HINTS ON DRESS

Parasols should be carried on Sun-day.

Persons attending services in poorly heated churches are justified in making a cloak of their religion.

Eton jackets may be worn at the dinner table.

Silks with watered effects are popular with milkmen's wives.

The smart set is devoting a good deal of attention of late to the costuming of house dogs. Embroidered blankets during the winter and short pants during the hot summer weather are quite popular.

Shrinkable dress-patterns should always be sponged before they are made up, but the custom of putting an overcoat in ”soak” after it has been worn awhile is still followed by gentlemen who are financially embarra.s.sed.
