A very. simple but very pretty ging-
ham waist has a gathered front fasten-
ing on n side. with a deep rufae. In
stead of the usual collar a band Of RIB
bon finishes the neck to match the very
broad belt, the feature of both the col
lar and belt being that the edges are.
brought together with a finish Of a tiny
rufie on either side. This is a very neat
arrangement and does away with the
necessity Of q bow to conceal the join

the weather becomes suitable for a light

slim waist, shoulder seams cut rather
long and short pulled upper sleeves. The
dress itself is of lovely new ondine
bengaIne, a pearl gray with changeable
tints of yellow and red and blue, which
have quite an opal effect. It is made
double breasted and worn with a wide,
belt and buckle.
The yoke and closely fitting lower
sleeves are made of a light contrasting
silk, and small founces of the silk and
bengaline are placed in pairs at equal
distances half way up the skirt. A

the stately tapestried walls Of your. pal
ace.
The tendency in all fine work is in the
direction Of the paneled walls and cell
ings Of the Louis XIV period, especially
for parlors, halls, reception rooms and
stately dining rooms. To this end the
vatican and colonial papers have. such
special borders printed to match as will
enable the purchaser to have them APP
piled in panels should BIC. SO desire. Each
paper has two ~friezes, a 9 and an 18-inch
fieze, adapting them to either low or
high ceilings.
It is noticeable that cartridgepapers are
no longer manufactured, which those
who cling to a good thing because it is
good andnot merely because it is fash
pnahle may feel Like regretting, Satir
stripes have taken their place, and it
must be confessed that since the aim Of
all the wall paper manufacturers is to
initiate some fabric or other these do
look marvelously Like q satin striped
SILK. They are used on narrow bedrooms
and also in low ceiled rooms.
The embossed papers Initiating mail
cloth, canvas and other materials are a
new departure and simply wonderful.
It is only Of late years, the New York
Recorder declares, that manufacturers
have learned that it is worth while to
cater to the tastes Of people who I'M
fortunately combine artistic instincts
with the most limited purses. In conse-
quence Of this, if you are condemned to
buy a cheap paper, you may find n as
artistic in coloring and in design as If

"What "a blessing waists are, to be

be sufficiently. thankful for a fashion that
is at once so becoming and SO sdressy,'
and which takes up so little space. With
a few percale and cheyiot waists and a
couple of silk ones, N may have really

Some of the. new patterns in waists are
especially pretty, and most Of them are
adaptable for either silk OF Bingham.
One of the newest and most effective
styles has two long pieces of the silk
gathered into the shoulder seams; Of
these has a full rune on the inner edge.
The long ends are crossed in front and
at the back and then brought around
again in front and tied in an empire bow
at the side. For. women who are in the
habit of dressing for dinner in low bod
ices a low necked waist viii be found
very useful. This is simply a gathered
baby waist, with a full accordion plated

There is q plain bell shaped skirt Of
chestnut brown silk warp cashmere,
made with q very full back. Around
the bottom is q band of persian trim
