Gasoline and Paint.
Many good renOvators pin their faith
to dye made with gasoline and tube
paints. One may secure every shade of
color simply by adding more or less of
the paint to the gasoline. For plumes,
wings. laces, ribbons. ETC., take one quart
of gasoline and one tube of paint the de-
sired color Put in only little of the
paint at first and mix thoroughly. If the
color is too light add paint until the right
shade is secured. If too deep, add gaso-
line. Test by dipping in a piece of cloth.
When coloring plumes. hold them by the
stems and keep moving them in the dye
until they are thoroughly and evenly COW
cred, then shake them in the air until
the gasoline dries and the feather be-
comes fluffy again. Be careful not to use
the gasoline near a fire or exposed light.
White or cream colored ribbons Or flow

be given beautiful shrimp pink by dip

dropped. the amount of the latter being
determined by the depth of the color de-
sired. Ordinary liquid wash bluing used
in the same way will tint feathers, wing,

very dainty and charming. One of your

ultra fashionable function with a crystal

the most admired in the room. and that,
incidentally, was designed strictly to her

white satin Of the same enhancing blue
white tone as the Opalescent crystals
with which 1t was combined, ard made
with narrow skirt and a narrow sur
plice corsage. The satin was draped
down the sides and drawn down to a
point at about knee depth at the center
back, whence it fell in a fan-shaped train
crossed with a bard of ermine at the
end. A similar band held the skirt in at
the knees directly above the front, at
the same time combining a loose panel of
net closely run with straight lines of
crystal beads.
The net was caught under that it
pouched a very little over the con-
filming band of fur. while the satin
drapery from the sides closed over it
in such way that the line from the
waist, where it started. to the tip of the
train was continuous and most graceful.
There was a girdle of satin, and then,
above it, over the surplice foundation of
the satin, the crystal net draped with
apparent careleSsness. The sleeves were
short, plain and banded with the fur

Though elaborate in effect this frock is

last moment, SO the babies toast was
naturally given to him, and the old fellow
was shifted to a toast on the ladies IN

He spoke very well, and after he sat
down a comedian said to his aged wife:
How well your husband acquitted
himself!
But she, poor old dear. was very deaf.
She hadn't heard a word Of the toast.
WHAT? she said.
How well your husband spoke on the
ladiesr bawled the comedian.
Oh yesr she said. and she added, un-
aware that the toast had been changed:
He's so fond Of them! I've som etimes
