His Limited knowledge.
Fuller: He knows little who tells

Tussore Coat and Skirt,

A tailored coat and skirt Of tussore
in dull rose pink, with no relief save
large pearl buttons and an adjustable
lingerie collar of white embroidered
linen, is charming costume for sum-
mer outing wear where extreme serv-
iceability need not be considered; and
panama hat turned up in front after
the fashion beloved of prep school
boys and decorated by a wide scarf
of soft taffeta matching the pink of
the frock is the hat which the French
woman would choose to complete such
a toilette. Add blouse of sheer
white batiste with pert lace edged
frills and an embroidered linen collar
and you have French version of the
outing costume which is far cry for
the Englishwoman's idea

For "the Cup That Cheers"

Afternoon tea is now an established
and welcome custom in most house
holds, and there are many welcome
additions to the cup that transforms it
so that the visitor often asks, What
is it?"
One hostess uses arrack, another
green mint cherries with bit of rock
candy for sweetening, another places
four whole cloves in each cup, rum and
thin slices of pineapple is the embel-
lishment given by another. Half claret
and half tea is the favorite formula
of little southern woman renowned
for mixtures.
The dainty Japanese waters to be
found in the delicatessen shops are
just the thing to serve and are the
very latest caper. If the hostess pos
sesses a set of gold medallion Canton,
the teapot in it's cozy basket, if she
passes candied ginger on quaint
Imari plate and burns the best orien-
tai incense in a bronze burner she is
doing quite the most up-to-date thing,
and her teas" will be noted in her
community.
Just at present there is a copying of
the ways and customs of our oriental
neighbors; fashionable society. both
men and women, are talking of
scarabs, things Egyptian and things
Chinese, but that is another story.
Only ask young miss what she most
wishes. eand il / mistake not, she will
reply, "A Chinese mandarin's coat or
a gorgeous silk embroidered kimona."

Handmade Thinqs for Baby.

the models pictured, but when lace
is required as trimming, only the fin
est should be used. If the real valen-
ciennes is too expensive, even for
simple neck and wrist frills, select a
good imitation valenciennes, but
coarse lace should always be avoided.
fhe little sack pictured was of fine
white flannel, buttonholed and en-
broidered daintily by hand in pale
pink silk.
A new variation in baby caps is
shown in the drawing, the little bon
net having turn-back flaps, edged and
frilled about with lace. Where hand
embroidery is too difficult or tedious
for the average seamstress little
handrun tucks, herringbone stitchery,
rolled edges and seams set together
by hand with entredeux, all help to
give even the simplest little garment
daintiness and distinction No lace
need be used in trimming or else
merely narrow frill about the neck
and sleeves

DAINTY THINGS FOR TRAVELLER.
Compact Little Case to Hold Ones
Pins and Rings.

compact little case for pins and
rings is made of piece Of fancy rib
bon lined with piece of eiderdown
flannel, the whole bound by narrow
ribbon. One end the ribbon Is turned
over to form little bag for rings
and is fastened with tiny buttons and
buttonholes. The pins are stuck in
neat little rows in the iderdown fan
mel and the case may be rolled up and
tied with narrow ribbons. Equally
useful is case for wash ribbons made
OF piece Of POWERED ribbon six or
eight inches wide and about 10 inches
long.
Turn up one side of the ribbon about
three inches along the entire piece,
and feather-stitch it down at intervals,
forming four little pockets. Into these
pockets slip four cards on which Is
bound wash ribbon, using either the
favorite color of the girl for whom it
is Intended or else winding two with
white ribbon, one with pink and one
with light blue.
At one end make a little case for a
bodkin and at the other fasten a small
pair of scissors.
This little convenience is easily
slipped into the travelling bag, where
1T takes practically no room, and the
narrow ribbons are always needed for
dainty underwear.

The Delicate Blouse.

In thin, delicate blouse the whole
hang and shape of 1t depends upon the
waistband, so that to avoid future
wear and tear that same waistband
needs must be most carefully adjust
ed. The amateur often makes the mis-
take of gathering all the fullness into
a narrow space right at the front and
exactly at the back, whereas If this
fullness is disposed to form straight
line from shoulders to waist a far
prettier shape is gained, whether the
figure be slender or plump. In fitting
that waistline one should have all
ready an inch-wide straight muslin
band with the raw edges turned in.

TO MAKE FOR BABY
HAND EMBROIDERY MUCH USED
ON INFANTS GARMENTS.
Some Dainty Models Which Can Be
Easily Copied-All Done in
"French Convent" Work.

Although hand embroidery is so
much fad at present that 1t is law
lshed upon great many garments, it
has an especially important place in
the making Of infants clothing, the
embroidery used being of the finest,
most delicate order. A great many
women delight in doing such fine hand
work, and for anyone fond of fine
needlework the making of fine baby
clothes has great fascination. All of
the garments pictured in the drawing
were made entirely by hand, the
sketches showing some very dainty
models which could be easily copied.
The embroidery is all done in what
$ known as French convent" work,
'ather fine, soft cotton being used,
the flower and leaf forms all being
padded. Very little lace is used on
