DINNER GOWNS
OF MODERATE COST.

A man who has been working in the
city all day likes to see his wife look
ing pretty and dainty when he comes
home to dinner, and dressing for din
ner is really economical rather than
extravagant for any one who is clever
enough to remodel her own gowns.
Summer frocks can nearly always be
done up to look quite nice and fresh for
home evening wear and will save ones
new autumn and winter gowns in a
quite wonderful manner, for a thin
dress is always comfortable in the
evening even in cold weather, for rooms
are warm when the lamps are lighted
and curtains drawn.
There are still many old fashioned
middle class people who seem to think
that to change ones dress in the even
ing is Indicative of extravaganza or of
moral depravity, or both. an idea which
has survived from the days when even
wealthy middle class people dined in
the middle of the day. People are
wiser now and have learned thatswhen
they have to work hard all day it is
better to dine late, especially as the
vast majority of business men find the
evening meal the only one they can en-
joy al home and at leisure.
light silk will wash beautifully at
home. Do not rub any soap on it, but
make a nice IdlneF with soap ana water
that has been softencd by boiling bran
in tia pound of bran in big muslin
bag to a gallon of water. 1t should be
just warm when used Wash the silk
quickly and thoroughly, wiring and
rinse in clear tepid water with little
salt dissolved in it. Pass through a
wringer and hang it out in the shade to
dry. When nearly dry, iron on the
right side with a moderately warm
iron, having a sheet of tissue paper be-
tween the iron and the silk.
This method is successful for light
tinted silks and satins of all kinds and
for muslins and delicate wooden fabrics
also, such as wolfe, delaine nuns veil
ing and cashmere, but these should be
rinsed in tepid and not in cold water.

piano looks, with its pol
ished wood exposed to ev-
- cry ray of light that pene-
trates the parlor. As the
instrument costs so much. it seems the
part of economy to protect it from dust
and scratches. The fact is that the pro-
tecticn or decoration of the piano is
seldom given a thought Too much
drapery about an instrument is a mis-
take, of course. 1t deadens the sound
Acoustics teach us that the best music
al effects are obtained in apartments
with very few hangings but judicious
use of embroideries will greatly en-
nance the beauty of any instrument.
Every one is nowadays sufficiently
intelligent to keep the back of the piano
away from the Wall in order that the
best tonal effects may be obtained. Of
ten the piano is so situated that a small
alcove may be formed by placing it
across the wall in the neighborhood of
a corner.
Sometimes the rough back may be
hidden by a framed screen. Just at
present screens are in high favor, and
a great many very pretty and appro-
pirate designs can be purchased in the
shops.
Any one with skill in tapestry work
may fashion a beautiful screen for use
in the music room (if a single apart
ment is set aside for that purpose) or
for service in distracting attention from
the back of the piano. Instead of tap
estry sheets of white water color pa
per may be utilized for panels. The de-
signs should be roughly painted upon
.-aem, with no attempt at finish in de-
tail. Touches of gold paint will bright
en- the design when a brilliant effect is
aimed at.
Subjects for music screen decorations
are numerous. A screen of three Sec
tions may be adorned with pictured
representations of Euterpe. the song
stress; Terpsichore, of choral and dane
ing harmonies; Polyhymnia, the muse
of sacred lyrics. If an extra panel is
desired for the screen, Calliope, consid-
cred the muse of patriotic music. NAV
be added. A little study of the classical
dictionary viii suggest characteristic
poses in which to sketch the muses.

A bouquet sprayed with water and
placed under a bell glass will last many
Gays longer than if simply placed in a
sase or bowl, While if a buttonhole or a
spray for the hair is required to look
fresh all day or at an evening fete a
dab of sealing wax at the end of the
stalks will keep the flowers fresh for
many hours.
Niolets, primroses and many other
simple flowers if placed in a bed of sand
and kept moist will keep fresh for some
weeks, While such flowers as foxgIoves,
campanulas, etc, if placed in water,
with the bottom leaves on the stalks
kept under water, will last thrice as
long as if the leaves were stripped off

lining of quilted satin perfumed
with sachet powder, with a cord of silk
to frame the cover, completes a useful
bit OF fancy work.
Music portfolios are expensive.
Homemade ones cost less and are hand
somer. The back of an old book over
laid with a decorated cover of silk, sat
in or linen will make as good music
holder as any to be bought in the
stores. When the outside of the cover
has been ornamented with an appro-
pirate design, it should be lined with
silk or sateen and tied with ribbons.
Harps and Tyres intwined with flowers
are suggested as appropriate decorative
devices.
In many homes sheet music is stored
in small wooden cabinet. A cover
similar to that for the grand piano and
an embroidered curtain may be made
to finish off the cabinet.
No handsomer wedding gift for a
bride or holiday remembrance for a
musical friend could be devised than
set of these pieces of fancy work.
