time As we'll as giving to the Red
 There are a thousand new and in teresting things to do since the war began and so many of ones interest ing friends have gone to fight it is necessary to keep busy. Decorating house is a pleasant pastime and relief from war work Beautiful new straw fabrics in plain colors and stripes which are suitable for furnit- ure coverings as well as for portieres between rooms. Behind the divans, these straw fabrics which recall the sails of boats, would be very effective in straws of blue and green. violet and green CT in two tones of yellow. Leath- CT armchairs, too, might be decorative reupholsteged in this material in un- usual shades. The new flowers to decorate rooms are so unique that they must be mentioned. These are not ordinary artificial flowers of silk or cotton but really fantastic flowers full of poetry, like one sees on Chinese pottery jars. Pale anemOnes, edged with blue and with blue stamens, pep per blossoms with their flexible branches heavy, with their weight of scarlet tassels. There is an infinite variety of flowers, all of them appro- priate for lacquered rooms where real flowers seem to highly cclored. Fresh filowers must be kept for crystal vas es where modern influences havn't gained sway completely.
 WAISTcoATS
 A woman may be distinguished from
 z her waistcoat. There are no color restrictions. It may be of blue or of white. green or pink, but at least it must make a bright note in a dark costume like a lily in a patch of pop pies. This little light placard is the whole spirit of a dress and endless in- genuity goes into its making. It may be the waistcOat of a Breton peasant square and short, embroidered in every brilliant color that one sees in the Breton fields. or it may be the waist coat of a thoroughly modern maid straight from Paris, buttoned from top to bottom with pearl buttons But white waistcoats that come down to the knees may be had in white and natural cOlored kid, embroidered with a narrow festoon on the edge. And then another of the shade of pink that looks tempting upon blondes with a creamy jabot of lace at the throat which is very open, but instead of a pinch of snuff that the grand danes of old used to take, a pinch of powder is now used.
 There are Chinese and Persian fab rics combining the most marvellous colors with the richest materials.
 There may be varieties of them since no particular color or form is noticed. The back of these waistccats is al- ways made of a lining material such as is used for a mans, as it is only the fronts that show in the opening of these coats. They are made with fitness either in the way that they cross ii the front or in the ruffles of null which form a basque on the back These are quite different from any thing we have ever had. One has trimness that is almost masculine in its crisp organdie front, but it has that is altogether feminine in it's frilly fluted ruffles; it may be of any color that suits ones peculiar style of beauty. If one has a costume that is very sober a waistcoat that is very gay should be worn with it-as l gay as enc with white satin girdle sur rounded by embroidery of brilliant l Japanese design. A waistcoat is often | that final touch that makes a costume s4 .l..|
