Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Purple is one Of the colors most dis
eliminated against as trying to wear, but
If made up with proper regard for this
disqualification 1t is not only smart, but
has the advantage of being exclusive. In
the capacity the model illustrated must
appeal very strongly, for while the purple
is used freely. its mingling with the yell
low-white batiste renders 1t as generally
becoming as any other color could be-
The skirt is of very deep cream-tinted
satin, while the tunic and frill about the
neck are of royal purple marquisette
plastron, under-tunic and sleeves of en-
broidered batiste and belt of purple satin.
The tunic appears complex but in reality
is simple enough, having been cut three
or four inches longer than its finished
length was intended to be, then shirred
across, and in shirring taken up bit,
producing a jabot effect in the material
that falls below.
The plastron is fashioned from batiste
fiouncing. the plain edges being hem
stitched. Hemstitching. which was little
used last season. is in again with a zest
unknown even to its former career. 1t
appears everywhere and very particularly
on chiffon fiounces.
Batiste is almost as popular in such de-
velOpments as this as it has been in sum-
mer frocks. but it is important in con-
nection with fall materials that it be of
the finest quality. Even sleeve ruffle of
batiste appears coarser in a satin sleeve
than in one of cotton while, as for the
small collars and bands, the rule is, IL
possible, even more emphatic.
Purchased at the counters, these ac-
cessories. when of even reasonably fine
quality, come high, but they can be made
at home out of the very finest materials
for less than the price of them in inferior
quality in the shops. One of the prett;est
collar models is a cross between the
square and the sailor collar. long on the
shoulders and rather narrow across the
back: then. IL desired. deep frill stretch
ing across the front completes it.
An old-fashion revived that will be
seen frequently in connection with the
one-color gowns brings in the full bishop
sleeves of exQuisitely fine batiste. They
will be extremely useful in finishing out
the short sleeves Of hmono persuasion,
now that long ones are in again. Usu-
ally they are made to stand out between
the elbow and the wrist through a lining
Of net. though some of them droop a bit
at the back instead.
1t cannot be said Of the bishop sleeve
that in itself 1t Is particularly graceful.

BY ELIZABETH LEE.

The pressed glass articles nowadays are
such good limitations of the real many
women prefer to use them for every day
rather than the more costly kind. In
the case of breakage there is much less
to regret.
But the cheaper glass must be kept in
good condition If it is to keep its bril-
liancy.
In fact, it requires the same care given
to cut glass.
Few women need to be told glassware
which has contained milk must be rinsed
in cold water before being put into the
hot. Hot water only makes the milk
stick more closely. and unless it is rinsed
Off in cold water the glass will be cloudy
even with careful washing in hot water.
The safer plan is to wash one piece of
glass at time. and in the case Of ex-
pensive cut glass a cloth should be laid
at the bottom of the dishpan as precau-
ton. Soapy articles are apt to slip from
the hand.
Two pans of water are necessary. One
will contain suds made from warm water
and a good white soap, the other warm
water containing few drops of ammonia.
Most women know glassware must be
wiped dry while still warm. AS this
means it is also wet-not being allowed to
drain-plenty of towels are necessary If
there are many pieces to be cleansed.
Some people claim glassware is made
more brilliant If it is first rinsed in warm
water and then in cold. the articles be-
ing allowed to become dry of themselves.
Personally, I have not found the plan a
success, but 1t is worth trying. Others
may be able to do it successfully and
thereby save time and towels.
Cloths for wiping glass should be with
out lint. soft linen towel is excellent.
afterward polishing with an old silk hand
kerchief. Tissue paper also makes a
good polisher. A soft brush should be
finally used which will penetrate the cut
tngs.
Bottles. decanters, etc. may be cleaned
by dropping crushed egg shells into them
with the soapy water. This is a safe

CARE OF GLASSWARE.

method. Potato peel, also bits of paper,
may be used in the same way. For
coarser glassware or for very bad stains
handful of tacks or shot will be ef-
fective. If the stains refuse to bulge,
then a weak solution of the commercial
muriatic acid will remove them. The yes
sci should be thoroughly rinsed after
cleaning with the acid.
When decanters or glass bottles have
musty odor. they may be sweetened
by mixing little powdered charcoal
rinsing.
A box of jewelers. sawdust Is an ex-
cellent thing to have in the pantry.
After the glass is washed it should be
packed into the Sawdust for final drying.

Smart NeCkWear.

Robespierre collars In spotted net, in
fine lawn and in plain white muslin. deco
rated with lace frills and Insertions. will
lend a fresh and dainty charm to the
washing frocks as we'll as to the tailor
made gowns which will be worn all
through August: and every day or SO
these collars seem to be brought out in
some new form. One of the pI Iettiest of
all has a second collar of sailor shape un-
der turn-down band, and then in front. in
place of the usual revers, there are some
.-ery full frills of muslin edged with lace,
and arranged in groups of three on either
side of a center box-pleat fastened with
crystal ball buttons.
Very effective, also, are the narrow
neckbands made of black velvet ribbon
and finished with deep frills Of pleated
lace, although they should be worn only
by those who are convinced that they are
doing wise thing in leaving their throats
uncovered.

Branded Peaches.

-Four pounds Of the best white peaches
They must be ripe and sound. Peel them
neatly and drop them into ice water. Put
into preserving kettle four pounds of
white loaf sugar, with about a pint Of
water-just enough to dissolve it. Let this
come to fast boil. Drain all the water
from the peaches and drop them at once
into the boiling sirup. The object of lay
ing the fruit in cold water is to preserve
the color. The air darkens them Boil
them five minutes in the srup after the
bubble recommences.
Then take them out with a perforated
skinner and lay with care mot to bruise
or break them) upon bread dishes. not so
close together as to crowd one another,
while you let the sirup boil down thick
and clear. 1t will take, perhaps twenty
minutes Take off the scum as 1t rises
to the top. Take the kettle from the fire
when the boil is furious. add a pint of
best brandy. Peach brandy is best II
you cannot get that, use the best old
French brandy) Pack the peaches in
jars, pour the hot sirup over them, and
fit on the tops.
IF after the fruit is taken from the fire
and spread upon the dishes a reddish
liquor should exude from them drain it
off before putting the fruit into the Jars
1t will cloud the sirup, which should be of
a clear amber color 1t Is best to put
the peaches into glass jars. Roll these in
hot water before filling them, and the
boiling sirup will not crack them.

For the Athletic Girl.

A blouse. cut kimono fashion, and
skirt slightly gored to allow freedom Of
movement are the ideal garments for the
athletic girl. These are joined together
at the waist. and long bretelles that form
straps from hem to hem cross the shoul-
ders by way Of trimming. With a deep
stitched hem and a stitched belt we have
an admirable model for the athletic girl
who wants to look trim and to enjoy
freedom of movement untrammelled by
superfluous trimming. In khaki linen this
is light and cool. and to run up'' such
a dress means only q few hours of work
to the expert home dressmaker.

Among some of the prettiest dresses
prepared for the holiday season are
those in white or cream color or pale
lemon with Indian or Persian borders.
Sometimes the border Is very wide. al
most a quarter of a yard. and these are
cleverly arranged to cross the front of
the skirt at a slight angle. and then to
form the trimming of the bodice. A very
lovely tea gown is made in this fashion.
