OId-FashIoned Silk Patterns.

Old-fashioned patterns are going to
reign supreme in silks as in all other
fabrics. Tiny checks dots, sometimes only
barely visible, and blurred chine effects in
general are among the most stylish.
In the taffetas and louisines, brown and
white, blue and white, black and white,
and tone bordering on steel seem to pre-
dominate. Here we find polka dot and pin
dots, cross bar designs of long ago, and a
number Of other old-time favortes.
In addition to the dark blues, green's
and cigar browns. which we recognize as
distinctively foulard colors, there are any
number of pastel tints with just a sug-
gestion of pattern beneath the tint There
is, for example, a pale blue bordering on
the gray, which is lovely in the abstract,
however trying to the only moderately
good complexion. A pastel pink, also with
a gray tint in it, is novel and full of al
lure, altho like the blue a trifie exacting
as to the face above it.

Wells Must Match Costume.

Among Fashions latest vagaries comes
the law that for each gown and hat there
must be a veil to match, no longer an
ordinary black, plain or dotted one.
This rule certainly holds good for the
suits of darker shade, as brown, blue or
purple, but whether it will apply with
the hat Of red or green remains to be
seen. Altho at first many did not care
for this new fad, the colored veil is be-
coming more and more popular, and
there is every reason why it should last
for some time to come. Undoubtedly
now colored ones are better on hats of
the same shade than those of all black
that is, of course, provided the hat be of
not too bright a shade.
Lace wells will be much worn this sum-
mer, and, in fact many hats are sold
with the veil draped on. If becoming,
the veil is placed on the hat so as to
hang we'll down over the brim at the
back or again it is merely allowed to fall
over the hat for about two inches all
around. This fashion Of the soft lace
ruffle is an exceedingly becoming one.
Lace wells to be worn separately are seen
in both black and white. It may be left
to hang quite loose from the brim or
again it may be caught up at the back
as the plain net veil is worn.

keepers Of progress and those few words
interested me in everything of the kind"
explained Miss Teepell THE idea Of q
'timekeeper of progress fixed itself In my
mind as soon as I heard of the st. Louis
exposition and I determined to apply for
the concession to publish the official
guide. In order that I might present some
definite idea, I had plates made and my
design printed before I made any re-
quest. When I had the plates
went to the late Senator Han
ma and he gave me most
satisfactory Endorsement When arrived
at st. Louis it was a great disappoint-
ment to find that the officials had made
arrangements in regard to the guide, but
did not give up. 1 went to Chicago and
procured the Endorsement OF Carter Har-
rison and then went to Senator Hanna
again and thru his efforts secured in
terviews with the government officials at
the fair and a committee Of three was ap-
pointed to act on my proposal The re-
port was favorable and when it was pre-
sented to the government board 1t was
adopted and I secured the concession for

MRS. v0NNOH WINS A COVETED PRIZE

as she was educated and lived in Chicago
until her marriage, she is generally con-
sidered the property of the windy city.
Her studio was the meeting place Of The
Little Room club, to which all of the best
known writers and artists Of Chicago be-
longed and which took it's name from her
tiny studio.
Eight pieces Of her work have been
bought by the Art institute Of Chicago
and placed in its permanent collection.
Her first exhibition in the Society Of
American Artists was in 1896 and it was
quickly whispered about that new note
had been struck in plastic art. Her farno
soon spread and connoisseurs were eager
to secure her dainty groups for their col.
lections
Mr. Vonnoh is also an artist, and the
best portrait Mrs. Vonnoh has ever had
painted is the work of her husband Her
resemblance to Nine. LeBrun, the famous
Frenchwoman, is striking, and the artist
has caught the spirited likeness. Mr. and
Mrs. Vonnoh both have studios in New
York, where they are busy with their por-
trait work in color and clay.

Lovelv Pompadour wreaths,

+. The pompadour rose wreath, now to be
bad already prepared, is a boon to the
woman casting about for a dainty finish
for a summer party gown. -
The bewitching pink buds woven into
flexible garlands are Topped up over the
top of the founce, = trailed delicately
down the front of blouse Continuing
into the skirt), applied as an emphasis
to the line of a shoulder yoke and en-
ployed in half dozen ways all equally

i Converting your passe ball gown into
summer dancing frock, as stylish as 1t
Is sweet, means this season simply the
addition Of lace ruffes and pompadour
roses.
These two new touches are all that is
required to bring a really shabby-look-
ing frock entirely up to date.
While 1.-The roses are perhaps first fav-
: orites: for this purpose, they are not the
only choice, by any means.
There are, in addition, delightful little
punches of cherries with their brilliant
foliage, some very realistic country
daisies, as we'll as other less popular
sprays.
Besides being SO easily handled and SO
attractive for summer evening frocks,
the wee roses are: being trailed over our
more elaborate parasols and around the
brirns of some entirely lovely hats.

Chippendale chair, Sheraton bureau or

to some bride. One girl, whose delight in
old mahogany is well known, will receive
enough chairs and tables to furnish her

tax the resources of both fiat and store

of the men went to call on them the other

Antique Lovers Are Hunting Old Fur |
niture, China and Prints for Their
Wedding Gifts-In Paris 1t Is Fad
to Send Lap Dogs and Cats to the
Bride

The string Of weddings that reaches
from now until July makes the question Of
bridal gifts an important one to many.
There is a fashion in wedding presents
just as there is in spring hats altho it is
doubtful if we accept the Partisan fad in
the former as promptly as we do in the
matter of millinery. In Paris 1t is the
thing to send the bride toy dog or cat
and some young women have received as
many as twenty dogs of different breeds,
all so small that they can be carried in a
basket, or an equal number Of cats. Many
of them were individual gifts and others
represented the cooperation Of a group Of
friends, but even two dozen jelly spoons
would be preferable to two dozen dogs in
the opinion of a practical Minneapolis
girl.

She will bring fresh air into everything

pect her children to come to her, in the

won for her. Instead Of this. she must go
to them and bring them up. If possible,
to where she stands. She may make them
more mature by this. " is very positive
that she will make herself younger More
than this she will get a better aquaint-
ance with her children than she has ever
had before. If she has been saving time
by staying at home and working for them
she will find something pathetic in the
joy with which they will greet her arrival
among them, the share she takes in their
occupations
Children are loyal little creatures. To
their mind there Is no one like the mother
as a companion, and it Is eminently worth
while for her to economic on her own
employments and pleasures for the sake
of sharing in theirs. Let her follow Froe-
bells advice and live with her children. Let
her try to forget for little that she is
grown up. If it is summer, let her go
fishing with them or boating with them
or wheeling with them. If it is winter,
let her, join in their house games and If
possible in their outdoor sports. I know

pawned it for about $4,000, and it was
found in a pawnbroker's office in Paris.
It's real value is said to be $4,000.

Sensible Heels.

Fortunately Dame Fashion Is COMPARE
lively sensible just at present as regards
heels. The correct form of heels for walk
ing shoes for the spring is the medium
height military This, while not as low
as the common sense" heel, is without
the curve of French heels, which is said
to be so Injurious for walking.
For morning and afternoon slippers
white stockings must be worn with every
costume, unless, as mentioned above,
stockings the color Of the gown are pre-
ferred, the slipper usually remaining white,
however. On the other hand, the evening
slippers should be of the color Of the frocis,
satin or kid both being worn, the latter
being perhaps cooler.

Whenever panic occurs in place
where the audience is largely composed of
women the loss Of life she says, is bound

dresses at once render escape hopeless.

Novel Hints for the ToiIet.-Is there any
thing new in toilet sachets and Is there
any perfume that Is especially popular
just now7-Vera.
The bright girl in search Of something
quite new in the way of dainty toilet ac-
cessories may almost rival the garden in
sweetness by adopting this plan. Have
the ribbons in the lingerie and colored pet
ticoat match, or, at least harmonic per-
fectly, with the gown. If, for example,
the ribbons are of violet make huge vio-
let sachet of two-inch wide satin ribbon
and attach to the front of the corsets. The
petals are easily made by loops tied
closely at the base and conceal bit of
cotton which keeps them in shape and
which also holds the violet sachet powder.
The perfume may be suggested by the
color Of the gown for when wearing the
delicate green sprigged muslins the faint
odor Of apple blossoms or clover are sug-
gested. This may seem bit elaborate or
even sentimental, but in this practical
world we need both and it is quite as easy
and no more expensive to be artistic in
the matter Of the toilet as to have every
thing on one tone and be wearied by it's
monotony. To preserve the doors Of the
different sachets, when not in use keep
each in a separate box closely covered.
