It la a familiar statement that women Who go to the country for the summer eem to find more delight In their trips to town than their sojourn at tlio rummer resort. The frequency with Which they come Into town depends on their Ingenuity In Inventing tome press. Ing necessity for seeing the dress. maker, the dentist or the doctor. It fa usually tho dentist who serves them jest at an excuse, for be may be made the pretext for visit to town at any time. The superiority of the girl who goes ftenest to town over her associates In the hotel la always noticeable. Sue hares temporarily the continued trl jrnph of the engaged girl, who, ns ev rybody knows, Is looked upon by the Other young women as worthy of envy In the highest degree. f Next to the girl who la engaged and I the girl who goet oftencst to town, the girl who It most frequently called up on the telephone is regarded as a favorite of fortune. To be called up on the long-distance 'phone from New Ixork must mean something serious, nmmer boarders say. It la expensive onough to Imply that the engagement la almost rendy to announce. To be called up once a week to the phone will fill the other young women t the hotel with excitement, whllo to lie called up daily fills the hearts of the others with chagrin, not excluding the engaged one nnd the one that goes Oftenest to town. It Is only by these vicarious methods that girls may be belles In the summer hotels to-day. The number of men In these places Is so smnll and most of . them are so young that actual superior ity among the girls struggling for their attention Is a hollow victory. I "d! an polls News. BEAUTY POX'TS. Don't Indulge in the brlc-a-brno habit; It la responsible for more wrinkles and crow's-feet than age or Illness. Don't scorn to learn of an nlmoml- yed Japanese the secrets of retnlnlng amooth, unfurrowed face. The se cret It that she displays nothing in the drawing room except a lovely flower . and a screen. Don't get tired If you enre to preserve the pristine beauty of a rose-leaf com fdexlon. Don't ahop that s, don't shop the Whole day long in ft 'erlsh excitement, running bargains to irth. Not only are dress and temper ruined, but com plexions oa well. Don't wear gloves too new or too old. New ones cause wrinkles because of their newness; old ones been line of their want of respectability. (J loves are worn too much anyway. Don't always be doing something; fcave intermittent attacks of idling. Don't neglect the afternoon "forty whika." If you don't rest your mirror Will show a new line in your face ev xy day. Don't sleep with the hand nnder the cheek; It will numb and wrinkle the kin. Don't let the Jaw drop Just at the moment of falling asleep; It tends to make lines on either side of the mouth. Don't use powder on the face. It digs Its way into every Hue and digs It deeper and deeper. Don't be afraid, of friction for the face; freshness Is produced by the tepid bath in which bran has been tlrred followed by long friction. This keeps the blood at the surface. Don't Indulge In the essentially femi nine habit of "knitting the brow;" take life less strenuously. Don't always be thinking of some thing. Sometimes think of nothing. Don't let a day pass without relax ing limbs, muscles and expression. Don't fret and don't worry these are .the best cosmetics. Worry la called our national disease, and "American Itls" is Its distinctive name. Don't "putter;" either work, rest or lay. "Puttering" la twin alstor to worrying. Don't put too much of yourself Into the ordering of the household or the management of the servants if you wish to keep fagged-cheeka and hol low eyes at a distance. Don't get wildly excited If Bridget baa neglected to dust the legs of the tall table. Neither the welfare of your family nor that of the nation is In Tolred. Don't exhaust all your reserve fore over petty cares. Each time that a woman loan control over her nervea b moves a fraction of an Inch farther on In the path that leada to prematura oi age. , , JMa't fascat that aa ounce of preven tion Is worth several pounds of cure.

ECONOMICAL MARKETING. Marketing nnd economy are, or should be, synonymous terms. A prop er conception of the. meaning of the word economy Is necessnry In order to grasp the fulness of either term. Econ omy In buying means to pay ns much ns a thing Is worth nnd no more. Ju dicious marketing means purchasing things In their best condition and In their season ami lu not buying more or less of perishable goods thnn whnt Is needed for each day. Violation of this most essential rule is a source of much wnste of money. Economy docs not mean stinginess. Enough Is enough. Generosity does not consist lu a lavish superfluity of food or drink. Flour, grains and dried fruit will keep for nn Indefinite time If stored In n dry place. Beef and mutton should be kept lu a dry, cool place for some time before cooking, but vcnl nnd lamb should be cooked when freshly killed. Fish nnd vegetables cannot be bought too fresh. Poultry should be cooked when fresh, but game requires more time to develop the flavor. The best place to market Is nt the lnrge stores, where there Is n large pa tronage nnd quick snles. In smaller stores goods get stale by standing so long on the shelves. NEW WINDOW DRAPERIES. By economy Is not meant to buy tha cheapest or the highest priced foods. In meats the cheapest Is not the most economical, since It Is npt to be Inferior and tough, in which case it would be the most expensive. The old saying that the best Is the cheapest applies es pecially to meats. American Queen. The question of window and nrch way draperies Is n particularly live one to the present day householder. We nre entering upon whnt nn English writer terms "n renaissance of Interior decoration," nnd the flood tide of French nnd Italian designs that mark nil new fabrics quite sustains bis con clusion. There is no phase of this study In which the Impulse of Inven tion Is felt more strongly thnn In that which deals with new draperies nnd their counterfeits, wnll papers.

In nil the new broendea and dnmnsks, whether costly or of medium grade, nnd agnln repeated in lace embroideries, wall papers nnd the more beautiful cre tonnes, the tendency 1s toward the ex quisitely detailed conventional garland nnd basket and lover's knot designs which characterized French decora tions of every class for 100 or more years preceding Napoleon.

Thla one, WOMAN'S COAT. designed by May Manton, la essen tially smart and la tobnped to take the outlines of the figure without being over snug. As shown It Is made of Rhone blue cheviot, stitched with cor tlcelll allk, and makes part of a cos tume, but the design la equally appro priate for the aeparate coat and for all suiting and coat materials. The coat Is made with fronts that are cut In three sections, back. Bide backs nnd under arm gores, and bo allows of the many seams that mean perfect fit as well as vertical lines and ap parent slendcrness of figure. The neck MISSES' WAIST Is finished In regulation coat style and the fronts lap over to be buttoned In double-breasted fashion. The sleeves are the accepted ones that are without fullness above the elbows, but form puffs at the wrists and are finished with flare cuffs.

The waist consists of the front nnd buck of the fitted foundation, which can be faced to form the yoke or from which the yoke can be cut, the front and backs of the waist and the bertha. The front Is blouscd slightly but the backs are drawn down snugly on the waist Hue.

Style In Winter Mllllnrrr. Lovely petunia and fuchsia insures and magentas are promised lu winter millinery. These tints are beautiful nnd highly decorative, but not every one can wear them. The decided blonde, alike with the decided brun ette, hns difficulty In assimilating them, and they seem to be especially planned for the accommodation of the natural toned woman. She of the medium dark brown hair, medium skin and unob trusive brown eyes generally carries them off successfully; therefore, as this stylo of woman Is In the majority, one may look for a fuchsia and petunia cult Tha Shoulder Rut-he, In order to give the fair mnld the proper width across the shoulders (which is Intended to set off her slim noss below the waist), sleeve trim mings droop lower and lower on the shoulder, and medallions of lace and plnched-out ruchlngs of taffeta or louts Ine silk nre frequently placed as shoulder decoration.

Ing back In small revers faced with white watered silk. Silver fall but tons, seven on each side, are placed on the front of the garment, to eniphnsize the Hues of the revers.
