A Few Words About New shir.wsi,t.,.

Though grass linen and white seem to
have the lead in the seasons shirtwaists.
some wonderfully-fetching specimens of
This popular garment are brought out in
other Colors. One in old hlue-that pref
ty soft blue every woman loves--was Of
canvas cloth. And, by the way. this is
one of the chic materials for shirtwaists.
This pretty waist was tucked in groups.
and between each group was fine line
of white hemStitching The tucks were
hemstitched, and the whole thing was
just as dainty piece of handiwork as
could be imagined. The choker was a
turnover of the canvas cloth, with a
pretty white tie, with narrow insettings
of the waist material.
The new point about the shirtwaist
stock is this tie Of sheer white lawn,
tucked or banded with narrow insetS OF
the waist material. 1t IL one of the pref
test bits OF shirtwaist ncckwear we have
had for many season. 1t gives the
touch Of white at the throat brought
into harmony By the bit of fabric of
which the waist is built. II ties in a
very jaunty fetching little bow.
\ pretty grass linen waist was made
quite simply with tuckS in groups, the
only adornmcnt being two little revcrs
tucked tranSverSely in tiny thread tucks
Another grass linen was embroidered all
over i'll white silk. There are few yokes
seen. and these are simulated by fine
tuckS rather than real. Small pearl but
tons trim many of the waists. and the
popular pattern seems to he the length.
wise tuck. Sometimes it is all over,
sometimes in groups separated by EN-
broldery or Insertion, but it is almost esm-
nipreSent. And it is very pretty STYLE.
1t gives the long effect now So fashion

This new wood is known in house deco

600. Many of the handsome homes in
our own suburbs along the main line and

Chinese VS.. Christian Diet.

Visiting Chinese market is a strange
experience; it is like fairy-tale happen
ing. Scheherezade could have made an
other week of tales in the Arabian
Nihgts" out of the Impetus given to the
imagination by an hours study Of the
hsh, flesh and fowl and bone of the
Chinese market, says Harper's Bazaar.
Where could such things grow that are
so unlike anything ever eaten by a Chris
tan! And the nameless things floating
in liquid held in bowls, what can they
be? Even the fresh green vegetables and
salads are unlike any vegetation pro-
duced by a morally conducted kitchen
garden. Mice, snakes, carrion-eating
birds, inedible shell-fiSh. these are the
words that keep us from wishing to try
Chinese dishes, and our great horror is
that we shall even smell them.
Now what do the eaters of these foods
think of the diet, which is the proper diet
because we so declare it? What sugges-
tive words flash in their celestial brains
when certain European dainties are set
before themF Did not Minister WI and
the sixteen brocaded gentlemen of his
suite give at a dinner party reprOof
which should make all Christendom
blush? When the Roquefort cheese was
passed he withdrew his insuted nose as
far as possible from the offending dish
with celestial hauteur. and piled his fan
with evident purpose The sixteen all
did the same, and the table was sur
rounded with China's disapproval of civ
itization'S Offering. The moral is, that
If our faults of palate are great enough
to disgust another nation, should not our
sense of humor keep us from jeering at
their peculiartieS.

How TO Lift the Skirt Gracefully.

American women have much to learn
in the matter of raising the skirt, and
the lesson could Toe best taught by their
French cousins. To begin with, the
French woman wears short petticoatS,
hardly below the boot tops. American
skirts barely escape the floor, and are
bound TO catch whatever aust and dirt
are lying about, and, Of course, deposit
il upon the shoes.
French women grasp, firmly and east
ly, the folds of the skirt at the back in
such fashion that the drapery is grace
fully lifted at the sides rs well as ut the
back, and without calling undue atten-
ton to the lines of the figure In this
way skirt petticoat and shoes are all
kept clean. and furnish a strong reason
Tor the unkindness bestowed by French
women upon the short walking skirt
When they need the effect of drapereS.
they can have it by merely dropping the
folds of the skirt.

sashes are to be seen on many of the
new gowns. The brocaded ribbons the

ished with elaborate silk fringes never
less than four or five inches in depth
The ribbon should be cut in a round
point. not a square. and the fringe then
falls very gracefully.
Sashes wide and sashes narrow will be
worn with the summer frock. When
made of narrow ribbons they will have
many ends, each tipped with gold or
silver ferret. Another method of ar
