Prevailing outlines. — The long 
waist still continues, and many gowns 
are seen with a long basque, slightly 
pointed in front, with a fine piping where 
the skirt is seamed on. Where the skirt 
is narrow there is usually a tunic, ex¬ 
cepting in plain tailored suits. Skirts are 
rarely close around the hips, and many 
panier-like Spanish 
skirts are still short, 
nearer the shoe top

dress of dark blue twill. 'The 
quite long and plain, 
with three-quarter bell 
sleeves. This waist fas¬ 
tens over tit the left 
side, the only trimming 
being a long roll collar 
of heavy ecru linen fas¬ 
tened with a large fancy 
button. The waist was 
stitched flat to the skirt, 
which was quite plain 
except for four gores, 
two in front and two in 
back, which are filled in 
with little ruffles. Those 
ruffles are not gathered, 
but cut circular. We 
have seen several models 
with these trimmed 
gores, some ruffled and 
some filled in with braid 
or embroidery. The hat 
worn is a rather flat 
sailor of black satin, 
the brim covered with 
g 1 y o e r i n e d ostrich 
feathers. 
Henna Homespun.— 
The gown at the right 
is a rather loosely woven 
homespun in li e n n a 
color. It is a one-piece 
dress of the chemise 
type, with some invisi¬ 
ble fastenings down the 
left side of the pointed vest, so that it 
can be slipped easily over the head. This 
pointed vestee is of natural unbleached 
linen, with a row of little linen buttons. 
The vestee was outlined with a narrow 
flat braid of henna and black, and there 
were long pointed lapels on each side 
coming down to the waist. A narrow 
string girdle of the cloth went around the 
waist twice, tying in a knot at one side. 
Square patch pockets were trimmed with 
bands and buttons of the cloth. The 
sleeves are trimmed in the same way. 
This dress suggests a good style for heavy 
linen or crash ; it would be useful anil 
comfortable, and is plain enough to laun¬ 
der well. Gray or mulberry ramie linen 
with vest of natural linen would be very 
serviceable, and 
also smart. The 
hat shown is a 
mushroom shape 
with soft crown 
of jade green 
Georgette, with 
a little wreath 
of green and 
h e n n a flowers 
and foliage. The 
fringed s e a r f 
shown is green, 
black and henna 
fiber silk, with 
fringed ends: we 
see many hand¬ 
some striped silk 
scarfs with very 
gorgeous color 
combinations. 
Three Pret¬ 
ty Juveniles. 
—The three lit¬ 
tle d r e s s e s 
shown in the 
second picture 
were all of sand- 
colored crepe de 
chine, but the 
styles are so 
pretty and simple that they could be 
adapted for children’s wash dresses. The 
one at the left was accordion-pleated, 
both waist and skirt, the waist blousing 
over the sash. Sash and collar formed 
the only trimming. The deep collar, with 
its four points, looked almost like a yoke. 
This was trimmed in each point with a 
bunch of grapes made of black ve.vet, 
each grape a little disk of black velvet 
stuffed so as t<> be slightly raised, while 
a leaf and tendrils were embroidered in 
The effect was very quaint 
The ends .of the sash were

trimming. Each of the four little panels 
was filled in with flowers and foliage em¬ 
broidered in bright colors. A child’s dress 
in cotton material made after this model 
would he very pretty with trimming of 
fancy cotton braid, medallion, rick-rack, 
or one of the other fancy styles. Of 
course the little panels of embroidery add 
very much to the charm of this frock. 
Uthbon Frills.—T he third dress, at 
the right, is perfectly plain and simple 
in style, merely a gathered skirt and 
bloused waist, but it was very prettily 
trimmed with narrow frills of shaded rib¬ 
bon, extending down from the shoulders, 
and curving at the lower end. This ribbon 
shaded from sand color to dark brown. 
Neck and sleeves were trimmed with the 
shirred ribbon also. This 
Style of trimming would 
be very pretty in plain 
satin ribbon on flowered 
or figured challie. 
Sewing Room Notes. 
-—Everyone knows how 
fine hemstitched towels 
wear out at the hem¬ 
stitching if the first 
little break is not 
promptly repaired. We 
have been repairing 
towels by cutting off 
the hem carefully, and 
inserting novelty braid 
in place of the hem¬ 
stitching. VVe now learn 
of another plan; the 
use of old-fashioned 
hairpin lace as the in¬ 
sertion. This seems a 
very good idea, and it 
could also be used to re¬ 
pair hemstitched table 
linen. 
Sashes were never so 
much worn as now; one 
sees them on all sorts 
of dresses, including the 
plain tailored ones. 
Among the new styles 
are knitted sashes of 
fiber silk, in vivid colors 
and effective stupes, 
deep fringe. We also see 
beads, finished with tns- 
sashes are seen from

A now color, or rather an old one re¬ 
vived, is bisque, a soft delicate neutral 
grayish sand with a pinkish tone. It is 
attractive and becoming, and is seen in 
blouses, neck ware, millinery and gowns. 
Georgette blouses for Spring in both 
tie-hack and regular models 'are trimmed 
with braiding and lace inlay more than 
with beads. Favored colors -are bisque, 
white, flesh, honeydew and gray. 
Practically every large shop is selling 
jersey cloth suits now at most amazing 
reductions—from around $13 to $1S. 
Some are not very good, but many of 
them are nice 
material, well 
tailored. Such 
a suit is a sen¬ 
sible purchase. 
Many business 
women find it 
desirable t o 
wear like a 
dress, with a 
t h i n vv a s h 
blouse, as a long 
coat may be 
worn over it in 
the W inter, 
while such a 
suit is very com¬ 
fortable for 
Spring and Fall, 
at the season 
a lined coat is 
a burden.

Another Simple Model. —The 
dress in the center was certainly 
plicity itself. It was all cut in one piece, 
kimono fashion, with round neck and 
short sleeves. The trimming was narrow 
ribbon, pul on in close little curves or 
waves, like braid, being sewn along one 
side, standing out. This trimming went 
around neck and sleeves, and there were 
two bands at llie bottom about four 
inches apart, divided at back, front and 
sides into panels by vertical bands of the

Materials used in new gowns are Can¬

STEWART ONE-PI PE Furnaces are 
now giving users the same dependable, satisfactory- 
service that STEWART Stoves and Ranges have been 
famous for since 1832. Back of this Furnace and built into it is the 
experience of eighty-nine years of successful stove and furnace manufact¬

can be depended upon absolutely for lifetime service and satisfaction. 
V'.‘ 
ONE-PIPE Furnaces are sized 
according to width across TOP of fire- 
pot, 20, 22, 24, etc. inches. In some makes 
the firepot tapers in, so that at grate the diameter 
is four or five inches LESS than top measure¬ 
ment. This makes its coal and consequently, 
its heating capacity MUCH LESS than the 
STEWART, whose firepot, built EXTRA 
HEAVY, varies only 2 inches in top and bottom 
measurement, as illustration shows. A 22-inch 
STEWART ONE-PIPE, for example, about 
equals in heating capacity a 24-inch furnace of 
other makes 
THE STEWART ONE- 
PIPE weighs from 100 to 300 
poundsMORE than other makesof Pipe¬ 
less Furnaces—and most of this EXTRA 
weight is in the Firepot and Grates where 
naturally the furnace has its hardest wear.

bars of which can easily be replaced when 
necessary. Also note large ashpit.
