Of the latter Is aRpliques of narrow. strips Of self-toued green or old rose. mercer ized cotton goods resembling silk trained in a conventional design between vertical stripes of like width outlined with s fine cotton sOutaehe braid. White and cream cotton taffeta patterned like dim ity. which may be bought by the yard, is made up in imported curtains trimmed also with cretonne apphques and edged with narrow ball fringe and half-ineh cTet0nne band.
 The best part of these examples Is the arrangement of the cretonne appliques. which in the cotton taffeta surround here and there a segment of brussels net These do not resemble a straight band, such as is stitched to the cheaper grades of muslin curtains fine ex- ample of the white muslin curtain with a wide heInstitched hem. is embroidered back of the hemstitching with small sprays of pink rOTes. clusters of forget me-nOts and other flowers All of these colors are matched in the bedspreads and bolster cases
 Another iu,pO.tcd novelty Is a curtain of a material which Is like a cross betweea scrlm and fshnet fin solid colOrs-pasrel blue, mulberry, rose and green.-s This Is trimmed at several places down the front edge and across the curtain. half a yard or so from the bottom, with small squat re insets of deep cream cluny lace.
 Scrim of two tones. sold by the yard. ,s among the low priced summer curtain materials. In these the beauty of some patterns and the combinations of color are equal almost 10 the finer imported madras materials which are having a vogue this season as window araperies. Some of the best patterns In the latter are oriental in color and design, the ef- feet when hung fin sunny window sug- gesting, in some instances, stained glass.
 Still another novelty Is oriental net of deep red and resedn green only. which has a mesh three-Quarters of an inch In diameter made of a fine cord. This, lined with the thinnest and sheerest of cream colored scrim. Is used for curtains and also for top draperies over plain scrim curtains. =
 The vogue for cotton pOrtereS is in- creasing on account of the wonderful as- sortment of fabrics imported for the pur- pose, which to the uniformed eye look anything but like cotton. In the list in plain colors, is easement cloth, sub stantial heavy and fin absolutely fast cOlors, which include a beautiful old red, such as is popular in artists studios
 Country house owners are showing a preference this season for chintzes in fitting up sleeping and adjacent rooms Chairs, sofas and tables are draped to match window boxes, pOrtieres and win dow lambreQuins. Dressing bureaus are trimmed in the same way, even to the fayOrite photographs and the toilet boxes- The bedspreads and bolster cases are quite often of the same material.
 It Is wise to put away the handsome winter pillows. Strong sunlight and dust will ruin fine silks and embroidery, and the heavy winter pillows are not in good taste during the hot summer months The first requisite of the summer pillow Is easy laundering. The next is simplicity Of line and cool coloring. To echieve the first buy only materials thas will wash without fading. Then make cases to but ton on- This is done in several ways.
 The easiest is to hays an opening across D the middle of the back, faced back like a placket and provided with buttons or patent fasteners. Some workers who do not wish to go to the initial trouble sew the four sides up, leaving an opening of half an end seam, through which the pil- low is pushed. The seam is then blind stitched together and can be quickly ripped open for the laundry. Simplicity of line does away with shirred corners, ruffies, frills and puffs The newest pfl- lows are oblong fin shape. though the square ones are still retained ,J
