The Making of Lovely Little Wash
Coats May Usurp Other Fancy
Work This Season.

The range of styles Is Il broad one.
There is the lace coffee jacket or
bridge coat, used early in the spring
for wear with dressy little bridge
party trocks. At that time the coat
consisted OF a low-necked. short
sleeved and peplum belted affair made
of any of the oriental, pOsnt Nenise.
Nalenciennes or Cluny laces, and very
much resembling a lace matinee. Now
it is becoming in an embroidered
batiste or allover lace-made street
coat, short and frilly, made with wide
elbow sleeves, and considered a neces-
sary accessory for wear with the sum
mer lingerie gowns of null or lace
1t is capable of home manufacture
and can be fashioned Of any of the
odds and ends of lace one possesses:
may include dainty little embroideries
that have done duty before, or it may

to suit the feminine members. though
there may be an occasional masculine
protest against an excess in supply.
The latest notion is to have one or
two cushions of heart shape resting
on top of the ordinary square pillows.

accompanying illustration shows. The

touch of embroidery is added. In
perfectly plain corded silk without
adornment the heart cushion makes
an admirable accessory to the sofa
furnishing. Broiderie Anglaise on

ors dominant in the room. makes an
excellent covering for such cushion,
the gaugng being dispensed with ia
favor of a hat-shaped border OF the

Padded Caps Worn to Give the Hail
Delicate Fragrance-No Heavy
Scent Allowed.

The girl with the scented hair is the
popular craze. Her hats seems to be
scented and her wells; yes, and her
complexion, too-all perfumed. Does
it all come from the scent of the scent
ed hair? That is another question.
The girl with the perfumed hair
knows how to select her perfumes.
She does not pick them out at hap
hazard. by any means Nor is she
reckless with them. She picks out
the right scents and uses them in the
right way.
The secret in perfuming is to
choose the wild flower scents. The
dollhouse scents are apt to be heavy.
Or you can choose the made" scents,
which are very good indeed. No mat
ter what odor is selected. let it be one
that is refreshing. Don't choose
heavy funereal odors. There is all
the difference in the world between
odOrs. There are scents that make
one faint and depress one. and there
are others that enliven. Choose the
latter.
The girl who goes in for beauty
can just as we'll scent her hair as
not and she can do it in an unObtru-
sive way. In the summer time the
hair is heavy and it smells heavy.
1t is not light and agreeable. and

ON BRIDGE WHIST.

I received a letter the other day
that put me over the ropes.
I'll paste it up here just to show
you that it's on the level:

Dear John: have never met you
personally, but I've heard my brother,

Dear John, If you look around you
can see on every hand that the glad
season of the year is here, and il you
listen attentively you may hear the
hoarse cry of the summer resort
reckoning us to that bourn from which
no traveller returns without getting his
pocketbooR dislocated.
Dear John, could you please tell me
how to play bridge whist, so that when
l go to the seashore | will be armed
for defraying expenses.
Dear John, I am sure that il
could play bridge whist loud enough
to win four dollars every once in
awhile l could spend large bunch
of the summer at the seashore.
Dear John. would you tell low

the game without having to wear a
mask?

games recently with wide faced young
man who grew very playful and threw

his ace the young man arose, put on
his gum shoes, and skeedaddied out of

of the beer.

New Way to Perfume the Hair

now is the time to scent it. There are
ever so many ways of doing it.
Upon the piazza of Newport hou5e
a girl sat the other day rocking.
AS she rocked she held in her hands
the tips of a pair of bonnet strings
sawed the strings. Upon her head
there was bonnet, not the ordinary
bonnet. nor yet sunbonnet. 1t was
a curious little Venetian affair which
might be called headdress, yet in
reality it was a scented hat.
The material was a pale pink silk
and the lining was pink like the out
side. 1t was made with little round
crown into which the head could be
slipped and there were little ear-like
tabs coming down upon the neck.
These taps were filled with perfume
and the top of the hat-the tiny lit
tie crown-was also full of perfume.
1t was redoent as the breeze.

themselves all alone. ia: from the eye
