Craze for White Underwear.

All white is the "dernier cri' for lingerie
now. You will meet pink, blue and BIRDS
eye cambria, but the best style Is pure
white, interthreaded with pure white baby
ribbon and trimmed with lace en- suite
Nothing is lovelier, after ell. Evening
gowns are worn over white cambria petit
coats ruff1ed and insertioned with lace In
all sorts Of profusion, but, look you, not
designed with any bizarrerie. Big, sprawl
ing appliques, great, striking motifs, are
out, and in their place has arrived a sim
plicity that is amazing. Fine, narrow in
sertions run round and round a skirt, with
triple row of siX-inch frils set on be-
tween, one billowing on top Of the other
and the skirt while it fits the hips like a
glove is below so f1uting and full that it
absolutely answers to the poets fine de-
scription and is indeed tempestuous pet
ticoat. 1t is trained, of course, and is
terribly expensive, especially when it is
not merely skirt proper, but a princess
underdress, made to fit the figure with abb
solute precision.
White silk hosiery and white shoes for
the evening recall the days when every
teacher Of department instructed her de-
moiselles in the art of ascending and
alighting from carriage In a graceful
manner. Only the merest flash of wee
footgear was permissible. And, oh, shades
of propriety, the horror a. tiny glimpse of
ankle evoked The most exquisite silk
stockings are inlet with lace, and the shoes
are, too. Gold sandal strars are pretty on
some.

The newest fan is revival Of the old
time Vatican model and is very small.
The designs painted on satin, silk, gauze
and lace are the more expensive, but even
those on the cheaper fans are often ex-
quisite. The fan has the scene with the
figures and flower gardens, green trees and
tinted skies painted on it's face, and the
clouds, trees and greensward reproduced
on the back, only emitting the figure and
flower beds.
Then there is another model-a tiny Wat
teau medallion set In the midst Of most
exquisite sprays of mignonette, clusters of
violets, with here and there dainty COL
ored butterfly or a bespangled bird.
An empire fan in one of the shops was
of black, red, white or dark green gauze,
with lace figures and designs over it, out
lined with tiny spangles which caught the
reflection of the lights and threw out iri-
descent rays as the fan was waved to and
fro.
Most costly of all are the weblike at
fairs of hOniton with plain medallion in
the center, upon which is exquisitely paint

NECK FIAINGS,
Fluffy Novelties That Are Suitable to
Spring Toilets.

With the joyful putting off of heavy
wraps and fur collars we have returned to
our allegiance to all manner of pretty
fluffy collarettes. They are re-editions Of
the boas we exploited last autumn, hung
with chenille ropes and frOthed with tulle;
but many of them are vastly improved
and beautified over the models that reigned
in the dead and gone season. For one
thing, the milliners have now taken up
the manufacture of bOas and ruffs, and sell
really irresistible specimens to match the
hat that one purchases. Some hats, in
fact, are not sold unless its boa is pur-
chased too, and If one is ambitious for a
neck piece to display in company with
ones Easter bonnet the modiste will whip
one up in a trice.
There are, with this open season, boas
to suit the most conservative and the most
eccentric women. There are collarettes
with ends that drop to ones toes and COL
larettes with no end. Some of them fasten
in front, some behind and some at one
side. One of the newest and prettiest Is of
palest mauve pineapple pleated silk muslin,
edged with quillingS Of white tulIe, made
with long jabot Streamers in a series of
over-deep tapping flounces, and diversified
with little fiat blue silk roses, set on to the
pineapple pleated surface at artistic inter-
walls.
Another enviable specimen is made In
the form of two huge Tudor rufus of tulle
The first is cream white laid upon one of

Makes Cloth New Again.

Take about twenty laurel leaves, prefer
ably young, and having carefully washed
them place then in an earthenware dish.
Pour pint Of boiling water over them
and let them steep for two or three hours,
and you will have an excellent solution for
cleaning cloth or serge. 1t will be found
to remove all stains without the least in
jury to the fabric
Brush the garment well on both sides and
remove all Innings and trimmings in bad
condition. Spread on a table and sponge
carefully with the solution, wiring and
dry 1t will then look like new.
Black silk can be cleaned in this way. but
greater care is necessary. If the silk is
in breadths it must be very lightly sponged,
then tightly rolled In a linen cloth around
a roller and allowed thus to dry.

Uses for Salt.

Salt is such a common article in the
household that many of us do not sufficient
ly appreciate its high medicinal value
Many and various things are the remedial
uses to which it may be put.
AS dentifrice common salt may be re-
lied on. BY its judicious use the teeth are
kept white, the gums hard and the breath
sweet. When the gums are spongy the
mouth should be washed out twice a day
with salt and water.
Warm salt and water held i'm the mouth
will sometimes Danish toothache and al
least make the affection lighter, while it is
both safe and easy to try.
Again, equal parts of alum and salt, OF
even salt alone, placed on piece of cotton
wool and inserted in the hollow of an ach-
ing tooth will often give relief when other
means have failed.
To allay neuralgia pains in the head and
face take a small bag of flannel, fill with
salt, heat thoroughly and apply to the at
fected part.
A bag of salt placed hot to the feet or
any portion Of the body is better for giving
and keeping warmth than is the con-en-
tional brick or hot water bottle.
Salt placed on the gum when a tooth has
been extracted will prevent profuse bleed
ing at such time.

equally full Jacqueminot red tulle and
finished with double ropes of changeable
red and white silk chenille. From Paris
come evening boas made all of huge silk
peonieS. Silver cords hang nearly to the
feet in front, and are weighted at the bot
tom with peonies, one of which has inner
stinened petals, that, at the wearer's need,
can be transformed into a charming fan.
goodly number of these neck orna-
ments are broadened out in the center of
the back and on the shoulders to serve as
small fancy capes when the wearer drives
or requires a bit of n wrap after dancing
Costly and beautiful ones are made in the
form of separate stitched silk leaves, upon
which fall frills of fine lace and the
streamers in front are long ends of accor-
dian pleated chiffon, covered with lace and
held at intervals with ornamental circlets
of brilliant paste. Intrinsically beautiful
longer retain their hold on feminine affec-
tions, unless the proud feathers are allied
and tntermingled with artificial flowers
and lace. This is a degradation of their
beauty, but for the present plumes are
commonplace and hackneyed to degree,
and only the milliner who is more or less
of genius at combinations can make the
woman accept the feathers under any
guise.
A distinct sensation was created at one
or the last balls of the winter season by
woman in a boa made wholly of exquisite
silver tissue roses; from this hung dozen
or more fine silver chains, that dangied
nearly to her feet and shot white lights
from the many vivid little rhinestones that
were fastened at intervals of an inch or
two In their links. Worn with a sump-
tuous black KoYn. this silver collar not

tests of the public taste. If the experiment
is a success do not be surprised II we are
treated to all sorts of combinations OF col
ors. for it is no secret that the adaptation
of the black and white is merely an expert
ment. Wells are more necessary than ever.
1t Would be impossible to hold some of the
erI attic millinery shapes on the head II IT
were not for the assistance lent by a we'll
fastened veil.
Lace wells have no longer the vogue which
few seasons ago gave them. 1t is notice
able that the wearing of wells is not what
it once was. This is due partly to the con-
slant teaching of fashionable hygien1c eX-
perts who claim that the soft film drawn
over the face tends to clog the pores, in
terfere with circulation and eventually dim
the clearness of the complexion.
Gay Hosiery.
Hosiery is gayer than ever. One pair of
Stockings which 1 hastily decided would
never form part of my wardrobe, no mat
ter how chic, was covered with a climbing
pattern in purple grapes and green leaves,
the application to all appearances being an
embroidered one. Stockings over whose sur
faces are embroidered tiny pink seashells
are accounted modish and novel for sea-
shore wear, yet to my mind pair en-
broidered with frisking rodents would be
about as pleasant and comfortable to an
imaginative woman. The superiority of
mind over matter will have been demon
strated if some of the hobgoblin designs in
ultra-smart hosiery are adopted.

HOW FASHIONS ARE CREATED.
Often the Result of n COLLATION. of
Isolated Ideas,


"How are new fashions created?" is a
Question that must certainly suggest itself
now and then to women.
Those unacquainted with Paris chiffon
| and it's mysteries probably suppose that
the fashion artist spends much time in
studying the harmonious contours of his
favorite model, with her elegant figure, re-
poseful air and graceful attitudes, which
lend themselves to the varied manifesto
tions of his genius They picture her pa
tlently submitting to the enervating manip-
ulations of the essayeuse, who tries, meas
ures, selects and discards according to the
capricious combinations of a chief who
changes his mind with a suddenness born
of genius in search of the Ideal. Finally,
they fondly imagine, he arrests the essay
euse's movements with a nervous, imperi-
Gus gesture. He has found his IDEAL The
new fashion is evolved.
Alas, this romantic conception is seldom
realized. A fashion does not, as a rule
emerge-complete unique perfect-from the
brain OF one sartorial genius, however en-
1nent. More often it results from the col
lation of isolated ideas, which, floating in
the ambient air, are studied, analysed and
mater1alized. But after what efforts, fail
ures and notifications!
Fashlons frequently originate in the fer
tile brains of Montmartre artists hundreds
OF whom are constantly designing, invent
ing and copying. They derive inspiration
from pictures of the dogaressas of the fif-
tenth century, the marquises of the seven
teenth century and the elegantes of the
empire. These painted beauties furnish their
modern sisters with many a lesson in CO.
quetry and adornment Methods differ in
various houses, of course, but as q rule any
sketch, idea, design or suggestion is immedi-
ately on receipt submitted to the chief. He
forms his opinion. Then, discreetly, he con-
suits two or three of his principal collabora-
ir1f ony,t he hnc
fidence. Expert in the art of selection, en-
dowed with an artistic intuition fortified by
the ripest commercial and social experience,
they are qualified to decide. Should the idea
be adopted, the house imparts life and grace
to the conception, adapting the picturesque
sketch of the artist to its practical purpose
the identification of modern belle rich
enough to pay for genius applied to la
mode.

Though the majority of well-costumed wo-
mankind will continue, on into the now
fairly launched season, to display sheath
skirts of the type shown in the three Illus
trations, the Marie Louisa is inevitable
and is going to enter on it's victorious cam
paign with the foulards and the evening
dresses that will be worn at the watering
places in July and August.
With the skirt of this cut the milliners
are already prepared to act in accordance
and the wide hat with a broad waved
brim is coming into its own again. With a
skirt of prodigious fulness it is, of course,
quite out of the question to wear fan-like
toque, or a fiat pancake, the latter all made
of tucked material or stemless flowers with
a knot of pink roses nodding rakishly over
the left eye. Such well exploited varieties
are about to pass away, giving room to
tinted leghorns that are entirely covered

Cod-Liyer Oil in a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the OF these
properties is SO well known that there is no need
for us to enter into that subject.
We could quote many instances where Vinol has
done good; example, here is one coming from
Jane S. Fenfren, a prominent member Of the W.

writes:
