FASHIONABLE PEACOCK SCREENS.

The peacock craze in decoration grows
apace. Not only are the walls of summer
houses to picture the peacock In startling
array of brilliant tail feathers, not only
will the same bird stalk across the chintZ
hangings and pillows, but the peacocks are
also to be cut out and attached to screens,
lamp shades, &C., for decorative pur-
poses.
The peacock screens are made of plain
material-linen, denim, &c.-and mounted
on white enameled or dark stained wood,
according to the decoration of the room
in which the screen is to be used The
peacock is cut out of chintz and sewed or
pasted to the upper part of the screen.
of the screen. Usually there is cut out
with the bird the branch of a tree on
which he is perched and a few of the
bright blossoms with which figured chintz
abounds are also used to complete the
decorative effect. The making Of these
screens affords quite a field for artistic
effect, as the woman with an embryo talent
for designing and a good color sense can
make very pleasing and original effect in
design by the use of the chntz flowers
and birds. In some of the screens smaller
the chntz flowers to add variety to the
usual peacock design. Sometimes a desir-
able. effect may be produced by having the
screen in the peacock colors-blue and
green. The plain material with which the
screen is covered is In peacock blue and
the woodwork is in soft green. With white

leaves and stems. A sheer white material
is always best, made up over white. unless
there is any rare embroidery that Will
show to better advantage over color 1t
has always been thought that pale shades
require the added color Of slip the exact
shade Of the material. but lately there has
been a number Of chiffons, voies, crystal
lines and mousselnes in the pale, delicate
shades that have a white silk lining and
are most attractive, apparently. In con-
sequence of this very thing.
Lightweight cloth gowns can be Included
in this same category. and there are many
days in summer when cloth gown Is
most comfortable to wear-cloth In these
days having attained such marvellous
degree Of perfection in weave that 1t is as
light as linen or silk. Light shades OF
color and white are most In demand, and
the different shades of white are many
this season, SO it is possible to have a
variety of gowns in all white. Braidlng is
extremely effective on the white, the mar
row soutache braid and the two widths OF
Hercules both being effective. Bands OF
tucked chiffon with medallions OF lace
either Valenciennes or Cluny, are also
thought an extremely smart trimming for
cloth, and 1t gives SO much lighter appear
ance than anything else. Bands or lus-
trous silk or satin are also fashionable IN
trimming cloth gowns, and oddly enough
the plain bands are for the moment pre-
ferred to the embroidered, for the braiding
or embroidery is worked on the material
itself. This does not for a moment imply
that the bands Of colored embroidery are
not in style, for they are still in demand.
A most charming gray cloth gown is made
with plain skirt, but the waist is trimmed
with the most exquisite bands of embroid-
cry and has an embroidered waistcoat,
embroidered in three or four delicate shades
of blue, yellow, pink and mauve combined
in indescribably artistic fashion.
These absolutely plain gowns would seem

Woman and Suffrage.

Marie Corelli, in Harper's Bazaar.
That is really all woman wants to know
IF it be love indeed'-then she has her
suffrage" She can rule her slave for good
or bad. She governs man, and through him
she governs the world. And the Tell me
how much" is a naturally feminine attempt
to find out the limit of her power from her
lovers own lips. knowing all the time that
he will tell her there is no limit at all. She
is sure of her triumph.
And. SO L have already ventured to as
sert, all clever women are sure. They want
no audible voice in politics, inasmuch as
they can. II they choose, silently work the
whole business behind the scenes. Stupid
women clamor about their rights" evident
ly unaware that in the very force of the
clanlor they are throwing all rights" away.
The clever woman sits at homeland like a
meadow spider spreads pretty web of rose
and gold, spangled with diamond dew. Flies
or men-tumble in by scores-and she holds
them all prisoners at her pleasure with a
sflken strand as fine as a hair. Nature gave
her a her birth the right to do this and
if she does 1t well. she will always have her
web full. But her weaving must not be to
hold the fies-i. e., to influence men-solely
for her own amusement and satisfaction;
she must learn to take wider outlook and
use her ''limitless" powers for the benefit
and betterment of the world.

Manners of American Women.

Henry James, in Harpers Bazaar.
1t has never been without profit TO the in
dividual American, 1 think, to have taken in
put it before him, that in a difficult and
complicated world it is well to have had as
many things as possible Disseminated and
thought out and tried and tested for u.s.
we'll to remember that the art of meeting
life finely is, what the art of the dramatist
has been described as being. the art of
preparations. There is always a thrill for
us at home in the observed operation of our
law that any one may become among us, at
two minutes notice, anything possible or
impossible. even a gentleman, even a lady;
but the deeper impression attaches, none the
less, to the exhibited effects of being tu-
tored which correct usefully our too habit
ual, too national belief in the sweet sane
tity of free impulse. By which l am far
from limiting that every adventurous COM
patriot either comes back from the more
Iessoned and disciplined world charged with
its richer spoil or stays on it for pure love
of the same; that parsonage being often
unsurpassed, I fear, in the knack of faring
far to gather little--when not in that of eX-
and perverse chemistry, elements of which
he is apt to have already enough and to
spare.
The unmistakable thing is, at any rate.
that the conception of manners is at the
very best, among us, a struggle more or
less fierce.

Another favorte form of needlework at
present is that of crocheting infant
afghans. There Is a new wool employed
for this purpose which is embossed with
silk thread in such a way that when the
afghan is completed the design is made
more elaborate by an over-tracery of SILK
thread. The effect is just the same as
that produced by embroiderng the afghan
with silk stitching after it has been COM
pleted. Rainbow striped afghans are very
fashionable. Another fashionable design
is in solid stripes of blue and pink with
tiny pink rosebuds set at intervals on the
white strip. these rosebuds being cro-
cheted into the strip. Each strip Is cro-
cheted separately and all the strips are
then corded together. Another style OF
afghan is all done in shell design and in
solid color. The border is made with eye
lets through which lowered ribbon is run.

THE HAIR DRESSER HELPS.

TT AIR dressing still continues most
II elaborate and quantities OF artificial
- = hair are being worn by women who
follow the fashion and who needs must
arrange their locks in the puffs, curls and
muIttudinous braids now in vogue There
are very few women who possess sufficient
lair 10 supply the fashionable couture of
the moment with home grown tresses.
TO quiet the consciences of few old
fashioned women whose notions of pro-
prcty rather balk at the idea of wearing
some one elses hair the hairdressers have
resorted TO the scheme which was in vogue
many years ago OF making up artificial
waves Curls. &c, from the cOmbings of
each individual wearer. Those who resort
20 this measure can at least refute with
scorn the taunt that their hair never grew
ON their heads" 1t has at least done that
some time in the remote past.
That in fact, is its only advantage, for
the art Of dyeing hair has been SO per
fected that almost any shade may be as
well matched by the hair which is to be
found at the hairdressers as by the comb
inss.
In place of the separate Empire curls
for filling up the space at the back of the
hat hairdressers are now selling Josephine
curls. The same bunch OF crrls may be
used TO dress high coiffure when the hat

pear to rest on the shoulders, there is

to be in direct contrast to the embroidered
ones already described, showing that this
season there is such a variety of different
styles that all tastes can be satisfied. But
the bands of silk or satin have served SO
satisfactorily that whether they be plain
or embroidered they find favor. There has
been an attempt to use contrasting colors
to carry out this scheme, but the plan has
not worked well. and the same color, and
as rule the same shade, has been decreed
to be the smartest. Velvet bands on lace
or thin materials are fashionable this sea-
son, and a black lace or net gown made
up over a white or colored lining is i'm
mensely improved by the band Of black
velvet, preferably velvet ribbon, around the
foot. AS rule the satin finish is used on
cloth. and velvet on the transparent or
thinner fabrics, but there is no hard and
fixed rule that has to be followed. Velvet
on silk is extremely effective, but COM
bining two kinds of silk is smart and per-
haps more practical for summer. However,
the practical element does not play very
large part in the clothes question Of the
moment.

A pale mauve cloth in light weight Is
popular for gowns to be worn on cool
summer days, while an exquisite shade OF
coral pink and one in blue are most eff

again, for its satin-fnsh and luster make

graceful lines that are a feature of this

so becoming show off to the best possible
advantage any fine material and the colors
take light and shade that are most artls-
tic in the soft folds. These afternoon
gowns for the summer season are in truth
a delight to any one who loves clothes
for clothes sake. They are not the es-
sentials of the wardrobe but the Injuries
that enable a woman to attain her highest

that most pleases the wearer, any amount
of embroidery may be used, provided the
dress does not turn out to be unsuitably
handsome. The fine grades Of wolfe and
true nuns yelling are an excellent weight
for house gown for this season of the year.
Figured. striped, check and plain voiles are
all used, the fancy surface being more In
demand than the plain.
A deep yellow voile the waist made with
a little vest and jabot of lace, and
round collar of silk, with bands of the
same color taffeta forming revers and cuffs

silk laid about the skirt, which was other
wise full, but quite plain, made an at
tractive dress for informal wear. The
dark voiles made up over white and the
light shades laid on a silk of their own
color are all fashionable. If the dress is
required to be really useful, then a dark
green or a Japanese or navy blue made up
over white is, of course, more serviceable
than the light shades, which, however, are
excellent If the trousseau can be fairly
large. The striped voiles are exceedingly
pretty, and fine line of black and white
made up on a white silk foundation is
most attractive. A piping OF pale blue on
