tiou 10 the summer wardrobe, giving
an up.to-date and picturesque touch
TO any number Of gowns with which
it may be worn. This one, called the
Trianon, from Harper's Bazaar, is one
of the newest models. It's folds are
especially designed to give a perfect
shape, aud it is cut with narrow stole
ends in front, as foundation fer the
rufiles that ornament the front.
Mousseline de sole, chiffon, null or
point d'esprit are suitable materials
for its development, with self material
or lace ruffles. The sclf-ruiiies may
be further embellisned by tiny ruches,
top aud bottom, and by the lower edge
being cut in scallops. This fichu can
be worn just simply pinned at the
bust as here shown, or IL can be knot

Renring The nnccn Bee.

II is claimed that a good queer
cannot be raised excepting when there
il good honey now, and that bees
will not try to raise one at any other
time unless they lose their queen,
when they will try 90 raise another.
The best queens are those reared
about the swarmihg time. Then the
beekeeper should save the queen cellf
from bis best colonies, those that are
good honey producers and not
vicious when handled, aud either give
them bees and brood TO start a new
colony or put them into colonies whose
Iueens are not working satisfactorily,
first removing The poor queen. At.
tention TO getting good queens may
make great difference in the produc,
tiysuess Of the colony. Many queens
are uot prolific Of eggs, laying but n
few hundred day, which does not
keep the number Of bees in the colony
large enough to store mach surplus
honey. Destroy such ones as soon a.
a good young queen can be obtained
from q strong colony, az, her mother
having been prolific, she may very
probably iaherlt the same trait. In
doing this, try also 90 add some brood
from q stroug colony, that when she
begins TO lay there may be enough
nurse bees 20 care for her brood. II
sue should lay 1900 eggs a day, ant
yoang queens seldom exceed that the

Furnishing "A summer House.

In furnishing summer house one
or two points must be remembered.
Nothing thick or stuTy should find o
place in it, no furniture moved ont
from n town house, no heavy hangingf
nothing that when tho windows are
left open will catch aud hold the dust
or the damp. For this reason ma
hogauy, willow aud other smooth
surface materials are desirable. Paint
everything white in the bedroom that
has grained wood aud white marble
mantel; have the ceiling white, aud
put narrow striped paper on the
walls, with pink, green, or yellow
predominating. Some charming and
cheap patterns are now TO be found.
The bedroom without sunlight should
have yellow walls aud white paint,
the ceiling with the merest suggcstioD
OF yellow in il. Have the walls plain,
and use a figured chintz or muslin
at the windows. That livinR.room
would be charming with green on the
walls, white paint on the wood work,
and willow chairs painted green and
cushioned with green. These sug.
gestions are taken from the room OF a
particularly attractive country house.
The room has dotted muslin with lace
ruiiles at the windows. You eau use
the green with pine If you choose the
color carefully. A lowered muslin at
the windows would then be pretty -

This is another season Of lace, and
one of the prettiest methods OF EN-
ploying this ever favorite material is
in lace revers, collars and boleros on
thin waists.
The charming bolero shown in the
large engraving is of heavy white lace
done in bow knot design and scol-
loped around the edge. Worn over n
French organdie Of pink and white
this little bolero has very dainty
effect. Through the edges of the
lace are run two rows Of narrow black
velvet ribbon, making a big bow where
the two sides meet.
The other illustration shows the
popular lace revere which extends 10 a
square collar at the back This is, OF
course, Russian lace, aud is worn
with a dress Of mauve crepe de chine
or soft cashmere. A tucked front aud
collar OF white chiffon lends a dainty
touch 10 this toilette.

Advice to Young uousekeeper..

housekeeper is perhaps in order.
Nearly every young couple setting up
housekeeping starts with definite
amount of money 20 spend. What
ever the sum, leave a fair margin to
rectify mistakes. II $500 is TO be set
aside for the household outfit, assume
that only $3.50 is on hand, and stop
short when that sum ia expended.
With $1,000, put aside $500, and So
on. The mere process of furnishing .
home, whether IT be tiny apartment
or spacious house, is an educating ex.
perience; at the end one is sure tc
discover that its repetition would pro
duce better results. 1t Is 60 rectify
