Quite Variety of Different Materials
Have Their Followers This
Season.

Taffetas, crepes, groSsgralns, failles
especially black satin. Taffeta with
its high luster and both soft and very
slightly stiffened finish, has manifold
uses. 1t is exactly suited to the dis
tended, founced and frilly gown of to-
day. Summer taffetas include stripes.
checks. small mayfOwer blossoms and
pOmpadour bouquets in subdued color
ings that make up well alone or in
frilled or distended pannier styles,
with a shirt Of plain silk chiffon ac-
contemplated, mousseIne embrod-
cred and so on. Light gray, champagne,
old rose and French blue shades are
smart.
For elaborate evening gowns, tulle,
net or mOusselne and taffeta are
worked up together with metal en-
broidery or metal embroidered lace APP
piled, and the result is exquisite. Sill
yer or gold cloth skirts are made with
overdresses Of plain or printed taffeta.
Gray taffeta with pompadour bouquets
Is combined with old blue moussellne.
A late idea for the use Of taffeta Is
set of short directoire cape and hat
to match. The hat Is of taffeta or
much trimmed with the silk, and the
short cape Is edged with a tiny plated
ruffle, has turnover collar and is
draped on the shoulders. Longer capes
or wraps in light shades Of taffeta,
faille, gros de Londres, etc, are worn
in the evening. Some new printed taft
fetas have an inch or two-inch stripe
in a cashmere design on n neutral
ground. Others have simple lines of
different lengths, geometrical in effect.
Broche satin In rose designs with foil
age are on snt1n. Foulards In polka
lots, rings, Angle blossoms, pompa'

TWO STYLES HAVE CHARM
FIower-Decked Millinery and the New
Petticoats Win the Admira-
ton of All.

Summer would not be summer with
out the fiower-decked hat, but the no.
ton rarely lasts longer except on the
large picture hat of leghorn, erin, or
hemp, which completes the June
bridesmaids costume or the summer
beauty's dainty frock. This season,
however, there is strong indication
that flowers will play more than their
ordinary role in summer millinery.
The Northumberland, rather stiff
tailored hat, with it's outstanding bou-
quet of vari-colored blossoms, so popu-
lar some years back, is being noticed
here and there; one see, also, num-
Der of flower turbans; flower crowns
are favored with certain costumes, and
wreaths are quite popular. The flower
stenciled hats are very we'll liked in
deed. Ribbon, too, is smart for trim
ming and ostrich, in the form of fringe
and fancies, is popular trimming.
The new petticoats are truly deli
cious with their full ruches round the
hem, the most elegant, destined for
wear under the gossamer summer
frocks that are coming, being light
ly wired half way up the skirt to
give that billowy aspect of movement
that is as refreshing as a breeze on a
hot summers day.

TURN AGAIN TO PATCHWORK
Old Fashion Is Being Revived-Scrim
as a Material for the
Curtains.

Piecing the old-fashioned patchwork
quilt is again popular occupation.
Nursery quilts are made of heavy cot
ton or linen sketched with designs to
be worked with floss, Mother Goose
figures being favorites. Simple pat
terms done in blue and white or rose
and white chambray are chosen for
boys rooms. The mystic rose design,
now popular, calls for a pale pink cali
CO, rose shade, a rich red and the
right shade of green for foliage. The
morning-glory pattern of rose and
French blue calico, is also favorite.
The -four patches" calls for white
background dotted with tiny pink
rosebuds. For colonial bed the old
log cabin design is chosen.
Loosely woven gray scrim which is
inexpensive, would make extremely
gQod-looking curtains for your living
room or library. Use the selvage as
a finish for the sides and across the
bottom hemstitch a two-inch hem.
An unusual way to decorate the cur
tains is to embroider a stencil pattern
in green's and bronze. A quaint foil
age pattern would give the right eff
feet. Place the stencil on the cur
tains, and with pencil mark the pat
tern. BY holding the pencil in an up
right position and following the cut
line of the stencil board, the outline
can be readily traced. Simple, sketchy
stitches should be used for the EN-.
broidery, as light shadowy effect is
desired. Another unique color combi.
nation is dull silver and orange; then
when the light shines through the cur.
tains the embroidery will emit bright
bit of color This sort of curtain will

Wraps Of SILK.

Wraps Of taffetas in delicate eve
ming shades, as we'll as those which
offer dark blue, black gay, brown and
green, are very smart Not more so,
however, than the cape wraps made of
dark blue serge and black satin,
while capes in army gray or of any
of the colored cloths used for foreign
officers capes are most recherche.
Black satin is making it's bow as a
fabric for separate coat, jacket and
wrap wear.
A number have been noticed during
the week, worn with costumes of diff
ferent mold. 1t is thought the sepa-
rate box coat of black taffeta or satin
will be quite modish for this seasons
usage.

penditures. Since the cost of living is
constantly advancing it is vitality nee
essary that deep concern be paid to
reducing certain items of expenditure
Food for the family costs more than
any other item, and those who work
with the thriftless and improvident
know that their condition is largely a
matter of what they spend for the in
side rather than the outside of the
body.
Since meat makes up large part of
the ordinary family diet, any economy
in the purchase of it will make a no.
.ticeable reduction in the food bill. By
using meat substitutes, which are less
expensive, but as nutritious, the
amount may be cut down by half. The
use of cheese, which is rich in pro-
TEN, pound of cheese being equal to
two pounds Of meat in food value with
much less waste, will prove most sat
fsfactory.
1t is a great advantage to market
in person; she sees the food products,
Is able to furnish variety and if she
has strength of mind enough to re-
fuse to buy that which she knows she
cannot afford, no matter how alluring,
she will find her marketing profitable
The butcher will not give short weight
with the customer looking on, though
the difference may be small 1t amounts
to much in the course of year.
The cheaper cuts of meat, nuts pre-
pared in loaf, eggs in various forms,
are all economical dishes when pre-
pared intelligently.
The utilizing of left-overs in the
planning of the meals is another i'm
portant item. 1t goes without saying
that the economical housewife makes
out her menu days ahead in order to
save expense and use those left-overs
proftably.
Brown bread, white bread or whole
wheat bread is made more wholesome
by the addition of few raisins.
Fruit and vegetables lend them
selves to all sorts Of combinations. AS
soups and salads they are satisfac-
tory.

Enamel of almost any shade of color
may be purchased for trdfle, in small
tins, together with brush for putting
it on, and one small tin will be suf-
ficient for this purpose.
Both sides of the horse are draped
with silk which is arranged in plaits
and gathered into tiny frill at the
top and bottom.
The silk is fastened to the upper
and lower bars with tacks and over
the tacks narrow braid is fastened on
with fancy brass-headed nails driven
in close together.

MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Ioss Is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis show that
nearly 1900 agencies are now listed in
the fight against tuberculosis in the
United States, an increase of 1,600 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association
The list includes 557 sanatora and
hospitals, 15S tuberculosis boarding
houses, 80 hospitals for the insane and
80 penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis 400 dis
pensarieS. 80 open air schools, and
1924 anti-tuberculOsis associations
and committees. To these are added
15S Canadian institutions and asSOcia-
tons, making total of 3,0S7. The di-
rectOry also gives a summary of mu-
nicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culoSiS.
When the national association was
formed in 1904 and the first list Of
agencies was printed only 1873 organi-
cations and institutions We're found.
The second edition of the directory in
1908 reported $40 different agencies !;
and / ,440 We're listed in the third edi-
ton published in 1911. On the basis
of the latter figures, the number Of
agencies in the anti-tuberculOsis move
ment has increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.

SILKS THAT ARE FAVORED

dour effects, mayflowcrs and spring
blossoms, such as clover, buttercups,
etc. are stunning designs, Foulard is
cool, durable and very attractive as
a summer silk.
Tinsel woven crepes, made up with
cloth of gold or silver, make elegant
evening costumes. A new crepe swans
down is as silky and downy as one
can imagine. Just little crepey, with
the silky down finish that gives it a
wonderful effect made up alone or
with a satin taffeta, chiffon, etc.
