Who was witty and good and seau faire;
All the other gills found,
That when she was around,
They were just counted out as neau whaire.
To mend old cotton garments
with strong thread is like putting
new wine into old bottles; the
cheap thread which can be bought
for one or two cents a spool is just
right to darn with. 1t will not pull
out, as the stout thread is likely to
do, and so make small hole larger,
and impossible to mend without
putting on a patch.
LaWn-tennis aprons made of EN-
broidered scrim, pongee or linen
are a novelty. The designs worked
upon them are elaborate, and the
aprons are striking in color and eff
feet, but they are not so dainty and
ATTRACTIVE as the pretty little tea
aprons of satin wrought in f0ral
designs.
Stirring is still the craze in ar
tlstic dressing, and tabliers, yokes,
sleeves, tunics, pelerines, indeed
whole costumes, bonnet and all. are
made of this graceful trimming.
Elaborate shirrings are also seen
upon the long trains o: some of the
latest French dress models.
Sketching dresses are added to
the list of novel costumes. They
are made of Quaker gray summer
vigogne, with close fitting cuirass
bodice coat sleeves, and a short
knitted shirt, over which is laid a
fat round tunic which has a pencil
pocket on the right side.
1t is next to impossible to ticd
small jet bugles in market, so great
has been the demand for them for
the adornment of tabliers, perelines,
bonnet Crowns and laces, but these
are not as effective as the glittering
bugles.
Stylish and inexpensive little
Mother Hubbard dresses are made
for little girls of Carrick macross
edgings and insertions, to be worn
over princess slips of linen, batiste
or fculard. Pale blue, cardinal or
seal brown are the colors usually
chosen for the slips.
Shopping satchelS of straw, to be
suspended from the belt, are made
after the fashion of the fiat, square,
Russia leather or tinsel bags. They |
have handles and clasps. and on the |
outside is a tiny pocket just large |
enough to carry q small bouquet of
flowers.
More satin and nuns yelling is an
exceedingly popular combination in
the latest French evening dresses;
and sashes, loops and floating ends
of watered ribbon are scattered in
greatest profusion and grace all
over these elegant toilets.
Some of the tulles d'Alsace are
extremely pretty, presenting a varl-
ETY. of dainty floral and other pat
terms. One novel design repre-
ser Is q shower of silver tipped
feathers on a turquoise. blue ground.
Fashionable ladies have for the

much iewelry, wearing no earrings
Excepting very small solitaires, the 8
most fashionable of which fit close :

A great boon to people VINO love q
pretty dresses but who cannot af- :
ord expensive ones, is Saline, which

One of the prettiest fabrics which

which has been used for children's =
