as competent as men to fill those posi-

| The mother of two small daughters
gives this sewing suggestion that is quite
! helpful. When making children's petit
coat Wristbands, she gathers the skirt TO
the waistband before hemming the back.
and then turns it in with the hem. When
the band gets too small and narrow
across the back. all that is necessary is
to rip out the hem and face the back.
and the gathers are not disturbed. There
is no ripping the skirt from the band to
adjust the fullness.
After washing lamp chimneys rub
them with dry salt, which will give a
brilliant polish to the glass.
When making salad that contains

similar garnishes mix them with the
dressing about an hour before serving and

garnishes will then be more thoroughly
mixed with the salad.

process is held to destroy the flavor of

The overskirt effect is seen more and
| more as the summer advances Some
one predicts that many a stylish gown
| of the moment viii be used as the fOun-
| dation for another one next seaSon-the
magic overskirt deliberately draped and
trimmed bringing about the metam0r

| Leather hats promise to be particu-
| larly popular with the summer traveller
| this wear. They are to be had in pat
ent leather, as we'll as suede, and may
be found in wide range of colors and
shapes.
No matter what may be said of the
| style prevailing elsewhere, it cannot be
denied that the favorite gown of the
| fashionable women in Paris is the plain,
semi-ftted Princesse, of dark blue serge,
and trimmed in black soutache. Semi
| fitted, in this instance, does not mean
| that the gowns are in loose effect, like
some of the coats, but that they are
slightly fitted garments which, while

an easy grace, permitting Il slight move
ment of the body.
In some instances this gown shows the
familiar front or back panel or both,
and in many instances the bodice Is
plain fitted to below the hip line to give
the effect of a tunic, with a circular
skirt. This line is covered with beau
tiful arrangement of braid in a cOmbi-
nation of wide and narrow widths. An
other charming arrangement is with the
plain front and back panel, heightened
slightly above the knees with the mate
rial set in deep kits. At the neck 2
shallow yoke of the white tucked net or
batiste forms a becoming contrast.
| The rage for yokes and stocks of silver
and gold threaded laces is over and these
| trimmings are only used on dreSsy after
noon and evening gowns. For the latter
purpose however, these snowy laces are
used a great deal and with charming
| effect.
Among the materials for summer waists
none are more popular than fine French
washing voiles and French crepon. The
French crepon is a charming fabric,
nearly all linen, crisp, sheer and fine.
all cotton and thick and heavy. But
both have the recommendation of laun-
dering without ironing. When they are
dry they can be taken off the line and
put on.
| Last summer the output of crepon of
fine quality was controlled by large
London house. and it only appeared in
imported waists. which sold at fabulous
prices. This year, however, the material
is sold by the yard and the shops can
hardly keep up with the demand for it.
1t comes not only in plain but also in
embroidered effects and in exceedingly
pretty colors.
| Laces which look well if they are
washed but not ironed, are, of course.
the proper thing with which to trim ere
pom waists. Cluny, Irish crochet, hand
made linen torchon and all the Italian
laces. which are made by hand and wear
like iron, are used as insertions and edg-
ings Crepon waists. lace inserted and
embroidered, and then dyed to any de-
sired shade are considered much smarter
than waists of color with white lace.
Very thin and deliberately embroidered
waists still button up the back, but
waists of less diaphanous materials are
