When Travelling.

The girl who goes on a summer visit
with little baggage and small purse
often finds herself feeling very soiled and
crumpled before many days are over.
Especially is this the case when the
holiday takes the form of a little tour
abroad. 1t is difficult and expensive to
get washing done. and much baggage is
out Of the question, yet the strenuous
round Of sightseeing has it's effect on
ones clothes. and the fact Of being among
strangers does not in the least make lack
of daintiness excusable or more easily en-
dured.
A great friend at these times is a spirit
iron. Its cost, several dollars, may seem
a considerable item in the outfit, but will
soon be repaid in comfort, and there will
De no temptation to rush out and buy
(often quite unsuitable) blouses or scarfs
to substitute for the original crumpled
supply.
A muslin blouse, jabot or a few fine
handkerchtefs are easily washed out in
ones own room.
A bottle of soap jelly and another Of
gum water should be brought from home
This is made by dissolving gum arabic
crystalS-tWo ounces to a pint-in hot
water. 1t serves instead Of starch for the
muslin things. and besides can be used
to freshen up chiffon and gauze scarfs
and wells.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

For summer morning wear nothing
could more appeal to the woman of
taste and discretion in dress than the
simple mbroidery-trimmed dress of the
sketch Skirt and blouse are separated
by a belt of old blue satin. the frock
material being handkerchief linen of the
heavier quality. A Russian coat effect
is suggested by the application Of cut-out
embroidery, the edges of which are cut in
tiny sawteeth. The buttons are white
crochet, the frill of batiste, the collar OF
plain linen and as last and telling note
there are the two pink satin roses drop
ping out of the belt.
Practically all light, airy frocks have
touch Of color about them, with the
unusual shades, such as harrington"
red. FURNISHED brass, and the old-looking
blues and rose tones. Where an en-
broidery forms the belt or marks the
waist line it is apt TO be threaded with
velvet ribbon of one of these colors or
of black velvet. which is, after ALL more
favored than anything else. The medal
lions are much used for the purpose, a
belt of plain material like the gown being
first adjusted and then the medallions ar
ranged across 1t at regular intervals. the
ribbon then used to thread under them
and over the whole or a portion of the
belt itself
Very openwork embroidery, whether it
figures in panels. bands or in smaller
motifs, is ofen applied to a foundation
of pink or blue, and the color note sound
ed in that way, the belt being of the
color or of the plain material, as fancied.
Sometimes the buttons alone make a
sufficiently emphatic color note, for
quite remarkable effects are accom-
plished with buttons. of which the shops
show numerous novelties. / noticed one

role. The frock itself was linen again,
and there was plain skirt to which
were attached at intervals of four or
five inches embroidery fiounces five inches
wide. In the space between. one series

emily promiscuously arranged, but in
reality with some provision, for the
groups viewed together assumed q tri-
angular shape the base between the low
est flounce and the second one and the
top, a single button. Similarly, the mar
row-skirted jacket which bloused a bit
under the arms, but came down quite
straight over the bust to meet q buckle
that held the belt together, was decorated,
the single button being just below the
shoulders. 1t was very skillful treat
ment Of a suggestion that might easily

New Collars.

Collars in various aspects are creating
quite a little commotion in modistic CEN
tiers. In addition to the Apache, there
are the Robespierre and the Medicis, to-
eether with a straight upright affair that
terminates abruptly either side of the
front, leaving the throat exposed. Allied
with this usually is a little net and lace
guimpe, the lace Of the very filmiest char
acter, a softening line Of which is carried
up to temper the abrupt termination OF
this unique neck finish The contrast is
marked indeed between such an arrange
ment and the extremely decollete cut now
adopted.

SART0RIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee

In buying millinery the height. build.
age and the general appearance of the
wearer-to-be must be considered quite
as much as the color.
OF course, youthful faces will be much
easier to suit than those that have reach
ed or passed maturity; stu, even youth
full charms may be enhanced by the wise
selection of millinery. Girls who are
short must bear in mind wide brim will
cut their height. In the same measure
as wide brim detracts from the height,
so high crown will apparently increase
1t. This, however, when the crown
tapers toward the top. not when 1t is
heayy-whether round or square. These
will destroy balance and give the appear
ance of topheaviness.
brim that is broken in outline is kind
er to short woman than q brim that Is
perfectly straight all around for obvious
reasons.
1t is impossible to say just where this
break shall appear. The hat must be
tried on in order to find out.
The woman with ever such suspicion
of snub nose will certainly not call at
flares upward. The girl with the demure
looking face will look charming in the
close or slightly poked bonnet The
Dutch styles will suit her admirably.

flares decidedly at the side, but not In
the front
Mushroom shapes are becoming to the
nose retrousse type. but when the owner
is short, this dropping brim is apt to be
rather trying. When it is attempted
then both crown and trimming should be
as high as is consistent with present
fashions.
A dropping brim will be very becoming
to the long, too thin face. When the
lower part of the face is broad. then the
hat must be built out until it Is broader
than the face. If narrow or high the
face and head will resemble a wedge held
point upward.
When the face itself is wedgelike
medium sized, rather fiat hat will be be-
coming. A fluffy bow of some kind worn
under the chin will preserve the proper
balance.
A large, well-built turban will usually
suit the fat face when the owner is of
medium height, or is short. A tall per-
son. no matter what the shape of her
face may be or the type of her features.
must wear a large hat always. 1t should
be fairly fiat and never by any chance
really high. If unusually tall an all
black hat will be smarter than colored
one. Dropping plumes as a trimming,
also brims yelled or draped with soft
fabrics will suit this type.
Short women look well in turbans,

THE IRRELEVANT SEX
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Mrs. Emily Bishop, noted cham
pion of women, their rights and their
abilities. confessed the other day that in
one particular women are not the equal
OF the other sex. and that was In the
matter of relevancy of thought "wom-
en-" confessed Mrs. Bishop, ARE natu-
rally Irrelevant"
How about it, Mrs. American Woman?
Do you own the soft impeachment
really think you should
For although also am sturdy cham
pien OF my sex. must confess that also
have frequently been tried by the irrele-
vance Of womankind.
Let us play the harmless eavesdropper
at an average family dinner table The
husband and father is telling about a
distinguished visitor who came to his
ONCE that day. The story is so interest
ing that his young son actually suspends
the business of eating to listen. His wife
hears him at first with an appearance of
interest, but in a moment or two the
peculiar expression comes across her face
that some one has aptly called house
wires eye. Her husband concludes his
ce"'-this systematically, and then
with fervor: John, did you remember
took?"
" oHeH sometimes complain because
their husbands do not tell them more
about their business interests and what
they see in the big world / wonder IL
experiences like these may not have
something to do with such reticence.
At home where / sometimes visit all
table conversation is punctuated well
nigh to extinction by the housemother's
well meant Interruptions No matter
what any one-guest or member of the
family-may be saying. he is likely to be
fnfarYnnted CT
Now do have some more pudding"
James. why don't you give Mrs. c.
some more potatoes?" etc.. etc. There is
no doubt whatever that this good wom-
ans intentions are the best In the world
but her attention most emphatically is
not. and the two really need not be in
compatible.
In very clever essay on the danger
OF being too good a housewife a modern
writer explains the feminine habit of ir-
relevance thus:
Realizing that there is no hour in the
twenty-four when the boiler may not
or tradesmen present hypothetical bills,
she soon learns that she must either
abandon the home In some greater or
less particular or give up all forms OF
concentrated thought. She usual
ly chooses the latter alternative. This
explains her strangely vague and inter-
mittent attention. This Is why she touches
even the subjects OF ordinary converse
ton as Hgntly as numming bird, which
knows. II humnling birds do know such
things, that at any moment it may have
to go wtnging away to its cellar or it's
medicine chest. You drop in to
tea The silver is bright, the food de-
licious. yet your hostess sees not you.
| but the dent in the tea kettle hears not
you. but the voice of a strange man in
the kitchen"
I think we have all known this type of
| woman. Perhaps we have visited her;
perhaps we sit across the table from her:
perhaps We even sit in her chair. How
about It?

The Pocket Sleeve.

The more commodious sleeves of this
summer will give women an opportunity
of using them as pockets. In many cases
beneath the ruffles Of sleeve it is quite
easy and practical to place a tiny pocket
into which one of the small handkerchief
that women favor can be tucked.
Anything solid, like money, cannot find
a place In the pocket unless the sleeve be
a sturdy one, such as that of travelling
suit, in which case a band of suede Sc
curely fastened with snaps can be intro
duced for paper money and a few cents.
The fact that the bell sleeve is finished
by means of taffeta. lace or net frills
makes the contrivance of a little pocket
easy to accomplish.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS THAT
ARE WORTH KNOWING

Putting new ticking on a pillow Is
usually accompanied with feathers flying
all over everything. This is unnecessary.
The right way to proceed is to shake all
the feathers well into one end of the pill
low covering and haste the ticking firmly
together about three inches from the
empty end before ripping il. Make the
new ticking the desired size. leaving one
end open. Basic this end firmly to the
open end Of the old cove. Then rip out
the basting which was three inches from
the end of the old cover and shake all the
feathers from the old ticking into the
new ticking. Be careful to get all the
feathers well shaken into the new cover
and then haste three inches from the end
of the new cover before ripping the two
pillows apart. Sew the end up before re-
moving the basting three inches from the
end. The old covering may be washed
and used again.
A cup of water sprinkled over a bucket
of coal prevents the too rapid consump-
ton of the fuel and does not lessen the
amount OF heat given out. Either soft or
hard coal may he thus doused just before
Il is used to replenish the fire.

l do not believe in buying a hat until
X has been viewed from all points, back,
front and sides. Neither should 1t be
decided upon until the effect of standing
as well as sitting before the glass has
been tried.
A hat that Is most bewitching while
the wearer sits may cut her height I'M
mercffully when she stands; or, again.
1t may fbe too small In proportion to the
body It surmounts, and so totally destroy
balance.
Lastly, in buying q hat bear in mind

harmony or contrast.

the nurseries in house that the day

where part Of the day 1t will be flooded

winds win not reach 1t. The night nur-
sery should be the quietest room in the

bies should have absolute quiet to sleep
in and plenty Of cool, fresh air. Many
people assert that oil painted walls are
the ideal ones for the nursery, as they

not apt to collect and settle upon them.
