The Newest Fashions.

Blucherettes are the fad of the mo-
ment in footwear.
Satin chiffon is a pretty new ribbon
for summer gowns.
Suede hand coverings are slowly
forging to the front for summer
wear.
Chiffon wells, with self-colorcd dots
widely spaced, are the vogue of the
hour in wells.
Grass linen coaching parasols lined
with a contrasting silk are in high
favor just now.
DiaphanOus textures, both for morn
ing or evening wear, mark the extreme
of summer vogue.
The very much bloused effect has
been so modified upon smart bodices
as to be scarcely recognizable
A leading modiste says that the
first principle Of being well dressed
is to be appropriately dressed.
The costume idea in a gown is the
prevailing fashion this year, the jacket
and skirt suit being decidedly passe.
Shirt waist suits of pongee or Shan
tung vie with those Of foulard for first
place in the affections of the summer
girl.
Medallion effects, produced by lace
motifs in applique, still remain one of
the most popular trimming ideas Of
the season.
Fashion now distinguishes between
a travelling gown and a train gown.
Women OF the smart set wear the for
mer for going long distances from
home, while the latter is much fussier
and is for running into town for the
day from the out-of-town house.

ity. But in her short reign Of twelve
years Q702-171D we had Addison, Con.
greve, Defoe, Pope, Prior. Swift AMI
other authors; Newton and Berkeley,
with their valuable discoveries in sci
ence, then truly in its infancy; the
great Duke Of Marlborough winning his
brilliant victories, and the union of
England and Scotland.
But it was in the reign OF Queen
Victorla-the longest in British annals
that the greatest advances were
made in all departments Of human
knowledge. This reign of nearly six.
ty-four years witnessed great literary
achievements, great contributions to
art and music, tremendous progress in
medical science, the prolongation of
human life and the alleviation Of hu.
man suffering, the abolition Of ancient
abuses and extraordinary strides in
education and philanthropy. Though
the distance travelled since the Victor
ian era is but fraction Of historical
time, yet it is already plain that we
are in another hemisphere, and that
the most human, intellectual and pro.
gresslve reign in the worlds history is
behind us.-Boston Transcript.

Charming ParAsoIs.

Parasols are almost all things, but

finished without frills. Black and
white, white, pompadOur and lowered
silk, lace, chiffon and batiste are all
in vogue and are used in innumerable
ways, the Washington Post declares.
The good old standby, the coaching
umbrella, is here, as 1t is each year,
and without noticeable change, but in
silks Of exquisite color. Those who
can afford the luxury buy parasols, as
they do gloves. for each and every
gown, and to such the lovely pale
pinks, blues, all alike appeal with pc
cullar charm. Less fortunate but more

The Correct Coinare.

At the recent international competi
tlon OF modern hairdresslng, held in
London, the 'negligee colffure was al
most unrepresented. Studied and sym.
metrical dressings were the rule, and
more than one dressing was hopelessly
spoiled by a prOfusion Of ornamental
ton" The prize offered by the French
ambassador was awarded to an Eng
lishman, who adopted a low dressing,
as did nearly every other competitor,
and an Indefinite Marcel wave was
sparingly used. The hair in front
was slightly parted to the left, and
puffed rather full to each side. Mar.
teau curls fitted closely on either side
OF a figure s that narrowed on to the
neck. Side ornaments of tortoise shell
and a high comb at the back and
short spray of geraniums in the front
heightened the effect of the coiffure,
which appeared less studied, and yet
more finished than the rest"
Hairdressers are scarcely to be
blamed for lavish use Of combs and
ornaments, since they look to the sale
of these articles for some of the profits
Of their trade--a branch which the
wearing Of flowers, real and artificial,
had considerably lessened. We have
already returned to the fashion of
jeweled combs and ornaments, but
nothing will ever snit the young face
as well as the simple wreath of flow
ers.-New York Commercial Alver-

Grasse and Perfumea.

gal. Omittlng allusion to more remote
periods, we have the authority of the
historian Bouche for the statement
that. in 11S0, all European countries
provided themselves with soaps manu-.
featured at Grasse, while the town
was also famous for its oils. In 1920
as Masa informs us, its odorOus es.
sences, fine oils, exquisite fruits and
renowned feathers were a source of
great prosperity.
1t may interest many to know that
according to the testimony Of the
greatest historical authority upon
Grasse now living. nothing precise has
as yet been discovered in the munich
pal archives relating to the origin of
the perfumery works.

the extent of the business transacted
by these numerous firms may be

that during the month Of May alone

distilled daily.-The Gentleman's Mag

A Food Chopper.

One Of the most useful kitchen uten-
slls for either bride or matron is a food
chopper. Designed originally for meats
its offices have been so enlarged as to
include vegetables, nuts, bread crumbs,
figs, citrons, raisins, cheese, mint OF
anything. Elsewhere chopping. coarse
or extremely fine is required. The new
cutters come with several adjustments
to fit the purpose desired, and hashes,
croquettes, timbales and all kinds Of
potted meats and fish can be prepared
in about a tenth Of the time required
by the old chopping bowl and knife
method. The best choppers are easily
cleaned, easily put together and easy
to operate.
