-'t .t.N. 30 IN ttaLAs kioft-AlAllEs IN iaNN,
aud in cut is modelled after an evening
gown being sleeveless and having Y
decollctage over a white CAMP. The
shoulders are lCuottcd with blue ribbons;
the white CAMP sleeves are made In shirt
pattern. This sounds very pretty but the
savannah girls can beat even that.
Pique is a becoming suit to woman Of
good figure, who can stand the severe
plainness of the suit. There is a white
duck suit seen occasionally on Bull street
and worn by an ex-Augusta lady that is
most becoming and refreshing TO look at.
These suits are popular in New York.
Most of the pique there made up has
linen stripes or small figures on a white
ground, scarlet rings, blue sprigs, or tiny
leaves, and other equally modest designs.
Some of the cheaper suits are of percale.
The cut most generally used for these
costumes is the Elton jacket.
Society has taken unto itself wings and
flown to Tybee. This is not hard to
understand when one remembers that
some of the most popular Savannah girls
are there. Augusta is also charmingly
represented and the Augusta
men, strange to say, find Tybee particu-
larry attractive this Sunday. Society is
not all out of town, however. A be-
witching pink gingham, worn with a
white sailor hat, is still lingering in the
twilight. Some of the busy men look
very absent-minded while strolling home,
and one naturally concludes they, too, are
pining for Tybee.
The many who do not know the luxury
of garden or a lawn, brighten up their
houses, mean the stoop, by potted plants
and give the homes an air of cultivation
and refinement, but the New York Times
thinks it is sometimes overdone. 1t says:
But when the custom is carried so far
that on each step some plant stands and it
is difficult TO pass in or out, the idea has
become absurd, and it is time to consider
a bit the wisdom of what we do Decora-
ton that takes an oppressive form can
never be good, let the special direction be
what it may, and when growing plants
and lovely blossoms are changed from OBJ
jects of delight into Obtrusive annoyances
the perversion of taste cannot be accepted
no matter what fashionable decree in
sistsn
Twenty-Five different branches of in
struction are open to women in Pratt In
stitute, in Brooklyn. OF these fourteen
are self-supporting. 1t is the work of
graduates in these courses which is rep
resented in the exhibit of the institute in
the Woman's building in Chicago. They
comprise dressmaking, millinery, cook
cry, laundry work sewing, typewriting,
bookkeeping normal training in art edu-
cation, designing art needlework, pho
Biography, wood carving, architectural
drawing and library training. 1t is pity
there is no rich man in Savannah to do
the Pratt act; there would be no end of
grateful, self-supporting, independent
women as the result in this world and a
triple golden crown for him in the next.
There are a good many novelties in
doilies, as, for instance, squares of bro
alr coll, INIT n
of old point lace; Jamaica lace bark with
ferns; muslin and lace or silk and lace,
embroidered with the pattern of the china
used, and puckered chiffon, which, how
ever, is useless from practical stand
point. In shape they are oftener square
than round, says the New York Sun But
it can't be very appetizing to have chiffon
on the table; nothing is so inviting as
fresh white linen.
The Philadelphia Record gives some good
advice for last years dresses and to those
who have not thought of 1t, it may open a
treasure house of new dresses. But
women generally find these things for
themselves. Don't throw away Old-fash-
toned waists If the sleeves are skin
tight split them on the upper side of the
arm from shoulder to elbow, put in q
slender V, giving just enough space for
comfort, then make deep puffs of some
contrasting material sewed in at the ell
bows, turn them up toward the top, thus
concealing the seam; then sew them in
with the sleeve or turn in and blind
stitch carefully down, finishing them with
little puff or ruffle of silk or fold them
over and make a shirred rutfie of the edge
of the sleeve and sew them down to the
waist with very fine stitches.
