The "needies' are hait crushed and give

Drop them at once into the bathtub-

Get in the tub and stay there fully a
half hou it is a most delightful occu-
patton, and while you are enjoying 1t
your nostrils are greatfully shifting in
the rich, healthful pine odor and your
lungs are fairly r~eveling in the sweet,
pine ~impregnated air. Do not rub the
body on leaving the bath, but dry 1t by
applying soft old damask towels to it.
Slip into a soft linen night robe, rub
pure cold cream over the face and lie
down for an hour.
Shirtwaists are a necessary part of all
golf costumes, and of course there is no
end to the different colors and materials.
AT the moment the fad seems to be the
white Madras and fancy skirtings.
These are made with pointed yoke in
the back, extending well forward over
the shoulders, and with the full fronts
gathered into the yoke: sleeves of
medium size, turned over white collar
and stiff necktie.
Some few dark silk shirtwaists are
seen, worn by older women. One pretty
costume of black serge, with shirtwaist
of black silk, was extremely attractive,
worn with the white linen collar and
the plain black leather belt.
A gray linen skirt with shirtwaist of
gray silk was also uncommonly smart.
But the waists of wash materials have
many advantages which give them the
first place in popular fancy. The pink
Madras waists Cast years craze) are
still fashionable, while the bright plaids
are occasionally-very occasionally, for
tunately-seen.
The black and white stripes are, smart,
also, while, of course, the many shades
of heliotrope are omnipresent, and are
worn without the slightest regard as to
the color or material of the skirt. The
sleeves must be as small as possible
in the shirts worn while golfing, for too
much material interferes with the
exaggerated about the costume in any
way.
Where shall the business woman spend
her vacation? OF course, circumstances
greatly alter cases, but it may be safely
said that a good many tired brain work.
ers nave lost the full benefit of the
resting time by going among friends
and relatives who make affectionate de-
mand upon time and strength.
My sisters o'clock breakfast spoiled
my vacation" said a newspaper woman
who went to the country to rest two
weeks ago. Next year / am going out
on a farm somewhere and give orders
that I am not to be called in the morn
ing, however late / may Sleep
1t seems a poor return to make for
hospitality to sleep away the morning
hours. One wants to see the friends OF
the family when they call. And yet
what the tired body clearly demands is
rest. Therefore, oh! amiable friend, do
not deem the business woman of your
acquaintance disregardful of your gra-
cious hospitality if she resoiutely turns
her back on all its alurements and sets
her face toward some quiet spot, there
to vegetate.
I hear that the Russian blouse or
moujik is to be much worn during the
late summer season. One made for
dressy occasions is of white cashmere, to
be worn over a skirt of the same. The
coat part has long insertions of guipure
lace, deep cream in color, let in at in
tervals all round, and lined with pale
green gIace silk, which shows through.
The collar has similar decorations, and
in front is a pretty lace jabot over pale
green chiffon. Then there is a basque of
long tabs, all finished with lines OF lace
insertion. The belt is of green lizard
skin, with a buckle of green enamel,
studded with small. single Partisan dia-
monds.
The old fashion Of having all parts Of
a costume to match in shade is being
revived. OF late entire toilets of beige.
gray or cornflower blue have appeared
and are decidedly effective. OF course, 1t
is best carried out in the delicate shades,
as the effect of such a costume in q
pronounced color would be rather glar-
ing. Ecru Is easily carried out in pale
linen, embroidered in white, the collar
and sash being of white and the hat of
