Ojamoe glass is the latest novelty in
ornamental ware from Bohemia IL re-
produces the antique in form, and like
the Phoenician glass, as we know II liz
the Cesnola collection, has its surface
illuminated by prismatic colors. The
price of each article, whether vase, jar
or bowl, varies, according to its size,
from $3.50 to $50.
To renovate old lace which has be-
come yellow make a lather OF ivory
soap and fill glass jar. Drop the lace
into this and set in the sun for 1eW
hours, rinse in clear water, then spread
it on a window pane on which the sun

Many of the new kid gloves show
glaring transgressions or conventional
ideas, and illustrate the disregard
which fashion has for anything Whlcn
savors of the old-time virtue OF econ
omy. The long-popular, useful, and al
ways appropriate fawn, brown ana
tan-colored gloves for general wear are
not to be altogether abandoned by fash
ionable women, but their place is large
ly taken by a host Of odd, conspicuous
shades-green, purple, orange, dahlia,
in paler tints-for evening wear. Most
of the buttons on day-gloves are large
and showy. and the stitching contrast
ing and striking. On the more delicate
evening gloves, however, the stitching
is white or in pale colors.
The trimmed skirt appears to advance
more rapidly and more generally in ia
vor than the draped or oversflirted
styles. There are more overskirt eff
fects simulated by various modes of
adjusting frills pipings, flounces, ruches
and other fashionable garnitures, than
there are genuine double skirts Pan
els of silk or of another fabric intro
duced on either side of the front of a
skirt or princesse dress makes a very
effective and becoming trimming for
short women, a far better arrange
ment than any frill or fiounce going
round and round the skirt, as the pan
els at each side add not a little to the
appearance of hight.
Low-cut blouses and other waists

effects innumerable, sashes tied looped,
or knotted at any part Of the waist
where they prove the most becoming;

folds crossing the figure in front and
terminating in long scarf ends that
fasten on the left side; dainty little
jacket and basque effects above vests

and pelerines, overskirts. ruched,
flounced, pleated, frilled, tucked, and

Some of the most stylish summer
tailor costumes worn at Newport this
season for morning drives, beach walks,
etc, are made Of smooth, fine, Irish lin
en- trimmed with rows of white braid
or linen lace insertions and edgings-
Tinted horse chestnut blossoms are
very prettily worn on biege colored
beach hats OF Milan braid trimmed with
ficelle lace and brown satin ribbon.
Many really beautiful dresses for the
summer have been formed by using the
partly worn silk gowns of past seasons
for the foundation for new outer dresses
of muslin, net, grenadine, etamine and
other transparent or semi-diaphanous
textiles. Black and white silks, plaids
moires, brocades, shot patterns. stripes
| and other plain and fancy silks have
been utilized even by fashionable dress
makers who have sent the renovated
J gowns home looking, in not few in
stances, prettier and daintier than wher
they were new.
Satin striped zephyr goods are very
dainty and attractive this season. with
plain white or neutral stripes In satiI
finish and woven about an inch and q
half apart and filled in with little
checks or lines of pink, violet, ciel blue
mauve. yellow, or gray. Beautifully
dyed cotton etamines are also used ii
great variety with checked grounds il
rather small designs. Other patterns
in cotton etamine in tan, cream an(
ecru have lines or bars of silk in con
trasting colors.

THE eternal fitness OF things" a.
applied to fashion in dress and adorn

meaning. No one can trace from it
