For example, for rough weather
driving there are loose rubber coats

French market. which sit a horse S

Shirt Waist Sets TO
Please All Tastes

AS varied as her moods are the
shirt-wast sets and assortment of
natty little pins with which the sum-
mer girl fastens the front of. her
blouse or pins down the edges of her
unruly turnover. They are seen in all
sizes and designs, and are fashioned
of various materials. from gold to
burnt wood, so that even the girl with
a rather fiat purse may have several
sets.
Buckle sets are enjoying a popular
season and are, perhaps, the neatest
of the pin sets for the semi-tailored
waist The set usually consists Of
three small buckle pins and a larger
buckle in the same design for the belt.
They come in gold, silver and gun
metal, and in oblong, square, long and
oval buckle form. Often the ingenious
girl secures two sets of these
buckles, and designs a stock to
wear with them, using two or three
of the pins in it.
Burnt wood shirt waist sets are
novelty of the summer. While they
are a trifle heavy looking, they are
pretty and effective on certain heavy
outing blouses. They consist of
round button of wood burnt in vari-
GUS designs, preferably the head of
girl after one of the well-known ar
lists. The button is mounted on
pin or cut in stud form to wear in
buttonholes, although the latter style
is not so smart at present. Many Of
these sets are painted as well as
burned.
Another novelty is the peacock-eye
set which resembles nothing so much
as the previous CLASSY" marbles the
small boy cherishes above all other
varieties. 1t shades from emerald
green to royal blue. The setting is
invisibly mounted and, because the
pins are not so large as the ordinary
blouse pins, the sets consist of four
pieces. These sets look their best
on the Persian bands worn so
much on the front of shirtwaists.
Hand-polished mother-of- pearl sets
are being extensively worn, especial

How to Care for
the Picture Hat
Room for Her Array of Filmy Sum-
mer Millinery One of Miss
1904's Troubles.

The fad this summer for having hats
and gowns to match has taxed not on
ly the ingenuity and the purse of the
girl who desired a fetching array of
light and fluffy headgear, but it has
driven her to extremes to secure a
place for keeping them. The shep-
herdess hat. the broad-brimmed sailor
and the bebe, or lingerie hat, each
makes extensive demands for room
space.
Every tidy girl knows that hats may
not be hung in closets, much less in a
row on the wall, even though covered
with cloth. Ribbon, flowers and lace
all drop one way, and that is down. so
that the hat quickly loses it's shape.
Further, the hat hung on the wall or
in the closet is apt to have other ar
ticles hung under or over it.
Hat boxes are, of course, the correct
and thoroughly reliable receptacle for
hats, but many of the boxes in which
this years hats are sent home are too
wide to fit on an ordinary closet shelf.
The mother of three daughters had no
end Of complaints from the servants
about the hat boxes pushed under the
various beds. They interfered with the
cleaning, the lids were knocked off by
impatient maids and dust sifted in
over the f1nery. She finally cleared off
three shelves in her linen closet and
the hats were laid in a row on the
shelves and covered with tissue paper.
A girl whose bedroom was small and

by the family carpenter. This was
made from planed boards about five
feet long by three feet wide and one
foot high, with lid on hinges. Cas-
tiers were fitted into each corner The
box was painted white without and
within, and a strap of leather was

For elegant hotel service white cloth
