Flowers OF real lace are the orna-
ment Of some Of the new French
hosiery.
The most modish buttons on custom
or tabernacle are wooden molds COW
cred with cloth the same as the suit.
Cut Comedian beads are coming in
fashion again, and are very beautiful
when they are combined with cut rock
crystal beads.
The shirred girdle is seen upon chill
dren's dresses occasionally, but seems
less appropriate for little folk than the
narrow belt of the French dress.
Linen suits embroidered in color are
more and more coming into vogue.
White linen embroidered in red makes
very effective costume and another
in dark blue is equally desirable.
The rather narrow circular pieces
which are used as a finish for the
elbow sleeves in place Of the usual
cuff form little frame or background
that usually adds to the attractive APP
pearance of the arm.
Flalu sklrLs are TO De much worn this
summer with coats of plain color
harmonizing with the dominant tone
in the plaid. The skirt Is a semi-cir-
cular shape. with graduated pleats
starting from the hips until they ar
rive at deep folds, which hang loose
at the hem.
The girl who cannot afford to have
her tub frocks embroidered directly
upon the material will use bands OF
embroidery and evolve almost as
pretty effects. II is not unusual to
see blouses and dresses with not bit
Of hand work on them which are more
dainty and would be generally pre-
ferred to some decorated with hand
embroidery. 1t makes quite a differ
ence how the embroidery is applied.

SUPPORT FOR cLOTHEslIME.

An interesting device lately patented
by Missouri man Is illustrated be-
low. It s a unique arrangement to
support an endless clothesline, with
the additional advantage that the user
need not move from her position at the
turning wheel to hang out the clothes.
The apparatus consists OF a main post,
near the top Of which is large aper-
ture through which extends shaft,
mounted Fpon which is large grooved
wheel rotated By a crank aud handle.
Directly In front Of the aperture Is an
extension and guide strip. ANY suit
able distance from the main post is
another post, near the upper end Of
which is a grooved pulley fastened BY
a strap. Two feet below this pulley
another pulley is placed. adjusted BY q
pin placed within small holes IN the
post. An endless line connects the two
pulleys with the operating wheel, the
line being placed on both sides Of the
guide piece to take up the slack in
the Line, the lower pulley to be moved

feature of the costume The fancy for
having things match" is quite as
marked in the new shoes and hosiery
as in other articles of dress. such as
hats, gloves, ETC., and pumps and ties

shades and coIorings, both for street
and house wear. The linen shoes are
also to be worn In all shades to match
summer gowns, and are charmingiy
pretty, pale green, lavender, etc. with
ribbon ties or bows and hosiery to
match.
Dark blue linen shoes are also shown
fer street wear, to be worn with blue
linen frocks to match, and the tan
and natural color linen pumps are also
very modish.
Tan Russia leather pumps are as
much In favor as ever, worn with thin
Isle or silk hosiery to match, and some
of the newest models in these tan
pumps have small bows made OF the
same leather as a finish in front in
place Of the ribbon ties worn last year.

Miss vanderbiIt,s Flarue.

One Of the finest Jewels that society
has seen in many a day was recently
purchased by Miss Gladys Vanderbilt
At first glance it resembles a tiny
ball of flames encircled by an almost
imperceptible gold rim, but on closer
survey it turns out to be convex opal
concealing a timepiece about the size
Of dime. So attractive is it that her
masculine friends-and some of her
feminine ones, too--say that when they
see it blazing on Miss yanderbilt's
dress they are inclined to ask for a
light. York Press.

Ingenious woman.

The wife Of a Kansas farmer, so the
story goes, got tired Of asking him to
fix some things about the house that
needed fixing, and one day after he
had come home from town told him
she had done the work herself.
"And you know" she said, 'the

The pretty brass and copper basins
which our students bring home from
abroad and which are frequently to be
picked up in the foreign quarters Of
large cities, make excellent receptacles
for scraps.
The scrap box or basket as sold in
shops and fancy goods departments is
seldom in accord with the other fur
nishings Of modern library or living
hall. Yet as something of the kind is
really necessary in a room much used,
it is well to visit Japanese dealer

Of grass and twigs good in shape and
color make another hint, and jars of

are using this shade in combination
with puce, and even with mole color, q

favor. 1t is one Of the few dyes that
looks well in lace. and is, therefore. en-
pioyed in that way.
