vas, but here, up to this time, no mod
els of this sort have been shown. Fou-
lard is combined with the transparent
fabrics such as chiffon, lace and finely
embroidered muslin. In point'of color
all shades of violet have the preference,
though the dozen and one blues are con-
sidered quite as good st lie. While the
foular | gown is usually made with a
douE . skirt, it and the bodice form n
scheme, for, what d~ecorates enc deco
rates the other. The curving OF straight
line is carried up or down from one into
the other, and they are not to be con-
sidered apart.
The illustration will be found an ex-
cellent composition for those who want
an unbroken line at the waist. This
half princess, half redingote is being
used a good deal in Paris. Around the
hem Of soft silk dresses, even those de-
signed for rough. and ready wear, there
may be any amount of fullness and
fluffy trimmings; SO much, as a matter
of fact, that the average oma will
have to- take a good many lessons in
the art of walking before she will be
able to get about with any degree of
| safety or grace. For the space of 10 or

small shaped founces orplaitings edged
with chiffon ruchings or. lace or muslin
appliques as you have a mind to.

VII White Ink FAD.

The latest daintiness to be assumed
by milady in connection with her cor
respondence is the use of a delicate
white ink to correspond with the white
crest or monogram. This is used only
with the most delicate tints of paper or
the deepest. For instance, the deep
Russian blue or the sultan red shows to
good advantage under white ink. The
prettiest Of them all, however, are the
Wedgwood effects in blues of several
shades, the blue gray being the most
effective.
The monograms and crests used with
the Wedgwood blue papers are ct the
tiniest, to carry out the Wedgwood eff
feet in its entirety. Of curse nothing
but pure white wax must be used with
this combination.
When a Wedgwood letter is all ready
to start on its way, it certainly seems
as if the whole should be carefully
wrapped up in white tissue paper and
tied with white ribbon and sent by spe-
cial messenger to avoid contact with
the commoner letters which make up the
mail.

Scales For Weighing Baby.

About the first important ceremony
after baby's appearance in this busy
world is to weigh him, and scales for
this special use are now made. These
are generally finished in white enamel.
The weight plate is Of iron, polished I'M
til it looks like a steel mirror. The
sspan" is an oblong basket fashioned
with a view to the convenient and COM
Portable holding of the baby.
This basket is also enameled. The
base of the scale projects in front to af-
ford a place for the weights, which are
Of polished iron. The larger. weights are
provided with handles. There are no
very small weights, the fractions of
pounds being recorded by a sliding
weight on a beam attached to the scale.

IN R.nish Flies.

Flies are always Objectionable and
annoying. and especially SO in a sick
room, where they may also be the
means of Spreading infection. 1t is a
good thing to know that fumigating
with carbclic acid not only acts as a
disinfectant, but also as a preventive Of
the fly nuisance. A simple famigator is
made BY fastening a patty pan by
means Of a bracket made OF twisted
wire attached to and projecting from
the neck Of a ginger beer bottle above
a night light. AZ the light burns the
carbolic fumes of the disinfectant in
the pan will I'll the air and make it I'M
bearable to insect pests. 1t is necessary
to place the fumigator well out of reach
of children, for not only is carbolic acid
poisonous, but it is capable Of inflicting
the most dreadful burns.

BEAUTIES IN


-
Including Original and Delightful
Easter Gifts.
A little skill with the brush and some
ribbons as finishing touches, when, 10,
plain. everyday buckram Ia transform
ed into countless dainty aztioles suita-
BILE for gifts for Easter and other coca
sions. A writer in Modern Priscilla
tells how to utilize this commonplace
material, as follows:
The buckram should look like a parse
canvas stifened, and | have bought it
in buff. gray and cream. LII the stores
it is called .'collar canvas SO in buy
ing it give more attention to the ma
terial itself than to the name. 1t pre-
sents a smooth surface, which takes
oils or water color equally well. Buy 81
inches of buff and then split it length
wise. Bind the two narrow ends across
with golden brown satin ribbon, fold
in these ends about four inches and
then bind all ground the case, first bast-
ing, then stitching OF the machine
with brown silk. Field again in the
middle, and you have a letter case, or
portfolio, all but the decoration. This
can be of any preferred style. A small
boat in sepia may occupy n corner Of
the case and in the other corner the
quaint saying, 'sIf There Be Any likely
| News, Sende 1t Downe." This coloring
is quiet, but very refined.
One case done in white Easter flow
ers. with their rich yellow hearts, was
bound with yellow ribbon. Another one
was of cream buckram with a beauti-
fully painted spray of wild roses and
"Blessed Be Letters in odd, quaint let
tering. This was bound with pink RIB
bon.
A very handsome one was somewhat
larger, with a lining of purple satin
basted in before the ends were bound.
This is easily done, and, of course,
makes the case richer, if one does not
consider expense. The whole case was
bound with purple ribbon and a large
graystone cross painted on it, with
white lilies against the gray. Golden
rays radiated from it, and "He Is
Risen" appeared over the cross. One of
the most beautiful was on cream buck
ram and was bound with pale green.
the decoration being a mass of pink and
white clover in green and gold scrolls.
Any one with a little ingenuity can
make an assortment of gifts from this
delightful material. By making the
strip of buckram longer and making
deeper pockets an ideal photograph
holder is secured. A memorandum case
for a mans desk can be evolved from
these ideas, using. of course, rich and
suitable coloring-a telegram case, a
note case; the worker will know best
her friends requirements.
Boxes for all purposes can be covered
with buckram and decorated. Such
boxes are useful and pretty for hand
kerchiefs, gloves, photographs, cards.
cigars, sewing utensils, etc.

EASTER FANClES.


Pretty Little Devices That Are
Founded Upon an EggsheIl.
Presenting eggs as an Easter gift is
one of the pretty fashions which Amer
leans have adopted in the usual appre-
ciative style in which they gather in
every good thing, Gorgeous and won
derful, dainty and fascinating, are the
eggs of the shops, in silver, china, silk
and ribbons, etc., and surprising and
delightful the sweets, bonbons or other
small treasures committed to their keep
ing. And very pretty also may be the
triumphs of clever fingers at home for
whose benefit the following suggestions
from The Country Gentleman of what
can be done with an eggshell are affix-
ed: For preparing the egg, puncture a
small hole in each end and blow out the
contents. When only part of the shell
is to be used, the egg can be boiled, u
apart and the contents carefully re-
moved. To avoid ~oiliness, wash the
shells first in vinegar, next in soda wa
ter. The decorations depend on the
workers ability. Water colors or oils
may be used, or silver or gilt paper de-
signs of crosses, anchors, stars, flowers,
etc, employed. In painting the light
shades are preferable. Birds, flowers
and butterflies are all appropriate.
One shell is painted a very light blue.
On this are several dainty apple blos-
SONS. Near the top of the shell, which,
has been removed, is glued a small bag
of light pink silk to match a shade in
the apple blossoms. There is a ribbon
to suspend it by, and the gift is intend
ed to hold glove buttons.
Another has a button mold, silk COW
cred, securely glued to the bottom OF
the shell for a standard. Around the
top, which has been carefully notched,
are three rosettes of baby ribbon.
French floral wreaths are the decora-
tions on this bonbon basket.
A little beauty has violets scattered
over a cream ground. The shell is lined
with a bit of violet tintSd silk over per-
fumed cotton, and that's a tray for
shirt waist studs. Summary looking
butterflies are painted on one design to
hold a tiny pincushion.
An eggshell vase is painted dark
green and holds a dainty cluster of
lilies. A bit Of grass seed or a small
fern will thrive in them.
Newest of all and very interesting Is
a shell placed perpendicularly, with a
button mold standard covered with gilt
D The shell is painted With gilt
on light green, "Easter, 1899, and the
quotation. "a Happy, Joyous Easter.
Into the top bristles are fitted, for this
is a penwiper. New bristles may be
procured as required.

or floss along the outlines and then
work in any veinage or shading lines
needed to finish the design.
Roman embroidery is both serviceable
and handsome for the decoration of lin
en- pillowcases, ~sideboard scarfs. table
covers and for other household pur-
poses. 1t may be used very effectively
on colored linens, as well as on white
linen. Roman embroidery is a form of
cutwork. 1t is done as follows: Trace
the design on the article to be decorat-
ed. work the outlines by a close running
stitch, then work them over in button
hole stitch with cotton or soft linen
thread; then, when the design is all
worked, cut away the superhuous linen
outside of all the outlines of the design
and your work will be finished.
The Ladies' World. which is the
source Of the foregoing suggestions, also
illustrates a pretty cross stitch crochet
lace with directions for working the
same: Make a chain the desired length.
Then / treble in every stitch of chain.
Q. One treble in third stitch, then l
treble back in first stitch; this forms
the cross stitch; l treble in fifth stitch.
/ treble in third stitch again, / treble in
seventh stitch, l treble back in fifth
stitch. Continue thus the whole length.
8. Same as second row.
4. Six long trebles in first o stitch,
1 treble in next cross stitch, 6 long
trebles in the next. 1 treble in next,
and so on.
Finish the edge by making a chain
of 8 and 1 single in each stitch.

One Of the most chic hats is a mush-
room shaped yellow Tuscan straw, with
trimming of white tulle and yellow
velvet. At the front the tulle is caught
with a jeweled pin.
The beautiful striped and covered
silks are made up into stunning para
soils, with elaborate handles.
Widespread silks covered with polka
dots are made up in shirt waists, and
