Pointed panels of the dark green trimmed tho skirt, nnd a broad plait extended down the waist. On each sldo wcro straps of the same, each strap held by a steel button. Tho sleeves to the elbow were of the dark green cloth. Green has not threat- encd to leave us yet". The novelty of having a now color to dress with, I'ntl such a becoming color, too, has mado green the most popular shade for women's gowns. Tho body of this very tasteful green gown was of the plain ladles' cloth, while the rest of the dress had the tiuy black figure. This actually mado the dress a three-tone one, but so beautifully did it all blond that It might havo been cut from one piece of dress eoods. I'laln Surfaces the llt.

Ono of thoso roomB waa lauded aa a thine of henntv becauso It existed In tho houso of a mll- llonnlre, and much money had been ex pended upon It, Tho other room was in tho houso of a seamstress who had expended her hard-earned dollars in furnishing a llttlo parlor with which she was much delighted. Both rooms wcro ugly and tiresome because of tho figured surfaces that covered floor, windows and furniture, nnd tho hang ings. Tho patterns wcro largo and Bhowy in tho eastern rug, tho rich walls wcro covered with figured silk, nnd tho chairs had velvet roses grow ing in a satin background. In a more satisfactory room dono by a woman decorator I find tho floor, which has a plain hard wood border, covered by a large rug with a plain center and a figured border. A tnblo cover that Is also plain with the exception of a scroll border Is of a hmtrouB short napped velvet. The walla aro covered with painted tapestries, but the windows nnd doors that dlvldo them hero and thero havo plain hangings. Tho cell ing of tho room Is crossed by panels of wood In a dull and a bright finish. lilabnrnte Sleeve Drapery. A number of tailor-made costumes arc seen for tho dcmlscason; also skirts of gray, violet, green, beige or sablo cloth, worn with a corsago of silk or batiste, with Insertion of beading or loco nnd a decoraton of narrow velvet ribbon, mauve, rose, black or green. Braided costumes of mohair arc also seen.

Trulnlim School for HniMekennlnr. A number of philanthropic, clear headed and warm-hearted women have started an idea which has in It the merit of good sense and the elements of comfort and correct management for many households. Training schools for domestic serv ants hae been a pet project with philanthropists for many years, but unfortunately they have not uirncd out well, and have been temporarily abandoned by their sponsors, who gave them up, not permanently, but only for tho tlmo being, or until some more favorable conditions presented themselves. It may be questioned If such an In stitution will o.-er become popular or self-sustaining. There are many ar guments against Us success, and many reasons' why It has no good grounds for hope of a loug-contluued existence. And the strongest arguments against it aro tho nature, education and hr.b It3 of the class for whose instruction and benefit it is designed and main tained. Families whose daughters are likely to go into domestic service rarely hae money to spare to pay for educating them in household matters, even if they wero willing to admit that the girls who hud been taught under their own eyes were susceptible of any Im provement. An amusing incident In this line is related of a woman whooe house wait noted throughout tho community as the most badly-managed aud ill-kept of any dwelling In tho place. A lad? Si -MSB W?SWW-$ In tho neighborhood was In need of a good servant, nnd this woman went to sco about getting tho ploco for ono of her daughters. After somo prelimi naries, tho lady asked what experienco tho girl had had and where she had learned housekeeping. With the dig nity of a duchess, tho mother of tho would-bo employe drew herself up and answered, "She Is a thorough house keeper, madam. I taught her myself." All Ahout tho Ilotiftn (lonn, Nothing Is so suggcstlvo of feminin ity as tho house gown, with its sofl laces, dainty colors nnd long lines of graco and beauty. Particularly Is this true of tho house gowns of this Benson. They havo trains, of course, mado from striped or brocaded silk, tho former to bo had at such rcasonablo prices just now. Tho front of tho skirt should always bo left open to reveal a fine petticoat beneath. This may bo of chiffon, fine lace, mous sellno do sole or somo dainty, soft silk. Ono pretty gown had a skirt of pale yellow silk, through which a dellcato old roso pattern was traced. In front tho skirt opened over pnlo-blue chiffon.. Tho bodlco of yellow silk was almost entirely concealed by a fichu of the chiffon. Another gown Introduced the black and white fad of the hour. It had: A laco petticoat, triply flounced; a black and whlto striped silk skirt, with train; waist of the same material with corselet belt of black velvet; black velvet upper sleeves, arranged in numberless puffs; lower sleeves of the striped silk tucked to fit the arm and around the neck a white fichu edged with lace.

Lovely velvet garniture shows black dots on a white ground, with a circle of faint yellow around each dot.

An entirely new fad is being cher ished by fashionable dressmakers that of cutting evening bodices squure in front and high In back, with a collar a la Stuart, and of having the sleeves come down well over the wrists. Htllotrope cloth, with brown fur trimmings, is ideal for a church cos tume.
