summer Millinery.

Straw is shown in an infinite variety
Of combinations in summer millinery.
according to the Milliners' Trade Re-
view, and much of it may compare
for lightness, delicacy Of coloring and
minutiae of detail with the most COM
plicated flower-petal shapes and those
which are made completely Of tulle or
gauze. Many of the fancy shapes are
made of paillarson braids. edged on
one. side with three or more tiny
frillings of straw, chosen in as many
shades. Brims have sometimes two
braids on the edge, or the brim is
made Of three separate layers, and
when these are bent upward and waved
the little ruchings with which they
are bordered form trimming in them
selves, and only need some flowers
exhibiting the same variety of shades
as the straw to complete them, these
being placed either against .ne brim,
turned up against the crown. or on
the side Of the crown itself. Plain
straws are also made with, several lay
ers on the brim, the widest. being fiat
and the other slightly full, SO as to
undulate gracefully. A bergere hat
made in this way, Of plain, fine violet
straw, is trimmed with voluminous
drapery of violet tulle, on which bands
Of plain straw are sewn every two
inches. The straw bands give a GER
tain firmness to the tulle, so that when
arranged in big poufs it keeps its
shape. care being taken to stitch 1t
down through the braids. A half
coronet of Bordeaux-colored roses fin
ishes this hat charmingly. Paillarsons
woven in two colors promises to be a
good deal worn. especially in small
shapes and toques. These may be
trimmed with turban-like arrange
ments of tulle forming big pouf in
front, tulle of the two colors being
used. Suppose the straw to be woven
of dull red and fax blue or stem green
and lilac. the drapery would be formed
Of four doubles OF tulle, the colors
placed alternately. and then arranged
in a torsade. When the straw is of
one color the trimming may be chosen
an exact match.

When Love Comes Home.

When Love Comes Home.
Lie still, o my love. lay your head upon

For knew that you would turn to me

was patient, and I waited. for knew
that you would come,
Shaned and stricken, spent and weary,
when you heard me call you home;
Heard me sing once more the song,
You've not heard so long, so long;
Hearken now, and dream that once again
we wander side by side,
Calling through the mountains to the
sheep at eventide.

A new silk which has the sheen of
velvet is known as the givrinet weave.
The warp is one shade, the weft an
other. 1t comes in blendings of deli
cate green and mauve. peach and white
and soft gray blue and rose. It is
exquisite for the clinging gowns so
much the fashion. Another new silk
equally desirable for these costumes is
the glove skin. It is soft and clinging,

A Judge in a remote part Of Austral-

him. 1t was that Of Il man charged
with unlawfully selling liquor.
The judge said he was there to ad'
minister the law, and the man must be
fined; but as he himself had frequently

Youthfulness is by no means an idea
to be discarded in the designing of
midsummer gowns; in fact, one might
almost say that it is the keynote of
midsummer fashions.
It is fact not generally known that
gathers add more youth and grace to a
gown than any other mode of treat
ment. A midsummer costume is shown
in this illustration made of green mus
lin figured in pale purple violets. The
skirt is finished with a Dewey" rufae
