Elaborate Corset Covers

thin and without lining there is a
greater need than ever for a large number
@, violating corset covers very beauti-
fully trimmed. q. course. while unlined
waists and dresses are so popular many
very particular women have underslips
made on purpose for each frock, but while
this may be necessary with princess or
empire gowns IL is certainly needless ex-
travagance and care with the ordinary lin
gerie frock. which is belted in. or with the
coat and shirt waist suit For wear with
these, petucoats and corset covers for gen
erai use are quite all that is required The
corset covers for summer should, whether
+or DAY or evening wear. be cut very low
IN the neck back and front with straps
only over the arm. Nothing is more de-
siructive Of the effect OF lingerie waists and
dresses than underwaists which come up

trimmed with fiat ornamentation rather
than rufftes. unless for a very f1at-chested
person. when rufties across the bust may
be used but these must be put on exactly
at the right line. for II they come either
too high or too low they are most clumsy

Ballads of Long
Ago Recalled

TSHE once on Time Club had under
consideration The ballads of long
ago" Il cannot sing the old songs,
apologized the lone member to the small
brown figure on the other side Of the
andiron. but my memory is as full of
melodies as a music box; echo melodies
from the parlor, the nursery, the kitchen
and the fields. The voices have left me,
like the last rose. they used to sing about,
and don't mind owning to you in strictest
confidence 'Atalants. that l have reason
to believe l am pining alone on the stem.
In the old days-don't demand dates
summer resorts had not invaded the map.
There were springs and watering places, of
course, like Saratoga, the Old White and
Cape May. but the genus country boarder
was practically unknown. People didn't
board. They visited. Washington society
made its annual appearance at fashionable
resorts and then usually came back and
spent the remainder of the summer at
home.
Those were the days when the summer
| house in the garden was working insti=
tuition, and when young ladies-women had
not arriVed-wreathed arms to walk around
the square-and entertained their callers
on twilight balconies front porches The
young people of the neighborhood would
meet every evening at one house
orher. and as the stars came out some one
would start to sing:
Soft, DER the fountain.
Ling ring falls the southern moon,
And DER the mountain
Breaks the day soon.
Then voice, probably an alto, would
begin:
meet by moonlight, alone,
And there will tell you u tale
Must be told In the moonlight alone.
And. always there would be some one
to lead with:
Ever OF thee fondly dreaming;
Thy gentle voice my spirit cheer;
Thou the star that Ger me mildly beaming
Shone DER my path when all was dark and drear.
Then some one would be asked to sing
solo, maybe this:
.'oh sweet is the vale where the Mohawk gently
glides
On It's clear winding way TO the sea.
Those evening concerts could never get
along without:
Tell me the tales that TO me dear
Long long ago. long, long
Sing me the songs delighted to hear
Long, long ago, long ago.

A Dress Mace of Postage stampA

At a ball In Bermuda a wonderful dress
was worn, sin the making of which over
80 600 stamps were used.
Years were spent in collecting the stamps,
and three weeks in the making OF the dress,
which was of the finest muslin. The lady
called upon her friends to help her, and the
dress was covered with the stamps of all
nations. They were not put on anyhow,
but in an elaborate design.
On the front OF the bodice was an eagle
made entirely of brown Columbian stamps.
Suspended from the birds talons was a
globe made OF very old blue revenue
stamps. On each side of the globe was an
American flag. having stripes OF red and
blue stamps On the back of.the bodice
was collection of foreign stamps in the
form of shield. in the center of which
was portrait of Sir George Summers. cut
from old revenue stamps.
A picture hat, covered with red and blue
stamps, was worn with this remarkable
dress

ABOUT IMITATION JEWELRY.
On the question of the propriety Of wearing

much debate. 1t was thought exceedingly bad
form to wear an ornament which was not real .
but the art of today fashions many orna-
ments which, while of no great intrinsic value,
are beautiful in design and workmanship, and
these, because they do not pretend to be other
than they are, may be by the wellbred
woman. Vulgarity only comes when the orna-
ment pretends to be something it is not and

Another bride refused to leave her house be-
cause the carriage that came to take her to the
church was drawn by only one horse. The
coachman was sent back to get the pair which
had been ordered, but this caused such delay
that when the church was finally reached it was
three minutes after the statutory time and the
ceremony ahd to be postponed till the next day.
