GRACIOUS HOUSE GOWN
FRENCH DREssMAkER GIVES TIPS
TO WORRYING WOMEN.
Quite Possible to Have House Clothes
With Stamp of Elegance With
out Too Much Expense
Dress for Girl.

The unusual term gracious is not
my own. 1t was employed by a clever
little French dressmaker who was try
ing to explain to group of worrying
women in my presence that it was
quite possible to have house clothes
with a stamp of elegance without too
much expense.
THE trouble with most American
ladies'" said madame, lis that they can
only see the extremes of dress-that
Is, the rich material, the ornate cut
and SO it Is difficult to persuade them
that an exquisiteness superior to splen-
dor may be gained by really modest
materials.
"Yoyons, look at the true Parisians.
Madame cultivates always the thing
gracieuse, the design and stuff which
will captiyate and not astound. She
prefers to melt into your notice, as 1t
were, and not get there with bound.
She makes her costume part of her,
whatever Its material, and she is wise
enough to have toilet for all occa-
sions. Her house gowns-well, they
are of softly falling materials, with
guimpes and trimmings of muslin in,
stead of lace. Muslin, white muslin
ii you only knew its possibilities for
the gracious thing! 1t demands dainty
fnishings, and in bits here and there
may be gowns entire trimming"
With this out came a pair of ex-
quisite little frocks, each showing the
white muslin touch, and each made
with the round bodice with kimono
sleeves which Is SO graceful and easily
fitted.
The first creation was a yellow cot
ton wolfe f1ecked with silk figure, and
with the white muslin worked over
coarsely with black for the trimming.
The yelling formed tunic, sat the
gathered bottom of which the muslin
was put in two square chunks, the one
at the front higher than that of the
back.
Made by madame this little dress
would cost $35, but with home making
40 more than $40, as the brilliant
dressmaker herself admitted.
Our illustration shows little dress
for girl of sixteen. the model lending
Itself especially well to this ingenue
age. The two versions of the style
display how the frock may be made
either for street use or for the house,
but since am on the subject of home
gown, pray let me say that there is the
very thing for missy's dinner dress.

NEWEST FANCY IN HATPINs
Most Fragile of These Novelties Arc
in Shape of Rosettes of White
Net,

Fabric heads are the newest fancy
In hatpins. The most fragile of these
novelties are in the shape of resettes
ana tiny rosebud wreaths of stiffened
white net, and the most substantial
are of Irish crochet representing either
the shamrock or the full blown rose
Also OF flower form are the hatpin tops
OF celluloid tinted in imitation of what
ever exotic is represented, and there
are some choice and expensive speci-
mems OF coral carved in dahlia and
rose shape. Carved ivory pin tops rep
resent all manner of odd shapes, as
we'll as fiat disks, balls and pears. and
IN the prism cut crystals of various
shades are the well known spikes,
acrons and cubes.
Pin tops Of fligree metal in square
and circular form are set with coral
rose balls, with peals and amethysts,
and many of sterling silver are bril-
lantly enameled with color
Amethysts are favorite setting for
the Colonial pin tops of FURNISHED gold
and form the center of the flower
shapes which have petals of white
stones.
Hatpins have so, gradually increased
In size and cost that they are now re-
garded as a portion of the jewelry and
are as carefully looked after. The
amethysts, garnets, rhinestones or
pearls Of hatpin head are quite
worth saving when the ornament itself
for one reason. or another, is discarded.
Not infrequently girl will throw away
handsome top because its pin is bent
or broken or several of the semi-pre-
cious stones of Its setting have fal.an
out owing to her failure to have her
expensive hatpins examined as regu-
larly as she does her rings While
the larger shops do not repair jewelry
set with semi-preeious stones, there
are many minor dealers who will glad
ly renovate an elaborate hatpin, and
for an amazingly small sum.

third time he was passing he stopped,
returned the salute and said: 81 am
nobody but Jack Easement, and If 1
pass here twenty times today don't
want you to salute me again without
there is some officer with me. Some
of them want to put on style, but
don't"
At Town Creek, N. c., the confeder-
ates held the bridge with small fort,
Easements brigade being in front.
We were halted near the bridge, when
Easement rode up to the head of the
SiXty-flfth Indiana. To an old colored
man Easement asked if there was any
place to cross the creek below the
bridge. He answered: why, massa,
dare's nothing but an old rotten boat at
de rice mill about quarter-mile be-
low" He started off to investigate
and found it satisfactory. The creek
was narrow and deep. The old boat
reached about one-third across. Six
men could cross at time, and the
boat was pulled back and forth very
fast, and it was a short time before
Company F was across and deployed
as skirmishers. When the regiment
was across the line advanced toward
tie fort. By this time quite a force
had gotten across and were making
a flank movement to the right around
the fort. At this time General Cox,
division commander, and Colonel Jack
in r,I1
toned General Cox said: Colonel,
don't you want some more men here?
You seem to have nothing but Skin.
mish line" NO" says Jack; 'this is
the Sixty-fifth Indiana, and it can
whip the whole confederacy."
In a short time there was sharp
rattle of musketry on the opposite
side of the fort and all was quiet. The
fort surrendered. At franklin, as all
know. Easements brigade was on the
east side of the pike, the right Of the
Sixty-fifth Indiana was on the pike,
Company F in front of the cotton gin.

put beef to cook and coffee to boil.
BY four o'clock, when looking to the
front we could see Hoods line advanc-
ing They were coming slowly and
steadily. We gathered our traps to-
gether, saw that our guns and ammu-
milton were in good order, took our
places behind the works, and. shall |
say? calmly waited the onslaught. It
was an apparent calm, for there was
tempest brewing in the breast of
every man. They were steeling their
nerves for the great conflict that all
knew was almost upon them. About
this time General Cox and staff rode
up and took look at the front. About
this time familiar voice was heard
to our left. Looking in that direction,
we saw Colonel Jack, who was only
a few moments from a great event of
his life-that was to change him
from Colonel Jack to General Jack
Easement. He was encouraging the
boys to do their best. When he came
in the rear of our company he made
what General Schofleld termed his IA
nous speech, but the captain did not
quote quite all Of It

Your Umbrella.

A badly rolled-up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
80 long as it ought to. The process
of rolling an umbrella up neatly is
very simple.
The majority hold it by the handle
and keep twisting the stick with one
hand while with the other they twist
and roll the silk. Instead of this, they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points. naturally, lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold Of
and pressed tightly against the stick,
and then the cover should be rolled
up. Holding the ribs thus prevents
them from getting twisted out Of
place or bending out of shape, and the
silk is bound to follow evenly and
roll smooth and tight. If an umbrella
Is rolled In this same fashion until 1t
u old enough to look rusty. 1t will
look az II newly bought.
