Of the silk fringe. Linen gowns are styl-
ishly trimmed with cotton fringe this sea-
son and many OF. the little fancy coats
Of pongee, which every smart girl finds
invaluable, are trimmed with silk fringe.
The picture hats are showing the high
crown. The all-white hat is much worn.
In lace 1t Is most fetching, with an o.
trich plume under the f1aring brim. A new
idea for a dressy hat is to have it made
of box-plaited maline. A hat of this sort,
recently designed for a New York belle,
was Of pale Lavender plated maline,
trimmed with one extraordinarily long
ostrich plume. The feather was exquisite
ly shaded, varying from pale violet to a
touch Of deep mauve at the end.
= Another new millinery idea is a picture
hat Of tulle stiffened with silk cords. The
fiaring brim, which has a decided scoop,
Is trimmed with a lattice of ribbon velvet.
Close to the hair is chou of shirred tulle
and an ostrich plume also falls over the
: briIn at the left side. The hat is made
with bandeau of velvet finished at the
top with a fold of foamy tulle. This style
of hat is developed In one color, gener-
ally.a pale tint being chosen, with the
velvet ribbon lattice in contrasting
shade or a darker tint Of the same color.

Amateur. gardeners who are planning
for! "a varied collection Of hardy perennials,
II they have given the plan a fair trial,
know that the most satisfactory method
on the whole, OF getting these sa satisfactory
plants, is to- raise them, especially II more
than two or three sample specimens are
wanted. s The expense OF. raising peren-
malls is practically nothing. and II one
succeeds atsI all, one usually succeeds
abundantly. Where only a few plants are
wanted of kinds difficult to secure from
seed, it Is easier and better to depend
upon the nurserymen! q
July is about the best season of the
year for starting perennials from seed,
both because 1t allows for plants getting
IA good start before their final transplant
ing in the fall and because the rush work
of getting the garden well started for the
summer lis over and there is time to be-
gin thinking of next year. Therefore, the
gardener who wants to try his hand at
raising his own perennials should prompt
ly make out his list and get his seeds as
quickly as possible.
Is Making a list Of the most desirable
plants is, quite as much a matter of taste
as making fayorite book lists, but 1t is
possible to name a limited list, In which
lit seems to- me no one could feel dissatis-
fed with one OF the varieties. In such a
list should certainly include hollyhocks,
especially the single and the Allegheny
varieties In mixed colors, digitalis, Cam
terbury bells Of all sthe single varieties
and ecolors, pyrethrurn hybridum, lychnis
lchalcedonica, coreopsis lanceolata, gail
lardia grandifiora, gysophila paniculata,
oriental and Iceland peoples, columbine,
i particularly the single kinds in yellow,
ipink, blue and mauve, s. forget me mot,
lgarden heliotrope, perennial slarkspur,
ipompom chrys anthemums, Scotch pinks
Tor dianthus piumarius, sweet Wiiiiam,
Iyalerians phlox, evening primroses.
Platycodon, an aristocratic relative OF
i the Canterbury bells, is very fine, but

A Dog Story for Dog Daya

A two part story, The Day of the
Dog" by the versatile George Barr
McCutcheon, begins in the August
number of Nc Clure's and leaves the
hero in a situation at the end that is
almost stroke of genius. It is a de-
licious combination of farce and
romance, based on the every day busi-
ness of matter of fact Chicago law

reading for the dreariest dog-day of

one could expect and in the very
spirit of the story.
