PURELY FEMININE

WHEN PURSE IS LIGHT ’WOMAN OF INGENUITY EASILY CAN BE WELL DRESSED. Some Old Clothes, a Little Wit and Some Work Can Produce Won*. *'o, derful Results— Stripes Are Immensely Stylish. It goes without saying that a costume Is far easier to make than a coat suit, and there 1b one style at [present much exploited In the shops which might well appeal to home sew* ers. This is the dress-of one-piece effect showing a little bodice with a plaited tail and puffings for trimminigß. 'With it goes the snuggest sort of a

short skirt, decked like the waißt with puff bands, and sometimes holding two funny little shirred, pockets on the .front panel. In a dark silk, with tt\e ■ usual white touches on the bodice, this frock has a most practical value, for while suited to general service it can be made very smart with a dressy hat, dainty shoes and otber proper accessories. It is the fad to carry huge envelope bags with these dresses, when they are worn outdoo'rs, and when the

wearer is very young and pretty she may add to the qualritneas of her appearance by wearing one of the picturesque poke bonnets which are so pretty for youthful faces. A long coat or a shoulder mantle of velvet or velveteen. the long ends tying over at the front, will be worn over this little frock In the street, and when the wrap is removed the costume is at once ready for the house. About eight yards of sHk or satin-in the usual narrow width are required for the medium figure, and as the waist is gathered there is scarcely any fitting. This stylish and useful little dress is shown in our illustration, the material being silk in a dim wistaria shade. The vest and undersleeves are of cream net and Val lace, treated to a little needlework in wistaria linen floss.* ’ A double-faced satin, or silk could be used for this style, with the puffings made up on the facing side; but it is far more usual to have all one color and one material and the effect is far better than when the trimming contrasts. Aniy soft wool, such as cashmere or veiling or marquisette, id adapted to the style, but although a very light and pliable cloth may also be used a thinner texture gives a better look. In fact, silk and satin are par excellence the materials for the graceful and youthful model. The surplice bodice styles and tunle skirts also recommend themselves to domestic sewers, for draped are far less difficult to accomplish than plain ones, and such models are very useful for a combination of materials and for making over two old frocks into one. Apropos of materials, stripes are to be immensely stylish, for of all patterns they give the slimmest look; moreover, a street suit in a good striped wool requires no trimming other than good buttons and straight stitching. Sometimes homy! ingenuity is carried to th# point qf utmost brilliancy, the sewer thinking of little things the paid dressmaker would never dare attempt. *>>'./■ \ Some old clothes, a little wit and some money to buy a few things, and anybody can be well dressed. But the gentle art of the needle comes first, for, even if she has her frocks made, no woman can be perfectly dressed without understanding the needs of her figure and ftce in tHte most practical way. At any rate, the owner of the light pocketbook must sew.

About Broadcloths.

Though fashions may come and go, through weaves vary and dress goods of many and various kinds be adopted by that whimsical personage, Dame Fashion, broadcloth is always in favor. It is one of the aristocrats of the dress goods realm and its place is always assured. This year the tendency In broadclothß is toward those with a very high luster— the more brilliant and satiny the sheen, the better madame will like her cloth. Smart autumn suits are of broadcloth, elaborately trimmed —frequently with handsome sjlk braids, often with rich and deep-toned velvets. But not alone for suits and tailored costumes is broadcloth in demand. For handsome wraps, street coats, evening garments and afternoon toilettes broadcloths will be fashionable.

Millinery Wrinkles.

When a separate loop of wire is inserted in a hat bow it often has an extremely annoying habit of asserting its presence by poking out A stitch is not always advisable, aa it may spoil the look of the bow. Here is quite a good dodge when dealing with piece silk. The loops are made the required width from a strip cut on the straight The selvedge, is one side and the other is hemmed. Into the hem a round millinery wire is pushed before making up the loop and Is gives ths bow a smart upstanding appearance, keeping it exact ly in the required position. Bows wired in this, way are most valuable when motor veils are worn, as they come up smiling after the crushing inevitably sustained. Though you might not think it, the bow looks smarter if the side that is hemmed (what one naturally would call “the wrong side”) la used for tbe front It looks like a strapping slipped' and the wire acts aa a kind of piping,.

All embroidered linen and mousseline dresses -show the band of velvet, satin and mousseline. The note at color seen at the hem Is frequently repented at the waist or about the corsage.

Packey McFarland still hopes. Fogel thinks it’s Alexander the Ingrate. Coach Cavanaugh seems to be doing things at Dartsmouth. A Chinaman on the Brown team? Change the college yell. Who is the most valuable man in the National league, anyhow? *Davey Jones is slated to join the “ones who were” next season. Notre Dame appears, to be pretty well frozen out of football now. Perhaps it is called Indian summer on account of the football games. Minnesota’s football team is making haste more slowly this season. Karla, the Indian wrestler, is seeking a match with Mahmout or Zbyszko. It looks as if Harvard were to have a real nice football team this year, too. Late season golf doesn’t make much more of a hit than late season baseball. Why not a world’s series for the Boston Nationals and the St. Louis Browns? Usually a strike for more salary by a baseball player presages a falling off in ability. Kid McCoy Is also coming back. Ht knocked out some dub the other night in New York. Italian prize fighters with Turk names have been placed in the most absurd position. A rumor now that Ad Wolgast was contemplating aetirement would sour next year's peach crop. Japan having taught Russia the bear dance, Italy will try teaching the sublime ports the turkey trot Apparently lack of ability to "make’* the team is the cause for much of the “parental objection” to football. For reports on the prowess of Chicago football players one has to read the results of eastern college games. Unless Maroon football players Improve their kicking considerably, most of the kicking will be done by the rooters. Yost is not going to quit Michigan. Even the Imagined loss of Yost and Jennings In one fell swoop would hurt the state. Bob Beecher, the Reds’ outfielder, has stolen apre bases this year than any other phkyer ever did In the National Bob has stolen 79 bases, which beats Jimmy Sheckard’t record of 78 In I*o9.

GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM

DUTcH COUNTRY LIFE

WEEKLY CHEEBE MARKET IS AN INTERESTING EVENT. 4 Much Noise and Excitement Accompany the Trading—Quaint Custom*, and Costumes on Farms and j <tn Fishing Districts. One of the recent consular reports is devoted to the interesting features of quaint country life in Holland. Next to cattle raising, It says, the dairy furnishes the Netherlands’ most important agricultural products, especially fine butter and cheese. It is the custom for farmers to come once a week on a fixed day into the nearest town with their peculiar shaped wagons filled with yellow cheese. Dutch cheese is dyed red on the outside only for export. The buyers generally make their appearance on the market about ten o’clock, and each sale is concluded by a special method of handshaking. The noise and excitement that prevail in these markets are not unlike the typical wheat pit of an American produce exchange. Edam, a few miles from Amsterdam, is possibly the most important cheese center, and gives its name to the produce of that section. In addition to the cheese made on a small scale by individuals, there are many large cheese factories throughout the Netherlands. Oil production by the fanners of the Netherlands In a small Way, with “stampers,” can be traced as far back as the seventeenth century. This primitive method was superseded by stones driven by wind power. Many of these small oil mills also had a grain grinding equipment, and a number of them are still in operation. The modern oil industry is centered around Zaandam. The total number of oil mills in Holland, according to Statistics for the year 1906, is 220, and these employ over 3,000 workmen. In the fishing districts and on the farms the old-time Dutch customs are still to be found. The quaint costume of the women, with the ancient headdress and the full skirts, remains the pride of the Holland huisvrouv (housewife), and the men, with their wide, baggy trousers, are no less picturesque. The milkmaid, with her two milk cans, polished like silver and swung from a specially built shoulder yoke, Is a feature of the street scene In any village.

The Pill City.

"Whatever a city makes more of than any other city inhabitants seem proud of,” said a hotel clerk. “Even pills. I don’t see anything in pills particularly to appeal to civic pride, but a guest who registered here yesterday did. In his hurry he forgot to write his residence after his name. I said, ‘Where from?' “ ‘Why, sir,’ he said, ‘l’m from the pill city.’ “ ‘Pill city?' I wondered, for to my knowledge I had never made the acquaintance of that town. “ 'Yes, sir,’ said he, and then he wrote Detroit. “ ‘Detroit,’ Bald our guest, ‘is the head of the pill Industry in this or any other country. We inake more pills in Detroit every year than in any other city in the world.’ “I had heard many glories ascribed to Detroit, but here was a new source of distinction.”

The Answer Polite.

A woman- was continually accusing her servant of extravagance without any real cause. The servant always bore this accusation patiently. One day the servant informed her mistress that the coal had all been consumed. This was followed by the usual remarks on the part of the mistress, who finished up by saying: “You evidently sat them." The next day the candles were all gone. “Candles gonel" said the mistress. “Why I bought half a pound only a fortnight ago.” “Oh, - well," rejoined the servant, who could stand this sort of thing no longer. “I can tell you where the candles have gene. I ate them, to grease my throat so that I could swallow the coal more conveniently."— Red Hen.

Memorial to Lewis Carroll.

Speaking at a church bazaar at Llandudno yesterday the rector announced that it had been decided to place a memorial in the new church on the west shore to the late Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). the author of “Alice in Wonderland." The place which inspired the author was within a few yards of the church, and the local authorities were taking eafiw that the spot should be saved for children to play there for all time” — London Daily Mail.

Twenty-Five Years Honce.

We know not what will be the color of the journalism of the future, but of this we are assured: The casual reader picking up a newspaper 25 years from today will find a letter from an old subscriber, who writes tn to ask if any one can remember the words of that old song, “Kaa Any One Here Been Kelly?" And, by the way, how many of the present generation could get further than the chorus of the great production If asked to write it out? —Chicago News.

Decided That Tramp Who Wouldn't Work Was -OrtO of New Invest!- M gating Commission^.” A tramp slept in the barn of a farm near Raritan a few nights ago, and In the morning presented himself at the house for breakfast. The family gazed at him in astonishment; fo* such hair as his bad never been seen. In that farming community. It was as thick as it was long, arid it came to his shoulders. It stood out aggressively, as did his untrimmed whiskers. On top of his head was a small derby hat, incongruous In size and shape. After be had eaten heartily of oatmeal and cream and ham and eggs, the fanner got up courage to ask him If he would work, as he was short-hand-ed for the threshing that day. “I am forbidden,” loftily replied he of the redundant locks. "Who forbade yon?” demanded the farmer. "The government,” solemnly affirmed the tramp. “The government’s a durtsed sight too paternal,” roared the fanner after the retreating figure "And \l’d like to know where reciprocity comes In,** he added. “There goes my food and I get nothing for it.” Later in the day, when he learned that the Tramp had gone to the next farm and claimed a second breakfast, he was still more enraged. “I suppose the government told him to eat at every farm —threshing time, too—-and never do a lick of work. Say, I bet he’s one of them investigatin’ commissions. They never do any real work; That’s what he Is!” —New* York Herald.

Donjon de Vincennes Restored.

, famous Donjon de de Vincennes, which has played no small part In the history of Paris, Is shortly to be opened to the public. This wonder of mediaeval architecture —it Is a stone edifice, dating almost entirely from the early fourteenth century—• has for many years been little better than a military barracks, but, thanks to the society which calls himself “Amis de Vincennes,” the military an* thorittnes have consented to give up the chateau, with its chapel, towers, and remarkable walls. The five floors of' the donjon are now being freed of the old military fitting, harnesses, and old arms which encumbered them, and the magnificent stairway, the prisons, council chamber, inquisition chamber, and apartment of Charles V. are being restored to their former condition. It is not proposed to turn the donjon into any sort of museum, but simply, to leave it free to public inspection as one of the most remarkable architectural monuments to be found near Paris. —Paris Correspondent London Globe. f

Salt on French Roads.

As a general rule the roads in and around French towns are tarred at the commencement of -the summer in order to abate the dust nuisance. It has, however, been found that tar, although excellent in the case of macadamized roads, is of little or no value where car lines exist and paved street crossings intersect the roads in etery direction, as tarring cannot be carried out on stones. • The authorities, basing their action on the well-known hygfometrtcal prop, erties of common salt, have made a test of its value in laying the dust. Twenty yards of roadway have been sprinkled liberally with salt and then watered freely. If the results are satisfactory, salt will be used throughout the town of Havre, it being impossible to tar the majority of the streets as they are paved with rough stone blocks.—From Consular and Trade Reports.

Cook Book Photography.

“Baying meat with the help of pie* tores is the latest fad," said a botcher. “I’d give a dollar to know who started It . I’d lihe to send him to Jail. Every cook book prints pictures showing )ust how the different cots of meat ought to look, and the housekeepers who are green at buying bring them along to, goby. "Such people are enough to drive you craxy. They look first at the pictures, then at the meat. They say I must be trying to cheat them because the piece of beef I call sirloin looks more like the picture of a ramp steak. Just as If I cut up meat every time according to cookbook photographs. I My only consolation is that the women seem to have as much trouble over it as I do, so I am hoping they will soon get tired.” . .
