elly graceful.
Thin muslins, nainsooks, and
cambrics make up the body of the
garments. Much beading is used to
carry the ribbons which make gay the
several pieces.
In the midst of winter, when eve.
nings are long and days are most
comfortably spent in the house, un.
derwear for the coming summer
should be made up. In fact, the bulk
of the summer sewing can be done
long before the clothes are needed.
Spring goods are on display in jan
uary, and by the first of February
styles for the coming spring and sum.
mer are fairly well settled.
A night dress of cancbric and Val
lace is shown in the picture
The yoke and very short sleeves
are in one and made of Val in
sertions. There are two patterns
of lace, the rows sewed togeth-
er. The kimono sleeve portion may
be heightened by adding rows of
insertion. A narrow edging fin
ishes the opening at the neck, and
a wider edge in the same pattern fin
ishes the sleeves.
The rows of lace may be whipped"
together, that is, sewed edge to edge
with a short overcast stitch, or sewed
on the machine.
The yoke is Joined to the skirt of
the gown by a narrow band of en-
broidered beading. Through this a
ribbon is run, which ties at the front
in small bow. This ribbon serves
to adjust the gown to the figure.
For such pretty night -obes. sepa-
rate bows and rosettes OF ribbon are
provided They are to be pinned on
with very small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top of the sleeves,
matching the other ribbons, but
without hanging ends, may be added
b! way of elaboration.

design, too, is appropriate to older
women, as well as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference in
fiounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight. The fiounces are adjusted
in differing poses. Sometimes, as in
the gown pictured; they sag toward
the back, but in a good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The waist line is about the normal
in most of them. While waists are
draped, these are set in sleeves as
well as drop shoulder and kimono ef-
fects. Ribbons ere conspicuous, and
the tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-.
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
in her own ability, can put together a
fiounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
slope, with even fullness, and in not
getting them too full
The three flounced skirt, having the
fiounces shaped, is displayed for heav.
ier fabrics, and is wonderfully attrac-
tive.
There is a world of light, airy fab
RIGS, fascinating in design, and world
of filmy laces, moderate in prics, so
that the aounced gown has a pleasant
future before it. Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure, so that
fiounces do not mean bulkiness That
is tabooed. and is likely to remain SO.

IF you wish to busy yourself pre-
l pairing for the coming spring and
summer. you can be assured of the
success Of certain new styles in ad-
vance. 1t is wise to be ready for the
season which lures us out of doors,
and to make the most of it.
Here is the sweetest of summer
gowns, made of silk muslin and lace
with a fichu and a belt of satin rib
bon. Similar gowns are on display
made of variety of materials. There
are embroidered cotton crepes. first
of all. Nets, with flounces edged with
lace, embroidered crepe de chine and
voiles. But always lace and more lace.
Point d'esprit net is found very USE
full and fine fowered voiles, lawns and
batiste.
Among the handsomest of gowns
are those of white net showing flounc-
ings of the net edged with narrow
black chantilly lace. Others of sheer
cotton crepe with fold of black maline
laid under the edge of fiouncings.
Much hand embroidery appears on
the gowns of crepe, voile, etc. But
it is of Kind that does not try the
eyes. Long sprays of flowers of mod
crate size-like the carnation, for ex-
ample-are done with heavy floss in
long bold stitches. The effect is beau
tiful. The gowns are in white or
pale colors. White is the loveliest,
and the light colored underslip with a
lace-trimmed petticoat of net worn
under these gowns is beautiful.
1t would be hard to find simpler
or prettier model than that shown in
the picture, for founced gown. The

Why Not Tag
Idaho Bachelors?

A great many state legislatures
have given consideration to bills
taxing bachelors and many con-
vinclng arguments have been pre-
sented why men who escape
matrlmony should pay a penalty
but why not tag them as a more
painless and effective method OF
determination? If the bachelors
were tagged the widows could
easily find them and cupid would
do the rest. The batchelor is
naturally timid. but under the
encouraging influences of a merry
widow he can easily be led to the
alter, for there is no more help.
less craft afloat than a lovesick
swain who has passed the age of
discretion, and the little imp that
plays ping-pong with human
hearts has no more capable ally
than a woman who loves at Sc
cond sight, for experience makes
Cupid subtle and bold.
The women have tag DAYS to
promote most every other public
enterprise and why not tag day
for batchelors. We have in Ida.
ho approximately ten thousand
bachelors and an equal number
OF widows. Why not get them
together and solve two vexatious
problems with one marriage IL
cense?
