Dress Hints.

A great many tea gowns are being made
of light blue, cream and tones of violet
crepe de chine, swathed to the figure IN
graceful lines. A new use has been found
for this material in Innings for the smartest
cloaks Of the day, so that when the wearer
raises her arm she displays any number
of ruche edged frills. Capes of this thin
material are thrown on in a ball room IL
there is any fear of draft.
Boleros now often accompany long bell
sleeves and are slipped on and off, as oc-
casion requires, for warmth. the shirt show
ing beneath generally made with bishop
sleeves. Such jackets are bordered with
fur as well as the handsome passementerie
and can be made to do duty with many
skirts, which are trimmed with cordings
and killings and fiounces cut on the round

Fittings.
Scallops border many founces and many
side trimmings on skirts
Corselet belts prove so becoming that
they are almost universally worn with any
sort of bolero. They almost much
trouble to make as a bodice, for they
quire to be boned and fitted with great
exactitude.

Japanese housekeeping.

have their household duties to perform. and
no matter how rich the family, japanese

that is. the dealers call and offer wares for

Nearly all japanese women make their
own clothes; at all events, even the very
richest embroider their garments them

dressmakers and do much planning. cutting
basting and making over.
Dinner is served at or a little before dusk
the year around. small table about one
foot square and eight inches high is set
before each person. On this is a lacquer
tray, with space for four or five dishes
each four or five inches in diameter. There
are definite pieces for each little bowl and

bowl in the middle. Ones appetite is meas

Great nicely and artistic taste are used in
the preparation of the dinner. Foods are

are used by the cook such, for instance
as serving an omelet in the shape of a
