neck. Chiffon mousseline folds also edge
dress collars. while other collars are formed
entirely OF folds of chiffon. The soft,
dropping friNs of chiffon are so becoming
that they remain in favor Notwithstanding
the fancy for tea tinted and coffee colored
laces beaded with jet.
Parisians are wearing piaitings and col

long out of favor. are again worn here with
tailor gowns. The collar is the English

the throat, or else wider collar that flares
slightly and is turned down narrowly all

worn. Linen cuffs are wide and are made
to meet and fastsn with linked buttons of

NOTES..

A white Hadiug veil is a marked feature
| of the summer picturesque costume.
The newest neck ruchings are of chiffon,
| dotted with Specks of blue, pink or lavender
| One of the ia, orite scents of the season is
| white lilac, and this is most refreshing
when sprayed from vapJrizer.
The petticoat for the summer is striped
| wash silk il narrow lines of pink and white,
| blue and white, trimmed with pinked silk
flowers I'D lace.
1t requires five yards of No. 16 ribbon to
make crown band on j sailor and two
| fluffy rosetteS on the left, the second one
| holding 4 brush or aigrette.
AS the summer goes on hats and wells
| grow bigger and more important. The lat
t. are no longer an adjunct to a bonnet or
h.. They are necessary and mseparable
portion of the headgear.
A recherche parasol for this season is of
white silk. hand embroidered with white
riolets, and has few OF the artificial flow
erS fastened here and there on the silk and
in the folds of Mechlin lace with which the
parasol is bordered.
1t is predicted that flowers will be worn
late into the winter. and that piece velvet
will be greatly worn as entire hats and
bonnets, trimmings and ties; and certainly
nothing can be more universally becoming
or richer in appearance.
The entirely plain skirt which widens
below into a bell-like shape has grown
quite popular. II should not become COM
mon. as it is fitted only to nice figures, and
fashion provides sufficient variety this
season to satisfy all tastes.
''Valois" sleeves are the newest covering
for madam's white arms. These are the
ordinary very full high sleeves. clasped in
the middle of the arm by an antique silver
or gold brooch or large button, and again
held by a like ornament just below the ell
bow.
Gaptlet gloves are in order for country
wear. They are made in ordinary kid and
suede, and are moderate in size. Some of
those in suede have the gantlets covered
with rows of narrow braid. but the major
ity in kid are untrimmed. Gray gloves are
very fashionable in England, particularly
in suede kid. and often have wide, black
coIings on the back.

A pretty and uncommon way of arrang-

some of the leading dressmakers. is 10 use

festooning it twice across the front of the

near the edge of the skirt, turning over the
top of the lace in a two or three inch hem.

the temperature is just right. The follow

the oven every ten minutes with piece OF
white paper. If too hot the paper will
blaze up or blacken. When the paper be-
comes dark brown the oven is fit for small
pastry. pies, etc. When light brown-that

cakes; while if Just tinged the oven is right

just at the last before baking. Do not beat
them into the mixture, but stir them in
lightly and as quickly as you can, especially
for sponge cake. Buns are said to be much
lighter and shorter when the dough is set
overnight and the eggs and favoring

CHAT ON FASHION.

Fads have their time TO fade and . be
scattered by fashions breath, so if there is
4 mode that violates good taste or shocks
ones ideas of fitness, time and change will
bring things around right 1t has not been
very long since it seemed as if there would
be 4 complete revolution in womens under
wear. not only in the fashioning, but in the
material and color. Lovers "f the pure
white, dainty uliergarments were sur
prised if not shocked TO read that soft
linen, delicate null and white laces were to
give place to black and the colors in silk
and knitted goods. Union garments and
divided skirts would displace the petticoat
and chemise, ana thus would pas away the
pretty Illusion of flowing drapery and pure
white garments. Not so; the fad has passed
away. Black never became popular, and
The divided skirt and union garment are by
no means in common use And now
word comes from Paris that the chemise is
restored TO favor, although choice of color
Is allowed. The material. it is said, should
be null or India silk. If to be worn with q
house or evening gown. it may be ankle
length and finished with u deep ruffie of
lace
Aside from this special wear the chemise
IS prettiest short. II is lrettiest worn over
the corsets. If worn. 4 corset cover must
be donned 10 protect the corset. The
chemise is, of course. low necked, and the
nee: edge should be finished with insertion
or 4 yoke of lace, or what you will. if only
IL be not a bunchy or voluminous ruffie,
which will spoil the lines of the bodice put
over. For this same reason the sleeve
should be mere strap. The garment
should be cut low, but newer to below the
edge of the corset. and the lace about the
neck. or the upper edge of the chemise.
should either be pulled close or be drawn
close by u ribbon. This gives roundness
10 the breasts helps the fit of the bodice
aud adds to the grace of the garment.
A band of insertion set in the chemise
Just above the waist line, through which
ribbon can be passed, tying in front, brings
the garment into attractive lines and adds
TO its dressiness and to the roundness of
the bust. If this is done, the skirt part of
the chemise may be made lovely by rows of
insertion, either set perpendicular or hori-
zontal That is, either round and round or
up and down. The ribbon being run for
the belt well above the waist line, it makes
pretty finish when the short skirt is put

doing this:
After the fashion of the eastern rug and

wood about foot larger than the rugs are
TO be. Then string coarse fish line from
one end to the other, pulling them just as
tight as the strings will stand without
swapping. They should be placed as close
together as possible. Separate every other
one and run stick between the rows.
Then tie in a double knot each piece of col
ored cord or rag of fancy material, cut il
strips of about Two inches or less. to the
upper row of hsh line Put each piece
close together. Then remove the stick
and bring on top the other row of fish
lines. Repeat this operation until the rug
is fiuished. Then tie the ends of the fish
lines together and conceal them from view
in the back. The rug should then be
sewed to some old piece of carpet cut the
desired length. Cut the ends of the brus-

possible. This viii give the rug firm.
