be successfully accomplished.

with spirits OF wine: but the ingeni.

his medium. and so 1t has remained

A Good Hint.

In an emergency. where one has to
evolve fancy" costume with little
time and apparently less material.
something very lovely can be made Of
several of the beautiful evening scarfs.
either the spangled ones or plain ones.
Nearly every woman will possess
scarf of one kind or another and these
can be borrowed. as no damage need
be done to them. Over white dress
hang two or more OF the silver span
gled ones. so that they fall from the
shoulders down as far as possible on
either side Then wind others about
the hips and around the head. cross
ing a piece over the forehead and an
other over the chin and lower part of
the face. The eastern effect is grace
full and usually very becoming.

White Felt Hats.

Although every one may not accept
the fashion for white felt hats in hot
weather. it is probable that they will
be the first choice as soon as the cool
weather comes back They will make
admirable early fall hats. simply trim
med. with bow of black velvet or
taffeta ribbon.
One should not attempt to put any
thing ornate on them. although 1t Is

Every one Of them have long
strings OF black velvet which are tied
at the side and at the back and have
thin long ends floating. or caught with
a jeweled pin high over the bust and
on the left side.
The sleeve" string Ia simply a very
long loop Of broad velvet ribbon.
through which the arm is slipped. 1t
