TAILOR MADE GOWNS FOR MORNING. SILK FOR AFTERNOONpfi^

Favorite Materials and Style* of the Season. Concrt Coating Furnishes a Popular Fabric For Tailor Suits—Tailor Gowns of

I a§:

Fashionable women wear tailor made govnrj in tho morning, on the promenade and for traveling. In the afternoon the f,\u.*ineut becomes a silk one, or crepon yerliaps, cr other soft stuff, made tip i'-: Frenchy effects. These soft falling materials are treated with exceeding grace, and the sleeves, which are all large and of the gigot shape at the top, are often graccfully ruffled on the arm, and the pannier style suits this soft ma-

Covert coating is the popular material of the season for general morning wear, for boating and the like.

Every second gown you see which is marked "tailor made" is made of this fabric. It comes in every

Its most conventional form is of oourse the coat and skirt with strapped seams, worn over a silken blouse, but oomplete dresses are also mado of it in a simple style. To grace such a dress as this it is necessary that the figure of the wearer should be beyond roproach—the slim waist, the slim hips, the chest moderate, are absolutely essential to its success. Every variety of the coat and skirt style needs gorao kind of blouse or shirt to complete it

A smart bodice to wear with this sort of dress is of blaok satin, shirt style, with a box plait down the center of the front, fastening with jeweled pins or

GOWNS FOR SUMMER.

Linens of All Sorts Hold an Exalted Position—The Irish Flax Fabrics. Among other novelties this season is the hopsack linen. Seen at a little distance, the hopsack linen has all the appearance of a rich thick silk, and yet it possesses all the hard wearing and washing propensities of an ordinary linen. The range of colors is exceedingly good, a soft gray blue being particularly artistic, a fact which is worthy of note, for a great drawback to the ordinary linens is the hardness of the coloring. Great care has been taken, however, to produce these linens in the most becoming shades. The new material is 37 inches wide, and it is quite sufficiently substantial to make up well without any lining.

A great variety of plain linens have been prepared, and among them there is to be found the real butcher blue, and why this most attractive material need be reminded of its disagreeable extraction by being labeled "butcher blue" when by another name 'twould sound more sweet is a matter for conjecture. For children's dresses and shirts a third light make of linen is to be recommended very strongly. This may be procured in blues and various other tones, a pretty brown being included in the range of colors. These materials are all made in fast colors only and are handmade by the Irish peasantry. For skirts and coats, tennis and boating dresses and covert coats for summer wear these fabrics are perfection, while the hopsack linen is quite worthy of taking its place among the smart materials which adorn our persons on great occasions, while it would equally adapt itself to the needs of the woman who yearns for a washing tea gown or robe de chambre of attractive appearance.

The galatea cottons, so long used for ohildren's sailor suits, are this season added to the list of fabrics for adults and are being made up into gowns for yachting and country wear. They come in narrow stripes of white, alternating with blue. red brown or blaok, and also in solid colors.

The old fashioned grass oloth or linen batiste of pale ecru and tan shades is made up in very chic gowns for midsummer wear. They are trimmed with heavy laces in points, medallions and insertions and are given a touch of color by a velvet stock and belt of nile green, turquoise blue, golden brown or pink.

Dimity gowns are again in order, as are those of pique swiss and organdie muslins. Very effective piques have ribbed stripes of dark blue and white only a quarter of an inoh wide. These are made with around waist jacket and deep volant, cut circular and open up the baok. The open fronts have the revere and sailor collar now in vogue, with an extra white pique collar buttoned on invisibly. Pique blazers, cut short and full in the baok, button only once on the bust, are rounded below to show a vest or shirt and have a notched collar stitched near the edge. Curved Blit pockets are on the sides.

Note* For Piano Teachers.

I found that many teachers made the mistake of giving the pupils too much in a lesson. Instead of taking one point and making it perfectly clear to the pupil, they confused the latter with a multitude of details, and the consequence was that the pupil did nothing intelligently and well, writes Perlee V. Gervis in The Etude. He says:

I was surprised to find so many teachers using the Mason "Touch and Technic" with the hand and arm in a Btate of great rigidity. CJnless the muscles can be kept devitalized, one would better leave the two finger exercise alone, as it may be productive of more harm than good, owing to the fact that the contracted muscles are exceedingly liable to strains.

One teacher had been playing for years with not only the forearm, but the upper arm to the shoulder as rigid as iron. He had been studying all the time with good teachers—at least teachers of reputation as musicians. He oould not play three pages of a piect containing perfectly easy finger work without becoming exhausted. I was obliged to forbid him the use of the piano entirely (for he oould not even play legato) and go baok to the most elementary work on the Virgil Clavier before I could secure the free action of the fingers, with the hand and arm in a devitalized condition.

Chamois may be substitutod for the silk if it is so desired, but cither silk or chamois will keep the scissors bright

EASILY MADE SCREENS.

These Conveniences Can Be Concocted a* Home at Small Expense. Nothing is more generally useful than a screen. There was a time when screens were costly, but happily they can be had at the present for a comparatively email sum when elaborate and for very little money indeed if you choose to em-

SCREEN OF TEA CHEST MATTING.

ploy your leisure time and do a little work yourself. Bamboo frames and wooden frames are offered by every dealer, and as the panels can be easily fitted expense need be little more than they cost Or, if you care to undertake the task, your carpenter will make pine frames for even less money, and you can cover them and attach the hinges yourself.

For the former sort the materials that can be utilized are almost too numerous to mention—linen, silk, denim and a host of other low priced fabrics. For the latter there are also linen and denim and the excellent tea chest matting as well.

The pine frames that require to be entirely covered call for something serviceable, and nothing is at once better and simpler than the tea chest matting, which costs nothing at all. It is used to wrap around matting of finer sorts, and the dealers are always glad to give it away. If you care to obtain some and try the experiment, order four thin frames of three inoh pine strips in any size you prefer. Then cover each neatly, with the matting turned over to the under side, and line it with ordinary cotton flannel Buy four good brass hinges and screw them on and finish all the outer edges of the panels with orna mental brass nails, and when all the mechanical work is done paint your design. The New York Herald, authority for the foregoing, advises if the screen is for the dining room fruit, suoh as a branch of growing oranges or red apples hanging from the bough, will be excellent If for the sitting room or drawing room, some brilliant floral, subject will be good. So long as you ohoose a subject with good rich color all will be sure to go well. The matting makes a perfect background and shows up over the simplest design with marvelous success.

Creamed Codfish.

Pick into small pieoes, after soaking, till soft enough, enough codfish to fill a pint bowl. Pour cold water over it and heat slowly to boiling then pour off the water and replace with enough fresh boiling water to cover it Cook slowly for a half hour or till tender then if any water remains pour it off. Season with a spoonful of butter, a bit of pepper and a thiokening of a tablespoonful of flour mixed to a paste in a pint of rich sweet milk. If more salt than remains in the fish is necessary, add it after tasting. Boil till it thickens slightly. This is nice dipped over toast or served with potatoes cooked dry and mealy and salted only. Potatoes may be oooked with the codfish and the whole seasoned as above. Peel the potatoes and slice into thick slices and add them to the fish after the first water is drained off and it is put to cook in the boiling water. r., ,,

Luncheon Favortu

Luncheon favors should be ohic, very unique, but need not be costly. Bonbon holders may be made at home, costing only a few cents apiece. Some pretty ones that figured reoently at a luncheon were made as follows: The foundation, cardboard, had been cut and sewed in box shape. About this the popular crimped paper, in the giddiest of yellows, graoefully fell, forming odd little frills and points, these being scalloped at the edges. A few stitches here and there, and the charming nest for goodies was ready for loops and cunning twists of shining satiny ribbons. The bebe ribbon, bought by the piece, is quite sufficient for a full set of favors.

Fashion Notes.

Laoe is being used as an edging for bonnet strings and for veils., Gold embroideries are in vogue.

The great feature of all season is lace, and the general effect of a short curtain of laoe hanging over the back hair is rather pretty.

Among the many novelties of the season .are entire fcovns of black braid made over colored silk.

Checked Louisine silks, Soft and firmly woven, are revived for summer gowns and are usually of changeable tints.

Every woman who has a fine gold (Jiain out into segments by pearls attached to her person takes great care to show it

Green sticks are the latest fad in sunshades, The handles are extremely or-

nate. The most distracting thing in the way of French petticoats is one of palest blue and gold shot moire antique, flounced with lace and,trimmed with ribbons. HfflSE

The newest chemises and knickerbockers are of finest white cambric trimmed with black lace. The black lace is very becoming to the sidn.

A novelty for summer is hopsack linen. Walking dresses are made ground length and only long or trained for evening and dinner toilets. The skirts are very simple, bat nearly all have a slight loop or drape, generally on the left side or in front.

A CHAPTER.ON BAGS.

THEIR USES ARE VARIOUS AND THEIR NUMBER LEGION.

Pretty Affairs Especially Adapted to tho Extravagant Purposes of the Day—Party Bags, Shopping Bags, Opera Bags and

Bags For'Fancy Needlework.

Any-one who has ever kept house, first with bags and then without, must appreciate their undoubted worth. Among those who have never known them the* bag enthusiasts certainly have missionary work to da Ragbags, piecebags, stringbags, duster bags, party bags, fanbags, opera bags, shoebags, ringbags and stocking bags—what more of a text can any one desire to preach from than that? On this present occasion attention is called to three handsome varieties of bags recently illustrated in The Housewife and suitable for any of the pretty extravagant purposes of the day, none of them being made on the disks, which, by the way, are emphatically not proper for bags to be carried on the arm.

The large bag of brocade with its soft silk lining is a party bag made to cany slippers, fan, handkerchief, bang comb and such unconsidered trifles. Done in black silk or satin, either plain or self figured, this bag, 15 inches in depth, is just right for a shopping bag or to carry for any similar everyday purpose.

The second is of rich bfocade and laoe and is distinctly an opera bag to contain glasses, handkerchief, salts bottle and

PARTY BAG. m&^PFERk BAG.

so on. The third is distinctly a fancy workbag, made to leave about one's own house with the particular bit of frivolity in it which ocoupies odd minutes, or to contain that, \yifch silks and soissors and thimble, when one goes visiting. A helpful detail is also given of the ribbon work decoration, which adorns the otherwise plain silk bag.

For single gifts a bag is incomparable if the wants of the recipient aje studied. A little chamois bag to hold her rings, or a beautiful fanbag just large enough to hold and protect a party fan, is a delight to a young lady just indulging in any of these treasures for the first time, while, as for boys and girls, the very name is suggestive of marble bags, shoebags, schoolbags and the like. Does a friend intend to marry—a complete set of household and toilet bags would never cease to remind her pleasantly of the giver, especially if the giver is thoughtful enough to eschew any particular style of decoration and to choose beautiful materials, which are not stamped with any distinct epoch of color or design.

For handkerchiefs and stockings »nu such things the prettiest foundation is a circle upon which the bag itself is gathered. A really beautiful stocking bag was made in tins way: Two disks of light cardboard, about 4 inches in diameter, were each covered with a bit of white flannel, Cover these always by

cutting a disk an inch wider than the cardboard. Run a stout gathering snugly over the cardboard, tying the string close to the edge and draw it thri*"*- Cut the silk and draw it over the cardboard in the same way. Punch holes thickly in the cardboard, and, after the two disks are sewed over and over, stitch, placing between them as much sachet powder as will go without making the bottom rounding or lumpy. The cardboard will protect the scent, while the pinholes will let it out a little at a time. waim

nothing Apron For Mothers. Wherever there is an infant there ought to be a bathing apron. The best one for the purpose is a double flannel one, with a piece of rubber cloth between. Take two yards of soft flannel, fOftptily gather one end of flannel on a band and sew four buttons on the band. Extend the ends of band sufficiently to button around the waist also gather the other end of flannel scantily and face. Work four buttonholes in the facing to correspond with buttons in the band. Work buttonholes in one end of rubber cloth, button this to the band, then fold up the lower half of the flannel and button this to the band also. When necessary to launder, the rubber oloth can easily be removed. Flannel is preferable to any other goods for such aprons, as it readily absorbs moisture and is not cold and clammy to the touch when wet, as is cotton goods.

Excellent Cookies.

Excellent cookies may be made using 2 cups of sagar, a cup of butter, 4 eggs, a teaspoonful of soda, 2 teaspoonfula of cream of tartar. Flavor with nutmeg and add enough flour to roll out. Do not roll too thiia.

They Want Names.

The Russell Art Publishing Co., of 928 Arch street, Philadelphia, desire ihe names and address of a few people in every town wbo are interested in works of art, and to secure them they offer 10 send FREE, "Cupid Guides the Boat," a superbly executed water color picture, size 10 13 iuches, suitable for framiug, and sixteen other pictures about satne size. iu colors, to any one sending them at puce the names and address of ten persons (admirers o* tine pictures) together with six two eeut stamps to cover expense of mailing, etc The regular price of these pictures is $1 00, but they can all be secured free by any person forwarding the names and stamps promptly.

NOTK—The

editor of this paper has al

ready received copies of above pictures and considers them really "Gemsof Art."

•«*./ Cleaning Wall Paper.

The very easiest way to clean wall paper that has become dingy from dust and smoke is to arm oneself with a broom, over which is pinned some cotton cloth, which must be changed frequently, as the flannel will soon be in such a condition that to continue its use would sraesir the walls with dust and soot. Go over the ceiling first with long, even, firm strokes then do the walls in the same way. Another way to clean the paper is with stale bread. Cut off the crust from tho long end of the loaf and rub the paper with it, cutting off a thin slice as soon as the crumbs become soiled. To remove a grease spot, lay coarse brown paper over it and pass a hot iron over the brown paper. Repeat this process, using afresh piece of paper until the spot disappears. y'j

.! Repairing the Cable.

The cable ship Minia has started from Queenstown on the difficult enterprise of repairing one of the Anglo company's defective cables in 2,800 fathoms of water in the mid-Atlantic. The cable will have to be overhauled for several hundred miles, the defective sections cut out and new lengths spliced in. The Minia took 500 miles of new cable, half of which is expected to be used. Some people believe an entirely new cable would be found cheaper in the end.

Money is Tight.

And when was it ever otherwise? The oldest man cannot remember. People are grumblers—all grumble—ministers and laymen complain. Well, then, "times are dull, and money is tight," but haven't you got enough to buy a bottle of SOZODONT, to keep your teeth clean, and mouth sweet, and help you enjoy life?^^y^*5 .J
