lace is to be the principal material for
trimming summer costumes, and thar it
will be put on the gowns in the shape
of insertions, appliques and flounces. The
much beruffled effect on skirts is only
suited to exceptional styles of figures,
and women are wise enough to know
this. Consequently ruffled skirts viii Lee

blessed with slender and graceful forms

however, are suitable for almost anyone.
although very stout women will find it
best to cling to the single-shaped founce
On many Riviera gowns intended for
afternoon wear there is a tendency to
show as much of the neck as possible.
Like the question of the all frilled skirts,
this is a matter that every woman will
settle according to her personal peculiar
tiles.
The lace trimmings for summer gowr1
may be prepared at home. Lace APP
pliques on net silk, muslin or crepe de
chine may be combined to advantage
with almost any light summer silk.
Laces are applied in bands down the

ARTS, Feb. 15:-spring froclas win
follow the lines laid down by
Partisan dressmakers in design
ing Riviera gowns. Those made
for afternoon and evening wear
are dainty corrections of the
softest and thinnest silk and lace, cos
tunes that may be admirably copied in
the sheer fabrics of summer. Take, for
instance, a costume of white mOuSseline
de sole with plated skirt of shapely pro-
portions finished around the lower part
with groups of fine horizontal tuci1s and
supplemented by two base nounces Of
moderately wide lace. Horizontal plaits
encircling the skirt about the hips form
ed the novel touch of this costume and
suggested that it may best be duplicated
in some nonwashable fabric, as the COM
bination of tucks may prove difficult for
the laundress
The bodice was a simple loose affair,
with no other garniture than square
lace collar and some pink mousseline de
sole roses. A row of horizontal tucks
about the upper part of the sleeves per-
mitted the rest of their length to eX-
pand into a very full putting Of the
mousseline which was caught in about
each wrist by straight cuff of lace.
Roses fashioned by pink mousseline de
sole arranged in garlands or scattered
over the skirt made a handsome deco
ration on the model frock, but one which
it would scarcely be worth while Gupli-
eating on any but an evening dress.
Taffeta gowns will be worn so much
during the spring and summer that it
is we'll to know that lace is the accepted
trimming for them. A variation from
the customary fat application was to
be noted on a taffeta gown Of changea-
bic brown green, upon which draped
scarfs of lace encircled the decolletage
Iii
they outlined shaped flounce. Buc-
kles of glittering paste clasped the lace
and formed the points of departure for
loose ends of the lace. A fiat vest of all
over lace was inserted in the waist the
sleeves being completed by wrist putts
of chiffon threaded with black velvet
ribbons. The bodice was cut with plain
straight front of silk the ends of the
scarfs falling down each side of the lace
vest to the waist line, where a hand
some buckle secured them. From thes;
points the scarf ends fell over the skirt

rugs were carelessly laid across the floor.
The modern looking mahogany furni-
ture introduced many convenient ideas in
bedroom furnishing. One of these was a
combined wardrobe and chiffonier with
very wide drawers set between two mar
row closets. A little medicine cupboard,
supplied with a glass door lined with a
piece of blue silk upon brass rods, was
hung just at the head of the narrow
wooden bed.
The most artistic and up to date beds,
owing to a change in fashion, are now
made of wood, carved or inlaid The
bed cover of blue linen was appliqued
with designs in darker blue and gold
representing peacock feathers. A small
table, round and highly polished, sup
ported a cut glass vase, in which it was
intended that a cluster of flowers Should
be daintily poised.

Women testers.

Abdul Hamid the great assassin keeps
a troop of sixty testers to amuse the IN
mates of his seragliO on the BOsporus.
These testers give the lie to the old say
ing that women have no sense of HUI
NOR" for every one of these professional
Jokers is of the gentler sex Nor is the
Turkish sultan's harem the only one in
Oriental countries that is provided with
a corps of amusement makers.
Poor indeed is the Turk that has not
at least one jester for his women folks.
AS rule there are al least two, one to
sing and play musical instruments and
one to tell stories and crack jokes to
make laughter for the grave and bearded
master of the house and his dark-eyed
beauties. Where they are only few of
these testers they divide the work and
are generally "all-around' humorists, but
where there are many the work is spe-
cialized, and each individual has an OPP
portunity to perfect herself in her spe-
cialty.
Western visitors rarely see these laugh

wastes Of the blue cartridge paper An
interesting feature of the collection of
blue prints was a series of outlines of
skeleton leaves. She had been engaged
some time in making the set and had OBJ
tanned specimens of leaves from all parts
OF the world, so that her set was pretty
complete. The leaves had been skeleton
lied by the use of chemicals, and the
specimens, mounted on transparent paper
had been printed slowly in the sun the
blue print showing a tracery of delicate
white lines to represent the leaf skeleton.
Her set also showed many specimens
OF the lacemaker's art. Friends who had
pretty laces were quite willing to lead
them to her for a day or so because the
making of the print in no way injured the
fabrics.

binations that chance to be fashionable.
Blue is essentially the color of spirit
uality; its influence over the mind, so
say psychologists, is to induce a state
of calm and refined repose. Color spe-
cialists refer to the fact that the old
masters invariably clad their Madonuas
" robes of blue. Moreover is not the
sky blue, the beautiful, cloudless frma-
ment, with its subtle influences for good,
whether seen in the deep purple Of mid
night or the lucent azure of a midsum-
mer day? Occulists say that those who
wear blue and live in an atmosphere
charged with blue will develop the placid
beauties of character, for blue is called
the color of the angels.

recently designed by a famous firm Of
interior decorators for a woman who de-
lights in the novel and has sufficient
means to crafty her taste. firing of the
rather elaborate room which she had
just left in her town house, she gave
orders that something restful should be
designed for the country home to which
she wished to retire during Lent. Sure
ly nothing could have been more calcu-
lated to induce a prayerful mood and
give repose to the world weary soul than
the apartment which was evolved by the
designer.
The room, which was Of moderate
height, was covered with blue cartridge
paper, relieved by a frieze in blue and

of the corners. The object should be to

The washstand, with it's blue tiled back
and mahogany frame, was in strong con-
trast with the clumsy, old fashioned box
washstand, for it was built on much the
same plan as a table. The toilet china
was of blue and white delft, matching

Uses of the Lemon.

The household uses for the indispensa-
Bile lemon are various.
For bihousness the lemon is very bene-
hcial. and leaves no unpleasant after
effects: as do so many me dicines. 1t is
not wise to take lemons clear, without
properly diluting, on account Of injury
to the enamel of the teeth and unneces-
sary irritation Of the stomach Lemon
juice is highly recommended ~ remov-

A lemon bath is very popular in the
West Indies, and is said to be most re-

afford further field of endeavor for those
who make collections, and. after all, the

People rarely begin with a buster in

to prevent leaving finger marks when
steadying and lifting the furniture.
Each piece should be wiped lightly from
the top downward to remove dust and
