The department of the ready made will
in the dress scheme than it is at present
was a prediction made by & woman the
other day from the idea that 1t was the
only safe way for people to spend dress
money By some people who cling to the
old ideas. the first auractiveness OF ready
made gown is considered rather as a false
allurment than as an advantage. But
when the constant failures and disappoint-
1nents in having dresses made are Teck-
oned the greatest advantage OF the ready
made Is seen to be in knowing what one
is getting.
There never is any end to the plant of
the woman who weeps that the dressmaker
mas cut up her goods and that she has TO
employ somebody to do 1t over. Another
thing which Is hardly realized by those who
are inclined to scorn the ready made is
that accomplishing ones wardrobe through
a dressmaker here, a tailor thera, and q
shirt waist maker somewhere else is really
a business in itself. business woman
and a woman who lives at a hotel with all
the appearance of nothing to do were com
pairing notes on having had the busiest time
OF their experience. The surprised question
of the business woman to the other as to
what she had been doing brought forth
the fact that the last two months had been

things and those who were making over
her old ONES she had spent the whole time
in going back and forth and planning with

getting things back for alterations which
were invariably needed.

which most of the guests, having small
dolls of their own at home, found of imme-
date use in filling the demand Ito bring
me something when you come home" A
menu was served in which coffee predomi-
mated. FIRST, there were small daintily
Drowned and deliciously fresh pieces OF
buttered zweiback, and with them hot cof-
fee, with cream and sugar. There were
also tiny almond cakes and apple cakes
Then there was coffee Ice cream, with
which were served cakes with coffee icing
coffee candies and black coffee. And as
special contribution to the little party Ger
man songs were sung by young musical
friend of the hostess.
Correct
Drawing rooms are now perfumcd. After
the busting process Is finished and the last
window is closed the fresh air is tmpreg-
mated with some delicate scent which Is
sprayed upon curtains or upholstery by an
atomizer. There also are new atomizers
that come in the shape of little whrllng
fountains, that perhaps were intended for
sick rooms originally, but which madam OF
fastidious taste has the maid bring into
the drawing room and set going as a finish
ing touch.
The potpourri Jar again is fashionable
as one OF the happiest ways OF pertaining,
and as a means toward the same end there
is seen again a rose geranium plant or
some other little pot of old-fashioned
understanding bloom.
A sandwiching of perfumed padding also
is applied 10 the latest sofa cushions. This
scheme is carried out by choosing a flow
cred silk or chintz covered with Violets, or
apple blossoms, or wild roses. whichever
may be the perfume affected by the owner
Partly to protect these from that dusty
smell which extensively mingles with the
daintiest OF perfumed household furnish
ings. these are covered with a thin swiss
or white organdie which may be taken on
and washed. 1t also answers the double
purpose of making the simplest little cot
ton cover look as lovely as silk.

White

Furniture always is hard to treat so as to
relieve h from monotony A bed room set
consisting of new and original designs and
pieces relieved this by having glass doors
frequently inserted, so as to allow of gath
ering in silk curtains, which were profusely
furnished In a deep, strong old rose.
The dressing table had its glass swung
between little side cabinets furnished with
glass doors, behind which were the rose
curtains A wardrobe, after the fashion of
a bookcase, was treated in the same way
With these silk Shirrs as background the
covers on bed and dressing table also in
rose, were emphasized.
The covers also were put on under glass
which gave a look of permanency to the
color which Is particularly needed In the
white furniture, and which Is a good way
to treat an ordinary white set even IL there
are not any of the attractive little extra
places in which to introduce silk. There is
no better color TO combine with it than the
soft rose pink. and in this room the idea
was carried out still further by a glowing
old pink rug of unfgured French Wilton
The Counterpart was of pink silk, and the
couch covered with a great white fur rug.
stood across the high white footboard of
the bed In such way as to form a break
of white between the pink bed and floors
Ivory walls were also in this room, and a
collection of charming French water colors
was framed In deep rose mats. The wood
work was also white, but the hangings,
though not over prominent In quality. were
of the soft rose color at the doors, and
drawn back over the white net at the win
dows.
Says
Mr.. George Clark. the mosaic artist, speak
ing of women in this branch OF art: They
have the advantage over men in their
keener sense of color. their greater delicacy
of touch. their more ready sympathy for
and apnrecia ton of the designs of fha a r.
list. A woman can, as the expression goes,
carry color IN her eye. that Is to say, she
can remember a shade and match II with
out having to take specimen with her.

lALLAROUND' y HOUSE

This power IS of small value, as the
mosaic artist is the preserver of color
In this artistic perception Is necessary
although they are not necessarily called
upon to make designs. The worker may
have to take geometrical pattern ana fol-
low 1t in color. or a painted figure and re-
produce 1t in exactly similar tints to the
pattern given. This Is by no means an easy
task, for while the pieces of glass, IL taken
separately exactly match the painted COL
ors. when they are brought together the
surrounding tints may destroy the wished
for effect.
1T is In this failure to harmonic that the
imported mosaics are at fault. They are
given out In pieces to different workers, and
although the pieces IN themselves may be
faithful reproductions. the whole is almost
always inartistic. The mosaic artist works
straight on the wall or place for which the
mosaic is designed He considers the Dos
stbilities of the position, the light and the
shade. and the colors in the surroundings.
