Some Evening Dresses

Even now, in high summer. black
dresses are much worn in the evening
At a recent dinner 1 saw several Of
these confections. One appeared in
black net over white silk and the we'll
cut skirt had long lines of Jet en-
broidery. The bodice seemed a veri-
table work Of art. Round the low-cut
neck and on the sleeves was a trim
ming Of many-colored ribbon embroid-
cry: in front came a small point. but
a sash Of soft black silk was drawn
high at the back in Empire fashion
Then another gown. in black velvet.
showed a most perfect simplicity. This
also had a pointed bodice. and the
sleeves were short. with a full pun
near the shoulders. No lace appeared,
but the bodice and sleeves had touches
of fine Jet, and long fringes OF jet fell
onto the skirt from the back OF the
bodice. This dress. although costly.
would do good service to an economical
dresser. Then a cOvetable frock in
Parma mauve chiffon had a finely
pleated skirt and a bodice wreathed
with wistaria blossoms. A cream lace
gown was trimmed with cream net,
applique with tiny silk roses in pink.
red, and yellow, and with green silk
leaves and tendrilS. But the frock that
charmed me most was In dahlia-red
silk, adorned with creamy lace. and
with narrow lines of dull gold and
duller silver. This gown could be worn
with success at summer bridge dinners

TrfleS and Fr1lls for
Summer IoIIefteS

Models for summer blouses of sheer
silks and soft satins are very pretty
when pinafored over chemisettes OF en-
broidery. Iace-trimmed linon, etc. Some
of the leading couturieres have this
season devised their most successful
jumper and bolero effects in these fab
RIGS TO be worn over becoming blouses Of
lace.
The innumerabIe fashionable trifes for
the neck-the lace and muslin cravats,
jabots. plastrons. collars. and so on-are
important aids In building up toilettes
representative OF the last word of fash
ion. Fascinating among the simpler ar
ticles are the scarves Of embroidered
muslin, which are sometimes used for
fichus. and again they are wound
around the neck in loose effects. with
the ends confined at the belt and al
lowed TO meander down the skirt These
sheer fabrics may be trifes. but they are
unlimited in their variety and un-
limited also they may prove in the mat
ter OF cost.
Going back to pinafore effects. or
rather the mention OF them, although
they are employed by the couturieres
who essay simple effects, no end of COM
plicatious can be added to them in the
way Of embroideries and Iaces. A pref
~ little silk with very fine stripes run
ming through 70 has the front cut back
and front in shape. then filled in with
yoke and high stock of real lace. the
stock being well-boRed TO reach almost
20 the ears. The boning is very supple
and the lace very thin, so that the mode
is not at all uncomfortable. There are
puffs Of silk net. heavily trimmed with
lace for the sleeves OF this dainty silk
blouse. and the armholes OF the bodice
are folded over them snugly, but free.
The armholes. as well as the front, back
and girdle. are all embroidered by hand
with heavy silk floss, which makes the
| designs of the embroidery stand out
very boldly upon the surface of the silk
II is a feat impossible TO single out
one particular fabric from so many that
are beautiful and place II on the pedes-
| tai Of honor as the most becoming Of all
| to the person, but undoubtedly nothing
excels silk null in its identifying power.

How Short Angles in Rooms
May Be Neatfp Concealed

SonL9 or the most artistic effects to be
had in furnishing. or reorranging
house. are gained by only few Things
and those not necessarily new. ENpen-
siveness IS by no means always part,
for the chief requisite is careful study
OF the place to be decorated and care
full study of those articles that viii
best At angles or curves.
There is no better way of treating the
corner left in square halls by the sharp
turn OF the stairs than to put there a
table. This piece of furniture should
be a good one. for the spot is conspic-
uous. and TO give 1t a real reason for
being there let lamp be placed on the
top. This will furnish light for the hall
during the evening; the lamp is orna-
mental in itself, and a small card re-
ceiver by 1t makes the table further
useful. Flowers. of course. are always
good. and bit of copper or brass Is
excellent for a hall. This simple treat
ment of the table entirely conceals the
angle of the stairs and makes a charm
ing effect.
Small tables and lamps can really ac-
complish much In any part of room.
One at the head of sofa, for instance,
is not only useful but suggests comfort
in reading.

landlord who is willing to improve the

same wood, and continued around each

brick fireplace. 1t is the making OF
the whole simple living room. A clever
home carpenter could do the work him
self.
A raftered ceiling, always nice for
such a room. is to be had by many
housekeepers who have supposed IL a
luxury, but here again a pot of stain
is an assistance. The floor above.

tailed boards, supported by soft pine

HINTS ON HOW TO MAKE THE HOrlE ATTRACTIVE
Fashion Hints

Chaotic might best describe the pres
ent seasons fashions. Every style. cell
or and material seems to be in vogue.
Though this is somewhat confusing. Il
is also cOnsoling. as it removes the
necessity of wearing unbecoming hats
or costumes just because they are the
style.
Among the prettiest of summer frocks
are the dressy batistes. in delicate tints
of blue. pink, lavender and ecru, an
broidered in eyelets of the same shade.
II is a fad OF the moment 20 use a

instead OF embroidery. on cuffs. col
lars, ends of stoles. belts, and pocket
flaps.
The walking skirt is usually cut in
seven, nine. or fifteen cores and then
side pleated The nine-gore model is
the most popular and satisfactory.
Bias bands or folds of the material
are much seen on the pleated walking
skirts, two and even three being used.
Sashes are more popular than for some
seasons past. Dresden, MORE. and bro
caded satin ribbons make the hand
soonest. From five TO six yards are
needed for those with long ends and
several loops.

out with some powerful solvent that will
liquefy. combine with. or alter the
grease and at the same time destroy all
vegetable or animal particles that cling
to the inner surface Of the pipe.

least once a week in the summer and
not less frequently than once a month in

cleansing agent for wooden or iron
drains IS a strong solution OF potash or

water.
