The rocking chair feet of the seaside
hotel piazza is already getting ready its
summer fancy work.
Embroidering homogeneous on fine liner
is to be one sort OF needlework; and knit
ting woolly golf stockings Is another.
Between the two extremes come lace
work and the recently viz ribbon en-
broidery.
A modern development of ribbon wori
comes to US from Paris.
In 1t the designs are carried out in rib
bons of about half an inch in width. tho
effect being, of course. holder and more
quickly obtained han with the narrow
rocco ribbons, which a hitherto bee
the only medium for the execution of this
special kind of work.
The difference between the narrow and
the wide ribbon work is in effect like that
of a decorative painting in oils n a
delicately painted miniature.
A totally different style of design IS re-
CURED for the new work, bold and broad
" decorative designs being most effec-
tive, whereas the special beauty of the
older style lies in its minute and realistic
deiicacy. A specimen of the broad ribbon

carried out in wide pink ribbons, laid
down with fine gold cord. Sprays Of
pink heather. in fine ribbon work. with
stems formed of gold cord, are inter-

The ribbons used in the new work are
of a peculiar texture, somewhat resem-

rather dull surface, which imparts i
charming softness to the delicate tints
produced in a wide range of artistic
colors.
Ribbon work is so much used now as
dress trimming that the ambitious wom-
an has special reasons for liking his
fancy work.

In the course of her lessons on Cook
cry for Girls in the June "Woman's
Home Companion Sallie Joy White con-
trasts the experience of the novice in
-cake-baking in the home and school
Kitchens
1T usually happens that the very first
thing a young cook undertakes to do IS
to make cake. l can't tell you why this
is so universally the case, but the fact
remains undisputed and i~ndisputable. /
dare say, however, one reason is that
every detail follows so quickly one upon
another that the result is quickly at
tanned. 1t happens, too, very many times
that after the cake mixture is compound
for baking. And the. mixing is only one
half the work; the least important half,
too, fer any cake, however elaborate,
may be spoiled by careless baking, while
the simplest one may be made fine and
nice by attention while it is in the oven.
But in the school kitchens the cake
making. or, indeed, the mixing Of any
batters, is not taught until the pupils
have mastered the stove, learned to make
and keep a fire. and to cook simple food
withclt mixing. In this way the teaching
is made systematic, and is thoroughly I'M
derstood."
The very latest bodice evolved during
the past two weeks is a short basque
pack and a slightly bloused front which
modistes are showing in silk and cotton
materials for those firing of round
waists.
The desire for something new" that
ever salutes a dressmaker's ears is found
in the design for a taffeta odd waist
trimmed with black velvet ribbon No. 2,
using Is yards of ribbon and 6 yards of
silk. The waist is laid in side plaits
that are pressed fatty. cut in points on
the lower edge and the ribbon sewed on.
A yoke collar of very fine plaits is of
the same shape, back and front, cut in
squares on the edge and trimmed with
the ribbon which eappear on tabs above
the tucked collar and covers the cuff on
the bishop sleeves. Belt of the silk, rib
bon edged and fastened with a jet clasp
at the back. The waist fastens invisi-
bly, over the centre front plat.
A princess gown of golden brown CASH
mere has a dartless front. giving it a
blouse erect, with d Ddlu lTttliiililS VI
lighter cashmere around the neck, down
the centre front and around the edge of
the skirt; upon this is an applique of
brown satin bordered with brown SPAN
giles. v and collar lining of pink taffeta
in cross tucks, lace eravat and belt of
brown velvet with jeweled buckles. Prin-
cess gowns require a soft material and
are gaining ground among the modistes.
Taffeta wais ze lately made with a
fchu effect or two accordion plated
ruffles and one on the lower edge form
ing a tiny basque. Sleeves and yoke of
guipure lace.
The tan shoe, we are told on good au-
thority, will be more popular than ever
this summer for feminine wear. and the
woman who prides herself on being cor
rect on all occasions will be shod ex-
clusively in tan oxford ties, with her
linen gown, and in high laced shoes of
the same color for golf or wheeling.
Pointed toes-that is, the razor points
are quite out Of date, and in their stead
are worn a slender, rounded toe, very be-
coming to the foot. and, fortunately for
the wearer, following the outlines of the
foot as Mother Nature intended.
Some of the newest shoes are made with
patent leather yamps and tan-colored
tons. and a fancy of the momen is for.
black patent leather tips laced with white
silk. White shoes will be much aneeted
by the summer girl both for morning and
