puggaree muslin are the usual trim
ming, with bunches of cock's feathers
or drooping pheasant's plumes, which
have replaced last summer's stiff
eagle's quills.
The sailor hat bobs up serenely; it
is little changed in shape, though
occasionally it has an absurdly high
crown. For dressy wear it is deco
rated with wreaths of leaves, or with
twists of tulle and spreading wings.
An outing hat of khaki in a flat
beret shape, with two quills passing
through the khaki from side to side,
one on the crown, the other through
the brim. These are held by a double
clasp in strass. At the side, close to
the hair, is a looped rosette of khaki
colored ribbon.
Nearly all hats are arranged to
match the neckwear and the parasol.
With a blouse in green and mauve
will be worn, for example, a green
straw hat, whose brim is lined with
line mauve hyacinths, close set. The
parasol, if possible, will be covered
with silk like that of the blouse.
A Forecast of Summer Style*.
Bed foulards and chalhes promise
to be even more popular this summer
than the blues that have so long held
their own. The model shown in the
large engraving reproduced from the
New York Sun represents a frock in
figured red foulard. The long, plain
skirt falls in ample fclds and has an
overtunie with a pointed tablier front.
The tunic is edged all round with a
broad band of white Cluny laee. A
broad godet plait headed by a long
narrow lace insertion raises this tunic
at either side. The bolero is in red
velvet veiled with old guipure that ex
tends upon the shoulders so as to
form jockey sleeves. At one side
droops a lace lapel over which the
bolero fastens with a single big but
ton. The s'aeves have a cuff corre
sponding to the "jockey-sleeve" at
he shoulder. Red velvet forms the
olded belt. The underblouse, of
olack silk muslin over green silk, is
inartistic contraiit to the red of the
velvet and silk. Small tabs of red
velvet finish the stock in the back.
At the throat is a bow in white tulle.
The hat is in red chip faced with pink
muslin and edged with black velvet.
Its trimming consists of a large triple
looped bow in black velvet ribbon
with a border in pink. A red velvet
chou holds this bow in place and more
choux appear beneath the brim at one
> side.
An absolute novelty in street suits
- is also shown in the large picture. It
demonstrates two things—the growing
fancifulness of the tailor-made toi
lette, and the overpowering popular
ity of the lace jacket. The suit is of
pale mauve cloth and has a very
short, single-breasted, basqued coat
buttoned snugly down the middle of
the front. Over the corsage and the
sleeves of this coat is the lace jacket
in ecru guipure. The lapels are in
white satin, hand painted w»JI violets
and with a narrow edging in black
velvet. A broad, flat collar of the
cloth formu an effective background to
these lapels. Bound the hips and
again a little distance above the hem
the skirt is banded with mnny rows of
stitching. A cravat of white chiffon
finishes the throat, while the hat is of
mauve straw faced with black chiffon,
and trimmed with white and black
chiffon. At one side of the brim,
against the wearer's hair, rests a mass
of shaded mauve roses.
For the Children.
Children's clothes are to be trimmed
with heavy cream lace and insertion.
Little boleros of the lace will be worn
with wash silk waists. Narrow velvet
ribbons also will be utilized in trim
ming their clothes.
Sashes on Tlieir Frocks.
Sashes are very much in evidc-ice
on thin frocks. They are arranged iu
the long, slender effects and are built
chiefly of some thin fabric.
Shirt Waists in Infinite Variety.
The only monotony of style in shirt
waists has entirely disappeared, and
there is simply no limit to the varia-
tions in design and decoration, «a'
the New York Sun. For outing pur
poses and strictly morning wear there
are the plain tailor-made waists of
madras and cheviot, with a French
back and a box plait down the front,
but the dainty sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are so
much more attractive that the original
shirt waist is quite eclipsed by the
more feminine variety. All over em
broideries are used for white waists,
and in small designs of dots and birds'
eyes, embroidery forms two-inch
bands with narrow lace finishing the
edges, on a plain white lawn waist,
striping it in three rows up and down
the back and front.
A silk bodice which lias the effect of
a bolero is tucked around in waved
lines, and the lower part of it a >ove
the belt is of diamond-tucked white
organdie, very fine and sheer. This
forms the lower sleeve, the transpar
ent chemisette and collar band and
the revers edged around with a frill
of lace.
Another model with a yoke of iace
is piped around the neck with black
velvet, and a cravat of the same silk is
threaded through an opening below

HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
For Your Gla.aware.
In washing glassware beware cl
placing it in hot water bottom down,
for that is the time that an ominous
sound will tell of a crack from sudden
expansion. Very hot water will not
hurt any piece of glassware if only
the inside as well as the outside comes
into contact with the water. The
best way to wash cut glass is to firs!
put it iuto warm water in which a lit
tle soap ha 3 beeu dissolved aud thee
rinse it in warm water to which nu al
most imperceptible amount of am
monia has been added. A soft rag foi
drying and a small brush for polishing
are nearly indispensable if yon wish
your cut glass to retain its brilliancy.
Hlntfi f»r fit* Kitchen.
Cases of poisoning have arisen
through a careless disregard for the
cleanliness of the cookiug utensils oi
of their perfect condition. Directly a
copper saucepan shows signs of being
at all worn it should be retinned, and
in any case nothing of nu acid nature
should be allowed to remain in it
while coolincr. The same with regard
to zinc and lead vessels, which are
unsafe for cooking purposes. Those
of tin, steel, iron or nickel are the
safest to employ. Remember, too,
that it is better to use a wooden spoon
than one of metal when stirring milk
or soups,and that before using baking
tins you should grease them inside
thoroughly either with butter or lard.
In order to prevent them from burn
ing it is as well to take the precaution
of spriuking the shelves of the over

A I'ie for Oilcloth.
In moving from one house to
another, carpets are often a source ol
worry to the prudent housekeeper.
Sometimes they are too large, but

larger thau the carpet which must
cover it. This may easily by reme

they are too old for staining, straw
matting is usually the first thing the
puzzled housewife turns to for assist

A bright little woman, whose litn
ited purse has taught to be au experl
contriver, recently moved iuto a house.
Her sitting room carpet was much toe
small, leaving over a foot of bare flooi
on two sides of the room. The flooi
was too poor to admit ot painting, ano
she did not wish to buy auything, sc
she set her wits to work.
She found some old oilcloth in the

both tasteless aud dangerous. The
bird will pick at the bright poiuts and
dangling spangles until it poisons oi

crinkles are so many lodgings for dirt
and vermin. Wooden cages are to be
avoided because subject to impurity,

one, and repaint it as often as seems
desirable.
Where you shall place your canary

matter to consider carefully. In sum

frighten him to death. Remembet
that these little creatures may easily be

Holland'* Famous Tnllp Craze.
"In the year 1634 the tulip craze
in Holland," writes Clifford Howard,
in the Ladies' Home Journal, "be
came so great that the ordinary in
dustries were neglected. No one
wanted to do anything but raise tulips.
A rare specimen offered for sale called
forth exciting bidding. Every one
was on the lookout for special varie
ties. It was rumored at one time
that there were but two bulbs of the
Semper Augustus in existence in Hol
land. One of them was owned by a
florist in Haarlem, and another by a
dealer in Amsterdam. This rumor
was sufficient to arouse the liveliest
commotion in tulip circles, and dealers
and fanciers hurried forward with
offers to purchase—each one endeav
oring to outbid the other. The com
petition became so eager that finally
one man offered twelve acres of city
property for the Haarlem bulb; bat
the owner refused to sell. The bulb
in Amsterdam was knocked down to
the highest bidder for nineteen hun
dred dollars in cash, two horses, a
carriage and a set of harness—a total
of about three thousand dollars, which
in those days was a fabulous sum."

When the new minister, a hand
some and unmarried man, made his
first pastoral call at the Fosdicks, he
took little Anna up in his arms and
tried to kiss her. But the child re
fused to be kissed; she struggled
loose and ran off into the next room,
where her mother was putting a few
finishing touches to her adornment
before going into the parlor to greet
the clergyman.
''Mamma,"the little girl whispered,
the man in the parlor wanted me to
kiss him."
"Well," replied mamma, "why
didn't you let him? I would if I were
you."
Thereupon Anna ran back into the
parlor, and the minister asked:
"Well, little lady, won't you kiss
me now?"
"No, I won't," replied Anna,
promptly, "but mamma says she will."

Inspection by Tapping.
Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich Reserve Depot
are the doings of a small party of of
ficials, one of whom appears to do
nothing all day long but sit at a table
and tap on the top of tin canisters
with a couple of bits of etiok some
thing after the manner of a child beat
ing on the upturned end of his dram.
The tins are passed before him about
as fast as he can tap them, and abso
lutely nothing seems to come of the
game. To the unenlightened onlooker
it is quite unintelligible. The tins
contain meat, and before they are
passed into the store it is, of course,
important to examine the condition of
what is inclosed, and this in fact is
the way it is done. The trained ear
of the expert examiner can tell whether
the meat is in a wholesome or a putrid
condition by the sound emitted when
rapped with the stick, just as the ex
aminer of railway carriage wheels is
supposed to be able to tell whether
the wheel he taps with his hammer is
cracked or not. The rapidity with
which the business is gone through
and the seeming inattention of the per
former with the sticks, and his total
indifference to all sorts of noises about
him, render the procedure a very
curious one to watch. The test is
said to be practically infallible.—Lon
