Nearly always it must be reinforced he wardrobe which seemed so ex- ensive at the beginning of the sum- mer and which at the waning of that Jair season appears to be on the verge pf disintegration. Faithfully one’s onfidential seamstress or maid re- laces sleeves and frillings or adjusts girdles and sashes, so that the rocks may pass muster for a few eeks longer. But to get comfortably through the final warm period the woman who has learned to profit by experience orders new afternoon costume, an evening rown and perhaps an extra wrap. ‘here is a certain satisfaction in hav- Ing these new garments because of the arious differences they show, such as he narrow fur borderings on many of he afternoon costumes, Sable Bordered Tunic.

Spanish influence upon the modes of the season was not so marked in the small hats of early summer as it is in the large shapes brought out for its waning. Picturesque All Black Grandee Hat. These latter are wonderfully pictu- resque above white lace or embroid- ered batiste gowns, and of exceptional eclat i a certain ribbon trimmed, low crowned sombrero. Because its broaa brim is slightly rolled at the left siae to stand upward and outward In stately fashion, it is called the “grandee.” In all black or all white velvet it is immensely chic. While speaking of hats it is apropos to say a word about the new coiffures. Coiffure May Conceal the Ear. Women who know that their ears are beyond criticism are drawing the locks up smoothly and niling all of the hair high upon the head. This is typi- cally a Spanish mode, and® one most flattering to regular features, But the possessor of imperfect ears, albeit owning a classical profile, should take advantage of the ooiffure which de- mands that the locks shall be drawn smoothly from the brow, but loosely, so that they shall softly veil the ears, and twisted at the back of the head on a line even with the tip of the nose. The hair is wern in this manner by a Newport woman of great distinction, who has just ordered an all black din- ner gown to wear during the remain- der of the summer. Its satin founda- tion is veiled by a long tunic made of two lengths of tulle. These, crossing the shoulders, forming in their course | wing-shaped sleeve caps at the waist line and run under a black satin girdle and falling straight to the feet, ex- ' pose only the train of the satin slip. Tightly Clinging Underdress. Many of the newest ball frocks sug- gest Sargent’s painting of ‘“Carmen- cita.”” Their underskirts escape the floor by from four to six inches, and are so closely fitted to the figure that they reveal its every curve. Shocking to read about, but not a bit shocking to look upon, because the underdress is veiled by a tulle or chiffon over- skirt so full that the slip portion of the frock Is suggested rather than definitely apparent, As these two skirts are of even length the upper can be regarded only as a veiling. It falls free and in full foids, as does a Spanish dancer’'s costume, Both skirts are edged with pendent beads, in which the beads are set a half inch apart, or with a bead fringe. While these beads prevent the transparent overdress from flying about they do not actually weight it, Ribbon Trimmed Tulle Smart.

The rfbbon, echo- ing the tone of the underskirt, fur- nishes shoulder straps, a broad band crossing the bust and forming the basic line of the decolletage, and a pair of crossed strands slanting tow- ard the hips—making an inverted V above the waistliné at front center—- and bow-knotting at the back of the skirt. A number of these dance frocks are in black. The black tulle gown is going to be smart for afternoon as well as for evenings during the au- tumn, Fancy a gray satin hat touched deli- cately with gray and white plumes worn with this costume, and picture the daintiest of your brunette friends wearing it. Of course it might safely be eseayed by a blonde of brilliant coloring, because the faint sug- gestion of ecru underlying the gray would prevent her from looking too neutral of tint. But the blonde would doubtless get more satisfaction from the same model in white chiffon, bor- dered with white bead mingled with gray. On this the hue ot the summer ermine girdle will embroideries ! be | more prominent than upon the orig:- | nal creation, So perfect and altogether appealing is this French gray and white costume that the model has been adapted 1o mourning garb. For deep mourning the bead embroidery is entirely in dull | black beads and the girdle in sealskin and black grosgrain ribbon, For halt | mourning white beads ure minglea with the black spheres, and the girdl: is of white ermine and black satin ribbon, or the gown is all white wit: a sprinkling of black beads and a gir- dle of baby lamb and white satin rib- bon, The young girl wearing mourn- ing might have the model coried in white chiffon and beads and girdle it with miniver and white ribbon. YFeature of Entertainment the bers Given By Kelting. Num- One of the largest attendances of the season enjoyed the band concert i given at Walnut Hill park last night by the American band. Features of the entertainment were an octarina solo, “Un Peu d'Amour,” and an exhibition of cartoon drawing by George T, Kelting. Both of these were enthuslastically received.

Suppose that you were a cook. Suppose that some morning the por- ridge, the scrambled eggs, the muffins and the coffee should all have a disagreeable taste. What would you think was the matter? Would you think that there must be somethingthe flour and the coffee? Or would the flour and the coffee? Orf would you at once suspect that the milk, the ingredient common to all these dishes,—was at fault? You think that too obvious a question to answer? Perhaps so, and yet,—well let me tell you about a woman that I know. She is a very bright woman. She has a tremendous supply of ideas and energy and she could make a great deal of money if she could get a few honest efficient helpers to carry out her plans. But she cannot. She has tried over fifty people in the last five years and every one has proved untrustworthy, unbusinesslike or unreliable in fulfilling his part of the contract. You understand of course that I am quoting from her own story of her troubles. Strange to say, almost every one of the fifty, accuses her of untrustworthiness and unreliability, and stranger still, rAny of them are people whom everyone but this woman has found reliable and square. And yet I know that the remotest suspicion has never entered that woman’s head that it may be some kink in her which makes it impossible for any of these people to get along with her. They are unreliable, un- businesslike, unreasonable, etc., but she—why she is a most unfortunate martyr to other people’s faults. In other words the cereal, the eggs, the flour and the coffee are all bad but the milk, the one ingredient com- men to all combinations, is beyond suspicion. Again, T know a woman who does have the worst luck in being thrown with people who are difficult to get along with. She was handi- capped from the start. Her mother, her father, her two sisters and her brother were all difficult people. At school she fell in with girls who seemed pleasant and easy going at first acquaintance but who all de- veloped trying dispositions. By graduation she “didn’'t speak” to any of them. At college her experiences were much the same, and I am told that she has discovered that her husband (who seems to all his acquain- tances a very kindly even tempered man) has a very peculiar and difficult disposition, and superfluous to say, her “in-laws” are positively impossible “I am always hoping to find a real friend,” I once heard this woman say, after a falling out with a school fr iend, “and always being disappointed.” She never even suspects why! T have sketched two striking exa mples of the type which will believe all the world wrong rather than itself. You doubtless know others. So perhaps u see now why I didn’t let you call that question altogether obviou i hereafter.
