Ribbon Flowers.

The newest table decorations are
made of ribbon, which many clever
hostesses fashion for themselves.
Debutante luncheons afford excellent
opportunities for the display of ribbon
flowers, the centerpiece and rose fa-
vors being manipulated out of soft
louisine curled in such manner that
it exactly duplicates a la France rose.
Artificial leaves are used and the rose
stems are wound with green velvet
ribbon. Bunches of violets are easily
conjured into shape with narrow vio-
let ribbon and when combined with
natural leaves the effect is exceeding
ly good. In making these blossoms
care must be taken that only soft rib
bon be used, as stiff satin would be
anything but pretty for such a pur-
pose.
The Cook County herald., 1905-06-17
Skirts little Changed.

1t is a comfort to many that with
all the changes going on in styles,
skirts remain almost the same. The
six-gored circular cut is introduced
and is exceedingly artistic, but most
difficult for any but the ligh-priced
experts to make. Thirteen cores put
into broad box plait back and front,
with side plaits between, meeting at
the hips with an inverted box plat. is
very popular and stylish. For every
day washtub gowns the new five
gored pattern is the best to follow. 1t
is slightly gathered at sides and back
and is trimmed with the old-fashioned
deep Spanish f1ounce, quite straight,
but not too full. This has tucks and
a hem at the foot line 1t is mounted
with a gathered heading or with a
two-inch band of embroidery or heavy
lace. Stitched bands Of the material
are not among the new fashions for
skirt trimmings.
The Cook County herald., 1905-06-17
For Large Women.


A style of bodice becoming to large
women is that made with jacket
fronts, not the loose, hanging bolero
fronts, but a trim, tight fitting affair.
single or double breasted, or fastened
at the left side. The jacket comes be-
low the waist line in front, and it has
a small, shaped basque back; an in
ner vest with overlapping revers
shows between, or above and below
the overlapping jacket fronts. One
point that every woman at all inclin-
ed to stoutness should remember
is to keep the line Of her waist
long by cutting all her clothes
with straight seam and dart lines,
and placing the waist line half
an inch below where she actually
feels the line to exist. A garment
cut an inch too long wasted looks in
fnitely better than one quarter OF
an inch too short waisted; especially
is this to be noticed in the plain tailor
coat made with single fly fronts.
When the coat hangs open it rides
up in the back when not long enough
in the waist, and it gives most awk-
ward appearance to woman.
The Cook County herald., 1905-06-17
DressY Effects.


In thin narrow fabrics the circular
top is preferred to skirt and the
rest is all ruf1les. One circular ruff
fle may be used as a foundation, begin
below hips, and the trimming put on
this.
Princess gowns are appearing in
the thinnest of fine muslins, and
handkerchief linen and linen batiste.
They are tucked to fit into the waist
line and are elaborately trimmed with
fine lace and slight designs of hand
embroidery.
Many women whose figures can
stand this severity are making up
such gowns decollete with sleeves end
ing we'll above elbow for summer
evening wear They are put over
slips of colored batiste at fifty cents a
yard.
These slips are also princess, fit
ted into the waist a beading Of narrow
ribbon which is tied in fiat bow in
the back and they are rufled at the
foot line.
The passion for hand embroidery
has grown stronger each week. Who
ever can do it, is putting it on every
possible garment.
The Cook County herald., 1905-06-17
filmy Laces.

An effort that assuredly means
business this season runs in favor of
filmy laces, headed by the ephemeral
blonde. The fresh varieties are ex-
ceptionally numerous and at present
appear to be collectively gathered to-
gether under the safe and vaguely
embracing term of French. Towards
the fashioning of Jabots together
with the prevailing rufaed and wrin:
kled effects, there is no question as to
the superior services of this finer den-
telle, and under it's auspices one is
the more inclined to. overlook certain
extravagances of pattern. Nor will
the furore for the frmer and more
costly varieties Of embroidered
lawns, as decorative accessory, be
any less pronounced than last season.

freshening carpets. add a tablespoon
full Of kerosene and the result will be
still more satisfactory than usual.
Lunch cloths for bungalow or coun-
try home fitted up with rustic or mis-
sion furnishings, are made of coarse
linen in gray or tan shades, with bor-
ders in some gay, contrasting tone.
When broom becomes shorter on
one side and the ends of the straws
become as sharp as needles dip it into
hot water, trim it evenly with the
shears and you will have broom
nearly as good as new.
The Cook County herald., 1905-06-17

The shirt waist costume has to
some extent superseded the tailor suit
for general wear. The accompanying
illustration shows natty box-plaited
waist, combined with a side-plaited
skirt in round length. Serge, cheviot,
or shepherd plaid among the wool ma
terials are exceedingly good for a
frock destined to be worn in cold
weather, and any of the inexpensive
mercerized cottons, which so strongly
resemble silk, are suggested for the
summer months.

New RuffIe Trick.

A new ruff1e trick seems to have
accomplished the apparently impos.
sible task of getting still more full.
ness into the skirt about the feet. The
ruftle is of embroidery, shaped and
gathered into half circles, which join
at the tips. Under this rut1e is an.
other, with all the material pleated
into it that could possibly be disposed
Of. The pleating only shows in be.
tween the sections of the ruftle in the
airiest way imaginable.
