SCHOOL DRESSES

Mothers having girls of school age
will, If they are thrifty and wise, take
advantage of the aftermath of the
summer sales and pick up the rem
nants of dress goo0s and short lengths
of cloths that are left over as being
unreasonable for warm weather wear
and conN ert them into smart little
frocks and stylish coats for the school
outfit Many very nice odds and ends
of goods still fresh and in perfect con-
dition can be bought at greatly re-
duced prices. They may not be in the
latest designs, but will probably be of
excellent quality, and if fashioned in
up-to-date styles no one is going to
criticise the kind of material developed.
The fabrics one is apt to find are
lightweight tweeds, diagonals, serge,
mohair, lady's cloth, panama, the plaid
goods, checks in lightweight woolens
and cheViots.
In trimmings there will be fancy
braids, short lengths of velvet and
handsome silk, also motifs, ornaments,
buttons, etc, little passe in design,
perhaps, but quite good enough for the
purpose, that can be bought at ridicu-
lous PRICES because good stores never
carry trimmings over from one season
to another, but prefer clearing out at
any price.
AS two and even three different col
ors or materials may now be combined
in one garment if one remnant is in
sufficient, another may be bought to
complete it, or raid on the wardrobe
will perhaps bring to light half-worn
waist to prove just the thing to help
out short length of new goods.
The styles for girls are so simple
nowadays that smart looking dresses
and wraps may be turned out by the
amateur dressmaker, especially if she
avails herself of the assistance of good
paper patterns, says the Pittsburg Sun.
In choosing styles for the develop
ment of remnants it is better to avoid
too plain effects, choosing those show
ing tucks, plaits or gathers, because
then any joins that are inevitable will
have a chance of concealment.

FASHION NOTES

Choux or bows matching in color. the
straw of ones hat are quite natty as
neck finish to summer gowns.
Hats of chitz or small figured chit-
fon are worn more and more by small
girls at shore and mountains.
For outing wear coarst straw hats
banded with hand-embroidered coarse
Swiss open work embroidery contin-
linen, are among the novelties.
Swiss openwork embroidery contln-
ues it's vogue, being employed impair
TALLY on hats, blouses and dresses.
Ribbon run insertion continues to be
a favorite finish for the top of the ruftie
on lingerie petticoats.
Long scarfs of black satin are very
striking, some self-lined, others with
oyster white or pearl-gray satin.
For the more modest tabernacle
gowns silk and satin prevail in self
tones, stripes, dots, coin spots, plaid
and checkerboard patterns.
Black satin tailor-mades show acces-
series of embroidery in the dark Korean
hints or in the blues and reds of Bull
garia.
The mannish wool mixtures have first
place for tailored suits, but for dressier
suits heavy satin and broadcloth will
be used.
Swansdown is considerably used for
evening scarfs. Tulle and swansdown
form a beautiful combination.

CURTAINS FOR THE WINDOWS

One very attractive way to arrange
muslin curtains is to have them cut
in four parts for each window, the
two upper sections reaching just be
low the division of the upper and the
lower sashes and drawn together
while the lower sections, reaching to
the SILL are run on another rod that
is hidden by the upper sections and
are pulled back at the sides. These
are called Dutch curtains and are
very pretty and dainty when done in
ruffled muslin, also made of plain un-
bleached muslin with charming e.
feet. --,sz.
There are great many people who
like a third curtain hung close to the
glass. This is called a 'bonne femme"
curtain and hangs plain without any
folds whatever. 1t is appropriate in
city houses where the windows are so
close to the street that the other cur
tains do not make enough barrier.
Blue and white Japanese cotton
crepe is one of the prettiest things
to use for curtains in dining room if
one has old blue china to display in
groups upon the walls.
A room with a high cream colored
wainscot the upper wall covered with
dull gold paper or painted, would be
lovely with ecru net curtains and S de
curtains of Havana brown Velours
edged with dull gold braid.
If the windows of a room are SO mar
row that one cannot spare an inch of
the light and air, the curtain rods can
extend beyond the window frames a
little way so that the side curtains
hang over the woodwork and wall, thus
widening the proportions of the win
dOws without using up the much need
ed light.
If curtains are to be made at home,
care should be taken to cut them
straight and also to measure correctly,
allowing for hens at both top and bot
tom. Being careful in the first place
adds much charm and wearing quality
to the curtains. Cretonne curtains that
are to hang in a very bright sunlight
should be lined with sateen and thu
cretOnne edged with curtain braid of
harmonzing color. Silk and velours
curtains can have either silk or dull
gold or silver braid edge-WOman's
Home Companion.

WORSE AND WORSE

Tipping gets worse and worse on the
other side" said Senator DepeW in
recent interview.
"A New Mexican told me that at the
Savoy in London he went to have
wash before luncheon, but saw a pla-
card on a mirror saying:
Please tip the basin after using
This made the man so angry he
rushed from the washroom muttering:
"'No, I'll go dirty first
1.-The New Mexican added that after
he got his lunch he tipped the waiter
the walters two helpers, the man who
gave him his hat and gloves, and the
man who whistled for taxi. The We
hicle rolled out into the Strand, and our
friend leaned back with a sigh of re-
lief, when he was aware of boy in
buttons running along beside the win
daw.
Well, what do you want?" said the
New Mexican savagely.
"A few coppers, sir-accordin' to the
usual custom, SIR the boy painted.
why, what did you do?" snarled
the New Mexican.
IF you splease, sir, said the boy

A LESSON FOR ALL

But don't judge a man by appear

banquet in Columbus
Jackson Wentworth, after an alb
sence of thirty years, returned to the
home of his youth. Jackson had
slight affection of the skin which made
his nose very red. Hence, when he
called at the parsonage the old minis
ter remarked:

afraid you've become hard drinker.'

A WONDERFUL IMPRoVER

F. H. Elliott, the secretary of the
American Automobile association, at a
dinner in New York laughed over some
of the absurd claims made against au-
tomobilists.
"If an automobilist runs over a pig
he said, sit is sure to be a blooded

is a pedigreed bird worth $40 or $50. A
yellow barnyard eur is a wire-haired

COSTUMES FOR MASQUERADE

When preparing for a masquerade,
Diana" is a charming scheme for a
TALL slender girl with clear-cut fea-
lures. She might dress in soft veil
ing consisting of a short plated skirt
over which descends a Grecian tunic
caught up with a silver buckle on one
shoulder and bound in loosely at the
waist with a cord Draw the tunic
out little to fold over the girdle as
seen in antique statues. Diana's hair
is worn in a psyc lie knot a silver
paper crescent CLEANS from her fore
head, and she carries a bow silvered
like the star, and wears the culver
with arrows slung at her side. Leather
boots that lace high on the leg are
especially desirable if they can be
had, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Maud Muller" makes an always
picturesque and lovely costume. 1t
consists of a simple country frock of
cotton goods in brown, blue, white or
cream, with broad brimmed straw nat,
trimmed with autumn leaves and
grasses. Maud Muller should carry
wooden rake.
Queen Guinevere" should be dressed
in the green she loved so well. The
design for the dress may be adapted
from any illustration of an early Eng
fish tale She should wear a dainty
hoop skirt dress of sprigged muslin
with straw poke bonnet trimmed with
ribbon and flowers to match the ma
terial She should have her hair in
the famous ringlets and might carry
a parasol or fan.
1.-THE Spirit of the Sea" is a charm
ing selection for the girl who wears
green we'll The dress should be car
red out in soft, clinging green ma
terial with trimming of white or coral
if desired. The Spirit wears a head
dress of seaweed and shells, a belt
of shells or imitation coral and could
appear holding to ler ear pink conch
she'll
One pretty costume which is not de-
pendent on height or variations of
coloring is 1.-THE Old Fashioned Girl.
This gives a costume that any girl
who sews at all can make for herself
1t can be figured in either of two
ways.
For one way consult the illustra-
tions in the first editions of Miss Al
colts famous stories and draw IN
SEPARATIONS therefrom. Many of the
simple frocks and bonnets shown
there are full of charming quaintness
when compared with our latter-day
styles and would be extremely becom-
ing to the average modern maid.
Again, you could penetrate stlll
farther into the past, say to the year
1890, and construct from old-time
fashion plates which are still preserved
in many households a most fascinat-
ing old fashioned girl.
