Put some nice corn husk leaves in a
kettle; cover with hot water; set them
for half an hour on one side of the stove;
take out the husk and cut them in even

one tablespoonful of the cornmeal paste

Many of the new black hats are rim
med partly with wide black edging. says
the millinery Trade Review" One in
rice straw has two rows of this lace plait-
ed on to the upper side of the brim. 1t
has one of the new high, straight crowns,
about which is folded a broad band of
black velvet fastened by jet slide; sur
mounting this, rising still higher h the
crown, is a large bunch of globular roses
in several shades of pink. Hats of cream
lace on a foundation of wired tulle will
be very fashionable this season. their
effect is inlprc led by sewing thereon rows
of fancy Tuscan braid will an interval
of an inch between each braid. A very
stylish hat of this sort has for trimming
merely a large dull gold buckle securing
the foot of a f~an-shaped aigrette of the
lace placed slightly on one side of the
high crown. Lace wells are to be pre-
ferred to tulle this year, and the new
selections include wells of the most ex-
pensive kinds of lace. besides admirable
limitations of the same. They are often
used to drape round the brims of hats-a
style that will be affected by those who
consider the lace over the face unbecom-
ing. Long scarfs in net, with designs in
Escurial, are now being converted into
decorations for hats; one end lies along
the brim. and the remainder of the scarf
is worn twisted once round the throat.

The latest idea in millinery is to COM
bine a dark Holland colored straw with
white chiffon and black velvet trimmings.
A novelty IS colored straw with a white
spot painted upon It. but should the
possessor of such a nat find herself in a
shower of rain there will be much cause
FOR Consideration, the white spot spread
ing its influence unduiy.
All the quilts and wings seem to bear
upon them some speckled design either
at the top or at the base, but the fayorite
trimming for millinery is the artificial
rose, and the manufacturers have brought
these to such perfection that they cost
land they are well worth the price, S.
each blossom.
A hat of tuscan trimmed with a couple
of such roses and a twist of pale blue
chiffon is ideal wear for the young girl,
with the muslin gown. And talking of
muslin gowns reminds me that the pat
terms of the muslins are more attractive
than ever. the little rosebud appearing in
single elegance with much distinction on
foundations striped with blue and white
lines and spotted with white. Other
pretty patterns there are, and for a young
girl there is no prettier gown than one
made of muslin, with lace trimmings out
lined with bebe ribbons to match the pre-
dominating tints of the pattern on the
muslin.
Paris sends this week a costume that is
novel in construction as well as in de-

Liberty silk made into a morning house
gown.
The gown is strictly a second mourn
ing affair, but with the addition of a bit
of color can be transformed into a be-
coming toilette for any one who does not
care for an all black effect.
AT first glance the gown presents a
Princess effect, but a second look reveals
the fact that the continued line of the
bodice and skirt is preserved by means
of a narrow belt of black silk. The ma
terial is white pique striped with black.
! The skirt is clinging over the hips and
fastens at the left side with round black
buttons. over which are drawn button
| holes worked in miniature Grecian
| squares. From the knees the skirt is
| finished with a deep ruffle of soft black
silk which falls to the floor.
The waist is close fitting with a vest and
revers Of black silk. The collar, also of
black silk, is finished with a. small bow
| and pearl buckle.
