New Sofa Cushion.

An innovation in typography has
just been introduced which adds much
TO the beauty Of the work. Suede or
leather is burnt and cut into designs
and colored satin or tapestry is fas-
tened to the back. This gives a
brighter look to the whole work and
relieves the solid-leather effect.
A beautiful soft cushion is made
in brown suede, burnt in some flower
design. A large diamond is cut from
the center of the leather and a null
colored tapestry is fastened to the
back. so that the colors are set In the
dark leather like jewel.
This idea is carried out in leather
boxes and picture frames, in these
bright-green and red satin being used.
The result of the combination is rare
ly beautiful and 1t at once overcomes
the oft-expressed objection to dec

The Bordered Gown.

An original white frock of the
youthful simplicity" order struck a
new note the other day, being worn
by a golden.haired girl in slight
mourning. Ut was soft filminess OF
very fine white net resembling tulle,
and both the upper skirt (short to the
knees in front and apparently caught
up at the back of the waist to fall In
irregular edged box plaits) and the
lower one was bordered with deep
hem Of black velvet, above which was
embroidered in jet running design
of round garlands and ribbons, looping
over and under band OF silver us
sue laid beneath the net.
This idea could be varied and car
ried out in all sorts Of colors, or In
one or two shades combined with
white or ivory gown, or all In one pale
hue.
The difference in material Is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon or
crepe de chine, for instance.

Waists of Wash TuIIe,

A distinct novelty for the south, and
which will create kind OF revolution
in the shirt-waist line, is a tailored
waist of white washable tulle, made
very severely and designed to take the
place of the white linen shirt-waist.
II is lined only as high as an ordinary
corset cover would come, has long
tucked sleeves. and fastens down the
front with six pearl studs. This tulle
is said not only to launder beautifully,
put to wear well.

SLIPS FOR SUMMER GOWNS.
Are Built on the Princess Lines Popu-
lar Last Year.

The costumes for the summer will
not be complete II worn without slips
built on the princess lines of last year.
This does not necessitate heavy,
elaborate undergowns of silk and
satin. Ordinary figured dimities and
lawn may be used with charming COM
binations, and trimmed with lace and
all-over embroidery.
Some of them are made on the plan
of circular corset covers and circular
petticoats, Joined at the waist with a
line of beading. They must all be
made simple, so that washing is easy,
and really they will be no more ex-
pensive than the usual lingerie for
summer wear
Every girl will need three of plain
white and two of Powered lawn or
dimity, or else five of plain white.
Some girls will have them all in white,
but trimmed with bands of the flow
cred materials.
OF course, the slip would not be
quite enough as a foundation for a
sheer dress unless II Is Of silk, SO
many girls will also wear the "panta'
ons-jupons" so popular in Paris at the
present time. These latter may be
made of material to match the slip and
very full, with deep rufiies Of lace.
Some of the more elaborate slips
will be trimmed with Dresden ribbon
and fine lace, and many will have little
ruffies running from knees to feet.

Fashion Favors Coarse Laees.

All the old laces are at present fash
ionable in Paris, and 1t is the coarse
mesh that is most sought. We see
handsome blouses of nothing save
Cluny lace sewed together, and even
when the finer meshes are employed
big medallions and anemones are put
on, so that the coarse lace is always
in evidence. Even for lingerie the
coarsest of meshes and threads are
sought. Material for such purposes
cannot be too beautiful, and the dain.
test and sheerest of batiste is used;
but with the laces-that is another
matter.
