Dressy Tailor-Mades.
The light weight woolens are vastly
favored lor the dressier type of tailor
mades. and their possibilities are
c harmingly set forth »n one Imported
model. The material is a henrietta of
a faint shade of blue, and on this
there are clever touches that employ
with broadcloth and black velvet rib
bon with most piquant results. The
jacket is one of those smart little com
bination eton-bolero effects, that
While seeming to hug the figure close
ly still seem to stand away from it.
This is plaited back and front, the
plaits stitched down flat, and the
fronts rolled back in revers that are
faced with white cloth, the w’hole bor
dered all around with black velvet
ribbon. The same treatment is used
0,1 the sleeve, where a cuff seems to
support the fullness of the puff above
the elbow. The skirt Is plaited to the
band, the plaits stitched down in a
yoke form over this, and then falling
impressed to the hem. where a fanci
ful application of velvet ribbon com
pletes the trimming scheme.
Brilliant Colors Fashionable.
Brilliant colors arc* used in the* fash
ionable wardrobe. The new' fabrics in
rose, emerald, amethyst, pear red and
apple green afford a brilliant back
ground.
Embroidery in a variety of colors
trims many a gown, and there are
lovely embroidery strips that come for
the front of waists, for the wrists and
for the girdle—all clone in .Japanese
colors. Very often this embroidery is
so gay as to make the entire gown
look bright. Strips of handsome in
sertion are used upon many a surplice
or a serpentine blouse and the same
insertion goes around the wrist and
forms the girdle.
Turquoise Blue Messaline.
With yoke and bands of white lace
and tucks of the material.
Hand Embroidery.
Hand embroidery has changed a lit
tle with the season. It is not applied
so much in the form of applique ns
iu direct hand work upon the silk. You
can take a plain blue silk skirt and
coat und make it really elegant by
putting a few sprays of embroidery
ulion !t. This Is done all the time by
those who wish to dress handsomely.
Particularly arc* the* advantages of
hand work brought out in the getting
together of the bride’s trousseau. Here
when one is spending so much, a few
dollars will count for a great deal, and
one must, economize at all points. If
one can do one’s embroidery with the
help of a seamstress, just so much Is
saved.
Ivory Fans Back In Favor.
A tiny Ivory fan Is the latest form
or Parisian fancy and the girls are
hunting their family archives through
to find those that were fashionable
seventy years ago. Parents are pre
senting their daughters with mono
gram fans. A girl carries a small
silk fan of the folded variety and is In
the habit of opening it and laying It
ou her lap. and in tlie middle of the
fan her name will be seen most ex
quisitely presented on Hpeciully
wrought lace. Another idea Is a blue
linen fan with a monogram in the cen
ter of it embellished with a little cir
cle of green leaves. The appearance
Is very much as though it were a
medallion set Into the fan. And still
another fan Is made of taffetas. with
a worked medallion in the middle and
a lace ornament at each side.
Full Skirt to Continue.
The reign of the full skirt Is to con
tinue for som'* time to come appar
ently. hooking over a portfolio of
croquis, sketches sent over by Paris
designers. It was evident that It is
going to take just as appalling an
amount of dry goods to make the fall
gowns as it did last spring. Sleeves
are a little smaller, but skirts ex
tremely full. It must have been an
imaginative manufacturer of dress
materials who invented t’**
of stirrings between box plaits. Thnt

Cheap Fruit Cake.
One cup of sugar, lard the size of a
small egg. a little salt, teaspoon each
* of cinnamon, cloves and allspice, one
cup of molasses, one teaspoon of soda,
ore cup of warm or hot water, half a
pound of raisins, half a pound of
currants. Mix stiff enough for the
spoon to nearly stand up straight in
it. Bako slowly, it takes no butter
or eggs. Be sure to keep it closed In
a (in box or can. lu fact all fruit
cakes should be.
Suit of White Panama.
An exceedingly smart coat suit of
white Panama was recently worn by
a well-known society girl and attract
ed more than ord'nary attention The
coat, of the loose box type, fitted per
fectly in back and opened in front
I over an oddly pointed vest. There
were no decorations of any sort save
inset, pieces of American beauty red
velvet over the shoulders and cuffs of
same on sleeves. Stitched bands of
the material bordered the edge of coat
and Y'est. The skirt was walking
length and pluin.
Washing Knives Right.
Never put the handle of knives Into
the water, for thus the handle would
he discolored and the blade loosened, s
Instead dip eaeli blade into hot water i
with soda and dry it at once. Another 1
method is to have a large tin or basin i
with a tin or wooden cover. In the
, cover slits are cut. through which tlie
blades of the knives pass to the <
water, while their handles rest on the <
top. ;

Winter Sbirt Waists
Heavy linen shirt waists a being
made up now for winter wear, some
of them severely plain and worn with
the new stiff cellars—a cross between
stiff mannish collars and lingerie
stocks that is charming. There are.
of course, albatross—plenty of white
ones, and plenty of colored ones, too —
and voile and the whole 'range of
light weight woolen stub with
enough warmth in them for < v. n the
chilliest. Some of them liave at
tached collars; others are worn with
embroidered collars and stiff little
ties, or with plain collars and em
broidered ties, or both tie and collar
embroidered.

An Afternoon Gown.
The design in Alice blue radium
silk makes a most atfractive after
noon gown. The plaited skirt is made
with a yoke and deep girdle, the latter
giving the popular princess 3 effect, t
The bodice opens over a front of
white silk mousseline and real Valen
ciennes insertion and the deep point
ed collar and turned duffs on sleeves
are edged wtih a finely plaited ruffle
of the silk. Cut steel buttons and a
large bow of black velvet ribbon are
used as trimming.
Lining for Evening Coats.
A pretty idea has come up in the
lining of evening coats, which is the
use of the most elaborately flowered
Japanese silks. Some of the summer
so-called dust coats which have been
made of colored pongees, if lined in
this way, are pretty enough to be
worn for evening, especially if strong
shades are chosen, and the [colored
laces used for trimming, and it is a
suggestion that these silks are pretty
enough and have warmth enough to
make ideal evening and theater coats
where the lesser expense is an* object.

WHIMS OF WORLD'S GREAT ONED
Men of Genius Who Have Been Noted
for Their Eccentricity.
The iren of genius w hose works aie
among the wg ‘ld’s most precious pos
sessions have ever been the most
eccentric of the most normal of man
kind, says W. H. Cotton. All readers
of “Romola” will remember Pier! di *
Coslmo, that misanthropic painter
who lived completely isolated from
his fellows in his queer, squalid stu
dio, with its garden of weeds and flow
ers growing rankly as they willed*
because he preferred them so; his It.
onl» companions toads, rabbits,
der:; and even more loathsome crea
tures; his diet consisting wholly of
eggs, hard-boiled, by the dozen and
eaten when required, no matter what
condition. Goya, the Spanish Rem
brandt, was the wildest and most iras
cible of men. When he was painting
the portrait of the Duke of Wellington
he kept the hero of Waterloo in a
rigid attitude for hours, at the least
movement threatening him with a
dagger, and when the duke complain
ed of weariness the painter seized a
plaster cast and hurled it at his head.
Michael Angelo’s method of working
was one of his greatest eccentricities.
Often he would get up in the middle
of the night to hack and hew his
marble by the light of a single candle
fastened to the visor of his cap. and
then, worn by his great labors, he
would throw himself down to sleep
again without removing his clothing
or his shoes —sometimes keeping the
latter on so long that when they were
removed the flesh came off with the
stockings. It is generally credited
that at one time a year passed in
which he never once removed his
shoes. —Leslie’s Weekly.
CLOTHES FOR All OCCASIONS.
Woman Who Has Them a Rarity
a Relief, Says an Exchange.
She’s such a relief to meet witL —
the woman who always has her cloth
es ready for finy occasion she may be
invited to, and she’s almost as great
a rarity.
When the seasons change she puts
her mind upon the subject of clothes
with a will, and quietly decides just
what she will get to carry her through
the whole season. Then as quietly,
and as surely, she gets eacb •‘hirg, so
tnat by the time half her world is
rushing around trying to get some
thing made in time for this affair or
for that she is ready with everything
—ready to accept those invitations to
delightful affairs planned on the spur
of the moment —thing that there isn’t
time to get something made for.
The result is she’s never hurried,
nor its almost invariable accompani
ment. flurried.
Probably she doesn’t get many *
clothes, and the friends who have
closets and wardrobes filled to over
flowing, yet who complain so bitterly <
that they've nothing ready to wear, or
not exactly the right thing, find her
almost provoking in her serene read
iness. -v
But it was hard work in the first
place, for choosing a few things that 4
will suit all occasions, and yet give
you a few changes, isn’t easy by any
means, and requires u mighty clever
manager.
But, she’s such a relief to invite
anywhere!—San Francisco, Cal.
Women and Economy.
Women, as a class, have most un
certain ideas on the subject of econ
omy, avers M. A. P. They define the
word simply as the not spending of
money, and associate it chiefly with
straitened circumstances. But econ
omy means administration, the clev
erest way of spending one’s money,
whether one’s allowance is $250 or
$25,000. In either case, the following
rules hold good: 1. Pay ready money
for everything. 2. Never spend any
thing without well considering 'if the
article in question is a necessity. Will
it be valued twenty-four hours after
purchase? 3. Always leave a margin
—that is to say, always live within
your income. 4. Keep accounts; even
the record cf a penny account book
acts as a check on one’s expenditure.
The secret of true economy is Double*
taking; laziness and extravagance ar«
ajTt to go hand in hand.
Children Taught to Swim.
At this period of the year, wheu so
rj*ny drowning accidents occur, the

Schools Swimming Association pos
sesses special interest. The organiza

affiliated to it nearly 1,000 schools.
The branches are spread all over Lon
don. and every year about 5,000 cer
tificates are issued to boys who can
swim 100 yards, gnd to girls who can
tfwlm fifty yards. No fewer than 60.-
000 children are taken to the baths
rrery week and instructed in nwtm
