| there really is nothing new under the

! The description of the costume of the

authority: Frescoes and faience

varied by plated ruffies and straight

have they been so alluring. Another

us one of the most charming shapes

are in the Japanese, so-called Chin
Chin shape, of printed linen or pom
gee. with long camphor-wood handles.
One of yellow tussore had small
clear green. Each rib was tipped
with a Chinese jade bead, and a jade
ball was poised on the top of the
slender handle. Another of the same
cream silk and all around the center
point was a cluster of yellow cherries
on green silk stems of various lengths,
while another bunch decorated the
handle.
Besides the oriental shape the deep
tulip-shaped bell is shown as a con-
trast in dark. rich colors or in the
seasons latest fancy-white net. A
dome-shaped specimen was made OF
finely shirred white net and all around
the edge ran a patriotic combination
of blue MORE ribbon with a line OF
red beads on each side of 1t.
With your flounced 1860 gowns you
may carry an 1850 parasol, small in
size, of conventional shape. with green
silk fringe dripping from its edge.
Or you may choose a pink taffeta affair
with it's points connected by a garland
of pink rosebuds. or another of white
shirred silk with loops of black jet
beads If you like ruff1es. you will
find sunshades made up of rows and
rows of them, sometimes of taffeta.
sometimes of satin ribbon or of frills
of lace on a net or silk foundation.
Occa sionally the shape is varied by
turning back the points all around
like a rolled over lip and tipping each
one with a bead.

Dressy Waists.

TT HE dressy waist, which takes more
u the form of a dress bodice. is made
to match the skirt. Sometimes these
waists are touched up with a contrast
ing color. White is frequently used in
the collars. cuffs, vests, buttons and
other trimmings. White is especially
used on navy blue and black.
A chemise blouse Of filet net and lace
in the natural color has a skirt part of
black chiffon. The blouse belts slight
w below the normal waistline, but the
effect of a lower line is given by the
continuation of the lace below the rib
bon belt Stitched to the tail of the
blouse is a hem of black chiffon. This
blouse has no other opening than that
at the neck and slips on over the head.
1t is of the almost shapeless kimono
cut but the long sleeves are fitted
snugly to the arms from halfway be-
low the elbow to the wrist, where they
are almost skin tight The collar and
inside vest are of flesh-colored mousse
line de sole. This transparent bodice is
worn over a guimpe bodice of flesh
colored mouSSellne.
A dressy blouse is in a combination
of black chiffon and black velvet rib
hon. the latter forming the lower third
of the blouse and the cuff bands. En-
broidery in oriental colors relieves the
sober tones of the materials.
An attractive linen blouse of laven-
der is trimmed with white linen. The
front panel of the waist buttons
straight up to the collar. forming one
continuous line. The sleeves are long,
with cuffs trimmed with the buttons.
A blouse made of the new silkajour,
chiffon with drawn threads, is made in
military style. The vest and strap
pings are of white satin. The sleeves
are full length. with extended GUNS
which fall over the hands.

Fourth of July Lemonade.

EOurCQ OF July LemOQaue.
Fourth of July without lemonade Is
much like the play of Hamlet" with
Hamlet left out.
While every one thinks she knows
just how to make lemonade, guess
work is not always satisfactory. Two
lemons will make three glasses of
lemonade. Here Is tested recipe
Select perfectly sound, thin-skinned
lemons II allowed any choice in the
matter. Chip off the thin yellow outer
skin Of six well-washed lemons, and
steep for ten minutes in a strip made
by dissolving two pounds of sugar in
one quart of water. Meantime, squeeze
the juice from the lemons, strain and
add to a quart of cold water. When
the strip and peel have simmered the
ten minutes, pour in the juice and cold
water and beat thoroughly together.
Leave the chips of peel floating in the
