Beau BrnmneL. MUcntOr
OF Process of Shrinking

Beau Brummel. the exquisite dandy
and the best dressed man Of his time.
was in reality the inventor of the
first process of spOnginE cloths.
His clothes were made 20 nj so
tight that his fertile mind conceived
the idea of shrinking the cloth before
il was made up into a suit, so that
there would not be any danger of the
suit shrinking after il was made up.
From that time, 1910. practically
all spOnging or shrinking has been
done by the tailor, and when "Milady
wanted 10 have her gown go through
a shrinking process before II was
made up she had 10 send il 70 a tailor,
who invariably did the shrinking. but

goods.
All this has been changed i'm recent
years by the invention of steam

goods. but the goods will retain the

that II pays to sponge or shrink all
of the better grades of cotton goods,

To Make Cottage "Comty''

For the summer cottage there are
many new contriyances 20 make living
more comfortable
Among them is a long rod on a stand
and with a soft cushion on the top in
tended as a resting place for a big
straw hat.
These new hat stands are really quite
ornate In their way, bound with soft
cretonne OF printed sateen, whichever
best goes with the hangiuEs OF the
room. while the cushions at the top are
covered and edged with lace rufties.
Sometimes the whole stand is covered
with brocaded satin. trimmed with gold
lace and hung with those French ribbon
flowers or again. white linen is used
and the cushion top IS embroidered.
Like everything else. they may be as
costly as one could wish. and they add
greatly 10 the fcmininity Of the dress
