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 nel, ‘ o st e 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.— Loudon Answers. | 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. .

L { 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.
