fashioned" girl and others who nnd

only the cuts approved in the past.
and surely this correct yelling OF the
throat and arms seems more proper
for bridal attire. But Jokes and un-
d~ersleeves are all very f1lmy, m
though lined with chiffon or net they
are all still diaphanous enough to be
becoming. In fact 1t Is the exception
to see the wedding frock's WI ma
terial carried straight up to the
throat, while a sleeve without some
underdrop in a more airy textile Is
altogether behind the times.
In point Of material many quite In
expensive silks are used by persons
of modest means, these with stripes,
dots or tiny floral sprays, or else a
twilled OF corded Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed in conjunction with
satin, rich lace, and chiffon, this com
bination turning out the most fairy
like wedding frocks without great ex-
pense. One wedding dress shown by
a leading importer was of embroider-
ed batiste over satin. 1t was short,
with a Dutch neck, and fairly incrust-
ed with needlework. 1t was to be
topped by a broad hat wreathed with
white Grape morning glories and
snowy roses in the same airy texture.
The materials used show endless
shades of white, but pearl, snow-white
and a delicate cream are the most sat
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange
ment for the veil Is to put it on after
the manner of a straight gathered cur
tain, with the sides covering the
| cheeks and the rest of the face I'M
covered. The tulle or fine net used, Is
left unhemmed and it is shirred to q
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract
i've and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
would be needed for walking or trav-
cling. Here one of the new cloths
with a rough finish Is employed, the
color a delicate tan, with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plated with a closely
fitting yoke, and the upper part is a
species of p~olonaise, with the neck
rounded out and kimono sleeves cut
| with the side portions of the bodice.
| White net embroidered with black
dots Is used for the guimpe and under
sleeves. Any wool of a solid nature
would do for this frock, and machine
| embroidery may be bought for the
trimming if the braiding seems diff
cult. The upper part of the dress
could also be made of yelling and the
lower part of silk. and with this ar
rangement an embroidered guimpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But In seeking for a rich effect re-
member that a black note in the
trimming will always give it, and for
that matter, a gown in almost any
color might be trimmed solidly with
black and be in excellent style.

for reading purposes. are about two

Home Life of the Eskimos.
During the winter these patient and
cheerful children of the north live in
igloos. or huts, built of stones and
earth. 1t is only when they are trav-
cling. as sometimes during the moonlit
period of the month. that they live In
the snow igloos, which three good
Eskimos can build in an hour or two.
In summer they live in the tupiks, or
skin tents.
"The stone houses are permanent.
and a good one will last perhaps n
hundred years, with a little repairing
of the roof in summer. They are
found in groups or villages at inter
walls along the coast from Cape York
bay to Annotok. AS the people are
nomadic these permanent dwellings
belong to the tribe and not to indi
viduals. One year all the houses In

them.
