than they were and not so wide. A double
ruche of black net and an inner one of
white lace is very effective on some gowns.
| These little fri.ls are shown in the shops
made of chiffon net and lace all plated
! into band ready to haste inside the collar
Loops of ribbon are still used at the back
of dressy gowns, with the lace ruche
| falling between, and one pretty neck fin
| ish is two quarter of a yard lengths of
four-inch black satin ribbon cut with
slanting ends and plated on one edge in
a small double box plat, forming two lit
tie frills meeting in the back, and the
lace, which begins narrowly in the Sides
falls over these. The tucked collar bands
are very pretty with simply the lace ruche
in the edge, and the knot effect in front
is another fancy this season which IS very
pretty on some gowns. Linen collars are
still worn with shirt waists but the stock
collar of silk, with a narrow turnover col
lar of linen is by far the most fashionable
The sort of finish is seen on almost every
| bodice intended especially for morning
wear. The narrow linen collar comes in
great variety, plain, hemstitched, and
with tiny insertions in lines of embroidery
little way from the edge, and trimmed
with lace. Then there are various shapes
in linen lawn with insertions and edgings
of lace, and embroidered edges as well
Stocks made of the silk like the bodice tied
IN SOFT bow with hemstitched ends in
front, and a narrow linen collar turned
over the edge, are in excellent taste as well
as good style. Ribbon is used for stocks
with the order of last season reversed and
the bow tied in front, and the same narrow
linen collar is the finish with narrow
cuffs to match.
Orange juice can be made to serve as a
most delicious drink for luncheons if only
little thought and time be spent upon it,
! Tall glasses are filed one-thrd full with
/ finely cracked ice, over which orange
| juice is poured till the liquid is brought to
| the half measure. A siphon of vichy Of
/ fered frequently to add to the juice gives
bubble and foam to the drink, which
/ completes its relish. Orange Juice chilled
/ in ice and salt and served in tall glasses,
with strawberry. slice of banana,
| grape cut and seeded, die of pineapple
or any seasonable treatment with fruit
is another agreeable drink to sip through
| luncheon in lieu of wine Woman who
are careful of their compilations know the
harm to them of wine-drinking, and much
| prefer fruit-juice decoctions. The Juice
may be chilled sufficiently by putting il
in a tin pan and placing that in a pan. with
| a layer of ice and salt to the depth of a
couple of inches on the bottom, for n
! hour before luncheon. Watch that the
! freezing point is not reached, as may
/ happen if there is too much ice and salt
/ to the amount of juice
The Boston Transcript has recently pub
| lshed an old riddle which is said to have
! appeared years ago in an English period
! zeal Within few years the same riddle
/ was brought up in a certain circle of a
! large New England town, with the result
that the rhymes for a time We're on every
ones tongue. So far as known, no one
ever guessed the answer. Here 1t is:
Come and commiserate
One who was blind,
| Homeless and desolate
| Void of a mind:
| Guileless, deceiVing
| Through unbelieving
Free from all sin;
BY mortals adored,
Still l ignored
The world l was in.
