Friils of Fashion.

Many of the evening bodices are pouched
at the back well as in the front, and
here the wide folded band is very becom-
ing to slight figures.
There are all sorts of beautiful models
for deep mourning. An accordion plated
lisse empire tea gown had a bolero Of ex-
quisite black embroidery fastened with a
knotted sash at the side of fringed crepe
de chine and very old engraved mother
of pearl buckle.
Adjustable stock collars have place
In the variegated display of neckwear and
are built on the principe of the pulley
belt, with flexible bone incased between the
satin ribbon of which it is made and the
silk lining. A ring is attached at either
side and .he ends drawn through. These
are tied in four-in-hand knot in a short
bow with long ends.
Jet is rather at a discount although a
really good jet frock always looks Wei.
1t requires. however, to be treated with
much discrimination. 1t is only very daz-
Zingly fair people who can wear black
without relief, unless, indeed, they be in
tensely dark and exceedingly beautiful
But these are not common attributes, and
the relief of black jet frock by white
tulle is certainly more universally becom-
ing.
Straw embroidery on black maines Is a
pretty combination for toque. and again
you see black straw hats trimmed with
white malnes. Tulle in every color is used
in millinery for rosettes and bows, and for
shirrings and V,aitings forming entire hats.
Cream lace straw toques finished with a
bunch of black flowers at one side and
narrow bands of black velvet tucked in
between the folds are one of the novelties
There is a great deal of the beautiful new
flame color used for evening gowns. This
is trying to the wearer unless 1t be in the
softest fabric relieved with a beautiful
face; but then real lace looks well with
anything, and, efter all, when we come
to think of it, it is immensely good value

Millinery of the Moment.

Tulle and chiffon form the two chief
components of the millinery Of the mo-
ment, and just imagine what the goffering
and tucking of tulle mean Recollect the
hopeless way in which it sticks to ones
fingers and the bedraggled appearance both
tulle and chiffon have when not absolutely
fresh Altogether the best millinery this
year displays the highest workmanship In
it's manipulation, and the most beautiful
hats, which look as If they are blown to-
labor. Even simple cycling hats have
stitched taffeta rosettes and bows. all of
which necessitate a great deal Of work.
The picture hat is lovely, and whole crowns
are formed of ostrich plumes.

In furnishings we are returning to the
fashions Of the Louis XIV and Louis XVI
periods. This Is not because they are par
hcularly picturesque, but because decora-
tive designers have about exhausted every
other available period. 1t may not be a
particularly harmonious setting, this of in

These must be replaced by spindling-look-

skeleton tables and squat little cabinets.
For the drawing room there must be
slender-legged tables Of marquetry and
cabinets with deliberately decorated fSonts
and ornate corner columns. The tables
should have double leaves folding over at
the sides and speaking eloquently of the
evenings at cards which made these now
ornamental pieces once useful and much
used furnishings.
With the furniture we are expected to
fare back for models in draperes to the
omnipresent hangings of those periods
Draperies We're necessities for comfort in
the drafty cha teauX and airy apartments
of Versailles and the Trianon. but in this
age, when dust is an abomination and cur
tainS are looked upon as deadly con-
trivances calculated to enmesh every float

store 1t up for future use, the introduction
of a curtain craze is a little doubtful OF
popularity, a least with thrifty American
housewives.
Castellanes on Top.
Just at present the Castellanes are very
popular in Partisan society. They have,

Waists made of wash silk are to be very
fashionable this season. and there are so
many different patterns and designs to
choose from and such wide range of price
that it is scarcely to be wondered at that
the fashion has become popular so quickly.
These silks really do wash. at least most
of them do, but do not require the constant
laundering that such materials as Bingham.
percale and cambria always call for They
cost little more, but the colors do not fade,
nor do they get out of shape when they are
ironed half so quickly as the other mate
rials that require TO be starched. The fab
ric is sometimes perfectly plain and is then
made up in tucks or plaits. but the tucks
are stitched down so they Will not iron out
of place.
There are also the silks with the narrow
cord, and the cord represents stripes
checks or plaids. When ii has this pattern
on it the silk is always made up quite
plainly with just little fuliness on the
shoulder and with or without yoke in the
back 1t must be simple. with the only
trimming small jeweled studs and sleeve
links.
Among the most expensive of the new
shirt waists are those of family tinted null
and embroidered. They are the daintiest
waists imaginable.
Something very elegant for waists is an
all-over exquisitely embroidered batiste in
the pale biscuit tints 1t comes in charm
ing lace-like patterns, with beautiful inser-
lions to match.

Khaki Fabrics,

Khaki wash fabrics are among the new
offerings Of the season, and the khaki shirt
waist is to be commended on account of its
simplicity and adaptability to rough usage,
such as it must receive at seashore and

said to be the basis OF beauty.
HanRinEs for Bed.
The draping OF beds Is one Of the fashions
included in the revival. Many persons do
drape the beds during winter to keep OF
drafts, but for the summer nearly every
one in this country covers them with mos
quito netting II white netting is used and
is trimmed with narrow ruffle it may be
made to look as handsome as many OF the
draperies for beds which are heavy and
stuffy and not of any real benefit. A large
hook screwed in the ceiling and suspending
an oval support Is the simplest arrange
ment for the bed drapery, although mold
ings which form frame may be purchased
and may be put UP by the upholsterer TO
support the curtain.

English Lace Curtains.
In England the fashion still prevails OF
using lace curtains in preference to bro
cades for country houses. Bowknots are a
favorite design on many OF the new lace
hangings. Guipure lace combined with
linen canvas Is pretty. and real Swiss en-

or Dutter, winch the constant dripping WILL
keep cool.
A lemon pie that is absolutely reliable IS
made IN this way: Have ready the pastry
starch in little cold water. Pour over 1t
a teacupful of boiling water, stirring all
the time until clear and free from Jumps.
Add one tablespoonful of butter and small
cupful of sugar and cook q few moments
longer. Set on back Of range and add the
beaten yolks Of two eggs, and the juice
and grated yellow rind of enc lemon. Stir
until we'll blended and pour in crust. Set
in the oven a few moments with the door
left open, while preparing the meringue
made from the whites OF the eggs beaten
stin and two scant tablespoonfuls sugar.
Spread evenly over the pie and set on the
CRATE Of the oven to rise slowly and brown.
A Colorado housewife, possessed of a
knack of cooking and a large family of
small boys with famous appetites, has i'm
provised a new meat pie, which the family
call delicious. When the big tin pan Is
filled with the meat, cut in squares, with Its
accompanying rich gravy, layer of chop
ped watercress is added just before putting
on the top crust. The pie is then baked
until rich brown, the cress adding greatly
to its savory qualities.
In making a meringue 1t must always be
borne in mind that the slower it is cooked
or really dried the better. The reason so
many housekeepers fail in making a thick,
tender meringue is because they make
mistake in the temperature of the oven. II
the oven is too hot leave the door open. For
all merlngue allow tablespoonful of pow
dered sugar to each egg.
Summer draperfes were never daintier or
prettier. Many of the muslin curtains with
vertical cross stripes Of flowers in delicate
colors may be matched in wall papers and
chintzes for furniture. new summer fab
ric In soft coloring is linen taffeta.
And again: Place the butter in an earthen
crock; set in pan of water and cover pan
and crock with a heavy cloth wrung out
of water. BY seeing that the cloth is kept
wet the butter can be kept firm and sweet
for days.
Plain boiled rice, served hot, with strained
honey makes an appreciated addition to
the lunch table-or is excellent for a simple
home dessert.
In preserving figs little sliced lemon will
be found desirable addition.

Fashions for Boys.

From Harpers Bazaar.
Small boys and large boys wear golf
suts-the full golf knickerbocker and sack
coat, single-breasted, or Norfolk jacket
with belt of the same material as the suit.
The plaid and check tweeds and cheViots
are used for golf suits, and for summer
wear thin crash suits made on exactly the
same lines those in the WOODEN fabrics.
Long duck trousers in white are worn by
boys of all ages, and look well with the
unlined dark blue sack coat. These trous-
ers can be bought at very reasonable
prices, and in such good shapes as to make
it not worth while TO attempt having them
done at home.
Young boys wear the shirt waists that
have a belt, and buttons to which the
trousers can be fastened. These SHIRT
waists have turned-dOWn collars OF the

loving family of the Faubourg St. German

Pretty for summer.
While every one may not care to follow
the craze for the adoption of the furniture
there are some very pretty draperies and
methods of adjusting them that are new to
this side of the water. The coming on of
summer. when so many people open scam
tily furnished summer residences and when
every housewife takes down heavy and
puts up airy draperies, makes references
to the hangings particularly timely.
In the first place. all sorts of portieres
are to be seen. They are arranged with q
short lambrequin effect across wide double
doors and with draped side curtains. Dam
asks. tapestries and soft silk fabrics serve
to form the portieres. The windows are
draped to harmonic with them. For both
the portieres and windows 1t is the custom
to arrange one side Of the curtain higher
than the other, or in some way to intro
