?9- IN GHARM A THE THE" WOMAN : ; v It li a pretty well established ! fact that ' ths treated charm Ilea in the yea. ' Certainly the eyes tare of the greatest aaelatanoe In promoting charm and in us creation. , ' ; r - Onei a woman who sought to ooaiess that quality which la called charm for lack Of a better title searched through all the annals of beauty to discover Hi ecret. At last ahe found It Land It lay. riot in the teeth, the complexion, the hapepf the noser or the width of the poreneaa, gut. 'in me eyee. .'f: ; ' The eyea are the windows of the eoul Searching the annals of -your own ac Qualntanoe, you will find that those who are charming- Invariably have pretty yes. pleasant eyea. ares that can sneak. The charm of the eyea Ilea not, tnA tJrely. In their site, although large eye are pretties man small ayes as a rule. There are small eyes that are extremely reuy oecausa ez m certain brightness. ut where large eyes are bright. 'ey are. positively , danllng. and If they are well managed they go a very long way- toward creating the nfystla quality called charm. . But of course, there must be some thing back of the eyes, and hete some the different attributes of charm. There must be a good mlndknd a gentle dls position. These things go without argu ment, and there must be the ability to Control all of these things well. The' girl who would be charming can tot have a muddy complexion. Bhe can not have unoertaln teeth. .Her hair can not be streaked with, all colors except the right shade. Her nose cannot be wide and , coarse looking. If ahe Is afflicted with Any of thesfc blemishes he must free, herself from them, for with them she Cannot be charming. It is easy ta have nice teeth, easy to j groom the hair easy to olear the com-1 plexion and eay. to make the nose deli cate In texture. : And When she has at tended to these 'things, the summer girl can go to work upon her eyes, for in this way she will make herself charming. " To begin with, she must, not have fatty eyelids. :, And to do away ' with these she must get rid of the cushions of flesh around the eyes. "f . , . These appear as soon as one has too much adipose 'tissue,: and the summer girl must reduce until she is of the right weight. .' If she be a - matron getting alonr toward the fat, fair and .forty stage, she must take hold Of the situation- with vigor, for, once thv fat ac. cumulated around theyes, It 1 exoeed ingly 'difficult to get off. ? Then she must attend to the lashes for the eyelids muat not be red nor the lashes thin. There are eyelids that are positively unpleasant to look upon be cause of their red, Inflamed .state. The lashes on these eyea are Bounty and the eyes louK us mougn iney nau ooen cry ing," - ' ,' , .'' :! : To remedy defective lashes, try bath ing the eyes In warm waterbut never In cold water. Try treating the lids to dally baths in boraclo acid, , made by dissolving borax powder In warm water. Tell the druggist I10W you are ging to use the powder and let. him give you the best borax for the purpose. Try letting the eyes' alone, for noth ing Irlrtates them like working .at them or upon them. Try keeping the Angers off them and do not even rub them. as soon as tne laenes-gei tnm, par-; tides of dust settle In the eyes, for the laahes are placed around the eyes to stand as sentinels there, and. 1f thick and long, they protect the eyeball, keep ing floating particles and dust from entering. If the lashes are scarce, the yes are left unprotected and are' ex posed to the duet, of the universe. MODISH ADORNINGS OF THE DAY GOWN The day gowns at least the cloth or otherwise-built day gown of the -moment, goes in for laces of a distinct order, lace of a bold decorative character, what some critics have described as furniture laces. It seems duaint, but these modish adocnlngs are really the laces we hava hith erto only, used for window blinds and window curtains, cushion covers, chair backs, etc., these linen thread lacea that look so elegant and so new on frocks this last winter and springtime.' The siuare-mesh fllet lace has been long familiar to us In window curtains, etc. It la, of course, handsome, being first netted and then darned over with a pattern,, which -patterns, of course, are. now much more elaborate and Intricate than when the lace was only uaed for houae decoration. . The Yak lace familiar in blinds is also hand made, a pillow lace, and looka very well in cloth. It la the moat popular Idea of the moment for cream and pale cloth coata, and thoae applied with thla lace and finished with a collar, and perhaps facings of some very vivid vel vet, sapphire-blue, cerise, etc.,1 look charming. This Yak lace Is akin to and made In the same way as the Russian lsces, and Just lately they have been uaed by some of the Parisian model-makers, worked in col- 'fW wwrt, and wtttr contrawrltig Hb reatr added, -fast "like - Ms-Rawsias : laces. i 1 There was displayed last week a frock of a pretty crapey voile stuff, a cerise red, with trimmings of this lace In exactly the same tone, with a blue thread woven into the edge. The wool lace and the crapey vdlle sort of stuff looked ao well together, and thla ualrig of wool lace with voile is an Immenaer success: Another waa in a biscuit-toned crapey kind of voile, and the lace, which took the form of medallions and narrowlsh Insertions, exactly toned with the atuff. "".,'" Of course, stuff and lace precisely corresponding form a noticeable feature In many new things frocks and coats, and even hats, and then, with garments which are all lace, or almost all lace, there Is a great con trasting In the lacea, and contrasts of the kinds of lace as well as of the tones; for example, a blouse, slip, of Alecon lace (net) will have motifs, or medallions and Insertions of guipure. Quite the feature of the hew blouse slip Is this applying motifs of bold, guipure on to, say. a yoke, and the lower parts of sleeves formed of a finer laco. Valenciennes lace takes, these motifs or medallions of bold guipure admirably, and all the prettle'et of tne batiste or lawn and China silk tucked slips have thla variety in their lace tops. Borne of these slips are In a pale blue, and pink and green, and yellow linen batistes, and these are so dainty, and one Imagines a slip of this sort very useful arranged to fit in with a coat and a .skirt of pale cloth. With the little coat taken off, the batiste , slip will be so cool and pleasant and can be, of courae, so decorative with laces;' the laces to be veined together with a silk thread corresponding to the color of the costume. MS Thick lashes' are pretty and long lashes are charming. If one can secure them by keeping the eyea healthy, then one has added greatly to one'a beauty. The practice of clipping the laches Is not a good ne,-for In many, canes they never grow again. Few eyelashes-ahow any growth from yea( to year, and It will, be found that they only renew themselves sufficiently to maintain' an even length. The practice of darkening the lashea and the brows la not a bad one, judged from modern conventional standards. There was a time when, fftccn powder was not considered good form, and when rouge was thought horribly wrong. In those days the eyebrow pencil was con sidered vulgar, and the beauty bath Intolerable among well-orderd people. But. nowadays every woman taken a beauty bath and - every woman works upon her complexion. She considers a good face powder as necessatyks naTr f pins, and the tiny bit of rougev which she puts on at night is an essential of good looks If she be pallid. The eyebrow pencil. If used.- should .be.U.ed..wlUl.fAUi;ftf.arltjnjist.mtbe in, evidence in any way. The trouble Is that It la uaed too aealowaly, and with more Industry than discretion. In using the eyebrow pencil pr the pencil for the lashes, remember that a little Is better than"-a great deal, and that a tiny touch Is much better than a heavy one. Also remember that each little mark represents 100 hairs, and that it in easy to make too much eye brow. , In pencil InR the eyebrows and darken ing the lHHhes, remember another thing, which la that the eyes may very easily receive a slnster look, dark and threat- nlnr, if too much black be put around them. They look glowering and lower ing and they seem to frown where they should seem to Smile. A tiny touch mny be pretty, but be careful of mpre than the ullshtest Indication. r TO keep the eyes pretty demands that they be kept strong, and to keep the eyes strong Is something very difficult. There are ways of weakening the ryes. One of these Is to read by u dim light so as to strain them. It s not a irood thing to give thorn too much work to do if you want to be pretty. The prettiest eyes arc those that close before 12 o'clock, nnd theso eyes are the ones that hold their beauty long est. Tho prettiest eyes are thoo tlint do not weep or water, and these eyes are eyes that never look too nt'irdlly upon a bright light. Pretty eyes should never used In reading While one Is seated In a rocking chair. Indeed, the owner of pretty eyes should avoid rocking chairs ns much as possible, for, as un rocAs the foeuS of the eyes changes contliiwiiiy, and aa the focus changes the eyes are weak ened. The changing of the focus of the eyes Is managed automatlCHlly by the mechanism of the eye, and one Is un conscious of It until the smarting of the eye compels one to rub them and the harm Is done. Another hindrance to pretty eyes in found In the Hue In Ihe forehead which comes when one has looked at n strong light or la sleeping In n strong light. On waking there will be found two deep wrinkles botwwn the eyea, and these lines mark the approach of age and the diminution of one's charm. ft in best for tho eyes to aleen on one's back or on one's side any way except with the eyes burled In the pillows. As soon as the face Is wrinkled down Into the pillowcase then there' will come creases In tho forehead and on awaken ing there are deep furrows n the brows. Kven the face of a baby Is creased in tha morning, but In the baby'a face the creases smooth themselves wit snd tne skin is left soft snd fatr. ".Hut with a " grown-up person, It is different, for the ktn has not tha- sanw Amount' of moisture or the oamo amount of reiUl enne. and the furrows jtcxrae fttrmknant I disfigurements, detracting from. th much-sougM-for quality, charm. ,t Near-sllitt(l eyes must"b treated by an oculist, and Just how Important It 1 to beauty to have them attended to no. one excent tha woman who hna nxnerU' mentcd wlth,thetn ever will know, f , If one la near-sighted one will squint! ' that Is certuln. And If one Is near nighted one will fvown; that ,1a oertaltt' mIho. The g'rl who s'lulnts and frown ' win nuve .rurrows in ner nrows, , ana then o , iA -I,..-,-. ii cr,,,,1 1,,tl,a f a, V, will have that Hour expression Which never can be called charming. , The eyes of woman who Is slender i are generally , much prettier than th eyes of n fat woman. A fat woman has eyea burled In cushions of flesh, nnd i whatever eparkle thre may have ibeetl once la lost by the surroundings. The . slender woman with the delicate ltd nnd the allaht. vlolet-hued .Shadow?, under the eyes, is the pretty woman. . There- are fat faces that are charm ing. They are sweet In expression; and the eyps show a good nature" Which is delightful. But if 1 hat same face rare to be reduced by tha loss of a pound or , so. It would lxi very much more at tractive. So let the woman who wants to be charming take care of her eyes, not forgetting- that they are the principals In the make-up of her face. But let her not forgot her complexion, her teeth, .or the smoothness of her forehead, for they come under the heading of essentials. PERFECT SYSTEM OF ARRANGING FLOWERS Tha Japanese long ago developed a complete" system of flower ar rangement. Today no young lady of good birth considers her education complete until she )mi learned that art well. It considers every flower in its entirety, each twig and bud and accent of stem and leaf. We cannot as yet come anywhere near their- perfection, but we have learned already much from their subtle taste of flower arrangements, as we And It In their embroideries; their carvings and on their china. Tha mound of flowers carefully wired and encased In lace paper that our grandmothers called a nosegay would fall to please the least sensitive of us now. . The short-stem flowers are the least easy to deal with in arranging.1 They look best In clustered masses generally, in china rather than in glass. The deep blue and white plates or very shallow bowls of Japanese ' ware to be bought for considerably less than $1 form a charming re ceptacle for sweet elyssum. prinked out here and there with the gay, almost stemless, blossoms of the balsam or touch-me-not.

PARISIAN GOWNS OF LINEN AND Linen Is a material that has only recently that Js, within the last year or' two become popular .for summer wear, but Its popularity Is now well established, .and advisedly bo, as there Is no fabric cooler or pleasanter to wear or one that will stand such constant laundering. It is . remarkable In this climate, where so often the heat verges on the tropical, that, the virtue of linen as a summer fabric, has not sooner become known. .But with the Exception of the linen dusters that were worn bys both men and women ana tne natural colored linen gowns with a lot of glase to them that were In fashion a good many years ago, It has never met with success. . . Tha old-fashioned linens were very heavy; with tb -'-exception t of the kind already referred to. Heavy1 crash was especially in demand ror a little while, but soon proved, valueless on acoount of Its weight, which made It appear as though it were as warm as a wool gown. The- many different weaves In fashion now are ahnost-wtthout exception light In weight. Home are more closely woven than others, , some have more of a pol ished surface (these are not the most fashionable), others hava a little- figure or design through them and look al most like pique. The majority are In white, but there are also colored linens that are very smart In plain effects or in white with colored lines, polka dots or some small 1 embroidered pattern woven in the material. There are two or three distinct styles In these linen gowns one that Is trim med with lace, another that has heavy embroidery on the linen Itself and an other Jhat has so much lace and em broidery that very little" of the linen itself Is seen. The heavier laces are much more in keeping with the linen than are the lighter ones, but as the heavier were fashionable last year, this season,. In the rage for something dif ferent, Uhe lighter patterns are coming into favor. A linen gown can be one of the most, expensive in the entire wardrobe,-provided the more costly lace Is used, and made, as are many of them, with a long skirt trimmed with broad bands of lace around the foot and with stripes of lace let In on either side of the front breadth, with a lace yoke or with three straps of , lace on the waist, and with a half sleeve of lace, it can be understood, even by an ama teur of clothes, that the price asked Is not out of proportion to the cost. There are some amart llnn costumes this year that are severely plain, made with the white, tha tan, the gray 'or the colored linens with short skirt, plaited or gored and with a long three-quarter coal These are to be worn with the finest of linen" lawn waists, made with entre deux of lace. Another vtyle In sharp contrast is a short Jacket of linen flnlshed with a wide ruffle of lace, but with the skirt quite plain,, so that it can be laundered as often as desired, while the jacket or coat would Jiave to be sent to tho cleaners. Th pattern robes that are to be had this year are -most -beautiful - 1n the Upens, in white, in pale blue or pinl in tan and In yellow. These have lace Woven with the machine or put Hfc ry machine so .cleverly as to appear all in one, or have dlsk.s or medallions of lace, from underneath which the liien Is cut away or are embroidered with heavy linen thread in scroll or outline de signs, all of which are most, effective. On some of t) newer pattern revhea a thread of black is introduced, with a white ainbrpldery or a black and white line cord, but somehow theso lack In the daintiness and smartness of thoso all one color. The pale blue linens with the white lace, of course, have the con trast between the white and blue. It Is a pale shade of blue, and the white Is not too glaring In effect against it, while the pink Is relieved by the con trast of white. Jn the all one color linen robes are to be seen laces of the same Khade, nnd irt the grass linens especially are medallions of thejacoj or outline embroidery and all In the one tone, very dainty and cool in ap pearance and essentially artistic In the harmony of coloring. Under the head of linen gowns come the llnan batistes tht are so sheer and fine that they seem, hardly heavier, if as heavy, as the fine lace or embroidery with which they are trimmed. Al though the embroidery on the linen ba tistes exhibits some of the very finest work that has ever been seert, or at least seen for' very many years, and Is Sssoctated in one's mind with the em roldery on the finest lingerie or pocket handkerchiefs, this la an age of luxury that is eVldenced in nothing more than dress, and consequently there Is a craze for this tine and beautiful handiwork. Dark blue linen gowns have not been so fashionable tha last two or three years, principally because the heavier qualltes of denims were so much used for tho cheapest kind of ready-made golflry? skirts. But the dark blue linens of today are bound to win their way lrlto favor again, for the texture is so exquisitely tine and the color is so good. The more severe the design of these dark blue linens the better, and the real tailor finish is exceedingly smart with them, The short skirt, plaited or with many gores, and tha three-quarter coat again are smart, but tier are also extremely good gowns made with the short skirt and th blouse waist. On the waist the heavy embroidery In llneri or cotton thread either of blue, black and white, or white, Is effective. This Is a very simple de sign, but a very amart one. Another good one is in the red linen, not the oxblood red that was fashionable last year, but .the shade of this season which looks" bo well trimmed with either black or white. Black and white com bined makes a good trimming for a red frock and is used In revers end collar, as well as In the band on the skirt, .but often the end and aim of everything la to have tho one color scheme, and then a curious effect is given try the -dyed lace to matoh t . gown and used In bands or in ytfi., undersleeves and dollar. , . Cl'i Odd colors of linens are among; tha fabrics, queer greens and dull blues, not always becoming, but without except ' tlon effective. They can be made becom- f lng If plenty of white Is used In th " i. trimming of the waist, or, oddly enough, If there is a touch of . black about ' them. A black taffeta belt or tie with any of these odd colors in linen add' marvelously to the smart appearance -of the gown. There, la nothing cooler ' In summer than green, either in th darker shades or the pale ones Irish . lace and expensive embroidery are used with these queer colored linens and also embroidery of white . and the light shades in the heavy stuffed hand em- .' broidery or there are inserted medal lions of varied shapes. Anything to give a distinctive appearance and at the same time to make the gown look summery seems to be the aim of the dressmaker of today. i SUMMER HOME IDEAS As a rule, -people try to put too much into a summer home. The better way Is to plan carefully, but to seek to produce an effect of space rather than overccowdlng, ..' ' " Stained or painted walls are the best, and if of White plaster do them In bur lap, In denim, or In matting, different rooms Ut' different ways. It can be tacked over the walls, hanging as elosely and as neatly as wall paper, but giving that rich look that one finds only in studios In town, for the artists all use. burlap for their walls. - m HW the. floor, afass matting Is excel lent for sitting room and dining room, or. If tha floors be of hardwood, there re the rugs of grass matting or the jute rugs from Japan that come m sucn gay colorings. Matting, However, is cleaner, than rugs, and unless there are plenty of servants it Is a more esoonom leal floor covering. . . ' '' .'' - For windows, dotted Swiss and ruffled curtains are prettiest, neatly hung and tied back so that the summer winds will not play havoc with them. . - There should be Just a few pictures in the summer cottages", and these should be different from tho pictures In the town homes. Rattan furniture la always cool, com fortable and es,syv to move. The" ttn weathered oak Is -good - for - a dining room and halt, and there . should . be .plenty of commodious plasza chairs and rattan settees or couches. - . - For table furnishing in tha summer home nothing is prettier, or mora suit able than- the blue end white Japanese china that is. so plentiful Just now, but t 'which many people do not car to use, , because of Its inexpensiveness. Yet this is just what recommends, It to the summer cottager. 1 . , -. - "DONT'S" FOR WOMEN Don't manicure your hands too often, Too, much manicuring is worse than not enough. - -Don't .polish nails too highly; they Should have only a natural gloss. Too much polishing makes them tender. Don't polish nails without first rub bing on a little rose-tinted paste.' Use the palm of the hand to polish. Don't cut nails without first holding them in warm water or sweet oil. .Don't cut them too often, or they will become thick and ugly. ' Don't cut the cuticle or any part of the flesh around- the nails. -Don't cut'the nails In points, but let them be carefully arched. Don't use a file or emery paper on the flat surface of the nail.. but only on the edge, to level It. Don't dry the hands with a towel, but with a silk handkerchief, which - ab sorbs moisture more readily. Don t neglect to press back the edge around tha naU after washing te hands. so that tne crescent, or salt moon, will show. Don't use ammonia In the bath with out applying a cold cream afterward. Don't use lemon Juice too often on the hands. Try white vinegar Instead. Lemon Juice shrivels and yellows the surface. - -. Don't wear gloves ;Very night, or the hands will become .yellow. . Occasional use of gloves, however, Js advisable. Don t 1 forget that warm feet have much to do with white hands. When the. feet are habitually cold, the hands are always red or fclue ...fc. : HAKKXXD nr'XMrTS.!

FASHIONS FOR AUTOMOBILE GIRLS ............ ; If the belle of 2 years ago, but for a spin on the road In a smart trap be hind a pair of spanking grays, could have taken a peep into the future and caught a glimpse of her daughter-to-be, the belle of the present day, enjoying a similar outing she would have been both bewildered and astounded. Bewildered, truly, by the ojueer-look-ing horseless machine racing along In defiance of all laws then known. But astounded far more by the details of the remarkable costume in which her charming descendant had been pleased to array herself. Thero is no denying the fact that the automobile girl la audacious. She claims she dresses appropriately. Perhaps she does.. But there is no gainsaying the fact that she dresses conspicuously. Paris has Just evolved for the auto girl an entirely new sort of costume. It is declared to be practical and com fortable and just the thing to wear'for a ride on a windy day. It is surely novel, to say nothing of being startling. The new garment is an automobile habit a long, close-fitting wrap, which reaches from the neck to tho hoels. The lower portion is made like a divided skirt, and when extra warmth is needed can be buttoned about the- legs to form trousers. This curiohs wrap Is made tip in cloth, suede and quilted silk, flannel lined. For nutomohile tours it is pronounced an Invaluable garment. It.lH worn like a 'riding habit over corset, bloomers or knickerbockers. The- new hoods, caps and maakS.de.-. signed exclusively for the automobile girl cannot be truthfully termed beauti flers, but they serve their purpose well. Thisy successfully protect the heud, hair and eyes from tho cold wind and dust. The latest motor caps are made of waterproof silk, with an adjustable hood which entirely covers the back of thk hpnd. .There are fllteo Kllk hondfl Cpnrtilned with a nittwk which are among' tnc-iioveltles. inc.liood is or silk, very light In weight, and worn over a cap or clope-fltting rrat; the maslrls of i Isinglass; nnd is fastened to the hood and forms part of a veil which covers I the face. I Tho automobile girl may wear her i goggles In Various ways. They may be fastened to tle inside of her Chiffon veil, they may bo combiner! wltll a face mask 'of suede or llk or they may be merely big, black ugly goggles Just by themselves. Hut however they are worn they make It hard to recognize even tho girl of your heart. The. young wo man who Is fond of swift riding gen erally . wears- an' automobile mask con sisting of goggles,, silk face shield and nosti protactor. With .this correctly adjusted she can Jaugh and be merry though the wind blows a gale and the auto breaks Its record. - Automobile chats, especially the new models for spring wear, are by no means unattractive-looking garments. Many of them are of soft French kid. trimmed with stitched bands and big ornamental buttons. Others are of light-weight melton cloth, with trimmings of stitched taffeta. They are loose-fitting and gen erally three-quarter length. For sum mer long auto coats will be worn' of mo hair and pongee elaborately strapped in silk in a contrasting color. The auto mobile glove, with tho high leather gauntlet, is still the glove most, worn.
