Beilng separate, the dress launders well; be- sides she aléo ran across some flow- ered voile with a border, also a rem- nant. Four yards of this was enough to make another separate belted-tunle for wear over the same crepe skirt. A very attractive semi-fitted dress of plain broadcloth is pictured here. It has nothing in the way of novelty to boast, and needs nothing. All its points are excellent and it is a dress of which no one will grow tired. Be- sides there are several small detalls in its makeup that bespeak the artist. The bodice is short-waisted with The Spell of Christmas. | Once more, we are under the spell of Christmas.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Delicate Fabrics. Sheer fabrics, such as chiffons, or- gandies, dimities and all other mate- rials that are too delicate to take starch, will gain their original crisp- ness if three tablespoonfuls of sugar are added to the rinsing water. This is also the proper treatment for all vells, A good way to wash white silk is to take lukewarm water, make it monia. Use a good white soap, rinse in water prepared the same way, roll up and iron on the wrong side with an iron not too hot. Cleansing white silk in gasoline is also a satisfactory method. This should be done out-, doors. !| Semifitted Prinoess Dress of Broadcloth skirt attached. It is draped at the front and back with a plain plece of the material which is cut out in a round neck, finished with a small piping, and fastens on the shoulder with button and buttonhole. There is a small guimpe of satin finished with a frill of plaited lace which is doubled at the front. Short sleeves of the broadcloth are supplemented with big long under sleeves of satin. The skirt fastens down the left side and is decorated with barrel-shaped buttons covered with satin. There is a smart straight hanging sash of broad ribbon fastened near the front. ‘Worn with this is a emart sallor hat with a sash of wide ribbon and a sin- gle large rose posed at the front.
