New Table Service in Glassware.

Written for The Star.
The way in which meals are served in
hot weather is equally as important as the
way in which they are cooked, and she Is
a wise housewife who makes a study Of
having her table present cool, fresh. APP
pearance. Spotless. stin linen Is, Of course,
the first step toward this end. and clean
table cloth and napkins should be supplied
never less than twice a week and In most
cases every two days.
The second step-and this has less con
sideration from the average hOusewife-is
the use of glassware for the service of the
various courses Summer hanSings and
summer furniture have for many pears
helped to give a seasonable atmosphere to
a house In hot weather, but summer table,
ware has not until this year become
vogue, and It Is In different varieties OF
glassware that IT finds tappiest expression.

enciennes lace shirred on a thin silk fOun-
dation fall in circular ripples to the elbow.
In some cases these are lightly yelled by
embroidered chiffon or fine net dencately
appliqued with narrow princess braid.
White, ecru or family tinted edging Is en-
ployed for the fittings of lace.
Another accessory of interest to the wo-
man of fashion is the new complexion ven
which comes this summer In so many DIFF
ferent varieties of patterned nets as well
as in exquisitely fine laces. One of the
handsomest examples is a dark colored
woven dot net some three yards in length
and about twelve inches wide. To this mar
row width is added a wide border OF two
lengths of black silk gauZe ribbon between
which is set q two-inch Cluny insertion.
The border is made to finish the ends as
well as the long sides, that falling in
long sweep from the back Of the hat the
veil is made to effect very Frenchy ap-
pearance by its loose, careless draping.
In France these elaborate wells are sold
already made UP with strong clasps to
fasten them together at the back. It is then
but a moments work to adjust them over
the hrim of a hat securely and does away
with the fuss and bother of pinning every
time they are put on.
Made-Up Wells.
Especially favored for wear in the hot
months is the white dotted net veil with
border of Chantilly lace insertion and edg
ing The lacey effect in wells gained a ire
mendous vogue emong modish dressers last
summer. This season their ultra-smartness
has worn off, and they have lessened in
price they have gained a marked popular
ity. They are not more than a yard and a
half long, the short ends being pinned In
rosette or butterfly form at the back of the
hat, while the veil itself is allowed to hang
straight from the brim all the way round,
the lace edging in some instances almost
resting on the shoulders.
Other wells are finished with narrow quill
ings of silk and ribbon, still narrower
friIling being applied IN tiny motifs in place
of a border. Marvellous effects in the way
of f1eckings of chenille dots are also offered,
and the veil counter holds out the most
fascinating, If not the most costly attrac-
lions of the seasons shops. It must be
noted in passing that veil Is really cor
rect without some kind of a border on one
edge at least, which enables 1t to fall in fin
ished fashion straight from the brim of the
chapeau-a drapery which is absolutely es-
sental during the heat of the next few
months.

Written for The Star by Katharine Anderson.
The fashionably dressed woman this sum-
mer Is possessed OF endless dainty knick
knacks and seemingly unessential access
series which give a distinctly feminine fin
ish to her costumes. In fact. her street
get-up depends very largely for Its smart
ness on these very fetching additions, and
while woman may do without any or all
OF them, her love of perfect gowning de-
mands that not single one escape her
consideration. nor what is more, place in
her wardrobe.
Most notable among the novelties offered
for her selection are the neck ruches which
have returned after several years absence
to unprecedented favor. However. they
appear this summer in a greater assert
ment than was ever seen before, and their
form varies from the close Elizabethan ruff
which stiffiy encompasses the throat, to the

hair tyers, which may also be of pale blue
pink, are neater, surely, than musseo
ribbon, for however well recommended the
wash ribbons are, they never have just the
right look after doing up.
In the matter of footwear the usages or
tropical countries, where all white gar
mentS are worn in the hot season. declare
first for white. But French kid in tan or
black is equally COOL and either sort, with
white or matching socks, keeps careless lit
tie feet looking neat much longer.
Little Trimming
Finally, word as to underwear. which
for girls should be of American lawn, with
as little trimming as possible. At the
juvenile Quitting places chemlses, draw
ers, skirts and night dresses are displayed
In this texture in well-made and effective
models The material washes handkerchief
soft, and the made-up things are SO cheap
as to put a premium on idleness.

bosoms, and sometimes matching tie For
the hottest days thin madras, with raised
silk figure. pongee and wash silk are some
modsh materials.
A word as to the children who must
wear black.
Mourning which Is depressing at al
times IS more than ever so in hot weather,
and so for the sultry days 1t should be
Hghtened In every way. Even In the deep

Eappiest results for hot weather for these
little frocks are white French dimity and
plain or point d'esprit footing. The dimi-
ties. which are delcately patterned, are
also charming, and the little frocks in them
accord very sweetly with the various styles
of wash sunbonnets. These are shade
warmer than the wash hats, but they nave
a bewitchingly country air, and some eXag-
geratedly simple styles have been appro-
priated for smart children. They Will be
worn at all of the stylish out-of-town places

quite the fad to bring juvenile summer wear
down to the simplest point.

Atty-Gen. c. c. Fits has rendered an
opinion on the new caucus law regard

TO participate in caucuses, must file their
party intentions at the time OF making
their tax returns.
The opinion holds that the names OF
five per cent OF the voters Of a city or
town. irrespective Of party. signed to a
petition can compel the use Of the check
list In all party caucuses. II no petition
Is filed the caucuses can govern them
selves as to whom they will allow to par
ticipate and TO vote.
The voters have the privilege Of filing
their intentions with listers on or before
May Is. II voter has already given his
list and has not filed his party Intention
he has the privilege Of demanding his in
ventory again from the listers in order to
I'LL the proper blank that fixes his right
to participate in his party caucus,
After May Is the board OF civil author
ity has no right to bestow upon an I'M
registered voter the privilege Of taking
part In caucus. But as before stated II
no check list Is called for by petition none
will be used In the caucuses.
This opinion was asked for from Barre
because a petition signed by 70 voters,
little more than the required five per
cent, was filed with the city clerk on Sat-
urday calling for the use OF the check list
in the caucuses.-L Montpelier Journal
