New Idea in Gown.

A new gown worn at a recent gar
den fete was of mousseline de sole in
the champagne tone. The skirt was
made with a graduated flounce of net
and lace, and this same trimming
formed the sort of bolero, long-shoul-
dered drapery over shallow guimpe
and flowing sleeves of embroidery net
The gown was made up over a deli
cate shade of violet taffeta, and the
stiff boned girdle has a fold of orchid
purple velvet. The pipings were Of
striped silk in two tones of purple.
The hat worn with this gown was a.
round sailor shape, trimmed with a.
wreath of shaded pastel roses. The
parasol was of violet taffeta with
medallions and an edge of applique
and net.

IN LEISURE HOURS
PRETTY WORK FOR THE MO-
MENTS OF REST,
Stitch Work on Canvas One of the
Most Popular of All Employed
SiIhouettes Now Largely
Used for Decorations.

Among the fashionable summer
needlework that is finding place on
almost all the verandas during the
hours when women rock and talk
pleasantly of their friends and sew,
the canvas cushion cover or pillow
slip is perhaps the most popular item.
The cross stitch work on canvas is a
most popular revival because it is
easily done and rather quickly done
and the results are very elaborate. All
of the old patterns which were fash
ionable in our grandmother's day are
now being revived.
The same remarkable dogs, cats,
groups of animals, landscapes and
punches of strange, stiff flowers are
appearing on to-day's fashionable pill
low slips meant for use on couches.
One side of the slip is made Of plain
silk, linen or chintz usually, and the
front is covered with the canvas pic
ture work. Besides the scenic COW
ers and those ornamented with the de-
signs described there are many in
which a conventional scroll work or
similar geometrical pattern is
wrought with shaded woods. The can
vas used for these cushions since wool
is employed in embroidering them is
very coarse.
Another sort of work which is quite
popular is the decorating of linen
cushions and covers with designs in
which silhouettes appear. The de-
signs are of the French miniature Pc
riod, done in colored linen thread, and
the silhouette or miniature is usually
in black.
On table cloth or cushion slip there
should not be more than four or six
of these silhouettes, and these should
be framed by circles of colored en-
broidery, the rest of the design that
<converges toward the silhouettes be-
ing in garlands and forming the con-
nection between the miniatures. This
style of embroidery is particularly
popular on the colored linens and
those in the natural line color of a
very deep tone The black silhouettes
against this grayish brown back
ground and enlivened by embroidery
in several colors are harmonious and
attractive. On the colored linens the
same effect can be produced by a
careful choice of colors, but for the
white or very light tinted linens the
black silhouettes are very difficult to
bring into harmony.
For table covers, cushion slips, etc.,
the colored chintzes and cretonnes
are also much used this summer
They are combined with plain ma
terials in an effective manner. The
Powered cretonne is used either for
the background or the decoration OF
these covers and cushions. When the
plain material is used to trim the
Powered background it is brought
from the back of the cushion in q
band and is finished with an irregular
edge, usually bound with braid.

prime, so have them for the first
course with natural leaf doilies on the
plates. Then either creamed sweet
bread patties or chicken croquettes
with potatoes, tiny hot rolls, green
peas in paper cases, cucumber and
tomato salad in nests of white head
lettuce hearts, fancy cream either in
individual forms or fancy holders,

usual accessories of nuts, olives and
bonbons. This menu may be elato-
rated by having: birds on toast and
another entree.

Pretty Ways Of Dressing the Neck
"a Without Discomfort.

The woman WHO dresses her neck
neatly can be forgiven a great many
other faults, and there are many ways
of doing this without enduring any
great discomfort. The linen collar is
probably the most practical of all, and
is seen this summer in great variety.
Most of them are embroidered in blind
work or eyelet and with them are
worn soft lingerie ties or bows. Get
these collars in a comfortably large
size and not too high. They are the
coolest things you can wear and still
look neat. The high gloss of the
starch seems to resist the perspiration
and feels cool to the skin. Little pro-
lection or rundown collars, while
they are not particularly new, still
find favor now and then, but that
means you must wear silk stock,
avoided
Another dainty and cool fashion
that has asserted itself is the wearing
of soft lawn and null ties with en-
broidered or hemstitched ends. These
ties are about yard or a yard and a
half long, and should go around the
neck twice-by that I mean place the
middle of the tie under the chin, carry
it around the neck, cross it at the back
and tie the bow in 'front.' You can
tack little pieces of Whalebone in
these ties to keep them upright, and
pin them fast to your blouse with a
fancy pin.
|; The young girl and the debutante
have things pretty much their own
way, as soft rolling collars are almost
universally worn by them. These are
finished off with a Windsor tie or
piece of ribbon to harmonic with the
dress they are wearing. High stock
! collars and four-in-hand stocks are
| seldom seen any more, which is a
blessing, for nothing could have been
more heating to the throat than those
made of heavy English madras that
were worn SO much at one time.
| The lingerie bow of nainsook, lawn
or null has taken the place of silk
bows and these are easily made at
home from bits of material and scraps
of laces that have been left over.
The sheer blouse waist should have
a collar of lace insertion attached to
it, and tiny pieces of featherbone are
sufficient to hold them up. The skele
ton collars, made of stiff goods and
bones around and up and down, are nc
longer worn.

FELL SHORT OF REPUTATION.
How Philanthropist Peabody Was
Judged by Irish Fishermen.
I. A FAIR BALL.

Juoqeo by IRISH flsnermen.
A good story of John Bright and
Peabody, the philanthropist, is re-
called by Justice Johnson's interesting
reference to the former in his charge
to the jury at Limerick in the action of
William O'Brien, M. P. The judge
pointed out that it was to Bright, who
came frequently to Ireland to fish at
Castleconnel1, near Limerick, that
they owed the initiation of the action
to buy land in Ireland for the tenants.
On these occasions the great tribune
was always accompanied by George
Peabody.
One day they went a couple of miles
up the Shannon between Castleconnell
and KillalOe. They had engaged the
services of two boatmen, and as
Bright and Peabody were keen anglers
they made long day of it.
On returning in the evening Bright,
noticing a policeman on the river
bank, asked what sum the boatmen
were entitled to for their time. The
constable said anything from seven
and sixpence to ten shillings. Bright
turned to his companion, saying: II
have no change, Peabody; have you
three half crowns?''
The millionaire produced the coins
and gave them to one of the boatmen,
who said: ,"And is that all ye're
givin' me?" '"That is ALL" replied Pea
body. "Well that bates all I liver
heard,' observed the boatman, adding,
as he scratched his head, AN they
call We Paybody. Faith, I should call
you. Paynobody!'

Care for Ruds.

If you have not a rattan beaten take
a strap in cleaning rugs. Never use a
switch. Always sweep with the nan.
You will find that your rugs will last
much longer. Take basin of warm

soak newspaper in it. Tear it up in
small lots; squeeze out and, scatter
over the carpets or rugs. They will
take up all the particles OF dust and
the result will be gratifying: i.

OF the bag is sewn a very close and

either of gold with jewels or of etched
silver, and they are fitted with long

Next to the bead bag comes the
reticule, charming article, provided
with ample room for all of ones lit
