materials, the new bordered effects be-
ing wonderfully beautiful. Silk and
wool voiles are still favorite fabrics
both for suits and gowns, and there is
a fascinating new texture, brouette
nistrell. that comes in all colors.
Black mistrell made over pale cerise
foundation is the last cry and is not
expensive, being only s1.7s a yard and
measuring forty-five inches in width.
One hardly knows where to begin a
description of the new cotton mate
rails which this season rival silks in
beauty and popularity. For example.
there is a half silk foulard that washes
well to be bought for 80 cents a yard
and silk and cotton pongees and a
jacquard pongee at the same price.
There are cotton voiles with satin
stripes at less than so cents yard and
immense variety in English printed
voiles. together with French tissues in
empire stripes. Indeed. one really
wants a frock from each of these
charming materials.
In robe dresses one may find ex-
quisite ready to put on models in baby
and heavy Irish lace from $40 to $50
and a delectable embroidered and
braided robe of black chiffon cloth to
mount over a satin slip. Then if you
would like to purchase a half made
frock look at the bordered batiste
f1ouncings. with plain material to
match, and narrow waist embroidery
A handsome cream batiste embroid-
cred in delft blue is marked $40 and is
cheap at the price.
It is well to know that inexpensive
little guinpes are to be had ready
made in cream, white and black of
fine brussels net. They are lined with
mousseline de sole. and cuffs of the
same material as the guimpe may be
bought if desired.

Mercerized cottons. especially the
white, wash better than embroidery
silks. No matter how good silk you
buy it will not stand having soap rub

iron
Make a thick suds of warm water
and pure soap and rinse the pieces to
be washed. Squeeze through the hands
and do not rub on a board.
Rinse in clear water of the same tenn
perature as the first. Squeeze out as
much as possible of the moisture with
the hands and do not rub on a board.
Pull into shape and roll in a thick
towel to absorb the excess water. Then
take a smooth piece of damp muslin
and place it over the back of the en-
broidery and do the ironing through
that.

If she is well turned out you will find

BILE for the woman who studies herself
Avoid all kinds of clothes that are not
becoming to you and your wardrobe is
sure to be a successful one. 1t is high
time to place orders with your tailor
for spring walking suits, and if you
want to be up in the front rank of
fashion you will select as the material
for one of these costumes black silk
and wool satin which is ffty-four
inches wide and costs $2.9s yard, but
five yards are sufficient for suit,
which brings the price of the satin to
a small fraction less than SIS.
Many women, especially those with
overplump figures, do not fancy satin
as a dress fabric, declaring that the
shiny surface accentuates their too,
too solid flesh, but in the silk and wool

There is only a slight 1uster. and that
is not Objectionable.

THE THlMBLE BlCENTENNIAL

Who of all the women busy over
their sewing know that the thimble,
or, as our German cousins picturesque
ly call it. the Finger hat" might, if SO
minded, have celebrated it's two hum
dredth birthday last year? For it was
just about 200 years ago that a London
goldsmith named Trotting made and
presented to the lady of his heart on
her birthday a thinlble of gold beau
tifully ornamented and chased, accom-
panied by a note which introduced the
little contraption as a token of my
humble esteem which shall protect
those delicate, fair and Industrious
fingers from prick and scar of needle
head
Until that day sewing had been
real task, painful and laborious. and
attended with occasional bloodshed.
The novel birthday gift was conse-
quently much appreciated and so ad
mired by the recipients friends that
