NHW YOIIK , Juno 1. ( Special. ) H only
AVattcau wcto allvo now what adorable pic
tures lie would make or the new garden
party woman !
The notjlo ladles to drew capering over
lawna or minding sheep In itllt gold 'brold-
crcd silks were all charming enough hi their
way ; but they are not a "patch" on her who
strolls among the trees and teacups nowa
days , looking correctly borcJ , and us Indiffer
ent to the welfare of her gauzy frock , as It
Us prlco might be estimated In modest cents
Instead of solid dollars. For though the
diaphanous costumes modish women arc wearIng -
Ing liavo a sweetly clmple air II is a simpli
city that deceives.
Swiss , organdie , mull and plain figure ] and
flatted mnslln arc the materials used , but the
fun of the thin lawn-party gown comes In
with the accessories , which Include silk lin
ings , and , as a rule , fragile flower parasols
ant sucli trifles as glovas , hats and shoes
that can only be of the most elegant descrip
tion , and Immaculately fresh.
When It comes to trimmings for the gown
Itoolf , the charm of which likewise lies
mainly In dainty newness It seems generally
agreed that you may be much trimmed , or
not trimmed at all , and still bo fashionable
and expensive.
NEW TINTS AND TONES.
All the new thin textiles arc very lovely.
The organdies are both plain anj sprigged ,
thrco of the plain ones , n pale flame , a gilt *
terlng canary yellow and a faint dull green ,
being especially beautiful.
An effective figured design has a graywhlte
background strewed with ghaitly pinks , In a
curious dull rod , with long stalks and green
leaves. And this pattern , which happened
to bo madu up , was curiously enough , com
bined with taffeta ribbon In a bold black
anil white check ; the skirt was decorated
with five prim little rutlics , each one oJgcd
with thin white French lace , the chucked
ribbon forming a stock collar , great shoulder
knots and a belt with long ends to the round
bodice.
Decides the check , black and1 white striped
' 1 TWO OnGANDV GOWN S
ribbon Is also used for the collars and bells
of the floured organdies and muslins , and
though not- especially dressy , against the gay
tints the effect of It U very stylish.
When combined with Swlis < ho ribbon Is
usually flowered and In delicate china tones ,
and not uncommonly with this material , cam
bric or lawn embroidery and yellow valen-
clomies lace will bo employed as well.
The embroidery , generally In the form of
cntro deux , Is let In the Swiss , and Is edged
each side with tiny ruches of the laco. The
ribbons may bo resetted or twisted Into
great flyaway bpws , and sometimes there
will bo braces that seem to bold the skirt
up over the shoulders ; and these may end
nt the waist In rosettes or else have long
sash ends that fall almost to the bottom of
the skirt.
Ono adorable organdlo gown lately seen
bad the taffeta ribbon put on In a unique
fashion. The organdie was a pale apple
green , and the gored skirt had a deep
crimped flounce headed at Intervals by vast
rosettes In cream vclenclennos lace ; from
these the ribbon , npplo green flowered with
pink wild roses , looped up In garlands , and
With this adorable Jupo o sort of Marie
Antoinette fichu In cream slllc mull elabor
ately trimmed with the lace was worn. The
flchu was BO largo that It came well down
over the shoulders , showing the bulge of the
sleeve low on the arm , floating streamers
of the ribbon being knotted at the bust with
the long scarf ends.
However , all the organdlos are not ribbon-
trimmed , as may bo seen here In the two
designs shown In the double-column picture.
Kltlier may bo accepted as a good model for
a modest garden party costume , and though
both are of a simplicity bordering on plain
ness , with silk linings and colors carefully
chosen , they can bo made very elegant.
BLKOANT cosruiing.
In the original the dainty toilet with the
flowered flounce , which Is made graceful by
being shorter In front than at the back , was
In yellow , the flowers of the figured.portion
tinging on brown.
The socoiid gown , Is of flame red organdlo
over black silk , with black footing let In and
a crush collar and belt with black bow of
( lame red velvet.
The beautiful dull green organdlo already
mentioned forms the plain portion of the
costume with the long , laccllkc panels on
the skirt. These panels , as well as the
bodice decorations , are of cream batiste
embroidery. The great square rovers over

sols that go with them may bo cither of
gauze and flowers , or clso of taffeta silk ,
with dnlnty striped or pompadonr borders.
The taffeta paranoia are appropriate tor both
plalnlsh and elaborate toilets , and are In
expensive as well as effective. Chine taf
feta silk Is also used Tor garden entertain
ments.
The alt-silk gown Is deep yellow sprayed
with corn flowers ; the vest Is ecru batiste
with a round yuko In alternate rows ot
tucks and embroidery.
I'alo gray , sprigged with Dresden pink ,
composes the last costume , which has an
effective over-drapery of gray silk mull and
further decorations of gray taffeta ribbon
edged with pink. Tim long buckle at th
waist Is Jet , the hat black gauze shirred over
a wire frame ; oboes and gloves , gray un-
dresse < l kid.
Another and very charming wayto * trim
taffeta and chine silk gowns Is to have large
collars and cults of ecru hat I to or yellow
Valenciennes Insertion let In between strips
of white silk mull.
The collars may Iw round , square or
pointed , but they Invariably spread out to
the shouldeis and sometimes beyond , giving
them an effect of extreme width. They are
the most elegant and effective of all the
bodice trimmings of the season , and since
they arc hand made and worth even more
tbau their weight In gold they may ba ac
cepted as the proper caper for your best
frock.
As to methods of making , the designs
shown will glvo a pretty fair Idea of now
dress cutting.
SMART SLKKVKS AND SKIRTS.
The best skirts measure at most six yards
round though five Is the average width , and
Imvc a front and two side gores and godctcd
back of from three to five pleats. These
may be Interlined with haircloth from hem
to belt , but the front and sides of the skirt
are only stiffened 'a ' few Inches at the bet
tom.
'Another model that Is used for silk skirts
Is an umbrella shape that fits closely about
the hips and ripples full at the feet.
Sleeves of diaphanous stuffs arc made In
short puffs ending slightly below tbs elbow ,
where they are finished with soft tied cuffs
and knots of ribbon. Those of the light
dressy silks nro made In the same way
are else long glgots with the full lee
upper portion banging limply.
Uodlces are out round with never the lor
sign of a tall , jjnd often they are slmr
gathered at the waist ( u the old baby bo
fashion. , , . , . , , ,
The newest way of making the thin te
tiles Is to have .them separate from the II
Ing , which for tuobodice , may ba high
low necked , and | n cither case come with
the scope of fashion and propriety.
For convenience sake , however , the 01
side skirt and lining skirt of the tbln go'
are sometimes attached to the same bat

The Only Way to free n Itoom of Di
with Uroom Covers nnd Cloth * .
To properly prepare a room for swoepl
Is as distinct an act In Itself as to swc
It afterwards. First provide yonrself w
several covers and dusters. A good s
broom , a small switch broom , a dustt
and a large box , or a new coal scuttle
which to put the refuse.
First have the right sort of dusters a
covers , the best are made of very chi
calico. Make each cover ot three bread
of calico , cut a trlflo over three yards lo :
sew them together and put a hem an ti
wide on either end. Do not use them 111
they have been washed and ironed. Jk
the dusters about a yard long of one brea ;
of the calico , and hem them at each e
These , with proper care , ought to last
years.
Carefully dust each piece of furniture
the room that Is light enough to move i
Into the hall or adjoiningroom. . Open I
window and shake out your duster very oft
Hold It well out of the window , so that i
dust may not blow back , ton In dust wo f :

shake them thoroughly out of the wind
and fold them and put them In a drawer
out of the room entirely. Next take I
mattresses off the bed you will prevlou
have folded and taken out all the bed clo
Ing and carry them Jnto the air and g
them a thorough brushing. Dust the sprlr
and wash the slats. Then put all back , a
cover the mattress with one of your lai
covers. Any little thing * that you have i
been able to put elsewhere can be then I
there. When you have put all that j
choose upon the bed then cover thorougi
again. Protect the lounge , large bureau a

It you \ave curtains shake them as w

Then open all your windows , move (

been fctandlng. If there U a fireplace in I
room , see that It U thoroughly clean , and
the ashes taken up before you begin to di

McnMiro ( Ironmls on Top ot Tenomrnt nn
AiMirlniont llouirm.
The all-Important question of how to kee
cool again presents Itself to the vast numbc
of people whose duties compel them to re
naln shut up In the city during the he
months.
A feasible plan In answer to this questloi
and ouo being more nnd more put Into prat
tee. Is the homo roof garden.
Nor need this sky garden bo such an e ?
> ensive luxury. If undertaken by a practlc ;
icrson of an economical turn of mind..Sue
an oasis In the midst of a dry and torrl
uetropolls can be arranged at a very sma
outlay.
The Idea Is particularly applicable to tli
small apartment houses , once private dw-cl
ngs , or the tenement house especially tli
letter class ot such.
The first consideration Is an Iron fence (
railing to Insure safety for the occupants. .
great many buildings are already provide
with sr.ch a protection.
Then the mould In which to plant tl
flowers and shrubs must be hoisted. Th
could bo accomplished very slowly by carr :
ing it up In palls or other receptacles , an
would furnish a goodly amount of amiisi
ment and occupation to the children of tl
house , If they were put at It In the rlgl
way with some grown-up person to gu de ar
Interest them In the enterprise.
Another quicker but mars expensive meal
would be lo raise the earth with a pulle ;
or an Ingenious Individual could devise son
homo-mado method of letting down a conve ;
ance of some sort attached to a rope , ai
raising It filled with dirt placed therein I
some ana stationed below.
When the earth on the roof Is an accor
pllshcd fact , It can bo put cither In boxer
or In beds bricked up far the purpose. Hoiif
soap or" starch boxes would cost nothin
unless a coat of dark green or red paint w
applied , which process would not be e
pensive.
Seeds of the various hardy annuals shou
then be sowed. These come In 1 ttle pac
cts , and If bought In a quantity from whol
sale seed growers can be had for a ve
small outlay , those of some of the prettle
blossoms ciistlns only a few pennies i
ounce. Tansies , nasturtiums , mlguonetl
common pinks , heliotrope , balsam , pctunl :
marigolds and a dozen others grow quick
from seed and are all lovely in thcmselvi
Geraniums , scarlet , white or pink , single
double , are very cheap and effective , and
amount of sun can injure them.
Hanging baskets , jars and pots filled wl
vines and creepers would be a pretty a
novel feature , every additional plant I
creasing the shade ot coolness.
The sowing ot the seeds and the care
the plants later would furnish endless j
and occupation to children of the house.
The beds or boxes could bs arrang
around the edge of the roof on all sides , a
there might be a largo center piece
plants.
Space must bo left for ono or more tab !
the rougher the better , but made firm a
fastened tightly down. Indeed , care shoi
have to be taken that every article w
hold In place , or some windy night possll
part of the belongings might capsize.
Uenches , rustic In design or simple wood
packing cases touched up. would form an 1
portant part of the stationary equlpme
and an owning of rough , cheap canvas woi
add greatly to the comfort nnd beauty of t
outdoor conservatory. Thla covering coi
bo tioJ on or taken off at will , and so
moved during windy or stormy weather.
As It would bo a haven of rest for I
weary man of the family , home from I
heat and turmoil of the day'd work. It woi
bo resorted to at night by them , when Ian
or lanterns could bo hung up , and the m
culluo element could smoke and take k
tea or other cool beverages there , or e\
have supper served under the awning on
i times , by way of a treat , while on Sunday
would bo a shady spot to rest In and r <
the paper or books when the little folks u
ally entrusted to the men of the family
the seventh day go for a walk.
And what a respite It would be for I
tired and overheated womankind of i
household to bring their sewing , or even
mount on high to this Inviting green s
and occasionally sit absolutely Idle tor
while.
It the ref garden was arranged on an apa
mcnt or tenement housa the expense co
bo shared by both landlord , and tenants , tl
reducing the Individual outlay to a sir
portion , and ono found well worth the coat
Then , If the householders are thrifty ,
the appointments , awnings , tables , bench
lamps and the rest , could be stored aw
for another season , when the charges coi
bo greatly lightened. Kvcn the flower sei
could be gathered , which process , apart fr >
tha economy of the scheme , would uffi
pleasure to the children , who dearly love
potter about and make themselves usel
especially under the supervision of some jt
grown up.
Such a garden could be made a verlta
playground for the chlUren. Hammoc
could be swung on frames and light swlr
for the little 'tots. They could have bo :
or piles of sand to dig In , could do alt I
watering of the flowers , and might even
taught dally lesions In plant life and i
velopment If an ordinarily Intelligent pen
would undertake the tail ; .
Such a tpot could be made very attract
and comfortable. Wooden couchea could
constructed upon which some soft coverl
could be spread and pillows piled up , thi
to be carried down at night or In I
weather. During some of the ecorchli
enervating spells of heat experienced 01
by the city-bound Inhabitant the dwellers
Inclined might pass oven the nights un :
the skies , for up so high the air U purer a
less heated , and every bit of greenery it
moist earth brings additional coolness.

A burnt almond Ice Is ono of the trlumi
of modern French cookery , Occaslona
one hears ot an American housewife who
Initiated Into It * mysteries. It Is ofl
served , by the way. at luncheon , when M
Gertrude Vanlcrbllt entertains her you
friends , as It happens to be a delicacy wb
she likes.
To be quite correct and altogether Fren
the Ice cream should bo served with
orange Ice. Such a dessert Is not dlfflc
to prepare , provided one li equipped w
two Ice cream freezers one In gallon s
for the creams and one In half-galton s
for the Ices. If only one freezer can
mustered , orange Jelly can very well
substituted for an orange Ice.
To make a burnt almond cream , blai
and chop fine four ounces of Jordan
monJs. Put three tablcspoonfuls ot gu
la a French frying pan. When the sol
melts , throw In the chopped almonds i
stir them till they are a red brown i
have absorbed all the sugar , Pound th
to a paste la a mortar , and add ilowlj
quart of rich cream , aud strain the mlxt
aud set aside.
Make a rich eu Urd with the yolk *

with a cup ot ingar and add to It slowly
tha quart of cream , flavored with the burnt
almonds. Turn the whole Into the freezing
can , which should be packed In salt and Ice ,
and freeze It till It Is firm , but creamy.
Make a division In the center of a melon
mold with a piece of pasteboard , and fill In
one-half with this cream and the other with
an orange Ico.
To make tills Ice. add the Juice ot two
lemons to two cups of rich flavored orange
Juice. Make a syrup by melting a cup and
a half of sugar Into a pint of boiling water ,
adding the yellow peel of three oranges
grated. Boll this syrup rapidly for twenty
minutes , then add the fruit Juice , and strain
the whole Into the Ice cream can and freeze
It , After the orange ilea Is packed In the
mold , withdraw the pasteboard divisions ,
cover the cream with a paper , put on the
tin cover and rub butter Ithlckly around the
rim of the cover to prevent the water and
call from penetrating. Ntiw Imbed the mod !

A Xovr nnil IVomtcrfivlly | Ch np .Method of
Obtnlnlnc n Portrait In OIM.
NEW YORK. Juno. ! : The fln-de-slecle
woman must have her -portrait painted. It Is
the correct thing to dbj and she Is unhappy
when her dearest fr cni has her painted
lineaments hung on the line at the spring
exhibition or the portrait show and she Is
not In It. It matters not whether she bo a
"rosebud , " all doubt and dimples , or a white-
haired grandmother , she must sit to the
artist most In demand and have herself re
produced on canvas.
American artists have progressed amaz
ingly In portraiture these last few years , no
one distancing Sargent , while Ilenjamln
Porter gets $3,000 for a full-length picture.
Daniel Huntlngton and William M. Chase
are also In the foremost ranks , while J.
Wells Champney Is popular among the
feminine votaries ot the smart set , confining
himself entirely to pastcli.
These exquisitely soft and pure productions
are eminently fitted for portraying the deli
cate benuty and expression of the fair sex ,
and the genial painter Is an enthusiast In hU
art. He worships at the shrine of La Tour
and Hosalba Carrlera. those famous flr&t
pastelllsts who have given us the old court
beauties of Louis XIV. and XV. times.
But Mr. Champney alms to be more than a
passing- vogue , he Is striving to become the
portrait pastellist of the age ; and with bis
natural gifts combined with his honest ,
studious work , gives every promise of ful
filling his desires. HJs portraits of Mrs.

ot accidents which often * become such terl
It adilr through neglect. Quro * , scaldi , c
ami bruises are of nearly dally occurrence
and their frequency as well as palntulncs
demands a llttlo forethought toward thel
alleviation.
The emergency drawer Is designed to fll
this need , It should bo stout and ctcady
with no tendency to stick fast when least ex
reeled , and well out ot r.cach of llttlo prylni
linger ? . It should also be located somewlier
In the kitchen , as oftentimes a wound I
neglected ratncr. than run upstairs for as
distance.
The remedies always on hand should b
carron oil ( cqiul parts of lime water and Un
seed oil ) , common baking foda , arnica ,
salve , anti-septic gauze , together with absorb
ent cotton , old linen , ctuosocloth bandage
and a pair of scissors. Carron oil U a cover

very good remedy , and In burns from ho
lard will often glvo relief much sooner thai
the oil. U Is use ! cither dry , or madu Int

Antiseptic gauze Is useful In case ot cut ;
After washing thoroughly to remove an
foreign substance , draw the edge ? firmly to
gpthcr aud cover neatly with the gauze
Salve Is 'for slight bifrns. etc. . and serve
merely to exclude the air from the lende
surface.
Absorbent cotton can , be u.'C.l . for burn
and scalds serious enough to need banting
Ing , and should bo kept In place by chcoeo
cloth bandages. These can be purchased b
the roll , but are easily made. A couple o
yards of cheesecloth are torn Into two-lne
lengthwise strips , and rolled up. Who
needed , cut off the desired length and ell
ono end up to within about six Inches of th
other end. This Is the physicians' mctho
of bandaging , and not only has the.advantag
of not slipping readily , but doei away wit
the unsightly cords most women tic over
