polish is given to bring out the wood

a DEBUTANTE'S FLOWERS.
There is d curious fashion worth tell
ing about in the debutante bouquets
Maidens who open the door into society
this summer at watering places viii
carry flowers wrought into some par
ticular form. Already number of
June buds have carried at their pre-
sentation parties little tulle and net
baskets. founded of course on silver
wire frames, but filed with Wild flow
ers. 4 pink tulle basket heaped with
dog roses and a green tulle one filed
with field daisies We're among the first
to be used.
Another damseI whose fresh complex
ion, simple ways and white muslin
freck charmed every guest, stood
biushing beside her mother, with her
Swiss skirts caught up and filed with
buttercups and primroses. The abbre-
Walton of the muslin skirt displayed
pair of irreproachable little feet in
white open worked silk stockings and
white satin shoes, also a white silk pet
ticoat loaded with lovely lace. Hot
house flowers by the more sophisticated
buds are worked on wire frames into
bouquets in heart and triangle shape,
into balls, pyramids wreatks, the SEM
blance of an open book, or the girls
initials, and their weight as well as
their appropriateness serve TO dim
the lustre of the debutante's pleasure.
DAMASKED LINENS.
The heart of fashionable womankind
rejoices over a new fabric that comes
from Ireland and consequently is
linen. 1t is a linen of exactly the same
quality and finish as tndt uSeO on uln-
ner tables, and it is richly damasked-
Tailors make it up in truly gorgeous
dresses for races, coaching, casino wear
and for calling. 1t has all the sheen
and body of Duchess satin, and it is
usually chosen in white, because white
is a fad this summer and because when
it is laundered by an expert 1T is gilt
teringly beautiful.
From London and not Paris this time
does our new fashion come, and an i'm
poverished lady of high degree got the
damasked linen its vogue. Finding
herself sorely in need of a wedding
garment and being very short of credit,
she resorted to her grandmother's linen
chest. Two great cream white ban
quet cloths were sent to the dressmak-
er. and with the aid of some old family
lace a splendid gown was the result
The Princess of Wales even asked to
examine it, and now the Irish looms are
slowly turning out linen of deep ivory
tone, damasked in, the peculiar lines
and floral patterns popular rs years
ago. In some cases a silver, or gold, or
pale blue silk thread is wrought in with |
the flax and morvelouSly beautiful |
fabric is the result
Now, one prime recommendation |
about the damasked linen dress is that |
the more frequently it is Numbered the /
richer its sheen becomes, while it lends
itself entirely to the drapery of the /
