Personal force never goes out of fashion. That is still paramount today, and in the moving crowd of good society men of value and reality are known and rise to their natural place. —Emerson. A complete revolution in hairdressing is at band. Fashionable womeu will shortly abandon the wonderful erection of rolls and puffs with which shey have adorned their beads for so long, and will adopt instead what may be called a modified Greek style. The hair will still be raised a little from the forehead, and slightly rolled back, with just the suggestion of a parting on one side, the centre parting in the true classic style being considered a little too severe for present taste. The hair will, however, be quite flat on the top of the bead, waved at the sides and drawn back into a cluster of carls rather low on the neck. The position of this banch of curls is the crux of the whole thing. It must not be as high as in the old Greek model, which stood out almost in a line with the top of the head, nor muss it be arranged oo the nape of the neck. There is a position just midway that gives exaoct- ly the righs 2ffect, and demands a careful hand and eye to adjuss it properly. A hair frame may be obtained, wade specially for this style of dressing, and it will be found of great assistance. Indeed, it will bardly be possible to fix the curls and keep them in position without it. It is a particularly becoming fashion for evening dress, and most suitable to the clinging Empire or Directoire, or poplam gowns that will be #0 much worn throughout the winter. One sees large walking hats, turned ap on the left side only, the right side having a downward tendency. The high rise on the left side is frequent ; a few brims are raised just a bis at the back, and a strag- gler is turned up at the front. Tarbans are mostly from medinm to very large. The box shapes, with protruding crowns, are mostly in favor. Sometimes the crown is double the height of the brim. Extremely large turbans of the flat diabolo order are also to be seen. Velvets are the leading material for made bats, and are also used in some fine pressed shapes. Ribbed silk from fine to coarse can be seen, and very wide ribbons are prominent-—widths, say, of foor to six inches ; even velvet and satin ribbon of about five inches. Napped beaver is seen a good deal, fre- queatly in combination with plain felt, and is especially noticeable as a facing for turbavs. There are just a few small shapes usaally with high crowns and varrow mushroom brims, similar to those used toa limited extent in the spring. There is a new ribbon of diagonal basket weave face, plain back. They are also making metalic ribbon in ombre six inches wide. Metallic silk in gold and novelty colors is used, too. Ostrich feathers are used mostly in me- dium lengths. There are some tips and also some long plumes ; in fact, some of the ostrich pieces on the big shapes are simply immense in size ; that is, they look 80 before they are on the hat. pe Uncurled ostrich quills and other novelty effects, in combination colors, look well on the big velvet shapes. Willow plumes of medium length are “‘in it"’ once more. Some bats for antamn wear have satin frames, broad and flat, trimmed with buge torsades of soft monsselive velvet ending at one #ide in a twist of velvet that re sembles a huge rose, and through the cen- tre of this, standing well ont, is thrust a sparkling jeweled hatpin. Tassels are being replaced in many in- stances by balls in fluffy silk, in passemen- terie, in soft cotton or crocheted linen, or simply in puffs of satin or mousseline strung on silk loops. Quite necessary it is to have some sort of pendant to weight the many corners and ends of draperies that they may fall in the proper sculpturesque folds, Lace does not enter largely into the neck accessories of young women, being usually confined to the finish on ends of cravats or a crap of Irish lace shaped into a pert, trim iittle bow, or as a turnover collar. Other than in these forms it is seldom seen, the jabots of lace being left for the wear of the elderly women. Solt flannels will be used for tailored waists this fall and many of them are printed iv foulard patterns and finished with white accessories of hand embroidered handkerchief linen. The bolero, with a luster heightened by the retirement it has of late sustained it appears with mauy of the tailor-made suits designed for early autumn wear. It has joined forces with some of the Directoire modes, and makes a particularly smart appearance built of talfetas, with a double- breasted front buttoned across the figure, and long, broad tails flowing to the hem of the skirt. The lower edge of the bolero and the tails are trimmed with a sparsely pleated rache of silk, which trimming ajso outlines the armholes, from whence she tightly fisting sleeves, with their doubly frilled wristlets, protrude, Sharply pointed revers decorate the model, and these are olosely braided with soutache, and set the aeal of the Directoire style upon is. The sleeve is the oritical sign manual of the coat of the present moment. It oli to the arms with close tenacity, and in many instances is cleverly cut in one with the coat. The tailors are exploiting the latter model, of course. Chocolate Frappe.—Sorape or grate four squares of unsweetened chocolate. Stir into it gradually one pins of hot water and boil until it thickens. Add one pins of scalded milk and move to the coolest part of the fire while preparing the syrup. For thie take three quarters of a oupful of water. Boil until it spins a thread, add to is the prepared chocolate and one-half of a cupfal of cream. When cold stir in one cupfal of creamy, whipped solid and stand the vessel in slightly salted ice until very cold. Orit may be turned into a freezer and worked until itis of a mushy oonsis- tenoy, then served in sherbert glasses, — Bees reared in August will generally be found to stand the winter bess. Origin of These Two Customs of the Playhouse. Hissing in playhouses Lad its orizin in Paris in 1680 on the occasion of the presentation of Fontenelle's tragedy “Aspar.” Prior to that time suffering audiences were wont to yawn andibly and fall asleep when the apathy of the actors and performances justifieu that course. But on this occasion the indig- nant audience, driven to desperation by the platitudes of Aspar, voiced their anger by hisses, which drove the ac tors into temporary retirement, accor! Ing to the testimony of the poet Rel. who alludes to the incident in hi: “Brevet de la Calotte.” Hissing there after became fashionable. The first encore noted in the annail« of the stage was accorded to Livin« Andronicus, a Roman actor. He was popular with the masses and wa- called back so often to repeat his speeches that he in self defense brought a boy to declaim for him whi'e he himself applied the gestures. Whi encores became the rage in subsequent ages, it is known that Andronicus’ plan of haling an understudy before him be- fore the audience to share his honors has not generally been adopted by Thespians.—Show World. Women Barbers. In Gay's “Journey to Exeter,” pub- lished in 1715, it is told how after pass. ing “Morcombe’s lake” the travelers reach Axminster, where they sleep. The next morning— We rise; our beards demand the barber's art. A female enters and performs the part. The weighty golden chain adorns her neck, And three gold rings her skillful! hands bedeck; Smooth o'er our chin her easy fingers move, Boft as when Venus stroked the beard of Jove. —London Notes and Queries. Change of Life, There are two great changes which come to women. The first is the change from girlhood to womanhood. The second marks the terminarive of the period alloted to maternity. Daring both these periods of change there is need of care. Almost always Nature needs some help in the re- adjastment of the physicial functions. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives to Nature jnst the help she needs in these crises. It heals diseases of the delicate organs, nourishes the nerves, and increases physical vitality aud vigor. It cares the aches and pains common at such times and induces a healthy condition of body, which gives a vatural appetite and refreshing sleep. There is no alcohol in ‘Favorite Prescription,” and it is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. Is giicen weak women strong, sick women well. How Things are Reversed in Japan, In Japan the natives have a hahit of re- versing nearly everything, according to our accepted ideas of how things should be done. Thus a Japanese workman pulls the plane toward him, a blacksmith blows the bellows with his feet, the cooper holds tube with his feet and nearly every one site down to work. Horses are put in their stables the reverse way, for the horse’s flank is where his head should be. Japanese screw the other way, and Japan. ese locks look to the left. What He Prayed For. A minister accepted a call to a new church in a town where many of the mem- bers hred horses and sometimes raced them. A few weeks later he was asked to invite the prayers of the congregation for Lucy Grey. Willingly and gladly he did so for three Sundays. On the fourth, one of the deacons told the minister he need not do it any more. “Why ?"’ asked the good man, with an anxious look; ‘‘isshe dead ?'* ‘Oh, no,” eaid the deacon, ‘‘she’s won the steeple-chase.”’ A newsboy was left a fortune of $50,000.- 00. Heat once began to buy diamonds and horses, to spend his money in cham- pagne suppers and other extravagances. In a year or two he wasa beggar. Young men spend the fortune of health in a similar mavaer. It seems boundless. They squander it in late hours, indigestible meals and other excesses. Middle life finds them with their fortune gone. For those who have wasted health in extrava- gance there is no medicine so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the stomach, purifies the blood and gives strength to every nerve and muscle of the body. EE ————— Castoria. CASTORIA FOR INFANTS and CHILDREN. Bears the signature of CHAS. H.

EAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES, KIDNEY DISEASES CAUSE HALF THE COM- MON ACHES AND ILLS OF BFLLEFONTE PEOPLE. As one weak link weakens a chaio, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down. Overwork, strains, x and other caus. es injure the kidneys, and when their ac. tivity is lessened the whole suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood. Aches and pains and languor and urioa- ry ilis come, and there is an ever increas. ing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease, There is no real help for the sufferer yy kidney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act difensly on the kidneys and cure every kindey ill. Belle. fonte cures are the proof. Mrs. John Fisher, livingonS. Water St., Bellefonte, Fa, Find alee often heard my husband speak of the great ben- efit he derived from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Atthe time he began us- ing them he was suffering severely from a lame back which laid him up from work for days at a time. He had sharp, shoot. ing pains through his loins and suffered acutely when bending. His kidneys also gave him much trouble as they were ir. regular in action. He procu a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Green's drug store, and after using them » short time received relief. Doan’s Kidney Pills ban- ished the lameness in his back, stop the headaches and regulated the action of the kidneys, and he gives them the credit for his cure.” Saddlery.
