It is thought that this action niay increase the number of men. This measure is not expeetttl. however, to bring complete relief. So many young men during recent years have ncglci ted the study of dancing as a part of their education that London hostesses are not able to count on them as helpers at the gayety of their parties.

Young meu at the which should make ihem most attractive guests at balls are siiid to be so ignorant of that the most they can do for the amusement of those they are invited to meet is. to stand about the doorways and talk -to the young girls, who would very much like To enjoy of the pleasures for which they have been prepared presumably more or less rigorously at daucing-sehool. 'New York houses are not as a rule so large as tht.se of Loudou, and private dances not so frequent except in those supplied with ballrooms. The dancing features of them are rather more a tradition than anything else. Few persons dance and few are expected to.

The small supply of dancing men over a certain rather tender age has always been more or less the subject of complaint in New York society. But the situation was never so serious here as it apparently has become in London. JEALOUSY. I would then wert a rose, imij I the tree. That when I died, thou, too, mlght'st die with me.

Certandy.

these weapons of torture are into play often enough to make it a sensible provision. l-'ew women huve ever tried to find out how their locks can be arranged with never a wave or a ringlet. If liny comb their tresses'straight back ami wad them up into tight little bumps they can be pretty sure that they will look like frights. But there are various ways of killiui; pussy cats, to quote an old adage. The.

reasou why straight hair is not bect.ining to women of irregular features is because the ears and the ugly, liare places behind them are left too plainly exposed, or for the reason that the hair is brushed back aud the macaroni-like scolding locks left to Uv iu gentle breezes. of these'troubles are easily remedied if the long hair be parted off Ihe top of the head, from one ear lo mint her. aud the front portion lied about four iuches from tho head ami left to fall hack loosely. The back portion can twisted lip into curly-cut's and small doughnut-like ar- rangemenls. while what is left over from the lotixely-arrangetl front part can be fluffed up into a soft puff or two.

Then, if you wauf a few soft curls around tho face, all right ami gooil. But ns for curling a huge mop of hair and trying to keep it that what's the use. unless nature has bestowed a little hair-kinking preparation of her own? At this time of the year the hair should be shampooed every ten days or two weeks. Very oily.hair needs a weekly scrubbing. But unless the shampoo is thorough aud the rinsing wvtl done, no "crown of gliiry" is going to be soft and fluffy and beautiful.

Soft water is so necessary for this that if rain water cannot be got. I would suggest using the that drains aw-ay from the ice IKJX. I aui taking it for granted, of course, that your ice box is kept scrupulously cleau, It is almost impossible to make soapsuds when ttie water is very hard, and the soap accumulating on the scalp lid hair makes a stit-ky, guimiiy deposit that is anything but pleasant, and which ordinary rinsing will not remove. When soft water cannot be cot a little salts of tartar should be added to the water, this being particularly nice for blonde, auburu or white hair. The lavender lotion, four ounces of alcohol, one ounce of ammonia aud one druhni oil of lavender, is a delightful addition to the shampoo, one tablespoonfnl being siitlicieut for a bowl of water.

Unless great quantities of running water be used, it is almost impossible to have the hair clean and soft, the bath spray being the most effective way of. getting after the soap and dandruff. one need not hare two pairs alike. large tartan plaid stockings are the most popular, and thev are in all the colors of the rainbow. Xext in favor are the spotted stockings in colors of great brilliancy, and the striped hose are equally favored.

Some have hairlines nnd others have broad bauds: some have openwork stripes alternating with bands of color, and some stockings have the upper part of plain color and the lower part spotted, or checked, or viee-versa. Clocks are again seen, not the slender line of other days running up the side, but aa elaborately-worked pattern, which shows off smartly in some contrasting color. Xo one, not even the most Conserva- tivcly-tlressed woman, seems to have the least objection to these new and brilliantly -colored stockings: they have been accepted by all without the least protest and the note of gay color showing abuve the low shoes of summer is particularly Tribune.

Many weary, busy, hurried housekeeper will bless the pictorial label this summer, and so will many a vacation-hungry boy or girl who in other seasons has been pressed unwillingly into the service of writing out fruit labels. The pictorial label is simplicity itself. The colored representation of the fruit indicated explains, its object and purpose alone. There is nothing to confuse the eye of the housekeeper as she runs it over the shelves of her preserve closet in search of a particular fruit.

Some of the designs shown evidence a high degree of artistic merit as well. The labels can be used but puce, but they may be purchased very cheaply, and come nil gummed and ready to attach. It is safe to say that many a progressive and well- occupied Chicago housekeeper will make liberal use of them this year, and the fact that the fruits which they distinguish may be recognized much more quickly and readily by means of tht-ir aid than with that of the old-time written label constitutes no insignificant point in their favur.

Every housekeeper knows that the term "cooking butter" means a grade of butter that is not quite fresh enough for table Use, and is therefore only fit to be used in cooking. The trouble is that in some houses butter never seems to become too stale to bo utilized in the prep- aratiou of various dishes, and it is employed in the interest of economy even after it has acquired rancid flavor.

When table butter has lost its fresh fragrance of flavor and odor, it is still iu perfectly proper condition to use as an ingredient in seasoning, but when it begins to be strong in taste or odor, even in a slight degree, it is ruinous as a season- jug and impairing as an ingredient. It is nothing short of sinful that so many good dishes should be spoiled by an HM- intelligent economy which, supposedly representing a saving of or a year, in reality is the most wasteful practice common to a kitchen. I-'or butter that has grown strong soap-fat jar is the only proper destiny. HOW TO WATER PLANTS. Tht 1 watering of plants is a subject on which floriculturists differ.

One maintains that if the soil is close or clayey very seldom will water be required; if sandy or loose, more often, but each locality will have its own rules. Another argues thin 'in a hot. dry climate the watering pot is a necessity, anil if there are not plentiful showers plants should be watered freely every evening. wafcriug is not. as some suppose, au absolute necessity, but plants seldom thrive well through the feverish days of July and August without frequent- and copious watering, says the 1'ittsburg 1 lispatch.

The water for plants should not be very cold. A good w-ay to take the chill off is to draw it in the morning and let it stand all day iu the sun. Haiit water is Ihe best, and it may generally he obtained by haviii" a hogshead standing in some place out of sight, under a spout connected with the roof. In watering the water should he showered on slowly aud geutly from the watering pot. HOW TO PREVENT "CROCKING." "If you your black lawn dresses to come out dean and fresh and uen- after having given them good wear," suys the woman who knows how to manage, "instead of washing them get one of the best popular dyes and siuinlv dip your gown into ii, following the" directions.

That cIciiiiK tin-gown, aud at the same time gives it a fresh, clear black- such as it is not apt to have after a mere wnshmsr. Another black that will keep in its proper place and not rub off is the blnck of stockings, if they are washed in a very deep Miimg water. They are sure not to crock after REVOLT OF A SUMMER CIRL. The first few days of her visit at a country house, this summer girl -went about with trailing skirts, skin-tight sleeves, a sylphine waist, and her flee); properly choked by high stocks, banded riboons and yards of fluff. She looked very swell, she felt well, every woman who has had to tag around with company clothes and company manners as a summer bondage knows how.

this girl felt while she waved her fan. hitched her swirling draperies from npiler foot and plucked viciously at her binding collars when nobody was looking. The weather kept growing hotter and the clothes more burdensome. One morning the fashionable sufferer drove ntb the village with a dress-suit case and rwo big bundles in tow. When she came rack the case and bandies were not with ler, and she looked mysterious, bat satis- led, if quizzed regarding her mission.

A few days came when she whisked into the break- room looking anything bat ta mode, POINTS ON BEAUTY. What is beauty. Common sense and cleanliness. The combination is in the best of taste. We sensible women know we have sot to have our wits about us to be beautiful.

Was. there ever before such a hue and cry raised about what should be put into our stomachs? The woman contented to sit down and placidly grow old and hom'ely is soon to become a nine days' wonder.

Discovery of an Internal Tumor by tie Aid of Photography. Chicago. 111., C. Fuchs Of the Roentgen X-ray laboratory in the Schiller building, with the assistance ot physicians, has succeeded in. photographing the inner walls of the stomach ot James C.

Foster, a wealthy lumberman of Cleveland. For years Mr. Foster has been suffering from an ailment Of the stomach which all the physicians whom he has applied failed to relieTO. In Chicago he heard of an invention of Mr. Fuchs by which photographs of-the stomach u'ere takeu with the aid of the X-ray.

He decided to try the experiment. The invention consists of a rubber tube, at the end of which is a bulb with walls as thin as it is possible to make them. The interior of the bulb is coated with a photographic emulsion and acts as the plate on which the picture is taken. The patient is made to swallow the bulb, which is then inflated by means of air blown into the tube until the bqlb entirely tills the stomach, its flexible sides conforming to the. walls of the stomach.

1 he X-ray exposure is then made, the tube is withdrawn and the picture on the thin rubber bulb is developed as in ordinary X-ray photographs. For two days Mr. oster was prepared for the ordeal which took place Saturday. Ha swallowed the tube, the bulb was inflated, und after an exposure of eight miuutes the bclb was removed. The operation, it is said, was wholly successful A NEW DIANA.
