TN the $40 block in Seventh street
there is a department store which
is selling an excellent quality Of
ratine at 3sc the yard This ma
| terial is rough weave and is 3S inches
wide. Three yards Of it will make a
postillion jacket from a 36 pattern. In
these slip-on coats the sleeves are made
long, and the collar is either OF white
or of the same material as the skirt. A
frtll Of the same material of which the
collar is made is pleated and put In the
cuffs.
Girdles of ribbon and silk are worn
with all of the summer costumes,
Black is favorite with the street
dresses. while evening gowns favor the
lighter shades. Black satin and moire
ribbons seven inches wide are selling
for 44c yard at the department store
at the corner of Eleventh and G streets.
These girdles are made of two or three
folds of ribbons wound round the waist,
and made into huge tailored bow at
the back or front. Black girdles fin
ish of the postillion coats very pref
tily.
Here is an idea from a Cleveland pa
per. which seems to be just as applic-
able to Washington needs.
Ready packed with food lunch
baskets for picnics may be bought at a
moments notice at one of the stores.
They are delivered instantly free of
charge at ANY place in the city, and
are always fresh. These lunches con-
sist of ham sandwiches, cheese sand
wiches, roast beef sandwiches. with dill
pickles and olives. etc. Also nice select
fruits. as well as sardines and the dif-
ferent fish in tins, besides imported
sausages and smoked potted meats,
from which very tasty sandwiches NAV
be made

While there are so many gowns being |
made with pleated skirts and pleated !
