1 j j 'i i ! ; la MotIik Time sad Carpets. .11KKE are two epochs in the his tory of domestic life that are alike distasteful to mun and woman. Although Americans are popularly supposed to be a rest less people, the stirring seasons of house cleaning and moving give them a surfeit of activity. House-cleaning, perhaps. Is loss Obnoxious to womunkind than It Is to man, but the operation of changing residence brings woe to wife, husband and all their kin who dwell with them or who are wilbin their bailing distance. Moving Is something that requires per sonal supervision. Servants and brawny furniture men may be utilized, but the scene of the action Is not complete without the mistress of the mansion. She hovers about, sometimes on the bare landing of the stairs and again darting from one room to another with sundry precious heir looms that she can scarcely resign to the athletic men who seem to handle pitchers as If they were bedsteads. Taking up the carpets is one of the most trying experiences. l?y all means obtain the services of an upholsterer, while you attend to other weighty mutters, such as soothing the dlnnerless men and crying children. But if you must economize, bo fin in the parlor for a very obvious reason. If you start at the top story you will doubt less remove each Individual tack carefully, no matter how lovingly It clings to the carpet. By and by, when you reach the second or first floor, you will have grown weary in well-doing and find yourself reck lessly elevating tacks, carpets and a good portion of the wood beneath. When the parlor is invaded, the best carpet of the bouse will be apt to suffer. Therefore, com mence on the lower floor and mount up ward. What a blessing is the homely rau carpet In moving time! A very practical plan adapted by some fcousekeepers consist in taking up the car pets and having them laid in the new home before the day appointed for the change of abode. This method has consid erable of philosophy to commend It, for there Is a certain restless "we must get it over" spirit that affects everyone during the preparations for removal, and this will put up with bare floors for a few days with some degree of resignation. But after the act Is' performed and the family Is within the new house there is nothing more disheartening than the mi gration from room to room during the period when the carpets are seeking their Ultimate resting places. Have the carpets all down before moving Into the new house and you will be lees apt to feel homesick In the new surroundings. Cort Dn-orllou m Noccnnlty. i lEW CORSET decorations are as I WT I much a necessity as an adorn- 11 ment to corsets. The full bodice fronts and yoke effects make it Imperative that there be an even, full line across the front of the bodice from shoulder to shoulder. One of the confections made to achieve this result Is a band of lace, run through the top with rfbbon fastened Inside the shoulder with ribbon bows, to which are g-athercd two or three ruffles of lace of graduated widths, one fulling over the other. Another band effect is covered with a deep, quilled ruchlng of bobbinet. Still another has a full quilling of pinked taffeta and a similar one is made of ruffles tof ribbon with or without a big bow in the middle. More popular than these are the padded bows. A strip of figured, dotted or plum satin or silk is cut to reach from shoulder to shoulder. This is lined with cotton wadding, folded over uud sewed together on the edge. It is then tied Uglttly across the middle with a large ribbon bow of the same color. Where the material is plain it is decorated with hand-painting or hand-en.broidery on each end of the pad, and often upon the ribbon ends und loops. White, pale blue and pink are favorite colors Tor puds, while forget-me-nots, vio lets and little pink touch utu employed principally In the decorations. Plump women prefer a decoration imme diately in the front of the corset The genera style Is a flat, wadded beart, larger than a large hand, and trimmed around the edge with fine narrow lace. The heart Is covered with fine embroidered mull, or some other sheer material, over colored silk or Batln. little lace-bordered and embroidered handkerchiefs, with a beading In the upper portion or across the middle, are popular to wear In front of corsets. Narrow rib bon, run through the beading, is drawn to make full gathers in the handkerchiefs. All Halt the Hmae Mllltaev. i . a T IS prophesied that the womrn iJ T 1 will daily bo seen on the hotel 3? piazzas this summer with some rt&jjEl dainty piece of millinery in their i"YTy lunula, just as they did dob d work and basketry last season. Even wealthy girls will be seen with needles and thimbles making their own hats. Indeed, the fud Is fast developing. There are numberless smart touches which the homo milliner can give her hats this season, and If she wishes to do so, she can even make her own shapes by in vesting in a pair of pincers and a bunch of wire. Among the novelties shown for the home milliner are charming lace straw trim mings. They are entirely different from anything ever displayed before,- und at first glance appear to be laces, they nre so filmy and elaborate. They come in yard bands, and all have a mallne edge ready to sew on the hat, which matches the groundwork of the design. An exclusive pattern, which would go well on a brown mallne hat. Is a combina tion of cream and deep ecru. The founda tion Is cream, Hnd Is woven so finely that It looks like soft luce. On this Is em broidered, with erru rlbblcone. chrysanthe mums, which stand out In relief. Another design shows a daisy pnttern In cream and deep ecru nlso, the dnisles om broldered with the rlbblceue. This band is nbont three Inches wide. Including the eroam mallne edge. It would make a strik ing edge for a brown openwork straw or raffia hat. One lnce and straw pattern Is loss dainty than these, but quite as artistic. It Rives the appearance of a two-Inch band or rope of beads, which nro really straw beads Early Summer Accessories joT nrirr handkerchiefs and white I C I ones with colored borders are the J nnlv correct tliirtr for use with the shirt waist suit this spring and summer. These come in soft est mulls and linens, in pale lavenders, blues, pinks, yellows and even In reds. They are scalloped, hemstitched and lace edged in fast colors. All sorts of floral fancies are carried out In these moucholrs, but the preference Is for small flowers like forget-me-nots, dais ies and wild roses. These are embroidered in mercerized floss, which looks like silk In the natural colors. A parasol fad Is the use of jet studded handles. Many of tho exclusive sunshades and carriage parasols in all the blue, gray, pink and lavender shades, as well as the red, green and black ones, show these handles. Some are curved In crooked ef fect, others straight, but they are a solid mass of jet the size of seed pearls. The bracelet is becoming more popular, and it is predicted that two Instead of one will be worn before summer wanes. At present the bracelet is worn on ths left arm. Gold bracelets, which are merely ex aggerated rings, are to be seen. Others are set with tho favorite jewels or birth day stones of the woarer. The bangle bracelet Is also to be seen with chains of tiny gold hearts dangling from It. The favorite armlet is a delicate silver fllagreed affair, which is made by the Indians. It Is sometimes set with a large turquoise. A ring of tho same material is worn with this bracelet. Necklaces of slender silver or gold rhaln have a heart or Swastika cross dangling from ths end. The cross is more popular than the heart, as it is supposed to be symbol of good luck. A large turquoise Joined as If strong. These designs come In mixed and solid colors. One four-Inch freen straw h'-nd design bss an edge of red chrysanthemums made of the straw heads nlso. It would change tho entire appearance of a plain rough Green straw, and would look equully as pretty on a red or brown hal. A trtnrntliig which only romea In narrow Inch and a hair bunds Is of green lace like straw, with a gold cloth edge of chry santhemums. Straw buttons for trimming are shown In big bunches In all colors for 35 cents a dozen. The ecru ones resemble the bache lor's button. nibhnns, luces and flowers will be used singly and In combination on the summer hat. Entire flower huts are already seen In the long, narrow turban shape so much worn during the winter. Borne of the rib bons for millinery purposes are resplendent In floral designs, especially the pongee rib bons, which are to piny an important part in tho summer wardrobe. The full of lace from the back of tho hnt Is noticeable, anil gives the smart tourh which nothing else can, ff prop erly adjusted. It Is also rumored that broud ribbon streamers will bo worn on the hats, some of which will hang nearly to the bot tom of the gown. Streamers on Gains borough nnd the various styles of picture hatB will be brought around In front and left hanging In graceful lines, perhaps knotted ut tho ends. Children's hats nnd bonnets, whether of rut-out embroidery, straw or lnce, will bo elnliorately trimmed with wreaths of daisies, apple blossoms, forget-me-nots, nnd other dainty flowers. ;lrU Filled (he Hole. IT the quick wit and courage of B. MS two pretty girls the telephone company wns prevented from erecting a pole In tho alley In th rear of 703 Kenyon avenue, Cln Mrs. I H. Reed owns the place. clnnatl. and. after the workmen hud dug a deep hole In the "shot gravel," It semed to undermine the foundation of her house, nnd she com plained to City Electrician Welssleder und Building Inspector Tooker. These officials hurried to the place, but declared the foundation would not be offcted after (he pole was In the ground. They left and the Is usually set In the center of the heart of cross. The peacock superstition Is evidently a thing of the past, for not only girdles or to be seen trade from sections of the feath ers set In gold frames, hut pins of peacock feathers are also worn. One seen re cently wub the tip of a real feather set like those In the belt In a medallion with glass over If, and worn for a brooch. An other peacock pin, which Is worn fb fusion the collar, or In a pair to clasp the turn over cuffs. Is less than an Inch long und an exact Imitation of a feuther in gold and flllgTee. Gold or silver cloth slippers for evening wear, with flowers to match, are consid ered exclusive. A pair of silver cloth ones had silver orchids for ornaments. These slippers have a double advantage, as they do not need to match a gown and can be worn so as to give the crush effect. The new automobile veils are more ornate than ever. An exclusive model is of lavender chiffon, with an accordeon pleated ruffle all about the edge, so that It falls from the hat about the neck. It Is kept In position ubout the neck by a silk elastic cord, which hooks in the back. The frill looks much like an Elizabethan ruff. A lavender bow where the veil is attached to tho but finishes it. Another automobile veil Is a combina tion of eggshell blue chiffon and black zig zag Insertion. The latter Is set In across that portion of the veil which covers the eyes, and as the lace Is an opt n work mesh. It enables the wearer to see through It better than through tho chiffon. It also fastens at the neck with a rubber band which hooks at (he back, but Instead of a frill, there are long bow knot ends of the chlfTon which fall nearly to the waist line. The veil is fastened on ths hat In wire hoop. workmen commenced digging. As soon as thp hole was completed one of the men jumped In. ns he feared the woman or hnr daughters might throw an obstacle into It. To his surprise, the two handsome girls sprang Into the holu nfter him nnd refused to get out. The man climbed out nnd b ft the girls holding the fort. Only the hcida of the young ladles were above gro ind. The other men had the pole ready to put Into the hole, but could not do so without Injuring the girls. The scrim attracted u large crowd. The excitement ran high. At this Juncture City Klectrlclan Welssleder came back, nnd, siring up the situation, ad vised the foreman of the laborers to give It up and erect the pole elsewhere. The plucky girls refused to get out of the hole until assured that It would be filled up with dirt at once, which was done, uniltl the cheers of the amused spectators. What Women Are linlnar.
