" qulslte feather hats and mu(T
will make me fall into temptation."
The feathered creations which the Im
porters and milliners are showing are cer
tainly tempting. The beholder Is inclined to
forest how many breasts are required to
make them, and can only exclaim at the
beauty of color shading and the richness of
effect. 'Hats of every shape and size ara
entirely made of feathers, soft, glwsy and
shading imperceptibly from t no color to an
other. The muffs to match are quite as
beautiful.
Feather hats are one of the few d s
tinclly new things which the season has
brought forth. "We have hud them other
years," may be objected, liut not like
these. "Tlie will not be du:able." Heiuty
Is always evanescent, and the feather hat
will robably outlast its sister creations of
Chiffon.
A Krenchy pale blue and black feather
hat has a low crown of alternate bands of
the blue and black feathers, the shades
melting into one another. The same ef
fect is repeated on the flat moderately wide
brim, but it is faced with black feathers.
The hut Is intended to be worn will back
from the face, and fit snugly over the hair
In the back. On either Fide under the br.m
at the back are soft pomions of pale blue
feathers.
The mult which matches the creation is
more moderately sized than some of the
huge fur pouches which fashion has de
creed correct. The muff part proper, of
the shade of blue and black, Is indeed
small. Hut an effect of greater size is
given by the wide feather rulllci or flounces
which edge it. These are solid black
feathers.
Another feather hat is built In a toque
shape, and the shadings run from white to
slate. 11 is trimmed with a while bird with
a, fierce beak, which is pressed against the
Household Remedies for the Medicine
HE up-to-date architect when
planning a bathroom Is almost
sure to make room for a medicine
closet. It Is high enough to be out
of reach of childish hands, but
low enough to be accessible to the busy
housewife.
In these days of telephones the medicine
closet may seem a superfluity, but experi
ence tenches every mother that a judicious
use of its contents may obviate too fre
quent calls for the doctor, and furnish the
ounce of prevention which Is worth a pound
of cure.
If there are children In the house do not,
on any account, fail to have on hand a
bottle of syrup or wine of ipecac. When
symptoms of croup are apparent, give tho
child toaspour.fu! or half-teaspoonful doses
of Ipecac, according to its age, until vomit
ing Is Induced, and breathing Is no longer
dltlicult.
A bottle of camphor, well corked, will be
found useful for many purposes. A head
ache is relieved by bathing; the forehead
with camphor. Toothache will yield to a
hit of cotton saturated with it, and pimples
and blackheads will disappear If the af
fected parts are frequently bathed with this
remedy.
Alcohol is useful for bathing parts af
fected by neuralgia or rheumatism, and
arnica Is comforting for bruises, sprains
and lumps of all aorta.
Pure turpentine should be kept on hand
for cuts and scratches, and all sorts of in
Fascinating
fJAPS are coming Into vogue again.
I M I The average woman will take
I J that statement with a grain of
suit If f he believes that any mod
ern mntion Is going to adopt a bit
of muslin and lace for a heud covering, no
matter how becoming it may be, to denote
that her frivolous days ore over and that
she is settling down to domestic affairs.
Hut she need have no fear. The modern
cap Is thoroughly up-to-date. It Is so en
tirely modern that it Is called a cap by
concession only and is really a drapery of
lace for the head.
A New York woman who Is ron-idcred
one of the best dressed In the city is never
seen In the morning without this little
drapery of lace for the head. Pho Is noted
for a soft flowing stylo of costume. Her
morning robes are dainty affairs of silk
and lace falling In soft lines, and the pretty
lace scarf, which she always throws on
over her head, nnd, upon occasions, ties
loosely under her chin. Is wonderfully be
coming. The woman of today lives In a strenuous
lif.i even if she has less to do with domestic
affairs than her prede-ssors. She has a late
dinner and later entertainments following.
In the morning she is wmry. She takes
her mils and coffee In her own room, her
Imlr is lightly pinned up over her head he
fore It is finally dressed for the day, and
he finds a bit of lace to throw over It a
convenience. Its aofinesB is very becoming,
EE
rolling brim on the left f-lde.
This hat Is illustrative of the use of birds
In milliner)' this winter. The birds are all
pressed flatly to the hat, so, as in tbe cast
of the feather hats, they seem to be built
into the hat foundation. Often a single
flat bird, with outstretched wings, covers
the entire crown, but care must be taken
that the tips of the wings do not protrude
beyond the brim edge and thus mar tha
symmetry of the shape. This Is one of the
season's unwritten laws.
A hat of shirred panne, velvet has the
entire flat crown thus covered hy a. white
owl. Another hat of pale preen chenille has
a flight of tiny white birds flattened In
crescent shape across the crown.
Ostrich feathers have more than their
usual popularity. The shaded plumes of
the summer hats are more than rivaled by
the winter creations. The color schemes
have grown more daring. Fancy a hat
of turquoise blue panne vlvet, whose trim
ming is a huge ostrich feather which shades
from o golden yellow through blue to green.
On a white hat the plumo shades from
flame color to a deep cream.
A hat worn by a theatrical star which
has caused much comment has for its only
trimming a white ostrich feather which en
circles the hat and then hangs down the
back an Incredible number of inches.
Her example would be followed by many
women this fall. If they could find Just such
another feather. There is indeed a the
atrical tone about much of the early winter
millinery, though many of the more ex
treme models will undoubtedly be dropped
as the .season advances.
In addition to the long plumes, small
ostrich tips have wide vogue. They are al
ways dainty, even If they fall to give the
startling effects which sum women de
mand. They often encircle the crown as
with a soft shaded frill. A pure wliite hat
of chenille has a fringe of tiny white
ostrich tips edging the brim. Tin si tips
furnish a soft background for the face.
A black velvet hat, which is in one. of
juries when the flesh is torn. Before doing
up the wound in gauze pour on a little tur
pentine, and It will heal much more rapidly.
A package of ordinary cooking soda
(saleratus) should find a place In the medi
cine closet, for many are the uses to which
It can be put. A handful placed in the hot
water In which the feet are bathed will do
much to relieve tired or blistered and ach
ing feet. A teaspoonful in half a glass of
cold wuter will relieve a sick stomach nnd
a little of the soda, used Instead of tooth
powder, will keep the teeth free from tar
tar and beautifully white. Kvery trace of
the soda should be well rinsed off the teeth
each time It is used. A generous handful
of soda in the bath tub will remove the
odor of perspiration besides strengthening
nnd toning the system. It will also remove
blackheads, if the parts affected are first
moistened and then covered with as much
of the soda ns will stick. Leave It on the
face until the skin 1m gins to smart and
then remove by gently bathing the face
with warm water and drying It with a bit
of soft old linen.
A pinch of soda will often relieve tooth
ache, and when applied to the sting or bite
of an Insect will allay the pain or Itching;
and heal the slight wound.
When glycerine Is used for chapjied hands
end lips be sure to dilute It before applying;,
especially for the tender skin of a child.
Clear glycerine Is much too harsh for most
skins and proves Injurious rather than
healing. If there is no rose water at hand
ordinary soft water will answer the pur
Caps for Matronly Heads
and it lightens the tired lines around her
eyes.
If she spends the morning In her room
writing letters and looking over family ac
counts she still wears the bit of lace on her
head. Her Intimate friends, whom she thus
receives, finds her never more attractive
than in this morning ecstume.
A soft head covering of white is so be
coming that it is unfortunate that Amer
ican women do not follow the example of
the Knglish women and wear them more
often In public. There Is nothing prettier
or more becoming than the Knglish widow's
cap. A melon-shaped cap of white lisse and
tulle has a Marie Stuart style and Is ef
fective. The center Is puffed and pointed
front and back with soft folds on the out
side. A veil of the white, gathered In close
where 11 Joins the cap and flowing out soft
and full well below the waist, is delight
fully graceful. The h;'ir pulTs out in front
In something of tin- pompadour effect on
either side of the point of tbe cap In front.
With the white bauds at neck and wrists,
contrasting wilh the heavy hands of crape
on the gown, it makes a Iteautiful house
costume.
Older women In Kngland al.'o wear rips
of lace and ribbon and they are being worn
to some extent here. There is occa onally
a woman who believes in the dignity and
grace of years, and for her Uie milliner
prepares an old ladies' cap. They cun even
Dress Hats
the season's new shtpes, has a rattier
high straight crown. The brim on tho
right side Is flat and narrow, but at the
left It widens suddenly so as to turn up
In a griat roll. The edge of the brim Is
finished by folds of black satin, and the
high crown Is encircled by a band of wide
black velvet ribbon tied in many loops
under the turned tip brim. nut the main
trimming of the hnt Is a cascade of small
bhick ostrich plumes which Is held In place
by the turned up brim. It starts from
the edge of the crown In front and ex
tends over the hair In the back. As many
as eight short plumes are used.
These feather cascades are a great fea
ture in winter millinery. They are
especially pretty in shaded plumes.
"What will be the correct thing for
theater wear this winter?" demanded one
perplexed shopper, bcwilderc-d by the mul
tiplicity of styles, which had been pre
sented for her selection.
"It will lie easier to say what you must
not wear," said the milliner. "The hat
which is worn over the eyes will not be
correct for theater wear. Hut any of
these," and she pointed to the dazzling
array spread out on tables and chairs.
It is not only that the color effects of
the season arc startling, but also the
shapes. There are hats oval, diamond
shaped and pointed. lists with lofty
crowns and with crowns like shallow ba
sins, the renaissance of our grandmothers'
styles, nnd the Inventions of daring minds.
They will nil le worn, some by the
many, some by the few.
As to fabrics, velvet and chenille vie
for supremacy with the long-haired felts.
The fells are about routed in the Held of
dress hats. Tbe velvets, especially the
panne velvets, afford such opportunities
for Intricacies of treatment that tho
French milliners cannot reslHt them. Nor
ran Americans who follow the dictates of
tho French milliner.
So there are velvet hats pleated, shirred,
folded Hnd niched In marvelous fashions.
It is because the hat itself is a thing of
pose, and equal quantities of glycerine and
water should bo used.
During cold weather, and, indeed, at any
season, one should never wash the face
with soap and water Just before going; out.
If the face Is really soiled, rub it all over
thoroughly with cold cream, and then re
move the cream with a soft cloth. Keep a
jar of the best cold cream at hand all the
year around. At the first appearance of a
cold sore apply cold cream, renewing the
application from time to time till the cold
sore disappears.
A bottle of crude vaseline that la the
plain, unsocnted kind will be found efllca
clous when the children have a severe
cold. Internal doses of the vnae.llne, taken
with sugar, will often prevent the. develop
ment of a case of croup, nnd both vaseline
and glycerine, in teaspoonful doses, will
heal a sure throat.
Camphorated oil is useful for rubbing
the chest and neck In case of a severe cold.
A square of flannel, spread with the oil,
should be worn over the client when tho
patient In recovering from a severe aoro
throat.
While ordinary sweet oil mixed with tur
pentine Is excellent for burns. It is well to
keep a bottle of collodion at hand. Thla
seems to relieve the small burns, which
make a child and even an adult so very
nervous, more quickly than anything else.
Relief U the important thing for these
small burns, and the collodion forms a coat
ing over the skin which effectually shuts
out all air. K?ep tho collodion In a dark
be found ready-made in tho shops. Theso
are of pretty lace made In tho form of
a jabot, with loops of ribbon set on one
side Into the folds of the luce.
Tho sweeping cop has also undergone a
transformation. The old-fashioned sweep
ing cap, made of a sphere of cambric drawn
up close around the edge, still remains,
but a pretty gii or young woman who has
housework to do makes u dainty and be
coming cap of a colored bordered hindker
chi f. This may be large or small, accord
ing to the degree of service it Is supposed
to perform.
To make a teal head covering n large
fancy handkerchief, such as may I e bought
for from 5 cents up, is used. This is lirst
plaited in close along one side, to lit into
the nock and to form the lower part of
the cap. Next, the Bid! opposite Is taken
and the two corners brought together and
the halves sewe-d overhand, a point being
formed where they meet In the center. A
little pleat is lak-n in the center of the
handk. ichli f and the point tacked to this.
The effect now Is hood-lik". and it only re
mains to lit tho cap. This Is done by mak
ing litlle peats around the sldnw and there
is a pretty und becoming cap.
A smaller handkerchief may be used.
One of a solid color lawn, pnk or blue or
lavender, hire edged, is pretty. The top
side of this should not have the edge
sewed quite to the corners, and theae aia

A hat of shirred while velvet has a high

lice hats and hats npplhjued with l.ice
will be largely worn, although they i-eetii
an echo of summer glories. They are built
In new shapes, however, and so lire robbed
of monotony. Many of the luce hats liavn

velvet or chenille. lila k and white an

sults. , A white tare hat whose brim rolls off the
face has lace appliques ss well us laco

by a two-inch band or black velvet. Tho
underhrim lace uppliipics extend out over
this. Almost the entire crown and upper
brim are covered by a cluster of snowy
ostrich plumes of graduated hnglh. Tho-w
pass across from right to hit and curl
gracefully over the brim on the left side.
Another lace upp'.luuo hut lias a sharply
rolling brim of black chenille. An Inch
band of white panne velvet Is inset a half
inch from the edge. Over this is laid the
lace applique, which extends paitly over
the while velvet and partly over the black
Chenille. The same effect is repiatcd
on the crown. The hat is raised by a wide
bandeau on the left side, un.l a black
ostrich plume droops over the hair.
