mist. white lace waists or models of
net and lace combined are very prac-
teal, az they are not only dressy, but,
at the same time, give good service.
The finer patterns are particularly at
tractive, especially In the shadowy va
riety, while the imitation Carmickma-
Cross. Cluny and filet are very effective
in popular and medium-priced gar
ments. Tucked net alternating with
broad inserts Of lace Is an effective
combination used In models from five
dollars up at retail. China silk, net,
soft pompadour silks and chiffon
are favorite materials for the Innings,
as the vogue for transparent effects
creates a demand for waists with lin
ings Of very lightweight material.

FOR THE SCHOOLGIRL
CLASSROOM AND STREET STYLES
IN THE VOGUE.
Principal of Fashionable Boarding
School Practically Dictates What
Should Be Worn-Useful and
Pretty Norfolk Jacket.

There is a fashionable boarding
school in New York which prescribes
to the last garment the sort OF
clothes the boarding misses must
wear. The principal reserves the right
to send back the garments which
strike her as too elaborate for school
life, and whether the girls parents are
m~illionaires or not it matters little.
One-piece stuff frocks, and plain fan
mel and wash blouses, with suitably
plain skirts for classroom wear, a
tailored suit or a wool dress for street
wear. a muslin dance frock and N
inexpensive silk or yelling gown
these are all the costumes allowed. AS
to the favor Of them, it is simplicity
~personifed. And since the principal
Of this school Is a power In the So
cial and business world there are moth
ers and shops copying her ideas for
high school and college use, with here

REVIVAL OF THE TINY BOW
Novelty VIII Play an Important Part
In tho Fashions to Be Seen
in Coming Months.

The use of small bows on the latest
models represent a very special nov
city, or rather revival, and will play
an immensely important part during
the coming months. Although they
are usually associated with the early
eighties, they have appeared in many
dress schemes before that time, and
In the old pictures Of crinoline days
one sees not a few gowns treated in
this fashion, the bows starting on the
corsage and being carried all down
the front.
For evening wear they give a par
ticularly dainty finish to some Of the
the season, as, for instance, on a
charming frock Of pearl-white char
meuse, to the corsage Of which are
affixed full panniers of gaily pattern
ed pompadour silk covered with bou-
quets of rose-colored blossoms. These
panniers are rather ingeniously lifted
behind, where they are crossed and
carried upwards to be fastened on the
shoulder blades in the style of a Wat
teau pleat. The white satin under
dress which ts visible below the pan
niers, is apparently closed by a SER
ried row of imitation pearls used as
buttons and set In little bows of pale
forget-me-not blue velvet.
This toilette, although 1t presents
some difficulty for the dressmaker on
account Of the lifted panniers, is very
becoming, and shows a decidedly orig
inal trend Of fashion as compared with
the styles of the past months.

the top garment Of a species OF suit
made entirely of one fabric. A blue
flannel dress, with a blouse in this
style and a little skirt with circular
back and front and one or two invert-
ed plaits at the sides, would be an
excellent scheme for class use, and 1t
would be cheap enough, as three yards
and a half Of double-width flannel
would make tho dress. and good
stitching II all that Ia required for
the trimming.
Where a girls school frocks are
limited in number, as they are likely
to be in most schools, 1t is a great
protection to the front breadth OF the
skirt, which gets the bulk Of the wear
and tear, to wear a small black silk
apron or one matching the color Of
the dress. Such aprons are very tiny
affairs, with a drawstring casing at
the top-put below a narrow hem
and q deep hem at the bottom. They
can be fastened on with strings or
with shlrtwaist pins, and az soil slips
easily from silk they have a nice ap-
pearance for q long time. Boarding
school girls are quite adept at making
these pretty aprons. doing the work
ut odd moments and treating the
aprons intended az Christmas or birth
day gifts for girl friends to very
dainty ~needlework and pinked frills.

French Shoes Are Smart.

A critic Of woman's dress was
asked what first struck him about
French women, and his reply was the
smartness Of their ~footgear, for they

he had noted the exquisite. shapely,

form, and their practical purpose ia

can say where the bees come from,
although beekeepers in the neighbor-
ing suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers. Bee experts say they
may come from many miles around.
The remarkable thing is that al
though this M particular factory has
been honored by these armies of WIS.,
tiers for ten years two mineral water

A FOR TWO.

A small chicken, costing sixty or
seventy cents, is not an extravaganza
for the small householder who likes to
buy economically, for a chicken may
be used for several meals; of course,
the number depending upon how much
is eaten.
A few pieces, like the wings, a Sec
ond joint " q leg, If parboiled and
then fried in butter, will, with the
gravy and mashed or baked potatoes
make a most satisfactory meal. Re-
move the chicken when it is tender
and brown, to a small platter, arrang.
ing the pieces as nicely as possible;
add a tablespoonful of fiour to the
pan in which the chicken was fried,
and when 1t Is well Drowned add a
cup of milk and seasonings. When
smooth and thick, strain into the gravy
boat. If the amount of meat seems
too meager, have a satisfying salad
and q hearty dessert, and the meal
will prove sufficient for almost any ap-
petite.
The giblets, II cooked slowly In a
cup Of water, then chopped aud added
to the broth with a little thickening
and cream, will make q sauce to serve
on buttered toast.
The back and neck may be used In
a stew with dumplings, making q
quantity sufficient even for a chance
visitor.
The breast may be sliced and served
cold, or make, with the addition 81
celery and a little good salad dress
ing, a most delicious salad for two.
Then, after all has been eaten, the
bones and gristle will make a small
tureen Of broth, which may be further
eked out by the addition of cream or
milk and a beaten egg.
One may, with careful planning.
have fried chicken two meals, stewed
chicken one meal, minced chicken on
toast, a salad or sliced cold breast of
chicken and q soup, which will have
the favor Of chicken, If other foods
are added to make it nourishing.
II one would make q two or three
pound fowl serve for three meals one
need not feel that they were too much
Of a luxury to enjoy often.
If one is fortunate enough to have
fresh mushrooms in one's own garden
or grounds, the combination Of chick
en- and mushrooms is especially deli
cious, each bringing out the favor OF
the other.
