Summer Bloomers

-HE flannel petticoat has had a
long run and a strong run, but
Il it Is fading away as a regular
part of the wardrobe of the well-dressed
woman. She wants no more bulk un-
derneath than is absolutely demanded
for comfort and very meager warmth.
Although the average well-dressed
woman of today will argue to the death
that absolute freedom from cold is as
sured by the sheerest of blouses worn
over the daintiest Of lingerie and the
eauziest of undervests. the fact remains
that there are many women who re-
;uire for their health's sake the flannel
.ticoat, even in midsummer.
4 is approaching the unfair to rec
,.iainend, in this day Of the much-fitted
frock, anything that interferes with
progress. The bloomer never wraps.
and is q valuable possession to the
rheumatic woman.
It is fit subject for congratulation to
have found a garment that neither In
creases hip measurements nor impedes
what progress is permitted. To sum 1t
up, the summer boomers are made OF
white Shanghai silk or pongee, and this
to the woman who takes cold easily
they are fastened to a very deep and
closely fitted yoke Of white Ceyion nam
mel. This flannel is almost as soft as
silk and has proved itself as nearly
non-shrinkable as flannel could be. The
garment possesses all of the virtues OF
the flannel skirt and none of its de-
fects, besides being far removed from
the hOmely in appearance.

Nine yards Of 12h-cent silkaline sewn
into a nine-foot square and hemmed
round the edge is a most comforting
gift for the boarding school girl and the
perpetual visitor. but don't give 1t to the
stay-at-home.
The thrifty housewife who loves her
linen closet and who carefully counts
her sheets will not want to part with
one as q mere trunk lining. and you
will be as loath to line the trunk with
newspaper. The wrapping paper supply.
too. will probably fail you just when it
is most necessary. Silkaline has the adj
vantage Of taking UP the least possible
room. You will want the folder as
protection to your delicate possessions.
and it will prove Invaluable if your
clothes do not entirely fill the trunk.
BY laying 1t diagonally in the bottom
of your trunk, packing all OF your
things on its cleanly surface. tapping
the bias corners tightly over the top and
pinning or even tying them together.
the contents will be saved from undue
shaking up.
The trunk folder Is sometimes made In
five sections--the shape OF a cross. with
q bottom piece to fit the. trunk and
with four extensions to line it's sides and
ends and then to extend up over the
contents. This will not. however, prove.
in the long run, SO satisfactory as the
sheet-shaped folder. because the corners
will bulge open and allow dust to assail
the contents OF the trunk.

A White Bedroom

n FIER all is said and done, the all
~ ln-White bedroom is a joy forever.
IL Is not entirely practical lie the
room is of that convertible type used as
sitting room and sleeping apartment
alternately; but when the dear little
bedroom is used to sleep In only. or.
perchance. as dressing room, too,
there is no more perfect scheme than
white furnishings.
Cottage furniture has returned. and a
white enameled bed viii look well with
a bureau and washstand that have been
retouched with wood enamel in white.
Even the washstand china may be an

usually shapely design. The woodwork

Curtaining and wallpaper will present
no difficulty, since the wallpaperer can
now supply both plain and glossy white
papers. and the qualities of swiss for
less. That paper having a satiny sur
face or an invisible pattern will prove
less monotonous, and the drapery Of
the dressing bureau should match the
Now. the introduction into this color
less scheme of the occasional picture
or the bit of delicate pottery or metal
ware will break what may prove monot-
ony; but an excess of characterization is
to be decried. since the main object and
purpose of this purity in coloring is the
accomplishment of an entirely sanitary
room.
Yes. it may need repapering and re-
enameling sooner than a darker color.
which is to be anticipated, for our white
bedroom is not intended to only look
clean, but to be clean.
The daintiest little woman the writer
ever has known stepped out Of just
such room every morning into what
she chose to consider a sunshiny world.
and the room seemed to have something
TO do with her outlook.

see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-

that they cannot slip during the
operation.

An Exquisite Style

~HE right key was touched by the
observant woman who wrote
u from Paris, in reference to the
chiffon mantle, that it belonged on the
bridesmaids gown. The fashion of the
flowing chiffon mantle. adorned with
fur, embroidered upon its filIny surface
or made iridescent by doubling its ma
terial, cannot by any stretch of the i'm
agination become popular. 1t belongs
with the plumed picture hat and is
part Of one Of the most picturesque
revivals Of a bygone type. The cape
is heavy with fur: 1t is extravasant
and belongs undoubtedly to the foreign
court Of other days. It Is distinctly I'M
suited to American practical people,
and if we adopt 1t we Will have mis-
takenly taken up an ultra style not
adaptable to anything other than the
extraordinary event. the magnificent
occasion.
AS a picturesque garb for the brides
maid there could be nothing more eX-
quisite and, indeed, more readily made
-as such things go. The cape would
afford ample opportunity for introduce
ing the color touch on these bridal
gowns, and to those who have mastered
the making of chiffon and kindred ma
terials 1t is possible at home.

These hoops can also be used for
the tops of darning bags. laundry
holders and waste bags. When they
run through the hem at the top they
afford firm support for the hanging
weight.
Individual towel holders are at
tractive in this form. An oval ring
can be painted and enameled in white
or the color of the bathroom. A small
monogram can be marked upon each
ring to insure sanitary precaution.

THERE are two ways to apply
this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point Of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
