IL meeting with some success, but
trimming of this kind is more appro-
pirate and pretty on thin summer frocks
than on those of heavier materials. The
set in sleeve and a return to the nat
ural waist line are also evidences of a
new fashion standard In one of the
illustrations there is a hint of the pass
ing of the straight skirt line, and the
tunic of accordion plated chiffon seen
in this frock. looped over trailing
skirt with knots of ribbon, is decided
innovation.
But to come back to the waist line.

ton line where 1t is most becoming to
their customers. For the French wo-

man is short and dumpy, as a rule, and
the raised waist line gives her greater
length, but the American woman has
such a graceful figure that she can
safely allow her dressmaker to take
liberties with 1t.

! BRIDES LINEN OUTFIT !
A Fair Estimate OF the Linen
That She Will Need
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A BRIDES outfit is generally expect
ed to contain all of the linen nee
essary for the house or apartment un-
less this be beyond her means to pro-
vide.
So frequently does the perplexing
question present itself as to just what
the household will need to start with
in the way OF linen that it may prove
helpful here to give a list for the linen
closet.
Starting with the dining room, 1t is
well to provide one handsome table,
cloth, which will seat large number
comfortably. This should be three or
four yards in length and of pure white
damask and cost anywhere from 50 to
IS a yard. For this cloth one dozen
large dinner napkins should be bought
to match.
Two other good cloths of shorter
length, say two and half OF three
yards. all white, at not more than 81 a
yard, with napkins; then for ordinary
wear three half bleached cloths at $3.50,
with two dozen napkins and a dozen
tea napkins. In addition to these a ST.
lence cloth of felt will be required.
| Many sundries are needed to COM
plete the attractive appearance of the
dining room in the way of linen carv-
er's cloth, sideboard and carving table
covers. table centerpieces, doilies, and
so on. and IL is well to remember in Sc
Ilecting the linen that medium heavy
Twill give best wear-not only that, blu,
1t is easiest to hemstitch or embroider.
For the bedrooms a fair allowance 1,
two counterpanes three pairs of pillow,
leases. three pairs of sheets, q dowr
comforter. pair of light summer bian,
kets and one heavy blanket for each
bed.
The towel supply for bedrooms ant
bath should consist of one dozen buck
aback and four or six Turkish batl
towels, also dozen little guest towels
For the kitchen a generous provision
includes six linen dish towels, six glas
towels. six pot cloths, six dishcloths
three floor cloths and six cheeseclotl
busters.

and decayed vegetable matter to sup
ply the necessary ingredients for the
growth of flowers. The ideal condition
Of a soil is one which resembles a
sponge and in which it will retain the
greatest amount of nutritive sub
stances and water without losing its
capacity for absorbing air.
1t is not always easy for the beginner
to know how much fertilizer to use. for
the ground can be overfed as well as
underfed.
For the average flower garden stable
or barnyard manure is sufficient. In
using stable manure two barrowfuls to
a square rod Is ample, but use some
what less il barnyard manure Is used.
So much for the practical side of the
garden question; then comes the inter
esting part, the selection Of the varie-
ties to be used. A few among the many
are the four o'clocks. candytufts. bache-
lor's buttons, delphiniums or larkspurs,
dicentra or bleeding hearts. the vale
rian, foxglove or digitaiis. the lupinus,
the morning glory. love in mist, gall
lardia, helianthus or small sunfiower,
the columbine, the peoples, dianthus,
the bell flower and the well known
hollyhock standing sentinel over all.

* An Old Fashioned Garden %k

THE real old fashioned garden is not
the up to date old fashioned border
laid out in stately rows like well
planted patchwork quilt, but the real
old heterogeneous mass of bloom and
foliage that used to meet the eye in our
granny's garden.
Whatever ideas you have entertained
about stiff borders and formal garden
iayouts will vanish utterly under the
spell this garden casts around you. In
stead of the orderly stiffiy designed
flower beds one finds great banks of
phlox, clumps of peonies. trellises Of
sweet peas and banks of nasturtiums.
BY this is not meant an i'll kept, over
grown weedy affair, not by any means,
for this garden must be weed free.
Weeds must not get the advantage, but
must be rooted out in earnest and
burned. Then the garden must not have
too much or too little water. A garden
on a southern slope is an ideal site.
Then there is plenty of air and plenty
OF drainage, both necessary to the
growth of flowers.
Every one who owns garden gets to
know that dirt is not soil. The earth
must be composed of sand and clay

That Stitch In Time

NO wonder the stitch in time fails to
be taken when sewing appliances
are not handy. The woman who must
hunt for a needle and thread frequent
ly neglects to use them as she should.
There are various contrivances for
sewing conveniences, and no woman
should be without a well equipped sew
ing table or box in her room.
Chief in beauty also in cost, is the
mahogany sewing table on colonial
lines The most convenient of these
has the two end wings, where stockings
and large pieces of mending can be
tucked. One with an extra shelf in the
top has compartments for spools of diff
ferent sizes and sections for buttons

just returned from abroad. Her new
little house, therefore. has been covered

THE following candy recipes are al
ways to be relied upon for success,
as they are uncooked. and a failure is
almost impossible:
Fondant.-Do not beat the whites of
the eggs. Drip the whites of two eggs
into a small granite pan. Stir into this
confectioner's sugar gradually until
thick enough to work like cream fon-

vary according to the size OF the eggs.
Usually two pounds are sufficient. In

well.
slab or a smooth board over which you
have sprinkled some of the sugar.
Work it for few minutes. Divide the
cream into three or four rolls. II the
cream should be too thick to work cas-
lily, few drops of milk or water will
make 1t soft enough to mold. With this
cream as a foundation many fancy can
dies may be made. Below are a few
suggestions which have all been tried.
If one wants to make several kinds Of
candy it will be necessary to use a
larger amount of fondant than given
above.
Fruit coloring in orange and straw
berry can be used to make candies.
Half a pound of dates stuffed with the
cream IN three colors will make quite a
large plate. IL seeded dates are used
it will save work.
Chop a few dates and figs together
and work into the cream. Roll out and
cut in half inch pieces.

the styles of the ffties are returning in
a modified form. The slim lines of to-
day are retained, but the draped effects
of long ago adapted to the present sill
houette are much in evidence.

this season almost created a panic by

and most unattractive. For you must
know that artificial blooms of all va
rieties are worn this year as bouton-
nieres on the coat and corsage, and
stiff little punches of kitchen garden
posies are the smartest for this pur-
pose. Extremists in the old fashion
revival even go to the length of sur
rounding these small punches of flow
ers with a lace paper case, the kind
florists used to place around the flow
ers carried by antebellum bellies. The
shops have these old fashioned posies
put up in little boxes in most attrac-
tive gift form.

The Pendent Purse

A WOMAN will keep her money any
a where, from the inside of her
stocking to the lining of her hat. The
latest fancy, however, is to carry her
purse around her neck in the form of a
lavalliere.
Tiny purses of gold net. with studded
border of brilliants and fastening with
a twisted clasp on top are worn on
thin gold chain like a pendant.

New Use For Wells

1t was a clever woman with a little
daughter to dress who, when copying
French model with hemstitching at
the tunic borders and in other parts.
bethought her of the possibilities of
hemstitched chiffon wells. They come
in lovely colors and are long enough
and wide enough for tunic effect.

A Combination Salad.-Take a bunch
of celery. half a pound Of stoned dates
and half q pound OF almost any kind
of nuts except almonds. Chop these
ingredients into small pieces, and when
they have been well mixed add the pulp
of three grapefruit. Arrange on crisp
lettuce leaves and dress with mayon-
naise.

drove fragments weighing twenty-five
pounds through the walls of the store. So

Every pane OF glass was broken by the
shock, but residents living only a block
away did not even hear the explosion.

of one hundred feet. Fragments Of silver
