Extravaganza is the rule in evening dress. and
yet this element OF fashion helps out the scheme
OF remodelling old gowns with wonderful facll-
ity. since the old satin dress can be made quite
new by a covering of net or of any OF the gauze
materials so much worn. One very distin-
guished gown OF white satin has a skirt OF white
chiffon and another OF black net over 1t, which
has bands OF black satin ribbon in different
widths sewn around inside OF 1t. The black
silk bodice, embroidered in silver, has a white
chiffon front. tucked and edged with lace. ana
peach colored velvet rcvers at either side. Pink
In all its %prcttiest tints, from peach TO deepest
rose. is a tavorite color for evening wear. and most
effective on the black and white gowns. And
then there are all the rich reds and orange col
ors. melting into soft yellows, and the delicate
turquoise, blue 30 becoming on velvet. Green
with white or black is very stylish, and the
white satin gown shown has a green velvet
bodice with u white chiffon and lace front,
handsomely embroidered on the edge in gold
thread and mock Jewels and the skirt is trimmed
with bows OF white satin and lace. White
net rufles edged with narrow velvet ribbon in
any chosen color are used on white satin gowns,
and one now model has four RULES across the
front OF the skirt and is hounced to the waist in
the back. The bodice of satin Is pointed In front
and trimmed around the shoulders with the
same frills.
Odd bodices OF chiffon, silk, and velvet, to
wear with different skirts, are still with us, de-
spite all prophecies to the contrary. and very
pretty waists are made OF the new mousseline
de sole In turquoise blue, with insertions OF
cream lace set in around. instead Of up and
down, which is the usual way, and completed
by a belt of blue and mauve satin ribbon COM
bined. The bodice illustrated is OF blue chiffon,
embroidered with steel and Jet and finished
with black lace and u black velvet belt. Trans-
parent wrinkled sleeves are pretty for this sort
OF evening waist, and will make II a very useful
addition later on TO the summer wardrobe. A

hope that modern taste may stay the hand of
progress in this direction and allow the old
fashioned looming headdress to remain n men,
DRY. The hair is piled high on the head in loops
and twists which occasionally form the teapot
handle, worn below the crown OF tho head so
long, and the latest arrangement in front is
what Is called the divided pompadour. with q
few curling locks on the forehead.
The one feature of hairdressing which does
not change is the undulating wave all around
the head. This is so essentially becoming to
every woman that 1t Is likely to remain as long
as there is enough hair left to curl. Nothing
makes SO much difference in a woman's appear
ance as tho way her hair Is arranged, and of all
the arts exercised In behalf OF her good looks,
this is perhaps the most necessary to. her sue
cess In dressing becomingly. A fashion suita-
BILE only for n small oval face Is the mode OF
putting the hair out at the sides in an exagGer-
nted manner and doing 1t .up in a small knot or
bow-shaped loops on the top OF the head, or half
way between the crown and nape OF the neck,
as best suits your style.
Putfs and loops are arranged In various ways,
and n high wired transparent bow OF black net,
s%pangled with different colored paillettes, is an
effective decoration. One. two, or three feathers,
MS you like, standing M at the side, form
another fancy, and these should DO fastened
together by a jewelled pin.

linen cannot afford TO keep up with such expen-
sive fads. For them there are the plain dam
ask cloths, finished with open hemstitching,
which generally supplants the old hemming.
There 10 no such thing rs moderation in the
figured linens, which arc also made up in sets
or to retail by the yard. The patterns are either
very fine and delicate or very large, and they
are becoming, more and more works OF art.
Some of the designs are so intricate that they
are calculated to distract ones mind from q Door

Irish looms Is covered with the heur-de-lis.. A
graceful honeysuckle. border about n foot deep
hangs over the sides OF the table, and tho dinner
and tea, napkins match, the former being, hem
stitched, the latter fringed. Another design
has Immense peoples with long stems scattered
over It and n border of the same flowers stand
ing upright. Roses always work out we'll in
linen, and n handsome pattern has SPRAYS of
and rarlands OF tho ouecn Of tlowers Se.toon,
the real border. In the more delicate designs
small figures that appear at first to be Arabian
in design are tho thing. Close examination
proves, them to be n variety Of tiny blossoms
treated on Arabesque lines. 1t Is now possible

are twelve inches square, and both they and the

they are now considered quito out OF fashion.
Indeed the only things colored permissible in
table decoration are flowers and candles. White

the plain with n border of Mexican. Renals-

Creams, Carameis. SuEared Nuts. and Other
Delicious Sweets.

A dinner is not now regarded as complete IN
less the meal is finished with q taste of sweets.
maybe a French bonbon, sugar kisses. q simple
homemade nut cream. or n bite OF old fashioned
molasses candy. but sweets one must have.
Candies made at home are always enjoyed and
appreciated and give pleasant employment for
the young people in this holiday vacation.
Homemade candy sales are quite popular
among young women just Mt the present time
as n profitable and pleasant way of raising
money to helm some poor family or toward get
ting money for a missionary box. Perhaps the
following tried recipes may be welcomed by the
candy makers as well as lovers OF the sweets:
Fondant is the foundation for cream candies
and may be made and kept In closely covered
jars for some time, a portion being taken ont
at a time and fruits. grated cocoanut, or what
ever is desired being added to the creamed mix
ture. In this way a variety of candies may be
made with the same mixture.
To make this mixture moisten three cups or
graduated sugar with one and one-half cups of
water. putting them In a bright saucepan. Let
the pan and contents stand upon II side table
thirty minutes. then put over the fire, add a
large pinch OF cream OF tartar. and stir until
the sugar Is dissolved. Then place the pan
where the contents will boil slowly but not
burn and do not stir the mixture. III 1t seems
cooking too fast hold the pan up from the fire
for a moment. When the syrup has boiled a
short time test 1t by dipping n stick into the
liquid syrup and then dipping the stick into
cold water. II tho mixture can be rolled up
like soft putty it has cooked sufficiently, and
should be taken from the fire at once. Turn
the mixture out into a shallow earthern dish or
upon a marble and knead or stir with a wooden
spoon until IL is a smooth. soft. creamy mass.
1t is then ready to mould In any form desired.
When tho mixture is pressed with the finger
1t should be soft enough to leave a dent; II IL 10
at all brittle II Is too long cooked, and should
have a spoonful of water ADDED TO it and be
cooked II few moments moro.
An experienced candy maker says II is best
not to have anything boiling upon the stove
that will throw Off steam when sugar is cooking
for fondant, and in the summer season do not
select q damp. rainy day for this work. An
uncooked foBdant Is easily and quickly made,
ard is satisfactory II used Immediately. A
cooked sugar makes u softer and more creamy
mixture.
For the uucooked mixture, beat the whites of
two eggs TO a froth, add as much water as there
were sggs before they were beaten, aad then

up. and while there Is much less full
ness in the skirt itself. so much is required
for Ruling that the necessary quantity of
material is increased very much. SILK gauze OF
heavy quality is used for these nounces, and
they are hemmed, Killed. and graduated, giving
the shape of a bell to the skirt when finished.
One full deep founce TO the knee is another
skirt trimming. and this has n ruche or tiny
rufles around the bottom to give the extra
frou-frou at the foot. This is an especially
pretty style for net skirts, made loose from the
silk foundation except at the waist; and n tiny
box-plaited ruche at the top and three around
the bottom make a pretty finish.
The first gown illustrated is of black Mechlin
net, with three ruches on the skirt and a coral
colored velvet bolero and wide belt. embroid-
cred with silver and cream lace. a pretty waist
model for a yellow and white brocade Is fully
covered with Renaissance lace, banded across
with yellow satin ribbon. Another evening
waist of white chiffon is crossed in front and on
the belt with green velvet ribbon, studded with
gold beads. and pale green satin ribbon forms
the epaulettes over the sleeves. The wide en-
broidered black velvet belts are very effective
on light evening waists. and q novel finish for
the neck is q broad bow OF satin ribbon with an
edge OF black velvet.
White tulle. made over white satin or tafIeta
silk. is the ideal gown for q young girls first
ball gown. and q white satin belt, sash, and
sleeves made with two short puirs. are u good
finish, with tiny pink roses or chains of daisies
for decoration. The square cut low neck Is per-
haps the most popular this season, but the
women who have pretty shoulders favor the
round neck, which serves better to display their
charms. Dinner gowns are sometimes made
with the square open neck in front and a high
back, with the becoming Medici collar richly
embroidered. but the bunch ot flowers at one
side is invariably used, and they must be OF the
finest quality or their mission is lost.

bodice for a colored cloth gown is made OF al
ternate bands of velvet, the same color. and

bands are nearly an inch and a half wide when
finished. and are folded on either edge to form a
tiny piping. The foundation bodice is Of white
silk. and the outside fits over It plainly in tho

A twist of rose pink velvet at the neck, with

those who renovate their last summers gowns

TO freshen up a h%alf-worn dress rather
than to bring out its defects. A pretty pale blue
