PEN PAINTING AS A
NEW FANCY WORK

Ii is some time since pen painting was
introduced in this country. but it is only
lately that its possibilities as a decoration
are becoming known. The appea rance of
the work when finished is just like that
of raised ribbon work embroidery. and is
very pretty and effective while the work
itself is most fascinating to perform.
The decoration of silk frames and
cushions is only part of its possibilities
for pen painting is now used a good deal
for embrodering the corsage and hens
of evening dresses. Some most beautiful
examples of this have been seen-large
crimson rose sprays and tiny wreaths of
forget-me-nots and other little flowers.

equally well.
Linen and bold pinafores take this form

such smooth surfaces as satin. silk or
fine crepe de chine are the most suita BILE

White satin with pen-painted patterns
also may be used for centers with good
effect, but the gauge is better from the
point of view of the laundering. Satin
would. of course, have to be cleaned.
Sets of doiies can be worked in this ar
tistic manner to match the centers.
The paint applies admirably also to vel

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

The "curate" coat which came out last
winter in serges is being carried out In
linens and silks for warmer weather wear
While the linen suits are very smar;
looking, I fancy silk will not be success.
You see, the design is so very plain and
silk seems to need fussier treatment or
trimming of some kind, and to trim cur
ate coat would destroy its charm. Need
less to say. l suppose, that the model
should only be adopted by girlish figures
showing height and slenderness.
One of the smartest models in linen
suit carrying out the curate> effects is
seen in a dark blue linen trimmed with a
shade of Copenhagen blue. The skirt
smoothly fitting. buttons down the entire
length both back and front and is trim
med on the bottom with a narrow hem
of the lighter shade. The coat is perfect
ly straight. fitting the shoulders and end
ing just below the line of the hip.
This, too, buttons from throat to lower
edge The sleeves are quite plain and
three-qparter length. fold of the linen
finishes the neck and runs down the coat,
closing under the buttons and button
holes A similar fold trims the sleeve
edges. The buttons are of the darker
linen and the cords passing over them of
the lighter shade. Possibly the design
might be carried out successfully in one
of the white wash satins, hemming with
Dldck OF Color, as preferred. L MS ITi1I-
ming could be removed and replaced with
out very much trouble when necessary to
tub the garment, and If one had two or
three sets of trimming it would give
variety. These wash satins are very
fashionable and are much cooler than
linen, 1t is claimed. At the beginning of
the season white washable corduroy was
heralded as the summer fabric for skirts
and suits, but satin seems to be prefer

success. but 1t should be all white, L
order. The simplicity of the design would
be lost were it carried out in other than
a solid color. Even the trimming should
be plain
Taffeta is the very last material that
should be chosen for this kind of suit or
even for separate coat This weave of
silk requires shirrings, ruchings or tucks
in its development always. A pretty little
coat made up from taffeta for wear over
thin frocks is cut sleeveless, the armholes
very wide. The neck is cut low and fin
ished with taffeta collar overlaid with
one Of lingerie. The closing is down the
center. From the waist line the fronts
are cut rather sharply away. The back
is straight and just covers the hips
The collar. armhoes and edges of the
coat are trimmed with ruchings of the
silk and two ornaments also fashioned
from the silk. decorate the closing. Fash
Toned from one of the changeable tat
fetas this model would be a charming as
we'll as a practical addition to a summer
toilet 1t is a design, too, that could be
worn by the average figure.

Concerning Panniers.

Panniers are worn and they are not
worn; they have been adopted by the slim
and avoided by people whose proportions
do not fulfill the popular broomstick ideal.
1t is still possible to wear a straight
sheath, guiltless of any attempt at drap-
cry. without running the risk of being
mobbed. For although one may be more
in the swim when attired in draggled
knots. nothing prevents one. If so minded,
from ignoring these decorations.
The pannier is not obligatory because our
dressmakers have realized at last that
they are expected to design for all sorts,
all conditions and all ages of women. Hith-
erto they have labored with love for one
type only-a type which was invaria bly,
slim, beautiful and twenty or Whereabouts.
But II panniers are not obligatory they
are likely to be short-lived. at any rate in
the best, that is to say in the smartest af-
fections. They have ceased already to be
strictly exclusive. for the big stores have
fallen upon the idea and developed the
pannier in their usual wholesale, whole
hearted fashion.
At novelty shop in Paris. where the
genius of Paris finds its most popular ex-
preston, they will sell YOU an ingeniously
constructed set Of paniers hanging from
a belt, with a Marie Antoinette fichu to
match. One need hardly enlarge on the
possibilities of the idea. Thanks to one
solitary set. may rejuvenate a ward

Take one sheath skirt and colorless bod

tanetas and you will produce the correct
eighteenth century touch at a trif1ing cost
with Very little trouble. Unfortunately,
the people who count are not likely 10
approve of these rough and ready metz
DDS. They will not smile on an eighteenth
century which can be bought in a box
so to speak, in all the fashionable colors.

Some New Models.

The fashion of having the two sides OF
bodice unlike holds its own and is oc-
casonally very picturesque. One of these
has a trained skirt in black satin. with
the bodice of filmy cream-colored SILK
muslin on one side. the other side, with
the short sleeve, composed of thickly en-
broidered opalescent thin silk The
sleeves are of the kimono order, and are
edged with opalescent Ids. In this
case the bodice completely covers the
shoulders. and ends in a neckband of en-
broidery similar to that on the bodice.
very lovely gown has the two sides
of the bodice dissmilar being in
orange silk crepe, extremely fine and sup
pie, draped from the right shoulder across
to the left side of the waist while the
other sleeve and half of the bodice are in
finest pale gray crepe. sewn with very
small pearls. In this instance the skirt
is in crepe de chine, in the exact tone of
gray with that on the bodice.

How TO Have Successful PARTIES
By Ruth Cameron.

"Why. OH why aren't my parties ever
real successes like Gretchen's?" walled a
detected hostess the morning after she
had given little function Il work my
self most to death TO have everything
enjoy themselves as they do at Gretchen's
house. and she never takes half the trou-
BILE | do.
We all know that there are some homes
where we always seem to have a good
time. no matter how simple the fare or
how commonplace the entertainment pro-
vided and others where we do not have
half the pleasure. even though the fare
may be sumptuous and the entertainment
most elaborate.
Now. why is it? What makes one
party be success and another fall fiat?
Well, for one thing, | think this defect
ed hostess put her finger on her chief
mistake when she said she worked her
self almost to death to make her party
a success. Doubtless that was the very
reason why 1T was nearer failure. A
spic and span house. an elaborate pro-
gram and the most delicious fare will not
counteract the depressing influence of
hostess who tries yainly to hide her
anxiety and her WEAKNESS under a
forced gayety. Remember that you your
self are a part of your entertainment.
The original idea of entertaining, an idea
which has been buried under the clap
trap we have piled upon 1t, is that your
guests come to see you. If you can
bring cordialty and good cheer and a
genuine gayety to your guests, you will
go a long way toward making your party
success. And you cannot do that If
your feet ache and your nerves are fraZ-
zied and you are thoroughly weary and
dispirited because of your overanxious
efforts to ha We everything Just so.

Long Silk Coats.

The long, black silk coat with sleeves to
the wrist is one of the most comforta BILE
as we'll as one of the smartest garments
of the season. 1t Is usually trimmed with
fiat bias folds of the same material. but
as a rule the trimming is confined to the
top of the back. the top of the sleeves and
the wrists, and perhaps a couple of
dainty fiat pockets. Almost useless these
are, as no one with any regard for fash
ion dare make them bulge with even the
latest handkerchief or the tinest purse
The form of these coats is straight up
and down from under the arms, and the
fastenings are usually fiat loops of cord
with large buttons covered with MORE
silk. All the new coats have rundown
collars. and it is optional with the wearer
to have a rundown collar to the dress or
blouse beneath, or to have one high to
the ears.
