The Value of Rest.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The gospel of periodical rest is not
preached to women half forcibly enough.
One of the most narrowing remarks made
at the Denver meeting Of club women last
year was by an enthusiast, who urged that
women should not slip back in the summer
from the effort they had made during the
winter. 1t was evident the speaker would
take away from this busy modern woma n
the scant respite she permits herself dur
ing a part Of the summer. At a recent
club injecting in suburban town a men,
Der presented the Value of System in
Work, and gave a model day in which
every minue from breakfast to bedtime was
filled with active effort. When she had fin
ished a woman in the audience arose and
pointed out that one important occupation
of the day had been omitted. This was
"dawdling," and the speaker said that while
indorsing the value of system. she must
put in an eloquent plea for the incorpora-
ton in the working day of every woman
of at least a half hours absolute rest-not
the rest of a fresh occupation. but the rest
Of complete and entire relaxation mental
and physical. The nervous active over
jealous American woman of today scarce

The Panama hats that are sold by one or

well as with wash gowns. They are trim

Jenny Lind's FavorIte Soup.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The recipe used by the famous singer,
Jenny Lind, in making her favorite soup
has just been discovered. She believed that
it had much to do with the preservation of
her voice and keeping her throat and chest
In good condition che would intrust its
manufacture to no one, preferrfng to see to
II herself that IL should be made precisely
right. She soaked forty-fiye grains of pure
sage in cold water for several hours. She
then put it on the fire to boil in fresh water
and, when IL had reached the boiling poin;
poured cold water over the sage in a sieve
Then II was cooked for twenty minutes
with one and one-haf spoonfuls of bouiIlon
and carefully SKINNED. A little salt pep
per, nutmeg, sugar and cut up parsley were
added. and finally the yolks Of two fresh
eggs and eight spoonfuls of hot cream
made into a sauce was put into the soup
through strainer after IL had been lifted
from the fire, and all thoroughly worked
with large spoon. Now it was ready TO
be eaten or drank. Singers who take SCUM
like this will find their voices will stand
great strain and retain their sweetness by
its aid.

The Latest Skirts.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is an Interesting thing to know how
one of the most prominent dressmakers in
the city makes all of the latest skirts,
She cuts the taffeta foundation in four
cores. which are sewn up with the straight
edges and the bias edges together, so that
slight bias seam runs down the middle of
the front and a decidedly bias seam straight
down the back, and the sides are left
straight. At the bottom is a facing an inch
or more wide. Over this is a circular ruff
file, seven inches wide in front and ten be-
hind, and cut in a circle that measures two
yards and two-thirds at the lower edge and
one yard and two-thirds around the upper
edge with the material double. The skirt
Is ten inches longer behind than in front
1t is fitted to the figure at the top with
four darts. So much for the foundation
AS finish, the ruffle at the bottom may be
covered with two or three narrow ruffies
and the whole skirt may be allowed to
show through the meshes of lace tunic
or 1t will serve as a correctly shaped un-
derskirt for any light unlined Dress For
summer gowns, when the material is wide
enough. but one seam is used on the dress
skirt, and that a bias one down the center
of the back. Sometimes a straight front
gore Is used. but the bias back seam Is In
any case Indispensable to the up-to-date

HANDKERCHIEFs.
Oid-Fashioned, PriceIess Lace Cren-
ton is New Fashionable Again.

From Harper's Bazaar.
1t might truthfully be stated that the
handkerchief is one of the most important
articles of clothing. and an interesting bit
of reading it makes to scan the statistics
of the number of handkerchiefs that are
sold even in one shop during tine year But
there are handkerchiefs and handkerchiefs,
and some have very little reference TO 9TH

The bargain ones. for instance. that are
sold for i2lz cents, and that are pretty and
most useful. bear little resemblance TO the
minute square Of finest linen that is en-
broidered with the owners monogram and
which never costs less than .hres or four
dollars Just at present II is the fad To
have the finest and most expensive kand-
kerchiefs that can be bought exceedingly
simple in SO far they are finished with a
hem and hemstitching, Of course. but the
expense lies in the very fine texture of the
material and in the wonderfully nne stitches
that are employed in the lettering. one set

joined to very narrow edge of Nalcn-
ciennes lace. The colored handkerchief
look very well with mourning gowns. and
sometimes in costume where the color
scheme is carried out it is rather pretty to
see one OF these dainty little tribes with tie
lace edge; but there have been so many
limitations of these handkerchiefs sold, and
Tor SO wonderfully low prices, that they
cannot be classed among the very success

are their chief interest. According to his
tory, 1t Is not more irregular for a maiden
to unpin and dispose unto her lover her
arm coverings than for her to sever a curl
or bestow mouchoir.
Whether sleeves which undo in O twink
ling will become regular features OF wo-
mems gowns or If their little day win pass
again with the summer cannot be said now.
But the sleeve, always an object of inn
portance in feminine Furnishings, is excep-
tionally significant just now. 1t cannot
grow smaller, and it must, then, wax short
er or larger. Perfectly close arm cover
ings are becoming only to figures without
flaw. Tailor-made gowns have tight
sleeves, without modish exception.
Leaving the strictly plain, one sees end
less devices for broadening the shoulder
effect without seeming to increase the size
Of the arm. Chief among them is the early
Victorian sioping shoulder. Where the
dress is made with yoke of contrasting
color the yoke material Is extended a third

a Nile green barege costume, with yoke and
lapels of cream guipure and foulard of

naissance lace sleeves, yoke and shoulder
pieces of the cloth.
Keynote Of Fall Fashions.
The effect is that of extraordinarily slop-
ing shoulders. Unless a change suddenly
should come. this line probably will be the
keynote of fall fashions.
Evening sleeves are the merest wisps.
Over the shoulders are straps of velvet like
the gown or contrasting with it. a length
of artificial roses is considered sufficient
support for tulie bodice. Even a tiny
breadth of illusion pretends to keep in place
many a close-fitting waist. Whether or not
sleeves are worn with a low-necked gown,
the shoulders themselves must appear I'M

object of every wise woman who has passed

they cease to be an attractive adjunct to a

which should be conveyed by fresh and
