How to Oonooot Pretty Waists for
a Summer Wardrobe.
' Lace, Ribbon* and Chiffon—Theae Airy
Nothings Go a Long Way In Making
Out of Nothing a Great Deal—
Unique Frocka.
IOOFYRIGHT. 1805.]
fi HE clever girl
• who is contriv
ing a summer
wardrobe out of
a limited num
ber of dollars
cannot do better
than to look up
a bargain sale of
lace, ribbons and
accordion-p 1 a it
ed chiffon. With
these she can make one gown mas
querade as a multitude. A crepon skirt,
in color a dark green or navy blue, with
silk bodice or sleeves matching the
skirt, is a dress which lends itself par
ticularly well to the masquerade idea,
but it must be well cut, for these airy
fairy collarettes and vests are meant
for decorative effect, and cannot be
fixed to hide a botch in fit or a badly
finished gown. The bodice goes best
with a blouse front and a plain band of
ribbon at the neck. It can be worn
thus in all its simplicity in the street,
but for a summer evening occasion,
behold how easily it can be transformed
into a charming affair.
A collar of paler green silk (assuming
now that the frock be a green one)
can have a wide flaring bow at the
back, and from each side of the throat
a frill of dead white lace may fall in
gradually narrowing folds to the
waist. These frills must be mounted
on narrow white ribbons, which arc
drawn under the edge of the box-plail
and pinned out of sight. Where th<
frills are fastened at the neckband th<
stitches should be covered by a very
full cravat knot of white chiffon.
Another new vest arrangement of
lace is wonderfully summery and there
fore fetching. Lapel-shaped pieces of
A COUPLE OF SUMMEB Our- q.
Venetian point are placed just under
the edge of the inevitable plait. Above
-this are sewn four pieces of lace inser-;
tion, stiffly wired so as to stand out
like very aggressive wings, two on each
side, with rosettes of ribbon between.
This is the simplest of decorations—
when you know how to arrange it—and
it is surprising what a chic effect it
gives.
Still a third vest entirely conceals the
front of the bodice. It is made of two

THE NEWEST IN BLOUSE WAISTS,
yards oi net-top mce sixteen mcnes
wide. From the heavy part below the
net cut two little triangular pieces.
Cut the ends of what is left to make
them quite straight, hem them and
then gather on a yoke lining of pink
satin in such away as to leave the
ends longer than the middle. Make
the collar of a stiff band of pink satin
ribbon, with a bow of many loops and
ends. Sew a band of the pink ribbon
along the edge of the lace also, but on
the under side, so that the color will
show through the meshes as at the
yoke.
A pretty collar, and one easily fash
ioned by the home dressmaker, is cut
square, just like a boy’s sailor collar,
and is made of fine linen lawn. All
around the edge is a double frill of ac
cordion-plaited India muslin, bordered
with very narrow Valenciennes lace.
If carried out in pure white this collar
has an airy freshness which, in dog
days, ought to be positively bewitching.
A collar seen at an up-Hudson gar
den party the other day was at once
rich and simple. It was made of a
jomplete circle of ivory-colored satin.
A smaller circle was cut from the mid
dle for the neck, leaving the collar
about two inches wide. It was simply
faced with more satin and had no stand
ing collar. Its peculiar charm lay in
the odd' pieces of rich antique lace
which were applied at intervals about
its edge. It was not covered solid and
the soft luster of the satin gleamed
through all the spaces. A collar just
as pretty, if not so delicate, can be
made in the same fashion of black satin
with cream-white lace.
For those who have not yet tired of
rosettes at either side of the neck a
somewhat new design is shown in the
shops. Two yard-long strips of a whole
width of chiffon are bordered with lace
and then gathered at one end with a
heading an inch in depth. This head
ing is drawn up so tight as to form a
rosette and is sewed to the collar just
under the ear. This leaves a long
scarf hanging down on either side. The
scarf' ends may be drawn together at
the front and crossed and recrossed so
that the lace and chiffon fall in de
lightfully graceful folds and puffs and
wrinkles. The longest end Should
reach to the waist or a little below it.
This may be fastened with stick pins
and a different arrangement will sug
gest itself every time the confection is
worn.
There are yet scores of stock collars
and neck bands. You could wear a
fresh one every hour of the day and
still have plenty left for to-morrow.
One of the newest is shirred, but in a
manner somewhat unusual. Instead of
going around the gathers go up and
down and rosettes appear at the sides.
Just in front of each rosette is a fan
shaped piece of chiffon and cut-work
embroidery is shirred into the collar it
self. The fan-shaped bits are not held
up in any way, but are allowed to fall
softly.
For daytime wear such a collar may
be all black; for evening a pretty
combination is an alternation of dark
and light blue, or of white and pale
green.
To proceed with the procession of
collars, still another is made of lace in
three widths. It takes about a yard
and a half of each, and the widest
should be four inches. The different
widths are gathered with one thread
for the three on a narrow foundation
band. This makes so much fullness
.that it stands up without being wired,
and makes a delicious frame for a
round young throat. A twist of ribbon
finishes it at the lower edge, and it is
hooked in the back under a rather flat
bow.
A yoke of black ribbon is something
of a novelty, as the ribbons cross from
shoulder to shoulder, slightly rolled so
as to have the appearance of a row of
deep tucks. The yoke is square in
shape, with a bertha of lace, and at
every corner and at intervals around
the neck-piece are set little butterfly
bows fastened with cut steel buckles.
The woman whose ambitious soul can
tolerate nothing but the newest fancy
of the hour must have a wreath of flow
ers to wear about her neck. Violets or
forget-me-nots looking wonderfully
natural, and mounted on ribbons of the
same shade are hooked close about the
throat under a large bow of satin
ribbon.
For an interesting little diversion, it
may be said that full skirts will be
fuller than ever this summer, stiff be
hind and flaring at the bottom. Many
are untrimmed, but a few have Spanish
ruffles. Silk ruffs are always a pretty
finish to a frock, and they say (they
are so important in a story about fash
ions) that the foot looks much smaller
when the skirt is finished with a full
ruche.
One of the most unique summer mod
els I have seen is of pale shrimp pink
crepon in a waved design. It is trimmed
with jet and black and satin ribbon.
The skirt is plain and full, but the bod
ice has a deep yoke of jet with a blouse
of the silk, and the waist is finished
with a deep band of the jet sewn on a
belt of satin ribbon. The large sleeves
have plaited cuffs finished with satin
ribbon bands, and the collar is very
prettily fashioned of a full- band of rib
bon with jet knots at either side.

Intelligent Cavalry Horse*.
An old cavalryman says that a horse
will never step on a man intentionally.
It is a standing order in the English
cavalry that should a man become dis
mounted, he must lie down and keep
perfectly still. If he does so the entire
troop will pass over him without his
being injured. A horse notices where
he is going, and is on the lookout for a
firm foundation to put his foot on. It
is an instinct with him, therefore, to
step over a prostrate man. The inju
ries caused to human beings by a run
away horte are nearly always inflicted j
by the animal knocking them
and not b£ his stepping on* them.
THE ROME TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. JUNE 18. 1895.
STORIES OF THE DAY.
He Was After a Spoop, but Was a Little
Late.
There was a laid, persistent knock
ing heard at the front door of a house
on the North Side The hour was late,
and it took some time to rouse the in
mates, but a second story window was
opened at last, a head was
thrust out, and a Querulous voice in
quired :
“Who’s there?" \
"Is this where Mrs! Gagsby lives?"
‘.‘Yes. What do you want?”
“I want tn ask you”*—
“Who are you?”
“I’m a reporter for Tin Daily Bread. ”
“This is a pretty timdof night to go
around disturbing people that are try
ing to sleep. ”
“1 beg your pardon, madam, but we
have to do this sort of thijg sometimes
I don’t like it any better than you do,
but I’ve got to make my Ining. I won’t
detain you long. I’m oi track of a
scoop, and”—
“Whose scoop?” >
“A scoop on the other papers. I
learned by accident a few hours ago in
the course of a conversation with a
friend that yon had an exciting adven
ture with a burglar who broke into
your house”—
“See here, young man”— \
“Beg pardon, Mrs. Gagsby, but if an
account of the affair gets into the papers
you would rather it got in correctly,
wouldn’t you?”
“Yes, but”—
“And you can’t keep a thing of that
kind out of the papers. They’ll jet hold
of it somehow. They always do. I was
told that you were waked out of a sound
sleep by hearing a window raised softly,
that you saw a man put his hand in and
grasp the window sill as if to draw
himself inside, and that you picked up
a hatchet and slipped along the wall to
the window ; is that right?”
“Yes, but”—
“I understand your natural dislike of
newspaper notoriety, Mrs. Gagsby, but
you can't suppress an adventure of this
kind. Yon raised the hatchet and
brought it down on his fingers with all
your force, completely severing three of
them from the hand. With a howl of
pain and dismay the baffled villain fled
You picked up the fingers. Is that cor
rect?”
“It is, but”—
“Beg pardon, madam, but time press
es. May I ask you to let me have those
severed fingers? They will be of the ut
most importance, you understand, in
furnishing a clew”—
“The fingers? I threw them away
long ago. ”
“You did?”
“Yes. Do you suppose I wanted to
keep them f 'rever?”
“Why, when was it this thing hap
pened?”
“Eleven years ago."—Chicago Trib

Protecting Home Industrie*.
The women of Tacoma, Wash., are
engaged in a very active crusade in fa
vor of “home industries. ” They have
formed a league whose members pledge
themselves to give preference always to
articles manufactured in Tacoma or
produced in the state and to labor to
bring others to their principles. The
women are working id the matter with
an astonishing vigor and have succeed
ed in booming local ti%de to a notable
extent. One feature of the crusade is a
badge worn by members of the Home
Industry league, and another .is the
printing of a list of home manufactured
articles, which is supplied to every
household in th" town —New York Sun.
