Si'Kt\<i I’am iks.-—L onger skirts, drap¬ 
ing. printed fabrics anti long sleeves, 
with a higher neck line, are among pre¬ 
vailing modes. Printed crepe de chine 
and printed foulard often show rather 
old-fashioned calico patterns in (lowers 
and geometrical designs. IThieess blue, 
periwinkle and orchid shades, and bright 
yellows make the streets of New York 
very gav. Peri winkle blue, which has 
the bright lavender tinge of the blossoms 
now appearing on the periwinkle or (rail¬ 
ing myrtle, is extraordinarily popular, 
especially in straw hats. There are many 
tweed suits in bright colors—orchid, rose, 
turquoise, henna and old gold—some 
consisting of a skirt 
and coat, some of one- 
piece dress and cape.

Print.—I n the first 
picture the child at 
the left wears a dress 
of English print. The 
material had a fawn 
ground with a close 
pattern of bright blue wlmwA 
with a touch of yel- • I y 
low. The dress was a jr s' / 
plain kimono - shaped 
smock, and was 
trimmed around neck - 
and sleeves with points k- : 
of bright yellow per- l 
cale. These points 
were folded, like the 
trimming often used til-* 
on aprons. Instead 
of the usual bloomers, 
this dress had straight 
narrow drawers of *—— -j 1 /

below the dress. This 
dress was seen in a 
high-priced shop, but

quaint and pretty. 
Fastening ail the way down the back, it 
can be opened flat for ironing, and the 
drawers take the place of petticoats and 
other underwear. Modern fashions are 
really lessening work in this case. An¬ 
other dress of this style was mingled 
green and white, trimmed with rose pink 
points. 
The Nkw Draping. —The figure at the 
right shows (lie new hip drapery that :s

folded over at the side, so as (a* give an 
irregular hem line. It is then wrinkled 
across the front and caught in three flat 
horizontal pleats at the left side. Some 
of the skirts are draped up quite high at 
one side. The long waisted bodice is en¬ 
tirely plain: the flowing sleeve, with a 
band of bead¬ 
ing all the way 
down from the w 
neck, is held 
by a tight cuff \

1'rintep Foulard.- In the second pic¬ 
ture, the figure at the right shows a model 
in printed foulard, a silver gray hack* 
ground figured in black and red. It is a 
simple waist and skirt, but prettily trim¬ 
med by applied bands of the material go¬ 
ing around the neck, down the waist and 
skirt. The hands around the neck and 
down the waist are out all ill one. These 
bands were finished at both sides with 
red beads, put on close together. This 
style would be very pretty for a figured 
voile dress, while a simple flowered dim¬ 
ity could be made in this way, with 
French knots instead of beads.

“Kind Words Can Never Die” 
I was pleasantly surprised to read the 
article by Mrs. Henry in The It. N.-Y. 
advocating saying the agreeable things 
about, our life companion instead of mak¬ 
ing public his faults. T know from ob¬ 
servation wives are more likely to do the 
latter than their husbands are. Why, I 
cannot say, unless the man, having the 
privilege of choosing his life companion* 
does not like to have it. known that he 
has—or thinks he has—made a poor 
choice. Hut both husbands and wives 
have their faults; none is infallible, and 
it is too apt to be as the poet says: 
“We have kind words for the stranger, 
And smiles for the sometime guest; 
Bui for our own the bitter tone. 
Though we love our own the best.”
