Show HAITIN HOLDERS, In these days ot many hatpins the hatpin holder lias become a necessary adjunct to tho well-appointed bureau. They arc mode now as one of tho toilet set, comprising brush, comb, mirror, powder box, tray, etc., or may bo hod separately In very pretty designs. An Ingenious substitute for the sliver holder, and one In reach of every girl, is a tall glass bottle with a mouth wide enough to hold Severn 1 plus comfortably. comforta-bly. Nearly everybody has a pretty bottle or two put nwny, and ono of these, with n bow on the neck or a little picture pasted on the side, will hold the hatpins all right until Christ-inns, Christ-inns, when ono of the new silver holders hold-ers will probably appear. A WOMAN, TOO. A young woman who was spending the evening with the family of Lord Coleridge, the eminent English Jurist, was about to start for her home nt 10 o'clock when he offered to accompany her. She, with the respect due to his ngo, and with the fearlessness of youth, due to Ignorance of the dangers surrounding sur-rounding young women, said: "I thank you, but I do not wont to trouble you. Cannot the maid accompany me?" His answer showed the respect in which ho held nil women. He sold: "My dear, tho maid Is n woman also." If all men were as truly courteous there would bo no complaint on the part of women that they do not receive tho treatment they should receive from the opposite sex. New York Tribune. OBSERVE HOME ANNIVERSARIES The happiest households are that that do not let die out tho sentiment connected con-nected with various anniversaries. Although Al-though gift-giving or recognition of such events In a sultablo way may be out of the question owing to the straitened strait-ened clrcumstancesof those"wlthln the gates," there con yet bo a little air of festivity when mother's or father's birthday comes round, or some wedding wed-ding nnnlversoy Is to be celebrated. An extra dish, a ltttlo bunch of flowers, or some special music prepared for the occasion, will show the kindly spirit and the loving remembrance that count for more than the money value of any gift. As tho children grow up, It these festivals aro encouraged, they will have much to look forward to and much more to remember in the years to como when they go out to do battle with tlic world and find that sentiment is crushed under foot nnd affection is regarded only as a side Issue. CHILDREN'S PARTY SUPPERS. The most charming thing about any meal Is a surprise connected with it, and in this supper thero are soveral, of a simple character, easily prepared and Intended for the smallest children: Clam broth In cups with whipped cream. Animal crackers. Creamed chickou; rolled sandwiches. Small cups of cocoa. Paper roses with plain Ice cream concealed con-cealed In them; little cakci. Put tho chicken into small square boxes and covers and gluo a tiny downy chicken on tho cover of each. Sorre tho sandwiches tied with ribbons, rib-bons, nnd tho cocoa in Uttlo after-dinner coffoo-cups with Uttlo spoons. Get some large paper rosns aud remove tho centres, fitting a Uttlo paper cup In each, and laying tho flat centra on again when it is served; pass the plates with the Uttlo lighted cakes with this. Uarper'a Bazar. SAVE TISSUE PAPER. Tho tissuo paper In which parcels oro wrapped should nevor bo thrown away, but smoothed out and laid away In a drawer for future use. A small pad of tissuo paper sprinkled with methylated spirit will give a brilliant bril-liant polish to mirrors, picture glasses nnd crystal. Tho pad, used without the spirit, is excellent for burnishing steel, rubbing grease spots off furniture, furni-ture, polishing silver, etc. For packing glass, china and ornaments orna-ments a roll of tissuo paper is Invaluable, Invalua-ble, says Homo Notes. When pocking hats a wisp of tissue paper should bo twisted around all upstanding up-standing ends ot ribbon, ospreys nnd wings to prevent crushing. Dress nnd blouso sleeves should be stuffed with soft paper, nnd a sheet of it placed between be-tween tho folds. Silk handkerchiefs, ribbons and laco should all bo ironed between a layer of tissuo paper, aud the latter is n line polisher for steel buckles and hatpins. DRESS FOR THEMSELVES. Women do not dress to attract tho admiration ad-miration of men; vanity, I am afraid, is the author of this suggestion, writes a correspondent of tho London Dally News. Neither is it to exclto the envy of women. Why do men everywhere fall so easily iuto this mean estimate of our sex? God has planted, I bollevc, a truo instinct in-stinct into all truo women's natures perhaps partly on account, it may be, of their very subtle aud uulvorsal influence in-fluence as mother, wife, sister, friend not only to be attractive, but to appear ap-pear so, Wo could count numberless instances to support this theory. Tho world is dark and cold enough, our eyes refuse to be satisfied with garments of black and brown, or oven choeolnto or coffeo colored; theso aro quite as, and more, expeuslvo than the sweet, fresh toilets made lovely by rainbow-tinted flowers and ribbons that rejoice the cyo of the truo artist. Surely It was not as a coquctto to in- spire the admiration of men that th woman wiioso price was above all rubles whose husband trusted In her; and In whoio tongue was the law of kindness, clothed herself in coverings! of tapestry, silk and purple. I thlnki j rather her raiment matched the Innntd dignity nud beauty of her character And when I see the pretty garments! around mo I like to feel that they are! most often the outcome of sunny, worn' only natures, whose desire Is to plensd and to bo pleased. Manchester Union. A WOMAN PATENT ATTORNEY. Tho experience of Miss Florence King, of Chicago, patent attorney, shows that the "self-made woman' lias arrived along with the "self-nmdd mnn," of whom America has long been proud.

STYLES IN NECKWEAR. Scnrfs of laco ond printed chiffon for evening wear are so closely allied to neckwear that they must be mentioned men-tioned with it and the newest como In frilled and pleated effects that are extremely ex-tremely pretty. Crepe de Chlno is employed em-ployed for tho making of some dainty stocks nnd ties, both in white nnd colors, col-ors, and .medallions and frills of laco lend n touch of ornamentation. In pastel colorings these collars are dainty and charming. In tailored neckwear a fancy is observable for long tab jnds, nnd whether of wosli material or of silk this elongated effect is evidenced.! Taffeta embroidered in colors nnd lit' black and whlto designs Is n favored! material for these fancy tailored' stocks, and then there are the handker-1 chief tics In bright tints and Oriental colorings which nre exceedingly smart for autumn or winter wenr witli 0 plain shirt waist, whether of linen or heavier; fabric. The trim Uttlo turnover collar with embroidered edge ond worn with! a narrow silk or satin tie Is as much In style as ever. Thcro is a neat air about this collar that is very fetching. Of course, the linen collar for wear! with strictly tailored waists is novel? entirely out ot fnshlon, and it Is not likely to bo while the vogue for tin! shirt waist continues. In referring td ncckwonr, tho scrim collar and curt sots must be Included, for they nrd very appropriate and becoming with waists of mobnlr, Hcuriettn, flannel and the like, especially In plain colors, tho cross stitch decoration lu bright: bluo, green or less vivid hues giving tho required note of color. Fow woui-on woui-on nre Indifferent to neckwear displays, and this season they aro certain not t be for tho array lu the shops is fascinating fas-cinating to a degree. Brooklyn Eagle. |
