TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS
Have Garment Properly Prepared Be-
fore 1t Is Turned Up to
Be Hemmed.

Summer dress skirts when made of
thin material will always sag after
they are hemmed and finished If care
is not taken to prevent it, A good way
to do is to have the skirt sagged first
before 1t is turned up to be hemmed
This is done after the skirt is COM
pletely finished excepting the hem.

the last hook and eye is in its place
The skirt is now hung in a closet or,
better still. put upon full-length
dress form raised from the floor by
placing it on box, and the bias por-
lions Of the cores weighted so they
will stretch to the fullest extent
After several days of this strain the
material will have sagged to its full
est extent, and the hem may be meas
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing. The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tenn
porary coverings of muslin and pin
ned on, are excellent. Any other small
objects of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.

TORESHADOWING already what
we may expect for the coming
u fall season, the hats for late
summer indicate that we shall have
many bonnet-like shapes, tall crowns
and large hats few in number as COM
pared to small and medium-sized
models. Outing hats for July and Au-
gust are of felt in white or light
colors, such as Alice blue, champagne
and the seasons beautiful pink tones.
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and are trimmed
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or ribbon. They
are exquisite and, it must be con-
fessed, fragile in the matter OF keep
ing clean. But they remain present
able for some time and are cleaned
with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these
cool-looking creations of the milliner.
The wells are of lace, in several va
rieties, in coarse silk nets and In
chiffon. They are all washable and
add immensely to the attractiveness
of the hats and the complexion, for
they are worn either over or off the
face.

Fruit Trees on German Roads.
Fruit trees are planned by the road
side in parts of Germany, but not, as
might be supposed, for the appeaser
ment of appetities of passers-by. The
trees are watched closely, and at the
end of the season the fruit Is sold.
The amount stolen Is very small. The
warning is succinct, but not too blunt,
being merely the words, "A good man
Injuries no tree" posted on a board al
