light and cool that 1t Is really more
attractive than a more elaborate style
of dress.
Although the great majority of I'M

with perhaps a colored or lowered
ribbon girdle worn Tor variety from
the constant white, still there are coli
ored lingerie frocks to be seen. anu
while perhaps not so desirable from an
economical standpoint, are certainly
attractive to make up for their slight
drawback. A lavender batiste. for ex-
ample worn with a large garden hat
trimmed with roses and lilacs, and
parasol to correspond, makes a costume
that is altogether charming. and what
matter if it does have to be carefully
guarded from the suns rays: there are
surely plenty of costumes to fall back
upon if this one gives out during the
first months of its life. One can all
ways be confident of being well dress
ed in a pale blue or pink lingerie
gown, and green is another popular
shade for summer time. For an open
design with considerable lace inser-
ton, a colored silk slip shows up the
work effectively, and these colored
slips are now exceedingly fashionable
for wear with the fine batiste gowns.

n NE of the newest and prettiest af-
~ fairs for a bride-elect is a sachet
shower, and it has the merit of being
inexpensive.
The hostess provided a lot of Japa-
nese paper napkins of good quality, a
bolt of blue baby ribbon, a supply of
large darning needles and bottle OF
violet sachet powder. In the invita-
ton each guest was asked to bring her
thimble and material for some kind Of
a sachet. A great variety of dainty,
sweet trif1es thus fell to the lot of this
popular brido Some were embroider-
ed, others made of tiny triangles Of
silk to be fastened inside the waist,
linen ones filled with lavender to be
laid among the sheets and pillow
cases, perfumed blotters to lay on the
desk, and not least were the dainty
drawer and trunk sachets which the
hostess told them how to make out Of
the paper napkins. A thin layer Of
cotton was placed between a row Of
three napkins forming the top and
three the bottom. The napkins were
laced together by the baby ribbon;
then the two halves were laced togeth-
er and fastened in the corners with a
bow of the ribbon.
Dainty little pictures of the BRIDE
elect mounted on heart-shaped card
board, with a tiny wreath of forget
me-nots painted around the picture,
were given as souvenirs of the occa-
sion.
d EMEMBER that a room that has
ID sunshine ali day should never be
done in yellow.
Remember that the shades to use in
rooms where there is an excess of sun
shine are dull green, the bronzes or
the reds.
Remember that if the ceiling is too
low striped paper does wonders in
raising it,
Remember, if the room is a small
one, self tone, that is to say, a paper
whose stripes are in the same color
but little different shade, is the best
choice.
Remember that a brilliant combina-
ton or colorS in a stripe VIII make a
room appear smaller.
Remember that large figured paper
should be avoided, for it is apt to be
so very striking as to become tire
some before one feels like going to the
expense of having It done over.
Remember that for a dining room
nothing is better than plain burlap or
cartridge paper, and instead of hang
ing pictures there a most pleasing va
riety to the other walls of the house
is obtained by using china plates, eth
er on the plate rail- or hanging them
as one does pictures.
