COATS HAVE QUAINT EFFECTS.

Nothing could be quainter than

THINGS OF BEAUTY
EFFECTIVE oRAPERlEs FOR THE
DINING ROOM.
No Feature Is Of More Importance a.
a Means of Beautfying Apart
ments with Minimum OF
Expense.

Perhaps no one feature In the fur'
nishing of a room is so important as
the draperies. These more than any
thing else give character to their sur
roundings, and make an otherwise
commonplace room look individual
and comfortable. The success OF
draperies depends largely on the way
In which they are hung, but TINS is q
matter of which the average mousse
wife thinks but little.
Often expensive lace curtains are
seen hung with rings on heavy prass
rod, and placed outside from the WIN
dow casing, taking the place OF tne
heavy over-draperies. These thin lace
curtains should be used as sash cur
tains only, and should be hung within
the casing close to the sashes. Inc
heavy poles and rings are suitable
only for over-draperies.
These over-draperies are a very de
s,rable addition to a room. and they
should be of some heavy material u
fit into the color scheme OF the room
Usually they are hung outside th'
casing, though sometimes, II the wooo
work is particularly good, they ar
hung within. If the window reacne

the same.

treatment especially suitable ior

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Silk fringes adorn the ends OF
scarfs or stoles of lace and the same
are used for the characterization OF
sunshades.
The black iris, a strange and weird
flower brought into fashion by Jean
Torrain and adopted since by mos.
women who aim at originality, Is just
now enjoying considerable success.
Net, closely dotted, is tied into Dig
Haunting bows, to be worn under the
chin. Some OF the bows are shown IN
white with colored dots and others are
in palest pinks. lavenders and blues.
There are short sashes shown on
many dresses, especially those slight
Nv short-waistcd in the back. Otner
belts are made of inch and half gold
or silver ribbon, weighted with tas'
sells.
A new waist is called the Boule, and
Is very becoming. 1t is usually o.
embroidered linen and valencienne'
and shows no visible seam, as thu
waist and sleeves are put together II
one piece.
Many of the sleeves show bewitch
ing puffs above the elbows, with
cuff binding it just below. This II
turn is supplemented by odd little lac
cuffs, which reach quite half wa
down the forearm.

Comparatively simple negligees OF
