; WHEN YOU BUY A HAT.
A milliner’'s advice to her patrons
fs to observe the effect of a hat sit
ting well as well as standing. Some
times a hat is too large for a seated
figure when it does very well while
the wearer is standing. No one wants
to lose in effect by a change of pos
ture, any more than she wants (o
wear a hat that is becoming in front
and hideous in the back.
PATENT LEATHER GOING OUT OF
STYLE.
“patent leather shoes for women
will be out of style next spring,” sald
Charles Torrey, who represents a
Boston shoe house. “Tans will re
place them to a large extent. I am
now out with our line for the spring
of 1006. Just why styles should
change I do not know. There rzally
is no accounting for them. The mere
fact remains that tans will predomi
nate in next year’'s marlket, and that
low cut footgear will remain in vogue.
The patent leather article, however,
which never has been a comfortable
shoe for’ summer wear because its
pores are cloggad airtight, will be a
thing of the past.”—Milwaukee Senti

A GOND WOMAN'S CLUB.
The pra ;tical good which it is pos
gible for a wideawake and earnest
woman’s club to do in a community
has been strikingly shown by an or
ganization of that kind in Utica, N.
Y. The New Century Club of that
oity, whose members are leaders in
the most exclusive social set, has un
dertaken the solution to some degree
of the problem of increasing the num
ber of skilled housekeepers, and
therefore the number of happy homes.
It has established a “kitchen garten,”
and a committee of the club devotes
itself to giving instruction on every
Saturday afternoon to some two hun
dred girls, ranging in age from four
to sixteen years, in all the principal
branches of housekeeping. The little
women are trained in the arts of cook
ing, sewing and laundering, in wait
ing at table, and in chambermaid
work.—Leslie’'s Weekly.
WHY SHE YELLED.
Prolonged shrieks of agony, unques
tionably those of a woman, emanat
ing from the local office of the Bell
Telephone Company, just before mid
night, caused night policemen and
various citizens to rush to the place,
fearful that an attack by some evil
disposed persons had been made upon
the young woman night operator em
ployed there. JPoliceman Henry Rief,
first to arrive, found the young woman
perched upon her operating table,
calling for help, while a huge musk
rat ran about the room in vain effort
to escape. Fearing to use his revol
ver, the policeman took a club, and,
after several ineffectual efforts, at
length slaughtered the rodent. It is
supposed it came up from the wharf
and ran into the first open doorway
when frightened in the street.—Cin
cinnati Commercial-Tribune.
JAPANESE FACTORY GIRLS.
One adimerer of Japan would be
glad if the Mikado could manage to
secure to the working classes a reg
ular Sunday holiday. It would ‘be es
pecially welcome to the poor Ilittle
dots who work as apprentices in fac
tories and through the winter far into
the night. They prefer this to re
tiring early into their cold dormito
rles. Fortunately for them, they do
net need many hours’ sleep. The
factory girls and all women workers,
~whether in rice swamps, about the
Osaka collleries, as shrimp and
cockle gatherers, feeders of silk
- worms or winders of siix from co
“coons receive only starvation wages.
In the paddy fields and at the collier
'ies they seem unsexed so long as
they are at work. The moment they
leave off they wash themselves,
change their clothes, stick a flower
in the corsage or girdle, or a bow of
colored paper serving as a ribbon in
the hair, and, if the sun is not down,
walk home under the shade of bright
- paper parasols, looking almost ele
gant.—London Truth. i
AN AMUSING PARTY.
A most amusing party was held
the other evening not far from the
park. There were about twelve in
the party and it was too warm to even
think, so the hostess declared that
they would hold a Quaker meeting,
and the first parscn that talked should
go down to Schultz’s fer sodas. TFor
a long whlle no one spoke, only little
snatches of popular songs or a lifeless
whistle broke the silence, until an
agonized voice from the end of the
pcrch cried out: ‘“Nellie, please get
’ that infernal June bug out of my col
lar, he bites like an alligator.,”
It is needless to say that he went
for sodas. It is not the elaborate
plan for keeping the guests amused
that appeals to most of us these days;
we like to sit still and be comfort
able and an easy chair, a few pleas
ant companions, and a seasonable bit
of iced fruit or a glass of cold bever
age is all that the average man needs
to make him eternally grateful.—
“Scranton (Pa.) Truth.
PUBLISHING THE BANNS.
The custom of publishing the banns
of marriage dates back to the primi
tive church, for Tertullian, who died
A. D. 240, states that warning of in
tended marriages was given among
the early Christians.
It appears that the publication of
banns was habitual in many places
long before there was any gemeral
law on the subject, since Gregory
IV. (1198-1216) speaks of the banns
(from Latin bannum, a proclamation;
Anglo-Saxon, ban) being given out in
church, according to custom. The
practice was intrcduced into France
about the ninfh century and in 1176
was enforced in the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
ject in England was an order made
in the synod of Westminster in 1200
to the effect that no marriage should
be celebrated till the banns had been
published in the church on three sev
eral Sundays or feast days. This rule
was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran coun
cil held in Rome in 1215. By act of
Parliament banns must now be given
out in England on three Sundays.—

EAT BEFORE DINING OUT.
To take a snack, either liquid or
solid, or both, before dining out, is a
wise precaution, on many accounts.
In the first place, wtthout it one may
~get very hungry before one is con
fronted by one’s oysters or soup, and
no woman is at her best when she
feels half famished. Hunger will
drive one to the performance of many
unheard of stunts, but it does not
"make a woman more brilliant or
- graceful socially. In the seccnd place,
clever and popular girls seldom eat
~much at dinner. They peck at thig
~and take a taste of that, but hardly
imore. There are people who can
~eat steadily and talk brightly at the
same time, but they are generally ek
derly persons, and bon vivants, to
whom the dinner is a material joy.
In fact, formal dinners are seldom
the best places at which to satisfy
a lively hunger, so it is safest to take
at least the edge off before going to
dinner. Lastly, good looks are inti
mately connected with what one eats.
The girl who indulges freely in
sweets, made dishes and the nice, in
digestible things that hostesses re
serve for such occasions, fs in a fair
way to find her pretty complexion fad.
‘ing and her eyes getting tired look
ing. To pass some dishes, merely to
taste others and to make one’s dinner
cff a few simple, substantial dishes,
is the part of wisdom for the would
be beauty.
FASHION NOTES.
A hat that is red and a veil that is
brown savor of Paris when traveling
tocgether.
One style of the much flaunted
white coat is made exactly like a
man’s Prince Albert.
Even the simplest dressers are this
season_arrayed like lilies of the fizld
—mostly tiger liltes. = * ~ -
New sailor hats have a large over
hanging crown and a brim sloping
sharply down in the back.
When the yoke is'cf deep lace ar
range the scallcped edge around the
throat and omit all collar.
There’s no denying that a woman
never looks so angelic as when clad
in white from top to tce.
Victoria lawns in biege and browns
make up into useful petticoats trim
med with wash bandings.
It looks as if the short full sack,
reaching barely to the waist, will tri
umph over the fallen bolero.
This is a good year to observe the
striking difference between wearing
clothes and being wall gowned.
Surprisingly nice effects are pro
duced by an odd white blouse and one
of the ready made white skirts.
If you are of the world worldly you
must wear hung from a chain a tiny
mirror hidden in a jeweled fiower.
FOR THE CRAMPED GIRL.
The girl who lives in a little eity
flat, with no closets or lockers to hold
her things and only a few shallow
bureau drawers at her disposal, is
often in despair as summer comes on,
bringing in its train tub gowns, fluify
shirtwaists and dainty lingerie of a
perishabla character. Where to keep
all this dainty finery, whose beauty
depends so largely upon its fresh
ness? Where to put it when not in
use, so that it will come out immacu
late and crisp, as if just home from
the laundry?
A young woman who found herself
confronted by this dilemma has util
ized an old wooden packing case about
five feet in length and two in width.
First, she smoothed 'down the rough
places inside and cut, with sandpaper,
then she screwed four castors into
the bottom, and tightened wup the
hinges that held cn the lid. After
that she varnished it inside and out,
so as to make it airtight, and cov
ered it with a pretty bit of chinz,
with a flowing pattern of roses and
foliage.
Inside, the box was divided off into
various compartments. Six or eight
little flat bags, tacked on the inner
side of the cover, were for slippers,
sashes, bows, fancy stocks, fancy
shoes and stockings and such para
phernalia. At cne end was a place
where hats could hang at peace and
in safety. All the lower part was re
served for dresses and bodices, a se
ries of tapes being drawn across from
one side to the other, to form im
promptu trays.
This box forms a sort of couch,
which rests at the foot of the maker’s
little white iron bedstead, with chintz
coverd cushions piled at the head.
Not only is it decorative in the pretty
bedroom, but it is a constant satis
faction in summer to the young wo
man who originated it. .
One quart of goat’s milk may be
considered equal to one and a half
quarts of cow’s milk.

{ i A Living Flag. ™"%iay 4
One of the most interesting features
in connection with the Grand Army
parade in Boston, Mass., was the
“Living Flag.” The stand was 120 by
60 feot, with 2,200 seats, and was
used by the school children. The
Stars and Stripes were perfectly rep
resented by the little girls, who were
geated on the stand, the blue ground
occupying the southwest corner and
the stripes pointing toward the north
east. :
A Criticism of Loubet.
President Loubet of France lacks
the artistie sense. He invites severe
crificisms from Parisians by driving
an ill-matched pair of horses, which
shaock the acsthetic feelings of the
people there. One horse is white, the
otker black: one is two hands taller
than the other, and altogether the ef
fect is startling. But the President
is fond of the horses and insists upon
uising the turnout.
