My Dear Elsa-I'or the last two

dressmaking A '1ittle seamstress,"
as the French call the undercrust Of
the To. iere class as distinguished
from the great artists, has been here,
making under my supervision some
charming wash frocks. One is obliged
this summer to have so many CT these
dresses, for it is going to be a muslin
season, and is there anything more re-
freshing on broiling day than a tub
frock spick and span from the laun-
siress? And in most of these frocks
hes conscience is not troubled about
tie expense of doing them up, for the
average home belle of the tubs can
turn them out in fine form at short no.

are buttoned down the entire length
Of the front and open out in one solid
piece like sheet. You know the kind
of one piece frock mean that is so
smart in linen and in the heavier wash
goods. Several of my linen frocks
have two waists. for you know how
much longer skirt keeps clean than
waist, and for this reason have
made two, shirt waist for cool days

Ice on the Table.

A neatly cut block of ice on the din
ing table in glass or china bowl will
keep flies at distance and ON ii hot
day will make the diners feel cooler.
The rough edges can be rounded by
hot water or standing in the air. y
charming addition is to hollow out Il
trough i'm the ice and fill this with
water and put ferns or pond lilies or
flowers of some sort in it. The trough
can be made by very carefully chisel-
ing the ice with chisel and mallet or
by taking an old fiatiron, heating and
setting it ON the ice and melting out
a hole. This is longer and not as ex-
act, but easier for most women.
