Sprina Wraps.

The modish woman never fails 20
be possessed of separate wrap for
spring wear. Her choice may be a
blouse bolero, an Eton with or with
out position back, long redingote,
or Louis XIV. coat, each of which
has many notifications. If silk is pre-
ferred, she may choose black satin
faille, bengaline, moire, taffeta, or one
OF the smart weaves of tussur-silk.
A loose, comfortable coat is the one
garment every woman should possess.
1t should be large enough to go over
a short jacket and skirt, and yet look
we'll when worn with a blouse suit.
1t can be worn on rainy days, in very
cold weather, for travelling, driving
and automobiling. These coats can
be bought ready-made in the shops,
but can be made at home, providing
one has good pattern, as they re.
quire but little fitting except at the
shoulders. They are shaped at the
back by means of wide seams, or are
held in by double straps of leather or
cloth.-The Pilgrim.

Novelty L-aces.


The lace blouses for evening are
very pretty The simplest are made
of Valenciennes lace, which comes at
its prettiest about an inch wide. This
lace is overlapped SO that there is an
edge which looks like a little ruff
fle. And row after row of lace can be
put together, making dozens and doz-
ems of these little ruffles. The work
must be all done by hand. and there
must be the daintiest stitchery put
upon it.
Finally. the bodice is cut out and.
when completed, it is a mass of little
lace ruflles. 1t needs very little trim
ming. Yet around the yoke and
around the stock, or bordering the
bertha, there is a twist of satin to
give it finish and touch of color.
Satin is wrought in very pretty ways
right into the waists of washable
dresses. OF course, they are never
meant to see the tub and for that rea-
son the satin is used as a piping and
as tiny little bow finish here and
there. Little bows OF satin are con-
cealed in the trimmings and the ends
are pulled out to look like butterfly
wings.

BOYS RUSSIAN suIr.

One of the most popular styles for
little men is the Russian blouse, with
full. short trousers, and some of the
late importations show very smart lit
tie garments of this description for
small boys. They are especially popu
lar with French tailors, who are send
ing over more models of this fashion
than OF any other style. Our model
for to-day is from Paris-a stylish lit
tie suit CT heavy white linen, the loose
blouse finished with a long sailor col
lar, pointed in front and cut square
across the back. With this is worn
a bright red taffeta silk scarf and red
patent leather belt. In the corners of

shield in front are worked stars and
chevrons in red. to match the tie The

Try Soft CASTLE Soap.

One of the most convenient things
to have on every washstand is a jar
of soft CASTLE ooap. This is made by
scraping a cake of pure soap and
adding about a pint and a half of
water Put them together into a
saucepan and stand over brisk heat,
but not one that will boil the liquid.
When the soap is dissolved pour into
a wide-mouthed jar. When the mix
ture cools 1t will be jelly. This is
excellent to have to rub on the hands
when washing. diluted with more
water, to which couple of pinches
of soda is added. 1t is a harmless
and cleansing shampoo to be rubbed
into the head, which is then rinsed
thoroughly.

Effect of Touches of Color.

The all-white linen suit is decidedly
the most fashionable, yet touches of
color are wonderfully attractive. All

on, delft and the other porcelain
shades, together with the light and
sky blues-French rose and long
line of yellow. almond and other leaf
greens are the favorite additions.
A pretty frock, for instance, of
sheer white linen had its trim shirt
waist decorated with bands of open
work embroidery Amulating a bolero.
At the neck appeared little white
guimpe closed by a knot of peach

ears.

a suspicion of sympathy with those

Veil Pins.

In selecting pins for her veil. the
tidy girl is careful to affect no vio-
lent contrasts For her white veil she
has pearl-headed pins, and for her
black wells pins of polished jet. If
she has variety of veilings in colors
she does not fail to have on hand a
pin ball or cube holding pins headed
with various colors. In fact, these
colored pins are essential to the make
up of the tidy girl, as modern fashions
require a liberal use of pins despite
the efforts of the most clever dress
makers to provide the requisite num-
Der of loops and buttons.

velvet slightly darker around the
