For and About Women Folks
The Month of Drlries.
"J"ADIANT June, the month of
rosps, rate days and bird songs,
conies with her arms nild with
."J flower, bringing with her the
' 1 ' sweet girl graduate and tbe llve-
llrt.1 bride of all-she of the month of June,
exclaim rapturous writer In the Fll
grlm. When all the world la doluged with sum
mer and when nature la displaying moat
lavishly her rare charms, It would aeem
that the June bride ahould choose without
limitation a sylvan wedding. we can
fancy her and him standing beneath a
blossom-laden tree with Its promise of
future "irultfulness. their white-shod feet
pressing a carpet of green grass and but
tercups, cowslips and daisies, their cathe
dral the Oothlo architecture of arching
boughs, their dome the heavens themselves,
and la place of the organ's boom the
voices of full-throated birds bursting with
bridal song. And the dear little bride h'T
elf In simple white, with flower filled arms
and blossom deck hat, her only veil the
tree's green shadow with Its filtering sun
shlno falling about her lovely head.
A real June wedding this, a fitting tem
ple for the pledging of the marriage vows,
and oh, so romantic and artistic! But,
sad to say, the average bride cf the city
aspires to the thronged church, the wed
ding guests, the wedding breakfast, and a
gown, a creation fit to sweep the velvet
carpeted aisles of the city's most holy
temple.
Indeed, aha may be so desirous of a
ducbesse satin gown of court style that
she wilt forget the month and the probable
state of the weather. Hut If ahe la wise
he will have a gown of sheer lawn, ex
quisitely embroidered In a French pattern
and hung In soft folds over a lightweight
Ilk. This season she will probably want
the gown princess In cut, the panel embroi
dered front running uncrossed from collar
to hem and flanked by web-llke laces, em
broideries and tucks. About her feet the
white, foaming Into graceful billows, will
form a train of medium length.
Her sleeves of elbow length should be
met by long gloves, embroidered In the
same dainty pattern that decks her gown,
her white stockings of silk or lisle must
be embroidered, her lingerie must be em
broidered, her golng-away blouse of white
linen, embroidered, too, and even the backs
of her street gloves should bear a hand
worked design.
beyond a doubt the maid of honor and
all the bridesmaids, flower girls and even
the pages, not to mention the guests of
honor, will want to be embroidered also,
for the bee of art needlework butzeth In
every feminine head. This, however, would
be entirely too much of a good thing, and
delicacy in taste will surely prevent such
wholesale fadlsm.
The duties of the maid of honor are not
numerous. During the ceremony she takes
the bride's bouquet at the time for the
giving of the ring, hands the flowers to
th,e first bridesmaid, removes the bride's
glove and porta her veil. This done she
again takes the bouquet and koeps it until
th bride's band is released.
But ail this is for the girl with money,,
while the sweetest of brides may be she'
whose own hands have earned all that she
has to make a festal wedding day. She

may have to work until so nrar her mar
riage that she cannot embroider her own
gown, and if that be so she need not feel
that she is not as modern and fashionable
In her wedding frock as the mlllloned girl
who has but to order whst she desires.
Indeed, the unembroldered may be haprf
In the knowledge that she Is at least unique.
It Is a greater pleasure to pen sugges
tions to this bride than to the other, for
half the joy of living is In the art of mak
ing much of little, and there Is no doubt
but that the bridal dress which costs but
K will be as fitting a garment as the one
that cost $6,000.
There Is a dainty sheer quality of white
Swls that since the days of our grand
mothers has served to glorify June brides.
A flurTy gown of this, trimmed with val
lace, dainty and washable, at a shilling a
yard, will be appropriate and serviceable,
and will form a best summer gown for
three seasons. Use tucks, with lace and
elbow sleeves, made by a dressmaker the
gown would cost about StO; long silk gloves
and white kid slippers may be had for ft. 60
a pair each, lisle stockings of drawn work
or embroidery cost 60 cents a pair, and
with this costume, a bouquet of white
sweet peas, for which the groom pays, will
make any girl aa fresh and lovely as a June
rose.
And the wedding Itself need not cost
much. The supper may be but a glass of
delicious lemonade and a dainty wafer,
a dish of fruit Ice and bride cake, or a
supper which may be either simple or elabo
rate. ,
Tbe Tnlleg Wmsaa,
President Hyde of Bowdoln college has
embodied In a book Just published the sub
stance cf lectures which he has given on
the subject of college men and women, and
especially the women part of it Is interest
ing, lie thinks that It Is possible for a
college womnn to be happy If she will go
Into the world forgetting that she is dif
ferent from other women and not try to
bring the world to her.
"You college women," he says, "have
something that the world has not. Forget
It. Think of the farmer, the mechanic, the
clerk as your brothers; the seamstress, the
shop girl, the factory hand, as your sinters;
respect and reverence their contribution to
the world as your own; look forward to the
time when, after veers of apprenticeship
to real life, you may do your little part
with something of the patient, modest,
cheerful unpretentiousness and genuineness
with which they are doing theirs."
President Hyde seems to think that most
college women graduate with a feeling of
superiority over their less fortunate sisters.
They do not aspire to the common every
day duties well fulfilled of life. They would
shine down if possible upon the lesser
world with the light of literature, of music,
of art, or, falling that, they would aid less
fortunate mortals in the gentle ministry
of the social settlement or the charity
organisation. - These college women would
' have nothing to do with common, homely
Interests, or take up their burdens among
the workers of the world. "You must bear
on your backs your share of the world
burden," he admonishes them, "and feel
In your heart your part in the world-sorrow,
In normal experiences within the home,
the shop, the market, before you have the
slightest possibility of being able profitably
to shine down upon it from above with
artistic radiance or social reformation. All
persons tainted with the disease of aris
tocracy, whether of birth, wealth, beauty,
skill or education, are bound to be bitter
at heart, lonely and unhappy."
She Signed, All fUh.
Wearing a pink frock and a hat with a
pink bird of paradise feather slanted among ,
the roses, a young person entered the post
office and went to the cashier of the money
order section. "I've an order from my
husband," she cooed to the functionary.
After proving her Identity by means of
letters and cards she searched her chate
laine bag for the order. She pulled out
samples of hairpins and various other
articles and for ten minutes she held up a
line of persons, who viewed the proceedings
with various shades of annoyance and
anger. At last she discovered the order
and handed it airily over. "You'll have to
sign it, you know," was the Information .
given to her. Thereupon she took the pen
and wrote, "Your Loving Wife, Alice."
Rooms That Express Indlvidaallty.
Time, thought and money may all have
been spent on the room and yet it may
possess no Individual touch. It is an
immense undertaking to decorate and
furnish a room successfully and In such a
manner that it is practical, artistic and
livable.
The treatment of the walls, the finish
of the woodwork, the selection of rugs,
drapery and furniture, all combine to make
or mar the successful room.
Harmony, color and balance are the
fundamental principles in successful fur
nishing, and yet if they are not properly
understood there is something wanting.
It is comparatively seldom that one enters
a room that Is entirely satisfying. This
Is not as it should be, as there are plenty
of beautiful things to select from if only
we possess the Judgment to combine and
distribute them suitably.
An effective library Is one In which the
walls are treated with paint, not brushed
on by a painter, but, giving the feeling
of deep vater, the brush having been
used horizontally instead of perpendicu
larly. The colors of the wall are composed of
green, purple- and silver gray, so deftly
blended that it has a peculiar quality '
of depth a bo 14 It that Is absolutely charm
ing. The woodwork Is stained a soft,
dull brown, with a wax finish, and a heavy
molding Is carried round the room level
with the tops of the doors arid windows,
which are very high for the proportion
of the room. The celling Is cream and the
background of the frit is Is a warm color,
in which a decorative flower motif has
been stenciled.
The furniture la of mission style, the
chairs and sofa having gray-green leather
cushions. The piano is also of the same
construction and has the same soft dull
finish as the rest of the woodwork in the
room. The floor Is covered with prairie
grass matting, over which a few hand
woven rugs are thrown, repeating the
tones of the wall. Above the doors and
windows are straight slats of wood simu
lating the backs of the chairs that are
used in the room. This entirely does away
with the too apparent height of the room.
Green denim curtains shot with red are
hung at the windows, while a hand-woven
portiere of browns, purples and greens
again accent the colors of the wall.
There Is no useless bric-a-brac In this
room, a few large pieces of pottery repeat
the notes cf color, while Japanese pictures
on the wall add the' brightening touch
needed. The mantelpiece was made and
designed by the owner, and Its lines are
excellent. It completely covers over an
abnomlnabls marble mantelpiece of ornate
French design. The room contains nothing
costly or luxurious, but the feeling of per
fect harmony and repose that comes over
one when being In the room Is the surest
tribute to Its success and Individuality.
Her la aa attractive treatment of a small
reception room opening out of aa adjoining
library. Tbe bay window contains a win
dow seat with cushions of gray-green-blue,
wtille cream cashmere curtains hang
straight across the windows, subduing tke
glnre thst comes from a large expnnse of
glass. One pair of Inner curtains outlined
the set of windows. The ground was cream
with a Persian design of pale blue and old
rose, almost entirely covering the ground
work. A little drapery was used as a val
ance and carried the eye successfully to the
outline of the window.
The walls were covered with corn color
Japanese grass cloth, while all the wood
work and the furniture of the room was
dull black. The most beautiful thing In
the room was the frtese of trunks of trees
painted in such decorative manner that
It was merely suggestive and gave the ef
fect of distance and charm, that Is alto
gether indescribable.
Prefeaslaa to Aid Shoppers.
A new profession, with msmy special
branches, all particularly adapted to
women, has arisen gradually and quietly
until now it occupies a highly Important
relation to all trades that have to do with
house furnishing and women's attire. Call
It "consultant," and you have a name
that fits without clearly defining the pro
fession. Its aim Is to ssslst those women who
are not remarkably gifted In decorative
taste In selecting their furniture, wall
paper, garments, etc. It follows, therefore,
that every branch of the general consulting
profession requires a specialist. '
There Is, for example, the consultant
hairdresser, who can toll to a nicety the
style of coiffure which will suit her client.
A man milliner is to- be found who trims
hats on the heads of his fair customers
to Insure that every knot of ribbon or
bunch of flowers shall be becomingly
placed. "We And our woman adviser In
dispensable," the manager of a furnishing
house said recently. "If a customer ap
pears to have no clear Ideas of her own,
the consultant Is summoned, and not only
advises but proves an admirable overseer
during the decorative operations. The old
mistake of paper and paint which tone In
the band, but clash hopelessly when on
the wall, Is never to be foupd now."
A consultant dressmaker said: "I have
studied artistic dress in Paris and Vienna.
I have on my books the names of dress
makers, milliners, glovers, bootmakers
and firms where materials can be pur
chased to suit all purses.
"A client who distrusts her Ideas, if
she has any, , calls on me for a wedding
outfit. She pays me a fee for consulta
tion, and for that sum I design, order
and arrange fittings to suit her.
"T first study my customer from every
point of view In my studio, where sun
blinds are arranged to give various ef
fects of light and shade. A woman artist
I employ then makes a rough sketch of
my client and the client Is free to de
part. In a couple of days she receives a
sketch of her toilette, the names of
dressmaker, milliner and glover, and ar
rangements for fitting appointments. The
toilette, when completed. Is sent to my
studio, where my client has a dress re
hearsal. Only one woman In 100 dresses ,
her hair to suit her face. My methods
are wearisome, but the result achieved
compensates for all the trouble.
"My client is placed In a chair before
a three-sided mirror, while I study her
features and the shape of her head. I
then drees the hair in different styles un
til one which gives absolute satisfaction
Is discovered. A block, on which a wig
has been placed, is then brought In and
the woman Is taught the manner In which
her particular style Is dressed. Half an
hour's tuition Is generally sufficient.
"As you will perceive, I am no devotee
to fashion. I teach my clients to ar
range their hair In the fashion which suits
them, not necessarily In the style that
happens to be in vogue."

For the summer girl, gowned In white,
says the Jewelers' Weekly, Is an exquisite
little watch of finest white enamel, with
chatelaine pin to match, and both are
beautifully ornamented with overlaying
gold filigree.
Nothing prettier has been shown in the
line of women's watches for some time than
the new style that has a chain to match the
watch attached. A charming little model,
with richly chased case of yellow gold. Is
set with diamonds. The long chain Is com
posed of slender, fancy beads of yellow
gold about half an inch in length, alter
nating with diamonds.
New parasol mountings, In a case, con
sist of a twisted tortoise shell handle with
loop end, points and extension top to
match.
Somo new fans in the soft pastel shades
of blue, pink and red, now so popular In
the smartest costumes, are rendered par
ticularly attractive by well chosen treat
ment. The mounts are of silk, sometimes
inset with gold gauze and decorated with
pretty, conventional designs running on a
line with the sticks. Tbe sandalwood
frames are beautifully treated with a
pattern of gold. Both gold and silver
spangles are used on the mounts for me
dium priced fans.
A blue fan Is rather taking, embroidered
In gold thread In a design suggestive of
Japanese art. A black fan has a floral
design carried out In applique of white
lace braid with white pearl sticks.
A new ring recently seen simulates a
small diamond bow with one large loop
on top In the center of which is a fine
diamond.
In a bracelet noticeable for the unique
effect of contrast, very loose and beauti
ful squares of gold filigree alternate with
open squares set with gems.
As a novelty in sleeve links some open
figures, such as ovals, diamonds, squares
and ovals elongated to a point, are shown
in gold corded effects, with a single dia
mond In the center.
A White Hoase Mistress.

dents. Her hair is snowy, soft and silky,
and worn with loose curls over her ears.
Her manner Is that of the cultured gentle
woman, and there Is an atmosphere of
areat dlanlty always about her. Bhe has
many friends from the years of her past
social triumphs, and they are all attentive
to her. Her room In the Louise house is
usually fragrant with fresh flowers. But
with all these attentions It Is a lonely
life.
The Louise Home is a large, roomy In
stitution filled with southern ladles of
gentle birth and culture. There are beau
tiful grounds, well cared for, and It Is
situated in the heart of the fashionable
part of the city. It Is not a charitable
Institution, for each woman must pay for
her board and room. The charge is mod
est, as the institution was handsomely en
dowed by the founder, the late philanthro
pist, W. W. Corcoran, who gave It In
memory of his daughter Louise, who died
in her youth. The grounds and house are
well cared for, and It Is a mart Attractive
place. I There is, to be sure, an absence
of childish footsteps and prattle. All the
boarders in this big house are between
the ages of 60 and 90, and they know the
loneliness of sdvanced age and reduced
circumstances.
Mrs. Spniple in her youth was her
father's constant companion. Bhe was a
good musician and was the life and spirit
of his household. She was gay and loving
and beautiful. She played for him In his
leisure momenta and sang him to, sleep
when he was tired. His favorite aoag was
an old-fashioned one called "Rome." the
words of which she now repeats to herself
every day. In fai.cy recalling the many
times her father listened to them with de
light. At the age of 1 she became the
wife of Mr. Semple. When the death of
William Henry Harrison mads Tyler presi
dent he brought a large and interesting
family to the Whits House. Mrs. Tyler
was an Invalid and could never discharge
the duties as mistress of the White House.
During the first few months of Tyler's ad
ministration Mrs. Robert Tyler, wife of a
son of the president, acted as his hostess,
while the president's beloved daughter,
Letltla, remained at their Virginia home
with her mother. Some months later Mrs.
Tyler made the trip to Washington, ac
companied by her danghter, now Mrs.
Bemple, but succumbed to her malady very
shortly afterward and was burled from
the White House, of which she had never
been able to assume the duties of mis
tress.
After the death of her mother Mrs. Bem
ple assumed the duties of mistress of the
White House, which she discharged with
grace and tact until her father's second
marriage only a few months before bis
term of offloe expired.
Leaves Frea Faakloa's Notebook.
Parasols, whether they match costumes
or not, are things of beauty this year.
Scotch slippers In bright plaids, with little
silk poiipona and with soft leather soles,
are the latest In the collections of boudoir
slippers.
Veiling gowns, which are so tremendously
In favor this summer, have silk walnts and
jackets, as have also the batiste and chiffon
gowns. .
There have not been so many rum ad
gowns since the early '7", when narrow
rufflos were made to fairly cover the
gowns. The ruffles nowadnys are used with
more reserve.
ivwe)d pin svts will please the women
o dues nut like to make LuUoaholes.
These sets include four pins, one large and
three small, each containing a large stone
In amethyst, emerald or turquoise effect.
Bridesmaids' gowns for the June wed
dings are almost without exception on the
picturesque order, and this season the
bridesmaids have a wonderful opportunity
to be becomingly gowned, aa the
picturesque models have much that Is at
tractive about ther.
Linen and pique walking gowns are very
much in evidence, now that warm weathur
seems to have arrived In earnest. Pique
In white and colors, the eternal blue and
pink again, will be much worn. These
gowns are, ss usual, very much trimmed,
and the jackets and boleros are often
masses of lace and embroidery. One won
ders how they are to be laundered.
The veil occupies such an important
flace In the well dressed woman's toilette
hat the demand for new ideas Is constant.
At present the brown lace veil is promi
nent. Kirst we had the bandeau of brown
tulle, no matter what the shade of the
hat, and now we behold the brown lace
veil worn over blue, green or even white
hats. This veil Is worn loosely, but is
never drawn back over the hat like a chit
fun veil.
Very little change Is, as a rule, to be
seen in the matter of shoes, but this sea
son promises to be a momentous one where
footgear is concerned. The erase at present
for evening shoes of Irish laoe mounted
over pale-colored satin is one of the chief
features of the Season, the heels being car
ried out In colors to correspond with the
linings, while solitaire paste buttons take
the place of bows. Brocade slippers for
boudoir wear carried out in the richest
brocade in old French patterns represent
another fancy of La Mode's at present, and
these, in lieu of the single button, have
Immense Jeweled or mother-of-pearl buck
les surrounded with loops of pale-colored
velvet like the petals of a sunflower.

are la the small of the back. The
bladder and urinary tubes get swollen,
crowding the delicate female organs

Sick headaches, dlxzr spells, nerv
ousness, Irritability, neuralgic and
rheumatic pains, weak eyes, palpitation
ot the heart,- etc.. are caused by the
retention in the blood of poisons that
the kidneys should filter out and pass
off in the urine.
Urinary disorders are sure signs ot
kidney sickness. If tbe urine contains
a sediment like brick dust, or whitish,
