charming tea gown is of silver
gray crepe de chine, made empire and
finished with yoke and sleeves Of
white Oriental lace, which is net en-
broidered in heavily raised dots. The
gown hangs straight and untrimmed
from bust to hem, where it has band
of silver braid
A tea gown of brown chiffon velvet
is made in rather skinny style, cut
in slightly at the waist line, while the
yoke and sleeves are of ecru net heav-
lily embroidered with gold thread. At
the foot of the gown is a band of the
same embroidered filet, only the
thread extends over the edge of the
net in places and makes pretty curve
on the velvet.
Ecru is always an attractive color
and so is champagne, and both com

brown. Blue is the hardest of all col

lighter or darker shade is always a
| safe combination.

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 it at once overcomes
the oft-expressed objection to dec

origin Of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention of the
elevator is made in letter of Ma
poleon /. addressed to his wife, Arch
duchess Maria Louise. He writes to
her that when in Schoenbrnn, then
the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
Achaise volante" (fying chair) in that
castle which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa. 1t consisted
of small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings of red silk
and suspended by strong ropes with
counter weights, so that it could be
pulled up or let down with great ease
IN a shaft built for the purpose
about 1850.

Something Original.

Extremely pretty and new was
little frock destined for a girl to wear
at one of the balls. Of fine white net,
it was mounted upon soft satin and
trimmed with many deep bands of
what looked at first like braiding, but
which proved to be closely-woven
design of narrow satin rouleaux, ar
ranged in geometrical pattern of the
maze" description, exactly like SOU
tache on cloth. The same idea has
been carried out in velvet or even
cloth, on materials stalwart enough to
stand the weight of it. A dear little
pale pink tulle frock was braided
thus with chenille.

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

The costumes for the summer will
not be complete if 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 lowered 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 it is of silk, so
many girls will also wear the "panta-
lons-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 ruffles of lace.
Some of the more elaborate slips
will be trimmed with Dresden ribbon
and fine lace, and many will have little
ruff1es running from knees to feet.

undersleeves in Color.

1t is said that Partisan style makers
are concealing their original designs
because Americans steal them, as If
style isn't anybody's property. Word
comes that the favorite sleeve in
Paris just now is finished by an un
dersleeve, not the sheer white under
sleeve with which women here have
long been familiar, but an undersleeve
of satin, velvet or silk, of relieving
color from the loose outer sleeve
They don't seem to be worn around
here as yet, but women should be OF
the lookout for them, as they may be
attractive.

Fashion Favors Coarse Laces.

All the old laces are at present fash
ionable in Paris, and it 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.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-04-01

both clean and fresh than it is to care
for only one piece at time. The rea-
son for the innovation was, of course,
the return of the empire gown, but the
princess slip of lace and nainsook is
a far more becoming gown to the fig
ure than is the combination.
Unless a woman really desires to be
gray long before her time, the con-
slant use oil tongs to make the hair
curl is not to be thought of, for the
heat from the irons cannot fail to dry
out the natural oil in the tresses, max
ing them crisp, broken and often gray.
Instead of waving the hair by this in
furious heat process substitute patent
wavers or liquid curling prepare
lions.
One of the loveliest gowns l have
seen for some time is a velvet in a
most exquisite soft shade of sake blue
with more than hint Of mauve in the
high lights, with introductions OF
heavy purple silk net almost hidden
beneath embroideries of blue, mauve
and purple, quite impossible to de-
scribe properly in mere words, and a
beautiful jabot of old Flanders point
held by a magnificent buckle of anne
thyst paste.
Bangs are coming back to fashion,
but that does not mean that young
women need cut their front hair short
and do it up in crimps at night, neither
smear it with the sticky ounce seed
and dandoline lotions of ancient bang
days. The new bang is a soft, fluffy
row of what are called pincurls rest
ing on the forehead, just below the
pompadour; and they are called pin
curls presumably because a good many
of them are attached to hairpin ar
rangement and tucked in after the
pompadour is finished. That is to say
they have no more connection with the
wearer's head than they have with the
braids and puffs and curls that dec
crate the top of it. This little row OF
curly mang across the forehead is to
be considered more and more au fat
as the days go by.
