TRIFLES OF THE WARDROBE

IS ONLY FOR EXPERT BORDURE FOULARDS NOT EASY |||FQR ORDINARY DRESSMAKER. Beautiful Effects Are Produced In Hands of Skillful Seamstress— Season's Models Less Attractive - . Than Other Utility Gowns. On the whole the foulard models this season are rather less attractive than some of the other general utility frocks, but one sees many that are practical and pretty, the best being as i rule combined with plain one tone silk. A large proportion of the foulards have borders, and borders, while often beautiful, are never easy for the ordinary dressmaker to handle. Perhaps that is why so many of the season s foulard models leave much to be desired. .. Successfully handled, the bordure foulards make up very smartly and the knowing makers do not hesitate to cut the border off and apply it Wherever it can be used to better purpose in that way. A very simple dark blue and white foulard model had its deep. brocade border utilized only on the bottom of the tunic, while the bodice trimming was of white embroidery. The vivid colorings which this season is displaying are undoubtedly better in one tone or changeable colorings and in veiled effects than in, the figured silks, and that is another reason why many of the foulards look hot and garish, but in white and black and in blue and white foulard is an indispensable summer standby for many women, and there are some foulards with dark grounds and very narrow line stripes of color which make up charmingly for one piece trotting frocks. . Enormous amounts of etamine of very fine voile and of chiffon are being used for everything from street frocks to evening frocks, usually in combination with plain silk of some sort, and a very lovely sheer stuff, known as satin voile meteore, is much liked for. dressy uses. It is a very sheer silk voile with satin finish, often changeable In coloring, and anything lovelier in texture and coloring It would be hard to imagine. Delicate pink, changing to lilac; blue, melting into lavender; soft yellow, changing to faint green; deeper harmonies of fuchsia pink and purple, king blue, and green—these are some of the color schemes, and one may have the material, too, in one tone tints of great variety. The changeable idea enters, too, into some delightful, figured, sheer stuffs. A wonderfully chic little frock

DRESSES FOR YOUNG GIRLS

Charming Costumes Are Made Up In Woolens or Cottons—Lighter Shades Favored. Simple little dresses these, that may be made up In woolens or cottons. The first would look very charming made up in grey cashmere and silk of a slightly darker shade; the cashmere part of skirt is slightly eased into a deep band of silk at lower part; the bodice is cut kimono, and is of cashmere. silk being used for the lower part, which with the plastron and

The costume on the right is in blue poplinette; the skirt is slightly eased In at the waist and at knees is trimmed with a band of soft satin.

The collar and elbow bands are of satin. Materials required: Four yards 44 inches wide, -1% yards silk 22 inches wide, 8 buttons.

of marked simplicity, aside from its material, Is of a sheer material, chiffon or mousseline, we do not remember which, for the color was the thing that Impressed one. It was shot with three colors—a soft green, a bine as soft, and a light yellowish brown — and scattered over this ground were large black dots. With every movement of the folds, with every ray of light, the color changed and shifted, bat it was never anything save harmoniously subdued. There was /a little black satin about the foot of the softly fulled skirt, the high waist line, and the cuffs. The neck was finished by a Dutch collar of beautiful muslin In yellowed antique embroidery. That was all, and a more delectable little frock for certain purposes has not been seen this season.

WHITE VOILE DE SOIE.

Tunic of silk broderie anglaste, and vest of black and white striped tatfetas. The large chip hat has a bow of raven’s-wingblue velvet

SILK Sachets.

Dainty little silk sachets are just the thing to tuck in your friend’s handbag when she goes oft that journey. Thin silk wild roses, each petal dipped for days in scented powder, with artificial stamens, and the whole fastened on a white card, with a wee bit of verse printed under it They are easy enough to make and as novel as they are charming. . . Then there are butterflies, with satin wings, beaded—even the sachets are headed nowadays—and fat, padded bodies, containing the perfume. Others, even daintier, have rice paper wings, and-the rounded bodies are of thin silk over net.

LOW-CUT WAIST ESSENTIAL

t 1 -- Costume for Theater Must Have This Distinction—Both Comfortable and Suitable. The low-cut waist is far more universally popular since the wearing of evening dress at the theater has become fashionable. Today, (although there is no necessity for a really decollete gown, the waist that is open at the throat is correct in style' and incidentally is far more comfortable and suitable than the one made of heavy material and with high boned collar. Theater dress is quite important nowadays, and Is practically the same as the. simple dinner dress. The difference between it and the ball gown is evident to any one initiated Into the mysteries of dress. It may be every whit as costly as the ball gown, but It must look less expensive and it must be cut not so low and have, as a rule, longer sleeves. '*7 This year there are many materials that would seem to have been woven especially for this use. Among them are the fascinating voile de sole, drip de sole, marquisette, and always the old favorite chiffon and liberty sarin The satin-finished crepe de Chips and lace, also, must not be forgotten.— Harper’s Bazar. * :

NEAT EFFECTS IN NEGLIGEE

Timely Suggestions for Wedding Gifts Easily Mads by Those Skilled ; In Needlework. A negligee that will make a wedding gift is a loose kimono, reaching below the waist and held to the figure by ribbons drawn through eyelets at side seams. - • Persian lawn or Paris muslin is serviceable, the edge finished with "a German Valenciennes an Inch wide A rayed disk design is drawn as a border around the neck and down each side of the fronts; it .may outline the entire negligee. These are worked alternately in warm pink and deep baby blue, the straight rays running from a center of five French knots in black or sometimes from an outline the bolor of the rays with the black knots inside. A finish Is given by adding to the outside edge a quarter-inch blue ribbon sewed on with machine stitch In black and on the under side a pink ribbon that extends beyond the bine. Satin ribbon Is effective, but washes badly. . —x-

HARD HITTING WHITE SOX OUTFIELDER

Ping Bodie, Popularly Known as “Fence Buster."

Since Comiskey put his first Chicago American league team in the field one cold, rainy, muddy day in the early spring of 1900, he has had everything in the way of entertainment for his thousands of fans that the game of baseball provides, except one. He has had the greatest pitchers, the cleverest field generals, the greatest base runners, the brainiest fleldrs, the most highly developed team play and a world’s championship. But he never could find a hard-hit-ting outfielder. He has tried scores of

HENRY HOPES TO GET TIGERS

Catcher of Washington Americans Will Endeavor to Make Good Showing Against Detroit. “The under dog often rises up in his might and smites the one who has been lording it over his fellow men,” said John Henry, the Washington backstop, “and who knows but that we will succeed against the Detroit team where the other teams of the league have failed? That is, win a majority of the games of the series with the Tigers. Of course, I regret the accidents to Street and Alnsmith, because I realize that both are bet-

ter catchers than I am, and that we stand a better chance to win with either of them behind the bat Still, 1 am glad of the chance to show Manager McAleer and my teammates that I can step into the breach and do good work.”

Favor Shorter Season.

Most players enthusiastically approve Ban Johnson’s stand that the season should start no earlier than May 1. They declare that the southern trips, as now arranged, are spoiled and rendered useless by the exposure of the players to the winds and rains of April, and that the athletes, i.i most cases, are in poorer condition by May 1 than they were when they started south ta; March.

Zacher Goes to Oakland.

Manager Harry Wolverton of the Oakland Pacific Coast league team has signed Outfielder Zacher, last season with the New York Giants and the St. Louts Cardinals.

outfielders. He has tested an average of ten per year and out of the lot not one spoiled the reputation of the team as a collection of hitless wonders until he grabbed Ping Bodie from San Francisco. There have been false alarms who hit like a house afire for a few days and then joined the ? procession of hasbeens. But Ping has played long enough to prove his worth. He is the genuine goods—a real hitting wonder —the man Comlskey and his managers have been searching for through ten years of baseball.

Among the Baseball Players

Dode Criss of the Browns Is a-bet-ter pinch hitter than he is a pitcher. Corhan, with the White Sox, is a sensational fielder, but not very strong with the bludgeon. They call “Ping” Bodie of the White Soy a fence buster and he looks all of that sure qpough. Pitchers Moore, Beebe and Rowan are all shooting 'em over for the Quakers in classy fashion. Providence is the surprise of the Eastern league,. Jimmy Collins has his “Clam Diggers” going at top speed. Few if any of the major league outfielders have anything on Milan of the Washington team. The Tennessee boy is surely a great player. Chicago. St. Louis, Cleveland and Boston have not won a game from Pitcher Russ Ford of the Highlanders since the beginning of the season of 1910. When a poor game is played in his ball yard Owner O’Neil of the New Britain Connecticut league club gives the fans rain checks good for the next scheduled game. “Bugs” Raymond is pitching great ball for the Giants. It the erratic Arthur 'sticks to the soda fountain there is nothing but his name in the baseball hall of fame. It looks as if the teams In the second division of the National league have little or no chance to break through and enjoy the company of the elite in the first division. Manager Dooin of the Phillies found time from his baseball duties to put on his vaudeville stunt “After the Game” at a benefit entertainment for a suburban church and made a big hit, batted .400 in fact with the audience. In these days of complaints about the umpires It Is refreshing to read a statement from President Joyner of the South Atlantic league that he has the beet staff he ever had and that no serious complaints are heard from any club. ------ - The Highlanders’ new grounds at Two Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, in New York, have not been started yet on account of some trouble over grading. The work will be hurried this fall so as to have the new home ready for the opening of next season.

TO MAKE BOOK ON BASEBALL

temblors, Finding Turf Betting Dwindling Proposition, Prepare to Invade National Pastime. Gamblers who have lost business because they could not arouse bettors to Interest in the running races at iamestown and'Pensacola have turned to baseball with the opening of the season, and already handbook men snd others are preparing to drag the p-eat American sport Into the betting ring. Betting schemes which have been known In Pittsburg, Boston and Buffalo for some years are being introduced in New York, and it is likely they will be followed by attempts to “make book” at the grand stands. Handbook men who operate on Broadway from Forty-sixth street down to Fourteenth began to take bets on the results of games with the very first contest of the season. Ticket speculators, whom the new'ordinance has driven to cover and trouble, have also gone Into the business. Enright, the well-known commissioner, who handles much money on races and acts for poolrooms in New 'York and Cincinnati, has prepared the most comprehensive scheme of all. He has solicitors out seeking clients for a weekly pool on the number of runs made by clubs In the American and National leagues. He has figured out that 1,500 combinations of four clubs of sixteen In the two leagues may be made, and a ticket on each of these sold for $1 will bring In $1,500 a week. Here is the list of prizes his solicitors have offered: First prize, on highest total of runs made during six days’ play by a combination of four clubs, |3OO. Second prize, for second highest total made by a combination of four clubs, SIOO. - Third prize, SSO. Booby prize, for lowest number of runs made by a combination of four clubs, SSO. Dally highest score of a combination, S4O. Dally lowest score, $lO. Thus the gamblers can pay out only SBOO a week out of the $1,500 taken in. That gives them a percentage of between 75 and 100 per cent. “May be there are bettors In New. York who will like that kind of a game,” said a gambler. “There are more farmers In this city than In any agricultural state in the union and such p plan ought to prosper. “But, you consider that in faro bank the player has less than one-half-of 1 per cent, and that In roulette he has between 5 and 6 per cent, against him, can you Imagine how a sane man will prefer to lose his money against such a bunk and still keep away from a faro layout?”

REULBACH STAYS WITH CUBS

Chicago Pitcher So Much in Demand That He Will Not Be Traded— Getting In Form. Manager Frank Chance of the champion Oqbß, has had no little trouble this season in getting his pitchers into winning form and as in seasons gone by Ed Reulbacb has been one of the slowest to round to. It was rumored not long ago that Chance had decided to let the big fellow go, but this is doubted as the erratic pitch-

Ed Reulbach.

er Is now rounding into form rapidly. There was a rumor afloat that Reulbach would be turned over to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for Pitcher McQuillen, but this was denied both by Clark Griffith and Chance. *

Johnson Asks Fewer Games.

Ban B. Johnson caused a flurry In baseball circles all over the United States the other day when he declared he was advocating a shorter major league baseball schedule. The American league chief thinks the games should begin late in April or on May 1. Many baseball officials and critics agree with Johnson in this. They are wondering what action the magnates will take. Johnson argued that the training trips should be shorter and the championship schedule shortened also. He thinks the weather is too uncertain In April to permit of good baseball.

NEW FLY-CATCHING DEVICE

1 " - I ’’ • . .• Pests of Het Weather Days Argt - Sucked Into Traps and Afterward Killed. W - ' .-i j The limit of nses to which At vacuum apparatus may be put seems: to be boundless. Here Is a plan by which It catches files. A pipe leading' from the vacuum tank is suspended r across the room horizontally with a series of funnels depending from IL

One tunnel can be hung over a table,, for instance, and another over the window sill. As the flies enter the window those that come close to the funnel are sucked up into the pipeabove. For those that escape a bait of bread and molasses is set on the table below the mouth of the second, funnel. When the insects make tori this feast they are whirled up into the opening above as soon as they' come within the radius of suction.: Valves at the top of the funnels close* down when the. vacuum motor Is shut: off and the traps can be removed andi immersed in scalding water to killj the captives.

PROPER WAY TO SWEEP ROOM

Dusting Sheets Are Essential, Alee al Costume That Is ; Suited to the Occasion. In the first place, supply yourself with sweeping sheets. ' *r.ny times the soiled sheets from the bed are used for this purpose, but that Is not .exactly a clean method. If you do/not have them already, bily the coarse, unbleached cotton doth, double Width, and bind with . Turkey red. Make the sheets big enough to cover the largest piece of furniture you wish to protect. The next thing Is to dress properly for the work. 5-ve a cotton frock which fits easily in the waist and sleeves so that your arms may move unhampered; easy shoes, a sweeping* cap and a pair of loose, old gloves. Carry from the room all small objects which you cannot lay on couches or chairs-that can be covered. Dust them before you lay them aside. Then move out of the room all small furniture which can be taken from the room easily, dusting it carefully also. Now cover with the dusting sheets all the remaining pieces of furniture, using the smaller sheets for the pictures. Remove rugs and the like. Have ready the damp tea leaves or shreds of paper, for ft is not wise to do dry sweeping. The dus' will fly, no matter what you may do. The damp tea leaves prevent It flying about and settling down again in the crevices and corners. Sweep from the corners toward ike center of the room.

Brussels Sprouts.

Brussels sprouts should be prepared for cooking by removing any outside leaves after soaking and putting in the casserole with, for a quart of sprouts, one cupful of stock and one rounding tablespoonful of butter. Cook until tender. Remove cover of the casserole, season with salt and pepper, add more butter if necessary and serve without sauce. There is but one way of finding out when vegetables are done, and that is to try them. Balt should be added when the cooking is nearly or all done and the time for cooking in the casserole should be from ten to forty minutes more than cooking on the stove. They do not need careful watching when cooking in this way and will be found to be more delicious.

Puree of Vegetables.

Clean, wash and prepare in the usual way any kinds of vegetables that to the Season, potatoes, "onions, turnips, carrots, peas; beans, etc. Put them tn a saucepan jrith a bunch of sweet herbs and enough stock to cover them. Season with salt and pepper and boil until tender. Mash them through a fine sieve. Mix together two tableapoonfuls of melted butter and one of dour. Stir in the puree gradually. When well mixed remove from the fire, stir in the yolks of two eggs which have been beaten into, a small quantity of milk and strained. Heat again, but not to a boiling point; serve on a hot dish and garnish with pieces of buttered toast
