Beads as Trimming.

Beads are among the most attrac-
tive trimmings to be found on wom-
ems gowns. but they may also con-
stitute one of the greatest annoy
ances, as every woman knows who
has been bothered with having yards
and yards of them ripped off with the
breaking of a single frail thread upon
which their security depends; or who
has had to perch precariously on the
very edge of the chair in which she
was sitting. lest the beads down the
back of her waist scratch the furni-
ture.
Some of the most beautiful har-
monies imaginable are often brought
out by the clever combinations of
colored beads A real artist can pro-
duce patterns so graceful and rhyth-
mic that the beadwork alone suffices
to render the most commonplace
ready-made gown distinctive. Then,
too. the color of the beads often
serves to bring out the color Of the
dress and to set it off. A real prac-
tical advantage of beads on a sheer,
lightweight gown is that they give
weight to the dress, and so make it
hang better.
Still, bead trimming presents
problem, and the woman who is ad-
dicted to beads must prepare herself
IOF the WOfSt-anQ therefore, avert
it-by little common sense in the
selection of the bead trimmed gown
or waist, in the first place, and by
judicious watchfulness and care after
ward.
The kinds generally used on dresses
are the plain steel, Jet and dyed beads
Jet and steel are the most expen-
sive. The glass beads which have
their color right in the glass itself
are more expensive than the ones
which have the color only on the in
side. In buying colored beads make
sure you are getting an excellent
quality; otherwise you may find the
color turning" or, perhaps, wearing
off on your dress.
If you can get a gown whose beads
are sewed on by hand, they will stay
much better, but you pay more.
Medium-priced dresses have them put
on by machine, but there is a differ
ence even there. Some have a very
find lock stitching, while others are
attached with coarse thread and long
stitches which make holes in the ma
terial, and cause the dress to look
shoddy and cheap. The difference can
be detected by examining the work

they contrast so strikingly with the
bright colored clothes that are spread
so lavishly on the canvas all around
us.
In no place does the all-white cos
tune play a more important role in
the Summer scheme of things than on
the tennis court. Following the ex.
ample of Suzanne Lenglen most tennis
players nowadays, champions or
otherwise, select an aN-white frock for
the coourt, introducing the note of
color by way of eye shade or bandeau.
Among the class of women who are
referred to by fashion articles as
really smart" or discriminating" !"
white hats make a strong appeal this
Summer. In fact. never before have
so many all-white hats been worn as
now. This is true both for small sport
hats and for the wide -brimmed after
can possibly afford it ought to have a
pure white felt hat for Midsummer
and early Autumn wear, only it should
be worn charity; it's charm lasts only
with it's snowy whiteness.
The pure-white turtleneck sweater
is smart addition to the well dressed
woman's wardrobe, only this, too, de-
mands precise treatment. II you like
to ride horseback in warm weather
you may ike TO follow the example OF
one smart horsewoman who wears
white linen breeches with a pure
white turtle-neck knitted sweater Of
fine wool. Add to this black leather
riding boots and this Summer riding
costume is complete. For the girl
whose hair has been cut in a boyish
shingle has little use for a hat when
she rides cross country this Summer.
Like her brother. she is very apt to
leave her hat at home.

Wait a Little.

You will have to wait little for
the children. They do many things
that trouble you and show signs that
set you wondering if you will ever
be able to draw long breath and
think, They're safe a. last" Wait
a little.
You would not be angry and i'm
patient at a child's disobedience if
you knew that he was deaf and could
not hear what you said. Yet you
grow impatient and angry because
you told child to do something and
he did not do it. You forget that
his mind was deaf to what you said
and he could not obey as you wished.
He heard the words. he even said
them after you and he said he would
do just that, and then he didn't, and
you think he disobeyed deliberately.
Know. then. that he may hear your
words, may even repeat them after
you, may even do the thing you sent
him to do and never know what you
intended because his mind was
closed and deaf to it. Unless his
mind has reached the stage of growth
where it can experience the tasks you
set him he remains unconscious of
their purpose and meaning. He has
made the gesture while you moved
his hands, little more. He must wait
little.

HOW 1T STARTED
Origin of the Print. =
BY JEAN NEWTON.


The collecting of prints is becoming
Certainly enjoyment of them is no
longer limited TO the artistically so
phisticated, for today, in quite modest
homes, we see the product of the
etcher, the woodcutter and the en-
graveT. And of all the known arts
none has woven about it's history
more interesting tale than the origin
of making prints. or taking impres-
siOns from engraved plates.
For its beginning we must so back
TO the workshop of one Tomaso Fini-
guerra. a goldsmith of Florence, who
decorated gold and silver plates by
filling their engraved lines with black
enamel ar "'niello.' Before treating,
his wares with this substance, which
hardened and became permanent
after 1t was applied. he would try out
the effect with a temporary medium.
This was accomplished by rubbing
SCOT and oil into the crevices that
were to hold the inlay.
One day, according TO the theory +.
one of his plates was laid face down
ward upon a sheet of paper, and
when the plate was removed the first
crude print" appeared which is sup
posed TO have furnished the inspira
ton for the subsequent improved ef-
forts In this direction.
The earliest recorded engravinEs are
a series of copper plate engravings
dating about the middle of the IF
teenth century, their subject being the
Passion" The latter half of the fif
teenth century saw the birth of two of
the worlds greatest engravers. Durer,
born in 1471, and Michaelangelo, in
1474.

on the wrong side. Heavy beads on
sheer goods are likely to tear through
the material where the large holes
were made in stitching them on. Each
time after wearing the garment it is
advisable TO look ii over, and If any
bead is loose, to secure it at once.
Otherwise the beads keep dropping off
and soon your whole design is ruined.
Care must be used in pressing a
beaded garment. and it should be done
on Turkish towels, to make sure that
the beads do not cut the cloth.
And remember, if you prize your
peace of mind-do not select a. dress
with many beads on the skirt where
you will have to sit on them, or over
the shoulders, where they will cause
discomfort when resting against the
back of a chair.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARy BLAKE.

Leo.
The planetary aspects of tomorrow
are quite benign and will be produc-
tive of good emotions. They do not in
dicate either success or failure for
business or professional ventures, but
denote an absence of friction in tenn
permanent and a general contentedness
and peace of mind. Nearly every one
has some difference with friend or
relative to be regretted, or has failed
in doing something that has been
prompted by the instincts OF a better
nature. Tomorrow there will be ex-
perienced the urge, and nothing will
be lost by needing it, to heal the diff
ference and TO do that which was left
undone. Happiness and conjugal
felicity are assured those who marry
tomorrow.
A child born tomorrow will be prac
tically immune to sickness during the
period of infancy, but will, in all prob
ability, suffer from a more or less
serious illness prior to adolescence.
It's disposition will be timid and re-
served, but as it grows in years the
timidity and shyness Of childhood will
become the taciturnity and the golden
silence" of maturity. 1t Will be very
studious and self-centered, and if al
lowed to choose its own career will
make good. If forced TO adopt some
occupation contrary 10 its desires it
will develop a permanent crouch and
never succeed. When il loves its af-
fection will be loyal, sincere and con-
stant.
II tomorrow is your birthday you
are very largely a creature of emo
tions, and never influenced so strong
~ by hard. cold facts as by your
feelings and prejudices. You are,
at times, very unrea sonable. and dis
posed to display bad temper, regard
less of surroundings or conditions. en-
til such time as you are competent to
govern yourself. you are not fitted to
govern or control others. and should
not, therefore, fill any position of lead
ership or management. In your
calmer moments you show A kind
heart and a truly sympathetic nature,
and at all times, are devoted to your
family and it's interests.
You have a combatiVe character.
and are most persistent in maintain
ing your own position, regardless of
whether it is right or wrong. Your
friends, and you have many, are a
little afraid of you. as they never
know when your Feasibility will get
the upper hand.

SUMMERTIME

ThiStles.


Like outlawed kings. reduced 10 beg
gary, but crowned and garbed in the
royal purple or gold. the thistles trav-
erse the land, ragged indeed, hated
and feared here in the District, as
elsewhere. but holding up their heads
regally, and far too formidable for
anybody to wish to lay hands upon
them.
a weed. it has been said, is but
plant out of place. 1t is, however,
something more than this; for a weed
is in some ways the most wonderful
plant in the world. Usually it spreads
over immense distances, defieS our at
tempts to eradicate it, and by one of
a thousand devices triumphs in the
struggle for existence or, more pre-
cisely, in the struggle against man,
in which most wild plants and ami
mails are engaged these days.
In this struggle no plant is so eml-
nently successful as the thistle. Its
deep tap root is hard to pull up and
will sprout if the top of the plant is
mown off. Browsing animals dare not
touch it, though they eat everything
else With the field thus cleared of its
plant competitors, the thistle spreads
prodigiously. By means of silky,
winged seeds hundreds of which are
produced by a single thistle head} the
plant is able to spread its fecund gen
erations over the earth with great
rapidity. If you can find a plant more
sure of coming out ahead in a strug-
gle for a place in the sun, scientists
would like TO hear about it.
To the credit of the thistle, some
beauty at least may be laid, however
we may dislike it in our gardens. Its
leaves, with their deeply cut lobes,
elegant spines, and often silky, sill
very hairs, are really noble foliage,
while it's heads are handsome enough
in shape to have attracted the eye of
many a great artist and to have been
worked into famous patterns. The
colors, varying from purple through
crimson, rose. blue, and yellow, are
certain, whatever the shade, to have
a dash of barbaric splendor about
them: and the Scotch thistle. at least
mot one of our common weed thistles),
is one of the finest garden plants now
in bloom.
