Imply and vet are sufficiently substantial
to stand the wear and tear to which the

present evening frock is the beauty and
grace of the sleeve, which Danish any

turned out some fascinating models dis

perry taking a graceful line at the back.
The neck was cut square and very decol-

beautiful cream guipure over flesh-coored
tulle. The entire sleeves were composed
of an intricate mass of drapery shot with
blue, pink and silver tulle and chiffon. A

cheap satin is worthless afterward. Taf-
feta will crack and the fine silks, such
as messaline, are equally unsatisfactory.
The heavier silks. like bengalne, are a
little more successful, but professionals,
as a rule, do not care to handle silks.
On the contrary. the fine cotton goods.
such batiste null and swiss, dye ex-
tremely well. which is fortunate. for
frocks of this description are worn in
a hot sun, and so, of course, quickly
fade
They can. however. be restored to their
original shade by dyeing. or be made
another color. provided it is deeper than
the original one.
SO can velvet but the latter will come
out in a slightly panne effect.
Silk and wool mixtures. such as lans-
downe henrietta. eolienne and poplin,
take dyes splendidly.
The most uncertain of all articles, when
it comes to dyeing, are feathers.
A good black is the most difficult tone
to achieve. Feathers do not always take
the desired shade unless the feather is
originally white; then the difficulty is
much leSSened.
In my opinion feathers should never
be attempted at home. and a house hand
ling feathers exclusively is better than
a general dyeing house. I speak from per-
sonal experience. although no doubt eX-
perts on feather dyeing are employed by
all the good houses that undertake col
oring.
Lace may be cleaned satisfactorily and
will dye equally well. OF course. white
will take any color preferred. as we'll as
black. Dark colored laces do not as a
rule, take a good black. but may be re-
stored to their original tone and will look
like new.
Very good ribbons will dye. but it is
a waste Of time or money, as the case
mag be, to attempt the cheaper grades.

DYES FOR coLoRED FRocKs.
Light Shades Take Darker Tones;
Some Designs Color Prettily.

Amateur 6yerS are often puzzled to
know just what coors will take certain
shades, and though fairly successful in
dyeing, are apt to make mistakes. so
that l feel a little information may be
advantageous.
In the first place. not all fabrics that
need cleaning or dyeipg can be success
fully attempted at home. Indeed. there
are certain materials and colors that pro-
fessionals accept only at the customers
risk, so that an amateur should not feel
discouraged, supposing first attempt
is a failure. Possibly the result would
have been the same had it been under
taken by professional.
All wooden goods dye better than any
other materials: serge and broadcloth
will dye any preferred color that is dark
er in shade than the original tone and
of course, will take black.
Red will dye a deeper red; also brown.
purple and green and black. Brown will
take navy blue. "a deep red and choco-
late brown. Green may be dyed deeper
green, very dark red, very dark brown
and black.
Violet will take deep purple and black.
Goods with a plain surface will dye
most successfully. Where there is a
pattern, as plaid or stripe, whether the
design has been in contrasting color
or not. the figured effect will show after
being dyed.
Surprising the design has been in the
weave only, then the goods will be as
pretty as be fore.
When fabrics are of two or more col
ors the result will be mottled or blurred
effect. according as the different tints
have responded to the dye of one shade
These goods as rule show that they
have passed through the dyeing process
srhe mixed cotton and wool fabrics pro-
claim this fact more loudly still. and it
does not pay to send such mate rails to
be dyed. If one can manage this at
home the cost will be but trifle, and
probably the result will be quite as sat
isfactory as though done by profess
sional.
Another important point to be remem-
bered is that all stains must be removed
before the dyeing is started otherwise
hole Is likely to be the result. as the dye
eats into the stain. l fancy this is the
reason lie directions on home dyes al
ways advise the garment being thoroughly
washed before coloring.
Silk does not dye satisfactorily. Crepe
de chine, however, takes color spen-
didly.

Vogue Of Soutache.

In the fashionable trimmings of the
year can be mentioned soutache. which
has sprung to the very fore as trim
ming. Many are the dresses that are
trimmed with it, and not a few OF the
gowns are so heavily braided with SOU
tache that they fairly stand alone. A
world of work is spent upon these dresses.
and they certainly repay the worker in
the matter of prettiness. for soutache has
certain delicate beauty of its own. And
another fashionable trimming is Persian
trimming, which comes in many widths
and is used upon the incest of winter
gowns. 1t is soft in its tones. and it has
the merit of matching or harmonizing
with nearly everything. There are few
gowns that are not made prettier by the
addition of a little touch of Persian. 1t
is unfortunately never q cheap trimming,
but it wears well and holds its colors
perfectly.

New Hair Ornaments,

The accessories of wardrobes form as
important a part of dressing as the ne
cessities, and are shown in many differ
ent forms.
Hair ornaments this season are essen
tial to complete an evening costume. and
as a rule are graceful and pretty. Some
are low and circular, as a small bow
knot that heads two white wings, one
at either side of the head. most popu-
lar style is a spray of osprey feathers
fastened to the coiffeur by a knot of rib
bon.
Either white, or a color to match the
gown may be worn.
AS to the necessities, some of them are
SO pretty that they seem almost like
ornaments. this waist OF rose-colored
lansdowne, trimmed with soutache braid,
for instance.
It is jumper with square shoulder
cape over draped elbow sleeve, with
lace and velvet cuff.
Portions of the front are finely tucked.
and the braid is laid fiat on the side, to
produce an effective shading.

HOW TO STEAM THE FACE.
Moist Heat Cleanses the Skin by In
ducing PRESENTATION.

Face steaming is an aid to beauty that
may be sadly abused. Done toe often il
causes the pores to distend and the skin
to become fiabby. Twice a week is quite
enough. and unless the complexion is in
really bad condition once in seven days
will be the best interval
The benefit of this process of cleansing
is in opening the pores and inducing per-
spiration that causes them to eject i'm
purities that would not otherwise Ne

this treatment consists in failure to close

Professionals have special apparatus
for steaming, but the price puts it beyond
the average woman's income. An excel
lent substitute is chafing dish or any
vessel with a large surface that may be

ercised in using any of these that the
fame does not cause a conflagration.
If for any reason one does not wish to
try this method hot cloths will be a
splendid substitute. OF these there should

Set of Chinchilla and Filet Lace.

Exquisite filet lace and chinchilla are
combined in the development of a most
sumptuous set of hat, muff and shoulder
scarf. The lace is embroidered in heavy
silk floss and forms a border around the
shoulder cape above a hem of fur.
The muff is an indescribable mass OF
the two materials and the hat is in a large
turban shape, covered with the fur and
trimmed with a chou of lace holding a
