1 down and two plumes from a gaudy moor
cock. An umbrella held over this is just
a touch of convenionallty, for it is not
in the least necessary, and for deer
stalking, fishing, etc., in the Canadian,
Maine or great Northwest woods this is
the ideal dress.
When deer is the game, then, often as
not. the grey wool toque is put off. and
a gay red handkerchief of silk, or better
still, of plain turkey red cotton is tied
Indian-wise about the brows. This, of
course, is an old hunter's precaution, and
aside from its coquettish becomJngnes?
has the virtue of pure usefulness, which
weighs very much with The camper.
The Frou-Fron AYnnmn.
From all the severe utility and athletic
simplicity of the present golfing and
camping dress, it is a relief to turn to
pleased consideration of the gracious fri
volities of the toilets worn by The sav
ing remnant of womankind that lives
through the dog days in a deep wicker
chair on a well-awned piazza, dressed in
all the flowing colorful beauty of the well
planned tea gown. Such women keep
the traditions of their sex as devotees
hold to a creed, and strong and sure in
their faith they wait for golfer and cam
per to enjoy the little day in short skirts,
and then, slowly, but none the less sure
ly. come back to the dear yoke of trains
and flounces in due time. These
piazza-loving women produce a
lovely array of pictures at present, and
varied tableaux, too, for while some
lean to silk and chiffon luxury*, others
create as charming a display by means
of colored piques.
One of the favorite morning lounging
costumes at this very moment is a skirt
of white pique, cut rather close to the
knee 6, flaring in n big flounce, fretted
with white embroidery, below'. With that
type of skirt is worn a snort tailed jacket
of warm pdr.k. aky blue, or melon green
pique, fastening with three buttons of
brilliants, caught at the waist by a white
satin band h*dd w'iih a gray buckle in
front and with a wide round collar rolling
back from the neck to cooly reveal tho
white throat, while broad elbow sleeves
afford breezes and freedom to the fore
arms. Over the collar of pique is turned
a soft and ornamental neck arrangement
of embroidered lawn, and iace and ruffles
of the same soften the pique lines about
the elbow.
To effectively top off such a piazza cos
tume a wide brimmed hat, made all of
iruelin, tinted to match the pique jacket,
and decorated with big bows of its own
material is pinndH jauntily on the well
oombed locks of Its wearer.
More elegant types of summer loung
ing gowns are given in the accompanying
sketches. The coolest of these is a truly
lovely affair, mad’e for Mrs. Comeliusn
Vanderbilt, the younger. White crepe
de chine in the goods, and this fair fabric
is edged and trimmed with entre deux
of heavy black silk guipure. The elbow
sleeved, flat necked bolero of crepe, ’s
worn upon an underwaiwt coat of pale
citron yellow silk muslin, which lets fall
wide uiidersleeves and a full scarf from a
rosette on the bust. A broad’ girdle of
black taffeta mousseline gives the bodice
a Arm frame and distinction.
In contrast to so fair a fantasy is a
gorgeous study, fit for August, in pop
py red foulard, further enhanced by big
bouquets of wheat field flowers. This
is the body and back of the lounging
robe, while the front and drapery thereof
is dieep cream chiffon accordion pleated.
Heavy Cluny lace of a tint to match the
chiffon forms the neckband, the pointed
shoulder collar and elbow cuffs- of this
deleciable frame for feminine beauty.

WHEN A WOMANS NERVOUS.
There la a Number of Simple, SetiKl
1-le Thing;** to Do.
Neurasthenia, or nervous prostration,
| has become almost n household word in
! America, and nowhere else in the world
is the condition so common. In Europe
its occurrence is rather infrequent, even
among the highly sensitive members of
the Latin races, such as the French and
Italians.
A physician of wide experience in the
treatment of nervous diseases has the
following to say about the premonitory
symptoms of neurasthenia, a knowledge
of which would save many a high-strung
woman a long siege of Incapacity and
more or less acute suffering.
“The symptoms. ’’ he says, "of an ap
proaching breakdown are physical and
mental. Among the earliest of nature's
bodily warnings to mnke Itself manifest Is
tenderness of the bead and scalp, which
is often so excessive that brushing the
hair causes in-tense pain. There are cer
tain spots which are especially sensitive,
one of them being just over iie eyebrow
and another In the left temple. There is
dryness of the skin and scalp, and there
is sometimes tenderness at the tip of the
spine. The pupils of the eyes are gener
ally dilated, and dark spots seem to float
between one and the light. Sometimes
a veil will apparently descend over one
eye. leaving a spot of clear sight at the
bottom or apparently rise from the lower
eyelid, shutting oT the vision from below.
There is ringing in the ears and frequent
attacks of dizziness. The ‘neurasthenic
voice’ is a very eharactlstle symr*<om; it
is soft, faint and lacking In timbre and
clearness. The hands perspire exces
sively, there is frequent twitching of
the eyelids, and one finds oneself blush
ing furiously from no apparent cause.
Other S> nip to ms.
"While the victim of neurasthenia is
apparently extremely sensitive to pain, lu
icall!y she Is rot so. This is a v*ry pecu
liar phenomenon, and den Ist* say that

bear without fill ching certain operations
In the mouth which the same person in
a normal state world find ureulurably
painful. Another peculiar symptom of
reurafith'.mia I? the rapid d r cay and loos
ening of the teeth.
“The susceptibility to lmulants and
narcotics is variable
“Another physical symptom is the so
called irritable heart,' whi h gives rise
to a tremulous, intermix cm pulse, palpi
tat ion and dizziness, ind often causes peo
ple to think themselves the victims of or
ganic heart die ase.

‘ Frar. in fact, is the cau e of untold
suffering to the victim of neuras henia,
whose lot 1? at best a hard one and is
often render and doubly so by relatives and
friends wlo ar- incl.ned io scoff at his
fears and despair and to regard these
symptoms of illness as mere figments cf
the imagination. A certain amount of
nervous strength is necessary to supply
ihe courage requisite for the simplest ex
er.icns, and a patient of this class will
oLen walk up and down b fore a physi
cian’s office, unabie to summon up the
courage to enter, dreading all the time
some vague, horrible, nameless thing
which r€cms to be waiting on the other
side of the door. Such trifling ac s as the
paying of a bill, the dismissing of a ser
vant, or the buying of a yard of clo h a~e
invested in the mind of the neurasthenic
with untold terrors.
What to Do.
"Any woman who discovers all or sev
eral of these symptoms in hereelf would
be wise to pause in her social, family or
business duties and take things easily till
she recovers herself, which she can do by
following a few simple but very necessary
rules. The complete reet cure insisted
upon by Dr. Weir Mitchell and some oth
ers is not generally necessary, even for
women, while men, unless they are prac
tically bedridden. And it intolerable.
There is a great difference in patients,
however. Some require to bo put to bed,
while o*her require a degrees of physical
and mental activity. Intellectaual pur
suits of the higher sort undoubtedly take
ones mind fram personal emotions of the
lower sort.
'‘As to medicine, very little is required.
The best results are obtained by varying
the treatment from week to week, taking
a sedative one week, a tonic the next,
and nothing at all the third. Any responsi
ble physician can suggest proper medi
cines: but in most cases there is nothing
better than bromide as a sedative and a

combination of iron and strychnine.
“No scheme of treatment is complete
which ignores the mental side of the dis
order. One should write “aheerfulness’
on one's doorpost and laugh a little every
day. A- first one may not feel like it,
but things will gradually take on a rosier
hue. Tne morbid fears of tho victim of
neurasthenia cannot be laughed to scorn
by relatives and friends; but one can
themselves reason them away, or, better
still, Ignore them. A cheerful companion
Is o( inestimable value. If the socle,y
of such a person can be secured, the bat.
tie is half won.
"Neurasthenics should begin their self
treatment by spending twelve or fourteen
hours out of the twenty-four in bed. as
the keynote of the whole scheme is rest,
partial or complete. They should retire
shortly after the evening meal and not tise
till 8 or 9 o’clock the next morning.
“The isolation from friends and rela
tives insisted upon by Charcot, Mitch
ell and others Is only necessary in ex
treme cases, which do not come within
the province of self-treatment. Though,
if one's relatives excite one, or annoy
one constantly by idle talk and conten
tion, it is better to get away from them
for a while and be with quiet congenial
people.
“The following regimen which is recom
mended by a spicialist of wide experience
nnd reputation, can be easily pursued
by any one with leisure and a little per
sistence, and will wofk wonders in the
course of a few weeks. Rise at 8 or 9
o'clock, take a bath in tepid water, dress
quickly and eat breakfast, consisting if
fish, chop or beefsteak, dry toast and one
cup of tea or coffee. No pane ikes, or
other Indigestible compound should ho
taken, ami the food should be well mastl
j ,-oted before being swallowed.
“At 11 o'clock take a glass of dry sber
! ry and a biscuit, or a ratv egg nnd a glass
of port, and after this, if the weather
permits, sit or stroll in the open air until
lunch time.
“For this meal tnke raw oysters or
clams three or four times a week, and
on alternate days a bowl of good soup.
Then eat a cut of roast beef or mut
ton. A glass of sherry taken at lunch
may be of benefit. After lunch lie down
for an hour or so. At four o'clock take i
cup of tea and a biscuit. The little sweet
cakes so often seen on tea tables are not
wholesome. After this ro for a walk or
a drive, returning In time to take a warm
sponge bath before dinner. A Turkish
Icath In the afternoon once a week will be
found beneficial.
"For dinner, say at about 7 o'clock,
lake, if possible, soup, fish, a cut from a
Joint or some game, or both, with let
tuce or other plain salad. Eat slowly
and avoid sweets. Wine may be drunk
by the neurasthenic without harm and
generally with benefit, though the quan
tity should he limited to two or three
classes at dinner and one glass at lunch.
Sour wines are the best, such as Bur
gundy, Rhine wine and champagne brut,
with an occasional small glass of brandy
after a meal, but never before.
"Go to bed at 9 o'clock, take a dry rub
before getting into bed, sleep with the
head toward the north and the feet to
ward the south, and do not thtnk about
anything special.
"If a woman will follow the above reg
imen for a few weeks, will stop worry
ing about everything and try to live and
grow as easily ns the vegetables. Nature,
who loves her children, will lend her aid
to the process of repair, and in a little
while the sun will seem to shine more
brightly and the birds to sing more sweet
ly, and the life that a little while before
was a burden almost too heavy to he
borne, will become a Joy, as It should be."

IVIIAT MISS ANTHONY HAS LOST.
An Admirer of the Grcnt Suffragist
Gives Some Details,
Some Western editor, commenting on
the honors accorded Susan B. Anthony on
lier last birthday, remarks that “after all
there Is on element of tragedy In the fact
that Miss Anthony has missed wifehood
and motherhood, the crowning honor and
glory of a woman's life.'
ll Is undeniable that Miss Anthony haa
missed wifehood and motherhood and In
summing up a woman's life it is only fair
that we should count the things she has
misted along with the things nhe has
gained She ha# gained the love and

an end to the complicated business. She
has stood on a thousand platforms and
listened to the applause of vast audiences,
but she doesn't known the glory and honor
there Is in picking up a bucket of hot
suds and climbing a siep-ladder to wash
the doors and windows. All the Joy and
rapture of house cleaning in the beautiful
month of May are a sealed book to her.
She has made the life of womankind
broader, deeper and higher than woman
ever dreamed it could be, but she has no
conception of the breadth, depth and night
of satisfaction to be found in nursing a
baby through the “three months colic.”
She has made the world over, but she is
ignorant of the abandon of Joy a woman
feels when she makes over an old dress
for the third time, and then sees John strat
off on his summer fishing trip. She has
been fieeand independent always, and the
women who are happier for her work will
see that she never lacks any good thing,
but, alas! she has never known the ecsta
sy of asking John for ten cents to pay
street car fare, and she has never expe
rienced the bliss of hearing him growl
about the price of her Easter bonnet and
groan over the monthly grocery bill. Here

There is no use talking about it. Miss
Anthony had missed a lot of things. It
is said that on her last birthday ehe re
ceived 3,000 letters congratulatory of the
things she had gained in her 80 years of
life. But there are wives and mothers
who could cheerfully and heartily write
her 300.000 more letters congratulatory of
the things that she has missed.
GOOD GHAI'K SWEETS.
Recipes for Spiced Grape#, Grape
Gup and Grape Dumpling*.
At this season of the year house
mothers cannot do better than try a few
grnp© goodies. For instance, spiced
gropes the best of all relishes for game
ar.d white meats. Choose grapes full
colored but not too ripe, black and white
ones in equal quantity, wash the bunches
very well, then clip off the sound berries
in little clusters, leaving as short stems
as |K>ssible without breaking the skin.
Pack the clusters in a glass jar, in inch
thick layers alternately black and w'hite,
cover eaeh layer as put in with granu
lated sugar well shaken down, and strew
i' thickly over the top with cloves, ginger,
nutmeg and dried orange peel, powdered
and well mixer! in equal quantities. An
ounce of each is enough for half a gallon
Jar. S;rew two or three whole black pep
percorns over th? layers of seasoning,
and at the top add two pods of the tiny
teal Cayenne. When the jar is full, cover
the fruit with good whteky or brandy,
let stand eix hours, and fill up again. The
fruit will absorb about half the first fill
ing. Lay paraffine paper over the top.
and screw on the lid, though sealing is
net necessary—the epirit prevents fer
mentation.
Grape Cobbler properly mide is a dish
f:r ti e gxts. Very ripe black grjp s are
bes*t for it. Wash thm twice—on the
hunches and after picking. Line a deep
f l?-dish with half inch crust, the best
you ran make, put iti the grapes, with
all the sugar that will lie between them,
hearing tho fruit a little In the mlddb.
Tut on th? top c u t. cut cross-slits in
the mi die. an i fold lxick the corners to
leave an open squar . Set the dish in a
quick oven and while your pie bak* s make
a auce, using half a ouf> of butter, one
cup of sugar, and one tablespoonful boil
ing water. Stir w-ell over het wa'er, and
flavor with lemon juice, clarrt, or grated
nutmeg, according to taste. When the pie
is nearly clone take it out. i our in the
sauce toe opening in the crust,
return it o the oven, do not overbake,
but ke p it hot until r. ady to sene.
Grape* Roll is a close second to the cob
bler. Stew the picked grapes with half
thdr cwn wvight of sugar, and only wa
ter enough to save from b orch'ng. Let
them ccfll. For l aked r< 11 make a dough
of two egj?s, one cup of milk. < ne half cup
of lard or butter, and one pint rf sifted
flour. It should le just stiff enough to
roll. If 100 soft work in more flour. Roll
It out In long ovals spread the upper
surface of them thiekiy with stewed
grapes, roll up, pinch the ends well, and
'ay in a buttered dish. Set the dish to
bake, and twice in the course of the bak
i g pour over the rolls a stuce of butt r
and si gar. nixed with boilb g witer, or
hot claret. hVrve the rol's wl h the same
sauce, only richer, and flavored with nut
meg or Itmon i e I.
For baked dumplings, roll the some
crust into rounds, pinch the rounds up in
cup shape, set them around a pan, then
fill them with thV slewed grapes, and
bake with sauce the same as the roll.
For boiled roll or dumplings make good

securely In a floured cloth and steam for
two hours, or plunge in full-boiling water

Grape pudding, either boiled or baked,
opprsU with pa; uliar lores to fusb
toned palates. Delaware grapes are l>et
for it. Wash, pick and flour well before
putting Into batier. A heaping pint of
picked grapes makes a fair-sized pud
ding. For the batter beet four eggs very
light, whites and yolks separate, mix
smoothly with the yolks half a pint of
milk and one pint of flour sifted twice.
Add half a cup of butter beaten to a
cream, and last of all the whites of egg,
stirring them In with long swift strokes,
all the same way. The grapes go in at
the very last and the bag or the pan
ought to be ready before they are added.
Boil the pudding three hours and serve
w’lth the richest possible wine sauce. For
a baked pudding half the white of egg
may be kept and turned into meringue.
Serve with the same rich sauce. If
grape-juice is used in it, instead of wine,
let it be from black grapes so as to have
good color.
Grape Jelly is not to be despised, either
for Sunday night teas or for a cheap des
sert. To make it mash a pint of picked
grapee, pour a quart of boiling water over
them, and let stand till cold. Strain off
the liquid, add to It half a packet of pat
ent gelatine dissolved in as little water
as possible, three cups of sugar and the
Juice and rind of a lemon. Bring to a
boil, skim, strain and set on ice until
wanted. Serve in glass bowl, with or
without whipped cream. For evening en
tertainments, the effect Is much enhanced,
if the mound is garnished with fresh
grape leaves and very small bunches
wreathed about the base.
For grape cup pour half a pint of lime
juice, a quart weak green tea and a
quart of grape Juice upon a pound of
lump sugar, stir well until the sugar dis
solves then add a big lump of Ice, and
let stand fifteen minutes. Fill the glasses
three parts full, and dash each with selt
zer, as it is served. By adding the Juice
of three oranges and half a pint of rum
and brandy, the grape cup becomes a
fine grape punch.
CLEVER YANKEE GIRLS.
Old Frnit Rnsket. the Means of Get
ting an Education.
Boston. Aug. 24. By collecting and sell
ing second-hand fruit baskets two bright
young girls near Boston are earning
money to complete their professional edu-
cation.
"I suppose we Inherited the belief that
it is a sin to allow anything useful to
go to waste, from our Puritan ancestors,"
said one of them when chatting about
their work and ambition. “You know,
we are twins, and It is seldom that one
has thought without imparting it to the
other almost immediately. Y/ell, this
throwing a#ay the nice, clean little bas
kets in which berries and fruits are sold
has worried us ever since we were chil
dren. I really could not say who began
the worry, but I know that we both did
It. and whenever we saw a good one
thrown away we would pick if up and
keep It among our treasures. That was
when We lived in Boston.
“Later, when my father's health failed
and we moved Into the country, I forgot
all about the waste of fruit baskets. Then
we began to raise berries, in a small way,
for market, and the question of baskets
came up. When we needed them we
had 4o pay money down, and yet no one
considered them worth saving. My sister
and 1 took turns about driving our wag
on of fruits into the city and delivering
them to the grocers who were our regu
lar customers. Our profits were very
small, and money at home was far from
abundant, so we had every reason to
think of saving pennies. One day we
decid-d 4o ask the grocers to keep for
us all the fruit crates and baskets which
we knew it was their custom to throw
away. Every one agreed to do it, and
most of them kept their promises.
“Finally, one of them said that If we
would go to the hotels and large apart
ment houses we would get more fruit bas
kets and crates in on? day than he could
give us in a month. You can see at once
the wisdom of that suggestion, and so did
we. We plucked up our courage, and en
tering a large hotel, made our wishes
known. After being handed back and
fer h from one otlic'al to another we fin
ally got the right man. and he acceded to
our request, but stlpu'nted that if he sav
ed any he would save all, and that we
must move them loefore a stated hour each
morning. We o;n found we had under
taken no small job—l had never thought
it possible that any one place could con
sumo so many fruits and vegetables. My
sister has a lot of pluck, and though we
hauled away that first morning more
crates and baskets than we used in a rei
son ,ebe was determined to stick to her
side of the contract.
"She said we must chan and sell them
to other fruit growers. We began by
throwing away all that w r? tco badly
stained or soiled to look tidy. Then she
discovered a mtx'urc which will remove
ihe stains by amply dipping the baskets

"My 'sister is ambitious to become a vio
linist. while I wish to be a teacher in the
public schools at first, and later on in
someone of the great girl colleges. We
have paid our expenses at school for two
years by our little enterprise and we have
good reason to hope that it will take us
all the way along our professional educa
tion. We are, now sixteen and we ex
pect to be able to begin'in our respective
professions a year or two later. My
younger sister, who now acts as our as
sistant, will carry on the business for a
few years lenger, and perhaps when she
gives it up some girl or woman who has
to rneke her way In the world will buy
the good vdll of our established Arm. It
will be established by that lime, you know,
for It will have been in existence a good
while.
“The one great danger is, of course, in
the grocerymen doing as the breweries do
—asking the return of their baskets. Of
course, such a course on their part would
render it mere difficult, but I fancy there
would still 1 e some baskets, as there aro
bottles to spare. There was a time when
bottles were not considered worth saving,
so my mother tells us, but that time is
past and gene. So it will be with fruit
and vegetables baskets and crates in a few
Sears. Now, there is money to be made
as We have made It in all the large cities
of this country and I do not sec why other
girls and women cannot do as we are
doing. It is a little niche, it is true, but it
is quite big enough to put your foot In lo
step to other things. We. cleared $M>
last season. That is $23 a month for each
of us during the whole year. That was
sufficient to pay the bills of our teachers
and leave a few dollars for other ex
penses."

DRESSING DOLL BABIES.
Miss Pelham Supreme in Providing
Wardrobes for Them.
Miss Louise Pelham of Chicago is the
"Queen of Dolldom,’ ’and all beeau?, „ :i4
makes the most captivating costumes for
the ultra-fashionable bisque beauties of
the World’s Fair city.
Asa school girl, she won international
fame as a doll dressmaker, and when her
studies were ended, she devoted herself
to the quaint profession of outfitting mim
ic people. In a month she frequently
dresses half a hundred dolls, from ths
crown of their aristocratic heads on which
is perched the most bewilderingly French
bonnet, to the soles of their tiny feet shod
with satin slippers on the cunninges: of
kid bodies.
She never uses a pattern, though she
runs the whole gamut of fashion, from
an imitation of Worth’3 most elaborate
creations to Mme. Manvell’s reform gar
ments. But her greatest successes lie
in character dolls, and she faithfully re
produces the splendid robes of kings and
queens; the sober garb of monks, nuns
and Quakers; he gay garments of i ro
fessionnl beauties; widows in their weeds;
brides in their finery'; sailors and soldiers,
dudes and beggars.
The beginning was a modest one—the
dressing of a couple of dolls as “Folly '
and a ballet dancer for an out of town
friend, led to orders from her acquain
tances. The purchase of many dolls ex
cited the curiosity of a clerk, and the
atopy of the ambitious girl was told aid
re-told, until the manager of a large de
partment store ordered dozens of .lolls
for the holiday trade. She lines them up
before her as she sews and studios ea :i
little face for the possibilities of iis cos
tume, and so unerring is her judgment
that dolly and dress are Invariably in per
fect harmony.
On Mondays she sallies forth for bar
gains, and thus keeps her stock of dain y
muslins, bright ribbons, gorgeous silks
and filmy laces replenished at a trifling
cost. She has made a great financial suc
cess of her novel profession and' has not
only paid her 'tuition for special counts
at the Armour Institute, but has a com
fortable bank account. Perhaps one se
cret of her success Is that she Is in to: -
with each dolly, and gives it a familiar
kiss when the last stitch is taken.
Personally, Miss Pelham is prettier than
her prettiest dolls, for she is extremely vi
vacious, with sparkling brown eyes and
masses of wavy chestnut hair. .She his
faultless taste in her own gowns and
with youth, beauty and Ingenuity, sno
fill* the imagination as an ideal doll's
dressmaker.
