FINE NET CURTAINS.

In selecting made curtains in pairs, il
is difficult to keep to the ideal of sim.
plicity for the summer home, for the
designs lead by insidious gradations from
the plain bobhinet to most elaborate cur
tains Of imported. handmade lace. To
begin with, there are the net curtains
with tiny edges and a two-inch insertion.
The net is finer In thread this year. the
lace daintier in design and the heavy
Cluny is discarded for better thread
lace, yet prices vary little from last year.
Then there are curtains with plain
grounds and woven borders which sug-
gest German influence; while some of the
copies of old lace borders, on plain net,
are SO well done that the beauty OF
effect wins pardon for the imitation. An
other imitation worthy Of acceptance is
a narrow insertion and edge of Venetian
point lace. which Is made by machine
on curtains of plain net.
A hand embroidery which has the ap-
pearance of lace is that which decorates
a new style of net curtain. 1t resembles
shadow embroidery to some extent. and
is done with soft. fiat threads Of silky
cotton. The design is first outlined and
then entirely filed in with sort OF
darned work. These curtains have a
delicacy that suggests expense. yet they
are less in price than many which have
heavy Cluny establishment They are
finished with simple hem in order to
keep their eject IN liShtness.

RUM0RS OF HOOPS.

There are -rumors, as there are ALWAYS
at least once in the course of the wear.
OF the revival of the crinoline 1t il said
that midsummer will see hooped skirts
. This may or may not take the general
fancy, but 1t is certain that nounces will
trim our muslin dresses, and that they
will be more voluminous than they have
been for many years.
We are certainly on the verge NJ a
change, and the drawings of Gavarni
seem to be inspiring the dressmakers
even now. Already there are pelerines in
nounces Of lace, and capes like those
drawn in old-faehioned pictures. We
snail possibly adopt the small shoulder
cape, but 1t is TO be hoped the poke
bonnet that was seen at this period will
not replace the small hat that suits the
modern style of hairdressing. In our
modern manner of thinking. the poke
bonnet Is only suitable to children and
We associate it with the seashore, and
can only see it in pink and blue cotton.
II would be difficult to make the Paris
iene accept a fashion that hides the lines
of the throat that artists appreciate. In
the same way the vast proportions Of the
hooped skirt will not satisfy her aesthetic
tastes. But it is useless to speak OF taste
where fashion is concerned. For the mo-
ment everything points to the crinoline,
and We can only hope that before the
summer has started that the modes vill
have taken another dirscuou.-

Take Lessons from Florist
MArrangen1entof FlOWerS

Study the arrangement of flowers and
plants in the windows of the high-class
florists" says ar observing hostess. In
less woman is an artist she cannot
hope to equal the skill shown by the pro-
fessionals who arrange the display win
dows of the modern flower market, and
find it easier and better to copy than
to experiment.
lone of the useful ideas I CLEANED re-
Gently from the study os a beautifully
arranged window was the possibilities of
Vtest tubes as flower holders. There were
placed at each side of the handle of
basket of flowers and were tied in
place with many twinings of gauze rib
bon and almost concealed by the many
looped bows. The ribbon was the palest
blue, and in each test tube was a single
full-blown pink rose and a few buds.
keeps for Long Time.
THE depth of the water allowed by
these test tubes make It possible to keep
flowers in them fresh for a long time.
while the effect is the same as though
the loose flowers were held by the rib
bons. Short test tubes can be used in
candlesticks with good results provided
the socket for the candle is deep enough
to hold the tube firmly in place.
For a table decoration four glass can
dlesticks. each with a test tube holding
one or two long stemmed blossoms. the
space between the candlesticks festoon-
ed with gauze ribbon harmonizing with
the general color scheme, make one of
the prettiest of arrangements at the
minimum of cost and trouble. l bor-
rowed this idea from a florists window
and 1t never fails to be commented on
by my guests who see il for the first
time.
Incidentally these glass test tubes are
cheap, costing anywhere from l cent to
cents apiece, according to their size.
The curving rim makes it possible to
hang them almost anywhere by means
Of heavy thread and where a plant has
ceased blooming 1t is in an easy matter to
introduce detached blossoms in these
glass tubes, thus prolonging the beauty
of the plant. aT..

Oriental Women Having
Educational Awakening

has convinced the leaders of thought
that the physical and moral elevation
Of their race and the advancement of
their country are in great measure de-
pendent on the physical and moral ele-
walton Of the women apd their emanci-
patton from the tramthels which Gus
tom. rather than religion, has imposed
on them.
'As the men become more educated
they are desirous of finding women OF
equal intellectual sttainments for their
life companions. and this is leading TO
monogamy. especially among the higher
and titled classes. The vernacular press
has energetically supported the move
ment for the abolition of the veil and
the emancipation of women and a gen.
eral change in public opinion is easily
perceptible.
Further Help.
This womens Educational Union is
only one of the more prominent results OF
this mental movement. and II is intend
ed to give practical effects TO its ideas
by experimenting the existing schools for
girls, the accommodation of which is al
ready unequal to the demand. But II
is felt that the education of girls should
he carried further than is now possible.
and that facilities should also be af-
forded for the further prosecution of
their studies TO those whose early mar
risge had prematurely stopped their edu-
cation"
Duse Mahomed adds that there is
every sign that the society will meet
with the success 1t so well deserves"
since 1t is designed to supply a need
universally felt among Nterate Egyptians
who want to associate with intellectual
and emancipated women.
The Washington herald., 1914-06-11

The Grey for emancipated and educated
women is rapidly travelling from the
Eastern to the Western Orient. A writer
in the Literary Digest declares 1t has
lately been taken up by Egspt, and has
so appealed TO the nobility of the coun-
try that the mother OF the reigning
khedive has gathered around herself the
women notables of her race and the
prominent foreign women in Cairo and
formed them into the Women's Educa-
tional Union" whose avowed objects are
thus stated in the press:
l. To unite in a common band women
of all nationalities interested in educa-
ton. and thus promote the cause Of fe-
male education.
=. To assist mothers and teachers to
understand the best principles OF edu-
cation. and afford them opportunities for
consultation and cooperation, SO that
the wisdom and experience of each may
be profitable TO all.
3 To provide for this purpose lectures
dealing with education in its physical,
mental, and moral aspects.
Educational Magazine.
l. To afford to girls and young women
who have been well educated an oppor-
tunity OF maintaining an interest in in
tellectual and literary matters. and to
publish for that purpose magazine
dealing with educational subjects in
language understood by the majority.

influential association. the African Times
and Orient Review. of London. an organ
of young Orientals. conducted by Duse
Mahomed. an Egyptian nationalist, says

Ella: You can keep your face free from
ugly hairy growths by using the following
treatment when necessary: Mix a little
powdered delatone with water and apply
the paste to the Objectionable hairs. After
ABOUT Two minutes rub OF and the hairs

marks are quickly erased from the skin
by the following treatment: Into u pint
cola water dissolve o0nce dlnozoin ana
add 9 teaspoonfuls gly crime. Let stand
one day, then at night apply generously
to skin covering the wrinkles. This pro-
tects the surface and stimulates the
blood vessels just beneath the skin and
so energizes the starved tissues under

A NEW DECORATIVE SCHEME,

May Find Approval Among Those
Who Have Time to Devote 10 II.
The country house has added much to
the joy Of life, for 1t caters to the inher-
ent love in all human beings for the
open and for ''the comforts of home"
This season starts a new idea in their
furnishing-that II the architecture OF
your suburban home is pronounced
Italian. French, German or English type
it must be furnished in harmony. Indi-
.ytdual- -ropu,s. bedrooms. MUSHROOMS,
den" etc, are, or may be, excepted, but
the scheme is intended to prevail
throughout the more generaliy-used
rooms. -
Thus, If you have an English cottage
or house the furnishing therein should be
along English lines = Adams, Sheraton.
Chippendaie or any of. the other styles.
italian furnishings should prevail in the
suburban home of Italian architecture
German IN houses of Dutch character.
and SO on. Truly this opens up a new
vista for the house decorator ana home

HOME DRESSMAKING

Old-time gowns In new-time fabrics
meet us on every hand with \ pleasing
surprise. They are a grateful change
from the dresses OF few years back,
that were prim, and stiff, and most UNI
interesting. The style OF dress today is
graceful and artistic, and the vogue for
a combination of colors gives opportunity
10 work out picturesque costumes. This
Is especially true when dealing with
dresses for chfdren and young girls. for
with these youthful frocks one can go
almost any limit without appearing
ridiculous The more youthful the
-wearer the more quaint an old-fashioned
gown becomes, and in like manner the
more attractive striking color combina-
tions appear. Special occasion frocks
that show a daintiness equal to their
frills and furbelows Of those intended
for their elder sisters, but they have
q certain air that Enthusiastically marks
them as belonging to their young wearers
New Materials and Colers.
Tc be interested in the new dresses
one must first know something of the
new materials. Reference has been made
to the various weaves and colors that
are offered this season, but there is al
ways something new and something
more to be. said about them. There is
an unusual number of novelty weaves
this season, and from these II Is difficult
to choose, for they are all lovely. As
for colors-well. all that can be said Is
that they never were So charming as
they are this summer. In a way, they
are crude, and they lack the soft blend
ing that is attractive in the pastel shades.
but their very crudeness and the daring
way in which they are combined is fasci-
mating. 1t is taking a good bit upon
oneself TO say which color is the most
fashionable this season, for all colors are
fashionable, therefore, 1t Is q matter of
selecting one that Is becoming and suit
able for the occasion for which 1t is in
tended. In spite of the extreme popu-
larity Of colors, white is by no means to
be ignored, for 1t has a very prominent
place among dress materials for whole
gowns, and for combination with colors.
Figured goods in either stripes or tiny
flowers are seen in almost every weave,
and they give the designer an excellent
opportunity to combine colors- Plaids
are used, but are by no means as well
