tiny pendant balls, matching the silk, of
courae. In color.
Much has been done with silk in the
autumn models, though the Idea probably
menta for the ceremony, for her word
should be law. The bridegroom to be bo
comes almost an unimportant factor as far
as having anything to say about details or
plans Is concerned.
He selects his own ushers and the gifts
for them, also the (lowers carried by the
bride. Beyond that and paying the clergy
man he has nothing to do except to be on
hand at the required time.
The decorations. If flowers are to be
used, are chosen by the bride and her par
ents pay for them. In fact, they pay for
everything the carriages for the bridal
party, the sexton, if It is a church wed
ding, the luncheon or supper, and the
organist.
It Is the bride's privilege to select the
color, material and fashion of the brides
maids' gowns, and It Is even correct to
present them with gifts if she wlBhes and
can afford it. Bhe la auppoaed to give her
attendanta a souvenir of the wedding, and
the frock may be considered as such token.
It Is not necessary that she shall give
anything expensive, but she should not
omit a trifle of some kind.
In laying down the law as to what they
shall wear she should show kindliness
and tact, remebertng that a girl who looks
well In one color may appear quite hideous
In another. One that suits all should bo
chosen, and tho gown should be so made
that It can be worn afterwards to recep
tions or parties, or adapted to some use
to justify the original expense.
Whether Invitations or announcement
cards are sent out they should ' be en
graved and are In the names of the par
ents or guardians of the bride. As a literal
fact, a bride does not lnvtte people to her
wedding, but someone else does It for
her. In the case of announcement cards
of the marriage of a widow the announce
ment may be made without using other
names, but It Is not aa good form as to
have friends or relatives do It for her.
If the church wedding Is to be a large
one and only a few friends are to be In
vited to the house afterwards, a separate
oard of Invitation to the home should be
inclosed. At home cards announcing the
dates when the bride will be ready to re
ceive her friends may be Inclosed or sent
out later.
It Is not the part of the bride's parents
to furnish her new home unless they wish
to do so as a gift. Strictly speaking, the
bridegroom Is supposed to supply the new
h.om in all particulars except linen and
sliver. Both of these a bride provides as
part of her trousseau.
Wise Wonts o Traveler.
The experienced woman traveler does not
burden herself with needless belongings,
yet her satchel Is always surprising her
less provident companion by containing
some unexpected comfort, says the Youln's
Companion. One tiny whisk broom may
take the place of three heavy, mounted
brushes and an atr pillow produced at the
right moment, may secure a nap for a
tired child or relief for an aching head.
A woman can get along for a Week with

Types of 'Women In Egypt.
There are aeemlngly more types of women
In Cairo, all of them natives of Egypt, than
in any other city of like population In the
world. Their variety is due largely to the
difference in costume, which Is regulated
by religious beliefs. All the women ot
Mohammedan faith wear veils. Borne wear
queer little spoola of brass or gold, which
are attached to the headpiece, and which
hang down to cover the nose. Tills signi
fies that the wearers are married. Othera
wear veila without either headpiece or noae
covering. The veila of the Turkish women
are handsomest, for occasionally they are
thin enough to show the outline of the
features beneath.
Nearly all of the aristocratic male Egyp
tians of Cairo are married to Turkish wo
men, who are supposed to be superior to
the natives In both beauty and Intelligence.
The majority of Turkish girls of wealthy
families are educated as are their Eu
ropean sisters, and many of them are tal
ented In muslo and painting. This enlight
enment which allows the daughters to be
educated applies only to those families
which have had the advantages of Kngllsh
association. But this class Is very rarely
seen by the tourist, unless he geta Just a
flash of their veiled faces showing through
the closed windows of a carriage tn which
they enjoy their daily outing on the fash
ionable Gasara drive of Cairo.
It Is the middle class which one will see
on the streets and In the bazars In the na
tive quarters. Occasionally the aristocrat
visits the jeweler, but when she does she Is
ushered Into a private reception room, and
la so hedged in by ceremony and servants
that the Ruropean customer in the same
shop cranea his neck in vain to get a
glimpse of her.
Women's Wear br Wholesale,
The manager of a New York department
store received a letter the other day that

woman. "I live In an apartment," it ran,
"where there are forty-five other families.
In a very little while we shall begin our

other women In this house and we have
concluded to do our shopping at the same
place, provided you will make us wholesale

Simplicity In Clothing.
Miss Eva Palmer of New York. Just back
from Paris, created something of a sensa

consisted of a gown after the order direc

Danger In Oriental Rags.
Dr. Remllnger, head of the Pasteur In
stitute in Constantinople, has been making
an investigation of oriental rugs and car
pets and has published a summary ot his
results in the German Journal of Genera)
and Applied Hygiene. He finds that the
carpets of the better class, the highly
prized antiques or near antiques, constitute
a serious menace to health unless they are
put through a radical cleansing and dis
infecting process.
The real antiques which have been In
use In oriental houses or bazars for years
or generatlona have been exposed to the
contagion of countless disease germs. Their
texture fits them In a peculiar way to
gather and retain these indefinitely.
These genuine antiques are far less ob
jectionable than the counterfeit antiques
which have been artificially mellowed. One
of the least objectionable methods used to
soften the colors In the degree that the
European and American market calls for
Is to bury the carpets in trenches with
quantities of stable refuse. When taken
up they are little likely to receive a thor
ough cleansing.
Sometimes the carpets are laid down In
frequented places to he walked on, thus
accumulating the bacteria laden dust of the
eastern city streets. Or a rug may be
lent to a beggar or street vender, who aits
on It and sleeps in it until it acquires the
semblance of age.
Dr. Remllnger points out that tuber
culosis, throat diseases and catarrh are
prevalent in the rug and carpet trade. He
is of opinion that they are contracted from
handling the fabrics and breathing the air
In which they are opened and agitated aa
they are shown tn customers. The doctor
also expresses the opinion that some other
wise unaccountable outbreaks of tropical
enteric disorders that have taken place in
Paris were dut to infection from oriental
rugs.
The most thorough and efficient process
of cleansing would be disinfection by
steam. This would do no harm to the
rugs and It Is an a!snlutely certain method
of killing bacteria. He thli.ks that It should
be generally adopted us a preliminary to
the Importation of eastern fabrics into any
occidental country.
Sidelight on Women Renders.
A pretty girl was riding downtown In a

a copy of one of the humorous magaxlnes,
says a Boston observer. She wss reading
the magazine carefully and conscientiously,
to Judge by her expression. Not a smile
troubled the soft curves around her mouth.
Bhe looked long and earnestly at the po

went, looking attentively at all the pic

The typical walking costume Is still built
on the plain lines of the original tailor

matter and a walking suit Is no longer
merely the utility suit. Smart suits of two
and three pieces are fashioned of dark
plaid suitings, blue and green, brown and
black, and the shadow deslgna being first
in favor.
A very eminent fashion authority decrees
that the skirt should be trimmed only
around the foot. "It is fatal." says she.
"to trim a skirt as deep as the knee line.
The trimming should be only around the
hem. There can be a hip yoke, but to
trim a skirt half way up, or even as deep
as the knee, Is very poor taste, for It
makes the figure look short"
A strenuous effort Is being made to Intro

into his throat
Dr. Cardoza came, from the Bushwlclc
