Convenient Wire Hooks.

Not every woman may know that
there is sort of wardrobe hook made
that she can easily put up for herself
with no other tool than brad awl. The
thing can be done, when the wood is
not too hard, with only hammer and
small nail. You drive the nail in a
little way to make hole; then pull it
out and screw in the hook You know
how anything cut with screw thread
fairly turns itself into the wood when
well started and turned with some
pressure. These hooks are made of
heavy wire, one end finished with the
thread to screw into the wall, and the
other end, after making the hook prop
er, turned into second hook under
meath and forming sort of brace.
They are not to be recommended for the
suspension of heavy weights perhaps, but
the ease with which they are put up sug-
gests their use in many an odd corner
where man would think it nonsense
to want hook.

To make the hands soft take equal

To clean soiled spots in mating rub

may be emphasized by canvas, moreen
or crinoline.
The overskirt drapery is in circular
STYLE with bias back edges that are
Joined in center seam. 1t quite con-
ceals the gored skirt at the back and al
most conceals it at the front, but dis
plays it for some distance at the sides,
where it is raised stylishly and arrang-
width at the top, widens gradually to-
ward the lower edge and is held in place
by straps tackled underneath. In front
of the box plait are three forward turn
ing, overlapping plaits that give a
graceful cross wrinkled effect. The top
Of the drapery in front Of these plaits is
slightly gathered, and the fullness at
the back is massed in coarsely drawn
gathers and falls in soft, graceful folds
to the lower edge. The drapery is trim,
med at the bottom with five rows of rib
bon placed at equal distances apart.
Summer silk, grenadine, crepon, chal-
lis, organdy, batiste, lawn and various
lightweight materials that may be pref
tily decorated with ribbon or bands of
velvet will make up stylishly in this
manner. The trimming may be put on
in rows as represented, or in waved ar
curved lines, or in series of points,
any artistic disposal that individual
taste may suggest being allowable. The
fashion greatly favors combinations both
of materials and colors.

The WooosN WEDDING.
Directions For Its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Rare Birch Bark.

of Rare Birch Bark.
The first milestone-after five years
of married life-when the young wife
speaks of herself as san old married
woman" is called the wooden we'd
ding"
Following are some directions for the
celebration of this anniversary as given
in The Ladies' Home Journal:
A cozy little dinner, to which those
who were the bridesmaids and grooms-
men are hidden, with few intimate
friends, is usually the favorite form OF
entertainment. Note paper may be had
resembling birch bark which is suit
able for the invitations. The dining
room may be made to look as ''woodsy"
as possible with roping of evergreen
and verdure of any sort. The introduce
ton of christmas trees" into the room
adds much to the sylvan effect. They
are to be had almost for the asking in
summer.
A box made of twigs holding ferns
makes an appropriate centerfs;ece for
the table, and the cheapest wooden
dishes lined with ferns will hold the
bonbons and cakes quite acceptably. At
each lady's place a little toy bucket or
pail-the slaves alternately of dark and
light wood-will make a very pretty
receptacle for the flowers. Wild flow
GERS of all colors, those growing in the
woods, are appropriate and plentiful in
June. The city florists are always in
communication with persons who can
supply them when they are ordered.
The little pals have the additional adj
vantage that they may hold little wa
ter, for wild flowers wither SO quickly.
The wire handles should be bound with
ribbon and tied with bows.
The name cards of real birch bark
should have at the top the date of the
marriage and the present date and I'M
der these the guests names all written
In dark green ink. On the reverse side
of the one given to the bride her hus-
band might write the summing up of
all wifely duties, quoted from the ia
nous game of Goats, Peas and Beans
Now you're married, you must obey;
You must be true to all you say;
You must be loving, kind and good
And help your husband chop the wood
while the groom may be reminded of
his responsibilities in the same vein,
changing the first line
Now you're married, this happy day
and the last
And keep your wife in kindling wood.
The candle shades may be bought very
cheaply Of plain white crimped paper,
decorated with bits of evergreen. The
colors of the flowers should be repeated
in the bonbons and cakes, the green
background Of ferns harmonizing all
shades
The bride should wear her wedding
dress. The more old fashioned it be the
more interesting.

Summer Dresses.


A novelty is the open eyeleted en-
broidery on chambery.
Other embroideries in open wheel,
star or compass designs cover an entire
skirt of chambery. Cool ecru linens
came into such favor last summer that
they promise to be very generally worn
again in coat and jacket suits Of various
kinds. Many of the imported organdie
and dotted muslin dresses have plain
colored batiste or lawn for the waist
lining and foundation skirt instead of
the silk, on which they were formerly
mounted. Something Of the transpar-
epcy of the outer material is preserved
by this arrangement, and it makes a
much cooler dress for midsummer.
Very refined thin dresses are made of
new embroidered mulls, the white
ground wrought with rings of pink or
blue embroidery in lengthwise stripes
that curve and alternate with net stripes
woven in the null. The net stripes
have ladderlike edges that give the
effect of insertion sewed in with narrow
beading. White MORE ribbons and net
insertions trim these French gowns.
China MORE ribbons are very effective
accessories for muslin gowns. On white
dresses they may be white, with vague
pink tinted blossoms, or else the MORE
ground is clear green or light blue pow
dered with rosebuds.
Butter colored embroideries are shown
In the large shops as trimmings for
various summer gowns. They are done
On sheer null and come in both open
and close designs, sometimes with a
lacelike edge ON the points or scallops.

special claim Of originality is made, but

The deep, rounded molding at the
back of the board prevents any flour

ders the mixing board a suitable place
