Plques In Many Forms.

One can pay $3.50 per yard for a
French pique, or get something mod.
est and pretty for 12ia cents. The
finer varieties are not made in jump
er styles like the cheaper fabrics but
are more often seen in lovely little
jacket suits. The cutaway with long
sleeves is stylish model for a white
piQue and can be made extremely
beautiful. Like most dresses of its
kind II looks best when trimmed with
stitched bands and embroidered but
tons. The little laEels, collar and
cuffs are neat with white embroidery.
Many of the piQue skirts have the
tailored effects. Few. il any. are
trimmed unless, perhaps, bands of like
material are used and stitched down
the seams. This suit is always worn
with a very sheer waist.

PROPER WAY TO CLEAN RUGS.
Those OF Expensive Material Need
Most Careful Handling.

Cleaning rugs-especially the an.
tique ones that cost hundreds OF dol.
lars, really is science, and house
wives possessing any of these much
valued floor coverings should remem.
ber IL when having their spring
cleaning done. The. mistake of brush
ing with a stiff broom against the
grain should never be made, and IL
necessary to prevent this, mistresses
personally should superintend this
work, for going against the weave
takes off the silky nap and loosens the
threads that bind the material to-
gether Neither should they ever be
shaken by one end or in the center to
free them from dust and dirt, for this
Is apt to loosen the weave. Pound
ing them with the regulation rattan
rug beater makes for destruction and
never should be permitted. The only
thing l know of to take the surface
dirt from fine, thin old coverings is a
thorough brushing or whisking with
strong but soft bristle brush, work
Ing always with the grain. After this
partial cleaning a damp cloth can be
stroked across the top to give a
brightness to the colors.
Once or twice year a genuine old
fashioned scrubbing will freshen the
colors. But | would suggest that this
be done by an experienced person who
will do 1t by hand, for modern proc
esses often ruin thin fabrics, and
once the weave is loosened and
the covering begins to come apart the
rug is of really little use for any prac-
tical wear. Once the dirt is blown
out the rest is comparatively easy, for
1t consists OF a,simple washing-scrub-
bing, rather-with cold water and
CASTLE or pure white soap, one that
has little lye in its composition, for,
although the colors are all the best
vegetable dyes in these fine rugs, and
should never run, any but pure soap
should not be used on them.

the solid color backgrounds should be
arranged next, the effects striven for
being extremely plain in floor, wall
and ceiling, selecting light and har-
monious tones. Drape the windows
SO as to exclude as little light as pos

Of the main ideas of the new straight
line style being to keep the surfaces

be decorative In line and coloring
themselves, but they should be framed
with extreme simplicity in narrow
wood molding, some frames rectangu-
lar, some few round or oval, to give
sense of diversity in line. They
should be hung perfectly fiat against
the wall, suspended from the molding
by one thin wire of as near as pos
sible the color of the wall paper.
Curtains and other draperies should
always be hung in straight lines, and
never draped, and should be used only
when absolutely necessary. A tardy

In the accompanying picture of an
alcove a delightful and dignified effect
was gained by the introduction of two
formal plants in pottery jars. The

gave an abundance of light, which
was toned and shaded by the thin
green mesh curtains. The color

New Austrian Railway.

Hitherto tourists from the United
States who chose the southern trip to
Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus
trian railway. There can hardly be
q more beautiful country than the
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 130 miles long. There are 49
tunnels. with a total length of ten
miles. There are so bridges, one Of
which. across the river Izonzo, has
the longest stone span in the world.
There are, besides, as many as 67s
smaller bridges and viaducts.-Con.

of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,

tion, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society

assets. at the end of the second year
Of the new management The Equit-
able now has $1O,95S, 900 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage

additional taxation would be an injus-

states, which impose no such penalty

Wear Eilets in Hair.

The summer girl should adopt the
fashion of wearing ribbon filets in the
hair during the morning. A smooth,
full pompadour is made and the hair
moistened trifle if it does not wave
readily. Then two bands of ribbon
are fastened snugly around 1t, the first
being an even distance from the edge
of the hair all around and the second
parallel to the first and between 1t
and the knot. Pull out the hair out
side and between the filets. This
makes a pretty and neat arrangement
for morning, and when one dresses for
the afternoon IL is necessary only TO
remove the ribbons and fluff out the
pompadour with comb 1t will lie
in pretty waves. This is a particular
ly good way to achieve the wavy Golf
fure now so fashionable, for it is be-
yond doubt the least harmful to the
hair. In fact, it cannot do 1t the least
injury IL carefully done.

Was there ever a child who did not
love dandelions? This gorgeous little
flower is first with us in the spring
and even stray blossoms may be found
late in the fall. A field fairly carpeted
with these yellow stars gave the idea
for this party. No sooner thought of
than dozen children had received
notes written in white ink on round
pieces of yellow paper asking them to
assemble in Parsons field at two
o'clock one June afternoon, Sewing
tables were set under couple of trees
covered with white crepe paper table
cloths. In the center of each was a
mound of dandelions, punches were at
each place and there was basket for
each guest.
When all had arrived there was a
contest to see who could gather the
most flowers in half hour; after the
spoils were counted the boy and the
girl having the most were crowned
with dandelion wreaths. Then they
made rings, chains and bracelets out
of the stems and told fortunes by the
full blown blossoms. Az five O'Clock
this delicious spread was unpackeo

pronounced it the best ever Bread

For the decoration of dinner-table,
or for placing on small occasional
tables, the little rustic fern-stands, of
which we give a number of sketches,
will be found both useful and orna-
mental. They are easily made. and can
be constructed in a great variety OF
designs, and decorated in many ways;
and IL is well within The power OF any
nimble fingers 10 make them.
The first sketch illustrates stand
made of thin twigs of wood in the
shape of a five-barred wooden gate,
and mounted on a square piece of
wood at the base. On the left-hand
side is a fern contained in a little
brown jug, and this is decorated
round the neck with bows of China
silk ribbon. Fastened together with
thin sharp nails, and left in quite a
rough state, this little stand will look
very well, or it can be made very
bright by entirely covering it with
geld paint

gether where they cross. The pot
containing the fern is supported by
the upper portion of the stand and
the sticks are decorated with the
leaves of creeper, or vine leaves,
twisted round and round them.
The third sketch is of a stand

ciple, but in this case the pot CON
tanning the fern is suspended with
fine wire or string in the center OF the
stand. bunch of ribbons fasten the
sticks together at the top. and pins
with colored heads are inserted at
the ends of the sticks to flush them
on. Narrow ribbon can be twisted
round and round the sticKs to entire-
ly cover them. or they may be deco-
rated in the same manner as the
stand previously described.

blotches gradually appeared, until

way to distribute these trifles is to
put them in a tissue paper bag made

bursts there will be shower of these
