FLOWERS ON THE FUR SCARF
Effective Touch That Gives Relief to
Somber Garments Worn in
Cold Weather.

One small touch of color makes
sombre garments bloom with bright
ness. This is quite noticeable since
the women began wearing tiny
bunch Of artificial flowers or a single
satin rose against the dark fur Shout
der scarf. This fashion began just
few weeks ago, and it has been widely
taken up ever since. 1t is interesting
to watch a thing like this grow.
A woman came into an afternoon
tea with a brilliant pink satin rose
pinned on a black fox scarf. Twenty
women discussed it later and the next
day after that half the number were
downtown shopping for colored flow
ers. On the succeeding days there
were flowers in plenty on dark furs
wherever women were foregathred.
1t was 4 small touch, but it gave
color and brilliancy to the dull tones
that women wear on our streets. IL
was better than a gardenia in the but
tonhole, and better than a bow OF
colored ribbon, although this fashion
is being taken up by those who do not
wish to pay the price for good arti-
fetal blossom.
The fashion for satin flowers came
in last summer, but did not meet with
wide success in this particular spot.
One saw roses of the material on hats
and again on evening gowns as rival
to the rocco affairs of bullion cloth.
Empire gowns for young girls carried
girdles Of tiny satin buds on green
vine. and even slippers were finished
off with a tiny satin blossom.
Yet the vogue of the single flower
well made and attached to the cos
tune as a note of rich color was not
in general use. Then, without warn
ing, came this attractive method OF
pinning such color to ones furs. In
the old days, when a fur piece was
something to keep one warm in the
street and to be laid aside indoors,
the colored flower would not have
served half as we'll as it does now,
when furs are retained at all formal
daytime affairs except luncheons.

LINGERIE THAT is PRACTICAL
Least Possible FIuffiness In Under,
garments Is Now the Order
of the Day.

Lingerie this season is designed
with the least possible 1uffiiness, from
the corset cover to the matinee frock.
1t is made of the finest of batiste,
muslin or cambria and enriched by
fiat embroideries, which have replaced
the frills and flounces which were
usual when the skirts were full and
waists permitted much more to be
worn under them.
Flat, ungathered waists, petticoats
that are nearly so, and matinee frocks
which are finished without even so
much as a frill at the neck or col
lar are the sort which all but the most
questionable adopt.
Two-thirds of the lingerie is hand
embroidered and in forms that the
needlewoman can easily copy at home
Many women with much leisure
time are doing this fine work on the
summer frocks which they previously
purchased already embroidered

Dare to Be Happy.

Let us never be afraid of innocent
Joy; God is good and what he does Is
well done; resign yourself to every
thing, even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, of detachment, of
remuneration, and above all, for the
spirit of JOY and gratitude, that gen
uine and religious optimism which
sees in God a Father, and asks no
pardon for his benefits, We must
dare to be happy and dare to confess
1t, regarding ourselves always as the
repositories, not as the authors of our
own joy.-Amiel

on q fine frock of marquisette, which
texture washes like a rag, and very
often the needlework in heavy blocks
will contain half a dozen rich colors.
A deep red, blue of the most intense
sort, black, orange, mahogany and
green are tints that appear in this
needlework, which, whether hand or
machine made, is called Bulgarian en-
broidery. Of course the small frockS
so treated need to be dry-cleaned as
the vivid trimming used cannot be
counted on to stand the rigors of the
washtub.
Nevertheless, many little lawn
and linen frOck may show needlework
in one or three of these rich colors,
and if the garment comes from first
class place-perhaps shop that
makes a speciality of Juvenile wear
It is pretty likely to be warranted as
washable.
With the bordered musiins, lawns,
swisseS and challies.-for challie is in
Guided among the wash materials-the
contrasting banding will be used with
charming effect at the bottom of little
skirts, about the cut-out neck and at
the edge of sleeves. All white frocks
are seen in plenty and surely nothing
could be sweeter for very young chill
dren, but when the child has passed
FIVE a touch of color is newer, and it is
apt to appear if only in the form of rib
bon knots and sashes.
AS to design, the garments of the
girl of seven, perhaps, are pretty apt
to show some of the lines Of her nam
mas frocks, for kimono cuts are used
for bodices and there are many little
one-piece gowns almost identical in
line with those for grown-ups The diff
ference comes in an easy width of the
skirt. in a decolletage of the neck and
in very short sleeves, all raiment dis
tinctly for summer wear showing these
last points.
Models for the timer children have
the babyish features suited to pudgy
infantile figures, and with the dress
up wash frock it is pretty much the
rage to have the child look as much
like a French doll as possible. The
long bodice and skirt-that is no more
than tiny fiounce with edge some
times falling short of the child's knees
still comprise the favored model,
but instead of the distinct sleeve the
bodice portion of the smart garment
is cut in one with these details. In
fact. it is well nigh impossible to es-
cape the kimono influence, and al
though it may be run in the ground
after awhile for the moment it is all
powerful.
Among the accessories for little girls
are delightful aprons. which, since they
are skirt length, may be used on a hot
day In the house or country without a
frock. These graceful and important
details may be of the plainest linens or
ginghams, but mothers who like the
neatness and coquetry of the apron
often turn out cunning little affairs of
dotted swiss with lace edges for wear
vfth quite fine frocks.

KIND but Careless.

John P Irish, the San Francisco
orator and of1ceholder, was entertain
ing Joaquin Miller, the poet, one
night. Upon hearing a particularly
funny story by the host the poet fell
off his chair in a paroxysm of mirth
Irish thought the poet had seizure
of some kind and he rushed to the
sideboard, took bottle of whisky and
stuck the top of it into Millers mouth
hoping to revive him.
Presently Miller waved his hands
feebly and Irish removed the bottle.
What is it?" asked Irish solicitous-
ly.
Remove the cork" whispered the
poet, hoarsely, Remove the cork!"-

An unusual incident marked a re-

ed in the cellar of ffve-story tene-
ment and before it was extinguished
the IS families in the building and all
the firemen were weeping copiously
from infiamed eyes. In the cellar
many bags of onions had been stored.
The chief fireman allowed the tenants
to remain in the building, assuring
them that the fire was confined to
the cellar. They did not stay, how
ever, when the onions had got well
afire.

That is a great mistake.
Van Camps is fully twice better for

Raw milk always separates, for the
butter fat rises and the solids fall So
raw milk used in cooking is rarely
whole milk.
In Van Camps you get the whole

the solids belonging to the richest
