Among the experimental styles which
have blossomed out for late summer
wear and that hope to survive in fash
ions for winter, there are afternoon and
evening frocks that show much draping
of material about the figure. And so
long as gowns or suits convey to us
that they clothe supple, youthful and
corsetless figure, they are sure Of at
tention. Not that figures are in reality
corsetless, or always youthful. But
these are the things that must be sug-
gested if the garment is to prove sue
cess. The task of conveying the fash
ionable outlines lies with the corset
maker and the dressmaker, who are
very much aided by the softness and
liElpness of the fabrics used,
One of the new draped frocks for
late summer is shown in the picture
above made of silk with satin stripe.
Whether or not it is an import, it has
q French flavor, with it's rather short.

drapery In the underskirt and over
skirt the satin stripe in the fabric
runs horizontally, but in the bodice
and sleeves the stripes are YER
teal. All the interest in this frock
centers in the management Of the fab
ric, for nothing else is used. The long
overdress is caught up In two very
deep plaits to form the suggestion of
painters at the sides and short tunic
at the back, and it is considerably
heightened at the left side, where it
ends over the split in the underskirt.
The quaint bodice is extended into
a basque and Joined to the skirt. A
square neck and elbow sleeves are, fin
ished with full, soft puffs of the silk.
A lace chemisette with falling frill
of lace across the front closes the story
of this piquant frock which is so un-
like it's contemporaries. 1t has a
quaint and sprightly style and many
of the fibre-silk materials are especial
iy well suited to it.

eiqqer and Heavier Hen Fruit.

1t is thought by naturalists that the
eggs of domestic hens of the present
day are larger and heavier by nearly a
third than those Of the hens of the
ancients. Eggs differ a good deal in
weight, the average weight being about
two ounces. A good egg is made up
Of ten parts shell. 60 parts white
and so parts yolk The white Of an
egg contains Sc per cent water. The
shell contains about per cent animal
matter and / per cent of the phos-
pilates of lime and magnesia. the rest
consisting of carbonate of lime. Half
the various specimens Of snakes lay
eggs. Instead Of shell the covering of
the egg Is tough, white. leathern sub

day Is the ostrich egg.
