The poet celebrates the coming and going of the year in verse and women note its passing seasons lovingly in their ap- parel. Three exquisite hats are pictured here, one of them from the most re- nowned establishment in Parls, and the other two, in every way as excel- lent, originated in America. They are especially appropriate for wear at the end of the summer and through the coming fall, In the first hat a straw shape is decorated with a very heavy ribbon laid across the crown and tied at the left side at the shoulder. This ribbon 18 very heavy and soft. There is a wreath of velvet plums with velvet foliage and small white berries about the crown. This hat may be developed in several colors, but in bronze or purple shades and in bronze-browns will be found most beautiful. The second hat is a combination of straw braid and velvet which may be developed in any of the rich and quiet colors now fashionable. It i8 remark- ably simple in design. The round crown 18 covered with velvet, and the perfection of workmanship. Thrust : through the brim and under this fold | a coronet of the daintest of feathers, known as the Numidi, furnishes tho] decoration for this elegant hat. The third hat is a straw shape faced with chiffon in black. It shows the movement toward wider brims and| picturesque shapes. Its trimming con- sists of a spray of autumn flowers, posed in the bandeau and upturned brim at the left side, and a similar spray at the right. The chrysanthe- mum or the hydrangea or small fruits, with follage, may be selected for this model. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Putting On, Taking Off. Do not forget the old rules for put- ting on and taking off gloves. When putting them on, do not try to get the whole glove on at once, but first work on the fingers, taking care to have the seams fit exactly even at the sides; draw the glove over the hand and then put in the thumb, but leave the seam of the thumb down the center. Re- member that a glove once put on wrong can never be stretched into the right shape again, so it is well to take the little care at the start. One of the features of the season is a touch of color in white dresses. outline of the brim {8 emphasized by a | Sometimes this touch is in the form French fold of velvet put on with | of black velvet. HE simplest of wraps both for chil- dren and grownups happens to be the strongest feature of the new fall styles. This is the cape. It was inconceivable that it should be devel- oped in so many variations of shape and combinations with other gar- ments until the fact was apparent. Now we have long plain capes cover- ing the figure, half length and three- quarter length capes (some of them in combination with other wraps and nearly always detachable), and others that are short and used as a touch of style on coats. So that the cape may be accepted and used in any way the individual chooses. A pretty cape for a school girl is shown in the picture. Such a simple garment is easily made at home, and nothing could be better for the cool days of autumn and the long Indlan summer. This cape is made of a rather heavy woolen fabric in a fancy weave which looks llke a wide wale cheviot. Any of the standard woolens i are appropriate for theee capes, and { we shall see them in serge, broad- | cloth, cheviot, Scotch mixture, home- spun and various novelty weaves. The Cape for the School Girl old reliable staple ocolors, dark blue, brown, gray, and the dark reds make the best cholce for children. The capes are lined either with plain mate- rial or with stripes or plaide When the home dressmaker under- takes to make a cape she should pro- vide herself with a pattern in order to get the adjustment over the shoul- ders as it should be. Some capes flare more than others, also, and the finishing at the neck varies, as do the methods of fastening. It would be difficult to find a more desirable model than the one pictured here. It is so managed that it may be fastened up about the throat, when required, by buttons and loops on the under side. Straps crossing in front hold it in place when it is worn open at the front, a8 shown In the picture. In keeping with the fad for suit hats, caps to match capes or other wraps keep pace with the times. The cap shown in the picture {8 a type {llustrating this fashion.

THE IDEAL GIRL By AMELIA THONEY. ©000000000000000000000000 Does a man ever marry his ideal girl? This is the question asked by “a mere”’ man, and he continues, in the following entertaining manner:I'! can't quite remember the date when' my ideal girl first began to stand out distinctly in my mind, but I think it was when 1 was twenty-five. She | was a heroine of a book 1 had read, or, rather, & girl made up of virtues and graces of a dozen beroines. was the most adorable creature that ever was pictured.

I imagined her in time of plenty sitting at my feet like a child-wife; in times of hunger, turn- ing out a huge beefsteak ple; in the springtime, scouring the house from | top to bottom; a ministering angel in ' sickness, the fairest of the fair at a dance; timid when I felt strong, brawny when my confidence was low- That's the sweetheart I chose, and, having thus set her up—a creature of beauty, wit and work—the next thing was to find her and marry her. I met a girl with golden-bronze hair, but she was tall; so, without con- sidering her further, I tried again. Soon I was introduced to ome with just the slight figure and appealing blue eyes of my ideal. Unfortunate- ly, her hair was & rusty red, and when 1 imagined her at my fireside I closed the acquaintance. Strangely enough, within a week I met a girl who might have been the twin sister of the last, with this dif- ference: she had the exact golden- bronze hair of my ideal. I was over joyed. I loved her as soon as I set eyes on her hair and face, but I hesi- tated when I saw her hands and feet. They were large—huge! How could I kiss and fondle hands like those? Since then I have met many girls who were nearly like my ideal, but not satisfactory. Those who were ten- der and childish, could not cook or mend; those who could cook and mend were big and practical. One of them I nearly became engaged to. She was pretty, slight, all I wished, but for one thing, or, rather, two; her eyes were a pale red. Many times 1 looked into them, trying to make up my mind if I could accept them in place of blue. If I never looked into by pale red ones! My love would surely die. I dared not risk it. Does a man ever find his ideal? And, if he does, is she the sort that would make him happy? I have my doubts. At twenty-nine my bronze-haired, blue- eyed ideal is but a memory; and I'm afraid it I met her now, radiantly per- fect, I should not suffer a heart throb. Another has taken her place. One day a medium-sized girl came along— a girl with brown hair, brown eyes, a cheery, good-fellow laugh, and a heart bursting with affection. She haa laughed me into liking her very much. What the next step will be I cannot tell, but I doubt if a man ever mar. ries, or wants to marry his ideal girk Dusky Ghost’s Scheme. _ Despite ample physical proportions; and a countenance which could not by} the wildest stretch of the imagination; be considered pallid, Alberta Simp-; son, colored, has enacted the role of! ghost with amazing success in an At past few days. She was captured nft-i er she had frightened several stenog- raphers so badly that medical atten-} tion was required, and was sentenced; to 30 days in the county jail. ‘ Invariably, when confronted by the; “ghost,” the stenographers have; dropped their purses and vanity boxesi before taking to their heels, and the’ colored woman is reported to have reaped a rich harvest from this source. It was her plan to hide in retiring rooms of the office building, utter weird groans and thereby cause panic among the girls as they entered. Just Out of Wives. “The first time I went fishing up in Maine,” said a New York clergy- man, who loves the gentle art, “I had as my guide an odd old native of the backwoods named Joy—Cap'n Joy, they called him. He was peculiarly disinclined to be communicative, and did not seem to find any interest in any subject I from time to time brought forward, so one day on the lake I thought I would try him along the line of his domestic relations, and I said to him: " ‘Have you a wife, cap'n? “‘No,’ he drawled. ‘I'm sort o’ out o' wives jest now.’ “Not seeing any particular point about the reply I let it go at that, but I found later that there was consider~ able point to it, for I learned that Cap'n Joy had had five wives, and had buried the fifth only the week be- fore.” The Old Man’s Worry. “What did her father say when you asked his consent to your marriage?”’ “He wanted to know if I could sup-| port him in the style in which she had been doing.”"—Detroit Free Press.
