The "summer season," In our clim
ate, really extends through September,
and often practically Includes October,
s, with a change of underwear, th
gowns suitable to August are also suit,
able to the warm spells that are Habit
to occur even until November. A per
fect outing gown should be made with
an eye to the fact that It may be need
ed until the November frosts are ready
to descend.
Smart gowns for afternoon wear will
tn required for some time to come
China crepe promises to be populai
aa a material for dressy wear during
the eomlns months. In all canes this
naterlal needs a silk lining. The pop
ularity of yachting and acquatic sportt
renders blue serge an always desirabW
material for a general outing gown
The tailors either use cravenetted
acrge or shrink the material before us
ing It, and it will then stand the influ
ence of sea air or endure the roughest
wage.
Among other popular early fall fab
ric are watered poplin, etarnlne, ana
poll do cherreT Stripes are populaj
with all materials. Velvet and velve
teens, black brocades, changeable silks
and cloths will be much worn for fall
and winter. The popularity of bicy
cling has made diagonals and Scotch
mixtures very popular for general out
door wear. Cloths made of a combi
aatlon of cotton and very high grade
worsted are being introduced in stripei
and checks. Serges will be much worn
In tailor suits. Nearly all fall fabrics
in wool are shown In two-color effects
From Paris comes word that the hoi
weather has made most women rush
into batiste, lawn or muslin, all much
trimmed with Valenciennes lace, in
sertions of it forming tabliers, quilles
or else V-shaped in front, and ending
In the waistbard. Of this last several
kinds are worn, the plain band with
long sash ends at the back; then th(
corselet form, which encircles the
waist as high as the edge of the bolero;
and, In this case, to avoid a quantity
of material round the waist and spoil
ing its symmetry, the bodice is cut
away underneath. Then there is the
telt that descends a little back and
front, and fastens at the side or back.
For the watering and bathing resorts,
foulanls, linen, batiste and pique in
light shades are made, also coarse un
reached and blue linen. These las)
are only trimmed with stitching above
the hem. The light materials are not
lined, but made over an underskirt ol
silk.
For dressy toilettes, rich materials
are used, covered with lace and in
some cases with costly open embroid
ery. The elegant combination of black
and white appears among some of the
most elaborate and elegant toilettes
worn at fashionable watering places,
as well as among gowns for general
wear. A dinner gown worn hy a belle
of the season at a popular resort was
of black satin, cut decolette, and heav
ily trimmed about the neck and shoul
ders with rich lace. Another hand
some dress worn lately was made with
a full-gored skirt of white satin duch
ess, with n bodice of black and white
striped satin, lavishly trimmed with
white Vene'ian lace laid over black
silk Chnntllly. The waist was cul

and white lace garnitures framing the
opening and falling over the full elbow
sleeves formed of white Venetian net
over black tulle. The effect of the
whole was cool, beautiful and most be
coming. White and cream-colored
taffeta silks dotted or striped with
black are trimmed with wide black
relvet ribbon overlaid with white gui
pure or Honlton lace Insertion. A
stylish gown worn at an evening recep
tion recently was made of white satin
brocade with deep empire girdle and
wide flat epaulets that spread oul
above the rather small Stuart sleeve
puffs of the brocade. The epaulets
were richly decorated with Russian'
point lace en applique, giving the ef
fect of rich white embroidery wrought
upon the velvet. The Medici collai
was similarly decorated.
The stiff white and colored shlrl
waist fronts are not worn so general
ly, and fewer stiff white collars are
seen with lawn ehirt waists, the softei
and more feminine band of ribbon
with a bow at the back, taking It
place.
Elbow sleeves are much affected wltl
a band of ribbon molding the sleeve
in place, to mntch the neck ribbon.

bow. Many of tho sleeves now seen,
when not too large, are strikingly
handsome, and the prevailing style,
somewhat reduced in size, is more than
likely to outlast tho effort for a return
of the small sleeve. The modern wo
man is loath to give up an effect that
adds to her dignity and beauty, and
this the puffed sleeve does when not
carrted to extremes. But It should be
said that whoever Invented the wire
abominations now worn for giving
form to sleeves of thin material ought
to be made to wear them for punish
ment until doomsday.

Folding beds retain their favor in
boarding houses, where one room has
to do duty for sleeping, sewing, recep
tion and general dressing room; di
vans, draped cots and upholstered dry
goods boxes still serve the Inhabitants
of flats, but "real folks," as one little
girl defines them people who have
real homes without shams or pre
tenses, like an honest bedroom and

Don't wear tight shoes If you want
your feet to look and feel well; don't
wear a short shoe. It does not make a
foot look agreeably small; it gives
great pain and in time produces bun
Ions. An ill-fitting shoe, whether too
small or too large, It does not matter,
produces corns and all their attendant
discomfort. Temporary relief for a
painful corn may be found by applying
a mixture of carbolic acid and sweet
oil, or binding on the corn at night a
Bmall piece of lemon. By rubbing the
feet with glycerine after bathing blis

whether deformed by nature or careless
treatment, should always be covered
by a block shoe which hides many
shortcomings aud outgrowlngs and la

"It's strange, strange, strange, that
1 can't find a thing or keep a thing in
this house," said Mr. Juniper the other
day. "It's all because of your loose,
slack, unsystematic way of keeping
house, Mrs. Juniper! Let me lay a
thing down once, and it Is gone for
ever and forever!"
"What Is It now, dear?"
"Don't dear me, but help me to find
my hat! I hung It on the hall rack
when I came In, but I might ss well
have hung It to the four winds of heav

concerned. I never expect to see It
again."

so that I'd know where to find my
things. Help me find that hat!"

that perfectly Inane way, but help me
to find that hat! I ought to have been
down town an hour ago! I suppose
It'll end by my wearing my silk hat,
and It's raining like fury, and I'll be
making a guy of myself simply because
when I lay a thing down in this house,
no power on earth can keep It there."
"Henry "
"I'll do some positive harm if I
don't find that hat. Why don't you
look for It? Make the children hunt
for It! But It's of no use! I never ex
pect to see It again on this earth nev

One day she received from her jewelei

"Hum, my good woman," she said,
in a brusque manner, "you are very

"She is a Queen," answerd the lady,
proudly, shutting the case with a snap.
But Magnier had been touched by the
blaze of light which had just disap
peared from before her eyes, so she
said, meekly:
"All right. I will drive to my bank
er, and In an hour I shall be back with
the money, madame."
And within the hour she possessed
the most marvelous jewels which ever
adorned a first night In Paris, But she

An Innocent Man has been in Jail Charged
With tl e Crimo.
The innocence of Stanislaus Blas

with murder, has been established by

went berrying together near Ralston
about three weeks ago, when Menka
suddenly disappeared.
The two men had quarreled the
night before and when Menka failed
to come back Blascok was brought to
jail in Williamsport. Tosses of men
spent a week searching mountains and
abandoned coal mines, expecting to
find Menka's body. Saturday a letter
was received from Menka, who is now

Bullet Seen With Naked bye.
Searching for a bullet in a man's
leg with the naked eye was an inter
esting experiment tried at the labora
tory of the Aetna Flectnc Works at
Hartford, Conn. A crowd of scien
tists watched the work, which was
conducted by Secretary Henry Green
and John Bowers of the Aetna plant.
Roentgen rays were used, and a
perfected Crookes tube, which is the
successful result of X ray experiment
ing at the Aetna works, added greatly
to the success of the undertaking.
1 he experiment was the first of the
kind ever undertaken.
Theodore Studley, of Colt's Fire
Arms Company, was the subject of
experiment. For two years a bullet
has been imbedded in his lee some
where between the hip and the calf of
the leg. Physicians have again and
again probed for the ball, without
success, and Mr. Studley had aban
doned all hope of ever naving it lo
cated. The bullet was located and
the work verified by a photograph.
Among the experiments performed
by the company was the placing of a
coin behind a six inch board without
letting the observer know what it was.
The instant the instrument was raised
to the eyes the discovery of the coin
was announced, and in some cases
even its denomination was given.
