The Making of Wash Skirts.

1t will probably be many years, If ever
before women disregard the white skiri
and separate blouse as the uniform fol
hot weather. One-pfece frocks may take
the place of this combination to some ex
tent. but as long as American women live
In the open during July and August, Jus'
so long will they find this kind OF dress
comfortable, suitable and agreeable. The
folk of other nations smile at 1t good
deal and call it the American summer
uniform, but despite criticism 1t has re-
NAMED throughout the season as an &C
ceptable way to dress.
In the city 1t is expensive; in the coun-
try or at any summer resort it is mex
pensive and therefore popular. II the
skirt is made short enough it lasts much
longer than when it touches the tops of
the pumps and gathers dirt to itself.
The same kind of pattern used for cloth
skirts is used for the white wash skirt.
There is a seam down each side, but none
down the back. and the fastening Is Ill
front with buttons or clamps, the former
preferred.
The new fashion of gathering skirt
across the back Of the waist line is ADOPT
ed in these soft crash garments. nut there
are not many figures sufficiently slim TO
wear it; if one dislikes the severe plain
ness that goes across the spine then
dozen or more pin tucks can be run from
waist to end of corset; these break the
plainness and accentuate the length OF
line from neck down.

Muskrat is a great worker, and ne had

made mostly of sticks instead OF inud,

he would have done into the Dank OF

It was hard work, the hardest kind OF
work. But Jerry Muskrat is the kind

NET ACCESSORIES
TO MATCH GOWNS

So enamored have women become OF
1.-The various and interesting things that
have been invented in net that they are
getting together wide amount Of acces-
series for the summer made Of this fab
ric.
Just think for moment what can be
done There are gowns Of net. made high
and low; there are girdles and Japanese
sashes OF net, there are long-sleeved and
short-sleeved guimpes. there are parasols
lined with silk or made of several layers
of white and colored net. there are petit
coats and brassieres and fancy corset COW
ers trimmed with chiffon roses. And this
is not all.
There are small hats and large hats of
black, white and colored tulle: there are
Medici collars and Robespierre ones of
net that is plain and net that is sprinkled
with figures There are net neck runs
there are huge roses and little Vloiets
and broad green leaves and pink moss
rose buds made of net to use as trimming
on underwear. on room robes. on boudoir
caps and on evening gowns And the end
is not vet. All any woman would nave
to do to enlarge her vision concerning the
possibilities Of net would be to make
tour through the shops
1t was some time before those who sell
caught the conta gion. but when they did
eaten IL net garments ana dCSeScoiies
sprang INTO being overnight, and every
one who had an idea Immediately worked
1t out, and therefore the windows and
the counters-to say nothing OF the al
vertisements in the papers-Were hiled
with ingenious possibilities in this one
ia brio.
Where women once bought net or tulle
by the yard they now buy 1t by the piece.
They use 1t In dozen WAYS to vary
gown. to add to it's color scheme. to
achieve some of those clever individual
touches over which women have become
enthusiastic since the cut-and-dr1ed fash
ions in clothes have gone out
II is an interesting subject. this one OF
individuality. and il has arisen with much
gusto In the last few months: whether the
cry for it produced the supply or whether
the womens apparel produced the talk is
hard to tell. What matters the cause:
We are in the stir of the movement and
it is one to develop and encourage, al
though 1t may produce during short
life more mistakes than successes.
Just as all nations arc not capable OF
self-government: Just SO all women are
not capable of achieving good costumes
1t may be better for the majority to be
ruled by the minority in clothes as it is in
politics, for when allowed to run wild
with fabric and colors a woman may
make Mardi Gras of herself at mo-
ments notice.

Radish Recipes.

There are two kinds of radishes: one
II round and small and red, the other
Ia long and tapering and streaked with
white. Both when eaten raw should be
chosen young, as their flavor is then
the miidest. They should always be
served crisp and. cold. If they are pre-
pared about an hour before they are to
lie eaten they can he kept in ice water
until they are served. and then served
in a bed of cracked ice. The little red
round ones can be cut in rose fashion.
To do this first make two deep cuts
at right angles to each other across the
radish. not cutting quite through TO the
stem end Then with sharp steel

ters Tho ice water will curl the little
points of skin back like rose leaves

ChiIdren's Shoes.

To make them wear longer, wash chill
dren's shoes occasionally to remove the
dirt and old polish. and soften them with
oil. When any part of the sole becomes
badly worn 1t should he mended at once.
for usually a shoe will wear out at one
point more quickly than at another, and
hy paving 10 or II cents to have that
part mended it will save dollars in time.
Gun metal finished shoes are preferable
for everyday wear. for such shoes are
lusterless and can be cleaned with oils
instead of polish. which is destructive to
