SQUARE EFFECT CALLED FOR
Both for Indoor and Outdoor Wear,
the Gown Must Present That
Appearance.

A quaint square effect is the most
noticeable feature of the newest Of the
gowns both for indoor and outdoor
wear. Whether the present tendency
toward the natural form has anything
to do with it is, of course, the first
thing that occurs to one.
a very charming gown which Illus
trates this feature has draped skirt
in night-blue color Of charmeuse.
This has a straight, square back,
which shows scarcely any curve at the
waist line A broad, straight panel
hangs from the waist, without any
folds to the end of the skirt. The dra-
perry of the front of the skirt disap-
pears under this panel at each side
about two-tnirds of the way from the
waist
The co-sage is of ivory lace over
fesh-colored chiffon, and has point
eS ceinture in front. This also dis
appears at the back under the panel.
Little motifs of iridescent blue beads
take away from the severe style of
the square back The front Of the
gowns is very graceful, but somehow
the back cannot appeal to everybody.

COOLER CLOTHES FOR BABY
One of the Problems That the Warmer
Weather Puts Forward to the
Young Mother.

When the warm summer months
confront us the young mother begins
to think about cool clothes for baby,
and not the least important of the ar
ticles required for the wardrobe Is
the loose coat to be worn over the
long dress, for baby dare not be
exposed to draughts at any time.
The needlework shops are showing
an attractive variety Of long coats
made of crepe de chine or albatross.
These can be copied with little diff
Hculty.
Purchase hmono pattern for a
baby In long clothes and stamp the
border with scallops. Down the fronts
and across the sleeves stamp dainty
flower design; either forget-me-nots,
rose buds or violets are suitable
White silk of a fine quality should be
used to embroider the flowers.
First pad the petals, using white
darning cotton for the purpose. Make
the padding stitches the length Of the
petals and cover them with silk, max
ing the stitches at right angles with
the padding. Buttonhole the scanops
with heavier twisted silk, padding
them first with the darning cotton.
Tie the fronts together with white
ribbon an inch in width.
If desired, these dainty coats can be
lined with q light quantity OF china
silk, but they are more frequently
unlined for summer use.
II you haven't little one OF your
own, make dainty coat for a tiny
friend or relative It is fascinating
work, as the soft materials are easy
to WORK with.

AID OF STUFFED BEAR;
BY JAMES 3. HAWLEY.

For the sixteenth time had asked
Marjory Curtis to marry me. And for
the seventeenth time-twice She
didn't even notice my remarkable

and refused
Late one afternoon an errand called
me to p; and as my horses had
been driven hard all day, ! took the
train for the two miles, with the de-
termination Of walking home.
! completed my errand, had dinner
In p, and about eight o'clock
started on my homsward journey.
For the first mile or 30 the walk was
beautiful, but as I reached the corner

soon as she recognized me she ex-'
planned that she had been locked out
and asked me If ! would mind wait

or her father arrived, and then tell
them that she would be down at Mrs,
Johnston's.
For a moment ! hesitated and
then the temptation to see Marjorie'
became too strong for me, and sue
cumbed. Marjorie arrived, and delv-
cred the message.
She thanked me, and, although l.

When we had reached the third step
or 30 from the bottom the heavy

Yellow Luncheon Tables.

The hostess who entertains in the
most correct and formal manner now
uses artificial light at her midday
luncheons Spring sunshine is cruelty
searching to the complexion hence
the popularity Of the softly shaded
lights. Yelloyss are always in favor in
the seasons of daffodils, jonquils and
tulips. and charming fancy Is to set
at each plate little basket filled with
yellow blossoms, large basket with
the same flowers decorating the cen.
ter of the table. Tall silver vases or
glass vases, set at each corner of the
table and filled with yellow daffodils,
are graceful decoration when the
light falls from an electrolier over the
-anter Of the board.
