REVIVAL OF BEADWORK
Beautiful New Designs in O1d-Fashioned Fancy Work

the pendant beads is secured BY having
the thread run through smaller bead,
then back through the larger bead.
The festoons should be made on a
separate thread run through the beads
beside the first thread, until the place
for the festoon to begin is reached then
these beads are threaded on it and it is
brought back to the main chain again.
Regulation snap-clasps of gold plate NAV
be purchased from the bead dealers and
finish the chain at the back, the string
ing threads being secured into a small
ring at each end of the clasp.
Flat Chain
There is another kind of chain that is
very much liked, and this is the fiat
chain that is made with fine needle and
thread and small beads. The design is
usually floral, daisies and forget-me7nots
being admirably suggested by the small
white or blue beads. These chains en-
circle the neck and may be made long
enough to serve as fan chain, small
snap-hook being secured to the chain by
which the fan may be attached.

out fiat to be certain it is correct The
most inexperienced worker may be GER
tain of a satisfactory result if she en-
ploys this method; an experienced
dressmaker will probably not find the
precaution necessary.
The girdle lining may be made of
stout lining material or of canvas; it
has one more seam at each side than
the skirt girdle. Basic these seams and
fit the lining first. When it fits per-
fectly stitch the seams and press them
open, and over the raw edges of each
seam, and at the center of the back at
the left-hand end, sew length of feath-
erbone, of the kind used for boning
waists
Cut each length the width of the
girdle, including the seams at the up
per and lower edges, then slip back the
bone-covering and trim three-eighths Of
an inch off the end of each bone, allow
ing the bone-coverng to remain to turn
over with the edge of the lining and
make neat finish The boning attach
ment is not used to apply these bones,
but they are hand-run to the canvas with
a row of. stitches in each edge of the
casing.
Put on the lining, the boning toward
the figure, and over it adjust the skirt
girdle. Be careful that the tracing
thread down the center-front of the
skirt hangs straight. If through any
inequality in the size of the hips it
draws toward one side, raise the side

A girdle lining is provided, and in
this the bones should be placed, the
lining serving to support the girdie
and preserve the shape. To secure the
best results, however, the lining should
be prepared separately and attached to
the girdle at the upper edge only and
after the skirt and girdle are stitched.
Skirt With Attached Girdle
In preparing the skirt the side cores
should be basted together. First prepare
the front gore and girdle by first basting
the seams at the sides of the girdle;
then turn under three-eighths of an
inch at the upper edge of the girdle
and along its lower edge, continuing
down each side of the front breadth.
For convenience in basting this turn
under on the curved line at the front,
haste close to the fold-edge then clip
the raw edges sufficiently deep to make
them lie fiat
The turning may be more easily and

rally from American customs, and it is
advisable to carry only such luggage as
may be easily placed by porters in the
railway carriage. A large portmanteau,
or suit case, will be convenient. Por-
tiers are always at hand at trains to carry
ones belongings from cab to train or
yiee versa, and they are quick and oblig-
ing, and expect only small fee.
trunks are troublesome things for
constant use in Europe. They are
weighed and extra charges are made for
them. Checks, such as are known in
America, are not obtainable, although
certain methods prevail of sending reg
istered" luggage. When making trips,
therefore, it is best to have ones trunks
stored at one of the agencies in large
cities, and to carry only such luggage as
can be conveniently handled.
Fees to servants at hotels are given at
the close of ones stay These should
be ample, but not excessive.

If one is obliged to occupy state
room with another person, one is care
full to be very considerable in ones man
ners.
When purchasing steamship tickets,
one may secure railway ticket for the
first city to be visited
In England it is correct to travel in
second or third-class railway carriages
in preference to the more expensive
frst-class. On the continent it is neces-
sary to travel either first or second-class.
Purchasing Tickets In Europe
1t is convenience to purchase rail
way tickets at one of the agencies or
companies, where explicit information
can be had about trains, routes, etc. No
extra charge is made. Tickets so
purchased do not identity the holder
with any special party; the tickets are
the same as those at railway stations.

MANNERS AND CUSTOMS
IN TRAVELLING


| short trip in drawing-room car is
not suitable for long journey in ar
ordinary car, and, as | have said, any
| thing that is very conspicuous in travel
| ing is not in good taste. Snowy gowns
| or hats are as mich to be condemned as
loud voices and marked gesticulations.
serviceable Materials
Seryiceable travelling dresses may be
OF pongee, wolfe, panama or mohar the
little jackets or boleros giving becom-
ing effect over dainty blouse. Linen,
glngham and other washable fabrics are
tor occasional wear in travelling. Ones
attire may be very simple, yet never Sc
we're, and it must be immediately neat.
Shabbiness in dress is objectionable,
and the woman who thinks that "any-
thing will do" for travelling is grievously
mistaken. Absolute freshness is neces-
sary. If one cannot afford a variety of
gowns, one can afford plentiful supply
Of washable waists. Even when travel
ing rapidly and remaining but few
days in each place, one can have ones
clothing washed promptly at a hotel
laundry.
For the evening dinner at hotel or

or other soft silk, high in the neck, may
be. worn, the present fashion of lace
yoke and collar making a becoming
touch; or lace waist with skirt Of
silk or wolfe may be chosen. It is a mis-
take TO think that evening dress IS worn
at dinner on ocean steamers.
Americans of a certain type are plenti-
Iful in travelling, but are not to be re-
garded as examples of good breeding.
Costliness and elaboration in dress,
Jewels worn while travelling, are not
evidences of refinement, but the reverse.
Sensible women. those who know that
the tendency to display is on the increase
and is ruinous in its effects-women
who are sure of themselves-kno chat
culture and refinement go hand-in-hand
with simplicity in dress and demeanor
The Young Girl Travelling
In these days women travel about
very independently, and they will be
treated with respect always, provided
they are quiet and dignifed. Young
girls do not travel about alone on long
journeys, nor do they stop at hotels

alone, but should be accompanied by an
older woman, whose presence saves
them from criticism.
On journey in our own country it
is customary to carry as little as possible
by hand A small bag and an umbrella
are allowable, but bundles, boxes, bas-
kets or numerous packages of any sort
are not correct to carry. Luggage is
checked, and it is convenience to
purchase ones railway ticket ir advance,
and, for small fee, have ones luggage
checked through from ones residence, or
hotel, to destination. This saves the
trouble of looking for ones trunks at the
station before starting, but if this can
not be done, it is important to attend
personally to checking ones luggage at
the station in order to avoid mistakes.
Going Abroad
For the benefit of those who intend to
travel abroad, few hints are included
here:
Guide books are necessary for foreign
travel
On steamer one has a stateroom,
where one undresses comfortably as at
home, and goes to bed. A warm wrapper
may be laid on the foot Of the bed or
placed conveniently near, in case of
necessity, and there are always little
racks, or places where one can tuck
away warm slippers, shoes, stockings,
etc.
1t is important to arrange with the
stewardess soon after going on board
about the morning bath, and unless the
weather is unusually severe and stormy,
one would go to the bathroom and take
the regular morning bath as at home.
A steamer trunk is necessary for sea
trip, because it slips under the berth in
a stateroom and is out of the way, and
can be drawn out when required. A
large trunk would be sent down to the
hold"
These trunks are labeled "stateroom,"
or hold the labels being procured
from the steamship company when OBJ
tanning tickets. A bag in which to
carry variety of small articles is re-
CURED A steamer rug and warm
wrap are essential. 1t is important to
engage a steamer chair from the deck
steward soon after going on board and
to have 1t in an agreeable place-the
south side being preferable. A fee is
charged for the use of the chair. The
chair is marked with ones name, and
IS thus easily distinguishable.
Fees are always given to the deck
steward, table steward, stateroom stew
ard and stewardess when leaving the
ship.

THE CHILDREN IN SUMMER

1t is an important question what to
do with the children in the summer,
when they belong to family who are
city dwellers. Children need the free.
dom and quiet of the country all the
year round. If because of business the
city claims the bread-winner, the family
should be located in the suburbs. Those
who are obliged to stay in the city the
greater part of the year must solve the
problem,
For children of all ages be sure that
the place selected has good drainage and
good drinking-watt- and that the food
is wholesome. | know of one mother
who boasts of the continued health Of
her child, although she has Travelled with
him widely, and ascribes it to the fact
that she has never let him drink water
indiscrininately, but always either had
the well-known bottled waters or had
the water boiled before drinking.
Too many country places are i'm
healthy because of the impure water and
the neglect of general sanitary condi-
tons The inhabitants of such places
have become accustomed to them, but
strangers are sensitive to them.

EG of decoration that seesaws, now
ID up, now down, in popular favor,
but even when out of sight may
always be depended upon for reap
pearance. The weaving of beads on
small loom into girdles, bands, chains
and fobs was an innovation that at
tracted many needleworkers, and much
of this work is still done. Just now the
possibilities that lie. in the reproduction
of handsome and costly jewel necklaces
through the medium of the beautifully
colored cut jewel beads is making an
appeal.
Varieties of Beads
The beads may be bought in several
sizes and in numerous shapes. Besides
8he well-known round beads there are
olive, oat and pear shapes, the latter
used principally as pendant The
variety and beauty of the beads should
prove inspirational to even the least ex-
perienced. In the cut or faceted beads
the colors of the well-known gems are
reproduced--tfe blue of the sapphire,
yellow of amber and topaz, the emerald
and the amethyst, and when these are
combined with pearl or iridescent crystal
beads the. result is decidedly pleasing.
Stout silk thread is the best to string
them on, and it should be waxed to
prevent rubbing and fraying Each of

T the first glance it might seem
to the casual reader that man
ners in travelling correspond

"a T the first glance it might seem
IA to the casual reader that man.
Va ners in travelling correspond
- with customs, but a little
thought will prove the contrary. Peo-
pie who are sadly deficient in man
ners may be very exact in following
what they think are customs, and those
who know very little about customs may
be carefully courteous in manners.
For example, person who has good
manners in travelling speaks in low
tones, does not laugh loud, does not
talk for the benefit of the public or men
ton names, does not push forward ag-
gressively; yet this person may not
know, simply from lack of experience in
travelling, what to do, what to wear
IN a word, what are the customs. But,
at the outset, | may state that person
OF refined taste and good manners is
absolutely sure to avoid conspicuous
dress in travelling.
An instructive sense of the fitness of
things is always part Of the possession
OF person of refinement, even though
practically inexperienced in the ways of
the world.
On the other hand, person may have
practical knowledge about tickets, lug
gage, customs at hotels, fees, etc, and
yet may be loud-voiced, or assume
superior airs, or :nonopolize more than
TAR share of space on a train, for in
stance, by filing an adjoining seat with
bag or wrap, while ignoring the fact that
another person is iii search of a seat.
This mark of rude manners is one of
the most noticeable things in travelling.
Dressing for Travelling
In regard to dress for travelling, while
it is true that lighter colors are worn
now, and that thin materials are sensibly
chosen Tor warm weather, it is not to
be denied that perishable materials, and
those that soil quickly, are not desirable
for one who must practice economy.
Dainty dresses of pale shades, delicate
and expensive wraps, are not for the
woman of moderate means, and it
would be an extravaganza, an affecta-
ton, and in bad taste to assume attire
which is not in accordance with ones
purse, and which is not appropriate to
circumstances

daisies may be any desired color, and
the space is regulated by the number of
the beads used. In the detail shown,
eight green beads we're threaded; then,
for the daisy, eight white. Pass the
needle again through the first white

in the center of each blossom Two
needles with double thread in each are
required for this chain, the two sets of

The green straw hat, turned up sharply
at the side in the daslling cavalier style,
is one of the extreme novelties of the
season and will be favorite for mid
summer wear. The cavalier hat, of
course, is trimmed with sweeping
ostrich plume in the same shade as the
straw.
Some Points in Making the New Skirts
Z Some of the skirts shown this
season embody ideas that are a
little different from the ordinary
skirt construction, and though they
do not present any great difficulty,
an explanation of the methods may
prove. helpful. Of several l select one
that is cut with the front panel and
the. girdle in one, model that is very
satisfactory for wearing with separate
waists, as there is certainty of waist
and skirt keeping we'll together, and
all difficulty with belts is avoided.
The sides of the skirt are cut in the
circular shaping, but with seam at
the hip, dividing each side into two
cores and avoiding the sagging that is
almost inevitable on the bias line of a
circular skirt: For convenience in fit
ting, the girdle also has a seam at the
side on a line with the side-seam of
the skirt. The skirt seam may be fin
ished as lap-seam, turning toward the
back to correspond with the seams of
the front panel, or may be pressed
open; in either case, the girdle seam
should be pressed open.

IN MEMORIAM.
A Tribute to Mrs. 8. A. Lowry From
 Those Who Loved Her.

On Thursday last, after a short illness, there passed from earth to the realms above the sweet spirit of Mrs. s. A. Lowry. A life purified by suffering, and each sororw seemed golden chord to draw her nearer to the God she loved. Her life was a sweet and tender poem; her death a sublime climax to all of her noble deeds and aspirations. In death as in life, her gentle, Christian character drew all to her and inspired the noblest and best. Thoughtful always of others. she called each loved one to her, and, with a blessing and last goodbye, she said she wanted no tears, for she was go- ing home to her Savior When God puts out the light of our earthly loves we think of them as links that bind us to the beautiful days of the past, when their companionship gave joy and peace to our lives just as much, even more, are they links in chain studded with the gems of hope and faith that bind us to the coming time when with them we shall dwell in the "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens
 |. Though our hearts are sad let us dry our tears as we remember that the years We pass here, sometimes in joy, so often in sorrow. are not all of life but only its beginning; and that great Beyond Is bright, full of peace and joy. Our dear one will awake to its glory, for she is not dead, but sleepeth.
 Rest in peace thou gentle spirit,
 Throned above;
 Souls like theirs with Christ inherit
 Life and Love-
