bingham Frock Has No Place in Life
Of The Women of Sunny Old France

It is strange that, Of all materials
the Partisan woman uses for her
gowns, she seldom, almost never,
wears, gingham. This may be ex-
plained in several ways, yet il remains
curious and interesting.
In the first place, most ginghams
are made in Scotland and in this coun-
try. France makes many cotton ma
terials from the cotton we send her
but these materials are sheer and of
solid color. Among them are soft
finished cambric and batiste. Not one
is mixture or weave that even re-
motely suggests gingham. Linen flax,
too, she imports and weaves into her
own softest qualities. But it is upon
the silSworm and silk that France ex-
pends her genius. In silken materials
she is the leader, and Paris has first
pick.
For this reason. then, it may be that
the Partisan woman chooses to wear
plain frocks Of foulard or batiste in
the morning linen and lingerie gowns
in the afternoon and satin and laces
in the evening
IL is not altogether a question of
manufacture. Perhaps it is because
the French woman's days are spent
differently from the Americans. 1t is
true that the best-dressed women
never enter either omnibus or train
A fiacre is always to be found, and
the price is low so If she has no
equipage of her own she hires one of
these tiny victorias. In this she drives
during the morning to the shops and
to her couturier. corsetiere, and
modiste. She also drives if she in
tends to spend a morning with a
friend, either gossiping or playing la
bridge. When she returns to dejeuner.
if she does return, she is likely, if
without guests, to slip into some dainty
peignoir and have luncheon served in
her boudoir.
This over. she viii leisurely dress to
drive to the Bois for 8 o'clock tea. and
then she put on the lingerie or linen
gown. For dinner she will dress to
dine with a friend; she will wear some
comfortable gown to dine at home. OF
she will keep on her lingerie gown to
dine at some public place.
In Paris there are no roof gardens
but many open-air restaurants-ideal
places for the Willing away of a sum-
mer evening Madame will not care
to dress too well to dine al fresco, yet
she will be. as always. chic. You see
the Partisan day excludes the gingham
frock. whereas it suits particularly a
practical people who work, and walk
when the cars are blocked. This may
explain why American women wear
them so persistenly.

Silver Articles are Very Easily Cleaned
A woman whose silver is the admiration
and envy of her friends keeps it free from
every trace of dullnesss by a method that
viii be new to many. She first polishes
the various articles thoroughly with hart
shorn and whiting, and then, placing
them in a boiler, covers them with water
to which a handful of washing soda has
been added. They are allowed to boil in
the water from two to three hours, and
when they are taken out are well rubbed
with soft chamois leather In tho case
Of handmade plate with repousse of en-
bossed designs in high relief, this Is said
to be the only way of getting the depos-
its Of cleaning powder out of the crevices.
Once month or once in six weeks is the
time limit for this silver boiling. and mean
while, little more than rubbing will be re-
quired to bring the articles up to the prop
or brilllancy.

Cut Glass Should be Used and Not Kept


IL is not usual for new patterns IN
cut glass To come in very plentifully'
but the designers and manufacturers
have united I'm "a recent effort and we
are shown three beautiful flowers in
the newest glass dishes for our dining
tables. We have the daisy. with but
terhy lowering above it in a most
graceful and perfect design, made in
various shaped vessels, both tail and
nat.
Then we have the Scotch thistle
which is unique in cut glass, and the
clover leaf and blossom so perfect in
the cutting that we wonder there is
not more persistent effort to re-
produce every available flower.
Another and greater wonder is that
so many housewives are given to shell
tering all Of these beautiful dishes
perchance from the careless hands of
servants-untn the 'mere possession
of them has got to be a mania. 1t is
really better to get the good out OF
things than to drift gradually into
what is known as "a slave to your
own possessions"
Cut glass should be cleansed in SOAP
suds and then polished with sawdust
and chamois skin.

Sweet Potato Vine Fails to Do lis put,

Sweet Potato Vine Fails to Do Its Duty
Sweet potatoes are rapidly getting
beyond the reach of the consumer. At
the opening of the season indications
were that the supply would be faily
good with prices fixed according.
Tho supply is shorter than
in years at this timo however. and the
price is soaring. with the prospect OF
going higher. There is very little in
dication Of any immediate relief Ship
ments that have reached the market
have been Of good quality, and only
had the effect of increasing demand.
IT is a case of the early bird getting
the worm, for after a few hours of
early morning trading there are very
few sweet potatoes left.
Although it is very seldom any Gym
Inns are left over on the market un-
sold. no more demand exists for this
vegetable than last summer The rca-
son for every days supply being clean
ed up is TO be found in the fact that
the seasons output is only about hall
of what II was a year ago. BY this
il is figured out that the public's taste
for the vegetable must be decreasing
Certainly no fault can be found with
the vegetable itself, since it is oi
superior quality. Sometimes taste
goes by seasons, and this seems to ebs
an off season for the popularity of tn,

Fashions and Eads.


Glove-fitting bodices are predicted.
The bolero fashion is at hand again.
Children once more wear the pima
fores.
Orange is among the most popular
colors.
Low shoes are ornamentcd with big
buckles.
Shaded silk hosiery has something
of a vogue.
Much black velvet is being used in
millinery
The flower hat is now the rival of
the peachbasket
There is a fad for inset lace medal
lions on stockings
Braided and embroidered cotton
soutache buttons prevail.
Jet and bead fringes are much used
on the smarest gowns.
Muslin evening frocks are touched
with metallic trimming
New Paris hats are all large and
show divergent trimmings.
The Directore tunic if real lace is
new and exceedingly pretty
Lace monograms appear on some of
the most fashionable stockings
The Russian Cossack and the mill
tary effects bid fair to have strong
vogue in millinery.
Hats persist in their biggest shapes
and most Of the new models turn rak-
ishly at one side
The polonaise is a growing fashion
and it is promised that good many
will be seen this fall.
The foulard vogue is at its height
and i'm its class this graceful fabric
is absolutely unrivalled.
A subtle suggestion of color is con-
sdered more fashionable than the
more definite and vivid hues.
