Those who apeak a ixl drees from the fullneaa of exact knowl edge on aartoTlal tnattere and a fell equip ped purse hold out for the rich cheese yel low Irish crochet lace, or batiste lace of the same tone where a blouse la concerned. The lace . should be dropped on. a white lining that la, of course, separated from Its top layer of splendor by a single thickness of bruksels net or some auch approved third material. Many women have a liking for the faintly colored linings and adopt a A TYPICAL orat and whits tinted velvet ribbon for the threading pur pose. Now a vary smart, pretty and un usual waist of laco la sketched solas Just to lucldaU this point. A Lsvee Blows.

The chiffon cornea forward on I the bust to form a full rest and la drawn Into a high collar and a broad blaa atrip of golden green panne and pulled through the yeleta embroidered down the batiste fronts. There la lota of novelty In this waist, and what recommends these loose lace blouses la their adaptability to luncheon and after noon at bom and theater costumes, when helped ' out by a plain velvet or corduroy skirt. Of course, all waists are not made of lace, but tbera are mighty few exceptions to the rule in favor of loading all odd blouaea with as much tape aa' they can carry. . Look, for instance, at the group of three dear delights, meant for wear with nice, simple light or dark skirts and on nearly any and all occasions. The waist In the center is made wholly of laoe, coarse yellow braid lace. Into which patterns are worked with narrow black velvet ribbon.

To tb right a lit tle lac and a short length of pretty atem greea taffata aoyeuse haa created a thing of beauty that will be of us for many a long day.

Haw Foelard Gowns. How wondrously gray the new foulard gowns are! This spring the manufactur er have sought to revive good with fancy borders, and oddly enough the broad bord ered foulard haa led all the rest. Where the silk weavers showed their unusual good sense waa in making the border very wide and giving it a ribbon effect. Hordes of foulards or peau de printempa, aa one va riety of this ailk la called, are turned out. boasting absolutely no other decoration than their rwn aprlghtly borders used with kill and good aenae. One way to treat a border la suggested by the spectacle of a house gown for after noon wear sketched a It owner wore it. A most satisfactory Canton blue and pur porcelain white waa the color scheme of the foulard Itself. The border to this had evidently been wide and was moat cheerfully Imprinted in great bouquets of pink roses rfnd pal yellow guelder roaea. The thoughtful and artistlo dressmaker ELBOW-SLEEVED BODICE, THREADED WITH VELVET RIBBON. treated the skirt In clusters ot close m pinched tucka running In deep Vandykea. At the foot ahe set on the border in a snapea nower effect and of the border ahe also made a little shorter tailed dlraotnr Jacket effect for the waist. Her triumph was unquestioned ana not a acrap or lace had ahe used. So many of the new dresses arc made flat and even cut out a little In the neck that the question of collars and their height and usefulness Is being gently agi tated in fitting rooms. Flat necks anl open necka are assuredly most comforta ble and to some women this trvln mods la almost becoming, but they are In the dis pensing minority, and collars of choking helgnt will probably finish the necka of aine-ienms 01 me best spring suits.

IS TUB PARLOR DOOMED! Th Venerable Beat Room Beeomlag m Back Xiaber. "And is it true? Is the parlor doomed? Must it give way to tb living room? That apartment cannot make good the loss of the other. Who does not remember," says the Springfield Republican, "the darkened glorlaa of the old-tasbloned parlor, which waa seen at it best in the mlddle-aised town, village and country? Shut up the week through, sometimes nearly the year through, with blinds closed tight and lace curtain tied primly back; with lta balr-cloth-seated chairs aet In a line agalnat the wall; a 'rocker ready to gallop in one corner, and a what not in the other, orna mented with rice baskets, praying Samuels, and family daguerreotypes and photo graphs; a center-table aet exactly in the middle of the room with a few handsome books and the large family ablble. the mantelpiece with vasea filled with crystal lied grasaea at either end, and odda and enda of atrange thlnga fitting up the ret of the apace who among the elder genera tion doea not know It wellt It waa a room to be venerated.

It is indeed a living room. If one has apace, there la a reception room, to be aura, but everyone understands that amounts to little the caller and the friend are shown Into the living room. To a person used to a parlor, no matter how long ago, a call in a living room hardly seem like the solemn function It used to be. "Very likely the change la for the better. but It is a revolution.

Up to a ahort time ago he waa in the enjoyment ot single blessed ness, relatea the Chicago Chronicle, but he waa not satisfied. He wanted a wife to share hla Joys and divide his sorrows. None of the young women of his vicinity auited hla fancy and ao vi applied to a matrimonial agency in Chicago for one who should meet hla requlrementa. She waa found and proved to be fair, fat and forty-nine, a widow who understood house hold carea and would look after the com fort of himself and children. He forwarded a letter and ahe replied at once, giving her address aa Emma Harden, with her home In Harrison street The minister continued the correspond ence and after a few week she consented to marriage, provlck'l ne cam to Chicago aftar bar.

Then he left for Chicago and after the marriage he re turned to Indiana with his bride. For a wsek all was contentment, and then clouda began to gather. The wife wanted to lease the farm and shs wanted to do thla and to do that, In direct opposi tion to his Quaker principles, and finally she left and he returned to hla deaerted home, a aadder and wiser man. Tha trouble Is best explained by an interview which a reporter had with Mr. Wblttig. Whsn the newspaper representative asked him about the affair the mlnlater replied: "Yea,, ahe baa left me." . "What waa th trouble?" queried the re porter. The preacher shrugged hla shouldere and replied: "A good many things. First, she was a socialist, and that la next to being an anarchist. I aald aa much to her and then we had trouble. Then she wanted me to aril the farm and move to Chicago, but 1 would not do that. Then she said if I waa not going to Chicago she was." "What next?" "I told her to go aa quickly as she de sired, aa we had had only one week of peaceful wedded Ilia. She demanded 1200 of me and aaid that ahe would go If I would i give It to her. I replied that I could not raise that amount of money and ahe kept on coming down until she agreed to take, 0 WAISTS FOR WEAR WITHLfQHT I borrowed th money and gave It to her and ahe left." "Didn't even bid you good-bye," Bug gested the reporter. "Ob, yes," he replied; "as ah left she turned to me and aatd: "You're a regular frost. My first husband gave me $50 when I left him and you are much richer than he." The bride promised never to return and bother the minister again, but he has de cided to aecure a divorce in order to pre vent her getting control of hla property. At present he la busy explaining the affair to membera of hi congregation and to his neighbors. Frill of Fashion.
