more. With the ra Jjrlty of
thin its the faults are more Im
mediately evident than the virtues, hut
here mil there, along with the heip of
pcrc robblsh, the find beautiful Is often
come across.
As an example of the sort of thing that
the bargain hunter mar expert upon a
bargain counter, here Is a genuine story:
"Where did I get my wonderful Iucj
stock?" said the woman. "Why, I made It
out of a sleeve which once had graced a
lace jacket. Tern out by the roots, ho to
speak. I found It on a pile of tumbled
ribbons. Where the body had vanished to
I could not find out; the clerk was in utter
Ignorance."
The observant buyer knows that frag
ment of a most unexpected nature cm
always be bought sn.l she who is versed In
the art of clothes ran instantly determine
to what use ttey can be put, and even
while her less fort unite sister Is puszl n ;
over them she triumphantly carries off the
trophies.
At this season of the yeir there are some
good things in the shape of bargains to
look out fon linen and cheviot shirt waists
la uncut lengths. lawn underwear, skeleton
braid corsets, mercerized cotton petticoats
and flower hats. The reason being far ad
vanced these articles are much reduced In
price, but all will be useful for still Home
time to come. And to have a foundut o-t
for a new summer wardrobe Is a com' or t
worth what may Beem at the moment un
necessary outlay.
More potent in their appeals than any of
the other cheapened things arc the white
linen shirtwaists, superbly embroidered,
but almost pot-black with soil. Theae any
good French laundress could restore to
pristine freshness, and for-the sum of $J.50
the owner Is provided with a waist valued
nt four and even live or fix times that sum
at the beginning of the season. In 3 un
made shirt lengths are cheaper than the
made waists, no matter how soiled the lat
ter may be, and $1.25 will now purchase
stunning patterns in cheviot. Klack figures
on a white ground are preferable to col rs,
and the bishop stock wurn with the waist
will be more effective If It likewise shows
a touch of bluck.
Innumerable styles are now seen In these
convenient and smtrt accessories, which,
with their attendant ruffs, are much
cheaper than formerly. Made In the sheer
est materials, with ornamental stltcherlos
of all descriptions, these dainty turn-over
collars are highly decorative. When a
white one has a colored lawn edge and col
ored embroideries it Is sometimes worn
with a waist In the same tint. A scheme
of this sort in violet, pale blue, yellow or
rose pink is very charming, especially If
the eklrt Is of white linen or pique.
The cotton kimonos are wonderful aids to
cleanliness and summer comfort. Borne
really effective designs sell for no more
than 9ft cents. One calico ktmona with
huge red balls on a white ground and with
a plain red border band looked exceptionally
pretty. Other good styles were In plain and
figured lawns with contrasting borders, the
children's kltnonas following the grown-up
styles with the exception of being some
times belted In at the back. Such wrappers
wash more easily than those In more com
plicated designs, and the lawns and calicos
are always to be preferred to the printed
crepes. These stuffs Imitate the Japanese
textures and ure Invariably skimpily made,
whereas those In domestic textures are
ample enough for grace.
Among the trained and dressy effects
there are some becoming wrappers In
penrh-blnw pink batiste with white Swiss
collars and cuffs. A simple point d't sprit
lace edges these details, and a pretty wash
rlblMin in the pink of the gown belts it
Into the waist. Originally SIS snd $18, these
gowns are now reducedl to 17.50, with no
visible defect beyond a slightly tumbled p
pcara nee.
Very good bargains can sometimes be
found In dresses of a diaphanous descrip
tion, pale In color and trimmed with lace
and ribbon. One of these discovered In a
prominent shop, was a veritable Jewel. It
displayed that touch of coquettish sim
plicity which Is valued by fashion above
coronets. The materials had no little to
do with this, being themselves of a dainty
modesty. Plain cream while net, pompa
dour moussellne pale pink and blue In
a delicate and tiny mottling and black
bebo ribbon were the component parts,
first, there seemed to be an entire dress
of the net, over which the silk muslin
was appllqued on with barret te trimmings
of the velvet. Velvet edged frills of the
net finished the Imttom of the skirt, and
through the velvet barred bodice yoke and
long, tight sleeves came a mellowed sug
gestion of pure white. This mellowing was
due to the fact that the lawn lining was
of the thinnest description.
Kven better bargains than this gown,
which la only suited to the dressiest wear,
are the shirtwaist frocks of satin foulard
to be found In all the good stores. Madn
with fagotted or lace seams, tucked, shirred
or merely stitched, these durable and
luminous textures nre as dressy as prac
ticable. One drawback to the usefulness
of the smartest models Is that the white
background predominates over the bark
or colored figuring so that the dress soon
nppcars soiled. The tiniest pin point dots
In black compose the pattern, with the
seam fagotting also white. For the resit
the frock Is severely plain. The skirt dis
plays at most a shaped flounce at the back
and Hide breadths the front one being
without It ud perhaps a little tucking at
the hips. The bodice Is of a definite shirt-

Waaal Preferably the drawer should
be a deep one In the pantry or kitchen .
Closet, easy to access and sworn to picnic
purposes alone.
In It there should be a package of Jap
anese napkins, a ban of cord, several sheets
of para Cine paper, a box of corks of vari
ous sizes, ditto bottles suited for mayon
naise, vinegar, milk, lemonade, olives, pick
les, coffee, and a pile of good, smojth
wrapping paper and paper bags.
Here also should be a picnic salt and
pepper shaker, a box of wooden tooth
picks for skewering deviled eggs In shape,
two or three jelly glasses with tight covers
that screw on, a pile of paper or wooden
plates of varying sixes and picnic cup3 of
the light German ware, selecting thoje with
handles.
One or two tin baking powder cans, with
overs, will prove convenient, and there
must be a corkscrew, a can opener and all
the nice, clean bo n bo if or shoe boxes that
can be obtained. A couple of small table
cloths, retired from active servico, will
often come In handy, as well as an old
crash towel, if the picnic is to be an all
day affair.
A half dozen steel knives and forks and
as many plated spoons complete the neces
sary outfit for this drawer, but an annex
should be provided In one corner of the
pantry or store-room closet close by. Here
a few emergency rations that won't spoil
should be kept on hand a tin box of bis
cuit, a Jar or t of potted meats, one of
Ochovy, a can of sardines, a pot of
cheese, with a little ale or brandy added
to give it ripeness and smoothness; a glass
of Jelly, a bottle of pickles and one of
olives. Here, too, may be tablets of choco
late and a bottle of grape or lime Juice.
If this plan Is followed, when the boys
elect to go swimming right after school
and take their aupper, or the young people
propose a row on the lake with a picnic
aupper to follow, there will always bo
something ready to fall back on. even
though both the kitchen fire and cook are
out and the corner grocery Is closed.
As for the picnic basket, which must
hang near enough to hobnob with the
drawer, that depends. Although there are
delightful little English hampers, with
places for the dihe-. the knives and forks,
the flasks and the tea outfit, caddy and all,
their price militates against gemral i:s -.
For the folk who frequently picric en fam
ine the stout German baskets w.th two
covers opening back from the middle will
be found admirable, while luncheon for
two or three is most easily packed in one
of the Japanese wicker satchels built on
the same lines as the old-fashioned carpet
bag, bulging at the bottom and narrowing
at the top. In small sixes these come as
low as 3v cents, running from that up to
tt cents, according to slse.
With a waiting basket, an emergency
shelf and picnic drawer always ready to
dxaw upon, "putting up" lunch ceases to be
N
Mil
the bugaboo so commonly dreaded and be
wailed. g
EVER has there been a time when
the woman who goes out to
"shop" or to amuse herself wu
as well treated as the present.
Her commercial value la recog
nised and everything is done to make her
as comfortable as possible. That this Is
but a recent Innovation may be seen by
the different arrangements In the old and
new shops. In the latter she shopped and
left. In the modern shops every effort Is
made to induce her to linger. There are
larfce and luxurious parlors where she can
rest, lie down If she likes, or write her
letters on stationery engraved with the
name of the firm.
It Is not only because women have been
remiss In the care of their shoes that shoe
blacking chairs have been put into many
of the shops. If the shoes milady wears
have been purchased In that place, she can
liave them polished free of charge. If not,
she will have to pay 6 cents, and a pretty
little colored girl gives them a shine she
can see her face in.
In one shop there Is a patent weighing
machine In the dressing room. Milady puts
a penny In the slot and her weight, printed
on a card, comes out to her through an
other opening. In the same room there
are electric curling irons with which she
can arrange her disheveled locks.
One large shop has a big wheeled chair.
If a customer anywhere In the establish
ment la suddenly taken 111 the chair Is
taken to her. She Is carried in It to the
dressing room, where a comfortable couch
and an attentive maid await her.
If the woman wishes to Invest In tea she
goes to a big Oriental shop. There is the
prettiest little tea room Imaginable. She
can call for a cup of Oo'ong, orange pekoe,
Kngllsh breakfast or any desired variety.
It Is served In dainty cups, with a plate of
fancy biscuits, and all at a nominal price.
Milady frequently makes this her only
luncheon, if she Is absorbed in shopping.
Indeed, the place is so attractive that a
stray man Is often seen sipping his after
noon tea with keen appreciation. Prob
ably he is a habitue of the place. The
comforts offered to women shoppers are
evidently to his taste.
After her tea the woman may retire to
a shaded parlor, furnished in wicker, with
blue rugs and hangings, and blue Canton
china for decoration. Resting In a reclin
ing chair she will consider how she may
furnish her country home In a simltarly
cool and Inexpensive way.
Theaters now have parlors for women
where all the toilet requisites may be
found not omitting the powder pot. Sim
ilar conveniences may be found In the big
hotels where women drop in for luncheon.
In one much patronised by women a spe
cial parlor has recently been arranged. It
has couches, easy chairs and a desk, and
the private elevator to It Is run by a
woman.
Kven the babies arc considered In the
general attention paid to the comfort of
women. A popularly priced theater has a
nursery. Mothers may attend the dally
matinee and leave their babies asleep In
neat little beds, under the charge of the
attendant nurse.
Frills of Fashion
Pretty little knitted shawls shaped to the
shoulders are shown In all the pastel
colorings.
It Is predicted that next season a popular
combination In Jewelry will be royal copper
and French gray silver.
Umbrella handles in magnolia are among
the novelties. The wood Is polished and set
off with mounting of gold.
Beaded robes are promised considerable
vogue next fall. Jet, iridescent and opa
lescent effects will alike be favored.
The Brittany hat is a well liked model.
In shape it is perfectly round, sloping down
slightly in front and deep in the hack, with
the crown in the form of a low bowl.
A color that is very popular Is green and
there is the new foliuge green, which Is a
little lighter than leaf green. It goes well
with blue, as so many greens do. And It Is
used by itself in the making up of yachting
costumes.
The dressiest accompaniment for the white
shirt waist suit Is the belt of white kid. .
The kid has the softness of a tine glove, and
the belt, which is three to Ave Inches high.
Is hemmed at the edges und lined with
taffeta or muslin.
Tho summer girl's trunk must cotatn a
suit of deep blue, and It must contain a sea
green suit, also one of u deeper green,
called shamrock. Then, too, she could have
an ocean gray suit and one of grass lawn
for evening and u pretty shell pink suit for
afternoons.
Lavender la one of the coolest colors that
can be worn in the summer. A pretty sep
arate waist made in lawn of this color has
a yoke in rather wldu tucks, a slock set
with deep cream lace, and long tie ends,
finished with the lace. A band of lace is
set into the wristbands.
For and About Women
The resilient physician at the Royal Free
hospital, London, is Miss K. Chamberlain,
niece of the British colonial secretary.
Two women were among the students re
ceiving the degree of Ph. L. at Columbia
university this year.
At her own request Miss IVssie Johnson,
daughter of Mayor Johnson cf Cleveland,
O., has been commissioned as an official
mother In the Juvenile court.
Miss Marshall Kl.sc r Is sugar inspector for
a sugar company of Hawaii. She studied
chemistry at the l,exlngton State college
and under lrof. John I'rt l.loyd, snd is a
member of the American Chemical associa
tion. Taking tare of drawing ruomn lo private
residencts is the way one woman earns a
living. She gies from house lo house every

berlaJn, wife of the British colonial secre

year for a protracted visit with her rela

waist cut und make, und a iiurrow foulard
belt with a tailored finish girdles It neatly.
Such gowns are now reduced to half their
former price, and for HI. 60 a black und
white charmer In the approved pin dots can
be found. When the occasion admits, this
should be decked with a white Swiss
collar and cuffs and a pale blue ribbon'
sti.ck and belt. This makes a got-up of un
common dressiness.
liy the end of July ail short lengths in
wash textures, suitable for children's
dresses, are very cheap, as are also tho
Hamburg embroideries and wash braids
used fur trimming them. The made-up
frocks themselves aro also at this ttmo very
Inexpensive, and so wonderfully good ure
some of the models that one wonders why
a weary mother ever sets herself to the
task of sewing. Pretty long-bodied frocks
In blue and pink gingham and chambray,
with white braid trimmings, can be had for
98 cents. Suits In white drill and novel
cotton of many sorts, for baby boys, go
for even less, while the wash suit of tho
bigger boy seems sometimes almost given
away.
Put this statement holds good only with
the things ordinarily Inexpensive and In the
conventional designs. All chklren's gar
ments of first-class make and novel design,
when In good condition, hold their price up
to the end of a season. When the grown-up
market will show a fall In every other
direction, the price of a distinguished
looking fresh piece of millinery rarely
tumbles. The exception to this rule la with

green leaves, which uro going for u song.

long since been taken, of course, but so mo

leaves and while berries, present highly
desirable features. Black and whito head
gear is always fetching and becoming, and
such hats are usually dearer than those
In color. The black hats now worn partake
of an airy tendency, weh-llke straws und
tulle trimmings being used for them. Huge
ostrich feathers go with these fragile ef
fects. One of them will often spread flatly
across a crown with the fluffy tip curling
under the side or bark of the brim. This
Is less wide at the front than the sides.
This makes them more becoming thaa the

More plain straw sailor hats are observed
than last summer, but the shape of such
hats Is not greatly altered. A medium
high crown and a fairly brim Is the popular
model. It costs 15 nt the man hatter s.
Similar shapes In almost as good straws
may be bought In the department stores
at less than half that price.
