the cloth to form the upper side OF

three bands of grosgrain ribbon, one
cream white, the next tan color, the
next brown. The ribbons pass through
a pearl buckle at the front of the hat

Church Music,

Such is our nature, that even the
best things, and most worthy of our
esteem, do not always employ and de-
tain our thoughts in proportion to
their real value, unless they be set OF
and greatened by some outward cir.
cumstances, which are fitted to raise
admiration and surprise in the breasts
of those who hear or behold them.
And this good effect is wrought In us
by the power of sacred music, To 1t
we, in good measure, owe the dignity
and solemnity Of our public worship.
Church music, when decently ordered,
may have as great uses in this army
of supplicants as the sound of the
trumpet has among the host of the
mighty men. 1t equally rouses the
courage, equally gives life, and vigor,
and resolution, and unanimity to these

TO SUIT TIE FIGURE.
LINES OF COSTUME MUST BE
- CAREFULLY FASHIONED ii
Combinations and Blending Of colors
and Materials Also Require the
Most Careful Manipulation ,:
rEN, Dainty Design Shown :"

It is one of the important features
of the fashions that, with all the ten
dency to frills and furbelows, there is
usually symmetrical arrangement
Of trimming. This prevents the gen
eral ensemble from assuming tho
mixed-up appearance that might re-
suit If this rule were not. observed.
There are, in the achievement of such
balance" innumerable subtle details
that, though they tax the ingenuity
of the designer, perhaps, to- the utter
most, pass unnoticed or at least un-
appreciated by the casual observer. I.
y Combinations and blending Of colors
and materials require careful manipu-
lation If they are to be successful, and
incidental trimming should be OF such
a nature as to preserve the, intended
character of the lines of a costume.
Above all, the lines should be SO con-
structed that they will conform in
length and breadth to suit the figure
they are to adorn. Ply Il
The dainty design illustrated, for
instance, would suit none other than
a slender, rather tall young figure. It
Is essentially q youthful frock and de-
signed for dancing and evening wear

EASY TO CLEAN BASKET WORK
White or coIored Variety May Be
Freshened and Made Like New
-@ With Soap and Water.

If it is white basket work, mix some
whiting in a pailful Of warm water to
which some soap powder has been
added. Brush the basket work with
the above with a fairly stiff brush, TAX
ing care to go in the crevices. Then
throw clean cold water over 1t until
the whiting is all of. If 1t Is brown
cane, add ammonia instead OF whiting.
A good plan to clean white or light
colored basket work is to put two or
three handfuls of salt to half pailful
of cold or hot water, then scrub, well
all over the basket work, sprinkling
a little fine salt on the brush to clean
the very dirty parts. After thoroughly
cleaning, rinse we'll with clean cold
water. when it will be found to look
almost equal to new. Do this on a
good drying day and not too much In
the sun. ~

work is to get some soft soap and

ADD TO ROOMS, APPEARANCE

Decoration. ;, '@ II

In many houses mirrors serve q
strictly utilitarfan purpose, being con-
fined to the bureau and dressing table

more decorative in home than good
mirrors. The darkest, ugliest room
can be greatly lightened by their judi
cious use, and the smallest room can
be given the suggestion Of space. a3 ~ q
The French have long been sensible
of the effectiveness ct mirrors In
household decoration. From the big
chateau to the tiny tea room they are
regarded as an integral part of the
decorations, not merely a convenience
for hat adjustment or skirt inspection.
