THE new HUCKABACK
AND SPONGE CREPES

Sponge and ''huckaback' orepes will
be the leading fabrics for tennis and sum-
mer frocks generally, and there are none
smarter or moro servceable for they
look as dainty as possible. and yet will
stand an extraordinary amount OF hard
wear. and when necessary will wash
like rag" emerging fresh and charming
from the ordeal OF the laundry.
Some wonderful gowns Of these faog1cs
are being made in the lovel1est shades,
amber and deep rose. delicate honey
suckle tints Of pink or yellow. pervenche
and mauve, the e>er-useful navy and
royal blue. ethereal grays, cream, mastc
and white.
Exquisite Finish
Chic to a degree, each gown Is designed
after the latest and best style. and I'm
ished with those delightful little touches
that set a cachet on the simplest frock.
Collars and cuffs OF fairylike embroid-
cred lawn, silk sashes with fringed and
embroidered ends and buttons embroidered
to correspond provide the adornments.
They are eminently suitable for stately
wearers, too. who are no longer young.
and whose requirements are SO oIten lg-
nored by modistes.
A delightful little frock is in sponge
crepe of any color with embroidered silk
girdle. Another is Of white crepe with
coat effect. hemstitched band on the
skirt. and little worked lawn vest and
collar. A third design shows q silk sash,
and the fourth has a wide silk sash
draped in novel fashion.
The distinctive feature of a gown of
crepe sponge is the embroidered girdle in
Persian colors: while yet another is Of
cream crepe sponge. with the new plisse
tunic, and collar and cuffs Of fine EN-
broidered lawn.

economy can save tailors' bills by clean
ing and pressing the husbands clothes
at home. At first they may not show
the professional hand, but the amateur
should not be long evident. With the
tools at hand in the ordinary household
it Is possible to make mems clothing
perfectly presentable If one is willing to
take pains.
The first step Is to pin all clothing
to be renovated up to the line. Choose
sunny day, because the sun will bring
out all the spots and soil Then give
them gentle beating with a rattan to
dislodge dust and let them get a blow

This is an ounce of soap bark boiled
in a quart of water for an hour and then
strained and cooled sufficiently to work
with.
A bare ironing board makes good ia
BILE for cleaning mems clothing upon,
though the ordinary kitchen table will
answer. Having discovered the spots and
stains, these should first be brushed on.
II they are greasy they should be rubbed
with gasoline, using pad underneath
This pad should always be placed under
stains while removing them. because it
receives the dirt forced through by the

the case of trousers being very soiled all
over 1t will be perfectly safe to put them
into the tub with the soap bark liquid.
adding hot water to make sufficient for
washing the whole garment. The spots
can be scrubbed with brush.
To press trousers washed in this way re-
move from the line before becoming quite
dry and press, using dry cloth between
the iron and the garment. Be careful
to get the crease straight down the leg
fronts. With striped goods this Is no
trouble, OF course but with plain goods
place outer and inner seams of each leg
together, and then fold. When perfectly
straight and smooth press firmly.
When spots only are cleaned and not

wrung out of warm water on the gar
ment, and go over with a very hot iron.
Do little at a time and keep pressing
until cloth and trousers are dry.
Clothing in good condition can be

cloth wrung out Of warm water to

PARIS. April 2a-The loose coatee
in thin velours de laine, with a belt rest
ing on the hips. remains a favorite in
Paris. These delightful garments are
worn with short, rather tight, skirts OF
the same material or with pleated skirts
in charmeuse or silk cashmere Subtle
| shades Of blue are very much used in
connection with these coats and all the
soft rose shades, from "cyclamen'' to
''japonica-

mades OF fine serge or camel-hair cloth
with the best results. This particular
shade of yellow will largely take the
place of Irvine and mastic tints. and it
will be equally popular for day and even
| ing wear
| Apropos pale lemon-yellow one must
not neglect to signal the Introduction OF
this shade into the world of face pow
ders. OF recent times the Parisiennes
seem to have gone mad over tinted face
powders and tinted wigs. Just now the
very latest idea is a pale lemon-y elbow
face powder which is supposed to give
an extraordinary softness to the skin

VIENNA. April CIT takes but little

funereal blacks and dingy browns.
We were not more than a week out
from New York when this wall went up
from a travelling companion on board:
Just look at these silly clothes I've
brought. All the things / really want are
home. and 1 haven't a single sensible
thing!"
She sat in our stateroom with a hope
less expression on her face and a dull
blue chiffon blouse in her lap.
And l thought this would be Just the
thing because it was dark, Oh. why didn't

stupid. dreary. old flannel blouse?'
Naturally, the flannel blouse would
have been more appropriate than the
chiffon. but. as I have observed before
1t is quite possible to have appropriate
travelling clothes without resorting to the
stupid and "dreary" effects.
For instance, take note of the very
clever costume OF the sketch. which has
been adapted from charming model

PARIS, April est is very happy
fact that the pictorial in dress is re-
vived. There are many women who go
we'll with it; women to whom the Sc
we're mannish style is utterly insult
able
Many of the dressmakers have strug-
sled to bring back the pictorial, ana
in this they have been aided and en-
outraged by the artists. who recently
have allied themselves to the art of
dress in a pronounced manner.
There are few artists who have been
successful in this alliance and their
failure is easily understood when one
remembers that. after all. a costume is
not colored plate; it is a mechanical
adjustment of cloth This fact the ar
fist overlooks. Paris is full of the Cos
sip of such failures. and If one had
the space to repeat ii. there would be
interesting reading

makers are struggling to satisfy a

Newest Dinner Gown.

The sketch shows gown made by
Beer intended for dinner and theater
wear. and the woman who wore it had
enough sense of the picturesque to add
a white wig to it and omit all jewels.
The material Is apricot taffeta with a
circular ruffle that starts high at the
back and is graded into two long ends
that cross in front. wrap the knees
and are knotted In the back.
The blouse and the apron front are
of white lace. or rather white net with
a flower design of white chiffon. The
deep-toned apricot flowers that drape
the bodice and outline the apron front
are made of velvet

There is not a woman in the world
who will not stand in front of her mirror,
when her toilet is complete. to make
quite sure that the general effect is all
that it should be; she will give touch
here and pat there. arranging hair or
lace. as is the feminine habit all the
world over. Still. one often wonders how
many women take the trouble to study
the back Of their gowns with the same
scrupulous care that they bestow on the
front.
Judging by the distinctly unfinished APP
pearance Of many backs one passes in
the streets, longer time spent before
the glass, small mirror in hand. would
be to many distinct advantage.
Consider Your Back.
In the same way, when choosing
gown. people are often apt to forget that
to achieve success 1t must appear equally
well from all points Of view, and the
lines at back and sides studied with as
much care as those in front. and in these
days of tunics and pannier 1t is espe-
cially necessary to take this reminder to
heart.
The skirt of a clever dress draped on

very simple pattern, with plenty of

Berry-Red Ripple Cloth.
