worn the season through. The stylish
example illustrated combines the two
features with front drapery that is
most becoming to slender figures, and
is suited to all soft and pliable mate
rials but, as shown, is of white crepe
de chine with appliques of heavy cream
lace.
The foundation lining fits snugly and
smoothly and closes at the centre front,
the back of the waist is laid in deep
tucks that give the becoming outline,
while a series of small pleats under
the front box pleats widen toward the
waist and are draped with fan effect.
The wide collar, shaped in points,
droops artistically over the shoulders
and at the neck is one of the new
pointed stocks that, with the trimming
gives the fashionable stole effect. The

woman's Blouse or Shirt Waist.

Shirt waists made with Duchess or
Princess closings and with pleats at
the shoulders are at once essentially
smart and very generally becoming.
The absence of the regulation box
pleat renders them somewhat less Sc
we're than the palmer model, while the
finish allows trimming of handsome
buttons and the pleats at the shoulders
provide becoming folds over the bust
The smart May Manton model shown
is admirable in every way and is suited
both to waist and gown materials of
almost all sorts, but in the case of the
original is of white peau de cygne,
stitched with black corticelli silk, and
is finished at the front with fancy
stitching and rhine stone buttons.

For the sofa handsome pillows are
made whose covering is of velvet or
suede, with designs in leather applique
of contrasting tones. A moss-green
velvet is appliuued with the rich hued
disks of the sunfower marked by the
pyrograph with brown shadings. Fol-
iage and stems are also burned. A
poppy design in red and suede has a
background of tan-colored suede. Pic
tureSque heads cut from leather and
brought into relief by the pyrograph's
etchings are also appliqued on suede.
Both sides of the pillows are Of the
leather laced closely with thongs at
the sides and decorated at the corners
with leather tasseis.
Colored suede skins tanned whole
are as popular as ever for table cover
ings and sofa pillows, but are less fre-
quently than formerly decorated with
the pyrograph and brush. Two of the
skins are used for 4 pillow. which is
laced between them with leather
thongs, and the extra length and
breadth of the leather is left hanging
loose. Often these irregular sides are
slashed into fringe.

woman's Homo Gown.

Tasteful home gowns are essential
to comfort and true economy as well
as to the beauty OF the wardrobe. The
stylish model shown in the large draw
ing fulfills all the requirements and is
absolutely simple at the same time that
it is attractive and becoming. AS
shown, it is of royal blue Henrietta
cloth, with trimming of lace in the
tawny Arab shade, but the design suits
numberless fabrics and combinations.
Brocaded and flowered silk on any ma
terial of plain fat color is handsome,
and any of the effective Oriental en-
broideries can be used with satisfac-
tory results or again, the trimming can
be OF plain silk and the gown of
figured cashmere or challie. The orig
inal is made with bell shaped sleeves;
but the snugger bishop sort can be SUBJ
stituted whenever preferred.
The gown consists of a fitted body
lining for the front, tucked fronts,
backs and underarm cores. The loose
fitted fronts are tucked as illustrated,
and are arranged over the lining, the
yoke and stole fronts being applied
over them. The neck can be finished
with the stock collar or with the yoke
only, as shown in the small sketch.
The sleeves can be left free at the
wrist or gathered into the cuffs, as de-
sired.

To Make Good Pics.

The best cooks use n glaze to pre-
vent the juice from spelling the under
crust of a pie. This glaze is simply
the beaten white of an egg, brushed
lightly over the crust before the filling
is put in, and if 1t is also brushed over
the top crust it will give an especially
nice yellow-brown bake.
TOO much handling OF the ingrc-
dents will make the crust tough Use
thing chilled. If possible, use n glass
rolling pin filed with Clipped ice. and
avoid, as far as possible, putting the
hands to the dough. Lard and butter
in equal parts make the best crust, and
the best results must not be expected
il ordinary bread flour is used. Use
pastry flour and sift it twice; also use
rs little water as possible, pouring it
in by drops, and be sparing of salt
Put plenty of flour on the board to pre-
vent sticking, and roll the crust only
one way-away from you.
Never put hot filing into crust.
If the filling is to be cooked one, pre-
pare it in advance and give it time to
get thoroughly cold before combining
it with the dough. Cut three or four
slits in the top crust to let the steam
escape and prevent undue putting.
Finally see that the oven is hot, so
that the pastry will not be scorched
or set before it has had time to rise

Tho Woman who Walks We'll.


There is nothing much rarer than a
woman who really walks well, and
the accomplishment Is one which is
always sure to be noticed and ad-
mired. 1t is not very difficult to be
acquired, but It demands memory and
the exercise of will. for it is not easy
to remember to hold oneself correctly
and not to slouch. A simple rule
about standing is to lift the chest and
carry it in line above the toes
Then, with head erect, take care in
walking to strike the ball of the foot
first, and not the heel, and a dignified
carriage will at once be secured.
Steps that are quick are indicative
of energy and agitation.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
pre-occupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk Is representa- as
STOPPING and noiseless, with short,
nervous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured: the toes are conspicuously turned
out; the legs Strengthened.
Where a revengeful purpose is hid
den under false smile, the step will
be Sinking and noiseless.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
Of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tai1ty, hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people. who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power, rest the feet fatty
and firmly on the ground, walk heav-
lily and slowly. and stand with legs
firmly planted and far apart.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

To Adorn Her Ladyship.

Much ingenuity is brought to bear
on the jewelry that is now worn.
Some of the gold is Of coppery tint,
such as was the mode seventy or
eighty years ago, and this looks very
well with pearls and amethysts. AS
q rule, feminine fashions prevail, but
in ornaments women are showing n
masculine tendency, and many of
their rings are after the order of those
worn by men.
Diamonds are often set in silver and
put on between two gold rings with
other stones in them. Cairngorms are
returning to fashion. especially when
surmounted by enamel heart or crown.
The golden-tinted ones look beautiful
with brown dresses.
Cymric designs in gold and silver,
with touch Of color in them, are be-
ing applied in England and abroad as
pendants for the neck, as brooches,
bracelets, even buttons, and their
beauty is often enhanced by the in
PRODUCTION of opals, pearls and tur-
1auoises.
Cobwebs are the new form of
brooch, made in fine gold wire or
Berlin iron, with a jeweled butterfly
IN the centre. The designers are bor
rowing some of their ideas from Flan-
ders. Flies, bees, wasps and lady
birds form pins attached to an enam-
elled twig or small flower; indeed,
turtles, lizards and fish even figure in
all of them.
Very fine chain bracelets are being
worn, and scrolls of honeysuckle in
the noveau art style add to their
beauty.-New York American.
