Airy Fairness in
the Newest BIouses

Blouses are Of a decidedly airy fairy
character. Nets so fine as to be all but
tulle will be worn with silk suits, and
into the scheme will be introduced the
prettiest play Of ribbon and bows. When
the blouse is sheltered under a coat how
ever slim that coat may be, it will take
advantage Of its shelter to be lust as
dfmsy as possible.
The voiles and cotton crepes Of tbe in
expensive lingerie blouse that goes freely
to the wash are getting so gauzy, both
fabrics being almost as fine as chiffon.
All lingerie blouses having a sailor or
a fall-back collar of some sort. 1t goes
without saying that the collar will nro-
vide the white note for the suit with
which 1t is worn.
Then. Of course, there are always
blouses Of crepe de chine and charmeuse,
and these should have collars Of plain
white organdie. would they play their part
really well in the summer program. Sup
pose with a navy serge suit a blouse OF
pale yellow crepe de chine, finished with
a vest collar of white organdie, which
falls over the navy serge coat, is worn.
The scheme will, Of course, be charming,
and with it might go a sailor-shaped
hat of shiny black straw, ribbon and
little yellow wings.
Yellow should be a good accessory note
this summer. and such a yellow blouse
will be all the better for the collar sug-
gested. They who fear to place yellow

PARIS. May 2O,-Of course, no one
needs to be told that Paris is an active
crater sending forth volumes of all that
is daintiest and most ravishing in lin
gerie. 1t is the land of exquisite en-
oroidery and the home Of the trousseau,
and everywhere there are alluring spe-

Seemingly. nothing is too fine for these
dainty garments, and miracles are per-
formed with laces and delicate embroid-
cries done by French nuns. Very often
the designers fancies get the better of
their discretion and soar away on such
diaphanous clouds of laces and chiffons
that the completed articles of intimate
apparel are, as a result. decidedly too
chilly and perishable for service.
That is why, by contrast. the lovely
nightgown of the sketch seemed alto
gether practical and modest. The novelty
lay in the clever cut of it, for do you
see how novel the arrangement of the
bodice was?
The outline of the top resembled the
letter M being cut in a pointed decol-
letage and held up on the shoulders with
ribbons. There were no shoulders and
the ends of the sleeves met on the outer
side Of the arm and were caught to-
gether with a bow of ribbon. The back
was cut exactly the same. but did not

The Taffeta Cane.

The success of the week, writes a Paris
correspondent. has been the taffeta cape.
Not the cape in cloth or in satin, but in
the new soft silk of excellent quality that
we call taffeta, but that has, in reality,
very little in common with the silk of
that name known to our ancestors.
The cape has crossed piece in front
resembling waistcoat that gives to this
fashionable cloak something of warmth.
The back. or cape proper, has high
rolled collar and falls in many pleats
some distance down the skirt. 1t Is trim
med with two hounces and is lined with
muslin in the same design as the dress it
covers.
This muslin makes the prettiest of tot
let's with pleated skirt in plain ma
terial. and the overdress printed with
large bouquets in the new colorings,
which signify shades of all description
that have no connection with the how-
ers they represent. Sometimes these
muslins are in blue, sometimes in black
and sometimes in mole. but invariably
the colorings in the flowers are rich and
rare"

their edges finely buttonholed with navy

rather the crochet type. only hanging like
acorns. Delightfully."- in tune with serge
was that blouse.
1t is thought in some quarters that
the organdie muslin note will extend from
the mere collar. evolving eventually into
dresses and blouses. There is no getting

ers in it. They will give much better
satisfaction than If the soda had been

one every morning.
Coarse salt has nearly the same action.

To Make Cherry Pie.

Cherry pie is frequently made without
stoning the cherries. but the pie with pit
ted cherries is SO much more satisfactory
that 1t really seems worth while to take
the trouble. In stoning use a sharp knife
and save all the juice. Grease deep Die

the hard crab begins to shed it's shell
and tries to retire into a secluded cor
ner until the new shell becomes hard
enough to protect it and Justify It in
again appearing in public. During
this metamorphosis, which lasts three
days. the flesh of the crab takes on q
peculiar navor. particularly pleasing

Many Kinds Of Straw.

Many Kinds of straw are used, with the
preference given by the smart women to
straw that has close strong weave
that wears well. The Belgian split
straw Is also in demand whether or not
1t wears well. So far. while the milliners
advocate the simple trimming of a wide
band Of rough ribbon. there are women
VINO prefer more ornate method.
The hat in the sketch is a model that
has lost nothing through popularity. It
has been exploited by the best New York
houses, and women who are spending
the summer in the country have shown
their approval Of the hat by buying it.
When 1t was first worn in Paris. or
rather on the Riviera, it was called the
bird hat because there were from eight
10 Twelve small birds perched around the
crown. but as the season advanced the
birds grow less in number, and this
American hat has only three. They are
small black birds with excessively long
tails. and are mounted directly against
the straw. which is white with a fiange
of black under the brim.
Such hat can be worn with any of
the somber suits such as black and dark
blue that the season has brought out,
and 1t also goes admirably with white
suits and with white skirts and separate
blouses. The touch Of black makes it
an artistic combination with the water
melon pink muslin blouses that the sum-
mer weather has brought into fashion.
