young at the time, and it was at a sum-
ner resort where for a long period ten
women had languished without even
the satisfaction of backbiting each 9TH
er-for there was nothing to backbite
about. Suddenly one evening the stage
set down a male passenger. More than
that, he was young and good looking.
Che news Travelled like wildhre.
1t was a quiet little mountain resort,
one of those places where they have
supper at night and very often the
company sits down in shirt waist suits.
But not so this evening. Ten beauti-
fully muslined maidens glided grace
fully and demurely into the dining
room. The smell of singed hair could
be detected for a mile. But ten beauti-
fully waved and pompadoured heads
were bent over the supper plates, while
ten skillfully powdered cheeks were
turned inquiringly toward the stran-
ger.

style for you. And that's all there is
about it.
Have you seen those cute little stoles
of shirred chiffon made with pointed
ends? They are good limitations of the
short necktie stoles of the winter, and
nothing can be smarter to wear with a
plain foulard or tailor made gown. First
cut your foundation stiffening, then on
this shirr your black or white chiffon in
lines carefully measured. Line the
whole with some pretty Powered silk.
Dainty little stole collars are also made
of gathered lace.
White linen gowns, not the dead
white, but the grayish white of the i'm
ported linen, look very smart inset with
deep buff lace medallions. This min
Cling of two or three shades of white
and ecru is one of the chic features of
the season.
For SIS, or even less, you can buy a
pretty linen robe which you can make
up yourself without much trouble. If
it is only lightly embroidered you can
add a great deal to the rich effect by
ornamenting the design here and there
with French knots made of very heavy
linen cord.
Currants mingled with white roses
are among the new millinery features.
Even the smartest people are now
wearing French heels for the street, so
if your pedal eXtremities measure more
in length than they should do not hes
itate to adopt this style of shoe. 1t
certainly does make the foot look short
er, and if the heel is not of the ultra
variety it is not accounted bad taste.

The Powder of Peace.

There is a right way and a wrong
way to apply powder, if you will excuse
me for mentioning it, but since the hot
weather is here I think it a timely
suggestion. Most women dab at the
face with a thistledown of a powder
puff, and the result is that some parts
of the face look like snowdrifts, while
others are absolutely like the bare
places swept dry by the wind.
You'll never find a Frenchwoman do
ing her face that way. In the first
place, she either uses chamois skin
