GOWNS IN ALL COLORS

FABRICS FROM THE BRIGHTEST TO THE PALEST HUES. - Seemingly No Costume Can Be Too Gaudy to Have the Sanction of Fashion— Satin Frocks Strictly In the Vogue. By MARY DEAN. Undoubtedly, the taffeta two-piece and three-piece suits wIH be a feature of the summer styles. Already the shops seem to be crowded with such suits. ‘ An example was an exceedingly good-looking brown costume, an imported model, In taffeta, combined with a fine eponge weave of silk and wool mixture. The bolero and long full tunic were of brown and white striped taffetas, while the under skirt was of plain brown eponge. There are many costumes illustrating this same principle of taffeta in combination with serge, with voile, with crepes, With voiles with eponges and with foulards. There are also a great many frocks of satin noted this season, and of charmeuee, crepe and crepon fabrics, too. Lovely evening coats and dressy afternoon frocks are made of the new ■» ■ -

material called cascadeuse, and among the examples is an exceedingly attractive frock made of this material in silver gray- A relieving color note is shown in the soft crush girdle of indescribable blue, ornamented at the front by two roses of the same shade. •There is a full tunic of the material, underneath which falls down the front of the frock a long sash end of the girdle ornamented at the end by a silver ornament and tassel. This season’s fabrics show all the colors of the palette from the brightest to the palest hues. There are intense colors, such as bright sea blue, ruby red, yolk yellow and vivid shades of green. The more delicate and uncertain shades are bluish lilac, dove gray, silver gray, mouse gray, faded blue, the gray of an early dawn and straw and lemon yellow and all the rose shades.

WITH BROCADED SILK TOP

Appendage Necessary if Shoes Are to Be of the Latest Effect of Fashion. The smart buttoned boot for formal wear has had a contrasting top for some time. Early in the winter buttoned boots of distinction had a suede top; later the fashionable top was of light cloth; now it is of brocaded silk fabric. But the top, whatever its material, is always buttoned, for this style of boot, only, is permitted by Madame Mode with costumes of a formal or semi-formal nature. The silk topped boot is a very dainty and luxurious affair withal, having a very light welted sole and a tall curved heel, the silk material of the top coming quite down to the heel while the toe is boxed with patent leather in dressy style. These boots have tops of brocaded ■ilk in light gray, smoke and slate gray and in various shades of brown. They may be ordered with tops of prune, raisin or other fashionable ■hades to match the costume.

Beauty of the Hands.

The woman who desires to keep her hands in good condition and free from chap must first pay attention to the cleaning, and it takes no more time to, cleanse the hands properly than it does to half wash them. Soap and water will remove the dirt from the cuter skin, but it requires an applicar tkm of cold cream to take the dirt from the pores, and the cold cream also prevents chapplpg. Wipe off the cream after gently rubbing, wash the hands with warm water and soap,

USE FOR WORN TABLE LINEN

Cloth That Has Succumbed to Hard Service Need Not Be Cast Aside as Worthless. So many are the uses to which table linen may be put that the wearing out of a handsome tablecloth is not the calamity that it at first appears. The fact that a cloth invariably wears in a few places where the most hard use has come, leaves the sides and ends sufficiently strong to make preservation well worth while.

A somewhat unusual way of utilizing the border of a handsome damask cloth is to make it into a “runner” down the entire length of the table. If the damask is sufficiently handsome to warrant the handwork, shallow scalloping is by far the best appearing finish for the edge, but a narrow Cluny edge, sewed on by hand and fulled only at the corners, is an effective finish and much more quickly accomplished. In this case a row 1 of Cluny insertion should be added at each end, about the lace edge. Where preferred, the edge finish may be simply a hem caught with exceedingly fine stitches.

Where the tablecloth is little worn except directly in the center strip which has received the greatest test of endurance, it is a good idea to cut the cloth In half lengthwise, taking the outside edges for the middle of a new cloth.

Where the material is not particularly handsome, the selvage edges should be neatly joined With the oldfashioned over-and-over stitch and then rubbed open until the seam has more the appearance of a crease in the damask than an actual joining of two selvages. This brings the unworn part of the cloth where it will receive the hardest usage and the worn sides, which were formerly in the thick of the wear and tear on top of the table, can be cut away sufficiently to remove all unsightly places and the raw edges neatly hemmed.

MEN BEST NECKWEAR JUDGES

Woman Makes No Mistake When She Submits Collar Effect to Criticism of Husband. The collar makes a difference in every garment. The woman who considers it a negligible part of her cos* tume makes a serious mistake. On its fitness, on its perfection of shirring, cut and fastening, rests the beauty or the ugliness of the woman’s head.

Many a woman has a reputation for being well dressed or good looking through the efforts she has made at draping her neck. It is an odd fact that men, who are more admirable judges of linen than women, because, as Paul Poiret says, their minds are geometrical and architectural, decides on a woman’s appearance by her neck arrangement. If a woman is in doubt about the neck line of her bodice let her appeal to a man. He may know nothing of style, but he„will never make a mistake about line. A well-, dressed woman with whom the public is quite familiar because of her social position and good works confessed that she bought all her clothes unlabeled until she arrived at her collars. These and her coiffure were submitted to her husband; he never failed to be able to hit exactly on the fjaults or Virtties of each. When she told this to a few intimate friends they decided to have her husband pass judgment on their costumes. He came to the talk with good-natured alertness, and passing down the lihe, he made his expert criticism. Each woman confessed that upon remedying that one fault she appeared to better advantage. Suppose you try this out with a man and see how it works?

then rinse them in cold water. X well beaten egg or a wash of equal parts, of oat and corn meal is a fine cleanser. If your hands need whiten, ing, make a paste of one pint of corn meal, one pint of oat meal, hot water sufficient to moisten, and add the juice of three lemons. Soak the hands in this for 20 minutes.

A Century Ago.

One hundred years ago Dr. Thomas Fanshawe Middleton was consecrated first bishop of Calcutta. The consecration took place in London, and soon afterward the new bishop sailed for India. In Calcutta, he laid the foundation for the Bishops* college in 1820, and established a consistory court in that city. While zealously engaged in his duties he was attacked with a fever, of which he died in 1822. For more than- a century the efforts to spread the Christian faith in India have continued. Numerically the Christian population in the great eastern empire is still insignificant, amounting to only about one per cent of the population, but it is generally admitted to have an influence out o>f all proportion to its numbers.
