Fancy Forms of BretelIes Much Used
as characterization.

Sashes and sleeves are important
details Of spring and summer toilettes,

ricty.
Only in ultra-dressy gowns will one
find the sash arranged with any show
Of elaboration. but it is largely EN-.

AS far as sleeves are concerned, the
Japanese armhole and various adapta-
tons is yet much in evidence. though
there is no question that some of the
leading dressmaking establishments
are inaugurating movement from
Japanese effects.
Terminating in long fringed ends.
bretelles have taken on all sorts of
fancy forms and are used to garnish
both day and night frocks These
combined sashes and scarfs are gen.
orally made in nlousseline de sole,
sauze or tilet net richly embroidered
in colored beads, pearls or gold and
silver thread embroidery. They are
very effectively worn at the side or
back OF some chiffon, batiste or mus
lin toilette de diner. The echarpe of
satin, souple fringed with knotted
strands OF silk, combines an effec-
tive adornment for Il plain prin-
cess robe.

Striped and tiny checks and plaid
ginghams in bright shades of blue and
pink make attractive dresses for tho
morning. and then all the plain col.
ored and striped linens are always at
tractfve when made very simple, the
white guimpe giving a youthful and
becoming finish.
For a party frock or for dancing
school. the most exciting of all parties
to the average youngster, white is al
ways the most attractive, but the
white dress may be relieved by a
bright colored sash and shoulder
bows. and a colored lawn or silk slip
worn occasionally under the white
frock will give an effect of variety and
make the little trousseau seem more
plentifully stocked. Powered organ.
dies and soft French mousselines are
extremely pretty for dancing frocks
and made up with ruffles and flounces
edged with lace and white lace yoke
and sleeves the little Powered gowns
are quite fascinating.
Pink is the favorite shade in ali
Powered dresses, as there are few
figured designs in which blue can be
introduced, and all the other shades
of yellow, rnauve. green. ETC., are not
sufficiently youthful. A faint shade
of yellow or delicate apple green is
sometimes seen for tiny girls, but is
noticeable generally only in the rib
bon trimmings, not in the material It,
self. With their exquisite skins and
bright, soft coloring, there are few
children to whom both pink and blue
are not equally becoming. so that
when lowered gown is selected pink
will surely be perfect, whereas If. the
gown is white and a bright colored rib
bon is desired, pink and blue are both
sure to make the little one look charm.

Wide sashes are being worn ever.
more, and among the new sashes
there are to be found many extremely
pretty designs. Wide double-faced
satin ribbons edged with silk fringe
of the same shade is effective in white,
as well as in the more noticeable
colors. Powered and Dresden rib.
bons are also used, and when bordered
with a deep silk fringe introducing
one of the most prominent shades in
the design, are most attractive. Broad,
many-colored Roman sashes are
charming with the dainty lingerie
frocks, especially when the hair rib
bon and shoulder bows are of the
same ribbon in a narrower width.

ing. The Russian blouses are still
worn by small girls and boys alike,
and this style of dress in a becoming
color, relieved only by bands of white
linen or embroidery and smart little
leather belt, is still favorite model.
Guimpe and suspender dresses are,
however, just as much in vogue, and
as soon as the girl graduates from the
Russian blouse Or suspender strap
dress is appropriate for any age, and
is even fashionable for the grown-up,
and OF course this is most sensible
style of costume for a little girl, as by
putting on fresh, guimpe each day
when the sleeves become mussed or
soiled the gown can be kept looking
clean and fresh for longer than is
otherwise possible.

skYscRAPERs OF ROME.
Ancient Regulations Regarding the
Height Of Tenements and Palaces.

ancient regulations Regarding the
Height Of Tenements and Palaces.
The skyscraper is no modern in
vention," says st. Louis architect,
well read in the history of his profess
sion. I'm all the ancient cities where
brick or stone was available high
houses within the walls of the city
were very numerous because of the
lack of ground space for building.
4 In the days of Augustus the tene.
fnent houses in Rome became so high
as to~be dangerous and laws were
passed condemning a number of ten.
ement rows and ordering them to be
taken down, while at the same time
Q law was enacted limiting the height
Of all future tenements to 100 feet.
For. palaces and public buildings
there was no limit.
After the burning of the city in
Nero's time the streets, which before
were no wider than our alleys, were
made broader; some of them, through
the business part of the city, were
sorty feet wide. and some of the great
ehoroughfares were sixty.
The tenement height was lowered
20 eighty feet, and as a consequence
The city spread far beyond its walls.
The average height of ceiling in a
Roman tenement was a little over
We feet; the windows were open
holes in the wall. stopped In cold
weather with board shutters. So the
worst modern tenement is palace
compared with the skyscraper home
of the poor when the empire was at
its best.

THEY GROW.
Good Humor and cheerfuIness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dis.
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off a load that the man
with crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interteres with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in bad condition.
But was young and did not want
to die so began to look about for the
cause of my chronic trouble. used
to have nervous spells which would
exhaust me and after each spell it
would take me days before l could sit
up In chair.
Il became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. l decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
The first cup, which Imade &C.
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and I likelk the
taste. For q time I nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides.
