TRAININGS for Dress skirts.

The correspondents who ask for new
suggestions about trimming the foot Of
dress skirts are advised that the simplest
borders are considered most stylish. A
pretty way of arranging silk or satin has
two narrow anticipated frills at the
foot, which cover about five or six inches
of the foundation skirt. and on these as
a heading fally tiny plated fans made
of the dress skirt cut into tabs. These
tabs are five inches broad and six inches
long; they are lined with silk, and in
terlined with crinoline lawn, and are
caught upward in the center in four or
five tiny plaits from the bottom to the
top of the tab, and after being spread
out in fan shape, are tackled together at
the bottom. Another effective and sub
stantial trimming for the foot is made
of gathered bias satin that looks like
ruffies, but is really puffs tapping half
over the puff next below. Three of
these puffs are used; the two lower ones
are only three inches deep when finished,
while the upper one is six inches, and
has an erect ruffie for the heading made
of the upper edge of the puff, doubled
and held by two parallel rows of shirring.
The measurement given here is for the
completed trimming. and does not allow
for the doubled edges or for the seams.
This trimming is very effective when two
or three shades appear in dress, as each
is represented by puff or frill; thus an
olive dress with embroidered salmon
figures upon it has the lowest puff of
dark olive, light olive for that above it,
while the wide puff at the top is of sal
mon satin.-Harper' Bazaar.

Grasses for Decoration.

Fine grasses are seldom found upon
dry soil, but in meadows and unwooded
swales the seeker will find them in in
finite variety
Other desirable water-loving plants,
much prettier for drying than the fash
ionable cat-tail, also abound in such 10
calities. Some of the daintiest orna-
ments of ladies' bonnets are culled from
these neglected wastes. AS taste will be
the guide in selection, it is not necessary
to particularize varieties.
For the time of gathering it is impos-
sible to give dates, but grasses and their
kindred should be cut while in the bud,
ashort. time before the blossom opens
if later, they are apt to ''fuzz'' or rattle
off.
For treatment, cut the stalks of the de-
sired length, and clean of blades or
leaves. Place the heads together and
tie in lunches of size that will dry
readily. Hang in the shade till dry.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye are also
beautiful. l believe they should be cut
while in the white stage of development,
which comes between the green and yell
low. Experience has shown me that they
work well at this age, at least. Treat
ment the same as in grasses.
The one defect of all dried grasses is
their loss of color. In measure, grains
also have this fault. Some water plants,
like cat-tail, dry to rich golden brown,
but dried grasses have a dingy. washed
out appearance, which can only be reme-
died by dyeing or bleaching. They are
dyed by florists in ali brilliant colors, but
refined taste seems to dictate that the
original bronze, gold or green be re-
stored. The process is simple, and per-
formed with aniline dyes, which are for
sale in various forms. For those who do
not possess the skill of florists in shaping
by steaming and manipulation, it is well
to place the grasses or oats in an upright
or leaning position while drying after
dyeing to avoid the stiff look of per-
fectly erect stalk. Indeed if the grasses
are not to be dyed, it is well to dry them
in some such position at first.
For arrangement there are few pref
tier things than the little grass or grain
