Soft, clinging materials are once more coming in for house gowns, and Greek effects will therefore be fashionable during the coming season. Like the gown worn by Celia in Harold Frederic's Illumination, they will be draped rather than fitted. Cashmere, nuns veiling and soft camels hair will be the materials used. The colors will be varied. All light colorings are likely to be popular, but the girls will choose with a view rather to their own eyes and complexion, just as Celia chose ivory white on account of her wonderful head of burnished gold. A successful gown is of robins egg blue, and will be worn by a dark girl with rosy cheeks. The back has a loosely fitted waist and a train that lies several inches upon the floor; in front the bodice is cut in a deep V and the fronts are loose and cross in surplice fashion, hanging in quite a blouse at the waist, where they are belted in under a roll of green velvet. The V is, of course, too deep to remain unfilled, eo a charming vest of pale blue Persian chiffon is here used with telling effect. The sleeves are long and arrange and rearrange according to their childish fancy. They should have such a corner. It should cot be in a hot attic or a damp basement, on the barn. ground or In an If a eh. Id Is small or has no brothers ard sisters for playmates It should not be isolated, for children are social little beings, who love to carry on conversations with somebody and who dearly prize a little sympathy with their play. In that vast majority of homes which are not spacious enough to afford a nursery some particular spot or corner should be set aside for the smaller members of the household. It should not be the darkest, most unattractive corner of the hoime, and it should not be a spot which must he cleared up at the approach of every visitor. We have all seen the look of childish dismay on the face of some wee housekeeper when the things she has so carefully arranged are swept away by the rude hand of some unsympathizing elder one, who wants to tidy up the To her little mind It seems room. very senseless and cruel to put away her pretty toys so that the room will The nice to older people. look childs play corner should he some sunny place which can he left entirely for the little child, for her taste to arrange and her caprice to fix, without regard of the to any other arrangements household. In a pleasant home in which lives a contented little girl such a play corner Is set aside in the deep south window It contains, to he of the dining room. sure, among other things, a family cf six dolls and their wardrobe, an ironing board, bedstead, dresser, writing desk, wringer and washtub, piano, horse and wagon, an elephant, four kittens and numerous sundries. The family sits down to the table in full sight cf six ladies seated at a table whose principal article of diet is sugar. Sometimes they see a washing hanging on line, again there is a fully equipped hospital in view, and veiy often a full dressmaking and millineiy department are a few feet from their elbows. The little girls mamma never disturbs her things, though she tries to teach her to keep them in order herself. She Is not allowed to scatter them all over the house, but this one corner, where she need not be alone, where she may be well protected from the weather and whose attractiveness even she can feel Is entirely hers, and she is never called upon to relinquish it. of Many Style Cowing, and partly conceal tight, inner Sleeves of the chiffon.

Children love a place of their own. They like one, too, that will not be taken away from them at every caprice of their elders a little spot where they can play undisturbed, which they can Hat. Alpines. English walking hats, turbans and the perennial sailor shapes all those styles which are always in fashion for traveling wear and general utility uses are more than ever popular this year, golf, tennis, yachting and cycling costumes being incomplete without a finish of one or the other of these practical models. This year the sailoi hat Is trying to both men and women. Like an inch on the end of a mans nose, the small addition to height or width of a sailor hat makes all the vital difference between the becoming and the reverse. In styles for men, the crowns, even on sizes usually fitting the wearer, look bulky end overbroad. The sailors for women and girls are, as a rule, nearly two inches too high and an inch too wide to look well or make their wearers look so in them. However, they are the rage, orim and crown, and therefore there is nothing furthtr that need be said for or against them. Alpine shapes are slightly narrower in the brim than last year, and the crowns somewhat higher. They are trimmed with stiff shades, quill feathers and a bow and band of bias velvet. The pineapple straws are much used this year,, both for sailors and Alpines for cycling Wear. The turbans and English walking hats are quite too weighty for comfortable uses just now, although they can hardly be surpassed as appropriate shapes for traveling. For the autumn s ason thse velvet flower and feather-trimme- d styles will, however, be all that could be desired. Matronly women who are disgusted with the little toy bonnets offered in the shops, and do not think the oval toques becoming. over-trimm- still find the English walking hat most satisfactory model for genera wear.

Large hotels afford an opportunitj for women to fill several remunerative positions without any loss of dignity, and if she is willing to work with promptness and neatness there is nc reason why she should not make a comfortable living and be of invaluable assistance to the traveler. The position of "ladies companion" is sugge,d as a novel line of work for women. Such a companion would live in the hotel and make herself generally useful to its women guests, charging so much an hour for bei service. Her services as a guide oi chaperone would he invaluable on many oc. asions. If the weather is bac or the guest is ill and wishes to he entertained the companion only needs tc This many consider e be notified. most excellent opening for both elderly and young women.
