Flexible metal girdles are among the
! novelties shown by the big shops. One
is of silver in the shape of serpent that
! has jeweled eyes. In its mouth it holds
| 4 pendant of lapis-lazuli. When worn
over black velvet these metal girdles
show up wonderfully well. Some of
| them are only about 2 inches wide and
| others are much broader. One is OF
| Janapese characters in silver, another
shows procession of Egyptian figures,
men and animals, and third is con
ventional design of the iris enameled in
| cOlO-.
All fresh vegetables should be washed
and soaked in strong brine, which will
freshen the leaves and drive out any
insects lurking among them.
A charming necklace is composed of
| links of finely wrought gold, from which
hang baroque pearls suspended by gradu-
ated chains. In the center is a pendant
| of two large turquois matrices, the up
| per one oval and the lower one pear
| shaped. Another barbaric necklace is OF
oblong dull silver plates joined by links.
| In each of these is set a ragged shaped
| piece of jade, and from the centerplece,
which is shaped like shield and rough

| of polished jade.
The graduation frocks of the year,
whether they be for grammar and high
schools or for college, will all, practical
| ly, be of the princess shape, and host
| of lingerie ones will be seen. For gram
mar and high school there is nothing so
| suitable as a fine lawn or null, with
| lace and needlework. for a young girl.
But many a girl will overrule her sensi-
| BILE mother and wear silk gauZes, or
even silky, Opaque materials. Crepe de
| chine and chiffon cloth are perennial ia
vorites. Silk cashmere will be used eX-
| tensively this year, and so. too, will the
new thin silk ottoman, which has the
| large cord of the older and thicker
weave. The returned crepe cloth of thin,
| almost gauzy texture is a practical ma
terial for such gowns. 1t is fine and
| clinging, and lends itself to elaboration.
With it there are shown a host of other
all-silk and wool weaves which it is i'm
possible to enumerate.
Scarfs will be used instead of evening
cloaks as soor as the warm weather
comes, if it ever does. 1t is only the
| decolletage that requires protection on
summer evenings, and the scarf is all
that is necessary. Delightful scarfs are
woven for this purpose in supple gold
and silver tissue, bOrdered with fringe
and embroidered with bullion thread.
Transparent evening cloaks, too, have
evolved from the scarf idea. A scarf is
arranged over a soft silk yoke, with the
ends falling down in front, and gathered
to the edge of the yoke is a cloak of net
or some other transparent material which
gives slight protection from dust, but
which is worn chiefly for effect. Trans
parent cloaks of all lengths are also de-
| signed for day wear, and reach the acme
of usefulness when they are made with
| out sleeves.
The rather startling whim of the mo-
ment is the black or dark colored chemi-
settle and sleeves with a white or light
colored gown. The effect is better than
might be expected, and the black makes
a charming background for pearls or dia-
| monds.
Among the new belts which are shown
by the shops are those of white linen
| betting, the soft kind, with the quaintest
| little Dutch scenes in Delft blue. There
| are Windmills in blue, blue cows, and
blue Dutch girls carrying pals of blue
milk. Cretonne belts with the figures
stamped in blue are to be had, and these
are quite charming. They are finished at
| the edges with a narrow piping of Delft
blue linen, and have pearl buckles. Belts
of plain white linen may be made very
fetching by adding the blue Dutch land
scapes of embroidery in the coarse darn
| ing stitch. Any girl who is clever with
brush and colors could add distinctive
| touch to a white MORE belt by hand
painting it in the delicate tone of blue
made famous by the Dutch pottery
workers.
A favorite dainty for the tea table is
sailed waters or round thin water crack
| ers covered with beaten white of eggs,
through which has been mixed finely
chopped English walnuts. The crackers
are baked in a hot oven and served in
stead of small cakes.
The tub frocks for the coming season
are exceptionally charming. Those for
| wear about the house in the morning
may be made of the inexpensive figured
dimities and lawns, simply trimmed with
little touch of embroidery or lace For
| convenience and to make laundering cas-
| Ter, skirts and blOuses may be made sep
arately and then Joined together at the
waist to form one-piece frock. For the
woman who has full purse linen and
cross-barred and figured batistes and
muslins make up into admirable frocks.
as do also the silk finished ginghams,
which are particularly lovely this sea-
son. Embroidery of all kinds may be
| found in the big shops-this is year of
embroidery, from the finest hand work
to the heavy, coarse kind done on wide
mesh net-at almost any price one wishes
to pay and the woman who has a few
spare moments and loves such work may
| beautify her frocks with her own handi-
work if she so desires. Embroidery on
| tub frocks should be done with mer-
cerized thread rather than silk, for al
though some silks are guaranteed to
wash well, in the long run it will be
| found that the cotton thread is better
