Some Of the new details of fashion
that help one to choose patterns for
making or models for buying, summer
clothes are the boat or Florentine neck
line. the low waist line, the wide sleeve.
the uneven hem, and the short cape to
match the one-piece dress. Skirts are
a trifie longer. but still short. Sleeves
are many and various, short or long,
but rather generally wide. The new
neck line characterizes all sorts of
dress. for morning. afternoon. and
evening: 1t is not low. just cuts an
ellipse around the throat, exceedingly
becoming to youth that is slender but
not thin. The low waist line persists,
and In many cases is barely marked as
waist line by the narrow belt.
The short cape and dress costume
is charming, and should be very pop
ular. for it is simple, becoming. and
extremely useful.
Checks and plaids and polka dots are
more than ever used for summer
frocks Of severly simple straight lines.
Dotted swiss has como back in all
sorts Of new color guises and combina-
used to trim collar, cuffs, pockets, and

are the dotted foulards, with satin for

Too Much Powder.

It 10 no use nowadays telling young
girls not to use powder, not one Of
them would pay the least bit of at
tention. All their friends use face
powder, their mothers and grand
mothers and great grandmothers
probably used it. and the shops are
full Of fascinating little boxes, with
delicately perfumed varieties for as
little as so cents.
After all. why shouldn't they use
powder? It's the most harmless habit
they could have il they do not overdo
it, and IL they take care to use only
Face powders are SO difficult to
make that / never advise making
them. But here is fascinating
formula with which you might amuse
yourself some afternoon, when you
have nothing else to do.
Poudre de Amour.
"Scrape six juicy raw carrots and
half q pink beet root, squeeze the
juice out through a muslin bag. and
put 1t aside. Take three ounces finely
powdered corn starch, mix with the
carrot and beet juice. expose It to
the sun, and stir occasionally until
the fluid evaporates, leaving the
tinted starch dry. Sift through a
piece of silk gauze and add:
Powdered Venetian tale, 800 grains
Powdered lycopodium. 800 grains
Powdered bergamot.... AZ grains
Sift again, and keep in a sandalwood
box"
The last direction is not necessary.
The sandalwood is only supposed to
impart some of its subtle perfume to
the powder.
The best way to use any powder Is
to dust q little Of 1t over the face and
