommend them to all
those who are growing more and more
exacting as to their footwear.
First is their splendid style, and
then their adaptability to occasions.
The same pair of pumps, finished with
a plain, dull black buckle, which does
duty for the morning walk, the shop
ping tour and utility wear in gen
eral, by a change Of buckles, shines
otherwhere as well. Several sets Of
buckles to one pair Of pumps help out
wonderfully. Small, cut steel ones,
mounted on a tiny fat bow, become
the visiting gown, and for the tango
tea large and somewhat Shower steel
buckles are appropriately adopted
In the illustration given here one Of
the number with small straps and
body Of the shoe in patent leather with
yamp in a dull finish shows how
we'll two different feathers look when
combined. This vamp is more COM
Portable and cooler than an allpatent-
leather shoe. The management OF the
straps allows the proper adjustment
of the shoe without too much incurv-
ing at the back.
There is among the wonderful vari-
ETY. of patterns in which Colonial
pumps are made shoe suited to
every foot. And there is nothing else
In which the foot looks quite SO at
tractiTefy dressed.

Sprays of flowers, with woody
stems, such as roses, lilacs, etc.,
should have half an inch Of the bark
stripped off before putting them in
water. Sappy stems, such as tulips,
hyacinths, etc, should have their
stems cut crosswise about half an
inch. BY such means the water
reaches the stems more quickly and
the flowers will keep fresh longer.

Saves the handa.

Dutch women have a clever scheme
for saving the hands when blackening
the stove.
Before touching the stove they lath-
er their hands with soap and allow the
lather to dry before they begin the
blackening process.
The soap prevents the blackening
from adhering to the fingers.

The good-looking and substantial
boot also shown in the picture Is for
those who undertake all sorts OF ex-
cursons in walking, mountain climb
ing. and travelling, or those who like
a plain and substantial and altogether
comfortable shoe for daily wear. 1t Is
made with kid vamp and cloth uppers,
and may be had in combinations Of
leather. The sole is fairly heavy and
has a small extension; the heel is low.
In keeping with its general character
the stitching of the parts together
makes its only decoration.
This particular shoe was designed
for the miss, but it is SO similar in
character to the shoe for grown-ups
which answers the purposes described,
that there is no apparent difference
in them. JULIA BoTToMLEY.

CHICAGO GRAINS LOWER
Wheat and Oats Decline
Corn Splits Changes.

Chicago, Oct. 22,-Wheat sagged In
price to-day, influenced by a lull in
export demand The market closed un-
settled, &c to 7sc under last night
Corn finished &c to sc off to hc up,
oats sc down and provisions at an
advance of sc to 25c. Wheat in the
beginning showed a tendency to rise,
but sentiment quickly changed, The
fact was soon apparent that the
urgency of European buyers had been
lessened to a material extent and that
purchasing on transatlantic account
would not be Of large proportions for
the time being, except after decided
breaks in the market price. Bulls
were also handicapped by dispatches
from the Northwest saying that farm
ers had been selling more freely.
On the decline exporters here took
100000 bushels of wheat and did con-
siderable buying at other centres.
