crossing Of the blouse fronts. A high
girdle Of black charmeuse gives shape to
the blouse and is made even higher in
front by two small pointed bibs. set in
above with their points tackled in place
against the waist.
pretty touch is given by lining the
girdle with emerald green. glimpses of
which can be had where it is tied in
back in a square bow. or it may be tied
with long sash ends if desired
The tunic is in two f1ounces. both evenly
gathered under the waist. The shorter
one has its front edges soped off and
crossing one another. Both dip a trfle
to the back. but the difference in length
is kept perfectly even all round-the low
er one being some four or FIVE inches
longer than the upper. In reality. the
lower f1ounce is of white net faced on
the outside with strip of the chiffon,
where it shows below the shorter founce.
This gives more transparent effect and
at the same time lends little body and
helps toward a slightly outstanding APP
pearance.
The skirt of black charmeuse is joined
down the center and sashed with curved
corners at the feet. The draping is all
arranged in front by means of a few fiat,
lifted folds. To keep the appearance of
a white tunic, it will be best to attach

A TARTAN WITH A
SNOW-WHITE GROUND

One of the new tartan silks has a white
ground. with a border of black and deep
blue, and is as soft as muslin, falling
into the prettest of folds 1t is found in a
prettily pointed double tunic. with the
points above the belt ribbon caught into
the waist with roses in the same blue as
upon the design White lace over white
muslin makes the becoming bodice.
A Number Of Details.
The fantastic collar is in leaves of
muslin The sleeves are full and slightly
putting. with frill of the muslin giving
them a pretty finish. The skirt is in
black taffeta, in order to make the cos
tune more wearable. Skirts are still
rather narrow at the hem, yet wide
enough for walking purposes.
The accompanying hat. tilted at the
side. showing the hair to every advan-
tage. recalls the Vatican period. 1t is
in dark blue straw of 3. fine texture, with
barely any crown. The sole trimming
consists OF roses of different sizes shad-
ing from pink to red. with black velvet
foliage. Three of the flowers rest prettily
upon the hair beneath the wide brim, and
the back is completed with cache-peigne
of foliage

Of black. Every one seems to be content.
There is no reason to go against it in
Paris. where. as a rule, the climate of
all the summer resorts is amenable to
black. In America It remains to be seen
whether not women will follow the
French lead.
Those who are here buying clothes are
not protesting against 1t: one sees fasci-
mating frocks of taffeta plain and wa
tered, of tulle. of lace being made for
Newport and Bar Harbor and the dress
makers predict an unusually strong sea
son in black lace. What is known as the
Cabot design is important and popular.
There is a vermicelli design raised on a
good lace which is made up from flowers
of net applied to tulle foundation with
a tiny silver thread.
| 1t is the use of these laces with white
tulle and white wigs that gives that
[ eighteenth century effect to many of the
social affairs of the season: and even the
women who do not go in for white hair
are using in the afternoon black ribbon
around the neck and wrists caught with
| a design of diamonds. and immense frills
| of white tulle at the neck and as a
finish to the elbow sleeves
| Gowns of thin white brocade with pink
flowers have two bodices that are gar
landed with small satin roses. and one

roses; and everywhere one sees colored
heels on slippers.

USES OF BEET ROOT.

Beet roots contain a large proportion OF
potash salts and are consequently most
wholesome. There are several interest
ing ways of serving them. apart from
the usual salad and pickle form. To
cook beet roots they should flrst be soaked
in lukewarm water and all dirt removed.
Then put them In steamer and let them
cook for two or three hours. according to
size. When done dip in cold water and
peel off the skin while hot. They can

about the same time to COOK.

At dinner the other night this re-
semblance between the fashion of the mo-
ment and fashion of the last century
was so marked that it became the fea-
tufe of the table talk. Two women wore
gowns of lace and roses, ruches and
canoes in such a pronounced eighteenth
century style that three months ago they
would have been definitely put down as
In fancy dress.
One woman had her hair powdered at
the temples, a little at the back and
straight up the middle of the front. Over
each temple she wore a ringlet of white
hair.
