SWEET SIMPLICITY THE RULE.
Washable Gowns Made Up in FxtreIn
Plainncss That 20 Becoming.

PlaInncss That 80 Becoming.
The tendency to make up wash goods
according to the severity in vogue for
wool material is increasing. Linens,
ducks, cllambrays, challicS and all the
wash weavcs OF silk are made up with
strict severity, and the effect is ckarm-
ing. A favorite design has little
round bodice cut down to Is pointat tho
waist in front to show vest. and four
buttons are set almost at the waist line
in front TO carly ous the effect of an
oyerrarnent. The vest is usually a
prim affair Of moirc, even with wash
material for the rest Of tho gown. but
sometimes it is dainty front of null,
gauze or chiffon. accordion plnited ana
gathered into high collar. a pretty
finish provides the outer part of the
bodice with u Understanding collar, un-
der which the collar of the front passes
as it extends to the back.
Black watcred silk ard slate-colorcd
cloth are combined in the dress.
The undcrsiSirt is from the latter, and
the drapca oversl1irt is ornamental
with two MORE ribbon rOsettcs. which
hold the folds IN place. The bod,ca
fastenS in the center and a plastron Of
white mousscline dc sole laps over. y
large directoire bow Of the mousseline
is placed at the neck, and the revers
are attached to 4 tured-dOwn collar,
both OF the silk The pulled sleeves
have epaulettes OF Ale1S:on point lace.
# one can not afford really fine silk
stockings then it is just as VOL not to
have silk at all, but to be content with
fine Isle. Cotton stretches, and after
the first wearing does not fit about the
ankle Lisle fits as well and lasts
longer than silk. II is the proper thing
to wear on the street 18th the ru sset
shoes now in vogue. The shoe should
be SO dark that brown stocking suits.
Caters must not be worn unles they
match the shoe. White duck and brown
linen are shown, to go over shoes made
to order from the dress goods.-N. Y.

A Summer Portiere.

An effective and simple drapery for
the doorway Of the summer home can
be arranged with the help Of few
brass rings attached to screw eyes.
The rings must be big, but they can be
bought from an upholster. They should
be screwed into the woodwork on the
open space, one at each end, and one,
two, or more between, as the space de-
mands, then the drapery pulled
through and arranged in lalnbrequin
effect. One seen recently is in the
simplest cottage, but is charming in
extreme. The material is double
faced cretonne in hues Of sage green.
It is slipped through the rings and
made to hang in q succession Of grace
full curves, which entirely robs the
doorway of badness at the same time
that no air is excluded from the rooms.
