the material is chiffon broadcloth,
with collar and cuffs of velvet, the
seams being simply stitched with beld-
ing silk. Every suiting material Is
appropriate, however, and the coat is
also a pretty one for the separate
wrap, and, severe and simple as it is,
there are a number of variations that
can be made. Collar and cuffs can
be of the material while their edges
and those of the coat are bound with
braid, or If something still palmer is
wanted the sleeves can be made long
and the cuffs omitted. leaving a per-
fectly plain coat sleeve. There are
pockets that are both smart and con-
venient, and the little coat is one al
together to be commended from
every point of view.
The coat is made with fronts and
side-fronts, side-backs and under-arm
cores. The fiat Tuxedo collar finishes
the neck and the pockets are inserted.
The sleeves are made in two pieces
each and are laid in pleats at the
shoulders.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards

New MuciIage Bottle.

The problem of devising a muci-
lage bottle which would prove en-
tirely satisfactory for home use has
received the attention of inventors
for many years. Everybody is fami-
liar with the nickel bottle of muci-
lage purchased at the corner store.
The bottle is securely sealed by
tight-ftting cork, and with each bot
tie small brush for applying the
fluid is supplied gratuitously. After
using the mucilage the question
arises of what to do with the brush.
The cork must be replaced or the
mucilage becomes hard. If the brush

Sun-Bonnet and Hat.

Washable hats that are such in fact
as we'll as in name are always in de-
mand for the little folk during the
warm weather. Here are two emin-
emily satisfactory ones that are dis
tinctly different in style, but both of
which can be taken apart and laun-
dered without difficulty. In the il
lustration the hat is made of dotted
pique simply scalloped at the edges
and held in place by means of lawn
ties. while the sun-bonnet is made of
white lawn, the brim portion being en-
broidered in simple design. A great
many materials can be used, however,
and everything that is correct for
hats and bonnets of the sort is APP
propriate. For the little hat linen,
pique and duck are perhaps the pre-
ferred materials, but lawn, with the
brim interlined, also is seen, while for
the sun-bonnet both white lawn and
cross barred dimity are liked, with
also the pretty Dresden designs that
are so childish and so charming.
The hat is made with crown and
brim and with a straight narrow
band. The band is attached to the
inner portion of the brim and to it
the buttons are sewed Button holes
are worked in the crown and the two
are buttoned together. The sun-bon-

A neat method of solving the difficult

the inner side of the neck of the bot

side being open. The brush fits IN
