MANDATES OF FASHION.
Light-Weixht Wraps for Evening
Wear and other Dress Notions
Of the Season.

Repousse lace in two tones is one of
the new fads. With the raised design
in ecru, upon a blue ground, it is espe-
cially effective, says the Chicago Daily
News.
Sprigged or Powered brussels net or
malines with lace or scalloped edge is
effective and becoming when the
thread lace veil is beyond reach.
The loose unlined jacket of lace adds
much to the summer gowns modish-
ness. 1t should not reach moresthan
few inches below the waist line, at its
longest in the back. and may escape
the waist line entirely, but must be
longer in front, possibly falling In.
scarf ends to the bottom of the skirt.
The thing of the moment is the new
coat-or, rather, cape-made of the
same cloth as the skirt. This takes the
place of the loose bolero and on cool
| days will be worn instead of the stole,
boa or ruffle. These capes are also
made in coarse lace, guipure or en-
broidery, and, indeed, out of anything
that is handsome enough to correspond
with the skirt beneath.
/
have been informed that blue and
green (the Scotch plaid colors) are
passe and therefore beneath the con-
slderatlon of the smart woman. But
French milliners still conjure with
blue and green creations. These are
either in the various toque shapes or
in stiff hats. The shades are of two
sorts-the soft blue of the sky and the
delicate green of spring foliage and
the deeper green's and blues famous in
the tartans. These charming schemes
are worked out in fine straws and rib
bons; quilts, foliage and flowers are
often added. So is tulle.
Novelty in stocks is not so easy to
achieve. Every conceivable thing has
been thought out. A good idea, new in
the shops and easily duplicated at
home, is to run the tabs" all the way
around, instead of combining them &c
the front. The stock seen was first a
straight band of white embroidery
To the top of it were stitched tabs OF
blue linen, a little distance apart, and
caught in at the bottom of the band te
fit the neck: These tabs varied il
length, some running two inches be
low the band, some three or four. The
ends were pointed and ornamenteG
with round medallions of white EN-
broidery. Another idea is a straight
high collar of blue or olive green linen
with lily or a butterfly embroidered
in white on the front. Each side of thu
design is a deep curved turnover O
white linen, and there is a double tai
OF the white, with another lily or but
terfiy on the lower tab.

UNIQUE PANTRY DOOR.
An Idea That Ii Worth Initiating
In Houses Where Things Have
to Be Crowded"

Not having any too much room in
my pantry, which was originally a hall
cupboard, / utilized the door in the
manner shown. The smaller articles
have tacks as hangers, for the larger
ones small hooks are better. These
can be bought for a few cents per
dozen, and do not damage the wood
as does a nail. The ring by which the
chopping bowl hangs (on the lower
part of the door,, was formerly on
window shade, but was found to be
just the thing for this purpose. The
lids are held in place by fine wire
stretched across the panel to small
tacks driven in the edge of the
molding.
The little pocket above the stewpan
holds my bread tickets, for living is
high in this town, and we. find that
bread for two is cheaper bought than

BLOCK OF AUTOGRAPH QUILT.

with shows the pattern of the block,
greatly reduced. The whe lis were
first basted carefully on the muslin
blocks, then the blocks were distrfb-
uted among the ladies of the So
ciety with the request that they
whip the edges of the wheels with red
silk thread-which was given out
with the blocks-and secure names
enough to fill the white spaces in the
wheel, the charge for each name TO
be ten cents. When all the blocks
were finished and sewed together.
good penman was chosen to write
the names on each block as handed
in, the name of the maker of the
block being placed in the center and
the other names between the spokes.
This was done with indelible ink.

the quilt for ten dollars, thus making

THE STOCKING BASKET.
1t Contains Work About Which There
IL \ Peculiar Charm for
the Housewife.

Mending stockings might we'll be
thought prosaic occupa ton, if not a
dull one. The woman who sits down
every week before 20 pairs, worn by
active feet, big and little, often finds
the pile discouraging, although she
would not have it smaller by a single
pair. says Youths Companion.
But there is curious, half-myster-
ious charm in the work. 1t is as if it
typified all wifely and motherly duty
Even the maiden aunt, with darning-
needle in her hand, has the air of the
matron. The contest corner in the
house is. most fit for the stocking
basket and its presiding genius. An
incontestable verdict against a gor-
geous palace recently built by a rich
man was pronounced by woman, her
self both refined and rich: There isn't
a spot in the whole house where could
darn stocking!"
It is amusing or pathetic but true,
that the modern stocking should have
taken the place held by the medieval
shield. To bide at home and polish the
shield was then the sign of wifely de-
yotion. The worn stocking may not
lend itself so easily to the demands of
poetry, but it is none the less beauti-
full and appropriate symbol.
There was time within 20 years
when it seemed as if stocking-mendine
were doomed. The needle was temper
arily discarded. Aclever writer, speak
ing of the fact, said it was the natural
reaction from an age which worked
wool parrots with beaded eyes to an
age which hires outsiders to darn its
stockings. But to-day the pendulum
has swung back. and my lady presides
again over the stocking basket
whether it is filled with dainty Partisan
hose of silk, or with stout wooden
socks, fit for tussle with thorn and
wind and weather.

In the nursery tales the famous old
woman who is creidted with the desire
to sweep the cobwebs off the sky" was
armed with broom, and in the house
hold realm the broom has long been
recognized as the most effective
medium for busting the walls and
sweeping the obnoxious cobweb from
its lofty resting place, says the Brook

living in country town, however,
states that in this advanced age walls
and woodwork are best busted with a
Iong-handled window brush covered
with canton flannel. "The brush not
being in such frequent demand asthe

its cover on. and is always ready for an
