bellies this season should be proof positive
of the pre-eminence of French workmen.
The lawn tennis costume is one of the
most difficult to adapt to the exigencies of
fashion. for, with all it's simplicity, it must
be up to date in cut and material. Nothing
could be prettier than the dainty tennis
suit of crimson spotted white pique turned
out recently by a shop on the Rue Auber
for a very chic little comtesse. The skirt
was plated and had wide straps of pique
bordered with cords running down each
plat about three-QuarterS of the length OF
the garment. From the termination of the
strappings the plaits spread loosely. giving
ample freedom to the limbs. Three frogs
of white cord acted partial restraints
to the lower folds. The blouse worn with
this skirt was also of spotted pique. In
deed. ii occurred to me that the design
might very well be carried out for long
skirt, in the construction of one of those
popular shirt waist dresses. The sleeves.
slightly full above the short cuffs, were
strapped and corded like the skirt, similar
straps crossing the shoulders and buttoning
over the little patch pockets. Down. the
front of the blouse row of the white frogs
took the place of buttons. A broad trimmed
sailor nat bound with a band of striped
red and white ribbon was recommended for
wear with this gown.
Dust Coat for n Countess.
French women are more particular about
their bicycling costumes than either Amer
lean or English women. 1t was therefore
with much interest that 1 inspected the
dust gray alpaca frock which l was in
formed had been made up especially for
the Comtesse Castellane. The box-plaited
skirt was strapped and stitched, the end of
each strap being held down by an orna-
mental cut steel buckle. Over the blouse
of polka-dotted blue silk was to be worn
half loose bolero long and pointed in the
front and crossed with narrow bands of
black taffeta the collar. Over a second
edge of the alpaca more taffeta appeared.
Four tabs crossing the black-striped front
were fixed by steel buttons like those on
the skirt. The sleeves were given a novel
appearance by the application of wedge
shaped tabs over a striped, trumpet-shaped
cuff. Shoes of gray suede over gray silk

the cut of boleros. Fashion permits them
to be either long or short, round or square,
and further adds the use of collars, yokes
and ornamental trimmings of every va
riety. The cloth is cut into all sorts OF
fanciful shapes in the composition OF the
ultra smart jacket. for the fact Is that
most of the more elaborate ones are COM
poSite affairs in whose making lace, en-
broideries silk tulle, mousseline, chiffon,
braidS and galloons are probable elements.
Even on the simpler outdoor frocks there
is an apparent tendency to needless intri-
cacy. For instance, a goifng gown of dark
blue flannel was most remarkably set off
with a bolero cut into deep indentations,
but held firmly in place by buttoned tabs
crossing the open spaces. The star-shaped
double collar was achieved by the use Of
an upper and lower section the over one
a sailor and the under one a star-shaped
affair. These were pretuly bound with
white. and over the blouse of striped pique
the effectiveness of the queerly cut jacket
could not be denied.
In Ecru Linen.
One of the most popular materials this
summer is ecru embroidered linen. 1t is
made up into delightful robes over slips of
taffeta in some delicate color. Salad green
is one Of the most favored shades for this
purpose. Gowns of foulard and of louisne
silk are frequently incrusted with medal
lions and squares of linen tucked and edg-
ed with some pretty lace.
Although the shirt waist costume has
achieved such a success. it does not ap-
pear to have disturbed the satisfactory
business which designers of blouses and
shirt waists have been doing for several
seasons. BlOuses Of zephyr, pique linen
washing silk or batiste, comfortable for
hot weat ier wear, yet sufficiently hand
some for ordinary dress, enjoy a high de-
gree of popularity. Those of embroidered
batiste are as expensive as silk ones, but
are much more elegant. Blouses of wash
silk are considered worthy of any amount
of work and are tucked and stitched to a
degree that would have been considered
superfiuous for a washable waist sea-
son or so ago. Some blouses are even hand
embroidered, and those which are APP
pliqued and inset with lace at the cost

USE UP OLD STRAW HATS

A Lovely Lamp Shade After 1t Is Gov.

Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
Often we find that old straw hats are
subjects Of grave consideration. Many of
them, we hear it said, are too good to be
thrown away, too fanciful to be given to
the poor and yet not quite modish enough
to tempt their owners into trimming them
up for another season. This, then, is the
time when it is best to transform them into
lamp shades. Most charming as lamp
shades they become, especially for summer
houses and verandas.s
To carry out the scheme is a simple mat
ter. Leghorns or very large garden hats of
rough straw are the most desirable. First
should the top of the crown be cut out,
when already, as can be imagined, the hat
will assume somewhat the shape of lamp
shade. Underneath it should then be wired
up and down as we'll as about the top and
bottom that it may be held in shape ard
bent gracefully, for above all else these
shades must have a free, foppy appear
ance. They do not look well if at all stiff
The trimming consists mostly of artificial
flowers and grasses which many women
have on hand from hats of preceding sum-
mers. Long, deep-green grasses are usual
~ hung about the lower edge as a fringe
If, however. the edges are not in good con-
dition it looks very well TO put about them
a O1 pllheu-Oul IdIGld eltncr
to match or contrast with the color of the
straw. A leghorn, for instance, would be
most effective with a grass green ruff
about the edges and a few large red pop
pies scattered over its surface. Sometimes
flowers that one has in the house are faded,
but even then their colors can be intensi-
fled by painting them afresh with either
tapestry dyes or water colors. Many old
straws can also be helped by touching them
up judiciously.
On the other hand, so pretty are these
straw lamp shades that it is quite worth
while to buy the hats should they not be
forthcoming in any other way. Late in the
season many decorative ones are sold at
remarkably low prices. To be effective
they should always be large. Deep yellow
ones of rough straw trimmed with but
tercups and grasses are unusually pretty
and cast a golden glow when the lamp
under them is lighted. The wholly green
ones are also restful and attractive.
when particular style or color of straw
Is desired it were best to buy it by the
yard and then sew 1t together over a wire
frame 1t is also in this way that the sim
liar and very small shades for candlesticks
are made, and which are quite enchanting
as they decorate the four corners OF
table or cast a glimmer from some dim
corner Of the veranda.

Written for The Evening Star.
The recent death of a daughter of Pres
ident Zachary Taylor raises the question
of how many Presidents daughters are
now living.
In the Louise Home at Washington is
charming and interesting woman, now an
octogenarian, who once diffused an atmos-
phere of gaiety and brightness throughout
the Executive Mansion, lending something
of her natural brightness and charming
personality to such of the White House
functions as she presided over, for in those
days 1t was not at all the functions by
any means that women were present. In
deed, excepting the dinners given the cab
met officers and the diplomatic corps, there
was but one occasion, during Mrs Semple's
residence at the White House. when wo-
men were present at public dinners, and
that was when the Prince de Joinville was
entertained there

Poison in SILK Stockings.

In producing certain delicate colors in
silk. chloride of tin is used as a mordaunt
and 1t Is said that unless great care is
taken a large proportion of it remains In
the completed fabric. In the case Of stock
ings or any garment next the skin the per-
spiration may dissolve the tin, and 1t is
then absorbed by the skin. A case is re-
ported from Vienna of woman who suf-
fered from attacks of paralysis In the
lower extremities, with numbness a sense
or coldness and a peculiar jerkiness of the
legs in walking. She noticed that when
ever these symptoms were the worst her
feet were colored yellow, and 1t was found
that this staining was caused by light vel
low silk stockings which she wore. They
were analysed and considerable quantities
Of tin found. The obvious moral Of this,
says the Hospital, is that ladies should not
wear pretty silks next their skin in hot
weather unless they can be sure they are
not mordaunted with tin salts. Colors
which are fast in relation to ordinary
washing are frequently readily soluble in

Crepes and Poplinettes.

AS regards fabrics, there is more sub
stance in the soft. clinging crepe de chine
and satins of today than in the tulles of
yore. Many women complain of the price
of crepe de chine. but it is really a good
investment. for no fabric cleans SO beauti-
fully, and when the powers of the cleaner
have been exhausted the dyer's art can be
resorted to. Thus it is seen that crepe de
chine is a most serviceable fabric, which
can do duty equally well for day or even
ing wear
Another fashionable fabric of the same
silky texture is poplinette, which likewise
can be worn on various occasions. These
poplinettes vary IN quality. Some are en-
tirely of silk, and others are of silk and
wool, resembling a very fine canvas, akin
to yoile but of softer finish.
