Fashion Notes.

New very pretty inch-wide squares OF open
canvas-like silk that require a taffeta lining
are among the novelties in summer fabrics
Italian silks and plain satins are very pop
ular, and French silks, which have had the
lead so long, find a formidable rival in the
artistic designs, soft coloring, and beautiful
lustre of those which are produced In
Italy.
Poplinette, which is silk and wool woven
with a cord like Irish poplin, except that the
cords are very fine and the fabric light and
thin. Is a novelty this season, and comes In
light grounds with scroll designs in dark
cOlors,
A pretty design for organdie, batiste or
foulard shows a square collar made OF bands
of the material and lace insertion. The eff
feet is prettier in the batiste or a white
organdie showing a colored SILK or dlnlty
lining underneath.
Tinsel threads are woven in some of the
silks. but the newest Of all are the MORE
brocades in various patterns, one OF which is
conventionalized peoples more luxurlant in
size and dainty In coloring than any nature
has ever produced.
Surahs, or a silk which is something be-
tween a maryeilleux and a surah, is prophe-
sled as one OF the popular silks, and MORE
taffeta Is one of the novelties; II shows a
fine cross-line stripe ana is very effective
in both light and dark colors.
Entire skirts are cut in circular shape,
then accordion pleated; other shapes are
gored or have fancy side panels, and so on
ininitum and there Is neither shape,
height, style nor taste that cannot be ex-
actly suited this season.
There Is a rage for tucked bodies Of silk
or very light wool materials, and for the
organizes, swiss, muslins, india
linens, and other thin textiles. The upper
portion OF the bodice Will be tucked In
groups OF three or five, with bands of lnser-
ton set between TO form the deep yoke, that

Useful and Timely Hints for Home

| Useful md Timely Hints for Home
D~ressmalxe
Just at present the sleeve question Is one
! of absorbing interest to all womankind, and
to the home dressmaker it is more or less
of a difficulty unless she is properly en-
lightened.
OF course, everybody recognizes the fact
that the large sleeve is a thing of the past
and that a gown is no longer really stylish
that is encountered with them. 1t is an easy
matter, however, to cut them over If one
| only understands how, ard a pattern is not
needed in many cases. With the sleeves
/ made smaller q last years gown takes a new
lease of life and comes out fresh and smart,
for in other ways gowns have not changed
in any striking manner.
| The new small sleeves are so varied that
all tastes can easily be pleased, and one
has a fine opportunity to use up scraps of
silk. velvet and ribbon, for many of the
more fancy models have a combination Of
materials in their makeup.
Any of the large, old-style leg o. mutton
or balloon sleeves will easily furnish ample
material for the small sleeves of present
fashion, and worn places may be avoided,
only the best Of the goods being put into
the new sleeves, by following the diagram
given here.
The la-ge, outer part Of the sleeve is cut
across the top on the line A B, and this is
made to form the puff shown in the drawing
of the new sleeve. The lower part of the
outer large leg O. mutton is cut to fit the
inner lining to which it and the top puff are
sewn. This is one of the most popular
tsleeves in vogue at present and is the easiest
to make. 1t may be left perfectly plain or
dressed up as much as one likes, for a great
deal of trimming on sleeves is very fashion
able. II the sleeve Is of wool goods, little
puffs of bias silk may be set on an inch
apart, covering gracefully any worn or stained
| places. Another fancy is to have many rows
of velvet ribbon set an inch apart, or little
frills of narrow lace. All sleeves are made
long over the hands, either the bottom of
the sleeve itself being long, or made to ap-
pear so by a frill of silk, lace, chiffon or
whatever one fancies.
Very little stiffening is used, and it is
confined entirely to the top of the puff, a
| straight piece of stiffening three inches deep
and eighteen inches long being gathered into
| the armsize along with the sleeve; this
sets out sufficiently to keep the puff from
dropping.
| SOME MODEL GOWNS.
Three gowns are illustrated here, each
with new and pretty sleeves, that can be
made from old ones and none of them too
difficult for the clever home dress
maker.
The lace-trimmed gown is Of rather
coarse spring wool goods in a deep, warm
brown, and it has a deep waist-band and

pianoforte should stand with its curved side
to the room, and its plain side next the

pianoforte. No musical people ever put
vases and ornaments and books upon this
shrine of music, for they rattle, absorb the
sound, deaden the tone, and worry the per-
former. The case and the keyboard should
be kept free from dust. To make the polish
shine, rub the wood with a soft and old
silk handkerchief, and TO clean a pianoforte
use warm water, soap and a flannel rag.

The lace which trims II is a heavy ecru
variety and Is web lace, which makes 1t
much cheaper and more convenient to use
for the sleeves and straps. Three-quarters
or a whole yard is a sufficient pattern.
The sleeves are snug fitting nearly to the
shoulder. where a pun of goods Is let into
a pointed cut. The sleeve is very long and
finished in a point over the hand with a frill
Of heliotrope silk for finish. The lace Is
laid over a lining Of heliotrope, either silk

straight shoulder straps of lace are also
over heliotrope. They are exactly alike,

1t is hardly an ~exaggeration to say that
in every house there is a'pianoforte, and it
is not extravagant to say that only one per-

valuable instrument. Even people who are

of the pianoforte as well as for any musician
who may be asked to play upon ito have
it tuned at least once in two months. The

ness, and, in fact, the air is always an
enemy to the great mass of sensitive springs

be placed in a dry room, quite away from
possible drafts and not too near a fire. Heat
not only tends to warp and crack the case,
which, being highly infiammable, is apt to
ignite, but any increase or decrease of tenn
p~erature affects the strings and brings them
out of tune, exactly as does excessive dry
