Among the Baroness many gifts to
charity In Europe was donation OF
100000 francs to the Pasteur Institute
In Paris; a similar sum to found an
asylum for the employees Of the rail-
roads of Turkey, In which her husband
had vast interests, and large endow-
ments for hospitals in London and
Paris and other European capitals.
How many millions the Baroness ex-
pended In charities will never be
known, for q considerable share of her
benefactions were private. She despised
notoriety and only when unavoidable
was her name associated with her bene-
licences.

Of good taste will be convinced Of this on
seeing some such material made up after
some highly wrought model. The latter
may do for the more subdued striped
stuffs, but even there simplicity Is safer.
Ii you really prefer cloth. as SO many
do, whenever you can wear II, there are
some lovely weayes to choose from.
Smooth surface and melton coloring offer

then coffee, tobacco or chocolate brown
seems the usual resort, though green's are
selected by those who find them becoming.

characteristic. 1t is In the cut of jacket
that this point Is most often secured, and
it was here that the gown remaining In
this illustration was made to stand out as
a brand new one. 1t was of warm reddish
brown, It's bodice was novel eton, and
closely braided with black was particular
ly effective. Beneath the jacket were q
yoke and front of white satin covered with
butter colored lace.
Among swagger women whose purses
permit taem to .indorse expensive fads, the
automobile is being made the excuse for
a special sort of costume. Since to wear
such rigs in the just right way one must
own her own automobile, you can see how
exclusive the trick is and is likely to con-
tinue. Three dresses suitable for automo-
bile use are shown. The woman standing
wears one Of the straight-front gowns
about which dressmakers say so much In
praise. The effect is secured by shield
straightness to the open front of the in
side waistcoat jacket. The very slender
woman will do well to take advantage Of
the present fashion for layer bodices. This

surely means that silks will soon return to

fashion. Then, too, even she who shows
her allegiance to cloth will find it pleasant
to posses a new dress of summer silk, and
everyone must be glad TO see so big an as
