Under the head of wraps and out
door garments can be put the dainty
little fichus that are to be a feature
of the summer gowns. These are
made of the same material as the
gown itself or of some light contrast
ing color. They are charming in
mousseline de sole, or in muslin
trimmed with ruffies of the same,
the ruffles sometimes edged with
lace and sometimes simply hemmed.
There is not great deal of fulness
in the ruff1es that go around the
back of the tichu, but around the
ends the rutfles are put on as full as
possible. There are one or two very
new ones in this style made up of
black silk and trimmed with fringe.
They are very old-fashioned in APP
pearance, quite like those worn
forty or fifty years ago; but they
can be most gracefully draped across
the shoulders and tied in front in
one loop, the ends left to hang down
their full length on the skirt.
A number of bows and ruches are
exhibited in the shops to wear with
the spring gowns. Some or these
are on the plan of those of last year,
and are made in black and white of
moussellne de sole, with rows of
tucks or shirrings at regular inter
walls Then there are much shorter
ruches made of the black mo usseline
de sole and black satin ribbon.
These last are rather more orna-
mental than useful, and are not half
so pretty as the capes, the upper
part of which are made with yOkes
OF Liberty satin embroidered in jet
Below the yOlks are bias rutiles oil
mousseline de sole finished with
very narrow ruchins of mousseline
de sole. The effect of these capes is
light and attractive. The fulness
does not begin until below the
shoulders, giving quaint, old
fashioned appearance, aud ye

The Housewives Daily Burden.

1t is a common remark with hun
dreds Of men that they wonder
what women find to do all day"
Somtimes curiosity gets the better
of man and he asks his wife what
she has done all day. "Oh, a hun
dred and one little things" she says.
Then he thinks of some momentous
scheme over which he has been
working all day, and makes a ment-
al comparison, in which his wife's
work takes second place. He over
looks the fact, however, that a wo-
mans life in the home is made up of
'little things" and that these same
little things"are not only necessary,
but they are absolutely vital to the
even adjustment of the domestic
machinery of his home. They are
"little" only in a womans eye; they

Fashions Practical and Elaborate.

Crepons are enjoying their old
time popularity this season. They
are especially we'll liked for skirts,
with which silk blouse is worn.
The prettiest crepons are in plaids,
and with these are worn blOuses of
solid color. The wide neckties of
wash net, trimmed at the ends with
lace, will be in vogue all summer.
These are made long enough to go
twice around the neck and tie under
the chin, over flat, wide neckband
of bright ribbon.

seams on the body of the waist and
everywhere that lace can be used.
Yhe fashion of the frock must al
ways be simple, and there should,
IL possible, be colored lining made
separate from the frock. OF course,
it is better when the lining can be
of silk, but surprisingly good results
can be obtained by using lawn in
stead of silk.
