6 THE SCRANTON TRIJ1UXE-WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 15. 1894. SUMMER WARDROBES. Fashioa at a Standstill, but It I Time to Wear and Enjoy. It Is now the soason when fashion 1b nearly at a standstill. Summer wardrobes are all arranged, and it Is too early to think of fall ones, w onion want to wear and en joy the pretty things they already have rather than go through the fiery ordeal of chopping and being fitted. The odors of town, although quite as characteristic in their way, aro leas appreciated at present thun the fragrance of sea and country places. The smell of plueg or fxuiu soa- mm m wwwm fir SILK Ml'SLIH COI.LAH. wed In the sun la better than all the man ufactured Manioc In thu market. If somo one would only invent i method of bot tling it up fur winter use, the stock of pot pourri jurs would drop hopelessly. The woman who U enjoying thoso scents at first hand Is undoubtedly already pro vided with her outing suit of black, bluo or brown serjje, made with nn unllued skirt and bluzer or Eton jacket. Such a costume nicy bo worn with a thick or thin bodice, as tlio weather demands, and will endure any amount of rough usimgo, ruin, epruy and dust. She also bus her dotted or flowered muslin gown much frilled and furbelowed, which she puts on after her return from boutlng or Ashing excur sions iu the ufuresuld rough and ready garments. A bath and a fresh dress are wonderful revlviilers after futiguing exer cise, so it is worth while, nioroly from a hygienlo point of view, to have several nulusook gowns ns prettily trimmed as one can ufford. Uf course sho has a broad brimmed flower luden hat to correspond and long wash leather or silk gloves, as well as a white, scarlet or dark bluo sun umbrella to keep the flowers on tho hut from fading. She has not forgotten tho light silk gown trimmed with luco for formal occasions nor the two or throo evening gowns, ono probably of black net or grenadine In fact, it is doubtful if her wardrobo is not well stocked with most of tho things in vogue just now, ex cept possibly the newest Inventions in gauzy arrangements to be worn around tho neck and shoulders. Something fresh In that lino is continually appearing, and tho latest is shown in the cut. It is uf black mousselluo do solo puffed over the shoulders and fulling in two points in front. It is draped across the upper part of tho chest and is collarless. SUMMER BOOKS. Jadlo Cliollet Discusses Them With Her Usual Good Sense. In these duys, when "novel" is merely an alluring natno for on essay on social or medical problems fllnisily covered by a transparent veil of narrative, like the gel atin coating of a quinine capsule, it is hard to find a book that may be read for the sheer pleasure of it, with no necessity for diving into the dark depths of science and ethics. Even tho ordinary society love story, that once most popular of talcs, has been thrust into tho background by the FOULARD COWS, crowd of dissertations on brain wearying themes that beguilo us into reading thom by their specious claims to the title of light literature. There would be danger of a revolt In favor of dimo novels if it wero not possible to oncd in awhilo get hold of such a story as Stevenson's "Treas ure Island, " full of delightfully unabstruse mutineers, buried gold and bloodshed, and so well written that tho reader, liko the recipient of Sam Wei lor 's valentine, Will "vlsh thero vos moro." Without wishing to add another now theory to the innumerable host now buzz ing like bees In different bonnets, It may be suggested that possibly somo women have a lurking fancy for personal experi ence of moving accidents by flood and field, not as strong as tho adventurous in stlnot in men, but still strong enough to glvo a charm, in addition to its own charming style, to such a book as "The Admirable Lady Biddy Fano," for In stance If we could all livo in caves for the next month or two, tho lntorost in dainty sum mer gowns might relax a llttlo. As wo cannot do that, we must bo content to read "Lady Biddy" on tho voranda In tho pret tiest costume that the heat permits. A sketch is given of a gown of old roso foulard. Tho round skirt, trimmed with four bands of white lace insertion, has a plain princess tabller In front, tho left side of which Is trimmed with black satin bows. Tho buck and right sldo of the bodice are trimmed with three bands of Insertion, while the left sldo is draped with White laoo to match. Tho corsago opens In a V over a full plastron of white silk muslin. The elbow sleeves consist of two puffs finished by a lnce flounce. The Sound of Thunder. One of the most terse and succinct de scriptions of a natural phenomenon is that recently given by M. Hirn, In which he says that the sound which Is known as thunder is due simply to the fact that the air traversed by an electric spark that is, a flash of lightning is suddenly raised to a very high temperature and has its vol ume, moreover, considerably increased. The column of gas thus suddenly heated and expanded is sometimes several miles long, and as thsduration of the flash is not over the millionth of a second, it follows that the noise bursts forth at once from the whole column, though, for an observer at any one place, it commences where the lightning flash is at the least distance. Id precise terms, the beginning of the thunder clup gives the minimum distance ii 5? T of the lightning, and the duration of the rolling of the tbnnder the length of the column of heated air. Professor Him also remarks that when a flash of lightning strikes the ground it Is not necessarily from the place struck that the first noise is heaiU. Again, he points out that a bullet whistles in traversing the air, so that we cnu, to a certain extent, follow its flight The same thing also happens with a falling meteor ite just before striking the earth. The noise actually heard has tieen compared to the sound produced when one tears liuen; it Is due really to the fact that the air rap idly pushed on one side of the projectile in front, whether bullet or meteorite, quickly rushes back to fill the gap left iu tho rear. St. Louis Republic LEARN TO SAY "YES." Iloral Obligation ami I'ernonal (are For the Little Ones. No doubt we cun each of us remember occasions in our childhood when we wero denied pleasure that, in thu light of mature years, wo see was Innocent and might easily liavo been granted. Child hood Is or should be the golden age, 110 period when humanity is irresponsible without being blameworthy, simple In Its requirements and easily pleased. While a foolishly Indulged child is 'one of the most detestable beings on the face of the earth, there is no need of denying a child, or a grown person either, for that matter, any innocent pleasure that It is possible for him to enjoy, Innocent pleasure being taken to meuu a pleasure which does not hurt himself nor liiconveuieiico anybody else. When a child asks to be allowed to do a certain thing, the parent often says "No" automatically without stopping to consider whether thero Is uny real reason why the request should be denied. It is worth whllo to weigh tho pros uud eons of this mutter, trilling as it may seein, for early associations have a strong influence in the feeling with which grown children regard the father und mother. A llttlo child soon learns the difference between loving sympathy with his small Interests CHILDRES'S COSTUMES. and lndlffercnco or opposition to them, and once learned tho effect of the lesson is lifelong. Tho state of mind Induced by the needless thwartingof pet wishes is not a favorublo ono for tho growth or even maintenance of family affection. To provide the necessaries of life, food, shelter, decent clothing and tho average amount of education for tho child whom wo havo called Into the world without consulting him is not enough to merit his lifelong devotion and self denial. Such provision is a moral obligation in simple justice. To rightfully possess our chil dren's devoted uffcetion wo must deserve it by giving something beyond tho neces sary care that an animal gives its helpless young. Wo must enter into their inter ests with sympathy, advise them without personal prejudice and recognlzo the fact thut they aro not merely our satellites, but that they have a distinct personality and inallcnablo Individual rights as strong as our own. But this is wandering outsldo the bounds of a fashion article, and fashion must here be considered. Tho larger figure in the sketch shows a gown of blue sorgo trimmed with whlto braid. It is slcevo less, arid tho bodlco opens In front to show a frilled shirt of red cambric with whlto dots. Tho smaller child wears a lawn gown which has a triplo capo to match, both being trimmed with Valen ciennes lace. - PARASOLS. They Are All Colors and Styles and Are Vry Pretty. It is such weather as this that causes the luxuriant blossoming forth of parasols. They spreud themselves in tho sun like tropical flowers and display as brilliant nn assortment of tints, besides being much larger. Tho evolution seems complete from the big greon leaf, which was doubt less tho first parasol, and which always shelters tho 111 fated Paul and Virginia in pictures. There is a great variety shown in black alone. Besides tho usual pluin silk and satin ones, now left mainly to old ladies, there are Innumerable puffed and ruffled arrangements in black chiffon and mous seline do sole. Figured silk grenadine is also used, stretched smoothly and thinly lined, so thut tho light shining through indicates tho figures. Other black parasols have bonds of luco insertion, cither black or white, set in at intervals. All white parasols, covered with china silk or taffeta and having white enameled sticks with a china knob, aro niuoh llkod for general use with muslin and other thin . v NEW PARASOL& costumes. There aro more eluborate onos of white silk muslin and lace, flounced and furbolowod to match tho fluffy gowns and highly trimmed hats now In voguo. Entering the domain of oolor, Die scarlet poppy, ptirplo clematis and blush rose have all their prototypes, very beautiful and also expensive, elaborately trimmed and fitted with valuable porcelain handles. There are likewise plain scarlet and dark blue sun umbrellas, well mudo and much moro serviceable, although loss costly, which are usoful adjuncts of a modest summer outfit where economy as woll as beauty has to be considered. In low priced goods plain natural wood handles are seen bearing a frame covered with Japanese figured cotton stuffs, mainly in bluo and whlto, I It is reasonably safe to prodlot that tho popularity of china knobs and handle will soon wane, and that- natural wood will again come Into favAr for expensive umbrellas and parasols. The latest Frcnnh doslgns show bt'mboo sticks, tho lr Hngular swelling whato the stem of the plant joins the root firming tho handle. v -.1 ADVANTAGES OF VANITY. Self Esteem Is the Itcst Soul and Heart Padding In the World. Time out of mind the vanity of women has been held up to public execration and ridlculo as tho cause of extravagance, envy, jealousy and other undesirable things. For tho suko of argument let us admit tho soft Impeachment and not ven ture to suggest tluvt u woman's vanity has tho effect of Inspiring the least cultivated of her sex to some attempt at neatness und decoration, while that of a iium of tho HI.l'E SEliOE COSTUME, snnip class Is so. strong that ho often con ceives himself li resistihlo enough to dis pense w'ith all pretense of personal care. Nothing need bo said about that, because it is undesirable to habitually draw lines f demarcation between men and women and place them in comparison unfavor able to either of them. But there is much to bo suid tin thu ulllrniutivo side of the question, ''Is vunitylo bo donlrodur not!'" A woman who has n reasonable sharo of vanity will dress becomingly as well as neatly and thereby help to brighten the world, which needs nil tho brightijjiing that is to bo had. She will bo courteous becauso sho desires to appear woll. Sho will read a little, even If she has no tasto for it, becauso she does not wish to be thought an ignoramus. But these are mere externals not worth considering In view of tho main advantage, which lies in tho fact that self esteem is the best soul und heart padding In the world. It Is sen sitive to small pricks, but is a shield against wounds in a vital part. Given a thick cushion of vanity, tho possessor is secure from all fatal thrusts in tho region of the ufTootlons, all stubs of conscience, ull lusting, soul iniblttering humiliations. Dress is a vain subject, and a sketch of ono is therefore appropriate. The gown illustrated is of electric bluo diagonal cloth. Tho double breasted Kton jacket fastens with li.rgo pearl buttons and is cut short enough to show a folded whlto silk sash at tho waist. Thero are double rovers of bluo cloth and white moiro. A whlto bosom, collar uud culls aro worn, and a black ncokt in. AIDS TO GROWING OLD. Bow a Woman of Forty-five Slay Appear Sixty. When youth is openly admitted to bo a desirablo thing, it seems strango that many women who aro past their first bloom should chooso to appear so much older thun they really are by means of the wliulcsalo usoof cosmetics. Bleached hair, fucu enamel, rouge and penciled brows und eyelids would make a girl of 15 look 25, and they make a woman of 45 appear nt least 60 In spito of tho fact that they aro putently artificial in all eyes except thoso mWm mm mi i t Ml B mm TEA GOWN. of tho wearer. Although such accessories aro employed by many a woman of un doubted social position and perfect propri ety, they invariably glvo tho Idea of vul garity and arouse a feeling of disrespect In tho observer. In itself there Is no moral transgression Involved in tho uso of cos metics or artificial coloring for the hair, but such practices aro indications of friv olity and bud tasto, and their suggestions and associations aro unpleasant in tho ex treme. But leaving that consideration en tirely out of the question it remains un deniably true that face enamels bring Into ghtujtiy und unnatural prominence the wrinkles that they aro supposed to con ceal; that golden locks and penciled brows niako the pleasant middle aged eyes bo neath look positively blent', and that It re quires only the additional touch of rougo to convert a woman of 40 thus "nmdo up" into nn octogenarian. Simplo cleanliness, which means wash ing tho face as many times a day us is neo cssary with the aid perhaps of some sort of lino soap; good health; tho use of an emollient, such as camphor loo in cold or suuburning weather, ami a dust of rice powder no bismuth on hot days, will keep the complexion in ns good condition as it Is possible for it to be, provided there Is not some disease of tho skin thut re quires medical treatment. Foco specialists bs a class are to bo regarded with sus picion. Many of them make up their own complexions artificially, although they profess thut tho phenomenal pink and whlto fairness Is a natural cffi-ct caused by special scientific treat mcnt. A good di gestion and philosophic views aro tho only certain aids to youthfulnossnf appearance A clear skin depends more on the general health than on anything else, and no in vention that human beings have yet pro duced will prevent ono from growing old. A sketch is given of a tea gown of black niervellleux lined with grass green Bhot silk, the sleeves being of the latter, covered with black net. Accordion plaited black tint drapes tho side of the gown und fulls from the lower edge of tho sleeves. The rallies are of merveilleux, bordered with ecru gulpurt', The Other Hide of the Illrd Question. Looking at it from my immature stand point, I think the people who make such a fuss about birds worn on bonnots are very illogical. It cannot make the slightest dif ference to the bird whether it is to be worn as "a thing of beauty" after it is klllod, or eaten to sustain human nature. It hurts the quail just as much to be klllod for our bonollt as It docs the Wrd of beautiful plumage. We can Just as woll eat vegeta bles or cereals us quail, but the fact of the matter Is man lnys tribute to all othr ani mal life, and if would bi true rofurmers and logical ones we would not weai the skin of the kid, or the beautiful coat of the seal, or the leathc of the sheep or eow, or any of the choice fabrics that cost so many lives.

If a girl has musical talent, by nil means cultivate it, but if sho has not let her learn millinery, dressmaking, hair drcsslng, something that is available for everyday use. She is not obliged to mako it her profession if she does learn It, and sho will be amply repaid for tho small outlay of time and money by the ability to assist herself and her particular friends.

So, if you cure for your daughter's welfare, teach her a trado as well as ac complishments. A sketch is given of a young girl's gown of rose colored crepoti trimmed with bands of white laoo Insertion. Tho skirt is plain, but tho corsago is crossed in front over a full plastron. Tho tight sleeves hnve a puff to tho elbow, and the collar and licit are covered with Insertion. The light brown straw hat Is trimmed with roso col ored ostrich tips and ribbon, NEW ETON JACKETS.
