For the DRESSING Table.

boxes, all to match. may be made, to
harmonic with the color scheme OF ones
room and embroidered with ones initial
or monogram.
The light wooden boxes which are made
for burnt work, may be purchased for
the purpose. They are nicely made, have
brass hinges and clasps and may be had
in various shapes and sizes. Ordinary
pasteboard boxes might be made to
serve. if strong enough.
II the wooden boxes are used. the in

afterward may receive a coat of shellac

sachet powder should be made to fit the
bottom OF the box. The outside covering

padded IL one wishes to do so. The en-
broidery is finished of course, before
hand, and the edges of the box may be
finished with fancy braid of dull gold
or a color which may be either stitched
or glued into place.
The material chosen should not have a
very decided pattern, as the embroidery
will not show up to as good advantage as
upon a MORE. poplin or silk with self
toned stripe or figure. The embroidery
may be padded and worked solid.

NEW YORK. July 2--What. n any. ef

who follow the vasarfes OF new styles
more than do their elders.

these fashions are not a success. And
they are attractive. too, which is another
count IN their favor.
Fortunately. there Is nothing extreme
IN them. for there are prophets who be-
iieve that the strange things turned out
IN the name of fashion during the last
year have had their way. Women are
tired Of them. and the dreesmakers are
fretted over their appearance on those
for whom they were not intended ana
over their Implications in lesser hands.
That there Is much dissatisfaction over
what Is in fashion, and loud outcry FOR
something else, no one doubts for mo-
ment. and he need not have his ear to

Basque and Tunic Combined.
No novelty is introduced into them
with which We are not quite familiar.
The long tunic is used, also the Premet
basque. which was a startling novelty
when the salamander frocks were first
introduced
Since that revolutionary day in Feb
ruary when Nine. lie Franc, the late
head of the house of Premet. wore the
basque with its front darts and back
seams. the ruffied skirt beneath. and the
sash tied where child would tie 1t, the
garment has undergone many transfer

in the salamander fashions.
The Cheruit tunic is there also used;
most of the dressmakers combine the
two. only Premet and Cabot continuing
with the frilly skirts which the insiders
think will rule the summer. But the frills
would not carry out the laws of dress as
the heroine laid them down. and there
