TIMELY TIPS.

Black satin Wristbands and stocks
are quite the rage, and a low wreath
like hat Of black silk peoples seems to
be an investment which every smart
woman has made.
While the grape design appears fire.
quently, the acorns are much newer,
and often more effective.
1t seems strange to talk of passe-
menterie trimming as a common orna-
mentatiOn to muslins, linen, and
piQue gowns, but such is the fact.
Cotton and linen passementeries in the
shape of cordeliers. fringes, and other
trimmings are most conspicuous on the
summer models. There is no newer
idea for the summer.
The use of the colored silk slip is
growing. 1t is a fashion that has been
out of favor for many years. but the
foundations differing in color from the
gown are the ones preferred now. Many
of the fashionable changeable effects
are gained in this way, putting a thin
voile Of one color over a silk founda-
ton Of another
A novelty in the way of trimming is
fringes and ruchings of raveled stuffs,
the tussOre silks and linen being first
choice as materials to be used in this
way
The filet fringes have, of course,
been used for some time, and newer
are fringes of loops, tassels, tiny balls
and acorns

NEW IDEA IN WALL PAPER.

Quite new in wall paper is an effect
technically known to the trade as
crown hangings. In language that
isn't scientific, however, it means that
the border is so designed that the pat
tern of the side wall is appropriately
finished, apparently without a break at
the top.
If the side wall shows pattern of
roses climbing up a trellis, when they
reach the top they just burst out into
a perfect riot of blossom, as they
would actually do at the top of an
arbor. 1t is accomplished, of course.
by the border. But the border as a
border is not visible
The effect is ever so much more
artistic than the old-time border,
which defined clearly the line where
the paper stopped and the border was
applied. This is much like hand fres-
Going or mural painting. The side wall
from top to bottom is apparently all
one piece, one design. By it one can
give the home those refined, artistic
effects only possible before where
one could employ mural painters.
One design uses the rhododendron
for its motive. The paper is in stripe
effect, the leaves only being used in
an artistic way in the stripes. But at
the top each clambering vine of the
green bursts forth into a glorious
crown Of the pink blossoms. It is one
of the loveliest effects imaginable. 1t
gives rccm the cool effect of a green
paper, yet the pink at the top prevents
it from being too dull and lifeless.
But the crown effects are not con-
fined to floral patterns. They come in
the Empire designs, in conventional
patterns suitable for dining-rooms. and
in the rich Oriental effects for dens.
But always they give that artistic I'm.
broken effect at the top which lends
such refined, finished air to an apart
ment

WHITE HOUSE NOTES.
OF a simiitude, If Not Strictly Accur-
ate Reports of Facts.

New York Evening Post:-A most
charming incident took place at the
white house today. 1t was raining,
and little Quentin, the presidents
youngest son, was kept in with cold.
He was badly in need of amusement,
and suddenly he remembered his re-
cent visit to the Smithsonian, and the
skeleton of the Dinosaur he had seen
there. Of course, it was impossible
for him to go out in the rain, but he
insisted that it would not hurt the
Dinosaur to be brought to him. At
first there was a disposition to refuse
MIN, and an attempt was made to di-
vert his attention with steam roller
in the east room; but some Of the ma
sons employed about the place saw the
wistful look in the boys eyes and Of
fered to take down the side of the
building so as to let the Dinosaur in.
It was almost pathetic to see how
grateful Quentin was. When the
skeleton arrived, he climbed UP and
sat astride on a rib.
Its good for the blues to look at
him." said one of the masons, as he
wiped the mortar from his trowel.
The British ambassador called at
the white house recently, it having
been enormously reported that the
president had returned. Kermit spied
him as he was going away.
Hi, said the boy, you want to see
my father?''
The ambassador said that such was
the intent Of his call
well, you can't" said Kermit, pleas
antly. He's out in Yellowstone park,
riding. Do you want to see how he
rides?" and the spirited boy came with :
a running leap, landing on the ambas-
sador's back.
Get up, there" he shouted, and it
was really a. beautiful sight, the am
bassador Of an empire trotting away
toward the gate, with the boy on his
back pulling his ears to make him go
faster.
