When the glad poet tells us: 'The even ing wears on,” He means, though he does not just say. That the things that it wears are no/ tailored affairs, But the close of a summer s day. A Sunday Thought Let us lie low In the Lord's power, and learn that Iruth alone makes rich and great.—Emerson. Dolly-ettes A good figure and a quick wit will get a lot of things for a woman where pro found learning and broad hips fall. IN GAY NEW YORK. Dilly—“I don't see anything to rave about in th<s hotel.” Dally—“You will, though, when you get your bill.” There is nothing so ludicrous as a forty dollar hat on a tive-dollar lady. Mr. Gay Boy Soliloquizes: "It's easy enough to live your neighbor as yourself if she's pretty enough." "Did you see that play the other night that they advertised as absolutely true to life?" "No—why? What happened?" "It wasn't realistic at all, because between the second and third act six months are supposed to elapse and they still have the same cook." "Did the physician charge you much for the stitches he took after your accident?" "I should say so! He charged me at the rate of hand-embroidery instead of plain sewing." "I don't suppose the suffragettes will wear hobble skirts?" "Why not?" "Well, they're for progress and nobody ever yet got anywhere in a hobble skirt." An indiscreet woman is an unsealed letter that he who runs may read. Mademoiselle Frou-Frou Small chiffon and mousseline fans are polka-dotted over the entire surface on both sides with silver sequins. Dainty French slippers are made with many straps over the upper and liberally decorated with jet or crystals. Neckwear is plaited and hand-embroidered in almost every case. Cuffs are the accompaniment of many lingerie collars. Whole sets of amethyst buttons are cut and provided with shanks, but not mounted. They measure a full half inch in diameter. The Kimono and obi scarf effect is strongly hinted at in some of the new Paris costumes, which lean toward orientalism. The lace frill, like those worn by Charlotte Corday, has once more been introduced under the brim of the new lace trimmed hats. So far, few short jackets have appeared, but coats are noticeably lessening in length. Wreaths of simple white roses lie flat upon the broad brims of plain black hats for those who would avoid the flaring brim. The Latest Shop Talk One scarcely ever thinks of going to a man's haberdashers' to find things for women, and yet at one of the best patronized shops in First avenue a full assortment of women's little accessories for the toilette are to be had in a variety of effects. For instance, in the line of perfumery there is a delicious assortment, including the best American makes as well as the Parisian combinations. Bouquet, Guerin, Silver and To Remove Superfluous Hair Dr. Duvall, the eminent physician, says: "I consider DeMiracle the only safe, sure and radical cure for that very common and objectionable trouble, superfluous hair." Do Miracle is totally different from the powder pastes and other remedies, which simply break the hair off, making it grow heavier than before after each removal. Booklet containing full information of this remarkable treatment, with testimonials of physicians, surgeons, dermatologists, medical journals, prominent magazines and newspapers, will be mailed free, in plain sealed envelope, on request to DeMiracle Chemical Co., Park Ave. and 20th St., New York. No honest dealer will offer a substitute on which he makes more profit. DeMiracle sold at all good stores, including COLLIER DRUG COMPANY. A number of well-known perfume makers are represented, while face powders. Sachets, talcums and all sorts of dainty things are to be had. In this, same department, the men are not forgotten, because every little detail of the arduous task of shaving is provided for. At a well-known Nineteenth Street shop, the most beautiful assortment of ribbons is shown at nominal prices. Dresden effects, satin bordered taffetas, gros grain, heavy rep and the popular velvet edged ribbons are to be found. A Second Avenue shop is showing the daintiest neckwear imaginable in Irish lace jabots, silk and tulle combinations, hand-embroidered jabots, and the daintiest of hand-embroidered stiff collars. An Irish lace crochet scarf, two and a half yards long and half a yard wide, finished on the ends with a half fringe, is a novelty seen recently. A pongee scarf, embroidered in old blues, with a deep fringe having some of the blue in it gathered at the back of the neck with a buckle embroidered to match, is attractive. A leather combination fob and belt purse for business or traveling wear is a novelty. Patent leather belts, which are to be very fashionable this fall, sell for from 50 cents up into the dollars. Bavarian metal clocks that wind with weights are unique. Swiss carved chalet clocks cost from $4 to $7, and a metal horse head, with a clock set in the neck, is $2. A Stocking Saver Many women object to silk stockings because they wear out quickly. This difficulty can be overcome by care. Here are a few rules for prolonging the life of a fine stocking— Buy only a good quality. Cheap silk stockings do not pay as they run into holes at first wearing. Wash stockings before wearing. It makes they last twice as long. Linen feet and tops are great life-prolonging ers, as they afford strength of material where it is needed. Do not wear silk stockings until they become soiled. This means extra rubbing and more holes. Patch the first slipped thread. Otherwise there will be an unsightly run. Basting narrow strips of velvet at top of pumps or low shoes will keep them on better and save the stockings from rubbing into holes. Do not gird fine silk stocks too tight with garters. It puts needless strain on delicate threads and causes quick breaks. Fare the top of a silk stocking where the garter is attached. The grip is firm and the stocking saved. A narrow satin ribbon on the same color is suitable for this purpose. Instead of throwing away a good stocking that has a big hole, try darning it with a piece of thin silk, the color of material. Jersey meshes show less than ordinary ribbed silks. If you want stockings to wear, select those that are at least tangible. The cobweb meshes that do duty as hoisery nowadays are not expected to be more than “dreadfully smart.” As one writer puts it, “we’ll no longer wear stockings—we merely ‘veil’ our legs.” Accessories It is not too early yet to begin embroidering for the holiday season. If you are out of ideas for dress accessories for that purpose, look down this list and see if there is not something new there: Crow’s and brims for lingerie hats. Aprons. Linen handbags. Lace-edged or allover lace handkerchiefs. Fans. Collars and jabots, or stocks. Opera bags. Stockings, Lingerie and shirt waists. Card cases. Handkerchiefs and laundry bags; also work. Gloves. These may be worked in shadow. French eyelet, solid, etc. Patterns for their making can be purchased in almost any known flower or can be drawn by the clever worker. All of them make most acceptable gifts. The Hobblers From the Florida Times Union.

All go hop, Then they stop, Graceless fumble, Take a tumble, I Just for wearing hobble skirts. Dolly Pays Her Annual Visit to “The Fair.” Some of the Things That She Saw—If She Told All ’Twould Fill a Volume—Dogs and Dudes, “Hobblers” and “Wobblers”—If You Didn’t Go You Missed Half Your Life—A Phantasmagoria of People and Events; These are some of the things I saw at the "fair" during an afternoon: A fat woman that looked like a human steam roller.

Do you know how easy it is to remove those ugly spots so that no one will call you freckle face? Simply get an ounce of Othine, double strength from Norton's Drug store, and one night's treatment will show you how easy it is to rid yourself of freckles and get a beautiful complexion. Now that the summer has brought its crop of freckles to most women, there is an unusual demand for Othine and in October the druggist sometimes finds it difficult to supply all calls. Be sure to ask for the double strength Othine, as it is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove the freckles. Lots of widowers from the "second hand" Counter with a "hand-me-dow" expression of having been "botched" in the making. A dejected looking suitor who looked as if he knew that Love is another championship of a rhinoceros, the digestion of an ostrich and the concentration of a beaver. A woman in a red satin skirt and a yellow satin waist who looked like a dozen scrambled eggs in a dish or tomatoes. A "near debutante" with a puny smile and a florkish Englishman. A suffragette with her hair arranged in a la Charlotte Perkins-Stetson-Ollman with an air as though she knew that a puff in the newspaper was worth two in the hair. More "hobble" skirts. A person with a "Chantecler" effect at the side of her bonnet which had tail feathers reaching from East Lake to Bessemer and arranged to hit any orb however situated.

A dazzling looking belle who was trying to please half a dozen suitors at the same time as though she were sort of a social lunch counter at which no one ever gets a square meal. Lots of "tight wad." A belated looking female wearing a Pierrot ruche fayed at the edges and a moth-eaten Chantecler on her bonnet. A giant of a fellow devouring peanuts and popcorn like he had the con but these are cumbersome to carry about. A new dodge, which folds flat for packing, is a blotting pad in a flat wooden frame, with legs at the back which unfold and raise it to a convenient slope. The price of the specimen shown to the writer was only 6 shillings, so that it would make an excellent birthday present. Another real improvement is a new kind of stamp-damper, costing only 1 shilling and twopence. We all know the old kind, with a roll, of material in a tiny pond of water, which, if not dry, was horribly sticky, and accumulated dust, besides messing the fingers when one tried to moisten the stamp on its wobbly surface. The new damper consists of a tiny plated well, like a small inkstand, to be kept full of water. Into this, sealing it like a cork, fits a short, pencil-shaped holder, containing a small wad of absorbent. Material, which is perpetually damp from the well, and can be rubbed over the back of the stamp, damping it beautifully. The Art of Dressing Well The talent of dressing well, for talent It is, is not possessed by everyone. It may be acquired, however, to a great extent with care and thought. The tendency of the age is to overdress. Simplicity has gone out of date, so far as the generality of people are concerned. Only to a very few is it a thing still to be followed. For the young girl there is no excuse for overdressing. The simpler she dresses the better she looks, no matter when or where. For street wear, or least, this should be made a hard end fast rule, and never should be deviated from. How often we see frocks and gowns with short sleeves and cut altogether too low at the throat, for street wear, worn on public thoroughfares by young girls supposedly well reared and whose mothers are women of refinement. Nearly always the reason for this is, that the discipline of the parent gives way under the up-to-date independence of the daughter, and the girl in her ignorance fancies that the more she dresses the better she looks, and only when she reaches mature years, and sometimes not then—when she looks upon others younger than herself—does she begin to realize that her mother was right, that her clothes, as a girl, were unsuited to her, and therefore out of taste and unbecoming. When the Lamp Is Lit Have you ever noticed how many people keep their lovable ways for outsiders? says Elinor Hite. They don't think it necessary to put on an interested manner when home people are talking. What is said "goes" In one ear and out, the other, so that it really seems scarce worth while to tell them things. These uninterested people at home know perfectly well how to appear interested and sympathetic abroad, but they don't practice the art at home. They would agree that— To be truly kind is to do and say The kindest thing in the kindest way. But the kind things they do at home are usually done grudgingly and of necessity. They make every effort to be entertaining and amusing away from home. That sort of thing they think pays. Let me whisper a word in the ears of such as these: Pleasant manners and pleasant talk need practice. If you put them away like the talent in the napkin you’ll be lucky if you can find them in any sort of working order when you want them, whereas if you use them they will grow. The Schoolgirl's Allowance The allowance of a schoolgirl is all important. If it is too much it gives her spendthrift habits and makes her the prey of sponging and undesirable mates, if too small it causes embarrassment, often induces borrowing, debt and cringing to girls who are willing to spend their allowances on friends. Some schools limit the amount a girl may spend each week, others require deposits for pocket money. Much depends upon the school. Those in or near a city, where the girls may go to symphony concerts, good plays and occasional opera, require bigger allowances than country schools. What every schoolgirl realizes, but what many parents fail to understand, is that it embarrasses a girl not to meet. In giving an allowance, make it regular and a fixed sum. This teaches habits of economy and permits of hoarding for emergencies. It is better to permit your son or daughter to control her own money — however little — than to encourage her to run up bills or spend freely, knowing there is more to come at any time. The Age-Herald’s Cuisine COFFEE CUSTARDS. Take a cupful of strong coffee and mix it with cupful of cream. Then pour it on four eggs beaten up with four tablespoonfuls of sugar. Pour the mixture into earthenware custard cups, set them in a pan partially filled with water, and bake in a moderate oven till the custard is firm. Serve hot cold. Cats as Home Pets "Many claim that cats have no intelligence, that they care as much for one person as for another," said a woman veterinarian, who has made the care of cats a special study for a number of years. "I have found that there are almost as many intelligent cats as dogs, and that they are about as faithful as the average human being. If one wants good house cats, they must be brought up from kittens. Never try to train grown cats, and do not adopt tramp cats, for they are impossible, as far as training goes." Asked about the kind of eat that would make the best household pet, the woman said: "In choosing a kitten, choose one with a wide, flat nose; eyes wide apart, and a wide forehead and jaw, the muzzle not too long. This will be an intelligent cat." As soon as kittens have learned to lap milk, they may be taken from their mother. A healthy kitten should become a healthy cat, but if he should get sick, let him alone and especially do not coax him to eat. Bathing a cat, when parasites exist, should be avoided, says this veterinarian, as water is not natural for a cat. It is a wise plan for children to have pets to play with, and one of the most satisfactory pets is a kitten.
