Liking for Scotch 6tufft. Neit to royalty, Americans are mid to be the greatest admirers and pur chasers of such Individually Scotch ar ticles as cairngorm jewelry, pebble dJrki and hatihots and clan tartans. And next after the Americans come the Danes, who have a fondness amounting almost to a passion for tbe Scotch tar tan plaids. Queen Alexandra is said never to visit her mother country without first laying In a stupendous pile of presents for her relatives, the members of the various households, the servants at King Christian's pal aces, and old friends generally. Scotch things usually figure largely among these girts. Before leaving Hal moral she had a lot of things sent out for Inspection by an Edlnburg firm that makes a specialty of national products and bought largely of shawls, capes, rugs and other things, all strictly Scot tish in material and pattern. For Older Women. Soft wool gowns are most becoming to older women, and should be worn In place of the rather harsher smooth cloths with the shiny surface or the rough serges. There are many differ ent veaves of soft camel's-halr that are useful and practical for the street, and for the house as well, although, whenever It Is possible It Is a good plan for an elderly woman to wear silk. In these days when there are so many bargains to be found In silks, it Is a good Investment to have at least one or two. The Iron grenadines, the plain mesh without figures, are also sultablo for older women, while peau de sole is almost a necessary gown for after noon and Sunday wear. There are a few older women whose figures are built on the fashionablo lines, and even for those favored few the long coat Is one of the best gar ments that can be bought for street wear, either long enough to entire ly cover the gown beneath or just a little shorter. Harper's Bazar. A Boon to Mistresses, A novelty In the "In and out" Indica tors, which are coming more and more Into use, both In private houses and apartments, is shown In one of the shops. It consists of a box made of hardwood, and it is provided with a slit for lettors and has a lock and key. On the outside of the box is a dial, provided with a hand for marking the time of return and on one side of the box la the word "In" and on the other the word "Out" On the top of the box la a small white slnte In a mahogany frame, with a pencil attached. This, of course, mny be replaced with a pen cil and pad if preferred. The cost of this extremely convenient article, which saves the servants from fib toll ing and the misconstruction of parting message or our nearest neighbor from being annoyed with our coming and goings, is the trifling sum of $2.75 the word trifling is used advisedly, as anything that will save trouble for the servants is certainly greatly to be desired in these days when "warn ings" may be expected at any moment. Pittsburg Dispatch. - The Vogue of the Amazon Hat. The new Amazon shape is the one Cenarally chosen for silk hats, about the maintenance of which as a really fashionable style for Winter there is eonaiderable hesitation. Since the dale of my last letter I have -seen some models that promise better than those first in the field. These have not ahown the sleek glossy aspect of the modern masculine hat. The pile, lu ' stead of being carefully smoothed down, is brushed back the wrong way, which relieves It of the hard and rigid appearance usual to the ordinary silk .hat. In different shades of fawn and beige they look very chic and stylish. Both these and the sleek Amazon bat have very high crowns, generally wideulng at the top. Frequently the brim is somewhat wider on one side and rolled over more or less. Some have one wide folded band of velvet around the crown with a broad buckle In front. Others have two narrow plain bands, secured by small oblong buckles at the side. Moreover, the up turned brim on the left receives a certain amount of trimming. The sim plest have a all 1c or velvet cockade, the more elegant a plume of ostrich tips or coque feathers. Tbe Millinery Trade Hevlew. "The Happy Afternoon Club." I know of several ladles in the mid dle walks of life where the most of us belong who, not being able to af ford help continuously, had little time at their disposal, and not desir ing to let their minds grow rusty. formed themselves into what they termed "Tbe Happy Afternoon Club." One day in the week one of these moth. re took charge of all the children of the other women, having them aasem- bled at her home for the afternoon, where he entertained them In hat own way with games, stories, moslo, etc. while the other club members (this club consisted of four ladles) took their pleasure and recreation la any manner desired, either in some form of entertainment, a lecture, mat inee, sightseeing or in quiet reading and study together. Their minds be ing easy about their children, they could enjoy themselves in their own fashion. I know of no way In which fay half a dozen or less, mothers could help each other more than in this manner. Of course, the mother whoso duty it is to have charge of the little ones pledgee herself to devote her time to them, so the playing moth ers fool secure In the tiionght that their children are safer and happier than when under the care of hired help. At the same time tills will be giving the children of tho caretaker tho first lessons in c-ntertalning, and thus be made a benefit all around. Woman's Home Companion. Topic Tips. "Walatings" for the autumn are un usually attractive this year, Including as they do soft, fine flannels and pret ty silks in fancy and striped effects and In checks and plaids. White and cream grounds are favorites, although every modish color is offered. Flannels, embroidered and silk striped, are con sidered very smart. As fashion still endorses the shirt waist, as well as the shirtwaist cos tume, is behooves one to make early selections before the best patterns are exhausted. Another sartorial edict Is that to be "smart" the separate waist and skirt must harmonize in color, the waist carrying the principal tone of the skirt, no matter what tbe ma terials. The heavier cotton fabrics will again be worn In waists during the winter, and the now models continue to pre sent unique and charming features In yokes, sleeves and finish. Corduroy of soft and lustrous finish Is among tho early fall materials, and Is being fashioned Into attractive walk ing coetumes. Browns, dark blue and especlnlly gun metal gray are the lead tng tores in these goods. All the old favorites In the rough faced fabrics, such as chovlots, zlbe lines and camel's hair, are still to lie In high vogue, only their long silky hair seems "more so." They are charming for winter gowns, being rich and heavy looking and yet so fine and light of weight. They come In all the fashionable colors, rich glossy blacks and in two-tuned black and gray ef fects. Preparing for the Dressmaker. If one only knew how much time and trouble was saved by having every thing in readiness for the dressmak er when she arrives in. the morning, and how much more she could accom plish in the day, they would accept many of the following suggestions, and have everything handy for her. How often it is the case that she ar rives with nothing prepared, and by the time everything Is found and plans talked over enough time has elapsed for a frock to be cut out. In the first place have the machine well oiled and thoroughly cleaned, so that the seamstress will not have to spend a half hour or so doing this her self. Have also prepared tor her an old clean sheet, on which her chair may be put, and which will catch all tho threads, scraps, and pins. This will do away with the disagreeable "cleaning up" afterwards. Have a good supply of pins for her, also basting thread and French chalk, white if tho fabric be dark and slate blue otherwise. This chalk brushes en tirely away, leaving no mark. Have the cutting table up, and on it your pattern, a pair of large sharp ctsslrs, a tape measure, and your pins. Hare a comfortable cushioned chair for her; you will be surprised what a difference this often makes In the disposition and then besides, think for how many hours she Is to Bit there and sew. See that you have a good supply of hooks and eyes, bones, needles, etc., as nothing is so disagreeable as to run out of these seemingly small but Important things. Don't forget, especially if she be young, to send a sweet of some kind to her with her luncheon. This seems a little thing, but when are we not glad of a little something out of ths ordinary, especially if we are tired? If one has much sewing done at borne it is almost essential to have a little gas stove and an iron in the sewing room, as all dressmaking requires so much, pressing. A little board should also be softly and cleanly covered; a dampening cloth and a piece of wax be near at hand. This Is not always necessary, if not much sewing in cloth is done, or if one Is favored with a good-natured cook who does not object to the seam stress coming into the kitchen to press. If these suggestions are followed you will be surprised how much can b accomplished in one day, for It is the many little thing that count and make a tremendous whole.

Imported Servants Unsatisfactory, "Tbe theory that it la good policy to get a servant from the other side of the water and break him or her in to suit the requirements of the house' hold is pretty well exploded," said the head of a large family. "Threo times in five years I have made the expert ment, but 1 never shall again. It takes abcut eight months to teach a raw foreign girl her business. After she has learned it she usually leaves to take service in another family. It Is curious that some of the most valua ble servants in Europe become utterly worthless when they are imported In to this country. "Like many other Americans, I fre quently have been struck by the elflc iency of servants in English house' holds, and both my brother aud I Im ported them from London to act as waitresses and housemaids. We have never found them available. Tbe dif ferent conditions governing the rela tions of master and servant almost In variably turn their beads, aud they are seldom able to do anything outside of the beaten paths of their duties. Amer ican servants must bays an all-around efficiency. An Ens-iah nouaemald would no more thjuk of performing the minor functions' of the cook than of writing shorthand with her toes."

Large sliver or gold rings are used to Join the back to tbe straight front pieces. These belts are In all colors, but with blue serge the natural suede color 1 prettiest. In soft kid are some of tha newest belts. They may be drawn tight around the waist or left straight, for they are broader in the back than in the front.

If one can Judge by the display nt the leading millinery departments. Every bit of headgear tins a crown of some kind, higher or lower, as the cose may be, but yet a decided olevntlon above the flat, far-spreading brim.
