Light-weight pique in nax'row wale is 
the favorite material for collars, cuffs 
and vestees with tailored suits. It laun- 
dei-s well, is inexpensive, and has enough 
weight to keep in place well, being 
more satisfactory in this respect than 
the starched linen.

No. 807. A design for embroidering a 
pillow or cushion top, 24 inches wide by 
Seen in New York Shops. 
O NE new r collar consists of a band of 
black ribbon velvet 1% inch high, 
with a two-inch knife pleating of lace 
or organdie at the top, giving the ef¬ 
fect of an Elizabethan ruff. The vel¬ 
vet is closed with snap fasteners, and 
there are thine small satin buttons over 
the closing. There are many collars 
made like Medici ruffs, standing up 
about four inches high at the back, and 
coming down to a V in front. 
Skirts are much shorter than they 
have been, and we are told they are to 
be worn a full eight inches from the 
ground. Such skirts are full, falling in 
ripples. A full skirt made very long is 
always a nuisance, and there will be 
much relief in having it clear the ground 
well all around. The new jacket suits 
with short full skirt and braided mili¬ 
tary coat are very jaunty and comfort¬ 
able. 
One of the high-class stores recently 
made a new departure in offeriug table¬ 
cloths, napkins, towels and toweling of 
cotton or cotton and linen mixed. Such 
materials have of course been on the 
market for some time, chiefly in stores 
catering especially to people of small 
means; undoubtedly they have often been 
sold as linen. These fabrics are- now 
mercerized in imitation of linen, and are 
greatly improved in quality, so that they 
are highly recommended for their wear¬ 
ing qualities. Flax has increased great¬ 
ly in price, and is likely to increase still 
further, so this is a good time to help 
our own cotton growers. The sellers 
claim that mercerized cotton, or cotton 
and linen mixed, will give better wear 
and more satisfaction than a poor grade 
of all-linen. Prices are very moderate; 
tablecloths from S5 cents to $1.75; nap¬ 
kins 75 cents to $1.50 a dozen; towels 
60 cents to $1.50 a dozen ; towels of cot¬ 
ton and linen mixed $2 to $3 a dozen; 
mercerized cotton damask, 30 to 55 
cents a yard. 
A very smart blouse to be worn with 
a black tailored suit was of flesh-col¬ 
ored chiffon, with a bolero of black 
chiffon bound with black silk braid and 
having black lace insets. 
Many serge and broadcloth one-piece 
dresses are embroidered in self-colored 
bead work, one color only; email beads 
are put on in a pattern like braiding. 
An example was a long-waisted moven- 
age dress of dark blue serge, having a 
girdle of dark blue beads applied to the 
material, with further beading on cuffs 
and collar opening; the collar of white 
silk was high and close at the back, and 
open in front 
Heavy corded gros-grain ribbon, like 
that used for the bands on men’s hats, 
is much in vogue for women’s velvet 
hats; it is put on in masculine fashion, 
with a small flat bow at the side. A 
hat of this style often has small wings 
or fan-shaped feather ornaments put at 
a jaunty angle at one side of the top of 
the crown. 
Colored handkerchiefs are again seen 
in all sorts of shades, red, blue, green, 
purple, orange or wood bi-own. They are 
of extremely fine linen, with a quarter- 
inch hem and an initial embroidered in 
a darker shade. Some have a border of 
white net footing, put on quite full. 
American-made kid gloves are among 
specialties offered by one big firm, which 
handles foreign gloves largely, but states 
that those of domestic manufacture are 
better than those from abroad at the 
Saving Labor on Washday. 
T RY for once this way of disposing of 
the weekly washing, and see if you 
like the plan. Put a lot of cold water 
and dissolved soap-powder or soap into 
the boiler, and immerse thei*ein as many 
of your white clothes as you care to at 
once. If there are any especially soiled 
white pieces put them to soak in cold 
water until such time as the boiler is 
ready for them. Then form a nice suds 
in the tub and wash and rinse the dainti¬ 
est of the colored clothes as quickly as 
possible, then darker and more soiled 
pieces. If you have a good fire the first 
white clothes are usually ready by this 
time, and you can slide right ahead to 
the end of the job. It is so restful not 
to have a lot of soiled stockings for the 
last!_ a. d.
