Making Linen Collars.

The girl who makes lace can join her
flower motifs of Irish into handsome GUNS
and collars just deep enough to cover the
collar and cuff Of the coat, or when the
collarless coat is used the lace should be
about two inches and a half deep. Some
Of these are made ip shawl collar shape,
narrowing to point at bust line.
In making such set, cut shapes Tor
the collar and cuffs first in stin glazed
linen, sew the motifs to 1t and NIL IN
with the desired stitches and bars. Pat
terms for these Irish lace sets can be
found In art needlework departments.
| AS the motifs are crocheted separately
| they make nice pickup work Use a flax
| thread, especially for lace making, as 1t
is supple. lustrous and wears well. This
work is slow. but handmade Irish crochet
in these small pieces is always good style
and the sets are costly to buy.
An effective set is made from Daus!e
rinsed in weak tea, to give an old-world
| tint, and the edges finished with half
| inch binding Of dull pink mercerized lawn
The band is cut wide enough to fold In

| broioery are worked with pink in raised
satin stitch.
Good-looking sets Tor linen lrocks can
be made from remnants of heavy lace
bound on the edges with the linen. This
can be stitched on the machine or may
be basted closely and held by several
rows of chain stitch in self-tones or a
contrasting color

Kitchen Comfort.

Excessive heat is one of the discom-
forts of summer cooking, whether ii be
in country or city home. The gas COM
panies have done much in reducing the
price OF gas as its consumption has In
creased, and In giving a cooking rate. At
is time the electric light companies fol-
lowed suit. The common rate Of cleo
tricity for household use at present
averages about 10 cents a kilowatt hour.
1t would seem to the mere observer to
be economy to put in other meters at
tached to the cooking apparatus and to
make day or cooking rate of. say.
cents a kilowatt hour. Enough house
holders could be interested to warrant
running the machinery through the day
light hours. Electric cooking is safe,
clean and cool, and in many places where
there is no gas electricity Is now used
Meantime the gas and vapor stoves OF
different kinds are at hand to be used.
Various inquiries have been instituted
regarding flatirons for summer use,
and this plan has been suggested
where electricity is not to be had: Take
a single-burner alcohol vapor stove,
which radiates comparatively little heat.
vet will heat a thin iron lid very hot and
quickly; use fatiron with detachable
handle or two cores, heating one nat
while using the other, and the heating
fire will be obviated.
Several people have encountered diff
culties with their gas stoves. So far as
can be told without personal investiga-
ton, the trouble is largely with the
adjustment of the burner There are two
kinds of gas manufactured for lighting
and heating purposes. coal and water
gas Coal gas is prepared by distilling
any coal rich in hydrogen: while water
gas is produced by passing superheated
steam mixed with vapOrized naphtha over
red-hot anthracite coal. The coal gas for
both heating and lighting is superior to
water gas. and it is also safer. In some
places natural gas is used and In others
a gas made from gasoline or some OF the
mineral oils. All of these differ in the
amount of oxygen or air consumed in
and the burners must be
adjusted to admit the proper quantity.
Gas varies much in quality. and each
stove has to be adjusted to the kind Of
gas used. Carbon monoxide is only
feebly combustible, SO the greater the
quantity of this element the more gas
passes through the meter without result
in light and heat.

Reversible Fabrics.

Thick or thin. plain or figured. rough
or smooth, the fall fabrics all have one
feature in common-they are reversible.
Sometimes one side is but lighter shade

When possible the huge buttons worn
on the coats and suits of these reversible
fabrics carry out the double color scheme.
Not so new as some of the other
double-faced materials. but very popular
with the younger set, are the polo coats

New Accessories.

This Is the age Of the accessory in
dress history. 1t is by the accessory
that its wearer's refinement is expressed.
The woman of no taste whatever may
make a presentable appearance so long
as she wears just what her tailor and
dressmaker give her. but let her loose
among the little extra things which her
clever and well bred sister chooses so
well and she betrays herself at once.
The scarf is foremost among today s
little dress luxuries. Time was when the
wearer of one of these airy nothings met
with stern disapproval. She was sus-
pected Of trying to be artistic, which
was once considered quite bad form. But
now every well dressed woman has a
whole range of them carefully laid away
in her favorite perfume sachets, and is
out at the sales buying more.
Some New Scarfs.
There are lovely examples in all the
shops. from the useful trifles in plain or
shot ninon to the painted or bead en-
broidered crepe de chine ones that are
wide and long enough to be caught up
into a cloak for evening wear
There is quite q rage for the colored
handkerchief. Now that mere men are
having their handkerchiefs to tone with
their socks and neckties, the smart wom-
an has hers to match her linen suit or
her embroidered gown.
A New Fad.
The Importance Of the stocking is one
of the most interesting circumstances Of
today's dressing, and it is really difficult
to find whether we got such pretty
stockings because of our short skirts or
we shortened our skirts to show our
hosiery. And stockings are among the
articles in which one may plunge" with
out fear at sale time. One can scarcely
have too many pairs-especially during
the holiday and visiting season, and they
cannot become unfashionable-at least so
far as shape is concerned.
One girl who possesses many quaint
strings of beads has been matching them
all with stockings during midsummer
sales, and in this color-loving era the ex-
cuse seems sufficient.
Little lawn collars and cuffs are other
accessories which can be purchased at
present at great reductions. IF you
have any at all, you must have lot
was the axiom heard at a counter where
these were being sold the other day, and
there is some truth in the extravagant
statement, for 1t is essential that the
lawn trifies should be always immaculate,
otherwise one looks Infinitely better with
out them.

Old Favorites Revived.

In line with the revival Of quaint old
stvles this year have come along some
old time favorites In fabrics One Of
these. which enjoyed some vogue as an
alternative with velvet last winter. is
corduroy.
The new corduroys are heavy in pile
and rich in coloring, with a wider stripe

piles. White corduroy is smart for early

fashioned the dress into one Of the quaint
evening frocks SO modish at present day
affairs. Realizing the charm of the gown
lay in its wonderful colo-ing, she left 1t
devoid of trimming, save for touch Of
the time-yellowed lace on the bodice. At
the waist she fastened a small corsage
knot Of wonderfully lifelke crimson roses,
varying the flowers at will The result
was one of the handsomest and most en-

Notes and Notions.

The cretonne room is the daintiest de-
velopment in home furnishing to date.
The cretonne room must be small, with
plenty of sunlight and an equal amount
of fresh air. While enameled furniture
is prettiest as background. The occu-
pant should choose a favorite color and
have the walls tinted delicate shade Of
this color. One inexpressibly sweet and
artistic cretonne room for young girl
had walls of pale rose pink. The bed
was of white enamel and the willow fur
niture was enameled white.
Thin white muslin curtains at the win
dows were partially covered by cretonne
hangings of white. lowered with pink
and lavender sweet peas. A dressing
table was trimmed with cretonne with a
muslin berufled scarf. The sprinkling OF
sweet peas recurred in the cushions of
the chairs, the bedeover-also veiled In
muslin-the writing desk and one of the
irresistible little cretonne-coveredb bureaus.
The carpet was rose pink of deeper shade.
Could anything more girlish, more spring
like than such q room be conceived, even
at thrice the cost?

claring Seven Days the greatest COM
edy Of this generation. Here Is fair
sample of the opinions. 1t is from The
New York Globe:
Seven Days, one of these cruelty
funny farces-the kind that does not
give you time to breathe between
laughs-kept the Astor in an uproar
for three hours last night and sent
the audience home gasping, dishevelled,
limp and still chuckling from sheer
habit as it streamed out into Broadway.
Every situation or incident that might
be expected to evoke smile has been
seized upon, tickled and humored until
1t produces a roar, and a dignified
audience with broadcloth spangles and
satin resigned itself to an evening Of
hilarity and wiped it's eyes meekly be-
tween acts, grateful that it was not
reduced to helpless hysteria.
If the foregoing isn't sufficiently con-
vincing as to the funny bone tickling
quality of Seven Days, dig up your
magazines and newspapers and see
what they said. Then you'll know that
you must go to Seven Days, IL you
don't attend the theatre again this
season.

The coming production of The Mes
siah by the Fargo Moorhead Oratorio
society promises to be one which will
arouse the interest of local music
lovers. So well is the chorus doing its
work that Director Stephens antici-
pates that it will surely win the fav-
orable criticism Of all the lovers of
oratorio music. A feature Of this con-
cert will be the orchestra which will
be wholly composed of local players
who are we'll versed in the Messiah
music.
Four well equipped soloists have been
engaged: Miss Clara Williams, So
prano; Mrs. Porteous, contralto, and
Messrs. Williams and Phillips.
OF Miss Williams the exacting critic
Of The Minneapolis Journal said re-
Gently: Clara Williams, the popular
Minneapolis soprano, was the soloist
for the occasion. The purity of her
voice and her splendid control and di-
rection Of it were shown in the first
number, Know That MY Redeemer
Liveth, by Handel. Sympathy and a
certain poise made her reading of the
familiar aria most enjoyable"

has held it's friends in suspense for
a long time it has not been idle Hard
and faithful work has been done in

feel that they are now masters Of the

AS is apparent, the band has pre-
pared a list OF standard concert num-

other attractive feature OF the pro-

Hertsgaard. Mr.. Hertsgaard is brill
liant performer. He has for FIVE years
held position as clarionet soloist
with the famous St. Olaf college band,
a position which he held with honor
as can be shown by the numerous

formances received.
