New York, July 27.—The eternal femi nine does nothing but talk bargains these days. She swoops into the city by the early morning train that her husband patronizes, and struggles about In the heat from shop to shop, with eyes for none but the placarded counters. In the cool of the evening she 6its on the veranda steps of the summer hotel and makes the ears of all the other women tingle while she brags of the sales she has seen and profited by.

That was selected for uae with white and colored tucked taffet* fvalsts. Another beauty suitable for the same purpose has the high, straight neck band of cream colored panne, with a unarming scarf of cream chiffon, printed in a de sign of pale green leaves and vines, drawn from the back, pulled into a four-in-hand knot in front, and a flutter with two round end rash-like tabs falling to the waist line.

For AH Sorts of Weather. | Something more severe and useful, es pecially on a hot morning where a deli ! rate collar or one of starched linen would be uncomfortable and rankly extravagant, is her washable stock of white linen, with its bow ends of striped gingham. The linen band is perfectly straight and soft as a folded handkerchief to the throat it embraces; from the back of the neck draw forward ends of perpendicularly striped lilac and white French gingham, known in its native land as toile du nord, and this, she found, is just about the coolest, most becoming and easily laun dered hot weather cravat. For cooler days she has three possible smart variations in collar trimming for her shirt waist. One is a wide band of plain blue chambray, with a boy tie, and side straps of white chambray variagated with little blue rings. Another is a stock of white silk with a double faced sham- ( rock green satin ribbon tic, ending in : white silk tassels, embroidered in six lit- ' tie white silk wheels, and put twice about j the neck is drawn in a four-in-hand knot in front. The last and best bargain of all sHe thinks is a captivating little reduced French model having a stock of pale lilac muslin with two deeper lilac ribbons threaded through it, and then in front a rosette of lilac muslin, from which fall nine tabs of ribbon that matches the mus- j lln, every tab embroidered in a group of wee diamonds of a darker snade. lieuu til'u I, Yet Cheap. Lingerie. What made the deepest impression on the understanding of the shopper was the absence of high, sloped collars, and the revival of the straight band, without cruel points to cut and thrust under one's ten der ears. She is also convinced that she never in her life saw such wonderful bar gains as are this moment offered in tuck ed lawn and lace, brown batiste and gui pure shoulder collars, nor such amazing occasions in tempting underwear. The *w*etest summer night robes were in 1 palest rose and blue, as well us white naln - sook, the waist outlined by a broad band j of beading, through which lattice work a | wide pastel tinted wash silk ribbon runs.

Again, from the knees down, a flounce of the finest embroidery will fall. What a reckless expenditure of loveli ness on the hours when the wearer’s ap preciative eyes are sealed close in sleep and her thoughts adrift in vagrant dream ! land. One bit of news the eternal femi nine has picked up at the underwear coun ter. This Is to the effect that all the fine trousseaux, whether for brides or not. are | made up in sets. For example, the salee : women emphasize as enthusiastically as possible the charm and elegance of buy ing sets of five pieces in each and every set differently trimmed. To purchase a night-dress, drawers, chemise, petticoat and corset cover of India cotton, embroid ered in white rosebuds and garnished in pale green ribbons; another set trimmed with a uniform pattern of Valenciennes and pale pink ribbons, and to use the un derwear set by set instead of mixing an embroidered chemise and a lace-decorated petticoat, is the very, very modish thing to do. Conn try Luncheon Frocks. But if women have good and suffi cient cause for their trips to the shops at this languid season, as has .been in dicated by mention of various bar gains, r.o less have they reason for congratulations over the daily oppor tunities in frocks that the wily mer chants now put forth under bargain plac ards. There has never been a summer, according to the very most experienced sales hunters, when smart pique and duck suits commanded so modest a price. Se verely tailor-made, in green, or blue, or rose, or flax, enriched with stitchings and worn with a coqueLtlshly frou-frou hat of lace encrusted tulle, the linen coat and skirt by all odds is the first choice for country luncheons and afternoon enter tainments. In contrast to the severe lines of stitched linen the most airy fabrications of chiffon and lace upon silk are worn as bodices with the stiff, short-tailed coats, and a low necked body of net, encrusted lavishly with flowers wrought of chiffon, was worn not long since In correct New port at a dance, with a skirt of heavy white linen, stitched with pale green silk. Fashion* for Juveniles. Undersleeves have come as no surprise or novelty to the nursery, for more or less that pretty method of dressing the arms has held Its vogue among juvenile belles. Just now, perhaps, its Influence is exag gerated a trifle, and in the summer set tlement* one will see-pretty maids of 7 or thereabouts attired in the most sensible little frock of cream white mohair, the skirt laid in stitched down box pleats, al lowed to fan out just at the knee, while over the full sleeved blouse waist of lawn is slipped a little bolero of mohair, the sleeves of which draw Just to the elbow and are there slashed in- squares to permit a free play of the restless childish arms. Equally commendable are the colored mohairs of the lightest possible .weight, made up with stitchings and taffeta quill ings, as illustrated irr the accompanying group of boys and girls. The little wo man to the left of the picture wears a clear blue mohair, individualized by a sprinkling of big dark blue dots on the azure ground. A white silk collar falls from her yoke of tucked white silk, and collar and skirt bottom and cuffs are edged with a fine pinked quilling of white taf feta Her hat, with Its box pleated brim, is of blue mohair, and has a wide winged bow of white taffeta fastened to the front of the crown. Picturesque and service able and not in the least expensive Is the costuming of these two children, and what higher ideals of dress can the most con scientious mother strive toward? Mary Dean. ELEGANT DETAILS OF DRESS. Silk anil Satin Jneket* Suggest Idea* for Autumn Fashion*. New York, July 27.—1 tis not always necessary In order that a woman should be well gowned for her to gather her clothes entirely from the renowned Im porters of fashions. The expense thus In curred would be much too great for the majority of women to stand up against. Many, therefore, to keep pace with the changes of fashion, use. Instead of money, their own Ingenuity. Or, os one woman has cleverly summed up the situation: "If one hasn't the money, one must have tasie.” A dec'ded and pretty Innovation this year has been the Jackets of silk which are worn with lightweight cloth skirts. They nre of either taffeta, corded or heavy grogruin silk, and In plain black or a amill black and white pluid. The latter, thoe of the shepherd's plaid, are regarded us being particularly smart. In the design of the making up they are quite plain, snugly fitted and strapped on the seams with stitched bands of cloth that match the material of the skirt with which they are worn. Below the waist line In the back they taper Into a point, or long, oval scallop. In front they most ly hung sufficiently open to show that they are faced with black cloth, and have revers of the same cloth, which are solidly stitched. Whether the stitching Is done with white or black silk Is entirely a matter of taste. Should It be with white, however. It Is very attractive to have the skirt similarly "done. There are also Been black saiin Jackots that are made plainly and strapped with stitched bands of c oth. The stitching on them Is always done with black, and they are invariably lined with white sat-, in. On the contrary, the black taffeta and corded slllc Jackets are made in very fancy styles. Eton, Zouave and Figaro, suggestions are desired as well as the longer effects. Almost Invariably, how ever, they are all short in the back and long in the front. One sees then! en tirely side piaited, or with tiny box plaits that run from the neck to the bot tom of the waist line. Sometimes across the shoulders a fanciful stitching on cloth holds the plaits in place, and almost with out exception they have a belt of cloth made on the zone lines. As long as one has the Idea, these jackets are readily A WONDERFUL BARGAIN IN DUCK OR LINEN. made at home or by any tasteful dress maker. Old silk skirts, even, can be ren ovated and made into them, when the dis guise would indeed be complete. Black and white, it is a point worth re membering, is the combination par excel lence this season. Smart white taffeta bodices are decorated In places with in numerable small black beads, looking somewhat like pinheads. They are sewed on by hand, and individually, the desire being to simply cover with them a given space. Even when used only upon th? pointed collar or cuffs of a bodice, they —. ■ NEW RUFFS AND COLLARS AND STOCKS AND TIBS. give to It an indescribable air of distinc tion. Fashionable light summer gowns, those that will be worn In the afternoon and at the theaters, will have upon them no high collars. This is one of the very neev fea tures that are seen. Bodices will be drawn up and lilted closely about the bottom of the neck, leaving that part of the body entirely uncovered, with the exception, perhaps, of ti suing of beads, which should clasp about it tightly. High, close neck finishings ate seen on few women after 1 o'clock In the day, and those that do venture to appear will be the transparent ones, wirtd on the underside. White duck, pique and mohair gowns show umong other conceits a note of black. One very smart duck outing cos tume made in London for wear at Cowes had upon it a black cloth collar and revers which were severely braided witn gold. The design was further abetted by large gilt buttons. Another very quaint little touch for such gowns is to let in about the skirt, either in scallops or straight lines, a narrow strip of check ed gingham, the colors of which should be quite gay. Pastel blue and yellow are the prettiest. On either side the band is then sewed on to the gown with a fine white braid. Naturally, the Jacket shows the came trimming ond a shirt waiet of like gingham completes the costume. The skirts of these outing gowns are invariably made up over white silk. To the practical mind this may seem, it mu3t be acknowledged, a trifle incongruous. On the other hand, those that hove wres tled with the problem know that one white silk slip will do duty for many gowns if it is made up separately, and therefore coyer the whole range from an embroid ered batiste to a pique. A LEFT HANDED PARTY. Clever Suggestion for n Sommer'* Evening Entertainment. The invitations invited you to a "left handed party,” but did not explain the term and gave no hint of the ceremonies to be observed fhereat. Of course, we puzzled over the mysteri ous little notes trying to discover what was in store for us at that bright Marion Willing’s entertainment, but no amount of puszllng brought forth any solution. As we had not been asked to come In any special costume or provided with any particular articles, we went empty-hand ed. and gowned us for an ordinary merry making. When we arrived, the motif of the af fair began to dawn upon us. For there, Irf the doorway of the drawing room, stood Marlon and her receiving commit tee, having, each of them, the right arm In a sling. v Of course the left hand was offered to us by all of the committee, and both Wll helmtna and I hod presence of mind to stretch out our lefts also. Otherwise, as we afterward learned, we should have been colled upon to pay a'forfeit. The ceremony of handshaking over, one of the commltlee ushered us Into an ante room where our right arrtts also were arranged In slings. .We then joined the company and en- The Beginning nf the End —OF— THE GREAT m Removal Sale! huh fliiiiviiG Prudent people knowing that.such chances occur but once in a long while, are now making the most of this occasion.

In our eagerness to sell as much as possible and avoid the trouble and expense of moving to our new home, we have completely ignored VALUES and COST, and ev erything in summer goods now goes at an appalling sacrifice. ° LADIES’ WAISTS AND SKIRTS At One=Third and Qne=Half Former Prices. P. T. FOYE SUCCESSOR TO FOYE & MO PRISON, joyed a peaceful conversazione until the last guest had arrived, and been disabled in the prevailing manner. This arrival was the signal for the be ginning of the left-handed work that had been laid out for us. There were several contests planned. \ r ou can imagine how lively they were when you know that our right hands could not be used even to help. These members were to be consid ered as non-existent, Marion adjured us. Our poor lefts must do all that was to be done. One of the contests was in writing. Pencils and tablet* were provided and each contestant was commanded to write twelve times over, the copybook sentence, "Writing Maketh a Ready Man.” Very few, indeed, of those present had sufficient practice in left hand chirographv to write even legibly, and this fact made the competition of the merriest kind. The two competitors whose writing was considered most readable received re spectively, a pretty writing portfolio m leather and a silver pen-holder. Another contest was announced as soon as the awarding of prizes had taken place, and the little speeches of thanks from the different recipients were made. For this second trial all guests were in vited to step to a blackboard which hung in a convenient position on the wall, and to draw a picture of an animal in oolored crayons. No limits were set to the play of the imagination. Any animal in any position, would serve. The prizek were decided by vote, each voting for any drawing not his own. The first prize winner received a copy of “Wild Animals I Have Known.” The second a bronze paper weight for the desk, representing a sleeping lion. The last tourney was as clever as those which preceded It. It consisted of quoit throwing with the left hand, and proved quite difficult enough to keep the fun well on the jump. A statuette of the classic disoue throw er was the trophy in this contest. WOMAN’S WORLD. Continued from Thirteenth Page. perfectly curled by the time the remain der of the toilet Is completed. One hardly likes to recommend a curl ng fluid, but ihere are people who find It useful, and th-refore overlook the objectionable fea ture of uncleanliness. A guaranteed recipe, says one who has used It, Is the follow ing: Take one ounce of gum arable and a half ounce of biown sugar, and dissolve in three quarters of a pint of hot water. When cold, add two ounces of alcohol, in which six grains eath of bichloride of mercury and sal ammoniac have been dis solved. Add enough water to make the entire quantity one pint. Perfume slight ly with any desired odor. The hair Is to be moistened with the liquid beforw-put ttpg in papers or curling pins. The par ticles that settle among the roots of the hair ns the liquid drbs must be carefully brushtd out every night before applying a fresh supply or the scalp will become unsightly in a few da) s. They came out of the restaurant In the Pennsylvania depot rather hurriedly, he with her suit case, she carrying a precious violin In its little black coffin. As they made for the news stand, says the New York Press, she said—they had evidently come to a compromise in the matter— "Very well, then, you may get me some chocolates.” And at this they came to a pause before the stand. Here he was struck with a fresh Idea of conveying to her how anxious he was to please her, and from the tentative tone In which the suggestion was made, doubly anxious not to give to her the Impression that he would be guilty of any gaucherles. "May I not get you something to read?” he pleaded. “Here's 'Unleavened Bread.' Its probably beastly; but everybody is talking about It and if you haven't read It " "No," she said very decidedly, "I will just have the chocolates.” “Oh, then, you've read It," he replied, casting about for some other alluring title. "That doesn't follow, does It? because I say I do not wish you to give It to me. If I am to have the chocolates, you had bet ter get them at once. The train leaves directly, remember.” "In that case you must let me give It to you. You ought to read it, in self-de fense. you know. When you run across one of those bores who always ask you” (here he fumbled in his pocket for a bill, caught up the volume In dispute, and headed for the door leading to the train platform, the girl protesting meanwhile) "if you've read—well, you know, all the latest books. By jove,” he laughed, “If you don't let me have my way about this I'll go back and get a lot of 'afternoon extras.’ ” By this time they had reached the car. He arranged all her possessions, putting the precious violin in the rack overhead, and just as the train began to move he made his way to the door and Jumped off. The girl gave him a stiff nod through the window and remained perfectly mo tionless until the train was slowly rum bling over the bridge across Newark bay. At this point she quietly picked up the book and the box of bonbons, placed them together on the window ledge, and, tip ping them with her Anger, shot the two offending objects Into the blue water be neath. Then she settled back In her seat with a Ane degree of self-satisfaction written large on her face. I.BMOXS AS MEDICINE.
