NEW IDEAS FROM
THE LOCAL SHOPS

lain which represent a man. a mon
key, or other animals and occupy a
corner on the mantel shelf or the
stein rack. Looking like a mere or
nament, it is a great surprise to see
ones host take off the hat of the com
ic little figures and pour out of the
mouth a drink of the character that
usually comes from a long-necked
bottle Novelties of this kind are
found in a shop in G street, be-
where also is seen a new ash re-
ceiver in the shape of a funny little
jockey. whose cap rolls back and
empties the ashes in the receptacle
formed by his body, thus doing away
with the dust usually scattered with
the ordinary kind of receiver.
Along with fashions predictions
for the use of so much Irish lace
this season. there are shown some en-
tirely new conceits in this lovely prod
uct of the Emerald Isle, in a little
French shop m F street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth.
There is a charming idea in the
bebe yoke with a narrow plastron
which extends in the front to the
belt, and may be had either cut
with a round neck or a high stock.
Another new thing is the fat lace
tie, a little over an inch in width, the
ends of which are crossed over just
once in front and pinned with a
pretty pin or brooch. The crown and
brim all of Irish lace for the latest
lingerie hat is shown here, and some
lovely new thinerS IN DufCh collars
stocks collars, and yoBes.
One Of the newest fancies in spring
footwear is for very high-cut boots
of satin, with pearl buttons. The lat
est color is a bronze gold satin, in
very modish shapes, which are priced
at s., in a department store in Penn
sylvania avenue, near Eighth street.

This is really a duplex waist, as II is
quite complete without the drapery, the
guimpe being attached and forming a real
part OF the waist.
The shoulder is seamless and the drapery
passes from shoulder on one side to waist
line on the other, while the uDdraped por-
ion OF the waist has a little fulness at
he lower part The yoke and long sleeve

A Closet Wrinkle.

The clothes that hang in the closet or
wardrobe from day to day without an
airing, as do so many of our dresses for
less usual occasions do. should be wen
protected. The best method is to wrap
them first in blue tissue paper-wtIite tbs
sue paper turns white garments yellow
and then in calico bag made a little
longer and wider than the dress, and
provided with a tape drawstring. Sleeves,
by the way. should first be stuffed with
the tissue paper.
To each drawstring attach curtain
hook, and then stretch strong Irvine or
tape from one end OF the closet to the
other, mailing 1t fast On this hook hang
the different bags. curtain rod win
do as well, but win take up more room.
Delicate gowns should be hung upon a
coat hanger before being encased In this
tissue paper. The calico bag. however,
is the most important part Of the treat

Demure Quaker Fichn.

The demure little ichu, brought anti
prominence by the designer OF the Qua
gown. will be much in vogue during
coming months, and IS seen In mai
variations.
On the plain cloth gowns it is usually
of softest null, or perhaps china silk,
edged with lace friIls, but on the lighter
weight gowns it runs the gamut OF fancy.
One charming one was made OF the
material of the frock itself. edgd Vith
gold thread fringe
Another was OF silk net. edged with a
border of flowers in a vivid shade, while
another style comes to a point IN tha
back, with tassels swinging from 1t, and
is crossed at the belt in front to hang
in sashlike ends to the hem of the skirt
The simple white fichus to wear with
plain chambray or yoile froclSs are the
prettiest, however, and may easily be
made at home.
They should be of very soft. white
material, edged with a narrow frill, or
a deep hem, and Iurn-back cuffs to match
may be made for the sleeves
1t is wise to remember, however. that
so simple and so becoming a costume Is
entirely spoiled by the addition OF an
elaborate and beplumed hat

HAIR ORNAMENTS
FASHIONED AT HOME
Bits of Lace, Beads, and Rib
bOns May Be Used.

For evening, there are shown hair
ornaments in the shops that are charm
ing, trifle more expensive and inspir-
ing. The practical woman, after looking
with admiring eyes at the array of BAN
deaux now on view, can hurry to the
ribbon counter, or to the section at which
remnants Of gauzes or lAces are obtain
able, and from few inexpensive pieces
of material she can fashion bandeau for
evening wear that is fit for a queen
Many of the new hair ornaments are
without stiff foundations. There are or
naments at the sides or along the edges,
and there are borders Of beads or en-
broidery. Buckles made at home or
buckram horns are delightful decorations
of these bands. Beads, over satin or
gauze are one effective method of fash
ioning buckles: round forms covered with
embroidery and frightened with Jewels
are another. Tiny square slides are
easily formed over wire.
Gold and silver gauze with buckles at
! distances of three inches are dainty. A
narrow border of beads made by sewing
tubular beads in the alternating vertical
and horizontal lines is easily made. 1t
is very effective on net or tuIle. You
| have no idea how quickly this can be
done
If the sitter shapes appeal to you. fine
milliner's wire is strong enough to out
line the edges. This gives pliability and
firm body. On this, heavier orna-
ments can be applied. Odd buttons have
at last found a home. At sales, the clever
shopped frequently can pick up two
disks at a mere song. Bandeaux offer
suggestions for utilizing them.
The Grecian filet is quite apparent in
new models. Three bands of twisted
gauze ribbon over fine wire are neces-
sary. If you wish, ornamental disks at
each side can be added.
Velvet ribbon in a straight band, fas-
tened at one side under a rosette, is
simple exploitation of the bandeaux suit
able for young girls. Soft ribbon, fas-
tened at the front under a jeweIed
buckle, is another suggestion.

THE USE OF HANDSOME LACEs.

The spring millinery calls for a lavish
use OF handsome laces. At a very fash
ionable wedding IN Washington last week
the bridesmaids picture hats were fash
ioned Of gold lace trimmed with roses in
profusion.
Means have been devised to make it
necessary to use quantities of lace in
stead of dealing in it sparingly, and as
the finest mesheS are the ones that are
in vogue, il would appear that the price
Of hats was not to greatly diminish. In
a few instances lace is used without
foundation, but usually it is drawn over
straw or chiffon and is only partially
transparent. A very clever, If rather
elaborate, method Of employing lace is
to use a five or six-inch edge, in sem
blance Of willow plume, wires being
run through the plain edge, the lace be-
ing shirred rather full, and falling much
as a willow would fall. This idea origi-
mated in Paris and was imported by sew
eraI houses, executed in black, white,
and ecru lace on hats Of various shapes
and colors- The use of lace as a hat
decoration usually includes small flowers
as well. On the model in question, the
lace is arranged in imitation of four
willows, springing from the front, a trffie
over the left eye line. Here cluster of
full blown but diminutive roses is in
troduced- Hardly amy lace-rimmed model
is devoid of flowers; that is, any dressy
model, for there are hats of the semi
trimmed and tailored variety that have
rather q severe arrangement of lace
say a band applied to the brin1. Chan
tilly, point de Venise, plauen and Orien-
tai laces are most in evidence. Lace
bands are used fat on straw br1ms, or
alI-over lace is stretched tightly over a
foundation of straw Occasionally the
lace falls in a rather scant curtain effect
over the brinl, but except when it is
used as a trimming, ii Is rarely put on
with much fullness. Lace bows, of
course, are used, and probably later
when the lingerie hat is practical, we
will have a return TO the befrilled lace
bebe hat of dainty valenciennes.

Recipes.

Veal Loaf-Three pounds of finely chop
ped raw veal, three eggs, six crackers,
rolled fine. two tablespoonfuls of cream,
one heaping tablespoonful of salt, one
tablespoonful of thyme, one tablespoonful
of pepper. Mix well together and form
into a loaf Bake one hour and quar-
ter in a moderate oven, bastfng with two
tablespooufufs of butter.
Spice Puddfng-One cUpful OF molasses,
one-haf cupful of brown sugar, one
quarter of a cUpful or butter, one cupful
of stoned raisins. one-half of a teaspoon
ful of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. and
small teaSpoonful of soda dissolved
in half a CUpful of warm water: flour
enough to make as stiff as common gin
gerbread. Put into a creased mold and
stand the mold in a large kettle with not
more than two inches of water in the
bottom, just sufficient to keep up a large
volume of steam, but not enough to come
near the lid of the mold. A pudding
boiled in this way is more delicate than
when baked, but II you prefer to bake
rather than steam #, have a hot oven
and be very careful that it does not bake
too long.

he is not wrong in his prediction.Aboge
ten cents there was a willingness to
sell upon part of the men who toiled

ton and heavy receipts put the price
below, or even at, ten cents, there IS
grim disposition manifested to "eep
out of the game. A good crop is be-
ing gathered here in Sumter, but ev-
en- now the end of the harvest is in

SHAKING HANDS With
MANY old FRIENDS
Brother Anthony Visits Old
Americas Pastures

Rev. Bascom Anthony is spending a
couple of days among his old friends
in Americas. There is no more well
come visitor to the city than the form
er pastor of the Methodist church
here. Handshaking is the order of the
hour when Brother Anthony is seen
in the business district. No member
of the clergy has stronger hold on
the affections of the men of any town
where he has been located than has
Rev. BascOm Anthony. A genuine man
himself he has the art of getting N
direct connection with other men.
And when it comes down to the OPP
plication of strong common sense to
the daily problems of life every man
knows that he is hard to surpass.
Old Voltaire is credited with having
remarked there were three sexes,
Men, women and clergymen; but if
the old French infdel had ever mo-
the former pastor of the Americas
Methodist church he would never have
uttered his famous mot. When it
comes down to manly things Brother
Anthony is thee with the goods.
