December Sunshine.

December Sunshine.
Sunny Day, Sunny Day.
You were like glimpse of May,
And you made us look for blossoms in
the field.
But the blooming wasn't there,
For the field was brown and bare
Where the daisies once in splendor were
revealed.
Sunny Day, Sunny Day,
You have charmed the clouds away.
And you set the willows glinting with
your shine
But there isn't any song
Such as robins bring along
Midst the perfume Of the honeysuckle
vine.
Oh. the hours and the flowers,
And the cherished friends Of ours
Must keep drifting into memory far
away;
And the sunshine warm and sweet
Without them is incomplete
But you did the best you could, Sunny
Day.

THIS IS WHAT ENGLISF1WOMEN ARE NOW WEARING

suffrage report, men regarded women as queens and lknelt before their thrones.
 With this line on what Paris design CTS are putting out, we may cross the channel to London, where conservatism in clothes still reigns, as always. Of the two English suits pictured one Is of a warm brown serge, cut Russian blouse and trimmed with two widths of black silk braid and steel buttons The waist line is simply finished with out a belt, but the eye is held there by a steel Russian cross suspended from the neck by a narrow ribbon. The tilt ed straw hat is trimmed high with a mass of Iustrous straw, looped helmet wise.
 The other street costume sG of ecFu broadcloth Qua1nt1y cut oH one pieca lines, with a round yoke, a braided, low belt and front drapery falling from two handsome buttons. The high f1ared collar is apparently held up by a black velvet ribbon rosette in front.
 Military styles prevail in the hat again, the brown nsere straw turban taking the flowing cockade of the Coldstream guards. White duvetyn develops the graceful one piece gown with a gorgeous crimson sash. Bits of crimson hand embroidery pick out the arnscyes and circle the v neck. With this frock, so fetching in it's simplicity, goes white velvet tam of one jaUntJ feather.

uniform in material and color, with perhaps one or two carefully chosen contrasting shades to avoid any chance of monotony. If the materials are washable two sets of removable coV- CTS are made for convenience in 1aun- dering.
 If a porch happens to be fitted in brown wicker, furniture covers of Holland linen, with a monogram in a darker brown, are a good choice for chairs. swings and touches. Dark blue linen, marked in white or shade of darker blue, makes decidedly smart covers for the porch which has neu- tral co1ored wicker furniture and blue and white 5ute rugs.
 A successful porch done in blue and white had cushions of plain, firm white muslin, finished with two rows of dark blue riclxrack around the edges. These cushions were fastened with large pearl buttons sewed on with the blue floss. Two sets of these cool clean looking covers were provided for summer use. One woman whose summer camp is done in brown has a supply of yellow chambray, which she will make up into l cool, comfortable cushion covers.

NOW is the time for the housekeeper
 preparing to settle in her summer quarters to look over her supply of porch pillows. cul1 out the faded ones and make new coverings. This is a pleasant part of refurbishing and can be done at one's convenience.
 Several things are to be remembered concerning the colors and materials which appear on the cushions of the out of door living room, into which the American veranda has developed in the last few years. In selecting it's cush- 1ons it cannot be treated like an ordi- nary room, as the brilliant light has to be, considered. The adjoining lawn or garden, with it's flower beds and shrubs, is seen in connection with the porch, and the two must be planned together.
 Some persons before fitting out a porch completely with cushions test the samples of the cloth to see if they will stand sunlight and water. One should never use handsome embroid- cred or silk pillows on the porch. Com fort. not elaborateness, should be the aim of the housekeeper.
 The covers. if possible. should be

models are being shown whose brfns are as enormous as they are graceful huge shapes whose claim to distinction often rests almost altogether upon that element of shape, upon their droop or roll of brirn, the wonderful thing that is ''1ine.''
 The sailor with very wide, flat brim, worn slightly aslant, is perhaps the dominant shape of the moment, more generally popular than any other sin gle hat, large or small.
 The severe tailored version of the sailor is likely to have the simple trim ming and appears in every conceivable kind of co1ored straw braid, in straw and silk, straw and linen. Models on the same lines are built up of the fine straws softened by tulle or may be en- tirely of satin, taffeta, crape, chiffon or tulle.
 There are low crowned hats very wide and more or less irregular of brim that are trimmed in flowers and rib bon and have veils of embroidered tulle thrown over the whole hat-low crown,

When Is a Barrel Skirt?

YNHE barrel skirt is not well under IL stood in this country, because the name has been casually given to oth- CTS, but the actual skirt is rare Every dealer in clothes will show you some thing that he calls a barrel skirt. and often it has no more relation to a bar rel than a hen to a palm tree,
 All you have to keep in your mind when you're hunting this skirt is that it is shaped like a barrel, small at both ends and distended in the middle, with bands of material going around the figure to represent the hoops Of the barrel That's simple enough, isn't it?
 This novelty has not been featured before either in France or in this coun- try, and 1t is well to fix your mind upon it as the kind of thing that may pre- vail later on, even though at the pres ent moment we're indulgtng in a riot of Louis XIV. and Louis Philippe sEirts-
 The enormous distension of the hips is not new, at least in America, where this kind of skirt has been worn on the stage since Iast November, but the French 1ressmakers have accentuated it, and, naturally, we are following as they lead. One may say that 1t is not new, but is now universal.

THE sPIRIT OF FIOsPITALITY

NOR some reason artificial anuse-
 ments are taking the place of en- Eertaining in the home. The old time suppers and dinners gave hostess opportunity to be seen at her best and gave her the privilege to make others comfortable and happy. Today wom- en think that if they haven't all the suxuries of the more prosperous ones they should not entertain. 'Tis true, they should not go in for elaborate en- tertaining, but they should not lose sight of the fact that there is no place like one's own table, where one can satisfactorily discharge the duties of Friendship.
 Make your house place where every one loves to visit. You can do this by extending a cordial greeting and sim cere handshake and by offering meat with a spirit of kindness rather than with frpthy garnishes added in a, mo ment of contempt for the time and trouble that expectant guests cause.
 One should live day after day in a manner befitting the invited guest, so

One of Doeuillet's simplest models has been extremely well liked and is a very thin, crinkly silk crape of de- 1ightful texture striped in two tones of blue on a white ground. At first glance it appears to be highly unsophisticated, but examination reveals that in the shaping and plating Of skirt and bodice, sleeve and collar and girdle more than the ordinary dressmaker's cIeverness has been called into play. There are narrow plaited frflls of blue taffeta for trimming, shaped waist coat lgirdle of blue taffeta, and collar of sheer white rolls well away from the throat at the sides, as is the way of many of the seasons collars.
 Presumably there were women of all shapes and kinds in the days of Louis Seize, king of France, and all wore the frocks of those periods, and, if tradf- ton be true, men swere even more gall lant then than now. Those were the good old days when, according to anti

YOUR PET HAWKES..

T is considered very smart now to
 carry a colored handkerchief to match your costume. If you are pa tient and clever you may be smarter still by embroidering your handker- chief in a small initial or monogram in color One clever girl solves the mon ogram or group of three initials by copying her personal monogram from her stationery. She has to enlarge it usually, though in some cases this would not be necessary. If you can not draw a good block letter trace some particularly good looking letters from the caption of an advertisement in a, paper or magazine.
 Combine your letters in a square, a diamond, a circle. or wreath The more tailored handkerchiefs with plaid borders or striped centers require the plainer monogram. On co1ored hand kerchiefs use white for the letters, on white or plaid grounds use the pre- dominating color.
 The beautiful colors of the silk hand kerchiefs so much in favor offer splen- did opportunity for enbroidering in itia1s in equally as beautiful colors matching or harmonizfng with the ker- chief itself. Some very charming hand kerchiefS are seen with corner or two filled in with appliQued flowers.

low trimming, wide brim and a1l-and falling just little over the edge of the brirn. Maria Guy likes this idea, is in deed rather given to the short veil eff fects putting them on hats of all sizes, though on the wide brim hats the veils are likely to fall for but a few inches, while on the small hats the fril1 of tulIe often drops to a level with the lips or just covers the eyes, faring out of course in the fullest and most di- aphanous of frills.
 Leghorn promises to have more popularity than it has had in recent years. Grin, hemp, milan, all the fla miliar braids, are represented, and con- siderable is done with the woolly straw eponge and with fuzzy Angora straws. Most of the black straws used for street hats are of the shiny sort.

that there would be no need for hur- rying and scurrying when the unex- pected guest arrives. Habit in this case is necessary if one desires to have poise.
 One is apt to be most unfriendly when unexpected guests arrive, be- cause the storeroom is empty. There is only one way to remedy this atti- tude, and that is to have on hand sta pie supplies, so that at moments mo- tice the most appetizing meal can be set before ones visitor. In o1den days people who lived miles and miles away from a grocer were able to keep a well equipped storeroom that never failed in the hour of need. Surely, in this day of prepared foods one is in better position to stand ready to meet such an emergency.
 Any one who lacks the spirit of hos pitality should memorize and put into practice the following sentiment: Come in the evening, come in the morn

IRISH LACE FOR LINGERIE.

HNEIE newest lingerie from Paris in
 dicates a return to certain garni- lures that have been neglected during recent years. This is especially true of Irish crochet lace, which now reappears on some of the daintiest of the under wear sent over from France.
 This trimming is in direct contrast with many of the lingerie pieces. which are absolutely devoid of decoration, except in so far as one may term beaded seams and hemstitched edges a decoration. Nevertheless, there is req son to believe that American women will welcome the fine nainsook and linen undergarments with their inset motifs. and edgings of lace and hand embroidery.
 Many of the most desirable things are offered in sets, three or four pieces, and sore of these range in price-for the set-as high as $500. To be sure, this represents exquisite handWorx, such as may with care be handed down as heirlooms even unto the third and fourth generations.
 While handkerchief linen batiste and organdfe are favored materials, silk linon also is approved by fastidi- ous women. Sometimes it is offered an pale pink, and again it is shown in ~aAn@ Mh1ts or tn ivory.

Black leaves and pink berries make a pretty trimming. Gay fruits of all kinds are used. As to ribbon trim mings, tall loops frequently give height to small turbans or fall in streams from larger hats, or rows upon rows of picot edged ribbon or ribbon with a metal thread edge are used to form haring toQues.
 A large single wing is often used as a trimming, a number of small wings may be placed at intervals around a high turban with a shallow brim. Usu- ally small motifs, rosettes or clusters of small ostrich tips form the feather trimming on the new hats.

YOUR EYES.

IF you value your eyes you should be
 most careful to observe the follow ing rules:
 Always work with the light behind you, coming over the left shoulder if possible. Weak eyes suffer a great deal if fuIl strong light faces them.
 Don't rub your eyes. Many people have the habit of doing this on first waking in the morning. Instead, the eyes should be bathed with cold or tepid water. If, owing to a cold or weakness. they are inclined to be granulated in the morning rub a little vaseline across the lids at night, being careful not to get it in the eyes. In the morning bathe them with warm milk and water.
 Reading or writing in the train is very bad for the eyes It is also a great mistake to strain the eyes by reading much when recovering from illness.

the odd little designs that are always seen on such an umbrella.
 Another touch of the orient appears in the use of the jade bracelet, which forms a novel and fetching trimming, especially on a crape hat. In one in stance a bracelet of green and white jade was suspended by loops at the left side, and hanging from this were five tanta1izing sl<eins of rope silk in brightest colors.
 The little hats are as tall as ever, and some of the big hats are bigger than ever. Really one wonders where the broadening of brins will stop. Not that this extravagant width is univer- sal, for it isn't.

silver or gold net that, before they are put on the arms, look like the stock ings of some greedy child hanging on a Christmas mantel. When they are put on the arms the entire length is wrinkled up between wrist and arm hole.
 Some red and white crapes and fou- lards, chiefly in cherry shades, are suc- cessfully exploited, too, though one Callot group contains peculiarly un- attractive red and white foulard. The beige and very light tans with a limit of green in them are figured effectively in dark blue or black and used for chic foulard or crape frocks, and then there are the striped designs in these same materials, which are always attractive, if not 41uite so popular as they were a little while ago.
