An ideal visiting gown could lave a
skirt of a rather DARK purple gros-graln
or crepeline, with five very tiny bla ruI-
fes at the foot, and a tunic OF mauVe
cloth, with three narrow bias folds on lis
hem to fall over this. For a bodice a foun-
dation of purple erepeline. with a bolero
of the cloth open in front and having
, folds starting from shoulder to waistline,
4 would be appropriate. Have cordlike tucks
top and bottom of the cloth sleeves with
with long points to fail over the hand. A
| white rice straw, in the new Rambeuilies
shape, trimmed with mauye and purple
phlox in an aigrette of white ostrich fea-
theirs would constitute a fitting finish for
this effective costume.
A silk gown is almost a necessity in
summer, says Harper's Bazaar There
are many foulards to be bought as cheap
I- q c fartx- oapfS a ward If an nld-faSh-
Toned pattern is chosen, and there are so
many designs in foulards now that it
would take a very keen observer to detect
what is or is not a new design. This
gown should be made up effectively, but
not too deliberately, and can be improved
+ upon by having two waists, one a plain
color and the other to match the skirt. If
economy has to be consulted very closely,
a figured black silk is better than a fgur-
ed %foulard, as, for instance, a black and
white silk, for it will do double duty. One
of the waists can be made with a guimpe
of net, and will do duty as an evening
waist. There are a great many pretty de-
signs in figured black silk, a very thin
quality being the best to ehoose for sum-
mer wear.
One smart muslin froek is all-sufficient.
1t ought to be made up over a fitted lin
ing. A very good plan is to have the lin
ing, which, if possible, should be of taft
feta silk, made quite separate from the
gown. The skirt must be cut with The
greatest care, and flare out well around
the foot, and the waist lining must fit to
perfection. Any sort of muslin will look
well over it, and two muslin gowns can
often be made up to wear over this one
lining.
In this entire outfit it is not necessary
to ave more than half a dozen gowns,
not including the walking gown, and if
any discretion is used in choosing the ma
~terials, the entire cost will be very small
and quite come under the head of a mod
crate priced summer outfit. The muslin
need not be of the finest quality. There
are some very attractive ones for ten
cents a yard, and none of the other gowns
that have been spoken of involve great
expense The silk gown will cost more
than any other, but it will not need a silk
lining.
The craze for glittering o-rnamentation
appears to be quite as marked as ever,
and new and unique designs sent from
Paris and Vienna lapidaries, and manu-
facturers of choice garnitures, keep the
fashion alive by the new n beautiful
decorations constantly offered. Jeweled
ornaments set in gold and silver, jetted
and gem-studded nets and laces, applique
pieces, vest fronts, girdles, chatelaines,
buckles and paste ornaments of every
description, for utilization by modiste and
milliner-an appear among novelties just
imported. Whether it be with decora-
lions that glitter in our hats and toques,
glimmer on the fronts and revers of day
costumes, or scintillate from elaborate
evening toilets, the fashionable woman
can hardly glitter too much. All is GER

perfection are mock Jewels and paste de-
eeptiens now brought, and so general is

1t is a common remark, says the
Ladies' Home Journal with hundreds
of men that they wonder what women
find to do all day" Sometimes curiosity
gets the better of a man and he asks his
wife what she has lone all day. "Oh, a
hundred and one little things" she a

scheme over which he has been working
all day, and makes a mental comparison.

that a woman's life in the home is made
up of little things" and that these same
little things are not only necessary hut
that they are absolutely vital to the even
adjustment of the domestic machinery of
his home. They are little" only in a
woman,s eye: they would instantly as
sumo proportions of magnitude if the
mans hands were to try to do them.
Thu latest approved idea for closing the
plaquet of a skirt, either front, back or
at the side, is with snap buttons, such
as are used on walking gloves. One is
bound to say that care must be exercised
in ascertaining that the buttons are Sc
curely snapped. Put something firm be-
meath the button to make it snap shut.
