Embroidered Gowns.

The fad for embroidered gowns
brings many pretty fancies to the fore,
and woman who has an artistic sense
and is clever with her neeL.o can beau
tify her cotton gowns in any number
of effective ways.
Here, for instance, Is suggestion
for wash cambria that is simple, and
yet has a wonderfully pretty effect:
Make a shirt waist costume of white
linen cambria, plating both the waist
and skirt, and then over the plaits
around the neck, across the bust, and
just below the hips place three gar
lands of colored flowers. Make them
in this way:
Take wash ginghams OF the colors
required-say a pale green and pale
plnk-cut five petaled flowers of the
latter and heart shaped leaves of the
former; then, apart from the dress,
buttonhole stitch the edges with
coarse wash silk. This will make a
substantial trimming which may then
be sewed on the material in the way
suggested, connecting stems and ten
drills can be put in running stitch
afterward with the green embroidery
sill

Wells for the Country.

Wells of white chiffon set off with a
narrow border of black chiffon are
among the novelties. The wells are
wide enough to cover the entire face
and descend below the chin. This is
necessary to prevent the branded
look" which a soiled black veil border
produces when the line passes across
the mouth or chin, positive disfigure-
ment to the wearer. These affairs are
styled "Broadwalk Wells" but eney
may be worn at country villages and
at Springs" and mountain resorts far
from the coast.

A Hint From the CLEANER.

A cleaner gave away enough OF his
secret for renovating materials to
prove very valuable to one woman.
If gasoline, naphtha, or benzine is the
cleaning fluid the amateur cleaner
finds often that the last state of the
cloth is worse than the first. Around
the spot will be ring of discoloration
that marks the stain more thoroughly
than did the original spot. To prevent
this the fabric should be cleaned with
a piece of the same goods, the cloth
rubbed lengthwise and with the weave.
Continue rubbing until the material is
perfectly dry. If these directions are
carefully followed, it is safe to clean
the most delicate materials.

Cleaning Wash elk Waists.

The most satisfactory way to clean
a wash silk waist is to wash it in a
suds made of benzine or gasoline and
white soap. Afterward it should be
rinsed in fresh benzine, and, If it is
wrinkled, it may be pressed with a
warm tatiron after it is dry. A hot
iron could not. of course, be used on a
garment wet with benzine or gasoline
The rinsing fluid may be poured from
the sediment which will collect at the
bottom and saved for another occasion,

The blouse is made with a fitted

Evidently the fashion in pearls dates

not fix the period, but it is said they
were never more popular than at pres

takes years to select the pearls for
a single necklace. Imitation pearls
can easily be turned out round and all

How to Dress for Your Photo.

will be useful to many when deciding
how to dress if having their photo

and plain black materials, without
gloss, will take a rich black color.
Dark drab, dark orange, crimson and
slate will take a very rich drab color.

will look white, and should be avoided.
