HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

? A Talk on Ilats,
pHEN we were speaking of
the
W business woman's dress, and
. of the mistaken little factory
..v' girl In. her red cotton velvet,
i. .".'-, the. subject of hats was pro-
Meed for discussion. This . means, of
course, hats for the working girl, : not
. for Miss Flora McFUmsey, who. may
have as many bats as she has gowns,
whu limy muii nor own t tancy in
buying whatever appeals to her.
The business1 girl has quite another

uK'Bmuujr i-uiurs wnicn ao not Harmon
Ise with the few gowns that the busi
ness girl must wear most of the time,
cheap materials which fade or grow
dingy looking In a llttle'-whlle. and too
delicate coloring which, quickly be
comes soiled and untidy looking.
The chief things to be desired are
these: a ahape whloh is becoming to the
faoe but which Is inconsplcuoua, colors
which harmonise with her street dress,
and hats. so made that wind and weather
win not have the eftect of putting. the
hat entirely out of commission In a
few weeks.., A ,-,..!v
And another thing which the working
i girl cannot afford to be entirely Ignorant
of la the refurbishing of materials, so
that she may make her hats, look .neat
after they begin to show wear. Any
girl can learn, though ahe may not have
a natural gift for trimming hate, v to
press r ribbons and tie them in neat
bows, to eurl feathers, , to clean and' re
new velvet, to make rosettes and frills
of lace or' net. All of these things are
simple and easy to do, and a little time
' given to keeping materials - in shape
will prolong the life of many a hat.
If the business girl must ' wear her
blue suit through all the cooler days
of the summer, and -depend upon -white
walata and a linen shirt for the hot
days, ahe would be very foolish to bur
an elaborate x hat trimmed . with pink
rosea or red geraniums, and fluffy ruf
fles of laoe or veiling. She ' would be
equally -foolish to trust entirely to the
pretty . appearance of a light Copen
hagen blue straw trimmed with bluettes.
.for both, of these will fade to a dull
gray In a few weeks' sunshine . and
leave her with- a bedraggled looking hat
when she wants to look spick and span.
A dark blue sailor- trimmed with wide
ribbon of a good quality and a quill, or
a natural colored straw with foliage or
net will be suitable and will look aa
well 'by the end of July as In the mid
dle of May.
How many hats may she have? Well,
It depends upon her Income, or, more
properly speaking, her outgo. We may
suppose that ahe can spend $8 for hef
summer and fall millinery, and ft for
her winter hat. Both or thestr bnt
hats should be able to do duty for two
seasons, with retrlmming. For her
summer hat ahe would iJSY well to get
a cheap. rough' strawtrimmed .with rib-
bon tof -everyday wear not -av ready
made, perhaps, but a shape picked up
here, and ribbon bought at the sale at
the ribbon counter, and put on by her
own clever Angers" For her best hat
she then haa about $4, with which she
can have a light , straw, veiling or
square meshed net, now so much worn,
and a few good silk flowers or foliage.
If she looks carefully at the hats In
the . milliners' windows she should be
able to trim this herself. If that Is
too much out of her line, she may be
able to do some little turn for another
girl who can do it for her. And if
neither of these alternatives is found
available ahe must pay a milliner for
dolnr It for her. r This Is not to dis
parage the millinery business at all-
only It is rather a luxury for the work
ing girl, and if she can do things for
nerseii sne may almost dispense wun
u.
. The girl Who can- do her own refur
bishing knows the value of the stand
ard makes of dyes, and does not acorn
shoe blacking or white enamel paint for
. giving her atraw the color and finish
she desires. She is not afraid to put
her last year's straw into the wash
bowl and scrub It with soap and water,
and press It Into shape. She steams
the velvet, after brushing it well; she
washes and irons her ribbons, cleans
veiling in gasoline, washes feathers in
soap and water and recurla them, and
even geta out her water color paints and
. bringa back to the pink rosebuds their
pristine oiusnea. And .the same girl
does not Insist upon having a "Merry
Widow" lust because other people are
buying, them,- nor does she pay JiaroV
earned money for fllmsv cotton flowers
and easily crushed chiffon, or made-up
feathera which come apart after a few
wearlngs. . ... ..
- 'And oy taking care of her hata, put
ting the hat plna through In the same
holes Instead of pricking the crown into
i Innumerable perforations, and by keep
. Ing ribbons well dufeted and pressed,
she always manages to look dainty and
sensioie ana irim.

NEW , YORK, May, J.-There Is a
great variety, of parasols for
. summer use, bat Just' now the
1 handles 'rather than the cover
ings are the1 parts thought of
most The handles are truly wonder
ful, some being finely carved and set
with precious 'of "semi-precious stones.
Ivory and jade are chosen as tha favor
ites from a dosen other styles.: There
is nothing eiaoorate. in the shapes, they
are very Simula with ball tops, slim
pear shapes, long,' slender, crooked and
twisted or chased onea The workman
ship on them is to be admired, which
shows flowers, fruits. .the heads of
birds, beasts and flah carved In " the
finest manner, gome of these works of
art are Iris, with flowers and leaves in
slender ' groups, . and chrysanthemums
are especially lovely. Dogs carved from
natural wood are often painted in nat
ural colors, and blusters of fruit sur
rounded by leaves, are shown in perfect
colorings. ' Copper, one of the novelties
of the season, is beaten and treated with
acids and Is made into the most artistic
forma Jade, the valuable Oriental
stone which haa been so popular in
Jewelry, is now extremely ' fashionable
for parasol handles. Its beauty lies in
its shading and translucency and its
simple, gracerui -shape. Borne are set
with 'the tiniest of diamonds, with arold
tips to finish the frame ribs. Handles
cut irom canmeuan show exquisite shad
ing and can be matched, to silk coverings
of . solid .colors. Jewels or enamel are
the only decoratlona . used, but some
times a touch of contrasting ' metal la
seen." There is a great variety of han
dles for those - who are In mourning.
Black wood with the French poodle
carved on It la popular. - Ounmetal la
found in "many shapes, sometimes
studded with pearls, and plain Jet and
onyx in slender sticks are quite suit
able for young girls. ; -
Season after J season the separate

silk one and the semi-tailored ' one la
smarter than the fancy lingerie waist
of a year ago. The semi-tailored mod
els open , up the front and . are some
times fastened with a row of small
buttons from, belt to collar. . There are
not usually any collars that come with
them, ao a separate embroidered one
and a tie muat be selected. If the
blouse la of a sheer material the frill
down the front and bow at the throat
Is the usual finish. These accessories
are lace-edged and If the waist Is a

hem of the frill, . the collar and ouff

whether it is a style that will stay any
length bf time and. be absolutely-the
only correct model for all gowns. Need
le aa to say, these lines are only be
coming to the slender, graceful' woman,
and then it has a charming effect - But
It will be noticed that failures have
made It a most hideous fashion. The
very latest gowns of the slim order
are being heavily trimmed and many
of the skirts show the tunic effect.
When this effect la given the material is
draped long on the sides and much
shorter in the front and back. The
seams are cut to give as much length
as possible. - The expert dressmaker
can arrange wide, flat embroidery, folda
Or flounces on a skirt without interfer

- One-piece frocks of thin material will
be" much worn during the summer
months and there are many attractive
models cut from the daintiest muslins,
organdies and silk batistes. Such
dresses require a lining of some deli

perfectly. ' Although' the blouse1 and

Chlorosis.
From) Youth's Companion.
THIS is a peculiar form of anemia
which occurs In young women, gen
V erally between the ages of IS and to.
If It la found after the age of 25 it Is a
relapse from a former attack.; It is
characterised by a yellowish green tint
of the skin, and from this It receives
Us name. In any case of anemia where
there Is a doubt of the diagnosis, an
examination of the blood Itself will soon
settle, the question. . . . . ;
The blood of the chlorotic patient
will invariably - be deficient in hemo
globin, which i la - the coloring matter
of tha red corpuscles and the carrier of
oxygen to-the system, - While in other
forms, of anemia the red corpuscles may
be found greatly decreased in quantity,
in chlorosis they will be found In auf
ftcient number, but poor In quality. : .
As it is the hemoglobin In the blood
which enables one to breathe, It followa
as a mattei of course 'that any defi
ciency In It will, affect the breathing
power, and therefore the supply of nec
essary oxygen which cornea to the sys
tem. The chlorotic patient therefore
lives In continual bad air wherever ahe
is, and her whole system suffers ac
cordingly. .The whole muscular system or course
suffers, because muscular force is In di
rect ratio to the amount of oxygen
taken In. The heart muscle will be
weak and Irritable, and there will be a
sense - of breathlesaness and probably
palpitation following any exertion. As
the entire system of muscles is affect
ed, there will naturally be a sense of
fatigue and lassitude, with pain at the
base of the neck and in the small of the
back. j . - .. : .."

"Frank and I threshed It all over thor
oughly. We mads two or three hard-and-fast
resolutions, among them a rule
to put away 6 per cent of our Income
for a "pleasure fund,' which was not
to be used for any purpose but pleasure,
only once In all our 10 years .together,
after-that, did we put that 1 fund to
another use at a pinch, and we made
food the loan 'to the last cent That

of our lives, for It paid amazingly big
dividends from the very first. We
didn't mlas the monthly deductions from
our Income, which kept Increasing
steadily, but . there was alwaya some
thing to draw on for our mental re

silver wedding we didn't touch the fund,
but we lived very well In the mean
while, for we had learned our lesson
thoroughly. On the morning of our sil

month of our existence, paying for
everything with the money accumulated
by the "pleasure fund,' which had in
creased In proportion with our Improved
circumstances. I can't begin to tell

covered, even in the beginning, when it
amounted to only $1 a month. I've told

vania, some of the leaders In Pennsyl
vania are opposed to instruction, and In
Michigan and Washington the Bryan op
position has made sufficient headway
to render the result somewhat uncer
tain, though the supporters of the Ne
braakaa believe they will - get both
states. There - haa been considerable
Johnson talk in Alabama recently, but
this state also is placed In the Brvan
column, -j.-
