Why Is it that women have not distins

Mrs. Chesson can mention only two great"
women poets Sappho and Christina Rossetti,
Though all women learn how to paint In
water colors at school. are there are
great" women painters? Has there ever
been any? Rosa Bonheur can hardly be
called great. There are no women painters
of the class of Raphael or Duerer.
In music, also. so far as creative work
goes, women are. to use a vulgar phrase,
mot in it." No woman ever wrote a great
oratorio or a first-class opera. In the art
of fiction, perhaps. they stand highest.
though even there the characteristic faults
of women artists keep them from the first
rank
The reason for this seems to be that
women lack the essential quality for all
great art: they lack restraint. They are
afraid to curb their muses they have not
the courage, II they ever have the desire. to
go through their work with pruning knife
and remove every superfluity. Christina
Rossetti Is great because she possesses this
power to take pains. Poetesses In general

ton OF this-fail to reach the supreme PIN

sible, but If economy has to be consulted.
be 1t remembered that pongee is only for
summer wear. whereas taffeta can do duty
for summer and winter alike.
In the same category with pongee and
linen are the mohair gowns, that are most
practicable for warm weather. Mohair.
however. can never be made up in such
elaborate fashion as would make 1t pos
sble for garden parties or such style of
out-of-door entertainment. and in its most
elaborate stage of development can be only
the smartest of tailor gowns. Sometimes
1t is made up in waist and skirt to match,
and this year more than ever before, but
as a rule the skirt and coat style is the
one chosen. A white mohair costume is de-
lightfully smart for yachting. tennis or any
other out-of-door sport; a black or dark
color costume for travelling or general wear
in cool summer days is delightfully."- useful.
There are any number of new weaves and
designs In stripes and checks of lightweight
and almost silky texture that are most
charming in effect. Bands of taffeta, or
narrow, fine plating of taffeta in solid col
ors are the most fashionable trimmings
for the fancy designs. while for the plain
either folds of the same or bands of Per-
sian embroidery on waists or jackets are
used.

the linen travelling dress did not enjoy the
sanction of popular opinion for any length

because nothing better WAS offered

all of which afford any amount of oppor-
tunity for the use of much lace and en-

On both heavy and lightweight linen
there is an immense quantity of fine hand

Bargains in Embroidered Gowns.
Most remarkable bargains in the en-
broidered linen gowns-or robes. as they are
calIed-are now to be found in all the lead

of hand work and marvellous samples OF
the fine work done by machine. There are

therefore, to have in these, as Ia the white
silk, thin silk lining. which may be white
or any shade preferred. Some Innings, by
the way. are almost as much pulled. tucked
and ruffled as the outer covering.
The pre-eminence of embroidery has
somewhat crowded out that one time pop
ular form OF decoration, hand painting. On
some of the fine parasols, however this Is
still seen. Unless it is well done 1t is so
much of an offense that only an artists
work should be tolerated and that is. OF
course, exceedingly costly.
AS to sticks and handles. the variety Is
equal to that OF the coverings of parasols.
With the lingerie parasol some form Of
wood Is correct for the handle. For the
silk and chiffon sunshades ones fancy may
have as free range as the pocket will per-
NIT. Jade handles are very beautiful and
are in keeping with the rage for that kind
Of decoration. In some of the more costly
parasols the handles are freely ornamented
with various kinds of semi-precious stones.

~ UGH a craze as now exists for linen
gowns surely never before
known. and the great wonder is how
~ so many entirely different sorts and
kinds have been created until the
word linen is applied to hundreds of differ
ent weaves of the fax.
The fashion started some two or three
seasons ago. In fact, linen gowns have
never been quite out of date. and tailor
gowns of linen have always been consid-
cred smart, but the very expensive and
elaborate gowns introduced two summers
ago, and which now are in such demand,
are not to be confused Herewith.
When the practice of using lace and en-
broidery on linen began It was a fad,
nothing more. put forward. as it were, ten
tatively in order to test popular opinion.
The gowns were a rule unlined. and as
linen is conceded to be the coolest of fab
RIGS when an exceptionally cool summer
was forthcoming the fashion hung fire.
Then came the craze for wearing the thin
nest OF lingerie waists in winter, and.
presto! no further thought was given as to
whether it was to be cool or a hot sum-
mer-thn, cool gowns must be worn. The
only possible yielding to comfort is to be
seen in the coat. short or long, that is
now a part of the costume. whether the
waist be of linen to match the skirt or on
the lingerie order.
Many In fact most, of the elaborate
styles of linen costumes are extremely ex-
pensiye. The work on them is of the mos.
expensive order: often real lace is used
and. II not the real. then some high-priced
imitation. There can be no stinting of ma
terial Yards and yards of lace, If hand
embroidery be used then just much of
1t as possible. so that in fact there is little
plain material to be seen. Even the un-
initiated individual can discern at glance
that the gown is necessarily costly one

considerable white or the cream tint in

Another form OF embroidery which has
not recently been seen but which Is made
use of to a considerable extent this year
Is chenille work. This is used on silk and
on thinner fabrics. Somewhat similar to 1t
in effect are the chiffon flowers which find
a place on some of the most elaborate of
summer sunshades. Chiffon roses on lace
foundation inserted above the border make
a striking decoration Floral designs are
the favorites for these various kinds OF
embroidery as well as for the more con-
ventional and ordinary embroidery. Wis
taria and orchids especially popular.
Roses in all shades work out well in the
ribbon and chenille work. Wreaths or
other conventionalized patterns in which
flowers appear are both dainty and effec-
tive. II one is making an experiment a

OF the sunshades may be undertaken. In
addition to the free use of embroidery on
the silk and chiffon parasols there are
many other kinds Of needle work that can
be used to advantage. Tucks either by
themselves or in combination with some
other form OF trimming, are extremely
fashionable. Ruff1es of the same material
or contrasting color are added to some OF

~ UMMER sunshine will fall this year
in myriad lecks and shades through
parasols wOndrously embroidered
49, and betrimmed. There are plain
parasols. but one will look far to
find them. Decidedly ornate In a peculiarly
decorative season is this feature Of wom-
ans wardrobe. Naturally the cost is in
proportion TO the ornamentation. and in
the shops one may pay from sI5 to s10O
for gauzy sunshade and still have one
of only modest pretensions to elegance.
There is. however. one saving phase of the
seasons styles. 1t Is possible for the clever
needlewonan to make for herself at COM
paratively small expense what would al
most bankrupt her had she to pay for so
elaborate a creation.
In the effort to obtain new decorative
effects several kinds of old-time embroid-
cry have been revived. and these are used
conspicuousIy on the new parasols. Lead
ing in popularity is the ribbon embroidery
which almost score of years ago enjoyed
great popularity but has been little seen in
recent seasons. This work has the advan-
tage OF being particularly snowy in proper
ton to the amount of labor expended. 1t Is
simple also, and any one who knows even
a little of embroidery do 1t with fair
success. In any fancy work shop where
the materials are sold such instruction can

eyes. For this reason a thin silk lining of
color is desirable. even If 1t is not quite so
fashionable Green Is good for the eyes,
but faint rose tint is more becoming to
the complexion. The Pompadour and Dres-
den silks make extremely pretty sunshades
for summer use and require less ornamen-

OF lace are used in these in various ways.
