SUMNER SILKS having the new Japanese pat
terms are much sought after in the making Up of
combination suits. India foulard silks are de-
srable. especially those with porcelain patterns
OF hawthorn branches. Raw silks are deemed
quite unique; the designs are copied from
stained glass, and go closely scattered over the
goods that the original texture is entirely con-
cealed.
IT appears that the choice Of coors in per-
eonal adornment is governed this season. to a
great extent. by esthe:icism. ''Tawny shades
ascend and descend the scale In as many de-
grees as one or more octayeS on q musical in
strument. Failing away they sink into pale
yeiiowlsh bicndings. OF growing deeper they
attain gradually to the .eOuine' hues of the
now prominent sunfiower."
THOSE REDS that are tinged with purple are
considered novel, the orehis red ranking first in
this list Turc red has the pure garnet hue and
looks well with telegraph" blue. which shade
blends beautifully with several of the esthetic
colors- Creamy white is highly favored. and
particularly in the choice of fine all-woOl goods
and satns intended for full dress. The grayish
Russian blues are popular. Blue deepening to
purple has a very pleasing effect Green tighten
Ing into yellow Is charming.
GREEK adornment in dress has always held in
. more or less degree a very important place in
refined modes. Just at present this classical
style OF dress is seen in touches. Here and
there the eye will rest on a dainty curve or
delicate outline that reminds one at once of the
picturesque effects so prOlifically expressed In
Grecian drapery. These artistic expressions in
personal adornment are not easily secured; only
the skilled workman can produce the desired
result In the construction Of such fashionable
toilets.
IT Is wise for mother to take time to dress
and be fair in her ehildren's eyes; to read for
their sake, TO learn to talk well and to live in
to-day. The circle the mother draws around
her IL more wholesome for the child than the
sponsible for his social surroundings. IL IS not
easy to be the chiid's most interesting compan-
lon and TO make home his strongest magnet but
the mothers who have done this have been the
mothers of good men.-Olr Continent
