New Spanish Comb.

The last few months have developed
some really interesting things in the
way OF hair decorations. And none is
more interesting than the Spanish
comb, that has only Just lately been
adapted to the use OF our American
mode of hair dressing.
The stiff, high, round comb worn by
the Spanish belle Of fifty or a hundred
years ago was bewitching. But 1t was
suited to the heavy mode Of hair Dress
ing affected by Spanish women Of that
time. The American woman of fashion
is a creature Of infinitely more light
ness and vivacity than the Spanish
woman-although it has been said that
of all women of the world the two
who are the most natural born f1irts
are the American and the Spanish.
There must be something Of vivacity
and lightness in the American woman's
couture even when she arranges 1t a
la Goya. She could not endure to plas
ter her hair down in the heavy coils
so dear to the Spanish woman's heart.
Besides her hair is seldom dark enough
to be effective in this arrangement. So
it Is that the original Spanish comb
had to be modified. And the modifica-
ton has been done with the hand Of an
artist.
In the transformation nothing of the
coquetry of the original has been lost.
Many of these combs are small, little
one sided affairs. that can be put in at
the side of a modified French twist so
that the end of them peeps from behind
the tip of the half-concealed ear at one
side. Others of these combs are larger
and can be arranged either directly in
the middle or slightly at one side of the
couture. r..

Peter Rabbit Is Most Uncom-
Portable.

If ever any one was sorry for hav-
ing played pranks on other folks that
one was Peter Ribbit. I am afraid 1t
wasn't quite the right kind of sorrow.
You see, he wasn't sorry because Of
what had happened to Jimmy Skunk
and Reddy Fox, but because of what
had happened to himself. There he
was, down in the bedroom of Johnny
Chucks old house, smarting and ach-
ing all over from the sharp little lances
of the llow-jackets, who had driven
him down there before he had had
chance to see what happened to Reddy
Fox. That was bad enough. but what
troubled Peter more was the thought
that he couldn't get out without once
again facing those hot-tempered yell
low jackets. You see, their home was
right up in the hall of Johnny Chuck's
old house. Peter wished with all his
might that he had known about 1t be-
fore ever he thought of hiding there.
But wishes of that kind are about
the most useless things In the world.
They wouldn't help him now. He had
so many aches and smarts that he
didn't see how he could stand a single
one more, and yet he couldn't see how
he was going to get out without re-
ceiving several more. All at once he
had a comforting thought. He remem-
bered that Johnny Chuck usually has
back door. II that were the case
here he would be all right. He would
find out. Cautiously he poked his head
out of the snug bedr DOM. There was
the long hall down which he had come.
come.
And there-yes, sir. there was an
other hall! 1t must be the back hall.
Very carefully Peter crept up it.
Funny" thought he, that ! don't
see any light ahead Of me-"
And then he bumped his nose. Yes.

going to como back about dark to wait
for you. I may want to play little
joke on you to pay you back for the
one you played on me"
This put an end to Peters hope Of
a nap. He shivered as he thought Of
what might happen to him II Jimmy
Skunk should catch him. What with
his aches and pains from the stings OF
the yellow jackets and fear of being
caught by Jimmy Skunk. it was quite
impossible to sleep. He was almost
ready to face those Yellow-jackets
rather than wait and meet Jimmy
Skunk. Twice he started up the long
hall. but turned back He just couldn't
stand any more stings. He was miser-
able. Yes, sir, he was miserable and
most uncomfortable in both body and
mind.
Il wish I'd never thought Of that
joke" he half sobbed. ri thought 1t was
a great joke, but it wasn't. It was a
horrid. mean Joke. Why. oh, why did
l ever think Of itv'
Meanwhile Jimmy Skunk had gone of
chuckling.

material employed is jersey silk. plain
white being combined with green and
white striped silk, and the pipings and
belt are of channels.
The side sections from shoulder to
hem are in one, and they are Joined,
as in the plain front panel, to a lining
of net. The frock closes invisibly at
the back. The channels belt which
circles the entire waist is slipped
through the Slots" one on either side
near the front and two similarly placed
in the back. At the exact back center
the jacket is released, making the in
visible fastening easy. Chamois COW
cred buttons fasten and trim the frock.
This dress could also be attractively
developed in pongee or rajah silk.
To make this frock four and a half
yards of jersey silk or other fabric
thirty-six inches is required, with one
and five-eighths yards of striped fab
ric. The pipings of channels are mar
row and. together with the belt and
button coverings, require a skin of
average size. In selecting the channels
care should be used to get one of very
soft and even texture.

sir. Peter bumped his nose against the
end OF that hall. You see, 1t was an
pld house, and like most houses it was
rather tunbledown affair. Anyway, the
back door had been blocked with a great
stone and the walls of the back hall had
fallen in. There was no way out there
Sadly Peter backed out to the little
bedroom. He would wait until night
and perhaps then the Yellow jackets
would be asleep and he could steal out
the front way without getting any more
stings. Meanwhile he would try to
get a nap and forget his aches and
pains.
Hardly had Peter curled up for that
nap when he heard a voice. IT sound

The New Kind of Jumper.

When this fact of fashion was estab-
lished. France sent over jumper of
soft cloth or satin or corded silk that
was cut out in a renaissance lind at the
neck. had long. pearshaped openings
under the arms. was slit up each side
from the hem nearly to the waist, and
had sufficient fullness to allow of a few
pleats at the side of the waist line,
where they were caught with a button.
One of the best imported models was
of blue silk broadcloth. embroidered in
an arabesque of black silk braid, with
bullet-shaped buttons of gun metal at
the side. There was no belt. This was
worn over plain blue pleated skirt
and a thin white blouse.
Since the warm season has advanced,
there is tendency to have jumpers
made of bright colored silks with Chi
nese embroidery, worn over suits of
natural colored tussor, ecru linen or
finely striped muslin.

ANOTHER REVIVAL FOR THE SUMNER.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. May Eft is not easy
to say just when the revival of the
jumper took place. Throughout the last
winter there was a sporadic fashion for
this garment, which one might have
thought was revived for economical
reasons. If the price mark had been
eliminated. But when one pays from
hides the joining of the skirt and the
blouse, then the thought of economy is
an absurdity.
AS the spring slowly emerged from
streets of ice and fields of snow, the
dressmakers showed every intention of
making the jumper quite a feature of
the seasons costumery. 1t was in
keeping with the new movement that
called for shirt waists worn outside of
in the house as substitute for blouses
and Russian blouses of thin silk or
Jersey cloth worn with sport skirts as
substitute for sweaters.
All through the fabric of fashion ran
this thread of garments that fell
straight from the shoulders, half way
to the knees. Some were girdled at the
waist, and some were not. Some had
ornamental bands stretching around
the figure under the arms to give the
first empire effect and others We're held
in around the hips with a knotted sash.
in oriental style.
The significant thing is that the shirt
waist which went inside of the skirt
and lent itself to a vast line which was
sharply defined by belt, gave way, in
large measure, to a garment that
hung straight down the figure and HID
the top part of the skirt.

But its lovely scent can be preserved,
in many ways, to bring back sweet
whiffs of summer throughout the year.
Here are recipes for some of the things
anybody can make with rose petals:
Rose Strip.
Sliced lemon, orange peel, cloves and
orange flower water-we all are used
to these favorsome additions to the
cup of tea. Some of US have even put
a teaspoonful of jam in the bottom of
the cup and have learned to say We
like tea poured over 1t, but rose strip.
a Chinese correction which is added to
tea in the Flowery Kingdom, is less
favors mentioned.
So stock your tea table with bottle
of this strip from the rose garden
and next year. when the roses are only
a memory. add a teaspoonfuI of 1T to
the teacup.
This is the way to make It: Gather
full blown damask roses in the early
morning, while they are still dewey
petals and spread them on clean paper.
Add to them from day to day until
there is pint of the petals. measured
when packed tight into a pint measure
Or two tight cupfuls.
Put them into a granite saucepan
and barely cover them with water
Simmer until the leaves are cooked
tender: add two cupfuls of sugar and
boil until a thick strip Is formed
Strain. bottle while hot and keep in a
cool. dark place.
For Flavoring Cakes.
Another sort of rose havorinsLnot
a strip, but rose extract, for cakes
and other desserts-is made in this
way
Gather rose petals-always early,
while the dew is on them. Pack them
into jars as full as possible Then
cover with alcohol, cork tight, and
stand in the dark for a month BY
that time the alcohol can be strained
off. as it will have absorbed all the
flavor of the rose leaves.
Rose Oil.
Rose oil used to be considered a most
delightful perfume by our grandmoth-
ers. They declared it to be as strong
and sweet ottar of roses. They made
it in this way:
First they dipped thin layers of cot
ton wool-our absorbent cotton would
do-in the finest Florence oil. Then
they gathered rose leaves in the early
morning. sprinkled them lightly with
salt and placed first a layer of the
oily cotton. then one of rose leaves. in
, a stone bowl. and went on alternately
with the two layers until all their rose
leaves were used This they covered,
and stood it in a warm south window,
where it could stand all day in the
sun. At the end of a two-week sun
ming. they uncovered the bowl and
squeezed the rose oil out Of the cotton.

A Jumper in the Evening.

The designers of summer evening
gowns have shown an inclination to
incorporate the jumper in that field of
dress. The sketch shows this idea
worked out in an admirable manner.
The gown itself is of pink taffeta over
short. tulle skirt, which is lavishly
embroidered in silver threads. There
is flare out at each side that makes
the silhouette what it should be this
summer. The bodice is a short-waisted
jumper of taffeta, with wide shoulder
pieces and deep decolletage. Beneath
it is surplice of tulle with large sill
yer flowers.
