NOTES..

Fruit forms the basis of many Of the new
bonnets.
Imported black nets show lovers knots
in black and gold.
Everything which can be trimmed with
lace is thus adorned.
The rather ancient fashion of wearing a
chain of gold dollars at ones wrist is being
revived.
New black lace dresses are made of ma
terial similar to that used for wells, and
while Enthusiastically novel, cannot be recon-
mended as durable.
Light colors are chosen for tennis gowns
this season-pale blue, lavender or white
frightened by contrasting color or varied
with stripes or accessories of some darker
shade.
The shirt waists, made like mems, which
were so popular last year and the year be-
fore, are no longer part of a young lady
wardrobe. They are still sometimes seen
but it is not considered good taste to wear
them.
The newest bodices have the backs cut in
two pieces, only seam down the middle,
backs are cut OF the bias, but it requires a
skillful hand to make them set well. They
are made over lining cut in the ordinary
way.
Shade hats in straw are of chip, fancy
braid, Neapolitan or Leghorn: brims as
rule are turned up at the back or bent fanci-
fully, and flowers are massed at the back,
from thence falling over the crown, though
sometimes they appear also below the
brIm.
The oldest thingg among the novelties for
summer evening dress are the dress coat
bodices. These are cut precisely like a
mans dress coat, except that the sleeves
are set in full at the shoulders. They have
tails and are straight at the waist, and have
wide lapels.
The newest fans are wildly bright, with
butterflies, filmy winged insects futtering
from ivory stick to ivory stick, and on the
gauze mounts other insects are embroidered
or painted Unique in their way are fans
on which sprays of white lilac are laid in
lace applique.
The most useful dress for summer Jour-
neys and for general wear is plainly made
tailor gown of homespun or cheviot of light
weight in beige or blue-gray shade, or else
of the rough surfaced striped woods in gray
and white, with slight mixture of color
yellow, blue or brick red
The snake craze is still rampant in Jew
elry, and if one has no prejudice against
reptiles, one cannot fail to regard them as
appropriate forms for bracelets, necklaces
and girdles The serpents are made OF
pliable metal with an enameled head, dia-
mond eyes and ruby tongue.
Never has lace been so much worn. Every
fourth woman one meets has deep fringe
of Chantilly blowing up from about her dra-
peries. We have berthes and basques, vo-
lantS and tabliers made of lace. We have
draperies and blouses and little paniers,
slashings, ruchings, ruffs, bows and punches
all of white and black laces. The effect is
charming.

HOUSEHOLD.

1t is good thing, once in a while, at
least, to count the mercies. and this is partic-
ularly beneficial to the Householder. who,
amid many vexations, is apt to forget that
her lines are often cast in pleasant places,
and is prone to ignore the fact that the
housekeeper of to-day, doing her own work,
granting her all the annoyances that are
well known, has less of actual labor than
did the majority of housekeepers who really
did their own work in the days of old.
Doing ones own work, even in Fort Worth,
does not mean all it would seem to imply,
and in older places the work entailed upon
the housekeeper is reduced to minimum
The manufacture of prepared food. the
sewing machine and the occasional iobber
who comes into the house, are helps

her day were expected to spin, to weave, to
sew and to knit, to make all CONNECTIONS, to
be skillful in curing meats, and in what
ever was needed to give variety To the
only was the wife to provide for the
wants of the well, but provision must be
made for any possible case of ILL.,
ness; herbs were to be dried, and
unguents prepared to meet emergencies.
Now the thrifty housekeeper who is econ
omizing does nothing Of this kind The gro
Ger and the druggist, the seamstress and
the tailor, do for her in all these lines and
it is rare that she cannot find some one TO

There are square shades and dome shaped
shades, shades shirred or plated, plain
shades with bottom ruches and high col
lars, and shades deliberately lace trimmed.
Above all there are the flower shades, OF
which our cut shows handsome example
in the orchid shade. The plated covering
of these flower shades is made of silk in
various colors-red, pale green, yellow,
ETC., a deep fringe of lace being attached to
the rim. The tiger lily. or orchid, which
forms the characteristic outside ornament,
is made of velvet, delicately tinted and
painted, and produces delightful effect
when the lamp is lighted.

HOUSEWIFE HINTS.

Use lemon Juice and salt to remove iron
rust.
Apply the juice of raw onion to the
sting of insects and it will destroy the
poison.
Wash smoked walls and ceilings with
soda and water. 1t will remove the greasy
blackness caused by oil lamps.
Turpentine is said to be the most effective
of all things for the Punishment of carpet
worms, buffalo moths and insects.
A tablespoonful of powdered alum
sprinkled in a barrel of water will precipi-
tate all impure matter to the bottom.
To prevent hot grease striking into the
floor where it has been split upon it, dash
cold water Immediately upon it. This hard
ems the grease and it ceases to run.
If doughnuts are cut out an hour before
they are fried, to allow little time for ris-
ing, they will be much lighter. Try cutting
at night and frying in the morning.
Rubbing bruise in sweet oil and then in
spirits of turpentine, it is said, will usually
prevent the unsightly black and blue spots,
which not only tell tales but deform.
Put camphor gum with your new silver
ware and it will never tarnish as long as
the gum is there. Never wash silver in
soapsuds, as that gives it white appear
ance.
In sweetening acid fruit put little soda
say half a teaspoonful to one quart of
fruit-into it before you add the sugar. 1t
lessons the amount of sugar required and
does not injure the flavor of the fruit unless
too much is used.
Silk underwear should be washed through
several cold waters in which soap and
boraX have been dissolved. All silk wear
should be squeezed by the hand rather than
rubbed, although especially soiled spots
must be rubbed with little soap.
Boil together equal parts, by weight, of
glue and molasses, spread it over common
brown paper, while hot, with brush.
Place sheet Of the paper in every room in
your house. 1t will capture every fly in the
room within the day. The paper can be
thrown in the fire and new one used, when
covered with the captured flies.
A good method of cleansing kid gloves is
to use naphtha pouring it into q deep
saucer. Put the gloves on the hands and
dip one hand at time in the saucer, wet
ting the glove thoroughly, then rub it
quickly with soft, dry cloth. The rubbing
must be done very quickly or the glove will
look streaked. Should there be any spots
that were not removed with the first dip
ping and rubbing wet a corner of the cloth
and rub the soiled part till it becomes clean.
In using such volatile articles as naphtha,
benzine, chloroform and ether, the rubbing
should be done very rapidly, that the stain
may be removed before the liquid dries.

lesseneG Perhaps the rarest quality in
Without this in household, things gang
not oft aglee, but usually gang that gait.
It is just cause for thankfulness that
woman's lot is growing easier yearly, but
this is only so when in the home she fully
realizes that she is head, not hands and
feet. The knowledge most needed and
which is not commonly found is to know
how to direct work not only is such knowL
edge Of value to the possessor, but its in
trinsic value to the members of house
hold cannot be over estimated. The nota-
BILE housekeeper is apt to be the cross tired
mother and the fretful, disappointed wife,
and to be surrounded by selfish family
who have never had their daily duties al
lotted them nor been made to do them. In
this way the evil is perpetuated, an over
INDUCED son who has not been taught to
serve becomes an exacting husband, and
the daughter comes to her mission as wife
and mother unqualified and therefore re-
bellious against the responsibility that
comes at the same time
However well q vessel may be equipped
it is poor sailer without sufficient ballast,
and a well-furnished house freighted with
its precious cargo of human souls is in dan
ger of shipwreck without the ballast that
woman Of clear brain and executive ability
will furnish. The worry and the hurry
that wears woman much more than work
will be largely overcome by woman when
she learns to wisely plan her days work
and in patience await its doing by her chill
dren and servants, although more time may
be consumed and less skill evinced. Bring
system and good nature into the home and
there will be less room for carking care and
for days of irritation and disappointment.
As these words have been somewhat
homeletic, the writer may be excused for
closing by an injunction: Sisters, do not
fret nor hurry, especially in the summer.

DAY AND EVENING ATTIRE.

off symmetrical figure to great advantage.
The skirt is ornamented with deep hem,
headed by line of gold, and is arranged
in fanlike plaits at the back. Such gown
would be smart enough for church and
quiet enough for the street.
The evening dress is of japanese silk, Or
namented with fichu of transparent soft
stuff edged with lace. The neck is cut
modestly low in V back and front, and
the elbow sleeves are finished off very
daintily with ruffies of lace. Two lace
frifls decorate the skirt, and panniers at the
top make the waist look small, and are uni
versally becoming to slight figures.

A very nice relish-Cut a small hole in
the top of a large tomato, and fill with
chopped cucumber, onion, cabbage or cauli-
flower and the tomato taken out, and serve
on a lettuce leaf with mayonnaise and
parsley chopped with onion and vinegar.
Beef loaf-Four cupfuls of lean beef,
chopped fine; one-fourth cupful of salt

crackers, two well-beaten eggs, one tea

Use teaspoonful of the vinegar to a gill
of oil, shaking them together till well
mixed. The vinegar prevents the oil from
cumming. Apply the mixture by slightly
moistening soft wooden rag with it. 1t
is good also for Frightening grained or
stained wood.

fashion for the presentseason. The shape,
being narrow, is neat and effective.

And sit and grieve, ana wonder. -[Anon.

work is better done.
The languid ways of modern society do
not favor the development Of the tomboy,
and the fad Of atheism is commendable in
that its tendency is to give to woman that
erect carriage and elastic tread which the
tomboy unconsciously acquired by climbing
after squirrels and riding unbroken horses.
Every woman can appreciate what is con-
veyed in the phrase, 1.-THE gospel of good
gowns, - and there ought to be few OF either
sex who are too dull to see the Importance
of neat personal habits, courtliness of man
per and delicate tastes. The rules that
govern good society have reason for being,
and one skilled in their Interpretation may
claim place among artists. Of course if
an individual has nothing but manners, dis
trimmings without base, but the base,
however substantial, lacking these, is unat-
tractive and thus loses much of its value.
Refinement seasons the dinner of herbs, and
as neat apparel bespeaks in the wearer
desire for the good gowning that is gospel,
so good breeding evidences a faith in the
gospel of love which ''preferreth another"

Diamond half hoop rings continue to find
favor.
Diamond asps are worn as brooches and

Debutantes who have pearls to wear are

Shoes and Stockings.

The smartest shoes for wearing with out

harmonic with any color, and are not so
conspicuous as Russia leather. Some pref
ty tennis shoes are of ooze skin in medium
shades of tan and brown. The newest
evening shoes are in black brocaded satin,
and are decorated with small paste buckles.
Stockings of fine Isle thread or silk are
seen embroidered in floral designs: others
are covered with dice pattern. Stockings

made of that material. 1t would be impos-
