FACTS ABOUT VEILS.
6oine of (lie Mistakes Hade by Bayers
Who Are Very Carefal In
Other Tilings.
Let a word be said here with regard
to veilings, comments the Philadelphia
Inquirer. The counters offer many
temptations to a woman to buy at
haste and repent at leisure over the
ring-streaked and striped tissues'that
flutter before their eyes. There is a
really pretty whim in the way of shot
veiling that goes right to the femi
nine heart, also a white tissue, show
ing dots in groups, and a smart twine
brown gauze, that has a white waving
cord run through its width from sel
vage to selvage. All these, however,
should be admired from a respectful
distance. Only the very young girls
with strong eyes can wear them with
impunity.
After her twenty-fifth birthday a
woman should buy her veils thought
fully, and matrons can scarcely be
too painstaking in this respect. Noth
ing so contributes to the weaving of
little wrinkles about the eyes as a veil
with many and small spots. A constant
though unconscious effort is being
made by the human lenses to get a
proper focus through such a speckled
mist, and by reason of steady concen
tration of muscles provoked about the
lids the cobwebby tracings are pen
ciled in.
Put a pair of the most lustrous eyes
constantly behind a veil of chiffon
thickness and the result will be a slow
but none the less sure extinction of
that liquid bright quality a healthy
pair of orbs should possess even to
old age. A woman who persists in
wearing a dotted net veil under one of
chiffon, as so many do, is simply ruin
ing the quality of her eyes for the
sake of her complexion, and she who
continues long in this pernicious habit
may ward off a few freckles while she
is simply courting pink rims on her
lids and a dull glaze on both pupil and
iris.
Too many women buy the first good
and inexpensive veil that is offered,
with a reckless indifference as to
whether color, spot or mesh is becom
ing. A face that smiles delightfully
from behind a delicate black gauze,
bearing a dot here and there, will look
old and haggard under a Russian net,
heavily treated with chenille balls.
This phase of the veil situation ought
to be by every wise soul studied out
before a mirror, and, moreover, few
women are aware that certain hats
go with certain veils, and vice versa.
Ileware of using your cycling hat veil
with your best bonnet, for by such
maneuvers is beauty judged.
As to the adjustment of the little
face masque, let it be known that a
bow at the back must be avoided.
Draw the tissue terminals into the
smallest possible knot and tuck that
neatly out of sight. Never let fluffy
ends of net hang out behind like sig
nals of distress, and as you value your
reputation for youthful beauty, don’t
roll your veil up in an unlovely band
across your brow. Rather remove it
entirely if you wish to read or eat
anything, for that band across the
brow, or, worse still, athwart the
nose, adds an instant weight of ten
moons to any age.
FASHIONS IN SHOES.
Here Are the Latent Deilgm of All
Description* and for Bverr
Occasion.
These are the very latest designs in
shoes for the present season. The
first one in the illustration is the cor
rect slipper for evening dress and is
made of black patent leather. It is
cut very low to allow a view of the
fancy stockings, and is fastened by a
perfectly plain strap.
The second is a slipper for the house,
and if the wearer is very clever with
the needle she will embroider the tops
with heavy gold and colored silk
threads, so that they can be worn with
any house gown.
Then comes the slipper for driving.
Ladies who are very exact in mat
ters of dress have kid slippers to
match their driving costumes; but
SHOES FOR EVERY OCCASION.
with any gown the black kid slipper
is becoming, and unless you have a
very dainty foot, it is the only appro
priate shoe.
The laced shoe.is worn on rainy days
qaid on occasions when a great deal of
walking is necessary. Unless the
weather is very warm this lace shoe
is also very comfortable for cycling.
The last shoe illustrated is the ever
useful and popular patent leather one.
For tailor-made suits and best wear
there is no article of footwear as be
coming as the patent leather boot,
and the wardrobe of the up-to-date
woman is considered incomplete with
out a pair of these shoes.

QUEEN'S LOYAL LOVE.
Amelie of Portnipnl Startled Medicine
for the Parpoue of Doctoring
I Her llnsband.
Queen Amelie of Portugal is an ad
vanced woman, though she is queen of
one of the least progressive nations in
Europe, and a daughter of the con
servative house of Bourbon. When this
gay and pretty princess, who had
been brought up in England, married
blonde and good-natured King Carlos
I. of Portugal, she did what few royal
ladies do, she fell in love with her hus
band, No humble Darby and Joan
ever lived in more peaceful conjugal
content than these two young royal
ties. Not only does Queen Amelie
think her husband the best of men,
but she has ever been most proud of
her blonde, but rather chubby beauty,
and great has been her grief over his
yearly increase in weight. Some time
ago King Carlos’ figure went the way
common to most unfortunately stout
men, and though he has borne the loss
QUEEN AMALIE OF PORTUGAL.
with princely good nature, to Queen
Amelie it was a deep source of dis
tress. After traveling about with him
to many spas and cures for obesity and
seeing no cutting down of the royal
waist measure, this plucky woman set
to work to achieve a sufficient knowl
edge of medicine to enable her to con
quer her husband’s one weakness.
For five years the queen has studied
medicine under the ablest physicians
in Portugal, and at length took her
degree of M. D. after passing the most
rigorous examinations. Since her
debut as a full-fledged doctor of medi
cine, she has actually been able to do
more for her husband's health than
any of the great specialists to whom
he resorted. But this good lady does
not apply her scientific knowledge to
selfish purposes alone. She has estab
lished in Lisbon a free clinic, where
the poor children of the city receive
treatment, often at the queen’s own
hands, and thus, by her noblFsympa
thy and tender regard for the people,
she has gained a unique position as a
sort of nurse, mother and friend, as
well as a sovereign.
A GRACEFUL WALK.
It la a Beaut)- Within Itseir, anil
Every Girl Should Seek to
Cultivate It.
To be thoroughly graceful long steps
and quick short steps should be equally
avoided, remarks a French woman. A
stiff walk is also very ungraceful, and
that is the great fault of English girls.
They walk too stifly and take too long
strides.
Spanish women have a very pretty
walk, naturally, ns also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carry weights on their heads.
To exercise walking a weight on the
head is a very good lesson. You must
not be content, however, to walk
straight before you without letting the
weight fall from your head. You must
turn backward and forward, and from
side to side, as Italian country girls
do when they carry their water jars
from the well and can turn in all di
rections without a drop of water be
ing spilled from the jar on their head.
More marriages are made up at the
well in Italy than in any other public
place. Young rustic fellows stand by
the well to watch the girls fill their
jars and carry them away on their
heads with a grace given only to them;
and the most graceful among them has
the most admirers from whom to choose
her husband.
The French are also very graceful
walkers.
Study your walks, girls. Take danc
ing lessons to begin with and then re
peat your lessons before your long
toilet glass. A pretty walk is a beauty
in itself, and everyone who will can
acquire this beauty. Do it, then, at
once—now —without losing another
day.—N. Y. Herald.
Ilenovatinss White domes.
To clean white ostrich feathers cut
some pure white soap in small pieces
and pour boiling water on them and
add a little mite of soda. When the
soap is dissolved and the water cool
enough, dip the feathers in and draw
them through the hand. Do this sev
eral times until the lather is dirty,
then make a clean lather and repeat
the operation. Afterward rinse the
feathers in cold water, slightly blued.
Pat the feathers between the hands
and shake them over the fire until they
are perfectly dry. Curl them by draw
ing each fiber between the thumb
and the dull edge of a silver knife.
With a little care and patience the re
sult will be all that can be desired.
To Clean Tinsel Brm-sde.
Take equal quantities of powder

pad of crimson ingrain velvet, and rub
each flower with this until the orlg-
I luster is restored,

THE GROCER’S IRONY.
lie lllreil n lira) to Deliver a (Quarter
of a Pound of Pepper to an
OceaMioual Patron.
A certain well-to-do housekeeper in
West Chester discovered one day re
cently that there wasn't a grain of
pepper in the house, says the I’hiladel
pliia Record. She always had her gro
ceries sent to her from a Philadelphia
FOUR OUNCES OF PEPPER,
firm, but on occasions like was
in the habit of patronizing a West
Chester grocer whose store was near
by. Therefore she condescended to
call up the local grocer by telephone
and place with him her order for a
quarter of a pound of pepper, to be
delivered at once. The grocer is a pu
tient man, and he talked very politely
over the telephone. Afterward, how
ever, he swore; then he laughed. He
laughed loud and long, and remarked
to himself occasionally: “Good*idea!
That’s rich!” About half an hour later
the well-to-do housekeeper was some
what surprised to see a great clumsy
dray drive up before her door and back
up to the curb. In the middle of the
dray was a tiny package done up in
yellow paper. The drayman, after
taking particular care to get his huge
wagon in proper position, adjusted the
board from the tail-board to the house
steps, and with a thick stanchion pro
ceeded to slowly pry the tiny package
off the dray. With infinite care he
rolled' it onto the step, the amazed
housekeeper meanwhile watching the
proceeding from the doorway. Then
the d'rayman slowly presented the
grocer’s bill for the quarter-pound of
pepper and dreve off.
NOT GREAT TO EVERYBODY.
It is comical that Joseph Jefferson
should announce at a dinner in honor
of Tolstoi his entire ignorance of the
writer and his works.
The New York memorial meeting to
Robert LouU Stevenson was addressed
by men who had evidently read him
but little. Not one of them referred to
him as a critic and essayist.
When Tree, the English actor, was
dined in New York the chairman de
scribed him as about to act in America
for the first time, the fact being that
Tree had played a long engagement in
New York the year before.
A dinner in New York to Anthony
Hope discovered a most amazing va
riety of ignorance as to his work. One
last speaker frankly admitted the
utter blank to his mind that the guest
was and so "how can I make a speech
about him?”
In the course of the speeches made
jit a dinner given to Conan Doyle, much
fun arose from the references to Mr.
Doyle's detective stories. At last one
of the heads of departments with Mr.
Doyle's publishers said to his neighbor
at the table: “Where is that fellow
sitting they are all talking about?”
“Mr. Doyle? Why, over there.” “Oh,
no; I mean the other fellow —Sherlock
Holmes.”

DAINTY NECKWEAR.
l'he Styles Which Best Become the
Various Kinds of
Femininity.
An unbecoming gown may often be
redeemed and made possible by a
dainty arrangement of fichu, scarf or
tie at the neck. For instance, to wom
en whose complexions have lost their
first youthful freshness, and whose hair
Is turning gray, a gray dress is some
times very trying, giving the wearer
the effect of a dry moss clinging to a
tree. We know that look of withered
and dimmed beauty which accentuates
in a middle-aged countenance the pass
ing of the years. Yet few women real
ize that the useful gray costume need
not be abandoned, if only it be fully
toned down or relieved at the neck and
wrists by a dead-black or soft white
garniture of lace, or by a contrasting
color of bright ribbon which will de
itroy theunfortunate monotony of tint.
Lace is so soft, so beautiful in itself,
and so enriching in its effect on a wom
an’s toilet that it should be utilized in
liberal measure for house gowns and
for all pretty costumes to be worn at
home. Abundant use of lace and rib
bon will rob any gown of plainness
and harmonize well with any stuff,
however uncostly it may be.
Of course, real lace is a treasure for
queens, an heirloom to be handed from
grandmother to granddaughter, n thing
to be handled lovingly, cared for judi
ciously and mentioned in one’s will.
But no one will hesitate, except on a
gorgeous gown of satin, brocade or vel
vet, to wear the really exquisite and
elegant imitation or machine-made
laces, which are ns inexpensive ns they
are dainty. These laces answer every
practical purpose, and are despised by
no one who likes to have a daintily ap
pointed wardrobe.
Linen collars, always smart nnd
jaunty, are appropriate with shirt
waists and cloth costumes, and carry
with them a certain severity nnd stiff
ness, inseparable from their texture
nnd their laundering. A girl may ai
ways safely wear linen at her neck,
and so many a woman who is neither
scrawny or sallow. But linen collars
are not quite comfortable always—
there are moments when one rebels
against their uncompromising stiffness
nnd their military precision of shape
nnd fit. Besides this, there are collars
and collars, and the woman who prizes
style will not rashly select n collar
simply because it is cheap, or because
it is like one her neighbor has adopted.
Careful thought may well be given to
the shape, size and general air of a
linen collnr, nnd to the tie which ac
companies it.
When a young woman has a fastidi
ous brother or a comrade suCcicntly in
timate to be allowed in a friendly way
to criticise her good points in dress, it
is not at all a bad idea to ask his ad
vice about the style of neckwear she
adopts. A man is not indifferent to
the niceties of his sister’s or his sweet
heart’s toilet, and though his advice is
often couched in somewhat offhand
terms, it is usually worth following,
and his suggestions should at least be
considered.
A tall girl with a long, swnnlike
neck may wear to advantage a scarf
with a large loose bow. Her short and
plump friend with a head set low on
her shoulder must not muffle herself up
till she seems to have no neck to
speak of. For her the narrowest band
or cord is sufficient to mark the line
where the dress ends.
A gentlewoman never tolerates soiled
or flimsy or careless neckwear. —Harp-
er’s Bazar.
BIRDS IN MILLINERY.
In Time Women Will Accomplish a
Reform Which No Law Can
Brlnpr About.
It Is the same way with the bird-mil
linery question. The agitation of this
subject is both timely and wise, and
the support of every man and woman
having a spark of humanity can be
relied upon so long as radical meas
ures are not resorted to ns an end
The common sense and humane feel
ing of women must be appealed to and
reached. The tenderness of a woman
is unfailing, and once the American
women fully realize the barbaric tor
tures which the wearing of bird plum
age on their hats mean to the birds,
they will, of their own free will nnd
accord, nnd by the use of their own
common sense, and a humanity which
never fails the normal woman, stamp
out the outrages which are committed
so that their headgear may receive
ornamentation. But to insult a wom
an's intelligence nnd freedom of action
by passing laws prohibiting her from
wearing bird millinery cannot, be oth
erwise than ineffective. The Ameri
can woman cannot be told by law what
she shall wear on her hat, any more
than can the American man be told by
low, with any degree of effectiveness,
•ivhot kind of beverages he shall put
Into his mouth. In effecting reforms
It is always well not to trample upon
the freedom of people, nnd of all peo
ple the American public is the last
upon which to practice such meas
ures. The common sense of the Amer
ican public can always be trusted If
the right means are employed to win
Its attention. But the means must be
tempered with moderation. Some
thing must be left for people to supply
themselves.—Edward W. Bok, In La

A tiny tot In a torn blue dress.
With tear-stained face and eyes of brown,
A doll which receives an odd caress,
A little stocking that’s fallen down;
Shyly looks, but with wistful air,
At the regiment slowly passing by,
But she doesn’t recognize anyone there,
And she drops her doll and begins to cry.
I gently ask in a soothing tone.
As I stoop and kiss the tearful face:
“Whom are you watching for, here alone.
In this great big, noisy, crowded place?’’
Slowly she raises her tear-wet eyes,
Then sobbingly whispers: “I’se ’ittle May,
An’ I wanted to tate my papa by sup’lse,
For Ms wegiment’s tomin’ home to-day.“
“Dear little girl, you must not cry,
Papa will be right along, never fear”—
But oefore I can finish she darts me by,
Quick brushing away a vagrant tear—
And into the arms of one passing then.
Dressed in a faded suit of blue,
She climbs to his neck; I call her, when
She turns to wave me a last adieu.

Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of

He has proved the dreaded consumption

special departments—the woman’s page; the literary page;
the market page; the pages devoted to church news, school
news, society news, G. A. R. news, sporting news, etc.
The Press is an advocate of the principles of the
Republican party, but it prints the news of all political
events more fully than any other paper; hence The Press
should be your paper, no matter what your political
opinions are, if you wish to be well informed. In a word,
The Philadelphia Press prints all the news all the time.
