Fashionable dressmakers say that the
shadow check materials have many adj
~vantages. One is that they can be worn
by thin and fat, short and tall; another,
that the wearer does not tire of the shadow
check so readily as the real thing, and
still another. that this novelty attracts
attention without making the wearer con-
spicuous.

need not pat himself on the back and con-
clude that a shadow check will pay for a
gown made of this novelty material. On
the contrary, it comes high, but is wcll
worth the price.
In the thin v~ei,ings care sh ould be taken
to select a lining OF such color as will
bring out the chec'ls. For exam0le, a
tan material should be lined with taffeta
OF a decided rintish yellow; dark blue
with light blue; Du Barry rose with a much
deerer and richer shade, and so on. Silks

imported frock OF black silk mousseline

wide ribbon shot in gold and black with a
design Of dull soft colors over the surface.
This ribbon was let into the skirt above
the hem, with very narrow openwork lines
of gold lace insertion, and similar ribbon
formed the girdle of the frock and was
combined with mousseline in a little shout

The trimming is one solid mass OF beads

Let no one speak disrespeotfully Of rib

truly works Of art and, whether the supply
has created the demand or the demand
has brought about the supply, at least
one fact is olear-ribbon Is this season to
hold a much more important place than
usual among fashionable materials.
Milliners are taking up the ribbons with
downright enthusiasm and until one has
studied the methods and results Of a gifted
French milliner one cannot know the pos
abilities contained in ribbon.
The backs Of the forward fitting hats
are now filed in with ribbon as often as

the tone to bring together all the shades OF
ribbon passing through it.
Tho wonderful lowered ribbons are
also used by the milliners, sometimes for
the full soft crowns Of picturesque wide

had a wide brim Of black horsehair, under
meath which shaded roses lay against
tho wearer's hair, but on the outside the
only trimming was a soft draped crown

Beauty culture must be BY q systematic

attempt, else the time spent is wasted and
the effort Is vain. 1t is the nightly butter-

Every season has its special rernicious
effect upon the complexion, and the woman
who has learned the secret of refreshing
her skin with buttermilk finds in It her
weapon to combat the tan and sunburn of
summer, and the roughening and ~chapping
winds of winter, as well as the Sudden

The lecturer deplored a tendency In the

This German lecturer is not the first
person by any means to suggest that Ameri-

poor home makers. From time to time the

various women reformers, but such ac-
cusations are rarely made by the Ameri-

she likes TO be pleasing to the other sex.
