FASHION NOTES.
Small maidens wear large pokes of
shirred velvet, with a leather em
broidery about the brim and a wealth
of plumes nodding above.
Borne pokes have soft velvet crowns
and narrow brims, arrnged in u high
circle above the faoc. Buuohes of tinv
pluuieH or velvet flowers ure placed
under tho brim.
For debutantes nothing is prettier
than tho sunburst pluited chiffon,
mounted over white satin and with
sprays of llowerß iu velvet and silk
foriniug girdle, edging deoolletage,
and drooping ovor bare arm und
shoulders, forming both straps and
sleoves.
Black volvet hats witli black feathers
and large turquoise ornaments for tho
only color arc ono of the latest fancies
of fashion. And a novel toque is
made of turquoise blue and brown vel
vet, wido in shape, with au aigrette of
tuberoses. Flowers are goneroußly
employed on winter bats, and camil
lias, gardenias and violets seem to be
in tho lead in Paris.
Pretty collar bands for dresses aro
made of bias volyet in any light or
bright shade, slightly draped and
gathered in two short loops at the
back, where they fasten. The volvet
is beaded with steel, pearl, turquoise,
jet or rbinestono nail heads, and the
frill commencing at the side and.ex
tending across tho baek is made of
white chiffon, edged with yellow laec.
There are tailor-made Gaits for the
maiden of twelve—a real shaped skirt
with jacket, worn over a fancy
chemisette or blouse, and blouse
bodices that turn away with lapels
showing a fancy chemisette and stoek.
The tailor also makes sack ooats with
strapped seams, long ulsters with many
buttons and qnite as many pockets,
und fur-trimmed cloaks rich with er
mine or sable.
Dotted mull is charming with a
double skirt, both layers mounted iu
gathers, forming a yoke over a satin
underskirt. The lower of tho mull
skirts is trimmed with rows of yellow
and pink satin ribbon,alternating,four
at the hem and two just below the
shirred yoke. The overskirt is of equal
length all about, but opens up tho
front to uuveil the ribbon-trimmed
one, and is edged all about with a ruche
of white mull,in which is twined a fine
vine of yellow blossoms and green
leaves.
Charming dresses are made of black
Mechlin net, innocent of any decora
tion except the finish of jet-sequincd
trimming on the bodice. Three ruches
of the net set in several inches apart
make a protty finish for the skirt, and
the sleeves are doable frills of net ar
ranged very short, as all sleeves aro in
full evening dress. A twist of rose
pink velvet at tho neck, with fall loops
on one shoulder, is the touch of color
whioh every block gown, whether it is
for day or evening wear, must have
this season.
A pretty pale blue gown of mousse
line de soie with satin stripes and tiny
dots has a very narrow rnche of fine
black net set around the skirt a little
way from the bottom, at the lower
edge of a cream lace insertion. The
same inserticn forms the yoke to the
simple full waißt, and is edged around
aud outlined between with this tiny
ruelie of black. Tab ends of insertion,
finished in the same way, fall over the
sleeves, aud black satiu ribbou, five
inches wide, forms the belt, bow and
long sash ends at the back. Tho little
ruche can be made of dotted or plain
net, chiffon or footing, not more than
an iuoh wide, and is doubled and
I gathered in the centre.
1 HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BROOM BRIDLE.
The thrifty houGowife long ago dis
covered that to sew a piece of cloth on
the npper part of n broom did much
to increase its allotted time of useful
ness, bat it remained for a man to
devise a wire attachment that would
serve the same purpose, and might be
transferred from broom to broom.
This patented device, while simplicity
itself, effectually prevents the broom
from losing its shape. It consists of
wire arms encircling the broom and
fastened around the handle, where
they are clampod in position by a
Bliding ring. The broom-encircling
arms are also provided within a slid
ing ring, which admits of adjustment
from time to time.
FURNISHING A GUEST ROOM.
A woman's idea of hospitality may
bo gathered sooner from n glance at
her guest room than from attending
twenty teas and half as many dinners
at her house. And not infrequently
this same guest room proclaims a mis
tress a very poor hostess.
A guest room should not suggest to
its occupant that she is expected to
leave as soon as may be. Half emp
tied bureau drawers and closets with
three or four pegs in use are equiva
lent to a command that the guest cut
her visit short.
The room should have a habitable
air and should not suggest the mauso
leum.
If possible, have a lounge, or at
least, a low, capacious armchair, fur
nished with a cozy, usable cushion or
two—not the heavily embroidered
affair which plainly says, "Touch mo
010 not!" Then at the head of the
lounge, or beside the chair, place a
substantial table, aid on it scatter a
few books, ranging from grave to gay,
and one or two late magazines or jour
nals—not thoße dating six months
back.
Let the dressing table stand in a
good light, ami see that it is furnished
with all the small toilet accessories,
pins, hair pins, a whisk broom a hand
mirror, a bottle of violet water, nnd
all the trifles required by the fastidi
ous woman.
Next and perhaps most important
of all, is the wash hand stand. Let
the toilet set be roomy and complete,
and be sure to supply a capacious foot
bath. Let there be a generous pro
vision of towels, generous both as to
Bize and quantity, and do not fail to
provide a Turkish bath mat, so that
the guest may enjoy her morning tub
without a haunting fear of spiashed
rugs and mildewed carpets.
A writing table or small desk is also
indispensable to tho comfort of thoso
who tarry beneath your vino und fig
tree. Furnish it generously with sta
tionery, with various kinds of pons,
with a good big blotter, with a calen
dar, a paper cutter, nnd, last of all, an
ink stand filled with good fresh, black
ink—not tho stiffened paste usually
found in the bottom of the spare room
ink well.

A Southern farmer, whose home is somewhat in the
backwoods, in an interview with a newspaper correspondent
said: "1 am 61 years old, and until I was nigh unto years
old I was always well and peart, then for a long while 1 suf
fered with indigestion and could not eat anything hardly at
all." My daughter, who lives in the city, sent me some of
Ripans Tabules

me. 1 want you to tell everybody how i got cured, for it is
a blessing to humanity."
