I LATE SPPR PARIS FASHIeNSI-D1SEAseN SrVl1ES HI VOGtIE

arc just at that rather dullWE midseason period in fash ¬

ions when the summer isalmost but not quite at an

end and the fall is almost but not quitebeginning Yet Paris is never Withoutideas even in the eddy of seasons andseveral new gowns have been shown inthe Bois that have attracted well meritedattention At this season too inone begins to gather from the generaigossip what the fall promises Ex-treme

¬

styles of the kind m whichand summer were fertile have passedout of vogue The fall shows a returnto the heavily draped and rather fullalthough dosefitting models of twentyto twentyfive years ago The black lacecape I show here is really a modemadaptation of the oldfashioned cir ¬

cular for instance How far we are toproceed along these lines I do not knowthe chances arc that after Red fern andPaquin have finished with their newmodels only those most gifted withimagination could trace the inspiration

Some of the gowns which I spoke ofabove I am showing you here They all

t of them are of the midseason variety-and can be worn up to the middle ofSeptember without discomfort

Transparent Black Wraps the Homonta TadParis women have taken up the

transparent black wrap with unusual en-thusiasm

¬

vcn for Paris These wrapsare of black net lace and chiffon andarc often elaborately embroidered withjet beads This graceful black chiffoncape falls from a shirred shoulder yokeof black velvet and over the chiffonfalls a netting of silver threads weighted-by velvet rosettes The cape is tre-mendously

¬

full at the bottom where itis weighted by an insertion of heavyYak lace

pale Blue Gown with Turquolio EmbroideryThe delicacy of this lovely costume-

can scarcely be realized from the illus ¬

tration which does not produce the col ¬

oring Over trailing slip of palebluecrepe de chine falls a tunic of whitelace and this lace tunic is weighteddown by the girdle of pearls and tur ¬

quoisecolored beads which hangs atone side A piece of this bluennd pearl embroidery hangs over thebodice of lace and the sleeves are ofblue chiffon and lace

Bleevelew Goats Smart If Not WarnThough the guy little sleeveless

wraps of lace are not the least protec-tion

¬

they are very charming over whitesummer frocks for afternoon wear Thislace coat is really made of four longpanels bound nt the edges with silk tomatch the frock it accompanies nndcaught together only under the armswhere the silk belt crosses Motifs ofheavy Irish crochet set into the stoleends give added richness to the coatThere arc no sleeves the armholes being edged with silk bands but thesleeves of the frock beneath arc made-of the same lace with tucked chiffoncuffs

Xvender Linen with Embossed TrimmingThe embroidery which trims this

simple yet pretty dress is dyed in thelavender shade of the linen Both coatand dress arc trimmed with this em-

broidcn¬

and also with the soutache-braiding followed with lines of heavystitching which produces a raised orembossed effect on the linen Around-the decolletage is a line of violet velvetand the violet note is repeated in velveton the hat which is of leghorn trimmed

f with wistaria The gloves arc thedainty Niagara embroidered sort withlavender embroideries on a selftoneground

FOR THE GIRL WHO WANTSI TO EARN

Possibilities of theWONDER if the girl who wantsI to make money has ever thought-of using the social and club sea-

son

¬

as a means of making extramoney Just now in big cities or insmaller you hear much of card clubsliterary clubs dancing parties afternoonteasthe whirl of the season is well bebun Let us study its possibilities wherethe girl with a is concerned

Every social and every club entertain-ment

¬

must have its touch of hospitality-in the way of refreshments Every hos-

tess¬

and every committee reach this pointwhere they would be glad to have certaindetails taken off their minds and handsThink of the opportunity this gives youin no matter what line your talent lies

How to Go About ItSuppose you live in a big oldfaih

ioned house the kind with center falland long double parlors or with onebig why do you not go rightinto the entertainment business Rentyour parlors to hostesses and clubs

Clear the rooms of superfluous furniture-and tint the walls a soft tintagainst which pretty gowns will be incolor harmony You can the wallsyourself to save expense but remember-

that certain strong colors will spoil th-

eO effect of certain other will

want to change the colors of your floral

decorations to suit seasons and occa ¬

sions and that is another reason wh

yOU must not have a background-Buy or rent folding cardtables and

chairs If ingenious you can manu-facture cardtables with boardfor the tops and broomhandles forlegs Cover the tops with muslin orfelt Invest a of your capital in

pretty inexpensive china if your ownchina closet will not supply enoughand do not forget the glassesThese arc always in demand and youcan doubtless rent them many timesover You can get very pretty platedforks and spoons in artistic patterns

Little by little you can add the naperyembroidering it with your monogram oryour favorite flower or if ou give yourparlors a name with the initial of thatSpecial parlors with the tableschairs and service for entertaining havebecome a need where space is scarce

TRANSPARENT BLACK WRAP-

The Frenchwoman Marco a Muff

The possibilities of coquetry in a muffarc fully appreciated by the Parisicnnewho dearly loves to pose with a hugefluffy muff in her hands and has hersummer muffs of chiffon and lace aswell as the warmer sorts for practicalwinter use This frock of pale mauvecachmcrc dc sole is matched bya hugemuff of the material trimmed with lacefrills and silk cord

Late summer always brings the prob-lem

¬

of the unlined gown To any butthe most slender figure a fitted liningis essential to shapeliness et we hesi ¬

tate to put a permanent lining into agown that is to be laundered Thescamfitted corsetcover either alone orin one of the sheath combinations solvesthe question so far as the waist is con-cerned

¬

Its use avoids the necessityfor bust supporters and the several cor¬

setaccessories of this kind that mean ¬

ing additional clothing arc none toowelcome in very warm weather

The plain corsetcover may be relievedfrom absolute severity by the judicious-use of trimming which should never beelaborate however The disclosurethrough a sheer waist of an overtrimmed corsetcover and large corsetbow of colored ribbon that had a certainvogue last summer is in questionabletasteto criticse it even mildly A

Renting Rooms

Large parlors with little furniture are-a pretty good asset for any girl to haveThere arc many times when she can rentthemto the kindergarten teacher forrehearsals for readings recitals anddemonstrations of women lecturersMothers would rather have their sonsand daughters attend dances given in theparlor of a house than in a public hallBig storerooms and attics may be rentedfor the storage of furniture I knowone oung woman who conducts a storage house hiring the teams and takingcare of a big business As bookkccpciin a storage house she was given muchmore than her share of work by the lazymanager

She did not complain but spent hertime learning the work and makingfriends of the teamsters and patronsand saving her money The next thinshe did was to establish her own busi-ness and rhe is succeeding welL Onegirl owning a fine roomy brick barnlined with felt for winter putin a big stove cleaned and decoratesit called it The Barn end rented ivery successfully for social affairs antentertainments In the summer shrented it to an artist and his wife Twother girls of my acquaintances rentheir old barn to neighbors for storintheir autos Big houses and big barncan be turned to account in many ways

Decorating-But there arc many more lines of worl

for you if you decide to try the enter-tainment bureau There arc the decora-tions You can plan these and makthe artificial ones including the candland lamp shades You can gradually accumulate palms ferns and rubber plantand baskets of trailing vines which yoican rent to others ust as time floridoes To keep the goodwill of the flor-

a doll like this Many alife can be made happy for years by oneof these inexpensive but beloved toy

THE SMART SLEEVELESS COAT

corsetcover and a white cambric skirt-is to have a fitted slip made for thispurpose It takes the place of a liningand certainly makes one seem muchmore properly dressed

If made of suitable material it may re ¬

place the corsetcover and long petti ¬

coat Under a gown of transparentfabric a slip of this sort is practicallya necessity It assures the same shadeand color under both waist and skirtand by its smoothlyfitting lines addsimmensely to the good effect of the cos ¬

tume It also does away with that bug¬

bear of the summertimethc gapingwaistline

Still another advantage is that bysupplying slips of different colors andusing corresponding ribbons at girdleneck and hair a very pleasing varietymay be given to one gown The slipmay be of silk but it is by no meansnecessary that it should be Lawn anygood mercerized lining fabric or satiremay be used The latter is especiallyadapted for this purpose as itwears and looks well A good cottonmaterial is infinitely to be preferred toa cheap silk

HOW TO MAKE GOOD HASH IA Despised Economical Nourishing

many palates the taste of

To hash is wholly unknownbecause though such a com ¬

dish few cooks under-stand the art of making it and do notappreciate that the ordinary mixture ofmeats and vegetables masquerading ashash is but a travesty upon the wellmade article

If the directions given in the follow-

ing¬

recipes for the kinds ofhash be strictly observed the result ineach instance will be a most satisfactoryrevelation to time housewife whose make-shift

¬

of a dish called for want of an ¬

other name hash has only met withscant welcome o the family table

CornedBeef HashThis is perhaps the most usual and-

at the same time one of the most savoryKinds of hash To make it allow oneput of cold boiled potato cut into smallcubes to two parts of cold cornedbeefchopped fine mix well and season totaste with salt and pepper Put a largetablespoonful of butter in a fryingpanwhen melted turn the meat and potatomixture into it and add enough boilingwater to moisten thoroughly Coverclosely and set on a hot part of therange for five being careful notto let it scorch When a crust is formed-on the bottom turn and brown the upperside then to a hot platter andsend to the table at once

made of wellshrunk nainsook or longcloth Jf detachable flounces are pro-vided the arrangement will be perfectThe flounces may range in degrees oifineness and elaboration from lawncrossbarred dimity figured or dottedSwiss to handsome embroidery or lacetrimmed organdy and French lawnThere will be better protection to theflounce if the slip is allowed to extendm full length underneath it

Gather the top of the flounce into anarrow band Work in it buttonholesabout two and onehalf inches apart andsew buttons on the skirt at correct

for the flounce A band of em-broidery

or ribbonrun beading stitchedto the buttonholed band at the upperedge only will conceal the buttonholesUsing tho SUp With i roPleco Costuno

It is not only under a princess dressthat the princess slip will be appreciatedThe avoidance of extra belt thickness-and adjustment is quite as much to bedesired under a skirtandvaist ccs stume A misses costume shown in timeshops is not a model that requires a-Iming in the making but when devel-oped in the lawn batiste Swiss siltmuslin or serpentine crepe for which itis 50 well adapted the onepiece slipbeneath it improve both its fit andappearance This model by the waymay be made into a semiprincess byuniting the waist and skirt by a bandof lace or embroidered insertion match ¬

ing that insert in lengthwise linesThis is the most practical way tomake the princess models in sheer ma ¬

terials which have not enough body intheir texture to hold the shape of thesmooth princess lines The shaped prin-cess

is extremely effective when made ofallover embroidery Allover embroid-eries

may be bought at very moderateprice if a simple design is selected rNew Ideas of figure

There is no question about the good istyle of the princess models nor thegeneral favor that is accorded themNow that we are realizing the fact thata pinchedin waist is not the suminall-of a good figure and that equalizationof measures gics not only better bal-ance but absolutely a more youthful icarriage the princess gown in well fiteasy fit is not the forbidden garment ithas been to many women Fortunatelytoo for in some of its many possiblemodifications it is embodied mchanging styles The long panel at thefront from neck to the bottom of theskirt is all that remains of it in somemodels but this is really the essentialfeature of the style

It is introduced with excellent effectinto girls dresses when the regularprincess or Gabrielle model might notprovide enough fulness on the slenderyoung figure A plaited skirt is gen ¬

erally preferable to a gathered modelfor lightweight goods White lawnIndian linen or figured muslin may b-

used or one of the dimities or printedsilkandcotton fabrics for the dresswith a plain color of the same materialfor the stole okc sleevebands andbelt For wear under thin unlineddresses there is a French underwaistandpctticoat combination which has thelongwaistcd bodyportion and a flouncethat may be made to button on permit ¬
