Not to go to the funeral Of an acauaint-
ance is an omission that requires ex-
planation or apology. This last rite of
friendship and respect is one to which
We all owe obedience and which it is our
right to expect in return. On the other
hand, no one who is not bound by ties
of sufficient intimacy Is expected to at
tend funeral. Anything that might
seem like curiosity either of person or
place is to be avoided.
As we all know. the tribute Of flowers
has been abused: but the request Kindly
omit flowers is only intended for those
who might incur the expense of sending
them for conventional reasons only. All

THE bathing caps prepared for the
opening season at the seashore
= will prove to be feature. Every
type of bather seems to have been con-
sidered. Age coloring and even tempera-
ment, tastes and predictions are repre-
sented. For example, if you are of
Scotch descent. you may choose your
plaid. If your tastes are eastern, here
is the richness OF the orient in design and
tint. If you are ma ture. here are sober
stripes of black and brown or black satin
and silk in contrasting stripes. For the
young and gay are blowing reds and
blue while the large polka dots still re-
tain their old place.
This gayety and adaptability is even
less important than the cap itself. The
foundation is the oil silk cap. covered
with the silk and held in place by an
elastic cord. Over this foundation is
a structure of silk. giving the effect of
a turban, and this is held in place by
natty band which has the air of the
ends of the turban dexterously tied This
is fastened with buckle and requires
no other adjustment. Altogether. ii is
a painsaving and picturesque addition
to the bathing costume
The bathing cloak takes the form of the

drapery and the easiest to put on. Moth

that some of the best frocks of the sea-

effect of an up-to-date jumper dress.
The advantage of such a costume is that
when it is too warm and one finds even
the bretelles burden they can be peeled
off. and an attractive belt covers the
waistband of the frock, and with coat one
has a complete suit, or without it a sepa-
rate skirt and blouse.

THE choosing and making of ,.t
sleeve perhaps present greater diff
fiCulties to the home dreSSmaker
than docs any other part of the garment.
Very often the blouse or gown turned out
by the amateur is spoiled by the sleeve on
account of its unsuitability to the rest of
the garment in question. or because it is
not we'll made. The perfect sleeve is by
no means easy to contribute, but IL you
are fortunate enough to hit upon an at
tractive design and procure a paper pat
tern of the same the rest is plain sailing.
The only trouble is that in these days of
ouicll-chansing modes the fashion makers
no sooner launch a style than they evi-
IDENTIFY think il over and wonder II they
hadn't better change their minds after
all. OF course the sleeves are long now
everybody knows that-but are they sainG

talking about now. The idea is not a bad
one, and such a sleeve is SO much cooler
and more SeaSonable for warm weather.
Speaking of Paris. the air at the gay
capital is charged with rumors at this
minute that twelve-yard skirts. panniers
and sleeves held out with stiff interlininS
that are little short of cages are at the
door awaiting an opportunity to display
themselves If they are there il will take

summer or in the fall To return to the

to what shape the sleeve shall be in a

the top is not only agreeable. but posi-
lively a charity when the shoulders of
the wearer are contracted and the arms
of the proverbial broomstick build.
For the shirt waist the small bishop is
always a safe selection, and II may be
either long three-quarter length. All
over embroidery sleeves should be cut
with one seam. The button and loops
give the tight fit at the wrist and should
be placed on this seam and not on the
outer edge of the arm.

of a blouse with an old-fashoned full

times out of ten with home sewing. and
then, IL the sewer has been wise in her
generation and bought the pretty rem
