japanese Fashions.

Nearly every woman nowadays cherish
es a Japanese gown for house wear with
out realizing how interesting garment II
is. The sleeves themselves have a curious
history. From the middle Of the sixteenth
century they began to increase in length,
and.. especially those for young. ladies'
have extended till now they are. from
three to four feet. This style. known as
furisode, became very fashionable.
The width Of the obi or sash. has also
varied. at first from two and half 10
three and half inches, and to six. seven,
eight and nine inches.
1t is interesting to note that our own
new fashions in sleeves and sashes orig
mated among the common people or
Japan, and from them was finally adopted
by the upper classes. The young ladies or
the Samuraf class were the first to Follow
the popular styles in this respect, and the
higher classes began 10 follow suit. until
now these fashions prevail everywhere.
1t is only from about the middle of the
seventeenth century that the women OF
the lower classes began to wear the long
haori, or oyercoat, at present so common
among all classes of both sexes. This
garment was originally a duster worn by
men to protect their clothes when out
doors. and was then called dufuku. or
travelling coat.
Finally they came to be worn indoors,
and the women adopted the garment. The
upper classes in time followed the same
custom, and now the. haori is an. indis-
pensable part of the clothing to be worn
on formal occasions, even in summer.

green chiffon which is knotted grace
fully at the side. The narrowest lines
of green and white bead embroidery
trim the blouse and dangling from the
sleeves and the lower edge at front ana
back are queer little square ornaments
made of green and pink beads. Such a
blouse may be worn with any skirt OF
sufficiently soft material. though, OF
course, these dressy East Indian blouses
look best over a skirt of satin or crepe
de chine.
One of today's illustrations shows an
East Indian waist of gold-colored crepe
embroidered with beads The tunics are
also made of cream-colored eyelet-em-
broidered batiste, but whatever the ma
terial the effect must be very sort ana
dainty and there must be the knotted
chiffon sash around the waist.
DYED lace is not an altogether novel
fashion notion; but hitherto this trim

costumes of a ceremonious nature Now
dyed ace is the fad and will form one of
the chief trimming features of winter
blouses Few professional dyers will
guarantee the coloring of lace; for while
the lace itself is usually made of cot
ton threads, the material with which it is
to be matched up is almost invariably
silk or wool fabric. The best way to OBJ
tain a smart blouse trimmed with dyed
lace is to fashion the entire blouse first
of white material and then have it dyed
the required shade. If the lace is al
ready dyed in color one fancies 1t may
be matched with some soft, satisfactory

Habit of Grumbling

With the coming of hot weather the
grumbler comes into his own. Grumbling
is as nsidious as influenza and as in
fectious A woman will walk out in the
morning strong and happy, ready to do
her share of the worlds work, and per-
haps a few yards from her own doorstep
will meet some other woman who is
grumblng so badly as to be heard across
a street. It's going to be hotter than
ever" the stricken one will exclaim in
dignantly. Isn't it unbearable?"
III the first woman is susceptible this is
enough. Grumbling will break out on her
instantly. For hours to come she will
hate the beauty of the day and infect
all who come in contact with her.
Some women grumble because their
holidays are over; others srumble be-
cause they have not yet arrived. But
the most iusistent form of the grumbier
is the woman who lameiIts against the
hot weather. She complains against her
food, her clothes, her work.
OF course, ii is futile and dangerous to
argue with grumblers-strict isolation Is
their only hope and ourS-so .that'it Is OF
no use protesting. We can only keep cool
by walking in our own way.
II would drive most women near to
apoplexy to change the routine of their
daily lives; most housewives would be
much more upset by the. thought that
their families had not had regular
meals" than by fussing about an oven.
After all, the best thing to do in hot
weather is to grin and bear 1t. Grum-
bling will not make the burden any
lighter.

shoulder.
The striped satin bags in black and
white have been much used with smart
in Paris this summer. Such a bag would
scarcely answer for ay-in-and-day-out
use, but occasionally. with certain cos
tunes. it is very smart and effective.
These bags have braided cord handles
combining white and black cord, and
sometimes there is a smaller purse in
side for small CONS.

I the belongings inside must be jumbled

two. In many of the large shaped bags
there are pockets in which small belong
ings may be slowed away. for. of course.
the beauty of such a bag is its fiat,
limp appearance and tumble of things
inside would spoil this soft fiatness.
The few leather bags in conventional
shopping style conform to the reticule
idea as much as possible and have odd
shapes, flap covers and long handles in
strap style or made of the fashionable
cord. For travelling use. of course, the
leather bag is the only correct sort, and

1t should prove satisfactory trimming
device. But the trouble is that when
woman takes up any craft. from the
enameling of bedroom furniture to the
hand embroidering of lingerie, she is
likely to try her skill in the newly ac-
quired accomplishment on everything in
sight, and the stenciled trimmings are so
