MUSLIN GOWN IN LOUIS XVI STYLE.

wide spreading collars, berthas and
Marie Antoinette fichus of silk and
null, is a well defined indication of the
revival which seems imminent.
Fichus are especially pretty and eff
fective additions to all thin summer
gowns, and if made after the latest
models they are cut little low in the
neck in front, V shape, but round and
high in the back, and whether the fictlu
is made i'll the form of a full collar or q
square shawl, with rounded corners and
long ends to cross in front, it follows
the shape of the neck in the quaint
pretty style Of old. Lace rufTles or tiny
frills of the same material are the usual
finish for all fichus, and one particular
advantage Of this article of dress is that
it is equally pretty for elderly and for
young ladies. For the former it is made
of black net, silk muslin or grenadine
and draped soft over the shoulders, dis
playing narrow V shaped neck of
white lace or chiffon in front.
Gowns for garden parties are often
made in the new a1pacas, which are
very glossy and coarse in texture. White
alpaca is much affected. Plain batiste
in various colors prevails in summer
gowns and is made up over silk Black
and white striped silks, light colored
taffetas, glace silks, grenadines, Gre
pons, pique, canvas and dainty muslins
Of all kinds are the materials which
make up the medley of dress in the fash
ionable world. Muslin and batiste gowns
being the most interesting just at the
present. the New York Sun illustrates
a recent model carried out in pink and
green. Two narrow ruff1es trim the
skirt, which is very full and gored a
very little. The sleeves are modernized
editions of the Louis XVI style, with
two puffs to the elbow. The plain, full
bodice is cut with low, V shaped neck
in front, and the Marie Antoinette fichu
of muslin is trimmed like the gown,
with ruffles of white point esprit lace.
Pink ribbon forms the belt.
Yellow dotted muslin mounted over
yellow silk makes a pretty garden party
gown, with whitervalenciennes lace to
trim the ruffies and vandyl1e collar of
yellow batiste. Yellow ribbon forms
the belt and sash ends in the back,
while the collar band is of blue mauve
velvet, giving the gown very French
appearance. The authority quoted also

number to do the interviewing. The
delegate, it happened, bears the time
honored name of Smith. Calling one
of the junior assistant stewards, Mr..
Smith handed him his card, with the
request to take it to Mr.. Bayard, at
the same time dropping a dime and
nickel as a tip into the boys out

away while the reporters awaited the
issue with complacency In few
minutes he returned and extended the

A WOMAN DENTIST.
Hiss Ireland Pioneer in Still Another
Profession

M1sS Ireland Pioneer in Still Another
Profession.
Miss Alice E. Ireland, of West 44th
street, New York, has chosen for her
profession one that hitherto has been
left entirely to men. Miss Ireland is
dentist. A woman dentist is a novelty
even in this age of new women. But
there is no reason why women should
not be successful in this profession as
well as in others, for none calls more
for gentieness, patience and tender
heartedness.
Miss Ireland is a tall, slender young
woman with blue eyes and dark hair.
She is extremely modest about speak
ing of herself or her work, although
she is very enthusiastic in an imper-
sonal way over her profession. She is
a regular graduate in dentistry and dis
plays ''shingle" in the front window
OF her pretty house. Children's teeth
are her specially, and to the care of the
little ones molars, incisors, cusplds
and bicuspids she devotes her skill and
time. She is not one of those who be-
lieves that the first set or milk" set
should be allowed to take care of them
selves. She has pronounced views on
this subject and declares that it is
most important matter for mothers to
preserve the first set. Care in this re-
spect, she contends, will have benef-
cial effect on the second teeth, making
them stronger, more regular and more
enduring.
A child almost always has a fear of
the dentist, and by reason of this fear
Miss Ireland says women have before
them a great chance in dentistry. She
says that children nearly always have
less fear OF a woman than of a man,
and place greater confidence in her
Women know how to manage children
better than men do. The child knows
this, and has less fear when in the
chair of a woman dentist.

MOREEN SKIRT. FLANNELETTE UNDERsK1RT.
ing it up that most women are wearing
petticOats of silk, or of the mOreen that
is watered and has a look of MORE an
tique.
A quite new skirt, sketched and de-
scribed in The Ladies' Home Journal,
is made of white moreen and is to be
worn under cotton, silk or any light
weight material that will not stand a
stiff lining. It is cut by the godet pat
tern and has as decoration three box
plaitings of the white haircloth, the top
one having as a finish thick silk cord.
This seems a rather expensive skirt but
it will be found very useful, especially
to the woman who likes pretty cotton
toilets.
The advice of physicians, as we'll as
the teaching of experience, has convinced
the average woman that it is wise to
wear a wooden skirt the entire summer
through. Flannelette, which is in real
ity a flannel with large proportion of
cotton in it, is shown in what might be
called dresden colors, so faint and deli
cate are they. They are in stripes, often
simple hairines, and sometimes lines
one-quarter of an inch wide are seen.
Blue and white, pink and white and
brown and white are contrasts seen,
while a pale blue ground will have
stripes of pink and brown upon it, and
a pink one white and blue. These petit
coats are invariably made by hand and
are trimmed with either a coarse woven
or knitted lace These skirts reach quite
to the knees and do not require all outer
skirt if ones skirt is lined with silk or
if one wishes only to wear a skirt of
haircloth. One of these petticoats illus
trated by the authority already quoted
has pale pink ground, with hairlines
of blue and brown upon it. The edge
finish is the Roman crocheted lace, sew
en- colors being blended, the pink being
most prominent. The belt is of pink
ribbon and the drawing strings are of
soft pink ribbon an inch wide. Some
what heavier f1annels than this are III
white, blue, pink and gray and are Sc
lected when a warmer skirt is required.
Such petticoats are usually trimmed
with valenciennes lace and ribbon in
sertion.
