TULLE RIBBON GIVES EFFECT
This Winters Evening Bodice, Which Is Made Like a Brassiere, Should
 Be Softened.

Under evening gowns there is worn band of flesh pink satin ribbon which extends over the full part of the figure and fastens snugly at the back. One might add, parenthetically that the bodice of the winter has looked astoundingly like this brassiere Half dozen of them were worn at a recent fashionable dance, made of sil yer tissue or iridescent sequins, with out shoulder pieces or sleeves. These bodices were pulled so tightly around the figure that they looked like bras. sieres; across each shoulder. well to- ward the neck. was a string of pearls or crystals.
 These corsages are made to be worn with white or colorcd tulle, but there is an unpleasant defiance of this convention among certain of the younger women. It is not commend able trick, either on the score of mod. esty or artistic merit. That line where the arms join the shoulders is not es. pecially attractive on anyone, and the utterly nude shoulder is not a delect- able sight
 When such bodice forms a setting for a cloud of misty tulle the effect is entrancing The women who really know how to dress use the idea in an effective manner. Sea green, turquoise blue, mauve and rose pink are some of the colors used in this drapery. One of the new methods of arrang.
 ing tulle is to throw it lightly around the neck, cross at the back and bring it lightly forward over the shoulders to the waistline, after the portrait oi ! Queen Louise of Prussia.

IMPORTANT POINT OF DRESS
Buttons Are Given Extreme Consider. ation by the Woman Who Desires
 to Be Properly Costumed.

Ivory buttons are of every shade seen in dress fabrics, including navy and royal blues, dark reddish plums nut and African browns, Russian green and many more in plain and mottled effects in various shapes to match the mixtures in cloakings and dress materials, Combination buttons are of black and white, blue, red and other colors. Small fancy buttons of white pearl are half-moon, square. ob. long and many round ideas with differ ent cut centers
 Very ornamental buttons are used on wide belts worn on coats. Many cloth coats are trimmed with selfcoy. cred buttons with a fancy center and plain rim, such as plaid silk center and plain woolen rim. A new idea is pearl center and fabric edge
 Many a dress, coat or waist may be changed in appearance by putting on new buttons and new collar. Small lace buttons are used for the lace. striped cotton fabrics

FOR TRAVELLERS WEAR
COAT THAT IS AT ONCE DISTlNC.
 TIVE AND MFoRTABLE.
Design That 1t Would Be Hard to im- prove On Is This Suggestion Trimming May Be as Elabo-
 rate as Desired.

For traveling or motoring one needs good, serviceable coat, possessed of distinctive style and good cut Among all the splendid fabrics offered for such garments it should not be difficult to select just the particular one suit ed to your needs There are fine white and colored corded and sponge surfaced materials. corduroys. polo cloths and novelty checks and stripes, each suited to certain designs.
 The design offered herewith is ap- proprate for linen motoring duster or for cloth travelling coat Its hem clears the ground by at least a foot and measures some three yards in width. While it can be made in one length from neck to hem, it will doubt less set more neatly about the waist If the odd belt is used to join the blouse and skirt portions.
 The belt is in three sections-the straight piece that covers the back from underarm seam to underarm seam, and each half of the front, fastened together with buttons at the center front. Cut in one with the lat ter pieces is shaped band that runs down over either hip. trimmed with buttons where the pocket opening oc- CUTS.
 Machine stitching figures impor- tantly as a trimming in this design and it can be done in the color of the coat material, or something contrast ing. Three rows of it border the col lar, the sleeve ends and either edge of the back of the belt, then, where the buttons are grouped at the front clos

 The windmill in Fig. may be made of cardboard or tin. A circular piece 10 or 12 inches in diameter is re- quired. After marking out the outer edge with a compass, describe an in ner circle about l inch inside of it; then draw two lines through the cen ter at right angles to each other, and another pair at an angle of 45 degrees to these. The four lines are indicated by heavy lines in Fig 5. One-half inch to one side of these lines draw a parallel line, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 5. The next thing to do

GOOD RUGS CHEAPEST IN END
No Economy in Stinting Expenditure When Buying These Necessaries
 of the Household.

Next to a piano, good rug makes serious inroads into the house-furnish .ng expenditure account. For this very reason rug should be as good as the household can possibly afford, for it never pays to economize overclosely on substantial belongings which can make or mar an interior, and which from the very nature of them will have to last that home for many a year Oriental carpets and rugs will endure for a lifetime; nay, even for genera tions, and the charm and distinction they lend even simply furnish d room makes them well worth the sub stantial initial cost. Far better have two beautiful rugs, laid on polished floor. or over a soft-toned filling, than dozen cheaper rugs, whose tex ture is not pleasing-eyen if their col ors are not bad. Every large shop has special rug sales at intervals. and it is well to take advantage of these sales; sometimes rare bargains can be picked up, For example, a genuine Persian Mossoul, 5x7 feet, and in won derful shades of cream. bronze and rose, was obtained at one of these sales last winter for very low price kirmanshah carpets in soft blues, rose and old ivory tones, in room size, sometimes come down to very reason able prices

Sandwiches are made with nastur- tiums as a filling. Nasturtiums are probably the most-used edible flower. It's young leaves, seed pods and stems with or without the flowers form an appetizing salad and add flavor to sauces, gravies, meat dishes and sal ads made of potatoes and herbs.
 In England finely chopped spearmint is used in sandwiches spread with thin cheese. Another food flower is cauliflower. This is truly a flower that is eaten, for the snowy flowers are the unexpanded flowers of a vari- ety of cabbage.
 The Mexicans and French eat the tuber of the dahlia. It is somewhat acrid and was introduced into Europe for the commercial purpose of sup planting or supplementing the potato.
 The dandelion makes a wine, while the young, tender leaves make the finest kind of greens and are also de- lightful in salad
 Elderberry blossoms make white wine, the berry makes a blue wine, while the elderblow tea was favorite remedy of our grandmothers.

PING EDDIE, "COME-BACK''

Ping Bodie, the former White Sox outfielder, who has been busting fences in the Pacific Coast League this year, will begin his thirtieth year to- morrow. Ping is to be given another chance in the big show with the Ath- letics next year, and those who have Rseen his work with the San Francisco Seals this season are firmly of the opinion that the Italian slugger will make quite stay this time up.
 Bodie is of mingled Italian and English blood and was born in San Francisco. He took to baseball nat urally, and, although his regular em- ployment was driving a delivery wagon when a kid. he picked up some easy money on the side playing ball. In those days Ping was a twirler. When he. was only 16 he landed a pitching job in the California State League. By 1907 he had developed slugging proclivities to such an extent that the Vallejo club, which employ ed him that year had him play third base and shortstop. In the latter part of 1906 he was signed by the San Francisco Coast League club. In 1910 he became an infielder, and that sea- son he smashed out 30 home runs In 1911 he was garbed in a White Sox uniform, and remained in Chicago until the close of the 1914 season, when he was sold to the Seals.
