The popularity of the silk waists as
well as the regular shirt waists has
brought out a vast array of neckwear-
There were never so many pretty oddi-
ties and bewitching novelties for neck
adornment as this summer. There are
shaped collars of thin crinoline, over
which lace ties can be worn and which
keep their shape for quite time. Then
there are the net and lace collars that
are held in position by invisible wires.
These are shaped to be lower in front
than at the back, where they are gen.
orally finished in round or sharp points.
Stock collars with a bow to match are
useful articles of neckwear, for they
are so easily adjusted.
The chiffon, crepe de chine or lace
stock collars that have the, necktie in
the shape of a sailor knot can also be
bought ready to wear and finished so
there is no need of tying a knot every
time the collar is put on. The lace 1a-
bots are also very pretty, and there IS
a wide selection of lace barbs. The lat
ter come in both cream and white lace
and are long enough to go around the
neck twice. with the ends crossing at
the back and tied in front in a bowknot.

the coming winter evening and after
noon reception frocks. One of the beau
ties in silk was a handsome embroider-
ed piece in mauve and green on
ground of white satin The design was
a curved spray that encircled a single
i've petaled flower. A second, suitable
for evening cloaks, was of black satin
brocaded with tiny flowers asters and
marguerites alternating. A foulard silk
exhibited quite novel pattern in the
shape of squares careIessly scattered all
over the silk. This silk would be ex-
cellent in effect on the tucked skirts
now worn. A superb brocade was of
oyster white, with clusters of roses in
mauve and green scattered loosely over
the material. A very magnificent fab
ric was the one of white panne satin,
with embossed velvet and hand painted
sprays upon its surface. An exquisite
material for a matronly evening gown
was the silk of black background with
small white embroidered spots and
slender, graceful sprays of spreading
roses. with plenty of foliage. Outline

trimming. The latest fashion is to have
collar and belt to match
Even the tailor made gowns are
showing the double sleeve. The jacket
is made with a loose short sleeve of
the cloth, through which the full puff
ed sleeve of the blouse beneath shows
with striking effect.
Simplicity and beauty We're combined
in the dainty red and white foulard
frock lately displayed on the shapely
form of one of Redferns models. The
skirt was laid in narrow tucks, de-
seending on each side of the skirt from
the hips, the bottom of the skirt being
bordered with bands of lace, with mar
row rows of black velvet ribbon above
and below. The yoke and sleeves were
entirely of tucks, the former partially
hidden by a deep lace collar of a quail
ity similar to that upon the skirt A
shaped girdle at the waist was made ofs
silk and bands of narrow ribbon velvet

washing Decanters.

To prevent wine stains from marking
the inside of decanters fill the bottles
directly they are drained of wine with
warm water and shake them briskly.
If the dregs are allowed to remain any
length of time, it will be more difficult
to clear the glass. Obstinate stains in
glass bottles, whether due to wine or
anything else, need something more
than water to remove them. Shot is
sometimes used, but this is too heavy
for very fine glass, which is better
treated with crushed eggshen or pellets
Of brown paper. Whatever is used
must be shaken up and down inside the
bottle of water, and the friction Will
remove the stains.

HINTS FOR THE TOILET.

Try the effect of adding sea salt to
your warm bath at night. It will re-
fresh you wonderfully and help you to
sleep well.
Let the hair be loose at night, for pin
ming or plating it up tightly, by re-
tarding the circulation of the blood, is
apt to injuriously affect the growth OF
the hair.
Perfumed gloves are liked by some
women. Mix together four drops of ex-
tract of ambergris and two ounces of
spirits of wine. Apply to the inside of
the gloves with linen rag or piece of
sponge
A harmless rouge is found in the juice
of the beet root. The practice of arti-
ficially coloring the cheeks is not to be
recommended, but if people will rouge
beet root has the advantage of being
simple and safe.
After taking medicines brush the
teeth. After taking quinine or iron in
any form it is well to use little car
Donate of soda as a dentifrice. This
precaution will prevent the teeth being
stained or their enamel injured by the
acid used to dissolve the drug
A useful lotion for the complexion
when the face f1ushes uncomfortably is
made of simple tincture of benzofn, one
dram; tincture of hamamelis, four
drains; rosewater, one and a half
ounces. Apply to the face night and
morning and before going out.
Wind and sun burned faces are often
very painful. Ease is best secured by
protecting the skin from the air. This
may be done by an application of white
of egg, lard or of Carron oil. The last
remedy should be found in every house,
it being invaluable for burns and
scaIds. It is made of equal parts of
linseed oil and Hmewater, shaken to-
gether so as to form cream.

Ties of All Sorts.

Crepe de chine and chiffon scarfs with
fringed ends are worn as twice around
ties They may be used without
separate stock by having wired collar
of firm white net, unlined. This sup
ports the tie and prevents it from wrin-
king Handsome fastenings are used
for these long scarfs in many cases,
and really good lacepins of the old
fashioned kind have emerged trium-
phantly from their long seclusion in
the jewel box. In simpler ties the but
terf1y bow of tulle or mousseline, edged
with narrow lace or velvet ribbon, is
popular. The bat wing bow of silk is
also liked. There are, too, stocks of
tucked silk the ends finished with
tassels, which are one of the newest
offerings in the department of fashion,
able neckwear-

ished with a simple hem or with a mar
row ffounce of lace.
The popularity of foulard remains I'M
abated even into the middle of the sea-
son. 1t is not only light and graceful.
but it combines with other fabrics and
trimmings to achieve notably fine eff
fects. One very handsome model of
foulard was made with a circular in
stead of a box plated skirt, a some
what newer and more graceful effect
Three narrow fiounces trimmed the
lower part of the skirt. The bloused
waist was furnished with a yoke COM
posed of narrow tucks and bands of
insertion, a collar of white cloth and
lace framing the yoke. A silk bertha
and a broad belt of foulard gave the
finishing touches to the bodice.
A very handsome summer dress for a
young girl can be made of white silk
batiste, one of the softest and prettiest
of the summer fabrics. One of this
sort I noticed the other afternoon at the
entrance to the Palais de Luxembourg
on a very smart damsel who, while
CARRIED in the accepted mode, did not
strike me as Partisan and who, / after
ward learned, was a famous American
heiress. Her costume was of white silk
batiste. made very simply, yet elegant
ly, with lace and ribbon insertions.

who is always on the lookout for
means of advertising the excellence of

assistance of the florists and nursery

ought to be arranged should be sought.
Separate prizes should be given to pro-
fessionals and amateurs. Prizes should

was one of the smartest of such effects
recently worn by the Countess de Tre7J
dern, the great arbiter of fashion. The
effect of the stripes was heightened by
the novel use of black ribbons drawn
through the lace. The high belt was
of red silk and the white silk skirt was
thickly trimmed with fine gold braid
trimming.
The belts worn this season are the
extremes in width, either very wide or
very narrow. The very wide ones are
of the corselet shape and fit to the fig
ure beautifully. Crepe de chine drawn
through jeweled slides and having long
sash ends behind is a favcrite waist

Put small leg of lamb into a sauce
pan containing two ounces of melted
dripping and let it cook over a quick
fire for eight minutes; turn the meat
and brown it evenly the other side.
Then pour in Sufficient weak stock or
water to partly cover it and add two
onions, sliced, a turnip and carrot
cut up, a sprig of fresh mint, bunch
of parsley and little muslin bag con-
tanning a dozen peppercorns, a blade of
mace and two cloves.
Cover the pan and let the meat sim

basted frequently and turned after the
first hour and half. When done, re-
move the meat from the pan and keep

possible from the liquor in which it was

which has been smoothly mixed with a
small quantity of cold water, and, after

seasoning it with salt, strain it over the
meat and garnish the dish with green
peas which have been cooked separate
