bmhti? UU?IN6 COATS HANDSOME GARMENTS DEVISED FOR COMING SUMMER. Sketch Shows Idea That May Be Ta ken as Representative-Informal t ?ty Always the Chief Object in the Cut. Judging from advance models, the separate coats of the sporting type designed for the summer are to be even smarter and more attractive than those which were so successfully launched last year. They will be made up in all the same bright colors and practically the same materials as last year's models, but the new ones are possessed of a clever cut and grace of line that make them quite the nic est sort of a serviceable summer wrap. Of course, they are designed pri marily to wear with white tailored skirts and blouses or with white S2rge frocks, for. as a general rule, they are made up in such bright colors that they could hardly be worn with any thing but white. Emerald green, mus tard color, navy or Columbia blue, ce rise, magenta and scarlet are the shades that are most used, while there are any number of pure white ones just as there were last year. The striped blazer cloths will not be used at all. Today's sketch shows a coat that is representative of the new designs. It Warm Weather Outing Coats Are Smarter Than Ever. can be made in auy color desired and ls of velour de laine or a lightweight polo weave. The sleeves have very wide arm sides and are cut in one with the body. A very deep cuff is fitted to the forearm and Hares at top and bot tom under a row of cloth-covered but tons. The body of the coat is cut with some fulness that is. disposed of in naturally hanging folds held in place ?under an easily tacked-on belt which knots loosely in front. A row of but tons set closely along one side of the front is the only trimming aside from the tasseled sash ends. Most of the sporting coats reach well below the hips, are unlined and have their seams bound with silk lute string. Of course, such coats are al ways most informal. But now that they have lost that slouchiness that used to characterize outing garments and are instead graceful of line and trig looking with a certain dash about them, they are altogether useful, in fact, almost indispensable adjuncts to a well regulated spring and fall outfit. Linen Embroidered Sets. Among the hand-embroidered acces sories being worked by clever needle women are sets for summer frocks, in cluding collar, cuffs and sash or girdle of cOiored linen worked in oriental em broidery. One notable design was worked on one side of the front, with ends reaching below the knees. These ends were scalloped and embroidered in dull blues, rose and yellow to cor respond with the turnover collar and elbow cuffs. The whole was intended for w~ar with a white linen morning dress, or perhaps a sheer muslin. Hat's With Two Brims. The two-brimmed hat is becoming to many pretty faces. White duve tyn is chosen for the top brim, which is so flat a? to almost flo away with the appearance a separate crown. A frill o' lace hanging from the top brim is a fancy fiat veils the wreath Of rones that connects the two. MANY DESIGNS OF CRETONNE For Summer Decoration Housewife May Achieve Practically Any Effect Desired. The housewife who elects to do over the bedrooms in "simple chintzes" for summer days will discover that her idea, admirable though it may be, cannot be carried out as frugally as she imagines. It is most annoying, when one sets forth to buy cretonnes, to find that all the really charming patterns are so high priced. To be sure, one may have any quantity of simple effects at 9, ll or 15 cents the yard. but. alas, the colors are garish and crude, and onr^ place such pat terns beside the iovaly, blurry French effects and they become impossible, even for the "simplest little summer bedroom." There are cretonne designs now to accord with every scheme of furnish ing. One may have colonial chintzes, Georgian effects. Jacobean patterns, Chinese Chippendales, tapestry and block designs, and the cost thereof ranges from a modest 40 cents the yard to $1.98. The block printed cretonnes of Eng lish manufacture come in wonderful cashmere effects, which are orientally luxurious and are intended, of course, for living-rooms. For the bedroom nothing ls more beautiful than the warp-printed cretonnes with soft, shadowy floral patterns in blended tones of gray, rose, green, pale blue and cream. Some of these patterns show quaint little flower baskets and trellis designs. For mission rooms in the bungalow the Jacobean effect, with rich dull colorings, harmonize .well with dark oak furniture and wood work. Most original summer rooms can be devised by using Chinese cretonnes, with black or blue grounds, on which are printed birds and woodland scenes In strong colors. The futurist cre tonnes, though a blt bizarre in effect, will be rather stunning in certain sorts of bungalow Interiors. WIDE CHOICE IN NECKWEAR Variety of Styles Offered May Almost Be Said to Be Endless In Extent. The fashion of wearing dresses open at the throat has led to the adoption of an endless variety of neckwear. First, there was the guimpe without any collar at all. Now there are those with flowing collars and plastron or vestee fronts made of the sheerest swiss and organdy, either hand or machine embroidered, or tucked Sometimes a dainty lace ls added to relieve the severity and increase the appropriateness for use with summer dresses. The collar of these guimpes rolls, flares or stands away from the neck. Many collars are removable. They are fastened in the back with but tons or strings, so that they are taken off with ease. They are generally made of some airy fabric, such as tulle or lace. When they are made high and encircle the neck they are made to stand up by means of a very fine wire fixed to the edge of the frill. They may be made of muslin, cam bric, pique or organdy, trimmed with feather stitching and lace. Beautiful fronts are made of fine linen embroid ered in all kinds of ways. The shapes worn are of infinite variety. You may choose whatever suits you best if you leave the throat free. With the fashionable waistcoat, which is worn over a blouse of tulle or muslin, and which has the back made in the same material as the front, one may indulge every whim in fancy collars. Jaunty vests and waist coats of pique, organdy, ratine or linen, finished with plain rolling col lars wired in the back, are worn with the extremely short coats. NEW OUTING HAT Model of black and white checked la?ai straw with crown and brim of satin. To Set Colors. Now is the time when the "fore handed" woman is getting some of her summer sewing done. Before making up the colored wash materials ehe shrinks them and "sets" the colors. Green and lavender materials will re tain their coloring, unhurt by laundry work, if they are soaked at first fif teen minutes in about two gallons of cold water, to which half a cupful of strong vinegar has been added. Salt ed water, or water to which a little turpentine has been added, will set pinks sr.ii blues. Colored silk stock ings may be successfully washed by following the same rules. I MOST PRACTICAL FROCK BEST TO CHOOSE ONE THAT WILL STAND FREQUENT TUBBING. Will Be of Good Service Both as Graduation Gown and for Summer Wear Soft Mulls and Batistes Are Favored. Embroidered Ba tiste. It should not be a difficult problem to find a frock suitable for graduation purposes this year, for there are quan tities of adorable youthful models and exquisite materials that are avail able for the young girl graduate. The most practical of graduating frocks is of course the one that will stand tubbing. Fine lingerie gowns are nowadays more often sent to the cleaner than to the laundress; but the young girl as a rule is not overcareful of her clothes, and if a frock must go to the cleaner often during a summer one will have little com fort from it. Per haps the summer is to be spent where no clean ing establishment is close at hand and inconvenience is added to the time and expense entailed. So the frock actually fitted for tubbing is the practical frock for a girl whose sum mer wardrobe ls limited, and lt is quite possible to take this into con slderation without sacrificing too much upon the al tar of utility ? fine linen ls the most satisfac tory material for the lingerie frock that is to endure tubbing, and it wi!] pay to obtain an excellent quality. The batistes and mulls are softer and launder well If carefully handled, but the linen will outwear them every time. Various other sheer cottons have come into popularity. Swiss and or gandie are of course the old favor ites, but their crispness, once their chief merit, has made them yield place somewhat to the softer mulls and batistes and linens, though they are still liked. The cotton nets, voiles and crepes are more recent arrivals and have achieved decided popular ity, a very large percentage of the cotton graduating frocks this year be ing made up in these materials. They launder well, are easily han dled, and are very soft, graceful and durable)* despite their sheerness, anT they lend themselves admirably to simple forms of trimming, although they may be made very elaborate with hand embroidery. The cotton nets come 'in varying meshes, in wide widths and are not extremely expensive. Frequently one sees a frock made entirely of the net and quite devoid of trimming save for scalloped or picot edges or edges hemstitched. One expensive but re markably attractive frock of net was finished around the edge with scallops. The skirt was made over a silken foundation. There were two full ruf fles of the net shirred on two cords with a two-inch beading encircling the skirt. The ruffles. were finished at the upper and the lower edge by deep scallops. The lower part of the skirt was drawn in closely at the bottom and widened gradually toward the hips. The sleeves were finished at the lower edge with shirrings and a scal loped frill. Across the shoulders the sleeves were again shirred on two cords and headed by an upstanding scalloped frill. The frill was met at the back and front by scal loped edged rev ers, also of net. Folds of the plain net filled in the V at the back and front. The lower part of the bodice was formed of deli cate shadow lace. Another expen sive frock, which, however, is not an imported mod el, is ol' embroi dered voile. This is pictured, lt is made on the fa miliar lines of a simple full blouse with pepin ni or tunic, a plain, slightly draped skirt, slightly rounded away at the skirt bottom s at the frout. But the distinctive fea ture, as in the one first described, is the amount of hand embroidery wMch ornaments it. Net frills finish the long sleeve at the wrist and an upstanding frill of the net encircles the neck and extends down the front of the blouse. Embroidered Voile. Groups of Buttons. Little square buttons covered with silks are ranged in groupe on blouse sleeves and fronts. Some shaped hip yokes, below which tunics fall in ful ness, have these sets of squares at the front and at the back. Mrst engiU?i concertina. The first English concertina was made in IS29, but there was a Ger man concertina long before that time. Mozart (who seems to have written [or every instrument in existence in his day, including barrel organs, me chanical clockwork, etc.) wrote aa adagio in C major 2-4 time for the concertina in the year 1779, and also an adagio and rondo for concertina, flute, oboe, viola, and 'cello in 17'JO or 1791. \ Tomato Juice for Stains. Tomato juice is said to be success ful in many cases in removing ink stains from white materials, such as handkerchiefs, muslin frills, etc. It must, however, be done as soon as pos sible after the mishap occurred. A clean piece of blotting paper should be laid under the stain, and a slice of raw. ripe tomato rubbed over the surface, fresh pieces of blotting paper being substituted until the ink spot has vanished. Gentleness at Home. Use your gentlest voice at home. Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in days to come than the best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice ia joy, like a lark's song, to a hearth at home. It is a light that sings as well as shines. Train it to sweet tones now, and it will keep In tune through life.-Elihu Burritt.
