Semi-toilets for June naturally sug-

the two dresses in the sketch. One of
these is the palest pearl gray in tone,
lightly decorated with sprays of small
briar roses. Over a Slip of Rose du
Barry pink silk or muslin the organdy
is made, and trimmed with nothing
more elaborate than black Liberty
satin ribbon. This decoration gives dis
tinction to the skirt and waist and the
CAMP and sleeves are made of pale
pink organdy in tiny frills, every one
edged with black baby ribbon.
The second costume is blue muslin,
embroidered in polka dots. F'lounces
edged with black and blue ribbon orna-
ment the skirt and waist. The sleeves
of this picturesque little robe are made
of blue Liberty silk criss-crossing down

in full loops and ends at one side.

VERANDA COMFORT.
How to Establish An Outdoor Sitting
Room

AOOIn.
With the advent of June's rare days
comes the important question. What
shall we do to be comfortable through
the summer heat?"
Of course, you have a veranda at
tached to your summer cottage, but
even a veranda needs accessories be-
fore it quite fills that long-felt want"
Here is a scheme for a cosy corner
evolved by an artist. See if il does not
prove to be the missing link.

she found a veranda extending quite
across the front of the house and eff

rooms in that portion. Very well.
will make a sitting-room of the YER
anda," she promptly decided.
Sending for the village carpenter, she
had one end of the piazza closed with
I fitted boards, and a triangular seat
built to fit in the corner thus made.
The seat was about nine inches high
and its sides six feet in length.
The artist then sent to town for 20
yards of art burlap-she knew where
she could get it for 1919 cents yard
with dark blue ground decorated by
yellow dragons. Pending its arrival
she ordered from the village uphOlster-

six feet long and fully four inches
thick. and two others. each about is
inches long and cylindrical in shape.
AS these were all filled with excelsior
and covered with ticking, they were
not expensive.
When the burlap arrived she took
step-ladder, hammer and a package OF
brass headed tacks and covered the
wall of the house and the end of the
veranda, using three widths on each,
as the veranda was just nine feet wide.
The long cushions had been fastened
securely against the wall and were
covered with burlap. For additional
firmness, as well as ornament the bur-
lap had three rows of tacks where the
cushions began. Long brass-headed
nails Were driven at intervals through
the cushions to produce the effect Of
being tufted.
The upholsterer was called in to
make a deep, soft wool mattress for
the seat. this also being covered with
the burlap, which further made a cur
tain to conceal the front board.
At the ceiling across the front
drapery of India cotton was festoOnsd.
This summer the drapery consists Of
two small American flags and one Gu
ban flag. From the center CT the space

pended; the two excelsior pillows were
covered with Madras handkerchiefs:
other pillows were added, tabouret

the veranda and the cOsiest corner i'm

was swung at a little distauce, some
quantity shaped rattan chairs added
and the veranda was transformed into
the most artistic of sitting rooms.

The very stone of the cornerstone, in

from hip and shoulder, while the length
of the front breadths, of gowns of cere-
mony, is quite astonishing. Gowns to
be worn exclusively in the drawing
room fall an inch on the floor in front,
are smooth fitting at the hip, but flow
full from the knees down. To wear
such a skirt a woman must needs walk
with the stately dignity of a goddess,
since nothing is more difficult to carry
about pleasingly than these statuesque
robes. Stout women frankly rejoice in
this leaning toward this classic mode,
for with the flowing skirts they gain

the knee, and the slight definition of

and certain solidity of quality that
the sculptured locks show. Pins are
so put in as to be almost invisible
and absolutely no ornaments are used
There are in all at least half a dozen
decided styles of, Greek coiffure,
adapted from statuary, and there are
few women, wonderful to say, whom
the simplicity of head decoration does
not distinctly become.
COLLARS AND CUFFS.
There is no such thing as a golden
mean known in the finishing off of the
neck and sleeves of a dress in these
days. Eccentricity in little things is
one of the needs of the hour, and the
short-necked woman must grin and
bear the high neck bands with what
grace they can muster. A very high
tight collar, be it Of ribbon or linen, is
not the most agreeable sort of yoke in
hot weather; but fashion is a question
