HOUSEHOLD
If one may judge from the number
fWcliac gathered around the silk
counters or the large store this fabric
will be much worn this season. The
feet that one good summer silk 'out
lasts many cotton gowns has undoub
tedly something to do with U but. the
beauty of the silk themselves which are
exquisite in color and design has ccr-
tainly a great influence in the choice of
these lovely fabrics for summer gowns.
It would be hrd to say Whether taf
fetas foulard India and China silk or
the new varieties of surah win the most
attention. In taffetas three new styles
have appeared; a spotted a "dappled"
and a watered pattern being shown
besides small stripes and the most deli
cate floral patterns such as diminutive
rosebuds tiny violets and widely sep-
erated leaves. Sometimes the stripes
are half an inch in width and even
wider but the lesser width is lately
much preferred and oftenershown and
is found among all the late importations.-
The crossbarred and shot silks '
as well as the brocaded are seen side-
by side with chine patterns and the
fluted designs which of late- have
found much favot. Watered silks of
alt kinds and colors are worn black
being however the favorite.. The tints
seen in the groundwork of chine silks
are more often cream fawn pale yel-
low or light green than heliotrope al-
though this tint is also found. The
brown called "doe" is greatly admired
constitutes a very pleasing background
(or a variety of colors. Roses violets
geraniums fuchias primroses tulips
poppies com flowers tripple bunches
of wheat and chrysanthemums are
among the designs Ob grounds both
right and dark.
The silks showing a straight or
wavy stripe of black on pink are much
admired while the shot silks varying
from blue to brown violet to fawn
lilac to a full rich yellow dark or light
green to coral pink or light red brown
to black gray to a warm brown or
green to a darker green are-all in fas
hion.
Never despite its many rivals was

Iferred before it except where it is sim
ply a background or associated with
stripes of one ol the other of these
alors. Plain eray in cloth or silk
and woolen is fashionable but we are
now speaking of silks
The Louis Quitue design are seen
pn new effects. Micnonette in the
background tint with a. figure in emi-
nence purple and pale green with the
clemanU virte showing rich violet hue
of its graceful blossoms are among the
est liked patterns.
Summer Satins. '
The vogue of satin brings in those
now described as "Summer satins."
These are surahs and the lighter
among the satin duchesse They are
chosen for evening and dinner dresses
to wear throughout the season at
hotels or for visiting country houses
where it is more than ever the fashion
now to dine late in the evening and
to wear evening dress as in England.
In matters of dress it is somewhat
amusing to observe all. the time that
lle the English and French ladies
and for that matter the gentlemen of
both nationalities are imitating Ameri
cans we are more and more inclined
fo take up many and especially the
note practical and sensible among the
English styles and although some may
object to the evening dress for dinner
it certainly brings the beauty of our
nulds and matrons more conspicuously
"to the front."
The satins of the kinds above named
and those which attract the greatest
admiration have pale brown or light
green backgrounds like the favorities
among the silks and a faint violet tint
'ghter even than glycine is also shown
4 ink is shot with blue and has spots of
hite black or of one of the colors In
pe changeable tints mentioned. Brown
$ 'hot wjth a vivid cherry color and
Iblue varies to gold color of to prim
rose. The dark and backgrounds
how beautiful effects varying to all the
f'm fashionably worn. as. for example
Wick to green black to fawn to pink
l yellow to amber to violet and to
eu both light and dark and brown
5tay and black backgrounds vary to
wghonette while a striking and stylish
"icct is produced by h varying ol
both black and btdwrt to a clear silvery
grfty.
COTTONS
The vogue of silk and of light-weight
satins however great as is now the
case cannot do away with the need of
cotton gowns and of several of them.
The fashionablo mode of decorating
such dresses given in our article on
"Trimmings" in this number and allud-
ed to in many articles on various gar-
ments also to be found in this issue
would tempt any one to purchase more
instead of fewer gowns of this kind
than usual for these garnitures are
what women call "lovely1 and show
a great variety besides which fact the
materials arc extremely reasonable in
price and offer charming novelties m
texture color and pattern.
The silk ginghams and the "silk1'
bathtcs have really what they profess
to have a greater perponderance of
silk than of cotton and can be laundered
without- deterioration. Then come
the daintiest Scotch ginghams ever
shown as yet.
After these come the "Madras"
goods and a kind of ch'ambray which
combines durability with beauty of
pattern. In these materials as also'
in other cottons small figures narrow
stripes and delicate dots are associated
quite often with corded effects. The
light-weight zephyrs find ready sales.
Among ginghams the crepe designs
are now the most sought and the
stripes in two colors. Some of the
new ginghams show primrose violet
black and white in the stripes while
others display pale green "doe" or
lilac stripes next to a white of ecru
stripe simulating lace.
Organdy
Organdy will doubtless be among
the cottons most worn this season.
Nainsook.
For seashore hotels gowns in nain-
sook with the predominant "band trim-
ming" and the 'tMedici" lace garni-
tures will be much worn.
Dotted Swiss
All dotted goods in cotton will be
worn and among them the white Swiss
muslins and the new "Swiss" which
shows a colored ground with white
spots or such tints as pink blue light
green or violet in spots on white or
cream Among the odd effects are
blue roses.
Batiste
The new batistes show the palest
or "doe" the most delicate green or
cream white or black in the back-
ground and floral as well as other de-
signs which are of striking novelty as
well as beauty.
Sponge Cako.
A delicious sponge cake may be
made by beating the yolks ot six eggs
until very light and adding to them
one cup and a half of sugar and the
juice and the grated rind of onelemon;
add to this a scant cupful of finely-sifted
flour then the well-beaten white of
the eggs and another cupful of flour.
Stir briskly and pour into a well-
greased tin and bake in a hot oven
for forty minutes..
Amotour Photography Applied.
More agrreable to speak of is the
new idea Parisians have takeu of dec-
orating the menu card with the little
photographs one has made herself on
some past journey It shows to what
a rage anuteur photograpy has grown
Each menu in this way is made a
souvenir of a place visited perhaps
Normandy or maybe Algiers and be-
comes a means between neighbors at
table of recalling common memories
discovering points of sympathy and
generally facilitating conversation.
