ARE POPULAR
 CRAZE

Just now we buy our waistcoat or vestee and add suit to it. Never was there such a craze for anythingl as there has been this season fori these little accessories. They appear not only on the tailored suit madei for sternest and most practical oc-i. casions, but are introduced on dresses of thin, fine materials and even arel edded on dancing frocks in quaint ar-i engagements called by all sorts of names such as 'tablier chemisette," tucker, guimpe and a host of others cannot remember.
 After all, they remain waistcoats, market.
 First in favor are those of organdie- The most serviceable vestees are those which are made on a founda-' ton and gathered into an elastic band at the bottom so that they can be held in place and fit around the waist and not slip up over the belt Some of the most attractive are made larof champagne coIored organdfe- They have the new round Buster Brown collar so becoming to youthful wearers and are ornamented with lace and tucks and small buttons made of organdie. Slipon models have the col- lar turned down over the low cut neck and finished with a lace edge. In nearly all instances the vestees are made to button in the back. If one wishes to fashion them oneself remember that they fit best when a narrow classic band is threaded through a hem along the bottom of the front and back.
 Many are really skeleton affairs with just these two parts and no un- derarm piece at all. The elastic band runs around the waist, however, and forms the connection between back and front and keeps the vestee from slipping away.

MADAME .RECAMIER.

At this time in the year 1S49 the great world of Europe was mourning the death of Madame Recamier, who had. just been laid to rest after career which has rarely been equalled in the worlds history. Her beauty, her echarm and her knowledge were such that she exerted great influence over all with whom she came in. con- tact. Her influence over Napoleon is particularly interesting. The first time he saw her was on the occasion of his delivering a rejoinder to an ad- dress presented to him on his return -from Italy. Madame Recamier to see him better, arose from her seat. This attracted Napoleon's attention. He met her later at his brothers S house and went out of his way to be near her and speak with her. He was prevented, however, by circumstances. He was then First Consul. When he became Emperor she refused to at tend his court. His jealousy was aroused, and among other indignities, she received an order of exile.

LIN GERIE FOR SUMMER IS
 PRETTY.

Every young girl loves pretty un- derwear and especially at this seas on, when she is planning for summer days. There is a considerable saving if the undergarments are made at home, and they may be practical as well as pretty. It is cheaper to buy the material by the piece and cut several garments at once.
 A practical shadow proof'' petit coat may be cut from white sateen. A finely plaited flounce attached by row of hemstitching lengthens the skirt of a. gathering ruffle may be used instead. For those who must have bit of lace and a ribbon row of lace beading can head the flounce. To wear under sheer blouses there are the daintiest camisoles made from wide ribbon and lace. These are very simple to make and any girl can fashion them herself at home. For a slim girl only one yard of ribbon will be needed. Gather the bottom of the ribbon into lace beading threaded with pale pink or blue ribbon. A band of lace and beading also finishes the top, which
 
 straps of either ribbon or lace are used over the shoulders, while the front closes with a fly and tiny buttons This dainty camisole affords an excellent opportunity to use odd bits of silk, ribbon or lace medal lions. They may be fitted together artistically to make a conservation camisQle.
 Boomers promise to be very pop ular this season for young girls and are appreciated by those who are tired of the envelope chemise. Wash able satin, crepe de chine or plain pink batiste are all suitable A very economical yet pretty pair of bloom CTS can be made of pink batiste with little hemstitched frills at the knees for trimming. Elastic is used al the waist line and keens in these dainty slip-on bloomers. For some thing more elaborate, lace frills on thin bloomers are lovely and ribbon bows can be used at the side.
 To wear under sheer summer frocks there is petticoat of heavy white pique. Every girl knows how embarrassing it is to stand in the sunlight wearing a thin petticoat that is almost transparent. The pique is just heavy enough to pre-. vent Shadows" and yet it hangs well.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To renovate black lace, wash it in strong vinegar and water, rinse it in coffee, and iron while damp with a piece of flannel laid over it.
 The creaking of a door may be stopped by rubbing the hinges with a piece of soap. This does not spoil the look of the paint as when oil is used.
 To make flannelette non-inf1amma- ble after washing and rinsing the garments dip them into water in which an ounce of sal ammoniac or alum has been dissolved.
 To remove iron rust from white material wet the article with lemon juice, rub on salt, and put out in the sun. If the first application fails try it again.
 When white corsets become soiled clean them by brushing over with a mixture of soapy water and ammo nia- Apply this with stiff nail- brush.
 A cheap and effective floor stain can be made as follows: Mix Bruns- wick black with turpentine till the desired tone is obtained. This dries with a good gloss and polishes beau tifully, and is cheaper and goes farther than varnish.
