"Paris, Sept. 17.-Onc hears now, more

of Brussels lace tlat was rather short at
the Inner seam, hut gradually dipped to
six inches at the elbows.
A stunning Mark and white toilet tlat
I taw at one of the sluips on the rue de
la Pal. monsieur cxilnlned, was made
under protest, for he iielstcd that it was
too Colorless for a dinner gown. Dinner
gowns, lie said, should be made of bright
rose colors, bright yiilows and the colors
that one would clioose for lamp shades
colors that would glow in lamplight.
If florid people, he said, objected to tl
warmer colors coming incontact with their
faces, tlien tbe errect mlctiL be toned down
by chotix. and rufrs of cream lace.
The skirt of this Macs, and white toilet
that I admired was made or white sjlin,
"with a striking! large dcMgn in black
crescents. It was nther a full, plain
godet, with all the fullness thrown to the
back. The bodice was or plmn white

over red taffeta-silk. The skirt was a

Another dressier house gown was built
cf almond nun's veiling with a design in

lining of Lright green silk, and at the bot
mii there was a rutfle of silk under a fi.il
ruffle of the nun's veiling that gave a

The bodice was a full blouse of bright

Fillips Which Will Tempt the Most
Jaded Appetite.
As warm weather wears on to Its close
tl ere i-oines a trying time ror the house
keeper. She catches hernir wishing that
the butcher might discover a new cut
or the garden produce sometliing never
before tasted in the wa of .egetatih or
fruit. When this exigency arises, and there
seems no pleasing tlie family's flagging
appetite, a savory will fit In exactly.
There are many delicious preparations
cif ooked cliiesc tliat may be eaten with
out rear of the indigestion which is by
many people invariably associated with
it. If a box of bicarbonate of potash
which may be Ixjughtby the ounce at the
druggists, is kept in the kitchen closet
and used as much as a matter of course
as salt, all will he well For an ordinary
dish of cueese as much of the jiotash as
will cover a ten cent piece will remove
Mil suspicion of Indlgeslibillty and not
ini rfcre In the least with the flavor.
One of the most popular cheese pre
paraiions is a fondu co kid In small earth
enware dishes. It is made as follows
To a quarter of a pound (about a large
tcacupfu!) of grated cheese add halt a
small teacupful of milk. In which Is Uis
soluil as much jiowdcrcd bicarrjonate of
potash as will cover a len cent piece, with
mustard, pepper and salt to taste, and if
liked a sprinkling of thyme. Heat this
until the cheese is evenly melted, then
slir in three eggs, jolks well blended, anil
iiake m a moderate oven until nearly solid
It would look like a Scft. La ted custard
This dish may Le enhanced by adding a
teacupful of the crumtw of a stale lo.iT,
!r the bread ued is rresh the rmxlu will be
a failure, hut the dry crumbs add lightness
Many peop'e wild have round cheese like
poison to tl em will find this rcclK? digesti

It Is a curious fact that the bicarbonate
it potash restores to trilk the' elements
thatare lost li standing, therefore, where.
as rarely happens, new tciltis-obtainable.

also well worth calling to trind that In this

or a suspicious noise on the ixirch is heard,
and gemrally get up and looks under the
bed. and In the closet ror the second time
to make sure that no evil-eycM thief is
hiding around. A short time ago a night
watchman told her that the most tellable
safeguard against burglars was simrly to
place a stick between ahe. lower window
and the sash ahote. wjiich she did with
much satlsfactloif. A few nights ago
her daughter heard a crash from her
mother's room and calletl to her in s()rr,e
alarm, but, receiving no answer, hurried
to her mom, certain that a burglar had
entered and that her mother had either
fainted or was frightened to ileath.
The bed wasomptyandujbarglar waslo
be seen, but to her horror she saw her
mother lying head downward over the
sewmgmachlnbytlie window. Thcdaugh
ter was faint ad weak, but had enough
sclf-posszssloh. lef tto know that her mother
had profcably fainted or was killed from
fright and that tho first thing to he done
was to tsvryher to heal and rush for the
doctor. She threw her arms about the
prostrate body preparatory to carrying It
to tbe bed. when the mother sprang to her
feet with screams of "Help, fire, murder,
burglars!" till the housj rang-
It was several minutes arter they both
sat, on the bed and composed themselves
enough to learn wliat was the trouble, and
then It was found that after retiring the
mother was afraid the stick in the window
was not secure and arose to fit it, but
the stick slipped and fell tehlnd the sew
ing machine with a noise that awoke the
daugliter.and she wassimply renchingovcr
the machine ror it when she was seized
aroWd the waist by tbe burglar she had
long expected. It Is needless to add that
two sticks Instead or one will hereafter
keep tliat window secure.

Striking in Effect.
Late Importations or autumn and winter
dress materials shuw some stunning novel
tiesln color and design. A fewplaiu cloths,
raced cloths, as the tailors call them, ure
seen, but they no longer have the first
place, as last winter, in fashionable favor.
The in w stuffs are flowered, ribbed, striped,
checked and plild, or else are in eccentrio
weaves; some showing changeable color
effects that are very handsome. The ze
bcllce novelties arc especially In-nuttful.
The new makes in these cloths are even
lighter In weight and more silky to tbe
touch than tbosjof last year; indeed all of
tbenewstuffsluok aiir manufacturers had
this lightness of weight In mind as well
. thickness and warmth-
The reform was badly needed, ror since
the era or crinoline and wide skirts, with
the old heavy stuffs, tbe weight of a
modish winter gown bus been a serious
drawback tothepaa;e and health of many
women. There Is one reason perhaps that
plain cloths are going out. They could
nut be made as light weight as rough or
dinging textures, and so are to be put
on ute slnMr wilj me stoat haircloths am,

green and blue coloring, first confined
to hat trimmings and tafft.i shut waita.
threatens to be a marked featurcor many
of the winter modes.
In numliers of the wool materials it is
even sifn in combination with several other
'hades, as a background for checks or
plai'ls. or showing in even mixtures.
The result is fascinatingly novel and. as
