Vanities at the Sprintf Openings
/

HATH OF THE DAY.
It is hard tor a mere woman not to
all into temrtation when she goes
o the great "openings" with which
wily shop, merchant anil milliner lure'
'ier in the Jays when everything she
ha? worn during the past season be-
gins to look hopelessly shabby. All
Ihe vanities of the feminine world are
spread out before her; she finds such
•\ lot of things just exactly her style,
just to her taste—alas not to her
purse. But just when she is beginning
to wish she had not come at all, she
lights upon what appeals and yet is
not out of all reason as to price; for
to-day the greatest variety is offered,
and if one but be patient and spend
time one can get a very good warm-
weather outfit without great expendi-
ture.
For instance, there are really good
lingerie waists to be had at reasonable
priecs, and ready-to-wear hats in very
good style. Yesterday as we strolled
through the aisles of a store whose
reputation Is world-wide, we saw
gowns whose cost soared pretty high
and also the most fetching bargains
in th" way of shirt-waists and pretty
hats. And stuffs on display ranged
ill the way from a dotted Swiss at
$2.50 a yard to a thin white goods at
15 cents, and In the latter we realized
here were wonderful possibilities-
fine tucking, a bit of cream insertion
with frills of white lace, a modish pat-
tern used In the cut, and a lingerie
blouse evolved equal to the one in the
glass case over yonder. For the
lingerie blouse of the season, the
shoulder seam is moderately short;
sleeve moderately full and quite short
and edged with frills; the back
trimmed, not, however, so elaborately
as the front. The fluffy blouse is very
( harming worn with a coreselet skirt,
the kind high at the back and cut out
in front.
It seemed to us all the skirts on dis.
play except those of strictly utili-
tarian sort, were made coreselet
fashion. Some exquisite ones were
noted; a pink messaline fitted to the
waist by smallish tucks, with upper
part of soft, creamy radium silk, so
fine and sheer and lighted by the faint-
est blush of roses; a soft blue crepe
de chine, the skirt bordered with
three large tucks, a lovely (lowered
organdy much frilled, a revival of an
old fashion, reminding of rosebud
gardens of girls on diploma day.
In the millinery section one saw
beautiful colors and enough all-black
hats to give pleasing contrast. Here
was a pink messaline draped turban,
the only trimming a couple of moss
rosebuds. Here wa3 a hat adorned
. with a dozen different kinds of posies,
grotesque when off the head, becoming
when on. There were sailors galore,
most of them trimmed more than they
should have been—one had got so used
to thinking of a sailor as a simple af-
fair. Here were hats that looked as
though they had been used for foot-
balls, a dent here, another illogical
one there; and put it on the head, it
was chick, very unlike the battered af-
fair of a moment ago. And that is
what we have to say about hats: that
they look awfully queer off, remark-
ably well on.
Again we are to tilt our headgear,
not quite so much forward 83 last
year, but give a tipsy angle to one
side. Oh, the vanities and the va-
garies of fashion!
Yet another word about hats. The
bird o' Paradise is with us with a
vengeance, its trail everywhere. And
peacock tones are with us in a strength,
in millinery, and in gowns. One sees
whole windows of peacock blue
dresses, so brilliant as to be visible
a very long way off. In contrast with
this garishness Is a new color called
"banana," of which there are several
nhades—the range goes from palest
cream to biscuit and reaches its cli-
max in a pale mustard

Fashions for Children
Attention was called lately to the
coats offered for girls, and as we
looked at several models we thought
the fashions most commendable this
year, so simple and sensible. They
were all of light weight and light col-
ored wool and all made on the box or-
der; loose and comfortable, easy to
get into and out of. For a girl of 12
there was a three-quarter length coat
of tan cloth plaided by lines of soft
green; cuffs and collar of green cloth.
A twin in design was of tan and red.
For an older girl was shown a semi-
loose jacket of tan covert cloth, just
he thing for cool summer days and
very pretty with a sailor of burnt-
straw.
Lingerie hats, wash hats which can
l e easily pulled apart and put to-
gether again, are in evidence every-
where, They are of white pique, of
jolored wash materials, and there are
rome of silk. The best dressed chil-
dren one sees, almost invariably wear
tuhbable garments; wraps, frocks,
trousers all capable of Immersion in
Ihe wash tub—and many hats nowa-
days are made with this in view.
The one-piece frock continues the
approved one for little girls.. For
a very young lady the skirt Is made
extremely short, belt placed low, the
plaits run down to this belt and the
fulness below as extreme as the skirt's
brevity. There are many short-sleeved
frocks; a pretty fashion, for children
almost always have such adorable
arms.
The sailor suit for small boys has
returned to favor, and the streets are
to be filled with diminutive sailor
men. The Norfolk has many adher-I
ents, is as popular as any models on
the mai'Ket. Changes In boys' fash-
ions are seldom radical, the mothers'
do not have much trouble in planning i
designs for them. And then, too, so
many things enn be bought ready
made, even for Master Three-Year-Old.
The tailors provide even him with a'
natty spring suit; he may go forth—
or his mother—and purchase trousers

promenade with the proud conscious
ness he Is "correct." To be sure, the
treasured trousers arc almost hidden
by the upper garment of "his suit,"
but they have real pockets, make the
little one feel very proud and man-
ly. And nothing gives his elder
brother more pleasure than the rainy-
day coat "just like father's." The
other day when skies were lowering,
we happened to be out and could not
help noticing what smart rain coats
were worn by lads of various ages.
One boy of 13 or thereabouts had on a
straight box coat of dark gray, r.s trig
and neat as could be, and he trudged
along In it, proud as a cock.
CUSHION EMBROIDERY.
Full Description for Making a Hand-
some Cushion of Bonun Satin
Richly Embroidered.
This is a lovely cushion of Roman
satin in a pretty shade of moss-green,
the embroidery being worked in shad-s
of old pink in satin and knot-stitches.
A quarter of the design is shown, and
before tracing it upon the material, it
would be well to make four tracings
of the piece given, and join them cor-
rectly together to form the complete
border, which may be traced on the
satin by means of blue tracing cloth.
Having traced the design on the satin,
run It out with soft cotton, onco In the

Imes In the thicker parts; then work
iver In satin-stitch, preserving an
■ven outline lo the edge. The stamen
)f the flowers are worked in cording-
Jtitch with French knots at the ends;
he dots at the sides are each a French
xnot.
After the embroidery Is worked,
place a damp cloth on a board, then
the satin right side up on the cloth,
fix It by pins along the edges, strain-
ing it as much as possible; leave it
thus all night. A border of velvet of
i darker color than the satin, which
Is put on with a piping of old-pink silk
finishes the square. The other side
if the cushion is plain satin. For the
frill the satin is cut on tlie cross
about five Inches wide, thi3 allows
for a frill that is hemmed at the edge;
the other edge is gathered, anil is set
between tho front and back of cush-
on.
A LITTLE BEAUTIFYING.
Lovely Soft Hands Acid to the Appear-
ance a Great Deal—A Recipe
for Cold Cream.
For you with rough hands I would
advise a pair of old gloves a size or
more too large; rub a good cold cream
into your hands every night after hav-
ing thoroughly washed and dried tnem.
Put the gloves on and keep them on
all night. Don't skimp with the cold
cream, but put more on than you think
is necessary. For strengthening and
softening the nails and curing the
hangnails you will find the following
formula excellent:
White vaseline, one ounce; pulver-
ized white castile soap, 60 grains; oi!
af rose, sufficient to perfume.
This is employed for softening the
nails, curing hangnails, etc.
Cold cream can be made at home as
follows:
Pure wax, one ounce; spermaceti,
two ounces; almond oil, half pint.
Melt these together by a gentle heat,
then add:
Glycerine, three ounces; attar of
rose3, 12 drops.
Stir till neary cold, then let the mix-
ture settle.
This is the basis of most of the toilci
ur.guents so largely sold. Any kind of
perfume can be added to give an agree-
able odor.
TREATMENT FOR DANDRUFF
Common Vaseline Easy and Efficaci
ous—Green Soap or Egg Sham-
poo Recommended.
Plain yellow vaseline Is one of the
very best applications where the scalp
is quite dry and hard; perhaps be-
cause it is so cheap, is the reason it is
not more appreciated. Crude petroleum
has a splendid effect on the scalp that
has lost its vitality; seems to have the
power to excite a marvelous new
growth. Druggists should all keep
this; it is not In the least like the
kerosene used for lighting or cooking
purposes; to apply that to the hair Is
to ruin It beyond redemption, in time.
The vaseline should be massaged Into
the scalp at night.
Green soap is a preparation that
comes in bottles, not in cakes, and has
special cleansing qualities for the
hair; the head should be wet all over
filled with the soap and well rubbed;
the rinsing must be thorough
Where there Is no dandruff, and hair
and scalp are dry, use the yolk of an
?gg beaten in a pint of soft, warm wa-
er; rinse in half a dozen more wa-
ers and dry well; no soap Is needed.
The hair should first be wet all over
when this Is used.
WHEN ANDJVHAT TO EAT.
Tho Woman of Leisure Often Eats Too
Much and the Woman of Busi-
ness Not Sufficient.
We hear a great deal about every
one's eating too much.
Most people eat too much at the
wrong rime, but many more people eat
unintelligently, w;ltes Margaret Hub-
hard Ayer. in the New York World.
Women, in particular, do not apply
half as much serious thought to tho
question of nourishing their bodies
properly as they do to clothing them-
selves attractively.
If you had a fine sewing machine
you would not allow it to get rusted
for lack of a little oil, nor would you
pour the oil over it after it was thor-
oughly lubricated, or let it get clogged
for lack of cleaning. Your body is
much more intricate than your sew-
ing machine—needs more delicate ad-
justment and more thought to keep it
in order.
Tho mother who disobeyed the doc-
tor's orders, giving her sick child solid
food, only did what many other moth-
ers do daily when they press food on
the child whose stomach has already
rebelled at too much overindulgence,
in the vain hope of strengthening it.
It may be said with safety that tho
women of leisure err on the side of
eating too much, while the very active
business or profes3ionel woman does
business or professional woman does
herself equally as much harm by not
eating enough. Food should not bi
taken in large quantities, but it
should be taken at reasonable and
regular intervals by the working wom-
an anyhow. No one rule of diet ap-
plies to all individuals. Different oc-
cupations, sedentary or active, neces-
sitate different diets. Vegetarianism
may agree with one person and make
another feel weak and negative.
The foundation of success is health,
and in order to be healthy each one
must study and observe the require-
ments of her own constitution. It is
not intelligent for a woman to allow
herself to become cranky, nervous, irri-
table and haggard-looking because she
has not devoted as much time to study-
ing her own physical needs as she docs
to observing and catering to those of
her pet canary.
The woman who overeats has only
herself to thank for the unpleasant
results. She knows betters—if she
doesn't, one experience ought to teach
her. The woman who undereats or
who eats what simply "tastes" and
does not nourish her need not con-
sider herself intelligent.
There are plenty of good books on
diet and the value of foods, and to be
well nourished requires neither much
money nor much time—merely some
thought on the subject.
It is not intelligent to go bargain-
hunting and return with a sick head-
ache for lack of a glass of milk or a
bowl of soup at lunchtimc.
It is not intelligent to become old,
wrinkled and nervous on a diet of
many cups of tea a day. The road to
youth and long life is along the lino
of careful and thoughtful dieting.
intelligence, like charity, begins at
home, and starts with the food ques-
tion.
THE LINEN COSTUME.
Ihe Short Coat Sensible as Long Onei
Rumple So Easily and Lose
Freshness.

Linens of every variety are making
heir appearence and, fine or coarse,
smooth or rough, are evidently to be
tremendously in evidence again.
Many tailors advocate the short
coat with ail linen costumes, leaving
the tourist coat for serge, tweed, silk,
■tc. A close fititng bolero, strapped
anil tailored, is quite as stylish us a
loose bolero, and the caraco, the box
coat and the double breasted coat will)
Care of the Teeth.
Cracking nuts, biting thread, and
want of cleanliness are injurious to the
teeth. After eating the mouth should
be rinsed with lukewarm water, and
such pieces of food as are not thus
washed away removed carefully by a
toothpick. The toothbrush should be
elastic and not too hard. Hub up and
down as well as across the teeth. A
great many do more injury than good
by rubbing the teeth so hard as not
only to Injure the enamel by excessive
friction, but also to hurt tbe gums.
No care will preserve them as they
should be kept without consulting a
dentist
A NEAT SI MMER DRESS.
jemi-fitting back and loose fronts are
all being resurrected for tailored
linens.
Rather wide linen girdles cut in two
sections, curved to fit the waist snug-
ly and closely stitched from top to
bottom In horizontal lines, accompany
many of the new linen coat and skirt
costumes. There is an attempt lo
manag# the princess skirt In linen;
that is, to cut skirt and girdle In one,
but here again the ravages and dis-
tortions caused by laundering must be
taken into account, and the stitched
shaped ginllo of the linen, filling In
the soaco left between skirt and short
bolero, Is a nicer device.
THE CHOICE OF PAINT.
A Healthy Skin.
But every woman can have a
healthy, creamy skin with a pair of
lovely blush pink cheeks. Pink cheeks
are found In the diet. Nuthlng except
a good dietary will give a woman the
alnk F.nd white complexion.
Fifty years ago a well-painted house
was a rare sight; to-day an unpalnted
house is rarer. If people knew the
real value of paint a house In need
of paint would bo "scarcer than hen's
teeth." There was some excuse for
our forefathers. Many of them lived
In bouses hardly worth preserving;
they knew nothing about paint, ex-
cept that It was pretty; and to get a
house painted was a serious and cost-
ly job. The difference between their
case and ours is that when they want-
ed paiut It had to be made for them;
whereas when we need paint we can
go to the nearest good store and buy
It, In any color or quality ready for
use. Wo know, or ought to know by
this time, that to let a house stand
unpalnted Is most costly, while a good
coat of paint, applied in season, is the
best of Investments. If we put off th«
brief visit of the painter we shall In
due time have tho carpenter coming
to pay us a long visit at our expense
Lumber Is constantly getting scarcer,
dearer and poorer, while prepared
paints are getting plentler, better and
le3s expensive. It is a short-sighted
plan to let the valuable lumber of our
houses go to pieces for the want of
paint.
For tho man that needs paint there
aro two forms from which to choose;
ono Is the old form, rtlll favored by
certain unprogressive painters who
have not yet caught up with tho times
—lead and oil; tho other is tho ready-
for use paint found In every up-to-date
store. Tho first must bo mixed with
oil, driers, turpentine and colors be-
fore It Is ready for use; tho other
need only be stirred up In tho can
nnd It Is ready to go on. To buy
load and oil, colors, etc., and mix
them Into a paint by hand Is, In this
twentieth century, about tho same
as refusing to ride In a trolley car
because one's grandfather had to walk
or ride on horseback when bo wanted
to go anywhere. Prepared paints have
been on the market le«s than fifty
years, but they have proved on tho
whole so Inexpensive, so convenient
and so good that the consumption to-
day Is something over sixty million
gallons a year and still growing. Un-
less they had been in the main satis
factory, It stands to reason there
would havo been no such steady
growth In their use.
Mixed paints are necessarily cheap-
er than paint of tho hand-mixed kind,
becauso they are made 1* a largo way
by machinery from materials bought
In large quantities by tho manufac-
turer. They are necessarily better
than paints mixed by hand, because
they aro more finely ground and more
thoroughly mixed, and because there
is less chance of the raw materials In
them being adulterated. No painter,
howover careful he may be, can ever
be sure that tho materials ho buys arc
not adulterated, but the large paint
manufacturer does know In every
case, because everything he buys goeo
through the chemist's hands before
he accepts it.
Of course thero are poor paints on
the market (which are generally
cheap paints). So there is poor flour,
poor cloth, poor soap; but because of
that do we go back to tho hand-mill,
tho hand-loom and tho soap-kettle of
the backwoods No, we use our com
mon ser.3e in choosing goods. We find
out the reputation of the different
brands of flour, cloth and soap; we
take account of the standing of the
dealer that handles them, we ask
our neighbors. So with paint; If the
manufacturer ha3 a good reputation.
If the dealer Is responsible. If our
neighbors have had satisfaction with
it, that ought to he pretty good evi-
dence that the paint is all right.
"Many men of many kinds"—
Many paints of many kinds;
but while prepared paints may diffei
considerably In composition, the bet
tor grades of them all agree pretty
closely in results. "All roads lead to
Rome," and the paint manufacturers,
starting by different paths, havo all
the same object—to make the best
paint possible to sell for tho least
money, and so capture and keep th"
trade.
There Is scarcely any other article
of general use on the market to-day
that can bo bought with anything like
tho assurance of getting your money's
worth as the established brands of pre-
pared paint. Tho paint you buy to-
day may not be like a certain patent
medicine, "the same as you have al-
ways bought," but If not, it will be
because the manufacturer has found
a way of giving you a better article
for your money, and so making more
sure of your next order.

HOW JKLL1FER
STOPPED SMOKING.
BY KENNETT HARRIS.
Jenifer was not in so many words
given his choice between "the wee
little whimpering love and the green
god Nick O'Teen," because the girl
wsan't that sort of a girl. She would
have let him smoke himself black in
the face and her love would not have
whimpered not just then, at any rate
—though the odor of the weed was a
deadly offense to her delicate nostrtis.
No, there was never a word said about
conditions, but she was a truthful
youug woman withal, and when she
was asked about it she admitted that
It was disagreeable to her. ' But If you
sit a little way olf and on the other
side of me where it won't blow into
my face I shan't mind It in tho least,"
she added.
But Jenifer was not the man to ac-
cept any sacrifice like that at the
hands of the woman he loved. He was
disappointed, certainly, for he was a
slave to the habit, and In his Imagin-
ings of the domestic life to ho his
pipes had figured lo a certain extent.
The home atmosphere of his dreams
was always a little bit hazy. It was
a beautiful collection of pipes, that ol
Jenifer's, too. but lie hardly hesitated
He called In his particular friends and
wltliin a week every stumpy clay, well-
browned meerschaum, amber-tipped
brier, long-stemmed Saxony porcelain
and blackened corncob was distribut-
ed. The tobacco jar he kept as a
relic.
Shut right up. A man knows what
that means. A woman doesn't and it's
quite likely that Jenifer's girl didn't,
That made it ail the harder, too. Still,
she seemed appreciative and the young
man felt repaid. In course of time
they were married and if Jenifer
missed anything lie most assuredly
didn't show it. If Mrs. Jelllfer had
•any fault to find with her husband she
certainly took nobody into her confl-
lence. Talk about your turtle doves!
It was predicted that within a yeat
Jelllfer would bo furnishing a "den'
where he could sit by himself and
moke to his heart's content. Such
tilings have happened, of course, and
tbe smoking has gradually extended
so that eventually the lady would
have to fix up a little room of her own
where she could sit and not have to
breathe a lot of stule tobacco smoke.
But nothing of the sort happened in
tills instance. A nursery started, but
no den.
Of course Jelllfer became a bore anil
a braggart. He would tell all the old
crowd what Idiots they were, ruining
their constitutions and muddling their
intellects by their persistence In the
unclean vice of smoking. He would
glory in Ills own improved health to
an extent that was absolutely sicken
Ing and boast of the ease with which
lie burst the fetters of habit.
"There was no compulsion about it
Nobody ever asked me to stop. I sup-
pose I was as bad a case as you evet
heard of. I simply smoked all the
time. I flopped for meals and that
was about all. Hut I decided I'd quit.
1 didn't fool with a limit of one cigar
or pipe alter each meal, or once n
day, or anything of that sort. 1 told
my wife—she wasn't my wife then—1
told her 1 was going to quit. I said;
I'm not going to smoke again.' She
didn't believe 1 could stop, but from
that day to this I've kept my word.
All it takes is a little will power.
There's only one way to quit and
that's to quit." And so on.
And then you ought to have seen
Mrs. Jenifer's look of pride and ad-
miration. Well, it came one Kummet
when both young Jelllfer and the lady
seemed to be a little run down and,
after some discussion. It was decided
they should go across the lake when
some friends of theirs were staying,
and remain there through the hot
weather. Of course Jelllfer couldn't
go. The best lie could do would be ta
run down Saturday afternoon and stay
till Monday. He slept In tho fiat and
went out l'or his meals. It was lone-
some.
The third night of his bereavement
he dragged Matson home with him
and they sat and chatted over old
times. Matson lit a cigar.
"That smells kind of good," said Jel-
llfer, unthinkingly.
Matson passed over his cigar case.
"No, sir," said Jelllfer, stoutly, "I
should say not. Of course you can
waste your substance and get tobacco
heart if you like, but as for me—"
He was alone tho next night, and after
yawning over a book for some time he
gotupand began to walkabout the room.
He noticed his old tobacco jar on the
top of the bookcase and he took off the
lid and smelled It. There wasn't much
smell to It.
The next night he was in Michigan —
and the next.
On Monday night he suddenly got up
from Ills chair, put on his hat and went
out. When he returned he took from
hl3 pocket a package of cut plug of a
remembered brand and a pipe—a nice
new cob, yellow and shining with var-
nish. He put- these on tho table and
then sat down and looked at them.
"It would be kind of good," lie mur-
mured. "But I told Eudora I wouldn".
I won't, either."
It was nearly bedtime when he opened
tile package of tobacco and filled the
pipe. For a few moments he sat suck-
ing at the stem. Then ho got up,
struck a match and lit It.
"It doesn't seem U> taste so good, after
all," he said, after a few whiffs. In a
few minutes he laid the pipe down and
went out of the room.
"I guess I've got strength of mind
enough to keep my resolution," hi
said.
He opened the window and pitched
the pipe and tobacco out Into the street.
