WRITING PAPER


Among the smartest fashions in
monogram paper is the oblong car
touche with three small block letters
or quaint old English ones in centre.
The design background and letters are
printed in opalescent colors that give
the effect of mother-of-pearl.
This marking is used at the upper left
hand corner or directly in the middle
of the front page. 1t is expensive; the
design and the stamping alone cost
sixty cents a quire.
Block letters never go out of favor,
but a rather new use of them is to
have them very tiny and placed in the
centre of a small square or oblong.
The initials, which are shaped to form
oval, circular or diamond designs by
their grouping. are still good though
not entirely new. These are printed
in one, two or three colors, and are
stylish and less conspicuous in self
tones to match the paper. They are
used both at the left hand side and
corne though the former is favored.
Quite new for those who are not
conservative is the last initial of The
name alone printed as a raised letter at
the left hand corne This is from one
to two inches long.

to it two quarts of water, a crushed
knuekle of veal bone, one large onion
in which has been stuck three cloves.
two bay leaves. half a crushed nut
meg, a stalk Of celery, and three or four
parsley roots. Bring to the boiling de-
gree, close the soup-pot and stand 1t
where its contents will simmer gently
four hours. Then remove the bones and
the 1avorings and rub the barley
through the fine sieve, using consider
able pressure. The broth can be used
to molsten the barley during the pro-
cess. Then return it to another sauce
pan--a smaller one, and put it on the
stove. Add to it a cupful of boiling
milk and a tablespoonful of butter,
Stir until it is very hot, then add half
a can each of green peas and string
beans, pour into the hot tureen and

menus, but can give you general rules

iced) water through the day. Avoid all
rich pastries and greasy foods. Do not
eat between meals. The ice-crearl-
soda habit is often the cause of a bad
complexion. Eat plenty of green things,
fresh peas, spinach and other vege-
tables, and use lots of olive oil on your
salads. Olive oil is an excellent tonic
in itself. Eat fresh fruits in the morn
ing. Experiment with tomatoes and

POINTS ON NECKWEAR.


Both high and low neckwear is be-
ing shown in the new styles. At last
the Parisienne has come yer to the
low collar, and SO now we have all the
new models in this variety as well as
you have. There is absolutely no
choice between the high and low ef-
fects, becomingness being, as is right,
the only guide.
Extremely large sailor collars, fol-
lowing those used last season as dress
trimmings, will be seen. These are in
plain or colored linene or in pique, and
are often hand-embroidered. Some
have elongated ends, that are crossed
in a deep V point and are frequently
finished with a fancy jabot or tie.
Round and shawl collars follow the lead
of the sailor collar in this particular.
Collars of the Trouville type are cut
in square outline in front and are m
bellished with hand-embroidery. in
white or colors, and with straight scroll
fagoting. The same trimming is seen
in the new etons, only IL inches wide,
and square of linen or crocheted rings
are introduced intoA them also.

6732-Six-gored Skirt, % to 80 waist.
Linen trimmed with eyelet embroid-
cry makes some of the prettiest gowns
that the season has to offer. This one
is simple yet smart. consequently it is
available for many uses. The linen is
in one of the beautiful buff shades and
the banding is white, and such a conf
bination is always attractive. Quite a
different effect could be obtained by
the use of banding in self color or by
h substitution of heavy lace; or, if
something simpler we're wanted, the
skirt could be left plain. Embroidery
worked on to the material is extreme
ly fashionable, and the gown. made OF
linen, with the front gore and the
blouse embroidered by hand, would be
distinctly different from the one Illus
trated and eminently fashionable. Color
on white is being much used this sea-
son n the work could be done in COL
ored thread or in white outlined with
color, such effects being much In vogue
For everyday wear the model could
be utilized for poplin or for such thin
ner materials as batiste and lawn and
made without trimming. h blouse Is
a simple one that can be made with
full sleeves of three-quarter length, or
plain sleeves that extend to the wrists.
The skirt is six-gored. The front and
back cores give the OBJECT OF box plaits
and there are inverted plaits at the
sides that provide comfortable fulness.
For the medium size the blouse will
require 3ss yards of material 81 inches
wide, or IA yards A inches wide; for
the skirt will be needed IA yards 81, or
81 yards A inches wide. To trim the
blouse will be needed IA yards; to trim
the skirt 5 yards of banding.
