Matters OF Interest to Women
PONGEE, ALL COLORS
One Piece Frock of Blue
With Soutache Braid
and Buttons.

Some Of the prettiest things shown
this season are built UP IN ponsee,
chiefly Of the French tussor varieties,
though an good weaves Of the silk
seem popular ana great quantities Of
handsome hand loom pongee have been
woven In china and sent TO France
for dyeng and printing. There Is no
other one-tone summer SILK which takes
with such delicious softness the diff
heult shades Of modlsh colors and the
range Of tones In the new pongee Is
wonderful, The natural color shading
down into biscuit and light browns IS
especially liked and will undoubtedly be
much worn, but there are innumerable
subtle blues and rose and berry hues
and some beautiful soft greens and
grays

Another chic little coat and skirt suit
in pongee was of soft, dull blue and
rather severely tailored. but was trim
med in buttons of natural pongee color
trimmed in the blue silk and had coll
lar and cuffs Of the natural-tone silk
A one-plece frock of pongee was Of
this same lovely blue, with soutache
braiding and silk covered buttons I'm
dersleeves and guimpe were of cream
lace and there was a little cravat Of
black liberty
There Is no probability that the So
called jumper frock with its count
less notifications, will fall from grace
this season and the designers are
bringing Il out with infinite variety Of
detail to offset It's somewhat circum-
scribed character Silks, linens and
light weight woods are all pressed into
service for these useful little frocks ana
the black and white striped woods so
numerous among the lightweight suit
ings are used with delightful effect for
such models, though their popularity
threatens to make them common early
In the season With touches Of cerise,
Copenhagen blue, onion brown, which
is called by host Of different names
but to which we give the old name for
the sake of conveying an impression to
those familiar with the color under the
)old name, or other fashionable coors,
these new models are eminently attrac-
tive and practical for early spring days
or cool summer days and similar eff
white striped linens.

A number Of remarkably effective
coat and skirt Of three-piece models in
pongee have been shown by various i'm
porters, and the best Of these have
ben Of somewhat severe design, with
soutache braiding done by hand In self
color and either sllk-covered buttons
lavishly applied or handsome passes
menterle ornaments and brandenburgs
made of braid. one such costume had
a seml-princes bodice and skirt of
jumper character but with sleeves
chiefly of the silk and shallow guimpe
of embroidered batlste and valenci-
ennes. The color was the natural
brownIsh ecru OF the silk, and fine
soutache OF the same color was APP
piled down the front OF the frock,
around the armholes and in motifs set
at considerable intervals around the
bottom Of the gored skirt. A cutaway
coat with braided pockets, armholes,
cuffs and collar was fastened with
three big brandenburg ornaments of
the braid, and scarf Of black liberty
embroidered in gold showed in a fold
along the inside Of the coat collar and
fell in two tabs to the waist line sug-
costing a waistcoat.

The bordered pongees, which are
among the smartest OF the bordered
materials, show chiefly stripe border
designs. but excellent color schemes are
obtained in these striped effects. Fine
pongee embroidered In self-tone or with
woven broche figure in self-tone are

the greatest part in the new modes and
the braidIngs in self-color or embroid-

Dipping the tips of your fingers
nightly in warm oil is by far the best
means of keeping the nails in good
condition. The oil effectually prevents
them from becoming brittle and by en-
abling the skin all round to be kept
within its own limits, prevents X at
the base from hiding the half moon,
which should be well defined, whatever

row rim Of hard skin round the nail Is
allowed to break 1t is by no means

It Is to draw the split ends of a selvage

the best instrument to use in pushing
down the skin around the nails, while
to restore the tone after the oil bath
