Making PipIngs.

AS pipings are SO fashionable and
form a part OF the finish OF almost
every gown. II is well to know how
they should be made. For a quarter
of an inch piping cut the material into
bias strips an inch and a quarter
wide. and for wider pipings Increase
the width accordingly. Fold these
strips through the center lengthwise
and haste close to the fold.
Under the part TO be plped lay the
folded strip, allowing a quarter OF an
inch to show. and three-quarters OF an
inch for the seam. After the piping is
basted I'm place. stitch II as close to
the edge as possible.
When a narrower piping is wanted
the goods is cut accordingly; but be
sure To see that there is a good three
eighths of an inch allowed for the
seam.

Coats for Summer.

White is TO be fashionable this sum-
mer, sand nothing is prettier than a
white cloak White satin evening
cloaks faced with black are smart. but
not practical as compared with the
same style OF coat In lightweight
cloth. These coats should be cut on
some loose model. and can be trimmed
or plain The sailor collar and revers
OF velvet covered with heavy lace are
effective. but they are equally effective
of plain velvet. and velvet for the
moment seems more In favor than
satin as trimming. Heavy embroidery
and braiding around the bottom Of the
coats. with the same trimming re-
peated on the wide turned-back cuffs
and sailor collar. make the garment
most elaborate. Sometimes the revers
are faced with satin. not velvet. and
this obviates the too heavy effect OF
so much braiding and embroidery.
which always looks stiff.-Harper's
