SUMMER CoLORS.
Navy Blue and White Make q Pretty
Combination.

ANoNy DAo 0Ho ZOE HWY
Combination.
Notwithstanding the Introduction
of new combinations of %colors, the
most popular dark dresses for summer
are those of navy blue with white
trimmings. These reappear year after
wear in varied arrangements, not only
because they are generally becoming
and suitable alike for the young and old.
but because they are the coOlest-look-
ing of all dark dresses. In their latest
manifestation these gowns are of sheer
wool crepon, with narrow insertions of
creamy guipure in row after row
around the skirt and on the shoulder
ruffies and sleeves. Sometimes seven
insertions, sometimes eleven, are used
to bring the uppermost row high
around the hips. In other gowns the
insertions are confined to the waist in
cross rows for those who are long
wasted, and in lengthwise stripes for
those with short waist. The skirt
has then a gored iounce beginning at
the knee and headed with "a ruche of
blue or black satin ribbon, which may
| also be repeated at the foot. Dresses
of inexpensive India silks or of dark
blue cottons, either batistes or organdy
| muslins, have a foundation skirt COW
| cred with three hounces, each bordered
with the narrow white guipure inser-
ton with straight edges, Or else with
one mitred or scalloped edge that gives
a pretty finish. In some blouse waists
| of such dresses two wider rows of in
sertion form the trimming. the lower
row passing around directly under the
armholes, while above this in front
and back is another row crossing from
armhole to armhole. The insertion
may be introduced in the puffs at the
upper part of the sleeves, but it is
more usual to leave these of the plain
blue fabric, and have many horizontal
insertions in the close lower sleeves

A young woman of this city whose

The Chafng-Dish.

In buying a ~chafng-dish do not
think that a silver-plated n is neces-
sary. One made of block tin is just as
good for cooking purposes. In using q
chaing-dish remember that the fame
is intensely hot and very close; there
fore be careful lest what you are cook
ing be overdone or burned. Always
wash the c~hafing-dish as o as posi-
Bile after using. and place it in the sun,
if possible. Also in extinguishing the
flame, hat you completely cover the
lamp: for if you do not you will loose a
great deal of alcohol by evaporation

to tinge the pallor of her cheeks, and
something akin to a smile wreathed her
lips. Then in a voice subdued but
mellow, like a nightingale's she said:
