SPECIAL COVER FOR FRoCK
Best Method Of Protecting the "Party
Gown" When It Is Hanging In
the Wardrobe.

Nearly every girl realizes that the
average party gown gets more hard
usage when hanging in the crowded
wardrobe than while 1t is being actu-
ally worn. And as most girls have far
less wardrobe space than they need,
the best means Of protecting the party
frock from contact with the workaday
garments is to make a special cover
for 1t of lawn, dimity, muslin, cheese
cloth or a similar material. Having
measured the length of the gown from
shoulders to skirt hem, take two full
widths Of the chosen covering material
and shape an end of each one Of them
into shoulders and the half Of a neck
The shoulders and the long, straight
sides Of the cover are then scanned
together, the bottom is hemmed, the
neck Is neatly bound with ribbon
bowed in front at the top of two short
siIken cords from which depend two
small square or oval sachets. When
the gown is adjusted to it's individual
hanger and the muslin cover drawn
smoothly over its folds and draperies
it Is in a condition to be as nicely kept
as 1t is possible to keep any unboXed
garment.

Sleeping the years Of their manhood

Judging from advance models, the
separate coats of the sporting type

even smarter and more attractive
than those which were so successfully
launched last year. They will be made
up in all the same bright colors and
practically the same materials as last
years models, but the new ones are
possessed of a clever cut and grace
of line that make them quite the mic
est sort of a serviceable summer

OF course, they are designed pri-

skirts and blouses or with white serge
frocks, for, as a general rule. they are

Oil DESTROYS Insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts of their
body, and if these pores are clased
by oil they are suffocated. Anyone
may test this by dropping sweet oil
on the back of a wasp; it very soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one of the best things to use for
the destruction of insects. Flies, mos
uuitoes, reaches and other vermin can
be driven from house by the liberal
use of coal oil.

The fashion of wearing dresses open

of an endless variety of neckwear.

any collar at all. Now there are those
with flowing collars and plastron or

relieve the severity and increase the

TULLE USED IN MILLINERY
One of the Most Effective of the Hat
Trimmings That Are Just
Now Popular.

Tulle as a hat trimming is growing
in favor and wonderful things can be
done with it. 1t is placed on straw
taffeta, satin or on any material that
goes to make a hat. 1t is used TO
drape the crown, folded into most
fantastic shapes, and it can be twist
ed into spirals that resemble the ten
drills of a feather, or clipped to look
like pompons. 1t is not as perishable
as it looks, as there are moistproot
tuIles which may be exposed to damp
ness and even rain without becoming
limp. Lace is also used in high-wired
effects and in artistic drapings.
The new flowers are works Of art
There is a great variety Of stick-up
motifs, in wing and quill effects, and
fantastic ornaments made entirely OF
thickly clustering small flowers, in
color schemes that are truly wonder
full in their beauty. Fine ferns
grasses and moss are used to subdue
too brilliant coloring.
Dainty pompOns are made OF forget
me-nots, lilacs and other small flow
ers, mounted on slender branchlike
stems. Delightful little clusters of
flowers are composed Of a silk rose
bud, two fuchsias and sprig of mig
nonette, placed on the brim of hat
Berries are either worn as punches or
else in trails right round the hat, often
being mixed with flower buds.
Cotton voiles strewn with small
flower motifs and tulles printed in the
same effect are made up into smart
hats with the addition of small guam
tity of fine straw braid, lace or en-
broidered edging and small flowers or
fruit, and are elaborate enough to be
worn with the daintiest summer frock.

OUR FALLEN HEROES.

Has wreathed with flowers the bat

We see the fruiting fields increase
Where sound Of war no more shall

Soft winds play DER the Rapidan;
There only echo notes Of glee,
Where cleaned a mighty army's
van!
Fair Chattanooga's wooded slope,
With summer airs is lightly stirred.
And many a heart is warm with hope
Where once the deep-mouthed gun
was heard.
The blue Potomac stainless rolls,
And Mission Ridge is gemmed with
fern;
On many a height sleep gallant souls
And still the blooming years return.
Thank God! unseen to outward eye,
But felt in every freeman's breast,
From graves where fallen comrades
lie
Ascends at Natures wise behest,
With springing grass and blossoms
new,
A prayer to bless the nations life,
To freedoms flower give brighter hue,
And hide the awful stains of strife,
o, boys in blue, we turn to you,
The SCARED and mangled who sur
vive;
No more we meet in grand review
But all the arts of freedom thrive.
Still glows the jewel on its shrine,
Won where the James now tranquil
rolls;
A wreath for all, the glory thine,
And memory of heroic souls!
