BLOUSES FOR FALL AND WINTER
By Dorothy Dale.
THE whits llngsrls blouse which
has boon so much worn for
several seasons past will be
superseded this winter to a
great degree by waists made of silk,
flannel and various materials of the not
washabls variety. Indeed, colored
blouses promise to be mors In vogue
than for several seasons, and several
of the best houses are showing models
of fine lightweight broadoloth. orepe.

silks, chifltbn cloths and suoh fabrics
in various colorings as well as In white.
It must be sdmttted, however, that for
wear with any sort of odd Skirt tbs
white washable blouse Is most desirable,
and colored waists, to look really smart,
should be carefully selected Ho be In
harmony with the salt or skirt with
which thsy are worn.
If a black cloth street suit ia worn,
and It may be said In passing that black
will bo very fashionable for the street
end for general wsar, more latitude Is
i m
allowable In the coloring of these sep
arate blouses, and one can safely se
lect several In various colors without
ths danger of an Inartistic effect.
It Is noticed on a good many of ths
Boot ssadsla ssea that ths ooior of the
suit which the blouae accompanies is
repeated In ths trimming of ths blouse.
Pol Instance, two blouses recently
turned oat by ons of ths New York
houses all hsd touches of black clever
ly introduced, having been designed for
wear with a coat and skirt of black
broadcloth. The first blouse, which was
rather elaborate In style, was of cream
lace ovsr chiffon and silk, ths yoke,
which was Of heavy lace In contrast
to the shssr lace of the blouse, being
outlined by a tracery of pale yellow
and white silk soutache braids piped with
tiny folds of black, Una linos of black
also being Introduced around the collar
top and about ths elbow trimming of ths
short sleeves.
The second blouse, which was for
mors general wear, was of supple light
weight apricot-colored broadcloth. This
waa mads up In plaited shirtwaist
style with rather deep cuffs that but
toned. Ths buttons on ths sleeves were
sot In groups, wore covered with black
satin, and there was a folded girdle
and little) cravat of ths sama
Ths short sleeve Is still much In
favor for waists of the more severe
tailored stylo, and some of the cloth
blouses ars designed to bo worn with, a
detachable white yoke and under
aleeves White turnover collars sad
cuffs ars also very smart, and ars so
generally becoming that they will be
much seen.
Accordion-plaited blouses of soft silk
or crepe to mstch ths costume with
which thsy are to bo worn aro moat
attractive and are very easily made,
as thsy require very little trimming.
A semi-transparent yoke snd collar ars
usually Introduced, and ruffles or lace
generally trim the lower part of ths
short sleeves
Plaids and striped or checked silks are
all used by the blousemakera. but to
many women the plain surfaced mate
rials are more becoming than those of
the more gaily patterned sort. For gen
eral service" ths wash flannels ars to be
recommended. They look best made up
in severe tailored stylo much like the
linen shirtwaists so popular during the
summer, and are worn with a linen col
lar or embroidered turnover and a bow
or four-ln-hand tie of black or colored
silk. A flat patch-pocket Is often set on
at the left side sf these waists, of which
ths sleeves ars mads very much like
those of a man's shirt, with straight
cuffs worn with link buttons.
Two models are shown among the Il
lustrations which are exceptionally
pretty Ip the original. Ths first sketch
was taken from a blouae of pale blue
crepe. The little yoke was of ths crepe
outlined with Inch-wide fine German
Valenciennes Insertion, ths ssctlons of
crepe between the lacs being embroider
ed by band in a small flower design
In pale blue silk. Ths cuffs of the
short sloSres were similarly trimmed,
ths body of ths blouse and sleeves being
formed by two-inch wide strips of ths
crepe gathered on each edge to strips of
the lace insertion, forming puffs. Tho
blouse fastened in the middle of the
back under a strip of the lace. This
model Is also very effective In black
crepe and lacs over either a black or
white lining.
The second drawing was taken from a
white lingerie blouse of eheer French
mull embroidered In shadow work, al
though the same design could be csrrled
out In silk or crepe, the band work being
DRAPING OF WINDOWS
By Bestrlce Carey.
WITH ths coming of cold
weather the summery fur
nishings of ths past sea
son begin to look a little
cheerless, and. by the time October ar
rives, windows and doorways look
rather bare unless thsy are refurnished
with hangings or draperies of suitable
character. The lightweight fabrica of
the warm weather season should be re
done In raised French embroidery. The
upper part of ths blouse was tucked to
yoke depth and was scalloped around ths
nock, ths embroidered collar being
slipped inside. A simple flower pattern
was used for the embroidery garlande,
which ornamented the scalloped caps of
the aleevea aa well aa the front and bark
of too blouae. Pinch tucka run In to
form ovale trimmed the lower part, a
small flower form being embroidered In
the canter of each oral.

A Flower That Blooms for Pons Boars
Only.
If you bars n conservstory you
should by no means be without that
wonderful flower the night-blooming
cereiis. This cactua-ltke plant haa the
curloua property of expanding all Its
blooms at once about 4 0 o'clock on a
hot night. The blossoms sre as large
as plates, purs white and most dellc
lously fragrant. But thsy last for only
three or four hours, and before dawn
are dead and withered.
Oyater Saute. Select fresh oysters of
medium alse. Remove every bit of ahell
adhering; lay them on a pile of crumbs.
The common cracker rolled not too fine
and well seasoned with salt and pepper
Is a favorite mixture for covering the
oysters. Now put a heaping tablespoon
ful of butter in a hot frying pan and
when melted carefully lay In the oysters.
Just as aoon as ths pan Is full, at once
begin to turn over the ones first put In,
adding more butter when needed. They
should be pals brown In color, with the

onos. Lot tbem cook quickly, but watch
or thsy will burn. ThesS ars more dell

placed by tapestries In warm, rich
colors reds, yellows, goldoa browns
and warm tints of green. Simple
draperies that hang In soft plaits or
folds are generally preferred for the
average house to those of the more
elaborate draped style, ths Illustration
showing several good models for hang
ings for windows. As to doorway drap
eries two straight lengths, wide enough
to form graceful folds, even when pulled
together across the door and bung by
rings on a brass of wooden pole, give
the most desirable effect and may be
as handsome as desired, according to
ths material used.
Silk and wool tapestries, brocade or
velvet are usually selected for draper
lea for the downstairs rooms, such as
the drawing-room, dining-room or Mr.
tag-room, while for ths family rooms,
sleeping apartments and so on there are
a great many inexpensive fabrics to be
had In delightful colorings, such aa cot
ton or Juts prints, plain and figured
denims figured chlnts or cretonnes,
linen taffeta and other art cottons.
These are used both for the doors and
wlndowa, ths lattsr requiring two sols
of curtains lace, net madras or some
sheer white or cream-colored material
being used against the window pane,
with the heavier drapery In the form
of a valance and aide curtalna being
hung over these inner ones
A valance Is often used across ths
top of a window, without any side drap
eries at all, but ths styles shown
among the four wlndowa Illustrated are
those most generally used. The first
skstch to ths left of the drawing shows
one of the most simple Ihethnds, and
Is especially good for a bedroom, sitting-room
or such apartment. In one
room seen the curtains were made of
plain color denim, with a flowered band
stitched on the edge of the valance and
down the long curtain, the bedroom In
which theas hangings were seen being
papered) in plain light blue cartridge
paper, with the upper third of the side
wall snd the ceiling of rose flowered
paper, the ourtalna and door hangings
being of pale blue, with pink flowered
bands, barred off, with lines of blue,
which outlined the atrip.
Ths second figure shows draped net
curtalna of heavy ecru net, finished on
the edge with lace braid and looped
back with ecru cotton cords and taasels.
Tho valance was finished by a ruffle
of the net, edged with braid, this ruffle
being set in the festoon effect under
motives of heavy lace, which formed
three deep scallops. Thin panel cur
tains of lace on net should be used next
to the window panes In such a window,
the outside curtains Just described be
ing hung from under a gilt or wooden
coral ds.
Ths third skstch shows a drapsd val
ance and waa sketched from a window
hung in groan silk, ball fringe being
used on the lower edge of the valance
drapery and on the edge of the looped
back aide curtalna.
Figure 4 shows a design which Is es
pecially sultabls In a living-room, li
brary, or dining-room, the illustration
being taken from a set In dark crimson
velour, with a Assign In several colora
appltqued in tho centsr of ths valance,
which was atiffened and edged with
fringe.
In all of the aketchea ahown the
woodwork of the window la almost hid

tho wood ana draperies may bo sst in

of course, shut out more light. Thus,
