Uses of Ribbon,

In the summer hotel one will see a
great many flying ribbons this season,
for the ribbons are again in style.
There will be sashes tied in front and
ribbons tied on the side. There will
he pompadOur girdles, ribbon choux
and so many ribbon decorations of all
kinds that you will be unable to count
them all. Hats are trimmed with rib
bons this season; girdles are made al
most exclusive along ribbon lines, and
the ribbon counter furnishes the ma
terial for choux, stocks, cuffs, lapels,
belts, waist trimmings and festoons.
One will see very wide ribbon gath
cred along one edge to make skirt

ribbon shirred along each edge to
make a puff for skirt. One will see
so many handsome bands Of ribbon
upon the new silk gowns that one will
wonder If there is any other trimming
used; ribbon, ribbon everywhere.

Younu. But Wise

One neophyte in housekeeping who
mas started on an economical plan and
doesn't boast of a superiority of dishes
pins her faith to white tissue paper -
keep foods sweet in the ice box and
free from contamination from other
foods. Everything she puts in her
refrigerator, like butter, milk, salad
dressing. and the like, she covecs
over with tissue paper, keeping it in
place with a rubber band.
1t is her own idea, is an economical
one, so far as multiplying dishes is
concerned, and is a hygienic one in
that the paper is proof against the
penetrating odors which might affect
the taste or quality of the food.

Though many critics complain that
the woman of modern times is almost
too intellectual, there doesn't seem
to be any immediate danger that the
supply of delightfully."- feminine"
maidens will diminish. Certainly the
shop windows seem to signify that
mental adornments are not doing
away with those of another variety,
for lavish are the displays that they
afford. The new hosiery, for instance,
is lovely enough to make the newest

Some of the new millinery is very
startling, a lily-green chip hat being
trimmed with three plumes in differ
ent shades of purple, whilst posies of
different hued blossoms may be seen
adjoining golden-brown and white chip
hats. Wreaths of leaves only and just
a fall of cherries at the left side are
seen on simple morning straw hats,
and wreaths of heliotrope and white
blossoms with a fold of leaf-green vel
vet, which forms the bow in front, are
the favored trimming for a light bis
cult coarse straw hat for a girl. Brown
and green straws are much shown for
everyday wear.

Evening Dress for Summer.

The evening dress of the summer
woman is like the evening dress of
the winter woman, largely a matter
of purse.
The evening dress of this summer
should be in delicate tint, but should
preferably not be of very thin goods.
1t is not a season of transparencies,
though there are many to be seen.
But the preference is more for the
delicately lowered stuff; for the thin
silk, with it's little embroidered null;
the pretty lowered and figured ba-
tiste and the lovely little summer
stuffs made up for evening wear with
the semi-low neck and the elbow
sleeve, with the little floating ruffle.
The shoulder must, in all cases, be
broad, and the skirt can be tight-ft-
ting and trailing, or it can be short
and many-gored to stand out in the
pretty old-new style.
