appointed to draft resolutions of re-
spect to the memory of Comrade

Owing to unfavorable weather the

kind affectionate matron, and her
lovely daughter Florence, the pet of
the Home, favored us with some
sweet music. Our beloved benefac-
tress, Mrs. Walcott, was also present
and while she attempted no set

cheerful smiles was highly pleasing

COTTON EPONGE SKIRTS
WORN WITH PIQJEE WAISTS

Separate skirts of cotton eponEe have
had tremendous sale, and many of the
well-dressed girls at Newport and Tuxedo
are wearing them to the exclusion of
linen or the durable cotton corduroy,
which is becoming very common these
days. The two-pieee model preserves the
straight, narrow silhouette, but does not
launder as well as the gored skirt, which,
when properly cut, should not sag after
washing. These skirts button over the
left hip and are slightly gathered into a
oeIt IN the back, which fastens with a
buckle, similar to the arrangement on a
mans trousers. The slit at the bottom
actually buttons and unbuttons, and one

Practical DYeInE.

Where there are many children IN the
family It is economy to do considerable
dyeing. Many a faded muslin can be
made TO appear in a fresh color. Light
evening frocks can be dyed a darker
shade and serve for school or afternoon
wear. Remember to dye at the same
time any extra pieces of material to
serve for altering or patching. as il is
almost impossible to match a dyed ma
terial.
White or cream colored ribbon or flow
ers may be giv-n a beautiful shrimp

BLACK USED FOR
HOUSE DECORATION

Behold black now as the fashionable
color Of the interior decorator. The liking
for it arose in Vienna, where interior dec
Grating is an art much thought of. There
some of the new houses or rooms which
have been redecorated show wall papers
with black backgrounds, on which huge,
bright flowers are printed. Carpets, too,
are of black. The idea Of this method of
decorating is apparently to make the
room strictly a background for the fur
nitures and persons in il. The brightly
lowered paper, Of course, detracts from
this effect, but the sort OF paper more
cften used does not have the bright
flowers. 1t shows a black ground, with
a gray or misty white figure.
In a room thus grounded pictures
framed in black are hung. The effect
is startling. The pictures stand out in
reality from their somber surroundings.
White enameled furniture is looked on
with favor for use in black rooms
Surely such a setting would give the
persons in II a chance to shine forth
in all the glory of color lent them by
skin and eyes, hair and clothes. On
the other hand, wouldn't a room so fur
nished cast a depressing spell on the
woman who found herself shut within
!ts.four walls for many hours in a day?
There is an outgrOwth of this craze
for black which is interesting. especially
to those who live in apartments or other
crowded quarters. where the kitchen as
well as the other rooms OF the house
come under occasional inspection of
guests. This is the black enameled Jar
