NO BE cool in our hot summers one
must cut absolutely loose from
heavy draperies in house. Cur
tains and portieres that in win
ter are the perfection of elegance, az
the first hot day seem oppressive and
out OF place. Even silk hangings, though,
Of course, better than tapestries or
woods, do not give an impression of cool
ness, however little air they shut out
But some me asks: Would you nave

summer? Are no draperies permisslb!eE
That IS entirely a matter OF lndlNluu-

Many housekeepers, however, feel dit

The question of curtains is easily dis
posed Of. There are numerous light,

IN this section. Portieres are more diff

parent beaded hangings, 50 popular IN
tropical countries. These have been
steadily growing in favor in America in
recent years and this season are pref
tier and, better yet. cheaper than ever
before.
An entire novelty in this style OF por-
there are those made of wood shavings
strung so as to resemble chenille, only
much lighter in appearance. They come
in rich Persian colorings, in block pat
tern OF green and red, or in gay horal
designs.
Their chief objection Is that they are
rather bad dust collectors. though II Is
possible TO keep them in fairly good con-
dition by vigorous shaking.
Then there are ihe portieres OF pressed
rice paste, shaped, dyed and strung on
heavy silk. Particularly light ana airy
Is this poTtiere, with its indistinct floral
bouquets on delicate blue yellow and

BY far the most lasting and servicea-
BILE of all these Oriental portieres are
those made OF glass beads. They come
in exquisite colorings, which, in the sun,
or under artificial light, glisten charm
ingly. They are made with combinations
Of the several inch-long bugle beads and
very tiny necklace beads.
one lovely pOrtiere was strung in such
a way as to have a background OF dull,
pinkish red, with a conventionalized pat
tern in white and green thrown in bold

OF turquoise blue, amber, white and

Besides their beauty these glass por-

washing well. At the close of a season
they may be taken down, scrubbed In
water and washing soda, and come out
the next year as glistenlng as ever.

Mourning Starch

THE wearing Of mourning I'm sum-

those women who do not consider

Black, at the best. is warm, and many
women feel they cannot wear the sheer

This idea Is quite erroneous. Black
cotton will wash in the washtub, and

WELL-BRED BREAD EATING

IN THEORY we say externals should

our real worth. The stranger knows
but what he sees. and Judges accord

table manners. A man may be a

Fortunately, these fagrant breaches
OF table etiquette are not so common

The Exposition of French Artists"
Coming from California last autumn.
Miss Hunt has been acting as secretary
Rue de Chevreuse during the winter.
Some of the artists about the Quarter
knew that she was a newcomer, study
ing at Delacluses's AS she is not much
given to talking about her work, every
body was surprised on entering Sale
VI to see two excellent portraits wei
hung signed by Esther Hunt. Though
the young artist was hopeful, she UNI
doubtedly shared this surprise herself.
They are only the first and second por-
traits painted Jy her, and were done en-
tirely without criticism.
Miss Hunt studied last year at Chase's
life class In New York-her only year
OF real study. Though she had had some
irregular criticism from Bond FRAN
cisco before leaving her home In los
Angeles, she might be said up to last
year to be self-taught.

strong individuality shown In the sim

subjects are treated. In a room iiled

Hunts portraits stand out with dignity

LII the old Idea or mannishness
~ connected with outing fashions
~ has disappeared and in its stead
have come out the most feminine
aHairs In the world-shirtwaistS with
sleeves cut off at the elbow. turned back
IN deep cuffs. and soft. separate collars
that roll away from the throat and
make the neck of plain shirtwaist into
comfortable, picturesque thing that Is
charming. Yet with all their new femi-
ninity, they are invested with the quality
which the sterner sex finds 1t so hard
TO grant our fashions-that of prac-
ticability.
For the most part. outing fashions re-
solve themselves INTO two classes-coat
suits of serge and linen, and shirtwaist
suits, which usually have skirt and
shirt as carefully matched In material
and character as are the Jacket and
skirt of the coat suits.
In obedience to some unwritten law,
shirtwaist suits for athletic purposes
are all-white; the few that show collar
and cuffs of a contrasting color are
looked at askance by the majority of
women.
Stunning suits of serge come-coat
suits, the jacket made loose and cut
about to hip length. the skirt escaping
the ground by good three inches.
White serge is first faVorite, although
white striped with black and finished
with black buttons and perhaps black

is a lot more serviceable All Of them
are made with the regulation coat
sleeve, cong, OF course, and most OF
them have the patch pockets so con-
venient for handkerchief and purse
when you need both hands for golf
sticks or tennis racquet.
Khaki Is splendid for outing suits. and
new shade of linen, deeper than khaki
and not quite so yellow, is the newest
color of all for either outing or walking
suits.
