7 New Designs for Dinner Gowns Etiquette for the Dinner Guest ' THE SUAIJA OKIXiOXIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 23, 1908. IPI 1 KKE5rnPEn Dice f fA5niH5 (&.Peaott ' f j if . - (i ' i THK small and somewhat Informal dinner Is no longer under the Lepten ban, and the result Is an Increase of these functions when dances and theater parties are ta ' booed. Moreover, even when one or two are gathered together as din ner guests, the custom of wearing what suggests the decollette gown Is rapidly growing In America, a pretty cus tom long followed by our English cousins. The women who cannot don pure de collette designs In dinner bodices may ap proach them with the small square or Dutch neck, or she can have the bodice cut quite deeply, and then hide her phys ical defects of throat and shoulder with lilmy lace, tulle or gauze. Thin arms may be hidden by the crinkly, shirred mous quetaire sleeves coining down over the back of the hand In deep point. Made of chiffon, gauze, net or lace, these mons quetalre sleeves are a blessing to the diner with thin, scrawny arms and are welcomed by all thin women. The new fabrics Intended for dinner frocks include striped, figured and bor dered chiffon cloth, satin foulards, with fancy borders, satin messaline trimmed with Japanese embroidered, lace, silky voiles to be made up with Irish, filet or cluny lace; lace and net robes and the very sheer so-called tub fabrics, the lat ter exquisitely figured and bordered, re producing the designs shown in figured and bordered chiffons. Uhe newest features of the dinner de signs offered In exclusive shapes are the shadowy designs in flowers, the tunic, real or simulated, and the inevitable touch of black on every costume, together 'with jeweled. principally rhinestone, buckles, buttons or ornaments. The tunic Is perhaps the most im portant departure in dress, and' one which very few women of moderate means can attempt. It is a modified overskirt, with long, sweeping lines, and must be made ot supple or clinging fabrics. It is best described as a fitted upper garment with out yoke or separate sleeves, fastened down the back and hanging over the skirt, somewhat longer in the back than In the front. Sometimes it fits the figure snuslv. Again it is semi-fitting and short walstert, Rmpire fashion. It is trying to the average figure and the home dress maker alike. Crepe de chine is no longer seen In chic dinner frocks, but the new satin finished foulards may be used. The latter arc most practical, for a dinner frock of soft, supple foulard vith Dutch neck and elbow sleeves, may be converted into a serviceable and smart house gown by simply inserting a hand-embroidered batiste or linen dickey and attaching deep cuffs to match. The Japanese embroidered laces so popular this :eason are simply silk net, heavily embroidered In huge Jap anese designs', roses, chrysanthemums, etc.. either In self-tone or contrast, and often with a thread of gold or silver running through the embroidery. They can be purchased for moderate prices, (ar below the usual "real" laces. A four or tie-lti(h handing in excellent design ran be hud for $2.50 per yard. For the slender purse, an admirable fabric for a Spring dinner frock, which can also be utilized for Summer wear, Is the new French cotton vollo in stripes or figures, self-tone or contrast. These imported voiles ' are soft and supple, sinU combine well with Irish lace. The cotton voiles of American manufacture are only 25 cents a yard, but they are coarser and stiffcr than the French brand. Three interesting designs are shown today. One suggests the Japanese influence. In both sleeves and trim ming. The model from which it was drawn was of greenish-blue satin messallne, trimmed with Japanese lace In Just tne right shade of ecrn net em broidered in blues and greens. This banding was used to oiitline the panel front of tho skirt, the hem and to sug Pretty Arms Did you ever notice the bands of a French woman? They are chic, like everything about her. Long before she dons her frock, her arms and hands are "dressed" as it were. Perhaps she has spent an hour doing this, but do not think for an Instant that it does not pay. She, removes her gloves at the table with great ease and assur ance, knowing that the kid glove hides no defects. The busy housewife may have little time to spend at her toilet table, yet. she can do much for her hands even in the two weeks between the receipt of the dinner Invitation and the event ful night. Let her begin at once by wcariqg gloves from morning until night, save when eating, and without i fail from night until morning. After breakfast she must slip on a pair of old kid gloves and wear them while dusting, making beds, etc. After din ner she puts them on again during the afternoon, and again in the evening' after supper. During the day she bathes the hands occasionally with the following lction, letting it dry Into the skin before, putting on the gloves again: Sweet and bitter almonds, blanched! and pounded into a paste, 250 grams each; lemon juice, 60 grams; sweet milk. 30 grams; sweet almond oil, 90 grams; brandy, ISO grams. . At night she covers the hands with the following paste and then wears a pair of old gloves until morning: Myrrh, 1 ounce; honey,' 4 ounces; yel low wax, 2 ounces: rosewater, 6 ounces. 'Melt the wax in a double boiler and while hot add the myrrh, which should be used in powdtred form. Beat these thoroughly together, then add the honey and rosewater, Stirling constantly. Then add enough glycerine, drop by drop, to make a spreadablf paste. Strange as this statement my seem, it Is nevertheless quite true, that lac ing will cause red bands and arms. The girl who wears her corsets so tight that breathing Is an effort is al most sure to be afflicted with red and swollen hands, and no amount of pastes and cosmetics will effect a cure until she relieves the cause. A large number of women are annoyed with such blemishes as warts. These can e removed by a very simple home remedy. I shall be glad to give it to ny of my readers upon receipt of Stamped and self-addressed envelope. On the wash stand of ever'' woman who wants white hands should be found a cut lemon. I know otno cos metic, or bleach, of such general value. Lemon juice will take off almost any stain, whether it be from ink. clean ing vegetables or polishing silver. It strengthens the nails, prevents hang nails, and kills the growth of the scart skin about the nails. A systematic treatment of the hands which should be followed 12 months In the year is here given: With pure, uiiscented soap and warm water, lather the liands and use a nail brush on the nails. When the stains and grime and dust resist the soap and gest the tunic near the knees; also to outline the over-blouse and short ki mono sleeves. To the latter sleeves were attached sleeve flouncing of fine lierre lace, and if a tucker or dickey is necessary, because of thin neck and shoulders, lierre lace may be used for this purpose. The second design shows what can be done with n. simple black net over white silk. The mesh was very fine, so that it had the look of a voile in silky weave, and the lace chosen for trimming the skirt and outlining sur-pllce-bsetelles was of black chantilly, the Insertion inset with medallions of silver lace. This means considerable hand work for the home dressmaker, but the effect Is exquisite, particularly on a blonde. . The wheels of silver lace can be bought by the yard, and give a much' more Frenchy effect than would the use of solid silver lace insertion. Less expensive would be medallions of heavy white lace inset in lightweight black insertion or vice versa, light weight white medallions on heavy black. " The girdle should be of soft black velvet, with rhinestone buckles or buttons in the back. For making a dinner blouse of net. to .be worn with matching skirt or skirt of a different fabric in the same Dinner Gown In Blue-Green Messallne With JapHDrar I.nee. shade, the bodice model Is most ef fective. All the trimming is concen trated on the bretelles and cuffs. The model was of ecru net, the bretelles heavily encrusted with self-tone lace medallions, outlined by the narrowest of velvet ribbon Jn coral pink, with piping and buttons of the same tint. The girdle matched the net in softest messallne. and the tucker fitted into the brettelles was of ecru mulle with hand-run tucks. A few up-to-date hints concerning dinner frocks: Black nets and chif fons are made over white silk, tea green and brown over cream or bis cuit colored Bilk. White and silver lace combine admirably tn making up a frock of black net. mulle or chiffon. A lace or embroidered robe Is not co nomlcal because you must line it first with silk, then a drapery of chiffon, and In the long run you will do better to buy material, lace or net. by the yard, lfave your skirt very plain and your bodice elaborate. MARY DKAN. and Hands water treatment, try the lemon juice, or perhaps a little pumice stone. Rinse In clear water to which you have added a few drops of benzoin, and par tially, dry on a towel. Pour into the palms of your bends a few drops of perfumed glycerine and rub thorough ly into the skin. Sometimes a dash of talcum applied when the glycerine is half rubbed in has a softening effect. If glj-cerine does not agree with your skin, use pure honey that has b'-en strained. This is very healing, and at the same time whitening. It is very seldom that a perfectly moulded arm is seen. It is apt to be too large, with coarse skin, or too thin with flabby muscles. The latter condi tion can be largely alleviated by mas sage. To massage the arms properly you must grasp one arm with the op posite hand and begin at the shoulder. working down the arm with a wring ing or twisting motion. The next time begin at the wrist and work in the same manner up to the shoulder. To improve the circulation, take a mass of the muscles between the thumb and fingers and move them up and down upon the bones, 'just as if the flesh were a sleeve hung upon the bones, that might be pushed up and down. Sometimes a form of goose-flesh is found upon the upper arm. If the points are very large, pumice stone may be employed, but often vigorous brushing with a rough flesh brush is sufficrentl Lemon juice will also re lieve this trouble. The girl with a very scrawny arm will find great benefit in the following flesb-builder, but It should never be used upon the face, as it contains lano line: Tannin, M gram; lanoline, 30 grams; oil of sweet almonds, 20 grams. Melt the almond oil and the lanoline in a double boiler over a slow fire, then beat in the tannin, drop by drop, until the mixture is quite cool. ' A great number of women are bur dened with 'an excessive growth of hair on the arms. Pumice stone, not pumice powder, rubbed well over the arms every day will "often relieve this. If not, a depilatory must them be re sorted to. I will bo glad to furnish a depilatory formula on receipt of stamp ed and self-addressed envelope. In connection with the slender, grace ful arm and dainty white, soft, hand. I must call attention to the necessity of taking great care of the finger-nails. Not long ago a whole article was de voted to nails and manicuring in these columns, but in a word, I must say that nil efforts- will be lost if the nails are not well manicured, and the tip of each finger does not shine like a tiny piece of pink coral. KATHERINE MQRTON. Which and Why. Nashville Tennesaeean. Why is it that the fellow who is always very skeptical Is also and it rarely fails exceedingly dvs- pentlcat? Does being a dyspeptic also render him a skeptic Or the fact that he's a skeptic come from belna- a dyspeptic? COWI BRIDAL LINENS IN 1908 THE overflowing linen chest of our grandmothers has disappeared!. To be sure the fad of the moment is for a carved chest, lavender scented, but the modern bride is not so particular as to its contents, for she finds that fashions change in household as well as personal linen. She is now expected to provide not enough clothing and household linen to last for years, but only enough lingerie to last a year, while her household sup piles are governed by the size of her new cottage or flat home. In her personal linen she is supposed to have at least a dozen sets of drawers and corset covers, six rather fine and six made for ordinary hard wear. She avoids cheap, lace-trimmed lingerie and selects for the best sets the popular convent work which she may embellish with inserts of good all-over lace or edg ing, done with narrow Val. edging, done entirely by hand! For her common sets, she selects the plain hemstitched ruffle finish. Six nightgowns, three flannel petti coats and half a dozen lingerie skirts, one silk and one stout sateen of chambray petticoat she will also need, half a dozen pairs of silk or lisle hosiery and half a dozen In the cotton weight she prefers. A pair of shoes for dress, another for tailored costumes, rainy-day boots, danc ing slippers and house slippers she must also have. Two dozen handkerchiefs, a dozen in the new cross-bar Shamrock lawn for common wear and another dozen picked up at odd times in liner weaves, will suffice. A pair of coutil corsets for cool weather and another in batiste she will need. As warm weather is not far off. she will have plenty of dainty dressr Ing sacques and negligees in wash fabrics, such as plain and figured lawns, with lace trimming and ribbon bows. A soiled negligee is inexcusable on the modern woman. If she is to preside over the average Avar or six-room flat, or cottage, she will need in household linen a dozen sheets, the same number of pillow cases, two dozen huck and damask towels, half a dozen bath towels, half a dozen glass towels and the same number of tea towels, a silence cloth and half a dozen table cloths, unless she uses the bare polished table with doylies, in which case NET. W ITH BUCK AM) SI four table clothes will do, and a dozen round doylies with scalloped edges must be purchased. To this she must add three dozen napkins in breakfast and dinner sizes, and such centerpieces and linen mats as her purse will permit. The as bestos mats, covered with scalloped linen slips are preferred to knit or straw mats under hot dishes. All linen is marked with the bride's .maiden initials or monogram.

Some brides, breaking away from cus tom, mark their personal, not household linen with their Christian name,' "Lucy" or "Mary," oiftlining the name with No. 80 cotton, and surrounding it with a cir cle in plain or loop stitch. MARY DEAN. To Gain W eight. If you want to take on weight, rest upon every possible occasion, and sleep as long and late as you want to, for sleep is a most valuable factor in the accumulation of fat. If sleep Is wary, court it by exer cise, or drink a warm glass of milk just before retlrir.g. Avoid excitement of any kind from either conversation or reading just before going to bed. Bodily massage invites slumber, or a gentle massage of the scalp, dry or with tonic. Be careful of your diet, eating slowly and partaking of nourishing, simple foods, masticate thoroughly, and avoid liquids at meals. Avoid worry and fretting, occupy your mind with wholesome diversions.and take all the exercise In the fresh air and sunshine you can get. Ventilate your sleeping apartment thoroughly at night. Sleeve Links. An idea which has been followed out by a number of girls for sleeve links for their morning waists of the tailor-made variety in flannel is to get the . plain mother-of-pearl buttons, which are sold for men's evening wear. They are fist buttons, just like those which are sewed on shirtwaists, only finer and of a more attractive design. They are small in size, and when used in the tailored shirtwaists they are ex ceedingly neat and at .the same time smart-lookins- With them are worn scarf pin and belt buckle to match. The Owl. The owl. with his saucerlike eyes, May appear exceedingly wise. But I think he's a stupid thing. He doesn't even know how to sing. And sleeps while there's a ray of light. Then wonders why he can't rest at nigbt. LVER LACE. NOTES FOR THE HOUSEWIFE CJ EESWAX, broken in pieces and put L within the folds of white woolens and silks, will overcome the tendency to yellowness that white fabrics have when laid away for any length of time. Water standing in a room is a good dis infectant, as it .absorbs all Impurities. Cake icing will not crack when cut If a little thick cream is added to it. Al low one teaspoonful to each-white of an egg. ' To remove a rusty screw, first apply a very hot iron to the head for a short time; then immediately use the screw driver. Always save the water in which rice, macaroni or anything of a like nature has been boiled. It is excellent for soups gravies, etc. To' take grease out of leather apply the white of an egg to the spot and dry in the sun. Repeat the application till the stain is removed. When boiling old potatoes, which are apt to go a very dark color, put a table spoonful of milk into the water in which they are boiled, and you will find they will bo beautifully white when cooked. When filling oil lamps- place, a small lump of camphor in the oil vessel: It win greatly improve the light and make the flame clearer and brighter. If you have no camphor add a few drops of vinegar occasionally. - A quick method of maklngbread-erumbs is to put the crumbs from a stale loaf Into a muslin bag. tie at the top, and rub it gently with both hands for a few minutts. The , bread will hen be fine enough for any puspose. : Coffee stains, even when there Is cream in the coffee, can be removed from the most delicate silk or woolen fabrics by brushing the spots- with pure glycerine. Rinse in lukewarm water, and press on the wrong side until quite dry. The gly cerine absorbs both the coloring matter and the grease. THE first duty of the man or woman who has received an invitation to dine at the house of a friend is to send either an acceptance or regret to that invitation. There is no function where an even number of guests Is more essential to its success than a dinner. A dinner engagement once made can. . be broken only for some i-ltal reason, such as sickness, death In the family, etc. I have known a girl . to accept an invita tion of this character, then, a day or two before the dinner, . decide that her blue gown was too. soiled and her pink one was out of date, arid finally write a hasty note to her hostess, saying that she finds she is unable to be present. This is simply Inexcusable. Guests should arrive at Jhe house of their hostess about ten minutes before the hour set. It is almost as grave a mistake to arrive 30 minutes too soon as 10 minutes too late. As a rule, no room is set aside for the men. as they come in evening dress and simply re move their coats and hats in the hall, but a dressing-room is always ready for the women. - . When the dinner is announced the hostess asks the men to escort the la dies to the dining-room. She desig nates to each man the woman whom he is to take in.. He then offers his left arm to that woman, and finds - their Flcru Net With I.ooe and Coral Velvet. scats, . which' will be indicated by plate cards. The gentleman then draws out the chair, seats his companion and seats himself. It is, , of course, necessary that the hostess be seated first. Once in their chairs, the ladies remove their gloves. , All' seated, the guests take their nap kins and shake them out. laying them across their laps.. The first course is generally on the table when the guests enter the dining-room. The' hostess gives the signal to eat by doing so her self. - l.ct me say here that it is the height of bad manners to refuse a course. If you do not like soup, that is no rea son why you should refuse to have a plate of it set before you. You need not indulge in 'it to any extent, but make a pretense of It. Take a little of every thing that is set before .you and make a semblance of enjoying it. ', When dinner has been served, it is the custom for the ladies to adjourn to the parlor and have their coffee, leav ing the men of the party to enjoy a Btag. Therefore, at the end of the des- Forecasting Frocks and Frills WITH Summer still several months away, fashions in hot weather modes are practically settled. To the average feminine mind, backed by a slender purse, the saddest feature of the fashion outlook is the very radical change In fabrics. Hardly anything that was left in good order from last Sum mer's wardrobe can be' utilized this year. While stripesremain In vogue for all two-piece suits-, with tailored finish, the stripes show a decided change. Two tone stripes have been in vogue. Now the three-tone stripe is the only effect seen in smart shops. The tailored suits we are laying away showed black and blue, green and brown, grcn and blue, etc. The new stripes come in threes, not- pairs. For example, ,jn a light effect you will find oyster-white, blue-gray and rather deep blue combined. Next comes a biscuit-colored background with half Inch stripes of tea-green and a soft red dish brown. A striking black and white stripe shows a hair line of red on either side of the black, and so It goes; the three-tone effect in everything. The new silks are all. novelties, save when they appear In waists to match tailored suits. The new black and whites have a-. silvery sheen, and are made up with a ' touch of crimson. A stunning model showed a Madame Butterfly design with kimono sleeves and two-button semi-fitting coat with vest done in black and white silk stripes. The vest was of black taffetas, laid in fine pleats and fin ished with a very fine piping of the scar let silk. The skirt was quite plain, stitched with black silk. ' ' The delicately tinned silks for dressy costumes almost Invariably show self tone stripes. That is. on a taffeta silk In one of the new greenis-h-blue hues showed a satin stripe nearly an inch wide, and, overlaying both the satin and taffeta stripe, huge oblongs of moire: yet all three, moire, satin and taffetas, are in precisely the same tint of blue, the dif ference lying in weave and sheen. The new foulards have a decided satin' sheen, with a supple weave, and are priced at $1.50 per yard. For all these foulards come laces dyed in exactly the correct shade: most of them run with a thread of gold or silver, also -the Japan ese embroidered laces on silk net. A smart slik novelty Is the shade of natural colored pongee with a border on either ed;e of Persain design in faded colorings. It Is said this will "be much used for tunic effects, paniers, jackets, -vests and fancy blouses, but it is not an economical silk by any means. Far more practical are the wide silks with single borders, which are used around the foot of skirts, coats, etc. Unquestionably the border is the thing, and all the new. goods show this effect. The new gauzes and chiffons have-a bor der effect in various shades. For exam ple, a silk gauze starts at the foot of the skirt in a rich shade of natier blue, grows lighter and lighter in shadowy stripes until it reaches the waist line a bluish white. A novelty in cloth for the tall, slender sert. the hostess rises. The gentlemen rise and pull out the chairs for the ladies, who pass into the drawing-room. l.e men then sit at ease, resume their talk and smoke and sip their coffee, while the ladies in the drawing-room chat as they dring their coffee, the men joining them, when they have finished their ci gars. . There Is no set time for remaining after dinner. Sometimes there is a lit tie music, then again the guests simply sit about, talking to one another. How ever, the lady makes the first motion to go when she has an escort with her. A single man who came alone to a dinner should ask his hostess before he leaves if he can escort any young lady home. Always take leave of both the hostess and the host. Men should wear full dress suits at a formal dinner: by that I mean swallow tail. The Tuxedo coat is for informal occasions, when ladies are not present. A black tie. however, is permissible at a dinner in place of the usual white linen one. At very elaborate dinners women 1 are expected to wear decollette. At din ners given with less formality women wear dresses cut out slightly at the neck, with elbow sleeves. ; Guests at a dinner never fold up their napkins when dinner is finished. Since the napkin will not be used again, it is sufficient to place It on the table un folded as you rise -from the table. The knife is held in the right hand, the fork in the left when cutting. When the knife is not being used it is laid at one side of the plate and the fork tnen used by the right hand to convey the food to the mouth. Never turn the con cave side of the fork up, using it as a sort of shovel. At the conclusion of each course, both knife and fork should be placed side by side, resting wholly on the plate. Spoons are used very llttlo at a dinner, for 'soup and coffee only. Vegetables must be eaten with a fork, not a spoon. Salads must be cut with the fork only, without the aid of a knife; In using a spoon, eat from the side, not the tip of it, and in taking soup, dip the spodVi from you, not towards you. Re member that you are expected to talk at a dinner, as well ' as to eat, hence take small mouth fuls and eat slowly. PRUDKNCK STAND1SH. Baby's Wraps. This Is the. time of year when lamb's wool plays a very important part in the wardrobe of the little ones. The new coach covers' seen In -the shops are all of this fuzzy material, and its great advantage lies In the fact that it cleans "like a rag. Some of the covers are sewn together like an Eskimo sleeping bug. so that no breath of Winter air may chill the tiny tot inside. A lamb's wool mult and tippet and a white coat and hood of imitation caracal complete baby's polar bear appearance. It Is always best to dress the little ones In pure white, with only a touch of color in the ribbon bow at the top of the. hood, for then they look, and can be kept Immaculate. Happily the darker colors for children have gone out of fashion, and tho offspring of the present genera tion wear cheerful raiment. Sweatbrcads With Peas. Take three pairs of sweetbreads and cut each one into four slices, season wlth salt and pepper and roll in flour. Fry in ; porcelain-lined frying-pan in butter for! five or six minutes on each side. Remove I and put on hot platter around the edcej and cover with the following sauce: Mlxj together a scant ounce of butter, a halfi teaspoon of finely chopped parsley, half a teaspoon of finely chopped parsley, half a teaspoon of lemon juice, good pinch j of salt and dash of white pepper. Mix together with a fork and spread over the sweetbreads. In the center of the plat-j ter arrange a can of French peas which have been heated with butter. woman shows the popular basket weave, for all the world like a wall paper pat tern. Running up- and down are three inch stri-pes in fine black and white checks, and. interlacing crosswise or hor izontally, runs another band effect, show ing heavy black with tiny blocks of white scattered over it. At tho distance this looks like bands of ribbon interlacing, and it is said that the fabric will be used for circular skirts to be worn with plain black jackets. It is an impossible design for stout or short women. Very few plain dotted Swisses are seen. Most of them are in checked designs, or stripes with tiny flowers or conventional figures embroidered where the cross-bars meet. The new embroideries- are ex tremely broad and open in design. This will necessitate wearing under Summer frocks, either exquisite lingerie skirts or silk slips. The new lace and embroidered robes show tho border influence, but are fin ished around the bottom with Vandyke points, rather than plain hemstitched or scalloped edges. The smartest neckwear, either collar, and cuff sets or ties and jabots, is done' in fine linen with E-nglish eyelet embroi dery, edged with fine Irish crochet. With' tailored shirtwaists will be worn, by ex tremists, delicately tinted linen collars and cuffs, with ties to match, all em broidered in self-tone. The first showings of small Spring hats for tailored suits display the upturned brim. Several trl-eornered shapes are of fered with - trimmings of stiff ribbons, quills, wings, etc. The first shade hats are English in design and extremely homely. They have low, round crowns, rather broad drooping brims of uniform width all the way round, and they are trimmed with flat scarfs with fringed ends and flat coque or novelty feathers, falling down the back or over the left side. These hats are far more trying to the average face than the mushroom or mandarin hats of the past Winter. MARY DEAN. Pumpkin Soup. Say "Pumpkins" to a New Englander, and he will reply "Pie," but the French man responds "Soup." Pumpkin soup is a regular Winter standby for the French household, and is said to be de licious. In making It allow a quart of milk to one cup of cooked pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin in small pieces, sprinkling light ly with salt and cook in boiling water fcr Ave minutes. Drain off the water, mash thoroughly, and Btir in a tablespoonful of hot melted butter. Pour boiling milk over croutons arranged In soup dish and lightly sugared. Then add the pumpkin, stirring the whole well together and servS. People who ordinarily do not care for the pumpkin flavor find this soup a pleas ant surprise, for in this disguise the pumpkin takes on the flavor of a rich cream of corn. ' .
