New York Fashion Notes


Colors in all their beauty prevail this season, and costumes in a var iety Of models appear, from the Grecian to the Egyptian, says our correspondent. The girl of today selects no less than a Cleopatra for a model and We must not forget the short full dress of the Victorian period. But still there are those of us who cling to simpler styles and the shirt waist and tailored costume hold their own. The shirt waist is one of the most useful garments in the wardrobe of every spick and span woman. It practically answers all occasions, except those strictly formal. For this latter blouse of white filet net over chiffon is most appropriate. Upon the chiffon foun- dation can be stitched bands of rib bon. An Alice blue girdle will add the note of color. Crepe de chine is the most appropriate of ma terials, being neither too tailored for afternoon wear nor too dressy for morning. Strictly tailored and excellent for the sportswoman is the blouse of gray lawn trimmed with white pique. It could be made with high stock which if necessary can be opened to admit even more air. White pearl buttons, eyeletted, make excellent commentators for both tailored trimming and the front fastening.
 The new neckwear is unusually attractive. The large Puritan or Quaker collars represent the newest fad. These collars are plain and tailored in effect with picot or hem stitched edges, and are made of lin en or sheer material.
 Combination fichu and collar ar engagements, covering almost the en- tire bodice, are made up in fine sheer lace, net, etc., and some of the models are exceedingly quaint and attractive. The plaited frill is much in evidence too. There are frills of lace, frills of linen, lace trimmed; frills of white with mar row borders or cOlors; frills of color, bordered with white; frills of black tulle, in fact frills of every kind and description. There is new tendency to introduce color It is introduced in inset bands of pink or orchid.
 Shoes of a fancy style play an important part in dress accessories.

SOFT ELBOWS.

If you wish to have soft elbows they must be taken care of. Don't use them as props" This will make the skin hard and rough.
 Each night scrub the arms and el- bows with hot water, hand brush and plenty of good soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly, then massage good cream into the skin. Allow a DOT tion of it to remain on over night to become absorbed in the skin. Continue this treatment until the el- bows are soft and smooth. After the elbows are once put in good con- dition it will not take much time to keep them that way.

THE FRUITS TO EAT.

The value of apples cannot be overlooked in a laxative diet list for children. They should be given either stewed or baked at first, and can be fed with safety after eight cen months of age. Later on they will be taken with relish when scraped Dates and figs will be eaten with benefit by children of four or five who have an average digestion.
 In case of obstinate constipation. the juice of canned pineapple is in valuable; this should be fed on an empty stomach three or four times a day; as much as is needed can be given without fear of disturbing the digestion.
 Bananas are the only fruit which have a tendency to cOnstipate. Fresh vegetables have a laxative effect. Oatmeal and cream at breakfast, two or more green vegetables at dinner, stewed fruit at supper, whole wheat or graham bread plentifully spread with butter at all meals, and fruit juices as indicated. With such diet as this, constipation among children would rapidly become a thing of the past.

. q . o . . q q Q Q q e n Q Q
 There are two deplorable extremes, into one of which a young girl often falls on receiving her first offer The worst or more frequent of these is that of fancying herself in love. when. in reality, she doesn't care q fig for the man who has declared himself. The other consists of a coquettish pride. which leads her, against the dictates of her heart, to reject a suitor however worthy.
 When an honest man offers wo- man his hand, with all accompani- ments of heart and fortune-wheth- CT these be exalted or lowly-he pays her the highest compliment in his power. Undeniably she has right to feel complimented, and she must be untrue to her womanhood does she not in some measure feel so, even though her suitor be be meath her regard. but the compliment will be valued very much in pro- portion to her estimation of the man.
 Many a woman has blighted her own life and that of the man she loved by indulging in a passion for coquetry. Having charms, of which she is fully conscious, she proudly measures her power and says to her self, II am equal to great conquests, and shall l thus easily submit to be conquered? No! When I have had a surfeit of proposals, then--''
 But the time referred to in the long futurity of the little word then seldom comes to the coquette It will always be then" The ac- cepted time is never near when once we have let the opportunity pass.
 At eighteen the coquette asks, Who is he?" At twenty eight, Where is he?" My dear young lady, when you receive your first offer" be not so flattered or self deceived as either to accept or re- ject without careful deliberation Don't imagine that this is the last chance" you will ever have; neither. for the sake of flirting, throw it away.

TANANA INDIANS
 EXPLAIN NEEDS

Panama Indians are opposed to being placed on a reservation. This was the unanimous sentiment eX pressed by ten Indian chiefs and some other Indians. at conferences held between them. on the one side and Delegate Wickersham. Commis sioner Riggs. C. w. Ritchie and H. J. Atwell, both of the general land office, and the Rev. Guy H. Ma dara of Cinema, on the other side Monday and Tuesday at the library
 The conferences were at the re- quest of the Indians, who want to know if the government can do anything for them to make up for the losses to their hunting grounds that will follow the building of the railroad. It was pointed out by them that the war in Europe had destroyed the fur market and that they are finding less and less means of supporting themselves.
 IL SeelllS lIldl lHt lluldHS al ldN orable to being segregated and plac- ed on lands that may be allotted to them by the government, but they declared that the reservation idea is not good, as they believed that it means more or less limitation to their personal liberties. They also asked that they be given a chance to bid on contracts for cutting ties for the railroad and for doing other kinds of work
 Paul Williams, an educated na- tive, served as interpreter for the he favored the establishment of an industrial training school for the na- tives in Alaska. Delegate Wicker sham promised to work for the es- tablishment of such school when congress convenes again.
 The statements made by the In dians and the federal officials were taken down in shorthand. Tue stenographic work at the meeting Monday was done by G. c. Cramer of the Alaskan Engineering Com mission, and at the Tuesday confer ence it was done by Mrs. Harry Averill The full report will be used in presenting the request of the Indians to the government off cials at Washington.

RULES FOR JAM MAKING.

1.-Use only fruit which has been gathered dry Wet fruit prevents the jam from keeping and is cause of mold.
 Fruit should be boiled almost immediately after it is gathered.
 3.-Always use the best sugar and in the right proportions. Cheap sugar is unsatisfactory, and does not result in any saving.
 As a general rule l lb. of fruit requires 1 lb. of sugar. but this varies slightly with the amount and the kind of fruit.
 5.-Use a copper or chinalined pan. and stir with a wooden spoon.
 6.-The fruit must be boiled quick ly and stirred frequently if the col or and flavor are to be of the best.
 7.-Over-boiling destroys both color and flavor Twenty minutes to half an hour is long enough to boil most jams.
 8.-Store, if possible in glass bot ties. so that any signs of fermenta- tion or mold can be easily detected.
 9.-Jam must be stored in a cool, dry cupboard.

HOW TO GET RID OF AFFLlC- { TON, A SPRING COLD'
. . . . . . . q . . o

Alas that spring, most beautiful season of all the year should be also the season of that meanest affliction the flesh is heir to-colG- in-the-head. Almost every other per son one meets has a cold, or has had a cold, or feels positively cer- tain that he-or she-is coming down with cold" It is change able weather that receives the blame but it is not really the changeab!e weather so much as changeable furnace or stove heat that must be blamed
 Don't sit in a room that feels chilly particularly if you are the least bit tired, for it is then that colds most easily attack you.
 If the chilly feeling has occurred and your throat feels raw and raspv strike at that lowering cold at once don't wait for the influenza symp- toms or the tight sensation in your chest Take a hot bath and a hot lemonade. Then get into bed with hot water bottle and stay there until you break out into a profuse precipitation.
 Remain indoors for twelve hours more, eating lightly and keeping well wrapped up, and the threatened cold will have taken to itself wings and you will fell all the better for the rest in bed.

DETOUR ROUTE BAN
GQR TO BAR AARB0R
(Bangor Commercially

Under the direction of Paul D. Sar-
gent of Augusta, chief engineer for
the Maine Highway commission, a
crew Of engineers have commenced
work N the repairs to be made on the
direct automobile route from Bangor
to Bar Harbor. Actual reconstruction
work was commenced Monday morn
ing in the town of Holden by a crew
Of MEN, and it is announced that crews
will be placed at work in Dedham and
at other points along the route during
the latter part of the present week.
The detour route which will be used
during the repairs, is to be plainly
marked by a large sign on the steel
bridge ger the Pcnobscot river be-
tween Bangor and Brewer giving au-
tomohilSts directions tor following the
route. The Bangor Automobile asso-
citation is to mark Immediately all
turns SO that the way will be clearly
designated.
After leaving the bridge at the
Brewer end automobilists proceed to
the top Of the hill. and then turn sharp
left into the river road. which is fol-
lowed TO E'Gdngton Bend. turning
right into and through East Edding-
ton village into Clifton. From Clifton
the rnad goes to Otis Corner, thence
into. the limits Of Ellsworth, where the
Union river is crossed and along into
Ellsworth Falls where the road cross
cs the railroad tracks, thence into the
main road from Bangor 10 Bar Har-
hor. From Ellsworth Falls to Bar
Harbor there is an excellent auton,o-
bile road.
By the detour route the road is in
very much better condition than by
the direct way, and if .utomobilists
know how much better it is they will
go that way now in preference to the
direct route although the latter has
not been closed to traffic yet.
