White Materials.
White dresses are always charming. and
this year the shops are showing lovely
array of white materials. Among these
are the figured swisses and barred dimi-
ties, lawns and batistes. as we'll as the
organizes and mulls. Dimity is one of
the daintiest and most useful materials,
and each season gains in popularity.
White linen for tailored effects also
promises to increase in popularity over
last season. In fact. some of the latest
fashion notes claim that white will take
the place Of the blues. browns. pinks and
violets that were very much the vogue for
tailored linen suits last season.

A Net Waist.
A net waist was seen the other day that
could be easily copied by any girl who
can embroider at all.
It was made of ecru net in groups Of
half-inch lengthwise tucks. Between
each group were stripes of the plain net
covered with hand-embroidered coin dots
in color. These dots were set about a
half inch apart and were made of mer-
cerized cotton that with care could easily
be Numbered. Two strips of the dots
were used in the back and four in the
front. Starting at the neck. a strip ran
the length Of the shoulder and to the con-
tinued bottom Of the sleeve. Horizontal
bands of embroidered net were used on
the collar and cuffs
This idea could be applied to any ar
rangement of tucking. and the dots could
be of any desired color. A pretty COM
bination would be of ecru cotton net with
the dots in a warm brown or In one of
the vivid greens that are so fashionable

Last Years Styles Revived.

ried over into this. II is a case OF the
survival OF the pretsiest. and the shoulder
capes are among the most popular OF the
carried over modes. To be sure. the
best dressmakers will tell you that the
mandarin effect is not fashionable. Yet

and much embroidery.
Two Summer Dresses.
Two charming dresses are made OF lawn
or batiste. Both are suitable for after
noon wear and both extremely becoming
to the figure. being trimmed in q way
that accentuates every good line and
hides those that are not so pretty.
The dress for a girl from thirteen to
seventeen years old IL made with
gu.mpe and In the pattern is trimmed with
lace. although that IL not necessary. and
a palmer dress would be quite as attrac-
tive. The sleeves are very pretty. and
the underblouse could well be OF dotted
swiss or OF aIl-over valenciennes.
The dress for an older woman 10 that
with a princess front and a belt extend
ing part way around the waist. II 10
made with three box plaits. which are
very becoming and which give to the
figure the very best possible lines. The
| sleeves are the very latest fashion. while
the neck Is v shaped. which Is always 30
becoming. The underblouse might be OF
any material. while the dress. II untrim-
med will be fascinating II made OF some
| attractive Bingham or linen. The dress
| is easy to make up. for the sleeves are cut
with the waist. while the skirt 10 made
without fullness and rather on circular
| lines, save on the front, where the three
box plaits extend across the waist line.

band This prevents rolling up the
sleeves and the consequent slatternly
look Short sleeves are trim and neat al
ways, and soil much less quickly than
long ones
The disadvantage OF separate waists
and skirts for maids is that only wom-
en- who are particular will always firmly
join the two together when putting them
on. and without care there will be a
yawning discrepancy: If the two are
stitched down on a belt this risk is saved.
Saving the White Apron.
While doing kitchen work, washing OF
sweeping, colored Bingham aprons that
hang from the bust to the bottom OF the
skirt are protection. 1t is not q bad
idea to have a white one beneath. SO that
if maid is required to open the door,
oreds cover to be in readiness. When in
the dining room or doing any chamber
work white apron must be worn, col
ored variety being quite unsuitable.
Such dressing as this is not expensive
and is entirely proper until after the
luncheon dishes have been washed and
put away. After THAT the work should be
so arranged that maid can go to her
room and put on black dress, for a
frock of this description is imperative for
afternoons. This costume may be made
in the style of the morning dresses. but
sateen will be found the most satisfac-
tory material. 1t washes well and when
ironed looks more like wooden stun than
cotton.
Aprons for Afternoons.
The dress sleeves must be long and
when economy is not important 1t Is
effective to have deep plain linen cuffs
These. however. are to be regarded as a
luxury.
Aprons should have bibs and long
strings going over the shoulders where
they cross and pin at the belt in the back.
Big bows for the belt strings are prettier
than short ends. For wear with this gar
ment a tiny cap is best.
Every housekeeper should be willing to
supply as many frocks. aprons and caps
as are necessary to keep her maid clean.
AS a rule. servants are not unduly care
less in soiling dresses. 1t must be re-
membered that much Of the work they do
is dirty and they cannot help accumu-
lating soil.
