swishes and swirls around one will
catch glimpses of a much befrilled blue
taffeta petticoat. The bodice, which
fastens at the back, has deep yoke

beautifully adorned with scroll pat

bebe ribbon. The elbow sleeves termi-

hat of leghorn trimmed with black vel

and its foliage are to be the accom-
panying headgear. With the costume
is carried a gathered black chiffon par

Among half dozen patchwork
gowns, smart in their way, but very
elaborate, this dainty pure white lawn
its simplicity. The flowing skirt, fin
ished with three deep tucks, is shirred
at the waist and falls evenly to the
ground over an underskirt of ruff1ed
muslin. The high WASTED bodice is
girdled by pointed band of rose chif-
fon velours, and the st. Cecilia neck is
outlined by piece of pink chiffon en-
broidery.
An important point to consider is the
girdle worn with the airy, fairy frock.
If the material is plain, one of the
line centuries enhances the artistic val
ue of dress scheme. but when the
fabric is Powered a solid color in sash
or corselet should be worn. With a
creamy muslin, for instance, a belt of
an opalescent tone, produced by green
and pink, is a charming effect. The
skirts of these dainty dresses cause a
great deal of anxiety in their construc-
ton and adornment- There are tucks,
deep and narrow, and insertions of lace
used in conjunction and as separate
motifs The gathered skirt and the
three decker are very acceptable for
women who object to fullness about the
waist. This triple jupe does not fall
from a common foundation. but is join
ed to fall one part from the other.
When one thinks of all these allur-
ing summer gowns it becomes doubly
difficult to make ones allowance do"
Our dressmakers tell us, and truth
fully, that the dresses we order take
three times as long to make have three
times the amount of material in them
and three times the number of hands
are employed to work upon them. So
how can they be even comparatively
cheap? The women who must have the
--latest" run up long bills (Which in
many cases are never PAID, and those
who have a little conscience conc ern-
ing a milliner's bill are overcharged in
order to cover the bad debts. But it
won't do to take these matters too Sc
riously, for some of us might be tempt
ed to have gowns run up at home by
little woman with a sewing machine"

want to sit in comfortable chair all
the time they are fitting shoes, and it
is with difficulty that one can get them
to stand a few minutes even after the
shoe is fitted. Then when they begin
to walk about little they wonder why
the shoe is less easy than when it was
first tried on. The fact is that the foot
is smaller when one is sitting than
when one is walking about. Exercise
brings a larger quantity of blood to the
feet, and they swell. The muscles, too.
require a certain amount of room. In
buying shoes this must be borne in
mind, or one cannot hope to be shod

passing the completed work quickly
over a flame or, when the cane piece
is too cumbersome, by holding in posi-
ton a lighted fuse, which is run rapidly
over it. The coat of varnish, which is
next applied, gives a beautiful gloss.
Enamel of any preferred color produces
an excellent effect.
This cane work is a fine amusement
for the leisure hour in the garden, and
at the end of a remarkably short time
the worker will have the pleasure of
adding to the beauty of nature some
of her own handiwork.
There are many homes in and around
attractive towns whose lawns are with
out trees, and in summer time the sun
blazes down from sunrise to sunset.
To sit out there is to court slow COM
bustion. Under such circumstances a
tent is a delightful resting place for the
grownups of the family and fine play
house for the children. 1t is a simple
matter to make one of these tents at
home.
The amateur affair is made on the
principle of a screen or, rather, a
clotheshorse. It is threefold, and as
the hinges are made of webbing it may
be closed up fiat when not in use.
Four sockets made of wood are planted
in the ground. Into these the four
legs at the bottom of the screen are
exactly fitted. When the tent is not
erected the sockets can be plugged
with small blocks of wood to prevent
them from getting clogged up. The
covering of the tent is of unbleached
muslin stretched carefully over the di
visions of the framework in such a
fashion as not to obstruct the working
of the hinges. The roof is of canvas
nailed along the front to a separate bar

front. At the back the canvas is nailed
to the top of the tent frame. The flaps
are secured with hooks sewed inside
each flap and eyes to match attached
to the cover. Inside, the tent may be
draped with striped curtains and fitted
up in a pretty fashion. In this tent no
pegs and ropes are necessary, and
when the weather is doubtful it is an
easy matter to fold the tent and, like
the Arab, silently steal away"

take the summer girl more than two
weeks to design.
There has been so little distinction
lately between summer and winter ma
terials that muslin, both plain and en-
broidered, has become the only fabric
that does not flourish at all seasons.
Spotted muslins are especially attrac
tive, and at the Ritz at O'Clock tea the
other afternoon were two stunningly
gowned girls slipping their oolong, one
wearing a simple but chic frock of
grass muslin ring spotted with black.
The trimming consisted of crossed puff
hngs of the muslin ending in choux of
black velvet ribbon, the quaint pelerine
being finished in the same manner.
The success of the ensemble was fur

bouillonnees of the silk. The bolero
was worn over a lawn and lace shirt.

Sarah Bernhard, who is well known
for her perennial youthfulness, attrib-
utes the seeming miracle entirely to q
special skin tonic which she favors.
This eau sedative is said to have the
effect of making the flesh firm and
elastic, while strengthening and whit
ening the skin and soothing the terri
BILE nerves to which our twentieth
century womanhood seems a ready
prey. The recipe for the lotion is as
follows: Half pint of alcohol. two
ounces of spirits of camphor, two
ounces of spirits of ammonia and five
ounces of sea salt, to be added to SUM-
cient boiling water to make quart in
all, when the mixture should be placed
in a bottle and thoroughly shaken be-
fore use. This lotion, which should be
we'll rubbed into the skin daily, is said
to be especially efficacious in taking the
fatigue out of tired muscles.

Sd re.tion the purchase of a real pierre

recommended, as it will accomplish its
- st in a more professional manner
than the homely skewer. Besides the
appliances mentioned, the cane worker
should be provided with a wooden
frame, which is nothing more than a
round piece of wood perforated at reg
ular intervals with three or four sets
of holes. This answers the purpose of
a frame on which to begin weaving the
foundations for the cane articles.
When the plating or weaving, except
the base, is completed the wooden
frame is taken out, and the ends of the
cane are plated together to form the
base. These bases are cut away to suit
the article of furniture being con-
structed. and the cane ends are passed
through the perforated edges and fixed
in place. The cane comes in different
sizes and is very pretty used in connec-
ton with bamboo for the legs of tea
tables and supports for flower stands.
Round cane can be bought for about 80
cents a roll. but when a large quantity
