Summer cloth. cheviot, serge and English
fabrics are all suited for the purpose.

For the undoing of the woman who
| spent nearly all her years income two
months ago for proper spring plumage,
the milliners are bringing o]it their mid
summer crop of hats. They have a unique
and lovely thing christened Juliet, in hon.
or of Miss Maud Adams, though it has
little outward and visible significance with
the young wife of Romeo. From a crown
and wide brim of that sweet new fabric
known as open leghorn, which looks like
fine straw lace. runs a garnishment of
tinted grain, from which at some point
| springs a cluster of broad and narrow
muslin wings so painted as to simulate
those of butterflies. The leghorn brim is
twisted and bent to harmonic witt the
lines of any face, and then from the rear
full tulle strings come down to cross un
der the chin, pass again TO the back Of
the neck and there tie in a vast and pics
turesque bow.
The Juliet has penetrated many ward-
robes by sheer force of airy beauty, and
its influence has been to relegate many
hat and bonnet strings to the rear of
the head, where the loops and ends usual
ly form a most charming setting for a
fair. rosy face

over the hand; there is a very deep collar
of velvet. and at the top of the apparent
low bodice is a twisted scarf of the vel

bust, and continued down the middle of

The famous painted muslins'' described
by grandmothers as a part of their sum-
mer wardrobe could not have been love-
lier than some of the finer Powered or
candies worn over a suitable silk slip.
The flowers are daintily eolored and
slightly blurred in outline. violets sprin-
kle with purple the ground of a white
o~rgandie, which is worn over lavender silk
and trimmed with narrow edging of Val
encIennes lace on the ~ruffles, and a line
of narrowest black velvet is used as a
heading.
Carnation pinks, very small of size,
flower the surface of a cream colored or
candle. This is worn over a slip of pink
silk. and is trimmed with soft ruffles of
pink chiffon to match the carnations. A
hat of pale yellow straw, trimmed with
black satin flowers, is the correct head
dress to wear with one of these soft sum
mer costumes. You do not require any
color In your hat with such a ford toilet.
A silver gilt feather clasp set with pre-
cious stones or limitations, for a boa, is
the latest novelty.
A silver spoon with a doubl bottom is a
novelty for the tea maker. The tea is put
into the bowl and the spoon is placed in a
cup of hot water to brew the tea.
A very pretty comb cleaner with a
silver handle is one of the latest novelties.
Candle e%xtinguishers in shapes like
horns are supplied in silver gilt.
Fox tail busters with silver handles are
useful novelties.
A useful novelty for the table is a bone
holder of silver for use instead of a fork
in eating poultry or game.
One Of the best hat trunks is without
the cushion on the inside on which to
pin the hatsdn travelling. A woman who
has an affection for her hats dislkes to
make any more pinhoIes in them than
possible. Enough win be made in the
course Of ordinary wear. The newer
trunks have a little framework which
slips into the hat, and is then secured by
a clothes-pin arrangement fastened to the
inside of the trunk. These trunks also
