Washing Cotton Dresses.

II cotton dresses are properly made
there is no reason why they should not
be washed many times. To make up
satines and ginghazns with boned
basques, heavily lined skirts and vel
vet bound edges is an absurdity Bod
ices and skirts may be made together,
betting in by means of a draw ribbon,
which, being loosened, reduces the
gown to straight lines without folds.
The frills and hounces about the shout
ders are all set on draw ribbon head
ings, and can also be let out fat The
big sleeves are supplied with an arm
hole set with draw ribbon. by which
it is narrowed for wear and widened
for washing. Serpentine bodices are
used also for wash dress designs. these
bodiees being practically two straight
sash pieces. There are no bones
Lace, if used on these gowns, is of good
heavy, washable really more to be used
than lace. If ribbon is employed it is
made into bows easily adjusted and re-
moved. or it is used under insertion of
lace or embroidery, and so can be pulled
out when the gown goes to the tub

WHAT CONSTITUTES "sTYLE."
Why Would q Woman Prefer Being Stylish
TO Pretty?

| Why Would q Woman Prefer Being Stylish
TO Pretty?
Just what constitutes the most desir-
able quality of style is very hard to de-
termine. Whether it is inbOrn only, or
whether it may be acquired, is very
important question, as it is possession
that many women deem of greater i'm
portance than beauty itself. Ask any
average woman whether she would
rather be pretty or stylish" and she
will choose the latter qualification al
most invariably. 1t is the intangible
something that gives grace and dis
tinction whereby the wearer of cot
ton frock may look better dressed than
the woman clothed in silk and velvet,
and. if in rich attire, will outshine all
rivals.
English women do not often have
s'style." IT would like to show you
the gowns I am sending to England
for the season." said N. Worth to an
American customer, as he threw open
the door of his own special atelier,
where dozen or more of the most sn
perb dresses were carefully displayed
on wire forms for the last critical
survey of the artist, and for a private
view to few privileged clients. "You
would never know them again." he
continued ruefully. my dear coun-
trywomen lack style awfuliy, and I
have not a half dozen customers in
London that I can trust to do my
gowns justice"
To come back to the question as to
whether or not style can be acquired,
it may be said that in certain meas
ure it may be. Carriage, for instance,
has an immense effect on style. and
that certainly can be cultivated. A
dowdy woman rarely has a good poise
of the head and neck, and never walks
gracefully, and although grace and
style are not at all synonymous, it is
impossible to have the one without a
certain amount of the other, says a
writer in the New York Tribune. AS
grace or carriage is successfully taught
by those who understand the principle,
no doubt style also might be analysed,
and growing girls instructed in the
why and the wherefore of this
most coveted characteristic

: DOOM OF THE BATH TUB.
Addition of the Future VIII Be by Rain
md So<t


and Shower Bath.
The dwelling house of the future,
constructed on scientific and hygienic
principles, will be bathtubless. The
porcelain-lined and zinc-lined and tin
lined tubs of to-day will be unknown.
Their place will be taken by tiled
room, l.; in which win be arranged show
er or rain baths at various angles.
These,douches will supply hot, cold or
tepid water at the pleasure of the bath
er, and the-fiquid Will be carried off as
fast as it is used by spacious drain
pipe. The idea is not new one, but
it is good one, and wherever it has
been adopted.the result has been graft
flying. Thereare three houses in Lon
don, recently completed, supplied with
this method of bathing, and there is
said to be one in Philadelphia.
: 1t is claimed for the rain bath that it
is in every way superior to the method
we have known since civilization be-
gan, and this has been proven in many
public institutions. The first one ever
built in America was put in the New
York Juvenile asylum. The Demilt
Ids OlltIl. d1iU 50 has Inc
bathing establishment erected by the
Baron Hirsch fund at Henry and Mar
ket streets. One of the largest rain
baths in the country is now in course
of construction in the state hospital
for the insane, at Utica, and it is pre-
dicted that within very few years all
prisons and hospitals will have adopted
the system.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the rain bath is William Paul Gerhard,
who has made study of its advan-
tages. In the first place, he says that
it requires less space in the planning
of bathhouse, it consumes less time
in application, the body of the bather
does not come in contact with soiled
water, the mechanical and tonic effect
of the descending stream is unoues-
tionable, the cleansing and stimulating
effects are greater than in a bathtub,
less water is required and no time is
lost in waiting for the filing of a tub !
in houses where the supply is slow !

'rhey haTe also an Official motto: "Foe
God and Home and Every Land"
When the party reach Asia pains Will
be taken to impress upon the effete DO
tentates of the east the necessity for
limitation Of the traffic in opium. In
this respect the women will have ex-
ceptional advantages, as they may OBJ
viously go to lengths in denunciation
which the official heads of governme nts
would not dare attempt. 1t is in this
respect that the crusade is looked upon
with no small interest by Secretary
Gresham, as he believes that it can be
instrumental in putting an end to g
trade which Is known to be causing the
ruin of large numbers Of men and vvon-
en- physically add morally. The growth
OF the opium habit among civilized peo-
pie will be shown to have attained
amazing proportions through the petit
ton, which Is the first really intexua-
tional protest ever made against It.
Viceroy Ii Hing Chang Of China has
favornbly received a request made to
him by the eminent Chinese diplomat.

TONERS hearing in their denunciation
of the opium evil. 1t Is expected that
when the crusaders reach Japan there
may be need Of some negotiation. as
the new constitution has brought into
power there an element which is not
favorable to any restriction of the
opium trade The Japanese do not
seem to care what becomes of tho
opium consumers after they pay for
their opium
All the colonial governments of Aus
tralia will be petitioned on the return
journey. The women Of that island
continent have long taken q great IN
terest in the crusade, and arrange
raents are making for q reception to
them in the city hall at Melbourne.
There will also be welcome to New
Zealand from the women officials of
that colony.
AS for the persons who have aided
either by their signatures or their in
huence in the organization of this
crusade, they come from all over the
world. In England the young duchess
OF cfoSk has written an article for a
magazine requesting the cooperation
OF all Christian women in the move
ment. Mrs Gladstone was one Of the
first to sign the petition which Will be
borne around the world. This immense
parchment, or. rather, compilation OF
individual petitions, will be in the
form Of hinge cylinder rob.
