nut of the conglomeratiOn of styles
~ which the beginning of winter
ushered in, many are passing and
few are to remain for spring. Here
is a pretty and rather plain cloth
gown for present wear, which may be
copied in taffeta silk. figured or plain
wolfe Tor BOTH, in white embroidered
fabrics-in fact, in any of the beauti-
full summer materials. 1t will be found
strictly up to date when the time
comes for wearing it.
A very pretty development OF It
shows plain skirt, quite full enough
to step in at the normal stride, with
the hip drapery made of figured voile
having u white ground with colored
flowers. The bodice is made of this
wolfe combined with shadow lace.
There is a girdle of leaf green MESA
line ribbon and a sash which extends
about the figure under the drapery
and ties in a bow (at the right side)
with short hanging ends. These pref
ty voiles sell at a very reasonable
price-in the neighborhood of forty
cents a yard-and make up into as
elegant looking dresses as those that
cost four or five times as much.
We are to have a spring and sum-
mer season with everything flower
decked. Small flowers on hats.

the tendency to the quaint old-fash

Powder Putfs for the Purse.

Little crocheted powder puffs are
the latest novelty for the purse. They
can easily be made at home.
Crochet two circular pieces about
the size of a silver dollar out of mer-
cerized cotton of any shade desired.
Carefully sew them together, leaving
small openings through which to pour
in the powder. Fill the bag full with
the powder, so that IT will sift through
easily when patted gently on the face
Then make a pretty edge around the
circular piece by crocheting a few
rows of plain chain stitch, each added
row to be caught into the middle OF
the preceding one, which gives a sort
of ruffe effect An opening can safe
ly be made by cutting a stitch or two
when it is necessary to refill the puff.

1t is poised under the lace.
By way of trimming, narrow rib
bon ruching is placed about the crown
and a rosette of baby ribbon with
hanging ends is placed at the side.
Ties OF ribbon about three inches
wide complete this pretty piece of
headgear.
Bonnets of this kind are made up
in all the colors that children wear,
and are very practical for almost
every season of the year. Tiny
boquets of fruit blossoms, little June
roses, forget-me-nots, and little daisies
are added. Flowers and ribbons are
of all things the best for children's
millinery.
When made of the darker colors, as
brown or tan, with white or cream
lace ruffles, bonnets of this kind are
quite durable.
The dainty tints are not very sue

millinery is for wear on dress-up
occasions

New Materials for Toilet Ar lies.

If you must be abreast of the times
throw away or give away the toilet
articles in silver, ivory or celluloid
which have been your faithful friends
for years, and get everything new in
art glass, which comes in the most
alluring tints of cream, rose, mauve
and green and in classically severe de-
signs. The little boxes for powder,
rouge and soap have square bottoms
like the base of a Corinthian pillar
and convex covers like the dome of
the Madeleine, while the clock cases,
pin trays and mirror backs are equal

care for toilet articles in glass, even
