laundress TO boil and bleach them as

According to the experienced dress
maker, there is more silk in wear this
summer than ever before. Her books
show ten silk frocks made up for every
one of wool or cotton. Next after the
silk ranks the use of linen. Pongee
and foulsrd and the joy of light dress
ing in hot weather is the cause of it
all, she says, but so far this has been
an unusually cool summer, and the
pongees are lined in lots of cases with
heavy cotton, at least where stout
women are concerned. At this moment
the absorbing fancy in pongee is The
use Herewith of richly embroidered
banks of linen. The embroidery Is
done in small East Indian designs and
colors, and the effective way of treat
ing the gowns is shown in a sketch of
a garden party dress. The skirt of
this is tucked perpendicularly from
the hips, as are ninety-nine of every
round hundred of skirts one sees; a
deep hem is turned up at the foot,
and above this is set the embroidery
done of very heavy and very coarse
brown linen. The same type of en-
broidery treats the waist, which opens
in a long down the front to display
a shirred vest of dotted yellow and
white silk muslin. Silk muslin is the
material of the parasol.
There is by the way, a brand new
hobby in parasols. This is firstly the
mosaic wood handle, which comes
from Paris. 1t is a sort of Chippen-
dale handle with a lovely cut crystal
ball at the bottom, and in the center

Protest Against French Cooking
Slang.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Within the last few decades England
has stumbled into the stupid belief
that no dinner can be served that is
not indeXed, II we may SO use the term,
in unintelligible French. In most
British clubs, in the houses of the most
loyal English, an@ in the most modest
of our London restaurants, the menu
makes its appearance in a French
dress. The poor Briton, who doesn't
understand a word of it, consults a
condescending waiter in a hushed
father for not having taught him
French. But the uncultured Briton
does not know that the most learned
in the French language, nay, the very
French themselves, cannot make head
or tail of this same menu. What, for
instance, could an Englishmah, how
ever versed in French, understand by
"bombes de Fachado," which figured
in restaurant menu some few years
ago? Or what can a FTenchman CLEAN
of mutton. beef, or chicken "a la GAL
lifet?" The truth is, the French cook
has been allowed to play a huge prac-
teal joke on the dining world, and it
is high time the world protested. It
may be ignominious to apply the Ian
guage of Shakespeare and Milton to
the Affairs of knife and fork, but even
that ignominy is to be welcomed IL II
supplant the WORKOUT jests of the
French cook. Nor could a better time
be found for establishing the English
menu on the English dinner table than
coronation year.
