soap and plenty of friction. After ali

For silk garments or draperies dry
cleaning" is the only satisfactory meth
cd of renewing. The best method
known for renewing delicate furniture
is to thoroughly brush the fabric and
then rub it with the crumb of bread
(made without shortening). Sometimes
this bread cleaning will take off every
thing, particularly smoke CRIME, but 1t
is a work of patience. When bread
fails, chloroform will often be found
effective. but it must positively be used
in the open air and away from fire or
lights. being both d strong anRsthetic
and very explosive. Gasoline. naphtha
and benZine, the dry cleaning sub
stances, are not strong enough to re-
move soft coal smoke CRIME, but are
fairly effective in removing ordinary

entire surface of the article TO be
cleaned, as otherwise the cleaning will
be outlined as spot
For oriental rugs, made Of woods
dyed with vegetable dyes, the process
is a simple one. Beat, brush and beat

next, stretch on~a clean floor and scrub
with strong soapsuds (not using
harsh BRUSH until clean, rinsing out
all the soap; rub with dry cloths, and
complete the drying as rapidly as pos

used, in quantity SO liberal that the

Goats and Dressing Gowns.
Especial Correspondence.
New York, May ia MANUFACTURED
Of tailor made gowns once told me
that paper was patient and long suf-
fering and that it allowed artists to de-
sign fashions that would never do in the
world for real dress. Looking at the
remarkable pictures in some Of the pro-
fessed fashion magazines, it is easy to
believe him. Who ever saw in real life
a woman with such a fly away skirt
as the one represented in this illustra-
ton, with all the folds under the feet
and the back spread out like a pea.
cocks tail? Yet that is really what.
when properly made, is one of the best
of the styles for handsome street cos
tunes. But the artist considers it his
duty to make it look like picture and
not like a pattern. We will now pro-
coed to dissect it as a dress and leave
the artists fancies aside.
This is one of the accepted shapes
for cloth and all other of the heavy
spring tailor goods, and the new skirt
yoke is in evidence. These yokes serve
no really good purpose that l can see,
but for the moment they are stylish"
Stylish is a word to conjure with in
all things that appertain to feminine
affairs. So these yokes are cut to fit
around the hips closely and to fasten
invisibly in the back, while one part
extends down the front to the bottom
of the skirt forming the front breadth.
Where the material is cloth or some
thing equally heavy there is a piping
of featherbone cord to hold the edges
firm and define the outline. Some of
these have lace or some one of the
handsome braid trimmings down the
front and even sometimes around the
yoke. The skirt is laid in wide side
plaits almost to the center of the back.
but the back breadth is cut to fare
widely at the bottom and may train
somewhat if the lady is strong enough
to hold it up and likes to practice ath-
letics in the street. This shaped yoke
to the skirt is thought to be universal
ly becoming, as it dissimulates too
high hips on the one hand and can be
made to simulate them when the fig
ure is too slender.
The jaunty little Monte Carlo coats,
called in England sacks" are to be
very generally worn this season, long
or short, as one prefers. The main
idea is always that the coat shall set
out In front and be short in the back.
They are particularly we'll adapted for
wear, as they can be-and in
deed most often are-made of thin taf-
feta and are unlined, SO that they give
a dressy appearance without being
warm. No matter how pretty a dress
waist is, nothing can make it look Just
right TO wear in the street without
some kind of wrap. The boas of last
year, which are still with us, and the
stole capes and the handsome lace
pelerine capes are all designed to be
worn as dressy addition to the waist.
But there are times when the prettiest
IF the last mentioned things are not so
suitable as the short coat.
