One of the Topeka dry goods stores,
which la noted for its pretty lingerie,
has one counter where nothing is shown
but French lingerie. It is all hand
made and trimmed -with yards and
yards of the finest lace; the material
used is of the sheerest, the tucks are
of the finest, and the ruffles, the fluffi
est. Many of the garments are em
broidered by hand in white linen, in
conventional or scroll design.
The beading is run with the daintiest
of ribbons. For the past year or two
colored ribbons in lingeries have been
the rage, and one noticeable feature of
this department is that the ribbon is all
white instead of colored. Of course, the
corset shown here is of the short
French make; one especially pretty one
Is of white batiste, embroidered with a
profusion of tiny purple violets. The
cost of these garments is beyond the
reach of the woman with the limited
purse, but it will do her good just to go
and look at them even if she canont
buy.
The "Baby's Department"
All of the larger Topeka stores have
put In "baby departments," which are
a boon to mothers as well as the fond
sisters, aunts and cousins who wish to
make offerings to the little new comers
and are inexperienced with the needle.
The mother who is inexperienced, or
the one who has neither the time nor
Inclination to make her baby's clothes,
may go to these dpartments, and for
a comparatively small outlay of money,
buy a charming outfit for the little one.
There is the basket with all its ac
cessories, except the little individual
touches, which must be added by the
mother. There is the dainty lingerie,
rutfled and tucked and trimmed with
the finest of laces and embroideries;
the tiny dresses, the caps, the coats,
shoes, stockings, and, in fact, every
thing a baby may need from the time
of its arrival, until it is several years
old.
Most of these garments are machine
made, but it is possible to buy the
hand made, though it is much more
expensive.
The Amethyst Popular.
At last the much abused turquoise
will have to step down and out, for it
has been supplanted by the amethyst,
so says the clerk in the Jewelry depart
ment of one of the leading- dry goods
stores. For the past year the imitation
turquoise has been the rage: it has
been utilized for stick pins, hair orna
ments, belt pins and buckles, and has
becorte so common that the well dress
ed woman will no longer wear it.
And now the imitation amethyst has
its inning. Some exquisitely pretty
ones are being shown in the stores in
the shape of belt pins, and, of course,
the stick pins and other ornaments wiil
soon follow. The price asked for them
is moderate and the best part of it is
that they have not yet become common
as they have only been brought out
within the past few days.
Hat Wrinkles.
MOST "WOMEN HAVE THEM.
Dorothea stopped short in front of a
show window, and earnestly examined
its contents. There was a wax figure
with hair dyed a beautiful bronzed au
burn, waved in immaculate circles; a
smaller head, crowned with dark hair
and one startling grey lock; a hideous
photograph of a face all puckered up on
one side and hideously placid on the
other. Beside a lot of implements of
torture. -and no end of healing lotions
and salves in rubber-necked bottles and
Jars, says a writer in the Denver Post.
Dorothea knew everything in the win
dow by heart she had passed it dozens
of times but it was like the first at
tempt at going into a pawnshop; she
studied the window, warily watching
the passers-by to see if they suspected
her purpose.
"I do hate to give in. I'm not getting
old, but those abominable wrinkles are
beginning to come, and I must stop
them." And the coast being clear, she
opened the door with a frantic clutch,
closing it after 'her with decided relief.
Madame was very reassuring. She
touched the offending creases with sym
pathetic fingers; under her long smooth
strokes and soft little pats and pulls,
every trace of a wrinkle disappeared for
the time being.
"They are only hat wrinkles, my dear.
Tou are much too young for anv other.
There are dozens of ladies being" treated
for the same trouble. Talk about 'hold
ing on by the skin of one's teeth!' whv
nine out of ten women hold their na
ture hats on by their eye-brows! The
hat sets lightly on the head, and locks
like a dream before the mirror but out
on the street it is different.
"The motion of walking tilts it a trifle
to either side, or bobs it up and down
with every step. Tou wrinkle up your
scalp and your forehead to keep it
steady. In turning a corner the wind
catches the brim like a sail. Tou duck
your head and "squinny" up your eyes
in holding that hat on, and that's the
way you got the two vertical wrinkles
over your nose and the faint lines com
ing at the corners of your eyes.
"Men's sleek heads can be measured
In outline, and the crown of the hat

too. brought on by grimacing when the
veil doesn't feel comfortable. If the veil
sticks or gets askew the lower cheek
muscles are called into play to move it
over, and they crease up the flesh fright
fully in the course of time.
"The only thing you can do is to be as
particular as possible about the fit of
your hat, and make a point of massag
ing your face gently every day, with a
little cold cream, wiped away with a
piece of soft silk or chamois, and re
member that wrinkles, like the temper,
must not be rubbed the wrong way."
A Paris Novelty.
A Paris elegante has started a new
fashion which promises to achieve an
immense popularity, as it is sensible as
well as ornamental. She has had a tiny
silver doorknocker placed on the door
of every room m the house. These
knockers are generally made after old
Italian designs. The idea is that when
any one has occasion to knock at a
bedroom door it is better one should use
the knocker instead of the knuckles, as
the hand is apt to soil the paint. Chi

How to Stand Properly.
"I read much," says a middle-aged
woman whose erect, graceful carriage,
by-the-way, is noticeable, "of this, that.
and the other thing that should be done
in order to stand properly and Improve
the figure; but I never pay any atten
tion to any of the suggestions," says a
writer in Harper's Bazar. I have
never done but one thing in this matter.
and that is to follow the advice given to
me when I was a girl of sixteen by my
grandmother, whose stately mien was
the admiration of all her friends, and
which I could not hope to better or even
achieve. All that is needed, she used to
tell me, In order to stand well is to keep
the legs straight. Notice yourself a half
dozen times during the day, and you
will see how useful is this advice. Con
stantly the knees are too much bent.
The figure sags in consequence, and its
lines of elegance are lost. Straighten the
knees every time you think of it. and
the rest of the figure falls naturally in
the proper" position."
Will Visit in New York.
The "Fire-Laddie Princess," so they
say, is coming to New Tork this winter.
She is really a princess, being M;ie,
wife of Prince Waldemar of Denmark.
She is a great granddaughter of King
Louis Philippe and came very near be
ing a queen herself. Just after she was
married the Bulgarians invited her hus
band to come and be king. He wasn't
looking for trouble so he declined with
thanks, says a writer in the Sun.
Nobody else seeming to be in need of
a king and a queen lust then, Princess
Marie began to hunt for something els?
to occupy her. Her mother-in-law ami
sisters-in-law were already honorable
colonels of the all available regiments,

so military affarrs were not especially
available to the new princess. Chance
was good to her, however, and threw in
her way a stray book describing fire-
ngnting as it is practised in New Tork.
That settled it. Princess Marie trav
eled incognito to Berlin, Paris and Lon
don hunting for Yankee fire-fighting
machinery. The more she saw of engine
house heroes the more she pitied her
mother-in-law for being only the hon
orable colonel of a regiment. She her
self decided to be part and parcel of
the Copenhagen fire department ind
she did not have to ask any Uncle Cro
ker to let her in, either.
She set herself at work in right royal
earnest, Just as a princess should, to
supply Copenhagen with as near an ap
proach to the Yankee ideal of a fira
department as she could manage. Then
she attended drills and followed the fire
engines.
King Father-in-daw vetoed the drills,
at any rate, those of the common or
garden variety. But when it came to
parades, he could not keep the Fire-
Laddie Princess, as she was promptly
nicknamed, from being the leading fig
ure. jNeitner can he keep her from go
ing to fires. He has protested. So has
Prince Waldemar, who doesn't seem to
care any more tor running to fires than
for ruling Bulgaria.
In spite of their protests, the Fire
Laddie Princess seems to be informed
of a fire as soon as It breaks out. If
she is at her castle outside of the city
she gallops in on horseback. If she is
in town she takes a public cab. When
she goes on horseback she keeps her
mount until the fire is out, taking huge
delignt in galloping back and forth.
carrying orders from the chief to the
men.
Of course, the real fire laddies, as In
duty pound, like their special princess.
They also like the box of cigars which
she always orders sent to the engine
house when the fire Is over.
She is said to be a fine looking wo
man, slight but strong. New Tork'3
firemen will have a chance to form their
own opinion however, if present reports
be true. Their engine houses are the
Tankee mecca for the Fire-Laddie
Princess.
A Noted Huntress.
LADY DIXIE REPENTS.
Women do not seem likely to encroach
On at least one of man's pleasures, that
of hunting. The most celebrated shot
among English women has abandoned
hunting entirely and published a pamph
let on ' Tne Horrors or Sport.
She knows what she is talking about.
Her husband was an ardent hunter, but
she was such an enthusiast that his
shooting preserves did not satisfy her
and she would rent a Scottish moor or
of interlaced folds of felt and velvet,
deer forest for her own use. She was
called by her friends the female Nimrod
and her house was full of trophies of her
skill. Now she has taken up her pen
to decry her old weapon, the gun, says
a writer in the Sun.
Lady Florence Dixie Is this reformed
Nimrod. She has killed lions in Africa,
gazelles in Arabia, bears in the Rockies.
With her brother. Lord James Douglas,
she took a Journey through Patagonia.
A good many years ago another
brother. Lord Francis Douglas, lost his
life in the Alps. This intrepid woman
later climbed the very peak in whose
ascent he was killed. She says that few
men have done "a tithe of the hunting
I have done both at home and in for
eign lands;" so that her renunciation of
the sport seems to mean that here, at
any rate, women are not going to, con
test with men for privileges. She says:
"Many a keen sportsman will acknowl
edge that a feeling of self-reproach has
at times come over him as he has stood
by the dying victim of his skill. I know
that it has confronted me many and
many a time. j. nave Dent over my
taiien game ana seen tne beautiful eve
or tne aeer grow aim. 1 nave ended with
the sharp, yet merciful knife, the dying
sufferings of creatures that had never
harmed me. I, too, have witnessed the
angry, defiant glare of the wild beast
fading sight as death deprived him of
the power to wreak his vengeance on the
human being that had taken his free
life. The memory of those scenes brines
no pleasure to my mind. On the con
trary, it haunts me with a cruel re
proach, and I fain would that I had
never done those deeds of skill and
cruelty."
The Vanity of Man.
WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN
MEN.
When the temperature rises during-
the summer season and the mercury
seems bound to boil over the top of the
tube, men are compelled to acknowl
edge that woman, in spite of her much
criticised method of dress, teaches us a
valuable lesson upon this point. Look
at woman in hot weather; no matter
how hot it may be she looks cool. Al
though woman understands the art of
never looking the way she feels, it must
be acknowledged that she really is cool.
Man, on the other hand, looks like a
boiled lobster as soon as the thermome
ter chases upward a few points. Man,
with his underwear, stiff-front shirt,
waistcoat and coat, feels the way he
looks sticky, nasty, uncomfortable and
hot. Last season the "shirtwaist man''
made his appearance; then it was hop
ed that this year this method of dress
would become fashionable. However,
from present indications we will be
compelled to suffer as heretofore, says
a writer in the Sunday Chronicle.
Light, airy clothes are not only more
comfortable, but greatly improve the
general health. Woman suffers less
from colds, etc., than man. The per
centage of women who contract con
sumption is far less than that of men.
Women are physically superior to men
In every respect. Statistics show that
women outlive men. There is little
doubt that woman's superior vitality is
due as much to her sensible method of
dress as anything else. As little child
ren they are dressed lighter than their
brothers, and as years roll on man de
teriorates more and more. I firmly be
lieve that vanity alone prevents man
from wearing light clothes. The truth
is that he is ashamed to shed his pads.
After being broad shouldered all winter
it is rather embarrassing to appear in a
negligee shirt minus pads. Shroulder
padding has become such a universal
practice that a well-built athlete with 19
or 20 inch width of shoulders has to pad
in self-defense.
Fads and Fancies.
The newest hat pins include unusual
ly large openwork balls, topped with a
Jewel.
Pajamas in fancy and figured nain
sook are among the imported novelties.
In some of the patterns the figures are
of silk.
Some smart shirt waists In shep
herd's plaid, with black silk collar and
cuffs, are seen, and also Very pretty ef
fects In gray and white, gray and black
and red and white.
Dark blue spangled net is shown
made over silk of the same color, but It
is not likely that this shade will be
much favored for evening. Black chif
fon beautifully appliqued with gold
sequins and green silk floss makes up
handsomely.
Colonial gray is the newest of the
new tints of this very fashionable color.
It is not so becoming as it is novel, for
there is not a hint of either rose, cream
or fawn in the shade. Geranium. Turk
ish and flamingo reds are severally
used, among other colors employed, to
relieve gowns for the early autumn,
made wholly of colonial gray.
Scratch felt is the name given to some
of the new effects in beaver, and angora
represents ordinary felt overlaid with
raw silk veiled in maline. New garni
tures for millinery include white lace
appliqued with velvet figures ana
cream Venetian lace combined with
white and black taffeta. White or
cream Irish crochet lace is another nov
elty that will be used extensively on
evening and theater hats.
Pale pink panne velvet is the mate
rial made up into a smart stock. Com
bined with this Is a small turn-over of
white silk stitched with pink, a simple
turn-over finishing the front of the
stock, and with two stolelike tabs car
ried down the center of the front for an
inch or so. On the lower part of the
stock the velvet is plaited and carried
to the front, where there is a four-in-
hand knot and broad ends.
A King Edward stock is now shown
for women. It is made of peau de soie
In delicate hues. One of pink has a plain
stock of pink silk, finished with a turn
over of the same color. The King Ed
ward scarf is already tied in a bow
with short loops and long ends, but
diagonally at the bottom. Above the
bow eight white crocheted buttons have
been placed in a double vertical row, the
collar fastening in the back.
Prettv gowns for children made to
wear with guimpes have, some of them.
regular little short waists and others
stalght bands around the top and over
the arms, and all hand work. One gown
of an imported model Is made with a
short-waisted body with narrow bands
over the shoulders. It Is of a plain blue
wash material, the skirt finished with a
few tucks, and the only trimming on
the waist is a spray of flowers em
broidered across the front.
Taffeta is used in some of the newest
boas. One is described as being made
of two . strips, each four yards long,
twelve Inches wide and fringed all
around to the depth of a little more
than an Inch and is gathered twice
through the middle. One strip is black
and one white and the two are sewed
on a foundation of an inch-wide black
taffeta ribbon, twenty inches long.
Long ends are made of accordion-plaited
white moussellne de soie ruffled with
inch-wide black chantilly edge.
There is more and more attempt at
wearing smart gowns and evening
gowns to the theater, but the difficulty
has been to make gowns which were
distinctly evening gowns and yet suit
able to wear with hats to public res
taurants for dinner and to a big play
house to whiph the pub'ie is admitted.
Some of the smart English women how
in this country have solved the ploblem
by wearing evening blouses, low cut,
but with a big boa covering the neck.
They are quite suitable to be worn at
dinner with the hats, which are re
moved later at the theater. The smart
est American women have also adopted
this custom.
Although many of our modes tend
toward 'simplicity, never was more at
tention paid to detail, and what simplic
ity there is would seem to be due' to
art. Look at the chiffon dresses and
the wonderful colors which are set one
over the other, such as soft mauve over
pale rose color, veiled with white and
made over white silk. The effect is
beautiful, but certainly most studied.
The constant use of this soft material
leads to all the tuckings and gather
ings now so much In vogue and it lends
itself to the fichu draperies, the ar
rangement of which is a subtle art,
compassed by those who know best
how to use their fingers to advantage.
All such dresses have a narrow band
for waist belts, drawn down in the
front. Chicago News.

Some Appetizing Fish Salads.
Of all forms of meat, fish seems best
adaoted to a. salad in SDite of the dodu-
uarity of the chicken in combination with
salad materials.
The chicken calls for mayonnaise dress
insr and would lose much of its savori-
ness and mauancv if dressed only with
oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. On the
other hand the daintiest fish salad is
quite complete when served in this sweet
simplicity of manner, although it is just
as acceptable to many wun tne ricner

CELERY AND CABBAGE WITH SAL

better, often mars what is well.

Almost anything may be used to gar
nish a fish salad and the success depends
upon the taste and judgment ot the dec
orator. Hard boiled eggs are in order

With the French dressing let the gar
nishment be as simple as possible. Also
when a French dressing is used let it
stand, after mixing with the fish, for
some little time in a cold place to mari

If she is one of the favored daughters of wealth, If she belong
even to the realm of the "well-to-do," or if she belongs to the un
numbered thousands who must work in order to live the story U
just the samej all suffer front about the same cause, and in this suf
fering "peculiar to women," all reach the same level, and all are of tho
same family.
When a woman is nervous and Irritable, head and back ache, feels
tired all the time, loses sleep and appetite, has iins in groins, bearing
down sensation, whites and irregularities, she is not " worn, out," but
feels as if 6he were.
Such symptoms tell her that a womb trouble is imminent, and she
cannot act too promptly if she values her future comfort and happiness.
The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of
America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia 11. rinkham's
Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at once by remov
ing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy and normal condition.
If in doubt, write Mrs. I'inkham at Lynn, Mass., as thousands do.
Mrs. Pinkham Tells Mrs. Scott How to be Cured.
" Dear Mbs. Pittkhah : I have been for some years a great sufferer and
thought I would write and explain my case to you as you had helped so
many others. Menstruation is irreg-ular and very painful. I have suffered
With painful periods for ten years but the pains grow worse as I prow older.
" I suffer most with my back, lower part of abdomen and left hide. I have
been flowing1 all the month and a part of August, not constantly, but will
6top for two or three days and then beg-in again.
" The doctor says I have misplacement of the womb. I have bearing down
pains when passing- nrine, and my abdomen is very badly swollen and sore.
I'lease advise me at your earliest convenience." Maa. A. V. Scott, 21 l'age tit.,
Kingston, Pa. (Sept. 30, 1900.)
"Dear Mrs. Piskham : When I wrote to you asking advice no one
could describe my suffering. The doctors said 1 could not be relieved unless
I had an operation performed, but thanks to you and your medicine I got
along without having the dreaded operation. I have taken ten bottles of
vour medicine and am once more well and happy. .Lydia 12. I'iukbam's
Vegetable Compound is a fine medicine and a God-send to suffering'
women.- I trust my letter may be the means of bringing many of my suffer

Remember Mrs. Plnkham's advice Is free, and all sick women
are foolish if they do not ask for it. No other person has Much
