Fruit play* an Important part In the 'a* hi or. s this summer. There are many fruit-trimmed hat* which vie n loveliness with the flower laden creations. Stock collars, balls And veils are frequently embroidered In a fruit design. Among the newest of he chiffon veils used a* a hat drapsry are those in dark blue or black rbiffon. with a hemstitched border laving the long ends embroidered in white silk in a design of cherries. Then here are fruit hatpins, to say nothing if the belt buckles which simulate fruit 4n their design and are most realistic as to their coloring.—R oman's Horn* Companion. Hints About Gloves. This Is the proper way to treat a glove: When you spy a tiny hole, mend It without delay that It may not Increase In slxe. Mend It on the inside of the glove with fine cotton of the rame color as the kid. Do not use Ulk. for it soon wears out. Never break off your cotton, but cut tt. so as not to draw your stitches too tightly and make the seam hard and uneven. When sewing a split In a flnfer seam, insert a finger Into the glove »ad draw the edges together so that they meei. and that Is all; a ridge would not only be uncomfortable, but would look unsightly. When a glove is too small and silts, tt Is worse than useless to sew up the rent. It mus* be patched. The patch must be of kid of the same color. A Smart Wash Ribbon. Though Dame Fashion may think snly of the rich, manufacturers consider the woman whose Income is limited. Thus they devla* clever things by which she can achieve a good appearance at little outlay. One of these is a canvas ribbon that will wash at satisfactorily as any of the summer’s wash dress goods. Yet It is Just as pretty as a ribbon not

Given one white frock and half a dozen of the new floral sashes and the summer girl can ring six bewitching changes on her toilet. There Is first the rose sash. That part which encircles the waist Is mads of over-lapping green silk roes leaves, while the two long ends are composed entirely of pink roses (arttflclal. of course) and foliage. ^ Then' there Is the forget-me-not sash, with a belt of blue satin, finely tucked, and for ends long sprays of dainty forget-me-nots. Another pretty floral sash has a belt of alternate bands of clover-pink and green ribbons, and the sash ends aro made of long-stemmed pink clover* and clover leaves. A daisy sash is charming, with its pleated belt of while satin and floating ends of golden-hearted daisies. There may be poppy sashes, pansy Sashes, illy sashes, lilac sashes, or cashes of almost any dainty bloom, with belt of leaves or at fit^r shaded satin. ‘ The effect Is good not only on white frocks, but on evening gowns of black

lace mr net.

Sashes of narrow black and cream lace insertion are a novelty for thin frocks, while with gowns or either cloth or silk a sash of soft silk, with fringed and knotted ends will be worn.

black dots.

Artistically colored laces are quit* the latest craze aa. a trimming for summer dresses. rather severely plain style o(. dressing Is by far the smartest mode at present for Juveniles. Russian and Egyptian embroideries In red. blue and black give a smart touch to cloth costumes. Belt buckles In cut steel, silver, filigree gold or stone set oxidized are of varied and beautiful design. Canvas dresses will be much worn. Belts of suede In gray, drab or brown are worn with shirtwaists. Fine cloths will be worn throughout e summer In light bine, such as Delft and sky, pink and the teaderest lettuce green. The close-fitting front corset cover is In n small minority this season, all the more desirable trimming styles having failed fronts.

In many continental European coma unities It le considered bad luck to praise the beauty of a child. The jtrange does not win gratitude but the reverie, by saying. “What a pretty laby!" Even the most loving mother nay under the circumstances respond ay scowling and calling the child a

In Japan a similar feeling survive* In n rule of politeness. It la not leemly to refer to one'a possessions or family in terms complimentary. “My disgracefully squalid home,'’ “my stupid son.” are expressions more po Ute to native than to foreign ears.
