fcEW YORK , Aug. 10. Emphasis of Uio
moat unmistakable weight In being laid on
that roof nml crswn of things feminine ,
namely , the dressing of halr--nover have
the wleldcrs of hot ton * ! ) , the dealers In
dyes and the designers of graceful coiffeurs
had a busier present or a more cheering
future than thli season. This la because
the first requirement for a fashionable ap
pearance' ' ' 1 ? for a richly , abundant head of
hair , highly colored and curly as' a grape
vine. , , ,
1 There are thee who prophesy , In view
"of'the Increasing height and width of the
modish colffeure , that wo are getting back
'to''tho ' . eighteenth century zone of extrava-
' { Ubco , when women wore as much hair and
'sundry ' other etceteras on their hqads as
would comfortably stuff a mattress for a
double bed.
However that may bo It' Is certain that
wo now have six different types of tongs
* nnd , curling pins In active use. One of
these , by twisting the hair tightly round
n hot cylinder , produces whit Is 'technically ,
.known as a Vandyke ringlet * tU a species
of cMrl that looks qult'o Hko grape tendril ,
nnd , hanging In delicate .clusters over the
'forehead , may well be nominated as a noy-
'city In bangs , though the fringe that very
young ladles affect is a style first copied
, jn London from the always tastefully ar-
rangcd Crosses..of > Emma Eamcs. They are
'failed 'pajmcu'rls.'and ( nro .merely . tho.soft
jiew'halr.that , like the down under n.swnnV
white feathers , Is always springing .bright
nnd new on the well thatched heads of
young people. To roll 'the long hair back ,
having a full curling down softly framing
the nrch of the forehead , Is one. of .tho
prettiest maneuvers a debutante can re-
Bert to.
Matrons are wearing , \vhether they are
.nature's gifts or not , rather Impressive lookIng -
Ing nests of curls that flower out luxurl-
rfntly tn a proriounced point on the brow , and
.np flxcd , rule can be given ns to where the
' *
i'cops and'puffs of hair must be placed. An
empress knot , a stoft twist , Is often pinned
well below the crown point , and is run
through with an ornamental _ pin of dark or
pale green shell , picked ou't in brilliants.
In a majority of Instances women of all
nges prefer to dress their hair very high and
pile ornaments " ' on ' top of .the puffy , curly
' " '
tower. , . ,
'
, The high k'not , for Instance , is a lofty
elg6tshape'd'twist , so deftly p.lante'd'exactly
on the'back of tho'head and braced by a
comb behind , that It rears the full extent of
Its snaky cells high In the air. Not a whit
I less" Imposing is the curl cluster , 'which Is
'by all odds the foremost' achievement of the
( modern hair drosflorTo attain the curl
clysterall-the long hair must have-Its full
extent , turned up in the air on
, top. . > ot , tbe head. Here , it is portioned
tioned out.Jnto fen. . .or.a.dozjen .switches ,
and every -'switch is submitted tea new
curling Iron that Is a hollow cylln-
her. 'A preparation is applied to the surface
qt the tube and on this the switch Is com
pactly wound. When the hair Is adjusted
n h.oviron-isrun ; Into'the " , cylinder , which
'slowly grows very warm" , nnd thli heat ,
acting on the applied preparation , slowly
transforms the stralghtcst hair into a se
ries ot shiny curls , that stand erect with
all the graceful backbone of a tuft of
ostrich feathers. The effect of a dozen of
such curls , grouped In a treasy shower on
top of a.softly onduled head and clasped
at" their baseIn the-rear , by a1 half circle
of brilliants , is a sight to stir * up feminine
envy and emulation.
nBut if the curl cluster numbers Us fol
lowers by the thousand the butterfly bow
knot numbers its retainers by the tens of
thousands. Two soft loops of hair , jutting
to right' a'tul left and made fast to a small
central twist , is the whole _ story of this
gracious , bow , that 'is , however , .only be
coming to the owner of a slender face. Ono
and all these methods of disposing the- hair
are completed with clusters of wholly ar
tificial hairpin curls , that are not ; 'though ,
always affixed to * pins. There is a novel
convb , on the market ' .with. , curls. liberally
, sprp.utlng .from 'eyery tooth , which means ,
li > ; thowny , Is a far surer icno of .holding
the romantic ringlets tn place. '
. , All ' thcsoi species , of colffeure noted.are ot
xsspo'clal'behet.t to the woman who'yearns to
appear as ) divinely tall aa divinely fair , and
to help out the effect she tops her capillary
structure .with' , charming , and wonderful or-
Nnameiits , Artfully , , composed by the skilled
fingers of tho. aitutest milliners. One ot the
most popular and delectable materials' for
these fashionable weather vanes Is diamante
tulle. Silk net , crisp with a dressing and
powdered with a sparkling , dust , is the best
description that can .be given ot this truly
, fiery like stuff. _ _ Matrons who , sit on sofas

wearing , 'largo Jetted-.iValkyrle kings , that
after all , are the prettiest head ornaments
.ccon so far. There is also a class of pretty
women who use huge , black satin Louts

rectly-In-'front'above'their foreheads. The
'basa.bt the bow .rests In a peak jot , curls

Even more Interesting , than this departure
wfrpm the orthodox is a line of bead dressing
followed , at a certain ) watering place , whore
the'young women got in for golf and-yacht

low Empress knots and thrust one splendid
brown mottled eagle feather Into the hal

supposed to bo a 'tribute to the memory o
ITuoun and his people , and as an eagl
feather , of the proper size and adcquat
beauty , .Is. bard to find , the women do no
hesitate to pay good prices for them. Som
of the especially good specimens have thel
heavy whlto spines thickly powdered wit
small brilliants.
The comb has all but dropped from th
trouses'where once It nestled so proudly an
confidingly. The. market is flooded with cc
centric and exaggerated specimens * of th !
useful utensil , though many are distinct !
pretty. On three Ivory teeth are mounte
elaborate black and whlto lace combs , 0

the piece Is an antique , it Is left just so to

ich'er material than simple pique.
Pique Is decldcly atout , alle goods , a ma-

igned to be built up on the simplest lines ,
iut womankind will have it otherwise and
omo of the pique gowns this summer are
worthy , in the richness of their decoration ,

ot the dressmaker's art. .Expensive white
mbroldery and lace appear on many of

This Is all undoubtedly caressing to the
eye , but It Is an unnatural and tasteless'
lerverslon ot material from Its 'true sphere
of usefulness. It would beJust , as reason

The Che'nterflelil Coat.
If , any impatient soul longs for 'a fore
word'about the coat fashlous for the now not
very far distant autumn , let'her open her
ears to a most agreeable saga' concerning
he Chesterfield coat. Let no mistake be
made , this 14 not a jacket , but a * coat with a
decent length of sk'lrt' and" superbly simple
n'cut and makeup. Jackets will continue to
> o undignlfledly 'abbreviated as-to tall , they
will boast a good deal of jaunty and unnec
essary trimming , but the Chesterfldld will
sweep dlmost-to tho'kned. ' Its skirt -will not
)0 very full and in perfection ot state it
will be made of lady's melton or the rich
gaylsh brown fine cloth , over which much
justifiable enthusiasm is felt.
It is said ln' > hlgh places that women are
going to wear as many buttons before long
is the soldier In full dress not brass knobs ,
however , but lovely dinks and ball and tri
angles ot crystal. The foreign makers of
glass have "had a ETrit from Paris which is
official , nnd in Venice and Bohemia they
are preparing < lo earn , fortunes by making
gorgeous buttons to dazzle American eyes
ind empty American pockets. Buttons , they
sr.y , will be prominent on skirts and enwraps
wraps , and beside these crystal wonders , a
fashipn is arising for Japanese bronze ,
Ivory and silver bronze buttons , of the
strangest and most attractive grotesquerle.
When in doubt as to how best to finish
off her toilet at the waist line , every woman
ties about borselt a ribbon sash. Few'
sashes , designed as such. , appear anywhere ,
but the ribbon ragas , so to speak. Chiefly
grenadine anil llmonsluo ribbon , for they
are soft , .lead the way , and a great deal ot
emphasis is laid on the manner in which
you shape your ribbon ends.
A wldo crisp , ribbon sash will _ have its
ends cut in a scries ot five deep tooth-llko
Indentations , while very many women cut
th lr streamers In hatchet shape. A swal
low fork or a bias shear , so long the only
orthodox courses la ribbon clipping , have
been sot aside , and a lightning edge is
what many a sash end boasts. A lightning
edge Is just n series of irregular jags , like
the course of those thunder bolts the active
American eagle grasps , nnd a good many
sashes nro snipped out to resemble a bel
lows point , or carved at their terminus to
convey the Idea of. an Indian arrowhead.
A sash must not , for all this , bo a striking
feature ot a costume.
If there Is anything now under- the sun ,
mackerel cloth Is ono of the materials not
seen beforo. It is exceedingly lovely , with
a scaly weave that reflects opalescent lights ,
very much like the high and soft lights in
a molrcd goods. Woven of linen and , silk
and Just a thread of wool , this Is a fabrio
sure to win popularity. It belongs truly In
the scope of autumn things , for its weight
will make It most serviceable and com
fortable for. crlsper days. With U goes a
pretty mackerel braid , that resembles the
bright side ot the wily flsb , as ho glides
through the cold water.

It can best bo worn with is displayed In the

must also adorn a graciously shaped head ,
but this hint it is only fair to drop that If
a woman lacks sufficient luxuriance of tress
to make out a handsome colffeure It Is the
very best method of unobtrusively utilizing
false hair.

The Ocrmnn empj-ess Is an excellent home-
woman , nnd Is Bald to have a hankering
after the bicycle , hut Oils exercise her lord
and master considers most" undignified for
a woman of her position. As he always
enjoys , however , scolng his empress In
picturesque and becoming tableaux , he has
this summer given her a splendid schooner
yacht , the Idunn. The Id Una Is a swift
and handsome American built boat of about
the same proportions 'as ' the American boat
Yampn. Though splendid enough In' nil Its
fittings when the emperor bought It , he
ordered , with Imperial extravagance , that
its Interior decorations be done anew nnd
In the favorite colors of the empresSt polo
blue and white. On .the decks of her pleas
ure boats 'this ' royal lady Is absolutemis
tress. Her sailors are uniformed In white ,
the shirts barfed with blue bands , while
the empress' private signal , with that of the
Kiel Yacht club , Is embroidered on their
caps and shirt vests.
Whether or no the empress tares for ;
yachting is a question she has never
settled , but * with her usual admirable com
plaisance with all her husband's wishes ,
she Is vigorously studying , under a most ac
complished sailing master , to steer the
yacht nnd to direct the handling of Its
satis. When the annual racesat Kiel were
sailed this summer , the Iduna was ono in
the string ot schooner yachts contesting
for cups or honors , and the empress stood
at' the belm. More than this , . she has taken
actively to the social side of yachting , -gives
dinners and luncheons aboard her boat ,
and ventures out on 'a two days' cruise.
This was scarcely a venture , however , since
two powerful steam tugs followed close In
the Iduna-'s wake In , order to rush in to the
rescue , should 'Neptuno attempt any famil
iarities with German royalty.
WOMAN , THE TRUE ECONOMIST.
MnkcH Much Ont of Little nnd Mnkei
tlmt Inut l.onR.
When Dame Nature apportioned their va
rying characteristics 'to the two sexes , says
the San Francisco .Chronicle , she took pity
upon woman , and to compensate for the
many shining qualities already bestowed
upon , her male companion endowed her with
tho. faculty for making that little last long.
Henpe , throughqut the ages , while man has
been , making a .brilliant record In the chase ,
In battle , In exploration , In science- and let
ters and in statecraft , his companion has
-been , adorned-with-'this-humble ' but valuable
.trait. jUpon whpse. pxerclae not , only the sur-
vlyalp the.Individual , but often the pr.eser-
vatlon , ot the race ' , ' has been , 'made ; to 'de
pend. , ; . , . , ,
. . . Fromthe , very earliest records ; of human-
ftyla tribulatlpns.and , struggles it is evident
that , woman has.always been ; an economist.
The caveman made the needle , but U was
the cave woman who put It to use , made
garments with It and mended old rents
with a great cave patch of 'stout , uhtanned
' '
hide , V'BO .that the fruit of each season's
chase , instead of being .discarded and de
voured t , by the dogs when'skins grow old
and' shabby ) 'were .patiently darned _ and
'
patched until the 'family , began to accumulate
Its w.ardrobe , handed down from ceneratlon
to generation , and , the walls' nnd"floor3"of
humanlt'st primitive abodes began' to 0
covered and' lined wljh warm rug's ; until ,
.with the * growth of comfort and plenty , the
idea of a hQjne.cam'o Into' being , to replace
what had hitherto' been.but a rud shelter
against the elements and ravening beasts
'
or. warring trjbes'of savages. It was the
caye womaii , as we learn from early. In
scriptions in the rude pictorial , histories of
that..day , who first trlpd out the blubber In
tithes o' plenty , yid , seeding .means for its
preservation against days of famine to come ,
hollowed rude vessels to serve . "as recepta
cles for it.
We have no record of . .thetfact , but there
' ' '
can to no dou'b 'iu any irite'lllgent mind ,
that it was the primitive woman , the wife
' and mother , who planted the first seed , and ,
'watering the ground around It , saw It bring
forth a hundred and a thousand fold , and
thus become the mother of. .agriculture. In
truth , the , very earliest .heathen , mythology
gives us a famous goddess , but not a god ,
of agriculture , * while 'ascribing ' to femala
deities most of. the useful arts and handl-
'cralts. Thus wo flnd a goddess of birth
and fertility , a goddess of fruit , a goddess
of licnltli , a goddess of chastity , a Roddcxs
of mechanical art , a goddess of thought ,
heroism and wisdom. The first spinners of
whom wo have any account nro three noted
women of antiquity , who were engaged In
weaving the somewhat tangled web ot hu
man life.
On the other hand , all the male deities
who were held .Jn any sort ot esteem worn
thoso. who personified the more violent and
destructive passions ot the race , and wcro
presumably Idealized semblances of the
heroes , of their age. Thus wo have gods of
war without number , a god of music , who
must needs DOSO also as a god of ven
geance to .preserve his mythological stand
ing ; a god of the sea , who has control of
storms r.nd floods and Is fond of working
fearful retribution upon his subjects ; a god
of the Infernal regions , who was compelled
to kidnap Proserpine In order to secure
a fcmalo companion ; a god ot time , the de
stroyer , who served a shortand unpopular
season as a god of agriculture , and Jupiter ,
the god of gods , who Is always represented
na the embodiment of wrath and the wlcldcr
ot thunderbolts. The only useful male deity
In the lot , Vulcan , worker , ot metals , Js
represented ns uncouth , deformed and re
pulsive.
In our own day and generation , while
man Is still commonly the wage-earner > of
the family , It is the- woman who as a-rule
wisely Invests the proceeds of his toll'who
procure * the most for the least money , and 1
watches every avenue of waste and loss : I
It Is true that there arc extravagant and
wasteful women , just as thcro are indolent i
and useless men , but the rule still holds i
good that the man earns 'the wherewithal
for the family's support and that the wo
man , with a wise discretion , controls Its ex
penditure and Investment , Just as Jn yo
olden tlmo the cave woman sewed skins and
hollowed stone utensils , and the Esquimau
woman today sits by her hearth and 'pa '
tiently chews hide that it may become soft
and tillable , while her lord and master
tracks the polar bear or harpoons Ino val-
rus amid broken ice. And the ono part
is JUst as essential to the prosperity nnd
the comfort of the race as the other. The
California woman who in her sunny sewing
room contrives to cut a child's garment
out of the smallest possible pattern ot cloth
or. to fashion It out ot her own tidy Uttle
kitchen dispenses with servant's hire or
who comes home footsore from an oxteuclvc
round of marketing wherein she lias consci
entiously endeavored to make eaun. penny
do the duty of two , Is doubling the value
of a husband's wages and deserves to bo
considered on an equal plane with the pro
ducer.
During the socialistic excitement of the
last year a band of 'hotheaded ' agitators pro
posed that the farmers throughout an Im
portant agricultural region should bind
tt.emselves for a term of years to produce
nothing beyond what was absolutely es
sential for their own tables and thus ex
pound , on a limited scale and In a circum
scribed district , the value of the farmer and
the'results to civilization if he were to boy
cott the world's markets. Viewing the rtod-
est and'so often unappreciated efforts of the
patlont housewives , who are throughout the
land faithfully performing their monotonous
round of duty within the narrow limits .of
their own homes , who ask and receive no
compensation beyond their shelter , their
dally bread and a scant wardrobe , who brxve
no voice In the administration of society ,
and often but little authority In tholr own
homo circle , ono is 'temsted to speculate
upon the possible salutary result could the
housewives of 'the country be for . season
retired from their field of activity and
thoughtless husbands , by means of'sad ux-
perlenco , be taugh't their true utility in the
scheme ot civilization.
SPAIN'S JENKTE D'ARO.
Bnrlta'i Courage Displayed
lu Fierce Battle.
Women were tender , pitiful and mild
long before tha days of the Red Cross and
Its -congeners. Witness the women of Zar-
agossa. Headed by the heroine , Countess
Burlta , they formed themselves In compa
nies , ! to attend upon the hospitals , to carry
ammunition to the combatants and supply
them with food and drink. Throughout the
.two months' siege of the city one of the
savagest recorded in all history they never
blanched or quailed. Contrarywlse , when' It
came to . .hnnd to hand and house to bouse
fighting , .tho companies of women and young
boys showed themselves no mean allies.
The people gave up everything , their
goods , their houses , their lives , not only
cheerfully , but exultantly. The soldiers
could do nothing but fight to the death
the man' who ran was at once hangec
higher than Hatnaoh. Precious few though
.of. running away. Zaragossa' Is the capita
city of Arragon , and the Arragonese are
for Spaniards , a grave , quiet , almost puri-
.tanlc race , grim and dour fighters , ' espe
cially 'when they' fight 'for their own.
Notwithstanding , the siege' began to go
against them. The French cell 'tlghtenec
day by day. At one especially exposed
point , known as La Portlllo , the Spaniards
had placed a heavy battery. The French
concentrated upon It the fire ot a hundred
guns , meaning as soon as it was silenced to
rush In and seize a' key to the Spanish
position. They almost * succeeded. Every
Spanish gunner lay dead or disabled beside
his piece when Augustine Zaragossa came
to her city's help.
She was a woman of the people , young
attd big 'and handsome. It is said she had
pa lover among the artillerymen. However
'
'that''may have been * she came to the bat
tery laden with 'food and drink. Catching
a-'blazlng linstock from a dying hand she
discharged 'the 'guns that would else have
remained silent. Thus the French attack
was held back until other gunners could
come. Her exploit was eo nearly a miracle
that the whole defense took heart from it.
There had been aomo talk of surrender-
there bad been even discussion of the
terms. Now all that came to .an end at
least for a while. But when It was re
newed and growing stronger than over the
unexpected , the unbelievable almost , came
to pass. The French raised the siege and
inarched away tradition avouches , because
their soldiers had grown mutinous over the
hopeless task of conquering wbero even the
women were1 warriors. Whether or no that
Is true. U Is beyond dispute that Augus
tine's exploit marked the turn of the tide.
She was luckier ( ban her great prototype ,

given the rank of sub-lieutenant and a peu-

bo based upon u remarkable mimhur of suc
cesses , that thla remedy Is peculiarly n wpn-
clllc for women. The unfortunate fact Is
that nearly all women have more or loss
pain , sickness nnd misery the greater part
of their lives.
They have tried dozens of remedies but tin
not got well. Kor some reason the doctors
lo not cither grasp the situation or else
Imvon't the right remedies , but In cither
event the sufferer has those periodic spells
of pain , headache , weiirlnoss , leucorrlm < > a ,
backache , and other evidence of u congested
or distorted ) womb.
For these reasons Hazcltno Is sent abso
lutely free. The s'ck ' woman can try It nnd
know beyond question or doubt whether or
not it Is polnir to euro her before she spends
a penny for it. In case it relieves ns It al
ways has done , then she Is encouraged to
Keep It up until every trace of. disease has
vanished.
It Is a wonderful event Jn a woman's life-
when she suddenly feels ihnt all her sick
ness , doubt , misery , anxiety , nervousness ,
conllnmont to bed , pain ami despair have
r > een conquered. And since this Is the result
lhat Hazcllnc brings about It is Important
that every woman make herself acquainted
with a remedy that can brliiK so much hap-
lilnfss.lntp.a .woman's life. And when it is
