Her sweet, musical voice with its fine

pathos, sentiment and humor.

gingham and velvet. Buttons again visi-
bic, and ribbons play an important part In
dressmaking economy. A waist can be trimmed
up aud down with three stripes of jet.ed dyed
ribbon. or the sleeves may be striped in that
way, leaving the dress plain. Bright colored
silks and satins, not fresh enough to use un-
covered, may be vailed with chiffon, lace,
grenadine, organdy. or eyelet cloth. Every
scrap of material almost, although ono must
not DO "Footy," may be utilized. However
there are such things as crazy-qults, and they
are well remembered SO it is better not to
look too much like one, and therefore to use
not more than three kinds of materials syn
enormously. Cloth, satin.i and lace, silk, lace
and spangled trimmings silk velvet and chif
fon, are allowable combinations and one may
add narrow jet trimmings or passementrcs to
any Of them, except when spangies are used.
Another point is to avoid the use Of two Kinds
of stripes or patterns in QUE frock. Never trim
any striped trimmings. Abrocade or patterned
material is prottiest trimmed with plain rib
bons, velvet, or chiffon. The patterns in laces
arc SO unobtrusiva that they do not count in
this philosophy of trimmings; as. for instance,
aflowered silk may be trimmed with lace very
prettiiy. The lowered ribbons, SO dainty in
themselves, are prettiest with plain material
or with one that has only the most indefinite
of lines or checks, aud no pattern that will be-
wilder the eye aud take from the beauty of the
