Presents For the Bride
Original Creations Ar
Evolved by the Ingenious
Girl Friend.

A BRIDE is usually provided
~ with lingerie, but there are,
however, many accessories
that may be given by the girl friend.
Fancy nightgowns, pretty enough to
answer for negligees, are of soft silk,
crepe de chine or wash taffeta. They
are trimmed with real Valenciennes
and narrow filet or with effective imi-
tations of these same laces. Gener-
GUS bows of wash ribbon should be
used as finishing touch.
Petticoats, too, make charming
gifts; and. as they require only a bit
of material, they can, with little
ingenuity and the use of fine laces and
ribbons. be evolved into dreams of
loneliness.
Bed Jackets Fascinating.
Matinees or bed jackets of sheer
handkerchief linen, embroidered ba-
tiste or crepe de chine combined with
pleatings of creamy lace, are fasci-
mating. The possibilities of boudoir
caps and breakfast bonnets are limit
less. An original girl can make
dainty materials into creations quite
unlike anything the most exclusive
shops have shown.
Caps of fine dotted silk net with
layer of chiffon for hrmness lend
beautifully to a trimming of bows and
flowers. A cap just finished for a
June bride is Dutch cut and trimmed
with soft bowknots of twisted white
satin and lovely silk Marguerites. A
combination OF pink and blue in very
pale tints is equally charming on
negligee. Stiff ribbon should never
be used, but knots or bows should
nestle among the laces.
Gifts Include Corset Bags.
Nightgown cases, slipper bags, cor
set bags and boudoir pillows come
under the list of dainty handmade
gifts suitable for the bride. Sheer
linen, fine batiste or the popular or
candle, if used with motifs of real
filet or Venetian lace, lined with pale
silk and finished with a cluster of the
ribbon flowers, make the loveliest Of
membranes.
Giving things in pairs or sets is
quite the thing. Satin or taffeta slip
pers, combined with garters and cap,
make a charming trio, or carriers OF
pleated lace and fat flower clusters tc
send with mule sandals of plain ma
terial, finished around the top with d
pleated frill OF lace.
Another idea that appeals to bride
no matter how many she may have
already--is embodied in set Of coat
hangers, four or six slipper trees and
chintz covered hat box, large and
round, for the guest room closet.
Guest Room Presents Acceptable.
Dainty cross stitched markers for
the piles OF linen that will assuredly
grace the brides linen closet, dresser
covers or toilet table covers of fine
linen, monogrammed and ornamented
with inserted lace motifs, will also
make attractive gifts.

bodice the square decolletage of
which is partly outlined with wired
white lace Medici collar.
Roses in lieu Of bows tip the ends
OF the ribons which hold in the
draperies, and in some instances are
placed at intervals upon the girdles of
evening gowns.
Still more novel, however, is the
6rocaded effect produced by attaching
roses in geometrical designs on a
gauze fabric.
A remarkably tall young matron
who lives at the Ritz-carYton wore
IN its restaurant an informal dinner
gown in night blue taffeta yelled with
side-pointed, self-toned chiffon

roses. A broad golden yellow ribbon
crossing the shoulders and separating
the V neck's frill from mousquetaire
sleeves was rose-caught where it
crossed at the bust and again at the
back of the waist.

placed in a convenient corner OF the
rear lot, each days garbage may be
disposed of in a 5ensible way, insur-
ing sanitary conditions and the re-
moval of the great fly attraction.
Vegetable Closet Economical.
The wire vegetable and fruit closet
for the cellar, on castors, and with
one door or a drop door for each
shelf, keeps the vegetables and fruits
from the ground and provides q cir-
culation of air about them which pre-
vents decay. 1t is also rat-proof-
another recommendation. Every one
knows that a we'll cared for kitchen
garden yields more than can possibly
be used each day for the family
kitchen. Even though it is at first
sent away as gifts and an honest ef-
fort is made to dispose of it, after
a time It is allowed to decay where
it is thrown, and thus becomes
breeding place for flies. To prevent
this, have a hole dug in the ground
and as things are deposited throw in
a sprinkling of lime, set one OF the
traps near the hole and all danger
will be done away with.

in which the trap will give good SER

For Informal Wear
Gowns of Cotton Crepe Are
Worn with Leghorn
Hats.

ELOWERED, figured and striped
n cotton crepes are made up into
so many attractive dresses, ap-
propriatc for a garden party, an out
of-town wedding or the country. that
it is hard to choose wisely between
them.
Silk and Crepe Gown.
Sketched on this page is the back
view of charming frock of Japanese
silk and cotton crepe made up effec-
lively in blue and white. The waist
has a vest in front and yoke in back
OF white crepe. The front is fastened
by FIVE covered buttons. A standing
collar. trimming the waist in the back,
is made by hand. The striking feature
of the dress is the skirt. 1t is made
with a long apron tunic, draped in
hustle effect in the back, where it is
lifted to show a ruff1ed underskirt.
The belt is of pan velvet, which joins
the waist and skirt and is finished by
picot edge. In all colors, price S32 so.
Leehorn Hat with Rose.
The hat shown with the frock just
described is a rather large Leghorn.
with a crown OF pink watered ribbon
outlined by shadow lace. In the front
are placed blackberries and lovely
La France rose. On the underbrim is
little piece of shadow lace, soft
against the hair. Made to order, in
any color, price SIS.

Use Of FormaIdehyde.
If flies do get into the house in
spite of all precautions, an excellent
thing to do is to close each room in
turn where they are and burn a small
formaldehyde candle, which will also
destroy mosquitoes at the same time.

some of the poison clinging to their
feet and are apt to light where it
might do serious damage.
