The Chaperon In Samoa.

The chaperon is an important person
in Samoa. She is the constant com
panioh OF the taupou, or village guide,
who is appointed to entertain stran-
gers and show them the various sights.
Each village in Samoa elects a girl fer
this office, and it is necessary that she
should be the daughter of a chief.
Her house is provided for her by the
village. and she is surrounded by Il
court of native girls. No man who
lives in the village is allowed to enter
the sacred precincts, and the taupou
GOES nowhere without an elderly wom-
an. II the taupou resigns her office,
the Chief can appoint another damsel

Republicans had large majority in

Tashlons For miss simplicity.

If only more women appreciated the
beauties of simplicity! When you stoI
to think Of 1t, it's always the very sim
pie hat or dress that you most admire
To be sure, there may be lot Of worE
on it, or more expense. This same
pleasing simplicity may, of course, also
belong to absolutely plain things, anc
these are the most admirable of al
when they are becoming and well done
This is all especially good to remember
at this season, when really simple wash
frocks are in the best Of taste. Those
Of us with slim bank accounts cannot
fail to be grateful for this.
No more pretty and serviceable white
shirt waist suit is to be found thar
that Of India linen. 1t is sheer enough
to be dainty and not sheer enough to
require an underslip. A very pretty
one is perfectly simple save for the EN-
broidery bands that form the stock and
wristbands. This embroidery shows
lozenge-shaped opening, but its wearer
elects to wear the bands of black vel
vet underneath instead Of run through.
With broad black velvet ribbon sash
this suit is elegance personifed, and,
without the sash, cheap and suitable
for even accomplishing light household
duties In.
Quite as worthy Of description is tho
smart little hat worn with this dress,
1t is Of softly pretty rice straw in the
pure white, and would be a rolling
brim sailor but for the slashes which
leave the back in the shape of q broad
tab. A black wing is curved toward
the front on the right brim, similar one
curving toward the back on the under
side Of the slightly upturned left brim
A short zigzag Of black ribbon, each
side the front, is terminated under q
black straw cabochon. 1t is exceeding
ly plain, but most modish
A gay and perhaps correct enough
touch to these white shirt waist SUITE
is the elbow-long gloves of black silk

are as modish in handgear as in hos.

Apropos of embroidery and fancy
work in general, "set' of linen given
to a bride the other day was about as
pretty as could be imagined. The
tablecloth was round and of pale blue
linen, inserted with medalions Of ecru
guipure lace. The serviettes had small
central medalions and a narrow line of
lace just inside Of the hemstitched bor-
ders.
Among a bewildering collection of
examples of fine stltchery are shown
some very pretty table centres. A de-
lightful one in pale coral linen had ap.
piled poppies in conventional design,
their dull green leaves enframing the
irregular edge as If they had been real
flowers laid upon II. A cot cover was
carried out in the same materials and
hues, but in a different pattern; here
the pointed leaves met over the pop
pies heads like cherub's wings. An
other natural flower idea was a table,

peas.

The Piazza.

Sometimes in the building Of piazza
a tree will be found in the way, and
rather than spoil the width of the
summers resting place, down comes
the tree. Why? l know Of ole piazza
that is the comfort and beauty Of a
country house nestled in among pine
trees. At one end Of the generous
floor space is a square hole through
which grows a Scotch pine; a similar
hole in the roof admits of its exit again
to out-of-doors, and the tree spreads
over the roof above. High in the air
ats hands are extended in grateful ben
diction, while the birds nest in its
branches. Even if the piazza is NOT
built of rustic design, it can have
rustic furniture as its finishing. Chairs
and benches can be made with plain
backs and seats painted the color Of
the floor; tables made with cedar posts,
and queer little stools with crooked
legs. The uses for tables on a piazza
are endless. A long bench is a delight
full equipment, making an out.of-door
couch, with a long cushion to cover the
hard bottom, and the countless small
cushions which make for luxurious
comfort. Piazza mating rugs give the
floor furnished appearance and save
much wear on paint. The'woven mat
ting awnings that are much in vogue
are the most practical. These roll
down from the piazza roof and fasten
to the railing They shut out any too
persistent sunshine, the sudden shower
or the gaze Of the neighbors. A rustic
screen to shut off any corner of the
piazza can easily be made of fancy
mating stretched to a frame Of cedar
posts.-Marjorie March, in Good House
keeping.
