DAINTY MORNING GOWNS.
Less the Wrapper and mOrc the Neat
Fitting Dress Than Formerly.

Fitting Dress Than Formerly.
Everybody should bear in mind that
the most essential point in attaining a
well-dressed appearance is to study con-
sistency and becomingness, as well as
the latest modes in cut and fabrics.
The gov for the morning may be of
the most expensive material, yet il it
be of fabrics designed for evening wear,
and made after the style of street or
reception costume, both time and
money have been thrown away in the
effort to make something suitable to
the time.
The morning house gown, and espe-
cially that of thin, airy, flowing ma
. terials, has an irresistible fascination
for the esthetic woman. If she is sue
cess in this neglige dress, she pretty
well understands the art of selecting,
in color and style, the gown that best
harmonizes with her surroundings and
her own individuality, and she wears
it with the air of never having consld-
cred the effect at all.
The morning gown affected by the
women of to-day is less the wrapper and
more the dainty dress, in which one
can appear with all propriety outside
the door of her own boudoir. In it she
is appropriately gnwned; and while 1t
is not StiiTnned with bones, stays and
interlinings, the contour OF the figure
is not entirely hidden, as in the days
when the Mother-Hubbard wrapper
went swirling in uneven fullness and
slOvenIy fold about her feet and waist.
Not that we wholly condemn this com
Portable lounging-g gown, which, when
Used in that capacity, is comfort
giving garment; but let its use be con-
fined to the lounging-room, and not at
the breakfast table or for the reception
of morning callers. The woman who is
carefully and becomingly gowned in
the "arly morning not only adds great
ly +. her appearance, from the point OF
good dressing, but takes on more
youthful appearance, and the effect she
has upon those around her is by far
more pleasing than if she has the look
of having had just time enough tot throw
on a wrapper and reach the morning
room to snatch bite with the rest of
the household.
At no time is the morning house gown
more appreciated than in warm wealth
er, when even the most comfortable OF
outdoor garments seems unbearable.
Its very daintiness makes one cool, and
when the thinnest materials are used
with the lacest of trimmings, the de-
light of the wearer is only equaled by
the pleasing effect the tout ensemble
has upon others. IE autumn and win
ter months the house gown, while quite
as dainty, takes on more substantial
and close-ftting air, suggesting warmth
and coziness. Richer and warmer col
ors are generally used, though many
women cling to the dainty, delicate
tints and pure white all the year round.

BRlSTLES FROM ABROAD.
American Hog Not Capable of Fur
nishing the Supply Needed Here.

nlenlnS tne supply Neeueu heTe'
Almost all the bristles used in this
country in the manufacture of brushes
are imported, and Notwithstanding the
increased production of pork in this
country the supply of American bris-
ties is now even smaller than it for
merly was. Hogs are fattened and
killed young in this country, and with
the constant and widespread improve
nent of the breeds here the hogs have
cun less to bristles. Some extensive
packers collect bristles, but the Ameri-
,an supply is probably less than one
per cent. of the consumption. The
longest American bristles are about
~ inches in length.
Imported bristles come from various
parts Of Russia, but most largely from
Poland and North Germany. Some
finer soft bristles come from France.
The bulk of the supply comes from cold
countries, where the hogs are well
pl otccted by thick coats, and many Of
the hriStles are those of wild hogs. The
hogs shed their coats as many other
animals do, and there are men who
gather the bristles Of wild hogs. know
ing their haunts and where the bristles
are to be found Other bristles are col
ected in the usual manner when the
hogs are killed. The bristles are sub
jected to various processes of curing
and preparation before they become
commercial bristles and ready for the
market.
Imported bristles range from 31s to
w inches in length. Various vegetable
tibers are now used extensively in the
manufacture of cheaper brushes, but
for many uses bristles are indisPens-
able and their importation continues
