A slight fullness is confined at the waist line by a novel cord girdle. Self ruffles trim the scal- loped hem, and a long V with cream lace collar and vest relieves the one toned effect. Since we are dealing with autumn .| we may as well know something about the autumn styles forecasted by the Dry Goods Economist, which has im- ported many new creations. The Economist says: .| The fashion notes now dominant in Paris may be briefly summarized as follows: Reversion to dignified lines and the general adoption of simple and prac- tical styles in feminine dress. Dark and somewhat somber colors, such as navy, black, deep wine, red, purple and haze and bottle greens. Materials of durable and seasonable character, such as gaberdine, serge, This is developed in navy covert cloth, velvet and corded and twilled silks. Adoption of the taflored form apd finish in garments to a very extensive degree—that is to say, the talflored suit, the one piece dress, the tailored coat, The introduction of conservativé and dignified styles in evening gowns and wraps. The velling of bare shoulders and arms with tulle. The use of long sleéves and restrain- ing collars on dresses for day wear, the sleeves in many instances reach- ing almost to the finger tips, and new designs in collars being not only high, but close fitting. The adoption of the longer lines in suit coats, owing to te of auster- ity in theynew,fash The Jatinching of the full length 3 1 The acceptance of th irt of ample fullness, but cut with due regard to artistic appearance and general dis- tribution. The marking of the waist line, often at a point below the mormal walst, The continued suppression of the hip band would almost prefer a gadabout wife to one who worries him to death with her household cares. Don’t allow yourself to become nervous and upset over your household affairs. Nothing disastrous will occur even if you don’t get all the work fin- ished that you expected to do. It is best for every woman to have some in- terests outside of the’ home, best not only for herself and her own mentality, | but also for her family and for her home. She does her work all the more tharoughly for having forgotten it en- tirely for an hour or two. ' You will find how much more smooth- ly things will go, housewives, if you learn to take them much more lightly. Go out to a club or to the library or a picture show for an hour or two in the afternoon and be sure to forget your house for that period; then your inter- est will be kept alive and you will get your tasks finished twice as easily. FOR THE SUMMER GIRL THE up to date summer girl carries a bag to match heér' frock. The bag shown in this illustration is of == FEMININE FADS =-- A LOVELY coat®seen a short while ago 'was in black, white, gray and silver brocade. A“quaint hem of black chiffon, draped in festoons, was held up in black velvet and silver roses, and a loose half drapery, half collar, was arranged to be gracefully twisted about the throat or allowed to fall free. Fine black lace over black or white charmeuse composes some alluring dresses, the bodices mainly of tulle stitched with lines of mock diamonds or jet. Entire princess overdresses of Jet cotte de maille are much in evi- dence. These, for the most part, are filmy about the decolletage and ure often ornamented with looped chains of jet to ‘harmonize with the general scheme. IN THE S8ICKROOM. No one who has ever worn a plastér of any sort can forget the tan- talizing, nerve racking moment of the plaster’s removal. Every pore of the skin which the plaster covers seems to cling ciously to the plaster’s undersurface, and thousands of usually quiescent nerves make their location ~painfully known. Here is a method of adjusting a plas- ter o that the pulling off process will not be so painful: Expand the chest or curve the back where the plaster is to go and then press it on the expand- ed surface. In this way the skin will be stretched, and so the removal of the plaster will not be painful. FOR WHITE HAIR. ; HERE is an excellent skampoo for white hair: The very best shampoo is the white of an egg beaten into a pint of soft cool water. B Rub the hair with the egs, making a soft lather, after wetting the hair with cold water, and finish the same as with any other shampoo, except in thé last rinsing water, which should be cold. A few drops of the best indigo, not ordi- nary bluing, should be Zdded to tinge the water. This acts exactly as does bluing on white goods, leaving the hair a pure white and npt in the least tinged with yellow. PINK JS FASHIONABLE. ALE pink is very fashionable this dresses. This color is exquisite in fine muslin, voile, ninon or crépe de chine. Blouses of the latter material, in the pale pink shade, are worn with white linen tailor mades and with plain coats ‘and skirts, made of fine summer serge. cream colored taffeta, embroidered in tango: yellow.

Many of these are useless to the own- er and if sold to a dealer would bring little money. It is, therefore. guite thec best thing to utilize the old wood in making some odd pieees of furniture. A crib recently seen was saved from the attic and converted iuto a ecozy corner by the woman tc whom it had it was one of the old fashioned kind which lcoked ae if it had been made from spools, and one side of it was hinged on. It had long been enameled white, but to make it look less like a crib it was painted with a thin coat of forest I green enamel, through which the white showed. The hinged side was then removed and firmly fastened to theé back, mak- b IRIDE&CENT beaded cloth forms the nucleus for an airy, dainty aance creation for the summer girl. The beaded cloth forms a long V upon the front of the skirt and extends to the back, where voluminous breadths of white tulle are fastened to it; also about the front. These tulle breadths are un- even about the bottom and are bound with pale blue satin and are wired. The bodice is of the tulle and the iridesceat beaded cloth, and the entire costume is built_over pale blue satin. ing that the height of the ends and in the shape of a settee. The legs were sawed off to make it a convenient dis- tance from the floor to use as a seat. A hair mattress was made into a box cushion to fit the seat, and this was covered with green burlap. The cush- fon was tacked in squares with green floss, the e¢nds tied tightly before cut- ting. A thick pad was also made for the side and ends of the crib and just long enough to upholster neatly. This was also covered with green burlap, tacked firmly almost to the top rail. It was then finished with upholsterer’s braid put on with gilt headed tacks. A box plaited valance made of the burlap was put around the bottom of the crib in the same manner, and this, too, was finished with a braid. When this cozy seat was set in a niche by the chimney and piled high with color- | ed cushions no one would have even dreamed of its humble origin. Another woman who had a handsome old cherry dining room table had it converted into a chést. She then carv- ed the panels with a design of ferns, palms and holly berries. It was fin- ished with a coat of ofl and brass trimmings. Old walnut dining table tops have been used for wainscoting in a dining room fireplace corner. A settee up- holstered in plush, when replaced by carved panels of walnut, was very ef- fective. The middle panel had the own- er's initials in old English lettering cut within a circle in the center. The set- tee was then upholstered in leather. Some of the most attractive Gothic screens seen are made of black walnut table tops. They are finished with an oil painted canvas in each panel. Floral designs are carved on the wood. The remnants of an old ebony table were recently used for panels in a pl- o —— LIEE & & curves despite the defining of the walst line and the emphasis on shoulder and bust curves. The use of military braids and but- tons and of embroidery in simple de- signs of military significance. Jet, steel and platinum In trimmings (and in jewelry novelties. The exten- sive use of beadwork In noveity chains, hand bags, necklaces and ormaments. The introduction of hand bags with frames In imitation tortoise and amber and the use in such articles of fallle {anfl moire eilks In preference to | leather, Novelty belts developed in combina- tions of different leathers, with mount- ;R‘:: and ornaments of colored gala~ Buttons in tail or thick shapes, plerced with eyelets, often in combinn- tiong of galalith and white pearl. Hx« tensive presentation of noveity buttons in dyed and painted pearl. The liberal showing of sallor forms in hats and the use of simple trim- |mings, often in ®elf color, on fabric |covered frames. The slight variation in new toque forms. The marked popularity of face vells in rather pronounced patterns, the | popular colors being black, navy and taupe gray. oy it FOREIGN TOILET ARTICLES. 'WDERS made abroad have a vel- vety softness and weight as well asa delicate odor that cannot be approach- d by our makers. The American made article looks well, but it is harsh and dry when compared with the carefully packed and ripened foreign prod- uct. Yet the manner in which we use these wares makes the more temporary value of the domestic article satisfac- tory, especially for theatrical purposes. R PITHY SAYINGS. Some people are like wheel- barrows—they don’t go unless they are pushed. A run of bad luck invariably exceeds the speed Iimit. The only legitimate ad. for a billboard is one extolling the merits of an eye salve. Puritanism —a scheme for climbing into heaven on the bare backs of sinners. The young regret that they are not understood, the old that they are. Whom the gods destroy they first make popular, To be important is one thing; to look jmportant is another thing, but to feel important— there you have the fellow who enjoys his own society. Saying the right thing at the ‘right time isn’t in it with keep- ing still at the right time. Poets are never good critics. Neither are critics. 4 The parents of Willlam Shakespeare never even heard of eugenics. Man estimates woman at her best. Woman estimates man at his worst.—Smart Set. ano.
