Jhe GSoman Unashamed

Some suburbahites. while guests at the
house OF a mutual friend. got to talking
about burglaries- Mrs. Dare told about
hearing noise down stairs about in the
morning and of how she crept softly
across the hallway into Mr.. Dare's room
and aroused him. and Of the ultimate rout
OF the thief, who left his packed plunder
on the dining room table.
Then Mrs. Ware told how -sha was
awakened by noise at the sash of her
bedroom window. how she hurried I'D one
flight to Mr. Wares apartment and got
him up. and OF the brave capture of the
burglar by Mr.. Ware. who held him until
the arrival of the police
Mrs. Tare's firm jaws were set and her
eyes had strange light in them as she
told her simple story. She related how she
was awakened in the dead of the night by
a cold wind blowing up the staircase
through the front door. which she knew
she had locked. With an abundance of de-
tan she explained how she raised herself
on her elbow and punched Jim, who was a
sound sleeper. in the back TO awaken him

country by private persons from Ma
nila- These shining and dainty crisp
textiles, in made up form, are in the
shape of the wide sleeved sacques
worn by the Spanish beauties In the
Philippines. Here the sacques, which
are embroidered IN the Spanish con-
vents are made up into little bodices,
which smart women lay aside for any
moment that calls for dainty finery. A
silvery whiteness Is the tone of these
fragile and beautiful gauzes, some of
whose embroideries seem almost relig-
ious, SO ecclesiastical are the pure
forms OF the designs.
With all worked frocks of any
dressiness. lingerie petticoats are worn,
the silk drop Innings now being consid-
cred hard and less effective in every
way. The wash skirts themselves are so
fine with stitchery and lace and loopings
and knots of ribbon, that the least
glimpse of one adds not a little to the
loveliness of the outside garment.
The embroidery trimmings invade all
qualities of materials. The coaFsest
canvases show worked designs as
smooth as il painted, and a fragile net
and mousseline may be combined
thereby In a most novel way.
A delightful garden party frock seen

saving grace of the new embroidered
textures. The eve wearies of too much
opulence and the Ioveliest art can be
overdone.
Some smart little box gowns of
heavy linen in coarse and fine weaves
and in white and colors show the cor
rect degree of needlework for simple
morning frocks. The skirts OF these
are plated or gored and short enough
to escape the ground. The shirtwaist
alone shows the embroidery, which In
the newest designs outlines a yoke Of
some sort. With these the stock NAV
form part Of the yoke. and a wide or
narrow band outlines the worked girdle
which must accompany all embroider-
ed frocks of this simple description.
Most Of the heavier wash. gowns es-
pec1ally those for morning wear, show
belts in the same material and so much
is this point admired that a girdle Of
any other sort seems out of keeping.
1t is only with the fussier afternoon
frocks, such as those made of handker-
chief linen, mouSseline, French lawn,
etc., that ribbon or silk or satin belts
are worn. and sometimes there is no
belt at all. for number of the dress
models are in princess form. Square
or round yokes and trimming outlin-

or leather covered. Black or white
leather is usually employed for the
binding OF any color moire. A wide
strip of pliabIe kid or suede In con-
trasting color may take the place OF
the silk.
But the summer girl of 1906 win
count this silk and leather belt as only
one OF collection. She has a leather
belt TO match the skirt of every one
or her daytime fFoeks. or at least to
ofrer some refreshing contrast and
match her stock or tie. In many of
these colored belts two or three straps
OF the same leather meet. both in back

artistically. Particularly pretty is a
tan suede belt painted to show small
peacock feathers in natural colorings
scattered in a circle around the leather.

fullness is effected by deft plating of
the skirt at the hips, from where the
cores flare enormously. so that the
lines Of such wide jupes make the
figure look really slim.
Upon any texture which will admit
OF >splendor are used the charming
Louis XVI ribbon embroideries
Shaded tape ribbons are employed for
these-a different tone at each side
and the dainty medium is twisted and
turned to form rosebuds and leaves
and the charming waved ribbon de-
signs or the Louis periods. Violet and
pale blue made a choice combination of
color seen in the waved ribbons of the
embroidery of a white silk parasoI.
The flowers these held were in punches
of white and blue forget me nots made
also with the tape ribbons.
Chenille shapes likewise some of the
most beautiful of the new needlework,
and in the form of little roses tied with
the ribbon embroideries it appears radi-
antly upon the crepe and net gowns and
airy lace parasols. In fact the splendor

Again the embroidery OF a batiste dress

Handwork naturally takes the first
place in the field, but a number Of the
machine embroideries have almost

conceived. Hardanger, a Norwegian

and wool veilings, is perhaps the new

ZACH succeeding summer of late
IL years has witnessed a greater
H. vogue for embroidery. Once
confined entirely to exclusive
garments, this radiant trimming now
riots everywhere. The purse must be
light indeed that cannot purchase a
touch of it, and If some of the gown
effects seem a little too florid. others
display the most exquisite delicacy.
And with these there is always one
consoling thought-simplicity in this
case means vast drop in price. For
most of the new embroideries are done
by hand, and some of the needlework
incloses complicated braiding and in
sets of appropriate lace superbly
put in.
The embroidered wash gowns-so
called, for frequently the delicacy of
texture and mass of furbelows require
dry cleaning-are by far the prettiest
of all. Many cloth and crepe gowns
show bits of magnificent embroidery,
the work with these generally taking
the form of vests. collars. cuffs, etc.
But over the entire bodice of a wash
material, and over half it's skirt, will
sometimes run a design of ffowRrs so
big as to seem outre, were it not that
the embroidery matches the gown ma
terial. This evenness of tone is the

TODAY'S PARADE

NTVEN fair weather and Dame FASH
ll5 ion will startle staid pedestrians
with some of the eccentricities
displayed on the Easter parade. Here
are some of the small things sported
by women:
Buckles and cabuchins for hats In
Indian bead work, showing pale pink
flowers on a blue ground, or vice versa,
with a dash of gold. These vary in
size from a diameter of two inches to
a length of four or five.
Prayer books bound In velvet or
moire silk to match the coloring Of
any of the spring fabrics.
White glace kid belts painted In
bow knots and garlands, all in pastel
tints.
Crosses ten inches long to hang from
slender gold chains in colors to match
the frocks; amethyst with gray and
lavender dresses, topaz with brown,
emeralds and cats eyes with green.
Tortoise shell combs measuring
eight inches across which almost over
shadow the tiny floral toques worn
above them.
With the popular check gowns, wam-
pun chains finished with an elephants
tooth for pendant.
For a sixteen inch waist a peculiar

THE GIRL WHO
DON'T CARE

IT HE girl who don't. care is an old
II acquaintance. We meet her in
the nursery, in the schoolyard. at
the picnic, in the ballroom, but in later
years we do not meet her at all, II We
can help it. because she stands very
much alone in the world.
When she is a wee tot and breaks
her brothers favorite lead soldier, she
meets her mothers gentle reproof with
on, l don't care, the horrid, ugly
things!" A year later. when she
reaches the tomboy stage she tears her
gown climbing a fence, she reads re-
proof in her mothers tired face, rips off
the dress, filings 1t across the room
and mutters: II don't care! / al
ways hated that dress anyhow!" And
her mother sitting up far into the
night, baptizes the rip she is mendins
with bitter tears, because its small
wearer Is unrepentant.
In the schoolroOm twelve months
later she is working out a sum on thA
blackboard, but she makes a mistake
at the very beginning. When the
teacher shows her the error instead OF
slowly and painStakingly correcting
this one line of figures she rubs the
whole sum off with a sweep of the
eraser, and stumbling back to ber seat,
mutters: We'll. l don't care; and I
just hate sumsl"
Clad in her first ankle length frock.
she goes to the Sunday school picnic.
and petty quarrel arises between her
self and her chum over some such trifie
as the respective merit of tatting or
Battenberg lace collars. There are
sharp words and angry looks. Finally
she filings down her basket and darting
from the surprised circle of young peo-
pie, plunges home through mist of
dust and scalding tears, with the Oft
repeated words: We'll, don't care;
and / just hate Minniei"
Then love comes into her life, Ii
softens the querulous curves about her
lips and silences the ugly words-for a
time. But there comes day when the
old nature reaSserts itself. 1t Is the
first cloud on the honeymoon's golden
sky. Her husband goes down to bust
ness without the usual morning caress.
and the angry little wife filings on her
street clothes, packs her -satchel, and
lands in her astonished mothers arms,
with the old exclamation, II don't carei
Harry Is unjust. and l never, never
want to see him againi"
But she does; and between forgiving
husband and taetful mother she is in
duced to return to the little home. The
cloud never quite disappears from the
matrimonial horizon, however. Hus-
bands forgive, but they do not forget.
Two sorts of girls say Il don't care
One is the little lass who somehow
thinks that the whole world, including
mother ana teacher, has its hand raised
against her. The ether is the super
sensitive girl. who really does care, but
who hides her hurt pride and genuine
repentance by the rebellious words. Tho
latter girl is reilly to be pitfed, be-
cause il her mother had been wise she
would have read the young nature
Alright and taught her daughter tha
true joy OF forgiving and forgetting.
The first girl rather revels in her sense
OF maftyrdop; the latter hungers for
the sympathy that is denied because
she is misunderstood.
