CLOTHES
BY MRS. McCUNE.
sF little time and thought

EF little time and thought are
1 given to the fixing up OF things
that have begun to look dowdy
and sOiled you cannot imagine how
it will repay you. The process of
dyeing has become so easy that al
ly at home, unless the garment be ex-
tremely intricate in it's style and
elaborate as to trimmings. However,
the small things of girls wardrobe
can be handled at home very success
fully. Take, for instance, your chif-
fon wells that are soiled and faded.
These veilings should first be washed
in a warm suds and dried. Any drug
gist carries a full line of reliable dyes
and a 10-cent package will dye
pound of goods. The dye should then
be prepared and the wells dipped to
the desired shade and ironed dry.
Another thing that can be success
fully handled at home is the coque
feather boas which fade SO quickly
in the summer and have become soil
ed from the dust. Wash these first
as you would the wells by making a
suds and dipping the boa up and
down until all the dirt has disappear
ed. Now dry it, and then dip it in the
dye and take it out in the open air
and keep shaking it until it is quite
dry. This will require fifteen or
twenty minutes, but if you do not
shake it dry the feathers will hang
heavy and lose their fluffy appear
ance.
Perhaps you have a ligk: foulard
with white or pale colored back
ground and spot or figure running
through it. This dress can be sue
cessfully dyed the color of the dot or
figure. The figure will still show, of
course, but will only be just a differ
ent tone from the solid background
Dresses of this goods that are no
longer fit for general wear can be
dyed and used for trimming another
new dress. Cashmere dresses for the
house, the skirts trimmed with bias
bands of foulard silk, with kimono
sleeves edged with the foulard, and a
soft crushed belt of the same, are ex-
tremely pretty and would involve only
the expenditure of a little money to
buy eight yards .of cashmere. Any
soiled foulard that is beyond mending
would answer for the trimming if
the owner would just clean and dive
it. But the point to remember is this
that all goods must be thoroughly
washed until they are free from
CRIME and dirt and dried before they
are put into the dye.
RENovATING CLOTHES :.
For your better dresses of pale col
ored goods it will probably pay you
to take them to professional. Crepe
de chine is very apt to fade in the
process OF cleaning, and often they
fade just from wearing and hanging
mussed in the closet. These dresses
should be taken to a dyeing estab-
lishment and dyed their original
shade. A pale blue dress that has
lost its color takes on a dirty ap-
pearance AMI nothing will restore
| it. Pale pink shades are apt to fade

and take on a yellow tinge that Is
most trying to the complexion.
Very few materials take black we'll.
Many women going in mourning try
to have the dresses they have on hand
dyed black in order to make some use
of them. This is seldom successful.
Even in the finest quality of broad
cloth : dyed dress is apt to come
home with a gray or greenish tinge.
Ribbons dye very easily at home,
and all the soiled ribbons left over
from the summer .-eason can be
dipped a dark shade and worn as
belts, hair ribbons, etc. This is pre-
eminently a season where one tone
is being carried out in gowns, and this
means that all laces which go to trim
a dress must be dyed that color. Law
ender dresses are trimmed with laces
dyed the same shade: brown Iaces
are seen made up in entire guimpeS
to be worn with the new shades of
brown broadcloth suits. To carry
ont this idea you must first buy the
goods. Then buy the amount of lace
YOU want in pure white or ecru. Take
a sample of the goods and the lace to
anv reliable dyeing establishment and
they will dye it the desired shade
Hats are made of this dyed lace and
much of it is used in trimming the
fashionable Japanese sleeves.
Let the woman at home who wants
to try her hand at this work get a
1O-cent package of dye at any drug
store and begin on something that is
not particularly valuable. Make the
dye and test it's color with a piece OF
old rag that is clean. Go slow at
first anG with each time you will find
that your success has grown and that
in this way you can keep your little
accessories in a nice fresh condition.

" He new materials are. in fact. as

IN this material are fashioned with
square yokeS embroidered with
french knots or small porcelain
beads, the half sleeves being finished
with undersleeses of embroidered

with a deep Robespiere collar of the

Among the new shades is a soft
"poussin" blue, which is seen to ad-
vantage in ribbed cotton shantung and
in the new striped hopsacks of light
weight, which are just as fashion,
able for children as for their elders.
There is, besides, a becoming shade
of yellow, which is known as teal y

than the whilom popular khaki. Green
is favorite color with children this
season, and practically every shade Isl
to be seen, from a midsummer leaf
tint to the paleSt chartreuse or DUCKS
egg tone.
One feature is very striking with
regard to the new summer fabric for
little children. Ribbed effects are very
pronounced, and there is nothing which
represents more sensational change
from old conventions than the coarse

AT THE PICNIC
BY EDNA EGAN.

~ HE small picnic is usually we'll
hammered affair, including, as it
does, only persons well known
to one another. But it is the big pic
mic, such gatherings as are made up
of several societies, half-doZen Sun
day schools perhaps, and sometimes
goodly squad of politicians, which is
often a menace to delicate and con-
siderate behavior. Many picknickers
unacquainted with ane another. see no
reason why they should be overpun-
tillious in the matter of manners
when they are out for good days
fun, and in ways they can scarcely be
blamed. Nevertheless, as the whole
question involves the dignity of both
men and women, it is necessary to
do a little plain talking with the big
picnic subject.
To begin with, mothers, dress your
daughters for the picnic in a little
worldly wisdom-attire yourselves
with discretion, per-emptory command
and unsleeping vigilance. Fathers,
take your sons aside and give them
a little preliminary lesson on a gen.
tleman's behavior to defenseiess
ly girl. All, there is the gist of my
picnic argument. Both man and maid
are in danger of losing their dignity.
| and, what is more important, their
good name on the jolly day if they are
not careful at every point in their be-
havior to one another. The girl hurts
| herself with too much freedom Of
Sibfe perhaps on other occasions; and
| every time a man takes advantage of
| some maiden Stiffness or other, he is
! hurting his own honor as we'll as the
| good name of his fair companion or
! companions.
In the matter of picnic introduce
tons, it is a girls duty to ask her
parents or guardians for the day il
! they approve of her knowing the
| Young man, and it is obligatory upon
I the man to make the request for the
+, introduction through some one of the
! girls friends.
If this means fails there are dozen
! decent ways for young folks to be-
come acquainted in more informal
| ways. 1t is correct for a man to pay
| the older women Of a perfectly un-
known party polite attentions when
the occasion demands them but il he
/ wishes 10 continue the acquaintance.
he should after a bit introduce him
self by presenting his listing and
business card; and then il these
women have "sized him up" agreeably
they may present him to the young
daughter or niece in whom his inter-
est is naturally conferred.
But with this point achieved his
most serious duty is involved. II the
girl is inclined to be too frivolous, he
must assume a quietly grave manner
and avoid opening up sentimental
or indecorous subject. He must in
/ dictate in every way that the girls
proper place is to remain near her
/ cbaperon, and if some young man ap-
proaches whom she knows better than
/ himself he must make way for him
| with perfect breeding.

y SHAMPOO

shampoos disagree with the hair,
then why not use the new hair cleans
er-white of egg? AS you can scarce
ly believe that it is we'll for the hair
to be covered with CRIME for five or
six months at time, you will doubt
less seize with joy upon a shampoo
which is neither wet nor dry.
First, of course, you should beat the
whites of two eggs until they are as
stiff as stiff can be, after which you
must repair to your bedroom and sit
down in front of your dressing table.
Now take handful of the white of
egg and proceed to massage the scalp,
rubbing with light circular move
ment of the fingers. When the egg
whites are exhausted, take seat near
a hot radiator and read or sew for
fifteen or twenty minutes. A clean
hair br'-sh should then be applied to
the hair for several minutes, by the
end of which time the eggs will have
disappeared, leaving the hair and
scalp as clean as heart COLD wish.
The white of egg treatment will make
the hair delightfully."- fluffy.
