SOME IDEAS CLEANED FROM
THE EASTERN PAPERS.

. . I. /. . &. X.
A house gown that Is stunning on II
tall figure is a semi-fitting model with
narrow plisse frills of silk on the lon,;
seams of the gown and sleeves. and at
the edge of the small fichu-shaped
collar. This develops very we'll in
mourning goods.
A thought that strikes one frequent
ly is that the various shades of purple
and amethyst seem to be equally be-
coming to blonde and brunette If the
complexion is bright these tones en-
chance 1t, and If it is dull, they appar-
emily add a dash of color to pale
cheeks
The white petticoats fluffy with lace
and embroidery arctic be very. very
fashionable accompaniment Of the
summer gown.
The embroidery on front of the
lingerie waist may be applied just be-
low the square or pointed chemisettes
the edge being buttoned in scallops and
the embroidery design spreading grace
fully at the top and trailing off slend-
erly towards the bottom.
Crops of tucks almost Invariably dec
crate the wide cuffs of long-sleeved
lingerie blouses when the blouses
themselves have tucks as a decora-
ton. To me the fine. dainty tucking
on the sheer materials Is very pretty.
Because the extravagantly Tilted
hats are very much in vogue Is no
reason that one should wear them If
they are not becoming. Indeed, the
very fact that they are likely to be-
come so universal is sufficient reason
for some discriminating women to
look about for something quite differ
emit; yet there is an undeniable dash
and verve about them that Is quite
captivating when worn by the right
women.
Lovely flower hats are seen. though
not as commonly worn as a season or
two ago. The. new ones do not con-
fine themselves to one kind of blossom
for hat, but several different flowers
are combined; for instance. the roll
ing brim of one of the newest is pink
roses, the top pale green maidenhair.
while the trimming is of lovely purple
and white laces.
An odd oblong belt buckle that is
quite attractive is old brass with thgfe
medallions like old coins set diagonal
ly from corner to corner; another is
of pierced silver studded with imita-
tom topaz.
The work Of a new New York club.
whose purpose is to enable women who
like to do their own sewing. to have
stylish and up to date toilets is noticed
in Vogue" The managers have en-
gagged rooms and an expert cutter and
filter. The members of the club take
their materials to the rooms, where
they have the service of these experts,
and then complete the garment them
selves. either at the rooms OF at home.
as they prefer, the expenses being
paid by the club dues:
A tablespoonful of the best French
vinegar, a drop of Tobasco. and the
usual salt to TASTE" is the proper sea-
soning for mayonnaise dressing, of
which the foundation Is one egg yolk
amt small cup of oil. If liked sharp
er. a little more vinegar may be used.
A ruche of soft satin ribbon around
the low crown Of round hat of fine
straw is quite pleasing change from
the flower wreaths. This new ruche
is not extravagantly full. but has more
the appearance of single bows caught
very closely at the middle and set
close together about the crown. Upon
the bandeau and along the lower brim
near the back is handsome wing
A black hat of fine straw is trim
med with heavy silk ribbon with
rather wide black and white stripe
and deep red roses. This Is not a
new combination but very service
able one. r
