S,Tk sf o Serge and Satin Is a Favorite Combination, While Silll Braid and ILmbroidery Are the Ordained Trimmings.

In tho present Instance, tho silk embroidery 13 used -with lavish hand all over the aforementioned tunic, which is larger la tho front than the back, In compli ance with the latest dictates of fash Jen in the matter. The fringe trim ming on the tunic ends ppeaks for ftself, a3 does the eollarless neck lino and the long, tight sleeve. Bi that wide satin girdle is something entirely different. It first made Its appearance on the semi-formal evening frocks so much la vogue, and baa now won a place for itself on the eergo and jer ect service frocks which find favor In every woman's wardrobe. Could anything bo more pmart than the ßilk braid trimming exploited on the second one, which is almost mil itary in effectiveness. But all suspi cion of military severity Is dispelled by the rows of fringe trimming which adorn the skirt. The latter is very odd ly built up. It gives the effect of a composite three-tired creation, which in reality is nothing but an eflcct achieved hy the Judicious placing of braid. The ?ido closing of the blou.sc is an innovation Introduced on this seapon's models, and the draped sash lends a softening and graceful air to what might otherwise a severe whole. The fringe is applkd to the Fkirt only part way around. It is tine silk-cord fringe, contrasting oddly with the practical materials and lines of the frock.

Thero is the plaid wool ekirt, the plaid dress and the ;iaid silk blouse. Even plaid taffeta frocks and hats. And now we see the vogue invading the sweater realm. In the present instance, it is expressed ia fiber silk, a yellow and brown and white jd1 with white borders and lelt. It is made in pop ular sleeveless style, collarlcss and with two deep pockets. But, you eay, only the very young and attractive person would dare euch a striking affair! Well, perhaps it would be well to be youthful and flcnicr, at least; but tho garment itself is so colorful ard attractive that it would moke up for any lack in the w rarer. It really is lovely enough to be wem for rather more conventional occasions than one usually done a sweat er for, and remember that a brilliant two-tontrd thing like this will look equally well with either dark or light clothes. lino and simplicity If lo general, It 13 a pleasing exception to see such a frock as is shown by the third photo graph. It 13 cut in three pieces, with the deep yoke and long kimono sleeves In one, a fitted corselet effect for the second piece and the straight narrow skirt for the third. That skirt is al lowed to fall in careless umbrella folds over the hips and i3 held in without fullness across the front and back. The back, however, Is slit for a few Inches at the hem, but two long flow ing panels are dropped from the belt to hide the slit The waist buttons down the center back. To give a color note to the somber blue of the serge tbere is a girdle of red ribbons, inter woven with strands of gold net. A great m.my women admire tho smartly boyish and trig lines of the eton blouse, but there are very few who arc actually willing to sacrifice the charms of more distinctly fem inine styles to its tailored severity. But the last dress illustrated demon strates that no sacrifice of feminine charm is necessary. Here the eton blouse is developed in navy blue serge, with smart lapels and collar bound with black silk braid. The satin sleeves and vested underblouse are translated with black satin. With the waist, the use of the serge ends. The skirt is entirely of satin, with an ex tremely narrow underskirt and a t'raptd and pointed tunic. The soft draped girdle is finished off with an embroidered wool motif which lends brightness and tone to tho whole frock. Rows of tiny buttons on the vest and cuffs supply tho only trimming.

P EOPLE who frequent resorts per suade themselves that they go either for health or pleasure. But that is not the real incentive. It is not the excellence of the doc- ft meets the other silk in an irregu tors nor the curative powers of the healing springs which forms the chief attraction of the health resort. Nor is the magnet which draws to sea shore or mountain to be found in the golf links, the fishing, the bathing, the motoring or the climbing. These are mere incidents of the trip; trivial details which pass unnoted. The dominant factor, the irresistible charm which impels, Is the opportun ity afforded for gossip. Not that resorts hold any monopoly on gossip. Far be it from me to im ply any lack of opportunity in towns lacking resort distinction. But tho op portunity Is multiplied, magnified, ac centuated, by the mere possession of a resort reputation. At home, the business man must devote some share of his time to bread-winning. Even the housewife, however systematized may be her plans, however trained her servants, must devote some share of her time to supervision. At the resort, all this is changed. Everything is ordered by those who serve and are paid for the serving. To the resorter Is left nothing but to create gossip or gossip about those who create. Women sit about and rock and seek things to say about the men not overlooking their absent sisters as possible co-partners in the evil deeds of men. And the men lounge about regaling themselves with the doings of their wives and other men's wives. Par ticularly, other men's wives. Take gossip and the opportunity for gossip away from the most not ed resort, and you would kill that re sort in a singlo season. 0 Few practices are more beneficial to the condition of the eyes than is that of bathing them regularly every night before going to bed. Dust readily ac cumulates on the lids between the Urhes and causes them to smart. At Odd Negligee EVEN the negligee ha3 the panel habit, and a better one it could hardly hope to adopt. Here in the sketch a short negligee has been suggested for two materials, a heavy one for the panels there is another matching panel in back and chiffon for the full sleeves. A third contrast. Ing silk is needed for the cowl collar and for the bottom of the panel wher flu m Will NOTICE THE PANELED EFFECT. larly stitched appliqued outline. Three shades-could be combined delightfully here, green, blue and purple peacock shadings, or gray, lavender and blue, gray for the chiffon, blue for the pan ellng and a deep violet for the collar and panel borders. Silver stitching would be lovely In the later case to separate the silks on the panels, and silver and violet tassels could weight the sleeves. A Stocking Rack NEAT, orderly way to keep the stockings, especially when sev eral pairs are worn in the course A of a week, is to take a tie or towel rack and fasten It on the inside of Pineapple Juice Is good for cleaning btains out of the hands. It should be well rubbed in, left for a few minutes and then thoroughly washed with plenty of soap and warm water. : 0 When the hair is thin or very straight it is a good plan to have one strand of tho three in the braii very tiny. Then when the braid is finished you can hold this one tiny strand very tight and put the two large ones up toward the head. A very fine mouth wash is made by combining one ounce of tincture of or ris, one ounce of essence of white rose, one drop of alcohol, 20 drops of pep permint. Pour a few drops in a half glass of water and rinse the mouth thoroughly. 0 A bleach that will improve the skin iz made of one and one-half drams of citric acid, five and one-half ounces of hot water, one dram of borax, a half ounce of rose water and a half ounce of glycerin. Into the hot water put the borax and citric acid. Let this stand in a bottle till the next day, then add the glycerine and rose water. Should there be any sediment before adding the glycerine strain through a mu3lin. Apply at night to the face, letting the liquid dry' la. Should it be Irritating annoint with Melrose cream and omit for a night. If not irritating apply again In the morning and wip off. 0 Try this lotion to improve the- hair, you will find it most helpful: Bicar bonate of soda i ounce; bor.ix, U ounce; cologne water, 2 ounces; al cohol, 1 cunce; tincture of cohineal. ? ounce, distilled water, 16 cmces. Massage well three times a week, using 10 ounces bay rum, 20 grains resorcin and three drams of canthar ides. A Lair grower that is often very effective Is made by combining 11 ounces cf eau de cologne with two ounces of pure castor oil. Tart the your closet door. If the door is al- ready covered with hooks, place the rack where it hangs a couple of feet above the floor, where It w'll not inter- fere with other garments. This meth- od of keeping the stockings is better than rolling them up in a ball, espe- cially whf re they have been once worn, or of leaving them lie loose in a draw- er o- upon the closet floor. hair with a comb, and rub In the hair over and over again until the prepara- tion has been distributed over the en- tire scalp. 0 Hair-curling fluids are not very sat- icfact0ry, but this formula is about the best: One-half ounce of borax, fifteen grains of gum arable, six drams of Bpirits of camphor, eight ounces of warm water. Dissolve the solids In warm water and when cool add the camphor. Wet the hair with fluid, ar range in ringlets and pin with hair pine. 0 iA To Save Collars ANY women to whom the blouse with a low neck is not entirely becoming have welcomed the return of the high-collared or "con vertible" shirtwaist that can be worn either buttoned up in tailor effect or open, for comfort. One of the main troubles with the-high neck edge, either on the blouse or in the case of a chemisette, is that contact with the fold of the neck edge of one's suit coat soils it very quickly and visibly. This 13 why the woman who knows is reviving for her own use the vogue of a little French "protection scarf," used quite widely some years ago. The difference ia that in Its original form this pretty accessory' was not supposed to be visible, except at the neck edge, while now the ends of it show dainty adornment in any of half a dozen dif ferent styles, and offer a chance for original devices. The "scarf itself Is made from fine white or cream-colored waßhable net, double, and with ends gathered in and finished with a 'puckered" rosette or a "stuffed ball" or with a combina tion of one of these with any of nu merous "dangles" or tassels cf white silk or mercerized cotton or of Iri?h crochet. If fancy should lead one to use a colored "motif" in order to eive a bright touch, it should be either washable or readily removable. A strip of net a yard long and from 12 to 14 inches wide, folded lengthwise and seamed invisibly, makes one of these protectors, requiring the least possible work for the effect produced, Thev are worn loosely abound the neck, just the edge showing Inside the coat collar, and do not need even to be fastened to it, though a pin in the middle of the back makes it more se- cure. Net is wide, and a single yard HAT practical material, unbleach ed muslin, la fast coming into favor for making the most at tractive aprons these days. Terhaps it is because its sturdy weave makes It particularly valuable for a garment which must see hard service but more likely because its creamy color lends it to an effective and cruder decora- tion l!ke cross stitch, hemstitching and the llke- The unusually attractive little apron shown in the sketch is cut in two PRACTICAL YET ATTRACTIVE. pieces, th" upp--r bib portion ex'T.'i ing to the very bak ar.d down ur.d"! the tkit part deep .'nough to n.a'r. deep pockets.
