udvantngo of tho dates over meat Is

Dates with various cooked cereaW
aro alwayB liked and are especially

to bo painted In " All tho painters'
wives wero expert models for their
husbands patiently Bitting nnd stand
ing In doorwnjs and windows under
trees In meadows out In the broiling
sun or In damp and dirty boats on
tho llttlo river. Gowns to poso In
must be colorful nnd graceful iibovo
all thoy had to bo cheap ns tho colony
In those days was composed of hard
workers on tho way up tho ladder of
fame though several of them hnvo
since arrived at tho top. So tho
ladles set their wits to work nnd some-
body thought of cretonne and cry
soon they wero nil posing In coats
and other garments mado of It shad-
ing their heads with Japancso para-
sols. Now hero It Is In America mado
up Into gardening dresses both pretty
and practical. Tho pattern on tho
fabric must be chosen carefully for
only ono among dozens Is realty
Rdaptcd to clothes. Smnll figures aro
best; the gowns seen recently wero
all of closely patterned designs. Somo
of them wero like big painting nprons
cut out deeply nt tho iicck and under
tho arms with serviceable pockets In
front nnd worn with whlto gulmpcs
with elbow sleeves nnd simple turned-
down collars. Tho brctello-lden was
used for others the skirt being mado
of the cretonne nnd n sort of skeleton
waist nddod consisting of shoulder-
joko with three straps down the front
nnd thrco down tho back buttoned
conspicuously to tho bolt and worn
over a whlto blouse
There wero natty skirts of cre-
tonne to bo worn with blouses or
with tho now English smocks Tho
patterns chosen wero not nlwnys quite
appropriate It Is so easy. In choos-
ing cretonne to look liko perambulat-
ing bedroom furniture!
Tho best of them wero tho wnall-
flowered designs nnd tho awning
stripes. These last wero most attrac
tlvo. A clear medium blue boldly
Btrlpcd with a group of black nnd
white lines was plaited Into a hip-
j oka so that only tho bluo remained
vlslblo nt tho top A two Inch green
nnd white stripe wns treated In the
samo way and there wero excellent
skirts In black and whlto and pink
and white combinations
These striped skirts are especially
Intended to be worn with tho colored
llnon smocks on which the feminine
world Is going somowhnt crazy. A

With n Bhnrp chisel and a hammer

POCKET EASY TO FASHION
Adjustable and May Be Quickly Made
by Those at All Skilled In
Embroidery Work.
For fear that one of jour whlto
skirts or a silk gown will not come
prepared with the omnipresent pocket
there Is n delightful separate pocket
arrangement to be slipped over a
leather or fabric belt upon which tho
quick embroiderer may spend a profit-
able hour or bo. Ono white crepe do
chlno dress exploited a pair of these
pockets strapped over a dark blue
shade of bluo. Tho pockets nro cut
much liko an envelope with the two
straps Instead of n flap buttoning at
each end of the cn scent shaped open-

tons sewed on with the samo color as
used for tho embroidery. A pair of
these pockets worn on each hip ovor a
whlto linen skirt glvo tho effect of a
Bmart yoked model and are really prac-
tical enough to hold a handkerchief

Among tho smartest of tho new
shado huts aro taffeta or moire sailors

Whether to be worn to gather vege-
tables or flowers from the garden or
to go a marketing In the morning or
for tho drive about the country ovary

And It seems she Is destined to be
gratified for tho garden hats and sun-
bonnets of today aro ns carefully
planned as tho dress lints with which

tho critical ejes of their peers.
Cretonnes ginghams chambrays nnd

brought Into unfamiliar service and

made headwear that Is Illustrated In
tho ptcturo given hero Even the
plain UUIu sunbonnot manages to bo
becoming and prettily frivolous while
It fulfills Us mUslou of shading tho
eyes and protecting the neck.
Some of tho now eotton fabrics such
as cotton gabardine or cotton poplin
are of Juat the right weight and body
for these protty bonnets. Plain whlto
tnpo or binding braid makes an at-
tractive finish and adds to the firmness
of edges uud shapeliness of the capes
aud brims. Thero Is qulto a variety
In paper patterns for making then and
they are designed to bo easily laun-
dered. Thoro aro tho time-honored

A garden hat Is shown mado of plain
chambray for the brim with a puffed
cron mado of figured cretonne. One
hardly needs a pattern for a hat so
simple as this but tho standard pat-
tern companies furnish such patterns.
Tho brim Is n circle of butcher's llnex
covered with tho plain chambray od
both sides It is stiffened with rows
of machine stitching. Tho crown la
this hat Is made of a small circular
piece of the linen covered with cre-
tonne with a puff of the cretonno
pat here 1 Into it. The lower edgo of
tho puff Is tarneu up and gathered
and sewed to tho brim There la a
band of njlk braid aboat tho crown

A stiffened capo at tho back mar
