SOMETHING ABOUT BEAUTIFUL AND FAULTLESS HANDS.

The Way "Sleep Slipper*" Are Made. What Conntltutea a True Wife The Well Bred Girl—Woman and Book*—The

Way* of Women Known to Fame.

A beautiful and faultless baud Is a more rare and unusual gift than a beautiful face, and now that the fashionable young woman is expected to display a very mannish disregard of the delicacy and whiteness of her fingers and to blister and burn them through the summer months playing all manner of outdoor games guiltless of gloves, their ugliness presents quite a formidable problem when the return to the frivolities and fluff of civilization demands a sudden transformation from summer sunburn to winter snow and softness. A pair of brown strong hands clasped about a canoe paddle or wielding a tennis racket with strength and skill as well, present a more charming picture to the masculine mind than those same brown hands folded in idle grace over the frills of a dainty house dress and looking all the darker and coarser in contrast and the tender touch of a woman's hand never could arouse any of the ecstatic thrills which the new school of novelists delight in depicting if the hand was hard with callouses, rough with half healed blisters, and the impression conveyed strangely suggestive of the caress of a grater.

No a woman's hand, to be the thing of beauty the Creator designed it to be, should have a delicacy of coloring, a slenderness of outline and a touch like the sweep of a butterfly's wing against the breast of a rose. Besides, an ungainly, ill kept hand is like bad grammar—hardly reconcilable with the idea of gentility. It is hardly possible to materially change the shape of our hand, but it is said that, if snit.ll, tapering thimbles be put upon a growing child's Angers each night and held in place by tight gloves of kid, that it will, if persisted in a number of years, make tbem blender and shapely. Pew people, especially those young enough to be affected by it, would submit to this treatment, and it is hardly warrantable, as a white, blue veined hand, with nicely polished nails, is a delight to tho eye, while its shape may be and is an index to the owner's character which he who runs may read.

Of course every lady keeps her hands clean, and it is hardly necessary to mention that perfect cleanliness is tho first requisite to a soft and white hand. This cleanliness is only brought about by two or three daily scrubbings with a brush, and with the vigor usually applied to remove the grime from the little list of the proverbially small boy. No matter how dainty may be your occupation, the water used should be warm, not hot, and the soap be generous in quantity and purest of the pure in quality. There are several efficacious remedies for whitening the hands used by their advocates and inventors. One is the use of lemon juice and glycerine another which is very highly recommended is Indian meal and glycerine and still another is the country girl's lotion, sour buttermilk, whose acid removes stain and sunburn, and whose oil is peculiarly beneficial in making the skin aofb and itmootb. Any preparation U£$d at night is more efficacious if kid gloves are worn, and perhaps no wiser and less harmful process can be suggested than the careful cleansing through the day with warm water and castilo soap, and the application at night of rose water and glycerine Covered with kid or rubber gloves.

Handsome nails, which display a crescent of white at the base and a delicate pink tint throughout, are as much a gift as the poet's genius or the artist's skill, but one visit to the manicure will enable you to see how even the most ugly ones may be attractive and pleasing if nice care is taken to trim away thorough skin at the base, which should never be dono without first soaking them in worm water, to file the edges in a smooth curve, following the outlines of the finger tip, and to polish the surface every day. Probably an hour each week devoted to the care of the nails, with a little time spent each day in polishing and cleaning them carefully, will keep them in nico order, and they should never be cleaned with any kind of a sharp instrument, as that roughens the surface so that they retain the dust which drifts under them.

It is said by salesladies in glove stores that a lady who can wear a No, 5 glove is as uuusual as one who wears a No. 18 shoe, and that a largo hand looks better smaller gloved in a mouaquetaire of undressed kid, because of the loose folds about the wrist, and that tight sleeves are as unbecoming to a large h&ud, whether gloved or ungloved, as low heels to along foot.—-New York Sun.

The Well Bred Olr).

Do you know many well bred girls? Oh, they can always be told. A well bred girl thanks the man who gives her a spat in tho street car, and doe* it in a quiet and not an effusive way.

She doesn't turn around to look after gamblers or posing actors on the street, and she doesn't think that her good looks are causing the men to stare at her.

She doesn't wear all her jewelry in the daytime, and she understands that diamond rings, earrings and bracelets were intended for the evening alone.

She doesn't go to sapper after the theatre is over alone with a man. She does not declare that sbe never rides in street cars.

She does not accept a valuable present from any man unless she expects to marry him.

She does not talk loud in public places. She does not speak of her mother in a sarcastic way, and sbe shows her the loving deference that is her due.

She doesn't want to be a man and she doesn't try to imitate him by wearing stiff hats, smoking cigarettes and astag an occasional igD. doesn't say she bates women, and she has some good, true friends among them.

She doesn't wear boots without their buttons or a frock that needs mending. She doesnt scorn the use of the needle, and expects some day to make clothes for very Utile people who will be very dear to her.

Tbatfs the well brsd girl she's the sort that jou want for your wife, who will be faithful through sickness and through health, throogfe sorrow and, if wed be, through shame who will never waver in her love, aad in whom the heart of her husband may safely trust.— Philadelphia Times.

fully planned and will be found to make a neatly fitting and comfortable shoe. A skein of Qerm&atown wool, in white or some delicate or bright color, and a little Shetland wool or knitting silk for the ankle edge, are the materials required.

With a bone crochet needle make a chain of eight stitches. Work, in short crochet, all around this chain, making two stitches in the fourth chain, so that there are fifteen in the row. Work three rows around this little oval, widening at each aid and at the middle —where the first widening was made. After these rows, *iden only at the middle until twenty or twenty-two rows are completed. Now work back and forth, omitting eleven stitches—five on each side of the middle stitch. These sixteen rows are crocheted alternately on titie back and the front loops of the work, so that the stitch may resemble the rest of the shoe.

Crochet together at the heel, and begin the an This is quite plain, six rows in short crochet, missing a stitch at the corners where the eleven stitches were left. This narrowing shapes a slender ankle.

Then vork one row of double crochet, for a cord or ribbon to be run in. This row is not narrowed, neither are the two plain rows of short crochet which follow it.

Now with the Shetland wool or the silk make a row of scallops thus: one short crochet, miss one, five double crochet, miss one, one short crochet. Repeat.

If silk is used, be careful to fasten it strongly and leave an inch of the silk run in at the wrong side of the work. A crocheted cord, or, still prettier, a narrow white ribbon run in around the ankle and tied in dainty bows, finishes the pretty gift which may be accompanied with the most graceful expression of your good wishes for a "good night and happy dreams."—E. Cavazza in Wide Awake.

Pins and Needles.

Female students are now admitted to Wesley an university. The Crouse Memorial College for Women, a new institution at Syracuse, N. Y., gives promise of great success. It has very fine buildings.

It is worth while to paste light manilla paper over the back of every picture frame not already so protected, as it effectually prevents dust from reaching the pictures. It is always done nowadays by first class framers.

There will be an effort made to break up the custom of professional entertainers employed to assist or relieve the hostess at dinners and receptions. The abuse of it has suggested abolition of the "fad."

The Female college at Mount Holyoke, itass., has a fund which is used to assist poor students. It is one of theoldest American institutions for the higher education of women. fo keep highly polished brass free from tarnishing cover it with a thin coat of varnish made of shellac dissolved in alcohol. So long as the varnish remains the brass will continue to remain bright. The article should be warm when the varnish is applied.

There are many more applicants for admission to Smith College for Women at Northampton, Mara., than can be accommodated. It is a melancholy fact that nearly all the professors of the gentle sex at this college are unmarried.

Do not wash the head in well water, because tho lime usually found therein renders the hair harsh and dry also eventually killing off the young roots, reducing the finest head of hair, in process of time, to a thin, wiry mass.

Do not use a fine toothed comb iu order that you may "clean the dirt out" of your head the fine teeth scrape the tender, young hair just as it is fairly started, thus ruining it. These same teeth may indeed draw oat the dust and dandruff, but they also quite as surely irritate the scalp, destroy the "hair cells," and in tho end produce a fine new crop of dandruff.

It is comparatively easy to exterminate black antB. The little red ants are, however, very hard to get rid of.

Mlas Hargons' Boudoir.

Here is a description of the beautiful Miss Hargous' boudoir She is a dark eyed, Spanish looking woman, and the room was furnished with a view to forming a becoming background for her own loveliness. The walls are of rough finished plaster, colored a pale, dull gold, with a friete of dull, gray green flowers. The hangings and carpets are the same dull green and the curtains are embroidered with gold of a tint to match the walls. On either side of the deep tiled fireplace, with brass andirons, is a wide lounge, fhat on the right is covered with a tiger skin, the head of it lying on the floor and nudHny a footstool for the oocupant's slim, slippered feet. This and the opposite lounge, which is covered with a black bear skin, are heaped with cushions of a pale gold and a red that is almost black it is so dark. At the end of one of these lounges stands a tall scrolled brass lamp with a pale gold shade and underneath it a table of pierced copper work from Persia, which holds a set of Persian porcelain cups and saucers and as old Persian silver teapot for afternoon tea. On either side of the window stands a big dull red earthen jsx, which holds a tall palm that is almost a trie, and the two form an arch of green over tlie window. There is a long Louis Quinze table near the window, fitted up with all tbs appliances for writing, in *ilvsr. There are book shelves, many d»ep, soft obairs and A Louis Quince cabinet, holding some very rax* and beautiful bits of Venetian glass, which, with the etchings that hang on the wall, are the beauty's special weakness, and into which all the money she can spare from her wardrobe is invested.— World.

^msm% The Sex and Books.

Why is it that the books in the house ally belong to the iuen? asks a correspondent of The Cleveland Prats. Married women seldom accumulate them, but speak of the* room used for reading and writing as "my husbands library," And verily, it ishls. The other rooms at the boos* tfcs hatband and wife enjoy in common, but in this the wif* abdioatss all right—except the right to Iwep it in order. Perhaps thar# is a shelf in some corner where she has tacked sway a row of school books—a French grammar, a botany, a universal history—relies of her seminary days. These she dusts carefully, and touches caressingly as she passes opens one, perhaps, tothepsg* where the four leaved clover is pinned. She was accounted intellectual in that day.

A True Wife.

It is not to sweep the house, make the beds, darn the socks and cook the meals chiefly that a man wants a wife. If this is all he needs, a servant can do it cheaper than a wife. If this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady, send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cake die has made him to inspect the needlework and bedmaking or put a broom in his hand and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise young man will quickly look after them. But what the true young wants with a wife is her companionship, sympathy and love. The way of life has many dreary places in it, and a man needs a wife to go with him. A man is sometimes overtaken by misfortunes tie meets with failures and defeat trials and temptations beset him, and he needs one to stand by and sympathise. He has some hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies and sin, and he needs a woman that, when he puts his arm around her, he feels he has something to fight for she will help him to fight she will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart inspiration. All through life, through storm and through sunshine, conflict and victory, through adverse and through favoring winds, man needs a woman's love.—The Lady.

^J'tfpThe Cooking Clock, The latest achievement in portable doubleaction furniture is the cooking clock. It is made of white wood, stained cherry, and is constructed after the style of the old fashioned graudfather's clock. The lower part of this mighty engine of domestic economy contains a gasoline stove, which, when in use, is pulled out like a drawer from its resting place. Below the stove is a receptacle for kitchen ware, while above it is a china closet containing four shelves. Above all this is perched a calendar clock, back of which is attached a gasoline vapor tank, which is connected with the stove by a pipe concealed behind the case. To the left, and fitted securely to one side of the case, is an Argand burner supplied with gas generated by the gasoline vapor tank above mentioned. When cooking is in progress the woodwork of the stove clock is protected by a sheet of asbestos paper, which is placed back of the stove. When the stove, china closet, etc., are not in use they are pushed back into the case, the front of which is decorated with a handsome mirror. Besides this multiplicity of useful combinations the ingenious inventor has found room within the magical case for a writing desk and a drawer, $r writing materials.—New York Star.

Bleaching I/ittlo Heads.

One of the curious features of the present crane Among women to have their yoimg male offspring resemble id outward appaarttnee the good Little Lord Fauntleroy is their determination to make the poor child have blonde hair. It is true that nearly 50 per cent, of the little ones have this attractive personal characteristic, but the proportion of them who wear long hair is very small. A fashionable hair dresser informed a New York Times reporter that he had recently received quite an impetus to his business by fashionable women who bring their children to him to have their hair bleached. "These ladies are very particular, too," said he "they stand over the chair at each dressing and see that we make no mistake in the shade. We have prepared, in consequence, a card on which are samples of the various tints we can obtain in the bleaching process. It costs from $85 to $40 to have the hair colored to the desired shade. The process is very simple. Two ounces of peroxide of hydrogen applied with a stiff brush will turn very dark hair into the most beautiful Titian red, and repeated applications make the color so that one may graduate the shade very accurately.

Leads a Dual Lile.j

Miss Jeanette Gilder, the editor of The Critic, leads, as it were, a dual life. At home and in society she is entirely feminine, and just what any other clever, sweet tempered woman would be. She is passionately fond of children, and is devoted to the pretty infants of her brother. But in her office her whole manner changes. She is a thorough woman of business, and during office hours works very hard. She suits her attire to her work, and as the feminine dress cramps the neck, throat and arms, she has adopted a costume almost entirely masculine. On the street in winter she wears a long, dark ulster, with a white handkerchief folded under the edges. In her office she wears dark skirts, kilted plainly to the waist, with nooverdress die waist is a half fitted sack coat, with the cut at the throat the same as that of a man, and with the same pockets. Under it is a close fitting waistcoat, in which are watch and chain a plain standing collar and cravat are entirely masculine in ton* She even wears wide cuffs with heavy link buttons and a seal ring. Her brother, Richard Watson Qilder, is the editor of The Octury. —Chicago Herald.

Scotch and French plaids In dark colors, made with plaited waists and skirts, form desirable school dresses for girls of 12 to 14 years of age. These dresses are usually finished with velvet plastron, collar, etc. For more dressy occasions young girls' gowns are made of j»shmere, light weight cloth or other wool fabric, and trimmed with braiding, passementerie, embroidery or velvet ribbon. A favorite mode is an Empire waist and gathered skirt. ,,

DBBSSXS FOB LITTLE GIRLS.

White dresses may be laid aside for wool ones, on the approach of cold weather, for little girls of 3 years of age and more. These dresses are made with high, round waists and straight, gathered skirts a sash of same material, or of silk, is tied at the back. In the cut aro illustrated two dresses, suited to girls of 6 and 7 years of age.

One of these dresses is made with a low bodice and skirt in tartan cheviot, and ornamented with braces and streamers in velvet ribbon of the dark shade of the pattern (Hmlkr velvet encircles the full sleeves, which, like the pleated front in plain material, matches one of the light tints of the

Gentlemen's Clothing.

Double breasted sack coats will be fashionable for gentlemen's business suits this winter. These are made of black broad-ribbed diagonals or black Thibet or Cheviot, with a vest of the same, and colored trousers, either in checks or stripes. Business suits made all of one material are mostly of checked or striped Cheviots or tweeds, with either the new double breasted sack coat, the simpler single breasted sack or else the cutaway walking coat. Plain slate gray worsteds are also used for entire suits. Rough goods and the plain goods, such as dark blue or black Cheviots, are especially liked for the new double breasted sacks to be worn with slate gray or dark blue striped trousers that ore cut straight and are of fair width. The extremely wide trousers of last year have given place to {hose of medium width for all kinds of suits.

Frock coat suits are considered the correct d&y dress suits, and are usually worn by the groom, best man and ushers at afternoon weddings. The vest matches the coat, and striped trousers are now worn of quite light lavender or bluish gray shades.

Full dress suits, worn only in the evening, are little changed in style. They are made throughout of fine diagonals and Thibets, and they may have an additional vest of white worsted or Marseilles. A slight vine of embroidery borders the white and the black vests. The swallow tail dress coat remains of the usual length, and is rolled low, with silk facing the vest is also cut very low and discloses three studs in the shirt bosom.

Single breasted sack overcoats, with fly fronts, will be worn this winter of medium length and faced with silk. Occasionally double sacks are preferred, and are made quite loose in front and back, hanging straight from the shoulders like the box coats used for driving. Cape coats for evening overcoats are made of heavy Cheviots in broad double diagonal with plaid lining, according to Harper's Bazar, authority for the foregoing.

Silk Petticoats.

The fas^ton which prevailed to a considerable extent last winter of wearing silk petticoats under walking dresses in place of white muslin skirts, is a very sensible and convenient one, and fgpinds favor again this season. These petticoats are made in a variety of iglistyles. Some are especially designed for warmth a thin .'flayer of cotton wadding being placed between the outside and the lining. This wadding is held in place by quilting.

In the ctit is shown a somewhat

The plaited border around the bottom is edged with lace flouncing. The pointed belt is of silk, and the ribbon bows and ties match the silk is color. These petticoats are usually made in cardinal, chary, pink or one of the shades of blue cowed sift.

Fashion Notes.

Black costumes are again considered stylish and fashionable. Astrakhan is a favorite trimming for tailor made coats and jackets.

Brocade is in favor for trains to dinner aod reception gowns. Shoulder capes of cloth and of for are largely worn.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

How Ladies Have Made Stained Glass Windows and Japanese Bead Curtains. How to cut off the unsightly outlook from a window without shutting out the supply of light at the same time rather a puzzling matter. As the best remedy that admits of still utilizing the window to a certain extent, Decorator and Furnisher advises replacing the clear glass with ground or stained glass, and says: Many ladies are now experimenting in making stained glass windows and frequently with much success, the result being somewhat after the order of crazy patchwork.

For a window of stained glass, you can buy for a trifle any quantity of pieces from manufacturers of stained glass. Then having your plate glass window, sash and all, removed from the casing, lay your window inside upward on a table, and with cement of shellac (which is taransparent) attach the pieces of stained glass to the clear glass, filling in tbe seams with putty. Should you wish a design of somewhat more artistic arrangement, you can dot your window with the faceted jewels and bull's eyes which are made for the purpose and calling in the assistance of a glazier with his diamond, you can have your pieces of glass cut in better shapes, with much improved effect for the work. By taking notice of stained glass windows you will observe that they are gener ally in some wise bordered, and thus you can gain an idea as to the composition of the desigu for your window. Paint the putty used in joining the pieces black or you can make the work richer by painting the putty with gold.

Another remedy, and one more simple of accomplishment, would be to draw closely over the window a curtain of white spotted cottage drapery muslin, attaching the curtain by small rods run in a casing of the muslin to both the upper and lower sashes, and then hang over a curtain of Japanese reed and colored glass beads. In the bizarre orderings now affected in house furnishings, it is not unusual to see a difference in the treatment of windows in the same room, if the purpose be obvious, nnd it does not seem incongruous.

As the better quality of cane curtains are expensive, the authority already quoted sug gests that the cane and beads can be bought and strung on strong flax thread, and with some degree of taste exercised in arrangement it would be no difficult task to make a curtain—hanging it on a rod furnished with small metal eyes. With the white muslin curtain for a background, the bead curtain would be very effective, there would be a mellow light and one would scarcely be annoyed by unwelcome views from neighbor's ^reroises

A Handsome Sachet.

Gold guipure net is used for the outer covering and copper colored satin, quilted and perfumed, for the lining of the elegant sachet shown in the cut.

IAN EMBROIDERED SACHET.

The embroidery on the front side of the sachet is worked on bronze plush, the larger flowers with white silk iu satin stitch shaded off with copper colored silk, tfaa canter, star with gold thread. The leaves are carried out in olive chenille and the smaller blossoms formed of gold chenille, the embroidered stripe being edged with gimp and two bronze ribbon bows placed at the corners.

l',i 15/ Little Batter Puddings. When company arrives unexpectedly to dinner, little batter puddings will be a convenient dessert It can be made at the last minute and baked while the dinner is being eaten.

Three eggs, one pint of milk, twelve tablespoonfuls of sifted flonr, a little salt. Bake in small eartheD cups. Pudding sauce: One cupful of sugar, ono-hnlf cupful of butter, beaten to a cream, add the yolk of one egg well beaten, then one-half pint, of boiling water, and set it on the fire about ten minutes, add two tablespoonfuls of wine, or flavor with lemon peel, beat the white of the egg to a froth and pour over the top after haviug poured the sauce in the sauce dish. This recipe makes twelve little puddings. Bake in a hot oven, but not so hot as to burn them ou top before baking the bottom, They will fall if taken out too soon.

S? v\: Rich Quince Preserves. Pare, core and quarter your fruit, using a pound of white sugar to every pound of fruit. Take the peelings and cores and put them into a kettle cover them with water and boil for half an hour then strain through a fine sieve or jelly bag and put tho juice back into the kettle and boil the quinces in it, a few at a time, until they are tender. Lift out, as they are done, with a drainer and lay on a dlnh When all are cooked, put in the sugar and allow it to boil about tta minutes before putting in the quinces. Lot them boil slowly till tbey change color. While boiling slip a silver spoon under them occasionally to see that tbey do not burn, but do not stir them. This makes a rich and handsome preserve, 1 $

Canned Squash.

A housekeeper says: I have canned squash very nicely after the following recipe, mid we find it very good and fresh when kept the same as canned fruit. Boil the squash and m-sin through a colander. If very dry add a little water. Fill glass Jars with it, screw covers lightly on aad set into a boiler of cold water with straw or a perforated board in tbe bottom of tbe boiler. Bring tbe water to boiling and cook an boor or more in alL Then take oat the cans, and if tbe contents hare shrunk fill np with hot water and seal at once.

Tnilps for Winter Forcing,

Of early the single Due Von Tbol tulips are tbe earliest, and are therefore most valuable for forcing in pots or vases for indoor decoration. With proper treatment these can be had in bloom by Christmas or earlier. They are of different colors—Suit iiant scarlet, va-milion, crimson, pars white, purple, oraaga, violet, etc. Planted in pots or vases they prove very beautiful at a season when blooming plants are generally scarce. Bbigis early tulips can also be grown in water, BIDSa hyacinth.
