" "Well , yen , 1 suppose one should think n good deal about domestic fashions , BO to speak , " admitted the tall girl from Cali fornia , whose own Norse features were nil- inlrabiy set off by a delicate gray gown trimmed with gray seed pearl braid.

" "Nothing of the sort , " stooping to pin ono perfect rose In the breast of the gray gown , "I como of gooil old Puritan stock and I nm afraid I feel to n certain degree about morning froufrouncss as old Cotton Mather might. A woman should begin her day slick of head as a robin with not a super fluous bow or frill about her , permitting ' olor and plumage to Increase gradually 'through 'tho ' day until night falls , when the jewels shine out like stars. My Ideal morn ing dress IB a perfectly simple cloth skirt , In a deep warm dahlia purple or zinnia red , mode with a slight train In the back and decorated up to the knees with close set horizontal pinch tucks. "With this skirt , " she continued , "should go a shirt waist of pure Parma violet flan nel by the law of natural affinity. Its whole bosom must bo laid In pinch tucks BO close set that they will stiffen the front and down from tack to waist between the areas of tucks runs a double box pleat of flannel , Ita four folds edged , stitched and piped with white silk.

" Inquired Miss California , with an expression of babyish nnlvctto In. her turquolH3 eyes. The hostess laughed gently. "As a mnt- itcr of fact , I do , but the sketch I have made of the violet study Is taken from ono worn by a. woman I dashed In to see at 0 o'clock the other morning concerning the health of n charity patient wo support In common at n hospital. Warmth , tidiness , comfort and grace were all so clearly signified by her appearance it lint I mutely wondered how anyone ono could feel a longing for the fluffy tea jacket. "Another woman I know wears a little plain , dark , silk waist , with a simple woolen skirt In the morning and then with her own fingers she fashions big sailor collars of line nainsook and embroidery to fall over the silk-clad shoulders and draw down In front to a polii't as long as her ribbon' belt.

I nnnlly let my affections go out to the green creation , for about certain verdant tints there Is a breath of spring and youthfulncss that I nm not proof against. My green frock has a skirt opened and draped rather quaintly nt the foot nnd then the waist Is almost childishly simple. A pointed vest over the front of cream white chiffon with a collar of cream guipure evergreen green taffeta laid back from that.

" "Orny stiede , my dear , soft gray , and gray stockings nnd n tiny cut stool buckle on the Hap of cither slipper.

In her book , "The Last of the Grcnt Scouts , " "Buffalo Bill's" sister gives this account of an episode which occurred during the Ulack Hills gold excitement , and which Illustrates the faculty her hero possesses of adapting hlmtelf to all emergencies' Mr. Mahan of West Superior , WIs. , and a party ot gold seekers were being chased by a bana of Indians v.'hlch they had succeeded In temporarily eluding. They met Buffalo Blh at the head of a squail ot soldiers , who were looking for redskins. The situation was ex. plained to the ncout , whereupon he said : "I nm looking for that Identical crowfl. Now you draw up In line and I will look you over and pick out the men that I want to go back with me. " Without any questioning ho was able to select the men who really wanted to return and flght the Indians. He left but two be. hind , but thay were ones > vbo would have been of no assistance had they been al lowed to go to the front. Will rode soratj distance In advance of his party , and whcN the Indians sighted him they thought ho was alone , and made n dash for him. Wlh whirled about .and made his horse go as il fleeing for his life. His men hod been carefully - fully ambushed. The Indians kept up a con stant firing , nnd when he reached a certain point Will pretended to be hit and fell from his horse. On came the Indlan-3 , howl ing like a choir of maniacs. The next mo ment they were In a trap , and Will and his men opened flro on them , literally annihilat ing the entire squad. It was the Indian style of warfare , and the ten "good Indians" left upon the Held , hud they been able lu kick , would have no right to do so. Will continued the march , nnd as the day- was well advanced began looking for n good place to camp. Arriving at the top of a rids * overlooking n little river , Will EBW a spot where ho had camped on n previous ex pedition ; but , to his great disappointment , the place was In possession of a large vil lage of hostllcs , who were putting up their tcptx-s , building camp fires and making them selves comfortable for the coming night. Quick ns a flash AVI11 decided what to do. "Thero arp too many of them for us to whip In the tired condition of ourselves anft horses , " said our hero. Then ho ported his men along the top of the ridge , with In- structlons to show themselves nt a signal from him , nnd descended nt once , solitary nnd alone , to the encampment of hostlles. Gliding rapidly up to thn chief , Will ad dressed him In his own dialect as follows : "I want you to leave here right away quick. 1 don't want to kill your women and chil dren. A big lot of soldiers are following mo , nnd they will destroy your whole village It you nro here when they come. " As ho waved his hand In the direction of the hill-top , brass buttons and pnllslio.l gun barrels began to glitter In the ray's of the Betting sl1" ' iid the chief ordered his braves to fold their tents and move on. Call It n bluff , diplomacy , or what you will , those who witnessed It were profoundly Impressed by It , nnd thenceforward shared the belief of the Indians themselves , thai Buffalo Bill wns no common , ordinary mortal.

Strength nil INnonlInl of Mmily Mini \VoinuII'N KycH , Hero Is an attempt to name the qualities which make tip the fascinating man. The man who charms all women must have the suggestion of bodily strength. It may bo ,1 strength which has been Impaired , but ths signs of It must be there. The man whoso face Is "peaked , " whoso eyes are not straightforward , whose hands nro thin nm\ dry and sallow never charms a woman. Is a woman were always to tell the honest truth she would say that the man she found fascinating wns the one she never lailghc * nt , who had no point on which her sense o : the ridiculous could rest. He Is not ncccssa- rlly serious himself , except In nil things which concern her. She Is delighted to laugh with him. It Is n humiliating fact Hint n woman no. tlcos first the way a man stands on his feet. The strength and power of hla legs nnd feel may typify to her his position lu the world. The man who trots along may bo of an an. gcllc disposition , have the face of a Raphael and the Intellect of a sage , but no woman { THK PASTEL , BLUE CREI'E. ever worshiped him. She wants him to step boldly. Women seldom find a smiling man fasci nating. They arc apt to distrust or to find commonplace the man who Is too readily good-humored. They admire a more com. plex nature , one which can discriminate. The "ladles' man , " the creature who seeks women's society constantly and Is alto , gcthcr gallant , they treat with small respect. They are necessary to him , not he to them. But that women docs not live who does not find a fascinating quality in the man with a quiet sense of humor. Sometimes she will oven allow 11 to direct Itself against her own Idiosyncrasies ; or , miner , that partlculai- \ idiosyncrasy which Is not her "sore spot.- j That must never bo touched or recognized , i It Is the man who seems firm , decided and | I strong , and yet who can consider her , who ] i wins a woman's heart and holds her allc- ! glance. Perhaps no better Illustration of thj ; way not to do It could be made than John 1 Drew's part of Mr. Parbury In "The Tyranny j ot Tears. " In this play Mrs. Parbury lovej ! her husband devotedly , but cries at hli : . i | whenever she wants her own way. She Is vhat her husband calls "exigent. " In th = 1 first act ho wants to go on a week's yacht ing with an old friend. She cries. Evcr > vomnn in the audlonco slls In despair , be. j cause not a man there has scnso enough to i ' ' know what that woman Is crying about , Ii Isn't because he wants to leave her , although ' she says It Is. It l simply because ho made 1'ls plan without consulting her. Had she done the same ho would have been furious. The fascinating man would have said , quite frankly : "Gunning wants mo to yacht for n week. Would you mind If I went ? " And she would have thought of the then. tinnd things she wanted to do , and would hnvo packed Ms traps gayly and bidden him godspeed. But ho who charms knows the feminine nature. A man a woman lovc. > j can have anything she can give him that ho , will ask for ! It's not the asking that makes all the row. It a woman knows absolutely that she can do ns she pleasea It is hej feminine nature to abnegate herself. She gives the road to everybody , secure nins happy In the knowledge that fclie can have li when bho wants It. And that fact the charm. Ing man knows. Your really fascinating man has nothing to fear from acquaintance. Ills charm Is strengthened by propinquity. Why name his qualltlca ? But ono covers him ; he mnkcs life Interesting. And ho IP the only man who ever knows the full charm of any woman's personality. , fi.osi : TO mATII roil VIAHS. AVcMliTii ( ilrl Sliitvly llclurnliifr from I Vnlli'V of liirU Sliiiilinv. Miss Elldn Wilbur of Son Francisco is i slowly coming back to life. Kor nearly two years she has rested In the valley < f the Miodo-.v , with the vital spark eo faint that It seemed at times she had passed away. Deprived of all the senses that make Ufa worth the living , MUu Wilbur has been held bad ; from the grave by Iho unremitting care o' the loved ones that hove been ever at her bedside during the twenty-two j l , months of her strange Illness. ! > It was In I'Vbrtinry pr March , 1808 , that ] Miss Wilbur was found unconsrloua In her , room early ono morning by her mother. ] ' Mrs. Ixjgan. The young v.omnn lay upon I a Eofa. Beside her on the floor was n novel. , * just as It had slipped from her hand when | she fell Into her long elcep. The gas was i I burning low , hut the nlndow was open a few Inches and thn transom wax open. The j , i fumes of g a tilled the room , however , and I I It was supposed that Mlfl Wilbur had b cn overcome by carbon monoxide. Several physicians were cnlle.l to attend her. They resorted to nil the usual remedies , but effected no good results. Then a phjnlclan was engaged especially for the case and t o trained nurses were also employed. Month followed month and no particular change was noticeable. Miss Wilbur remained unconscious ; she had lost all sense ot pain , and , although her eyes were open , she stared Into vacancy , She seemed like ono under tbo spell of evil genii. Toward the end of the flwt six months occasionally she would part her lips ns If to signify that she was thirsty. But ehe could not even swnllnw the light Eustc- nance offered. All the remedies known to ' medical science were used In the endeavor i to rcsupcltnto her. She was said to bo suffering from hysteria , a nervous disease with many strange phases. The greatest shocks of electricity made no apparent effect i upon her and for n long time her mother , her family nnd her fiance fcare-d the worst. Some six months ago new methods were tried by n now physician In the case , which by" this time had become n cause cclcbro. 1'or weeks upon weeks there wns no change. Then gradually the patient Improved. The 1 irasp of the Iron hand that had held her motionless almost lifeless for over eighteen - oen months wns gradually loosened. Llttlo by llttlo she gave signs which filled the hearts of the faithful watchers with Joy. Reason returned to her ; she wns able to sit up In bed ; she showed she knew her surroundings nnd It became evident that medical science wns gradually obtaining the mastery. "Mlts Wilbur has Improved greatly , " until Mrs. Logan , her mother. "Although she Is yet far from recovery , the advance made In the last six months has been so great that We now hnvo good reason to hope for her ultimate return to herself. She does not converse , but she has regained conscious ness In n considerable degree. She will BCOII again , 1 hope , bo her own sweet self. It Is now n matter ot building up the body nnd the mind. We think that can bo effected with careful attention. Of that she will not lack , for throughout her Illness she has been given the best nursing any patient ever had. ' AUAINST KUMAI.U SMOKI3HS. American AVonicn t'l litlnn tlio Vlco In London Society. Mrs. Cornelius Robinson of New York hns engaged In a crusade against the practice of smoking by women In London society. She Instances what she saw nt the Pioneer club as proof that British women arc In veterate smokers. But this Is not the cose nt the other women's clubs. Among the smart sot smoking , like biking , Is demode. Three two years ago all society people smoked , just ns all society women hiked nt Batter- sea or In Hyde park , Vor the same reason llttlo smoking la now Indulged In nt the Empress club , for Instance , ono of the smartest , noisiest and most crowded clubs In Louden , cr nt the equally smart yet quieter Grosvcnor Cres cent club. At the Victoria club , In Sackvllle street , used chiefly by writers , teachers and others earning their living In similar fashIon - Ion , a smoking room exists , but In n cheerless - less apartment away at the top of the house. I was not surprised to hear that no one ever went Into It or , at least , to smoke. Says Mrs. Robinson : "When It becomes the custom for American women to smoke I shall call It a. retrograde movement. In nations not yet risen to our civilization It Is usual for the women to smoke. English women have not yet advanced beyond the habit , that Is all. " The truth Is that not ono English woman in ten , not one In a hundred , even among professional smokers , hns acquired the habit with any degree of proficiency. To blow llttlo whiffs of smoke out of your mouth Is not smoking. The other evening at the Berkeley I watched a pretty English girl pretending with a cigarette after dinner. She had the smlflng , happy air of a woman who feels she Is doing something shoklug. You may observe mcst Englishwomen do this , for tobacco gives them so little sensa tion that they require ocular evidence to convince themselves they are smoking. Well , our young lady at the Berkeley , holding her cigarette delicately between her fingers , took a llttlo whiff nnd blew It out again between her pretty lips. Then she fell Into animated conversation and presently discovered that the cigar , tie had gone out. It was relighted , this time nil on one side , when , knocking off the ash with more determination than.skill , she put It out again. Prom n third and fourth lighting she got two tiny puffs , perhaps. Then she talked for so long , while she for got the enemy between her fingers , that she suddenly gave a llttlo scream nnd dropped It onto the tablecloth. Wo had an opportunity of contrasting this Englishwoman's muthod of smoking with the genuine method when calling next day upon the beautiful Boston "poster girl , " now settled In London. I found her at her easel with a cigarette between , her teeMi. "You don't think It Injurious ? " I asked her , whllo she rolled mo a cigarette with expert fingers. "Beneficial , on the contrary. It clears the brain nnd stimulates the powers of work. " "How many do you smoke n day ? " "Any number from 'ten ' to fifty , but my usual amount Is twenty-five or thirty. My dontor tells me that up to fifty they cannot - not hurt mo , but ho advises mo not to smoke more. " She took in n brenthful of smoke nnd drank a cup of 'tea ' which she had Just poured out. A minute Inter she blow Iho smoke from her mouth again In thick nnd perfect rings , passing the second and the succeeding rings through the first ono with amazing dexterity. As 1 came away up Sloane street 1 noticed a neatly dressed young girl In a flannel I blouse , serge sllnt : nnd sailor lint spy a I cigarette end lylliB on the pavement nt her furtive glance round she feet. With a stepped down , picked It up and secrocd : It In her hand. ' Kl'UlM Of KlIHllloll.

Discuses That Destroy Over Three Hun dred Thousand Lives Annually. GERMS WHICH CAUSE THEM Found in Every Breath of Air we Inhale. THEY LODGE IN THE AIR PASSAGES , Congested and Inflamed by Catarrh , Coughs and Colds , THE HEAT OF THE BODY Soon Restores Them to Animation , and They Multiply with Astonishing Rapidity. I During the coming winter , thousands upon thousands of men , women and children will die from 'bronchitis ' , pneumonia and consumption ; thousands of others w'lll contract these diseases by neglecting coughs , colds and catarrh , and become victims | of these terrible scourges. To think of all the misery and sulfcrlng which this will occasion Is appalling , especially to those who know that nine-tenths of all this could bo avoided , if people noiild only use a little care and common sense In looking out for themselves. How many there are who think nothing of n cold ir slight attack of catarrh , and , 1 themselves they are not dangerous ; but every person who walks the streets , goes to church , uses the street curs , or attends the theater with the dellralo membranco of the head and throat inflamed. Is taking a greater risk than they who ! enter n pest house ; for consumption Is no longer considered hereditary , but Infectious , i and the bacilli of this disease are found by thousands In nil the air wo breathe. Carried to these sore spots , these bacilli find n place of refuge , and Immetllatcly begin I to grow nnd 'multiply , unless destroyed. Heretofore It has ibocn Impossible to kill them , because nothing but a dry nlr germicide could enter the bronchial tubes nnd lungs , vapors , sprays and douches of carbolic add , ammonia , menthol and other liquid germicides have been tried by the medical professlort for years without any results whatever , excepting perhaps to wash the germs of catarrh Into the stomach and there produce a disease ( catarrh of the stomach ) which Is far moro dangerous than catarrh of the head. Until four years ago there was no remedy for disease of the respiratory organs which could bo Inhaled In the nlr we breathe. Then Hyomcl , the now dry nlr germicide , was discovered. That It has proven a success cannot be doubted by any one who reads the reports of the boards of health In all cities whore- Hyo-mel Is used ; for without a single exception the death rate from consumption alone lu those placces has ben reduced over 30 per cent annually. I1YOA1EI , AND IIYOMKI ONLY. has accomplished this. To bo sure quacks nnd advertising specialists have put Inhalers on the market by the score , yet there Is not ono among them all In which Hymoel Is used , and fifty-nine out ol sixty-one have gone to.the wall within twelve months ; the others arc fast Icslng ground , even with nil their tremendous ndver- Using , Of course this has prevented the universal use of Hyomcl to some extent , and no doubt leads many to Icso their faith In cures by Inhalation ; but every day the public are finding out that through Hyomol alone cures by Inhalation were made pcsslble , and when they have been taught the danger of neglecting colds and catarrh and * how to prevent nnd cure them , the death rate from bronchitis , pneumonia nnd consumption will be reduced to a minimum. LET IT USi DlSTINCl'LV UNDERSTOOD HY ALL that Hyomol Is the only germicide which can be carried In the air we breathe to all parts of the head , throat and lungs. That this Is the only way by which such diseases can bo reached. That coughs , colds , catarrh and consumption can not exist where Hyomcl is used. That Hyomei is guaranteed to cure , or your money refunded if it falls. That every other Inhalation treatment Is alniply a revival of some old method , nnd remedies which have long Klnce been found useless. Ilyomei Is sold by all druggists or sent by mall.
