with skirts about five inches on the
ground and with only moderately low
decolletage
There Is still third class of evening
dress that Is especially popular at this
time OF the year. It Is the wearahle
sort of late Summer afternoon dress,
with skirt usually somewhere between
5 and II inches from the ground,
sleeveless or with very short sleeves and
with neckline low enough for evening,
but not too low for late afternoon. It
is the sort of thing we find convenient
to put on when, we finish the days
labors or diversions at 4 or and want
to put on something light feminine and
attractive that wiz do for the rest of
the evening.
DERHAPS we should also mention the
so-called Sunday evening dress,
which IS like the informal evening dress
in general silhouette and neckline, but
is made with the more formal, longer
skirt. Often there are transparent. full
length sleeves or sleeves that show doW-
ing drapery starting from q line a little
above the elbow. It Is type OF dress
that older women often choose to wear,
even for most formal evening occasions.
Confusing though this redivision OF
evening dress types may seem, it has
achieved something well worth while.
It has popularized evening dress and
made the custom of dressing for dinner
women than formerly. The only excuse
for not wearing some sort Of evening
dress for dinner nowadays Is that one
lacks the time or inclination. Evening
dresses OF the simpler sort may be
bought of made for as little as day
dresses or sports dresses.
" y
THERE is no longer any question of
the appropriateness Of cotton mate
rails for evening dress. This Summer
organdie holds its own against all the
finer silks and laces. It Is used even for
the very formal sort of evening dress
that one wears only occasionally.
Point d'esprit Is another cotton mate
rial that Is appropriate for formal eve
Of chiffon-like aspect that lend them
selves admirably to the ways Of the less
formal sort Of evening dress.
The entire ensemble for evening may
be of cotton, since cotton velveteen in
stead of silk velvet is often used for
the short evening wrap that is the
smartest covering for the full-skirted
evening dress.
From the practical point of view,
there Is no material better chosen than
chiffon--usually printed chiffon--for
the useful, informal, evening dress.
More expensive to start with than or
candle or cotton wolfe, It goes through
the ordeal of frequent packing more
CALAMITY than those fabrics.
Lace, too, has advantages when Il
comes to packing, and lace evening
dresses have been and still are much
worn this Summer. The newest idea
Is TO have the lace evening dress made
up over shiny satin, so that the luster
of the satin shows through and en-
hances the transparent lace. Black lace
may be used over soft blue or fame
eolored satin and white or cream-coI-
ored lace over any Of the soft pastel
tones. Sometimes lace is used over COLI

is not desired, and there are charming
evening dresses Of pastel-dyed lace
made Up over matching satin founda-
lions.

one day the happy thought came TO
her that they were just the thing TO
cover o screen.
\ ,k y
COME Of the most attractive screens
are covered to depict some inter-
esting period of history. There Is an
early New York screen, for instance. On
it are portraits OF old New workers.
Peter Stuyvesant for one, There Is o
clipping there from an old newspaper
one of the earliest printed in, New York
There is an old political folder used
in an early political campaign in New
York All sorts of miscellaneous prints
and clippings having to do with the old
city are preserved In this way. They
are taken from old, battered books ana
magazines, and some Of them are prints
that have been taken from their frames:
They are glued onto the screen ana
then all covered over with colorless
varnish to keep them from rubbing up
or diScoloring.
You may make an interesting screen
by mounting photographs you yourself
have taken as q report Of interesting
Summers travel. Or you may cover Q
nursery screen with snapshots OF your
children.

limited Color Range
Offers Difficulties

We all know the woman who prides
herself that she does not make expert
ments in colorS. She has decided that
certain tones are best for her, and she
sticks to them in rain and shine,
through thick and thin materials, by
morns, by moons, by nights.
BY doing this she is sure that her
accessories will always harmonic, at
least so far as color is concerned, and
that when she buys new dress she
will have a hat and wrap to go with
1t. She may have decided on the
brown, beige and orange trio, or the
black, white and green alliance, or she
may go in for navy blue with a dash
of white. The scheme has its merits,
but like any system OF extreme con-
servatism Indicates a certain timldity
and lack of self confidence:
This year it must be especially din
cult for the one-color-scheme woman 10
resist the temptation to break over ana
make experiments with some OF the
charming and varied tones that are
offered by fabric makers.
white, always smart at this season,
Is coming in for unusual favor, espe-
piaily at the shore resorts. All-white
Ep0rtS dresses are worn with white be-
Rets and all-white cloth coats. There
are smart resorts dresses Of the yacht
IND sort of white trimmed with splashes
Of MILDLY blue. White with red Is also
very good this season.
T'or sports wear and for morning
wear at resorts one sees holder color
cofltrasts-stripes, very large dots, belts
scarfs, landings of strongly contrasting
materials.
For street wear in town fashionable
women choose small prints on darl
background, conservative, small geo.
metric or small flower designs, precisely
placed on the background. The LARGE
hover designs are, strictly speaking, ap.
propriate only for afternoon and eve
Aping.

IF you have hobby and don't know
what to do about it, put it on a
I screen. To the stamp collector
Il who takes his collecting very Seri-
ously the idea of covering three
panel screen with precious postage
stamps may seem like rank heresy. But
70 the amateur who has a collection OF
stamps that are not particularly valu-
able, a screen decorated with them
solves the problem Of turning them to
account.
And book jackets. 1t is the fashion
nowadays to save them. Certainly we
don't want to have our books put into
our book cases with the jackets on.
But we save them because they are so
attractive-we save them and don't
know what to do with them. Well, you
have no idea how attractive they look,
when pasted on a three-panel screen
used in the study or at one end Of the
living room in the Summer cottage.
Postal cards, too, are most effective
when pasted on screen, and you can
review a Summers trip abroad without
turning the leaves of q postal card al
bum, If you have them arranged in that
way. One panel may be devoted to Eng
land, with France, Italy and the other
countries visited on the other panels
on either side Of the screen.

Wise House Guest

The house guest who gives her hostess

In the maidless household the guest
usually feels that she must help with
the houSework. Here she must steer
carefully. She must distinguish between
polite objections from her hostess when
she offers to help wash dishes and OBJ
jections that mean that the hostess
really does not want her to come in the
kitchen.

gestions about the cooking or household

The rug Is among the shortest-lived
OF all the home furnishings. 1t leads a
hard, fast life, full of use and harsh
treatment, and Is ANONYMOUSLY stamped
out OF existence in about nine wears.
Other pieces of furniture rate a little
higher In the matter of longevity. Some
one has figured it all out. A chair, of
good ancestry and temperate habits,
may be expected to stand IL years of
domestic life. If brutally treated, such
as being tilted on one leg or called upon
to sustain undue weight, the chair may
give up this life at an earlier age. A
dining room table may be expected to
perform its functions for is years
Rugs, even in the most considerate
household, however, have a hard time.
Under the best treatment they get a
great deal Of stepping on. Some one is
always walking all over them. How to
use them and at the same time protect
them as much as possible, so as to as
sure them some measure Of mature life

homekeeper.
One Of the ways to cut down this

When you have this rug on which you

you can do TO defeat the averages and

Friction Is the disease which attacks

wears down any rug.
This friction Is Of two kinds. On the

For Iced Tea.

Lemon juice and sugar can be added
to iced tea, rather weak, to make a
most refreshing drink. Lemon juice can
be squeezed and ket on hand in the
refrigerator for two or three days. Slices
OF lemon, too, can be kept ready to put
In q glass Of tea or lemonade. Scrub
q lemon and then shave In thin slices
without separating them. Wrap the
lemon In a piece of waxed paper and
put 1t in the refrigerator. In this way
the slices will retain their juiciness and
freshness for several days.
