/ For railway journeys of more than an

ly worn beneath the dress skirt, and the
fluffy white cambric skirt with its deep
founce of embroidery and needleWorK is
left behind. This is because a dusty
white skirt is not dainty for a lady 20
wear. and it is not possible to keep a
long white skirt undimmed by car-uust
lon a railway journey. The sready-made
department of big stores offer moreen ana
silk skirts for travel. A more expensive
and better wearing article is mace OF

Black gloria is in great demand, but the

as pretty and wear as WE'LL The mate

fees for a petticoat, which fits like a
| sheath over the hips, and the ruffles at
the foot are made of black taffeta or
surah, as the wearer prefers. For a
cheaper travelling petticoat the black sa-
teen is desirable. It is cool in summer
and wears well. 1t has not, however, the
frmress and ssset OUT of a silk or gloria
skirt.
The cool effect of fluffy breezlness from
thin white hanging is what is most de-
sirable for the summer draperies. and one
who has tested it claims that the muslin
par excellence for windows. which is, In
deed. a lace rather than a muslin, is the
Calcutta net. There is a wide lattiee-iike
mesh that is particularly durable and
suitable for country houses and seaside
cottages: there are polka dots and colonial
designs and the plain, wide-meshed Brus-
sells net. and all are so beautiful when
made up that one scarcely knows which
to choose. One may have them simply
trimmed with a lace edging put on plain,
or not trimmed at all, or they may be ruff
fed with the material, the ruflles edged
with a delicate little Battenburg edging,
and finished where they join the curtain
with a narrow Battenburg braid. Where
dust collects readily, demanding frequent
laundering, the plain finish or simple lace
edging will be more appropriate.
There is an enormous return Of puff
ing for everything. Not only are blouse
fronts, yokes and the like made of it,
but entire skirts are the caprice of the
moment. completely puffed their entire
depth. An evening gown demonstrating
this mode is of shell pink mousseline
de sole, cut very low as to corsage,
and having little sleeves of one broad
and two rows of narrow putting and a
little frill at the lower edge. The bodice
was in three puffs, drawn up with tiny
silk cords; the skirt has seven rows of
putting. reaching to the knees and fit
ting ~exquisitely. and at the knees SPRING
ing out into five overlapping frills. very
full, and each edged with narrow eeru
lace, the same forming the finish at the
neck and appearing in set flower form
as an application over the bodice and
skirt.
hi use of cotton embroideries upon
wooden dresses is certainly novel, but
none the less beautiful, as was evinced
in a charming nuns yelling of pale
green. There was embroidered muslin
enough to form a deep yoke, shaped
founce for the skirt and the sleeves.
The nuns yelling formed a deep tunic
and the full portion of the bloused
waist. These are carefully tucked and
stitched in silk the same shade. A light
weight wool in pale yellow was similar
" trimmed with embroidered batiste,
rows of insertion running up the tunic
and a deep, shaped hounce finishing
the skirt There was also a little beading
wherever it could be put. run through
with narrow black velvet.
The style of hair is an up
right bow mad of twisted wire and rib
bon, which curls and twists about quite
in keeping with the snake-like curves of
the up-to-date skirt and its weird con-
volutions. These hair bows are often COW
cred with sequins to match the trimmings
which fashion at present demands. Lit
Tie gauZe BOWS are also smart. and, If
only the plain ribbon is preferred, a dia-
mond or rhinestone buckle at the point
of intersection lends variety.

After years of violets we now have a
reaction in favor of the r-ose-queen of the
garden. Tight little rosebuds are not
often seen nor conventional flowers in
their prime. Instead Of these the fancy
is for full-blown affairs, roses very wide
open, or slightly crushed. A bunch Of
these is placed at the left side of a coarse
straw hat in yellow or pale brown straw.
Black velvet ribbon forms the band, and
a bunch Of black ostrich tips is often
added. Pale pink roses look cool in mid
summer.
One of the handiest things that has ever
been gotten up by the e~nterprising manu-
facturer is the new label for fruit cans.
It is no longer necessary to spend hot
afternoons cutting and writing and post
ing innumerable small labels. The new
kind is simply a piece of gummed paper
bearing a picture of fruit. They are
neat. pretty and inexpensive.
