 These little trifies that count for sc much at certain hot weather periods, can really be gotten upfor song; especially if made al home. The model here shown is suitable for linen cambric. many of the thin cottons. It is in the popular Empire style, a feature of this particu- lar design the gathers that at intervals confne the fullnes and which give more graceful appearance than the or dinary Empire, which is apt to make the wearer look more or less shapeless. Where skirt and waist are joined, a soft scarf. matching the embroidered border. is folded. and is finished in front with a rosette and long ends.
 It may be comfort to the woman too busy. or not able, to make wrapper or dressing-sack, that the shops now offer an infinite variety of summer negligees at very reasonable prices. While the designs may not be just suited to indi- yidual taste, these ready-made garments have much style, enough mayhap to es- cape the criticism from members of the family that express distaste for loose ap- parel even about the house As rule they are not finished very carefully, but that can be done by oneself at the cost of only fraction of time. Among those noticed as w-priced were very pretty colored lawns trimmed with borders in contrasting color, or with border in a sort of Persian design.
 Long. loose summer negligees come in dotted swiss and in light-colored dimi- ties and mulls; these are trimmed with lace insertion and lace ruffies. and fasten with ribbon streamers. They are very voluminous. Of course these are merely for lounging. not for practical af- fairs. For hours of labor a wrapper of any sort is .delusion and snare any ~.s~s-s --- .s~ rsOE nN-~
