Care of Cut Flowers.

Z LOWERS eut several hours before
L really needed and placed imme-
diately in water keep better than those
freshly cut The reason for this is
that the fragile stems, when well MI
ed with water. do not droop as quickly
as those that have only their own
Juices to draw upon. Gather flowers
in the early morning if wanted at
night, and the night before if they
are wanted to be at their best the
following noon. A little salt in the
water helps to keep them Never
place them on ice, as in that case they
wither Immediately on exposure to air.
When garden flowers are shipped by
mail they should be picked very early
in the morning. while the dew is still
upon them. Then place them In water
in a cool. dark cellar until night. The
flowers will then have drawn up a
great deal Of moisture to serve them
on their journey, and only a little
damp fern, moss or grass needs to
be put around their stems to insure
their freshness upon their arrival.

new waistcoats which fashion is playing
up in a conspicuous manner.
These WaistcoatS are important fea-
lures in the clothes of today. They were
introduced a year ago in Paris. but their
following was insignificant unit, April OF
this Year Even then only the smartly
dressed women took them up. as every
one did not seem to recognize their posi-
biitieS. The shops brought them out III
alluring forms and they viii be worn in
brilliant manner at the summer resorts
in July and August, and then, no doubt,
they will become a popular feature III
September. They viii be more needed
then than now for they give sufficient
warmth on cool days TO carry a thin suit
well into the winter.
The variety in these waistcoats is very
satisfying 10 the woman who cannot wear
the masculine type. They are made OF
satin brocade, OF oriental crepe, Of Chi
nese and Japanese embroidery, OF striped
silk of lowered taffeta and figured crepe
Some are like bouses and are intended
to serve as such when the coat is re-
moved. They are open in the neck, quite
loose ana soft, are fastened in straight
line down the front with fancy buttons
and have unusually large ar:nholes. with
.eeyes that so to the wrists. This kind
is belted at the waist with Il narrow gin
die of material contrasting velvet rib
bon. and there is breast pocket which
often holds d small handkerchief with j
small colored BIO. DER

tunes, but the idea can be repeated in a
simpler fabric for summer vea-, and one

A Woman May Dress

Pleases and Be IN
the Height of Style.

VEN though IL i midsummer and
news of clothes is quiescent.
there are many interesting
things to talk about. This is al
ways so when there is variety
Of STYLES TO choose from in summer
season When fashion is cut and dried.
when one style dominates. when there
arr. ONLY two or three colors out OF which
n make ones clothes. then women lose
interest in the middle of the season.
PM here IS a time of infinite variety,
If q mass Of artistic colors that have
not been eaualed since the fourteenth
century, Consequently women are con-
eraDtIv KEYED UP on the subject of what
is worn and what is 10 be worn No

cry of = sleeve the use of a ribbon. the
application OF a buckle, all of which are
alIurln.s and which make any woman
wish 10 go home and fashion something
in a like manner.
Ii Is a day of individuality, which I'M
fortunately often is allowed 10 run too
far beyond the limits of good taste.
There has never been in the history of
New York. for instance time like last
spring when street dressing was so amaz-
Ing and eccentric. And New York Is the
clearing house Tor fashions in America;

Contrasting Fashions Govern the Season

made is about these clothes. All other
topics are second. Most of them say
that they see with their eyes what they
have before considered as Pigments of
cartoonist's brain. The sight which in
terests them most is the slashed skirt,
which is worn in more variety in New
York than il is anywhere else in the
world. People who have been in Paris,
Vienna. London and cities of the United
States say that where you see two mod
erately slashed skirts anywhere else you
will see hundred in New York 1t is
the universal street uniform.
When the North Atlantic fleet was in
the North river for the unveiling of the
Maine Monument the officers. marines
and even sailors owned up that they
stood on the street corners with their
mouths open to See the procession of
women in these directoire costumes.
They had read of the slashed skirt in
the papers. but they had never seen it
elsewhere. and they supposed il was a
myth. These men, as you nnow, daily
were entertained and at every affair this
one subject was the main topic of dis
cussion.
And what is true of this one feature
i'm dress is true of every other. The
women of other nations refuse. 1t is a
serious statement. but il is n serious
truth. Many reasons are gwen for it,
but the main one advanced ny those who
study clothes is more plausible than
any other. which is that our nation is
overrun With ready-to-wear clothing
shops and there is no other country
where the wholesale clothing business IL
carried on on such a gigantic scale. Con
sequently the slightest novelty that is
advanced in Paris no matter how in
artistic or eccentric, is copied over here
by the thousands and sold broadcast 10y
a network of shops.
IL is a pity that the ready-to- wear
clothes emphasize so much of the freak
ishness Of fashion. because if they did
not the mass of American women would
not be open to criticism account
of their good taste The shops say that
the women viii not buy unless they Of
fer them the latest novelty.
The mass of women is not seemingly
cognizant that the well dressed woman
does not wear any OF these things and
probably she would not care If she did

clothes that are mos; empha sized in the
streets and house the better dressed
women have taken up entirely different
fashions from those we every day
in public places. The women who do
not care TO be fashionable have striVea
for compromise between the two sec
tiCns. The feminine woman is designing
more frills and furbeio%s every day and
the woman who wears masculine clothes
is endeavoring to stem the tide OF absurd
fopperies by wearing the ciean-cut. UNI
trimmed straight up and down garments
such man wears Hence the in
finite variety.
This condition makes for contrast
Each woman is allowed a good hit OF
license in the way she wishes to dress
and the shops try to cater To all kinds
Of minds and tastes, and for this rea-
son We see women wearing clothes OF
every epoch that left its Impression upon
fashion.
Therefore. if YOU are deba.inG Oh Eour
midsummer wardrobe YOU can choose
from an endless list of styles. and il
YOU do not care 10 follow amy marked
line OF individual taste you can amuse
yourself by wearing heterogeneous fash
ions. You may be Dolly Warden i'll one
cha ptcr of social affairs and Beau Brum-
mel in another; If you feel demure you
can dress like Queen Victoria when she
was young matron or the Duchess OF
Devonshire when she was painted by
Gainsborough.
You may lose individuality by this
panoramic view of the erochs when
your clothes make. but you may have II
good time doing il and it may leach you
to find out Your own style. The inn
portant thing about il is that you can
wear eacn one OF these costumes with

the iaxity Of STYLES. there are certain
WAYS OF doing things that make every
gown right and another way which
makes them wrong.
No matter how hot the season every
woman feels she must possess a coat
suit OF some kind for everyday wear
if necessary, or for the cool occasions
which present themselves. 1t is amaz-
ing how popular one-piece frocks have
become III the last two years. and what
inroads they have mace on the coat and
Skin, rs the necessary attire for an
American woman. The Anglo-Saxon has
always been the ardent advocate g. this
l:anH!@.i attire, and France chi Iel
into l.ne when i was discovered that
the American and i2n&iish women would
80 elseW usie Tor these suits If they cid
not offer them little by little the cont
mental women beisau To wear them, and
nov they are - common III Europe as
ia tie states. As a rule they are not
as well made The English and American
tssilors are SIN the very best but Paris
produces the new ideas, and this is the
reason il gets 50 mucd OF the American
commercial trade. The amount of won-
tn VINO have their coat suits made in
Paris - insignificant in numbers
No matter how tempted Il woman may
Ice IN Paris It. order a coat and skirt she
IS far wiser to reserve that money for
America. and this is what she has

them at all. but il IS one OF the COM

the american buyer than with the Amer

while she buys the gown 1T this end
