The employment of imitation stones in
connection with embroidery and their use
upon fancy huicBknacks is very popular
among skiIlful workers in decorative arts,
as they impart to such articles a sparkling
effect which is very good if carefully man
aged so as to CLEAN out Unexpectedly and
in unlocked for places. The jewels are in
a great variety of tints, and represent TO-
PAGES, both pink and yellow, emeralds,
rubies, sapphires, diamonds, opsls and
aqua marines. Two holes are ready
pierced in each gem, by which it is sewed
on. a very fine needle should be used for
this purpose, but so tiny are the holes
that it is often necessary to pass the silk
through them without any needle at all.
The stitches which hold down the gems
should be as invisible as possible, and for
this reason it is advisable TO choose fine
sewing silk which matches the color of the
stone rs nearly as can be.
A mistake readily made is the mixing of
half dozen colors and kinds of stones
upon the same piece of embroidery. As a
general rule, the result is better when only
two sorts, or at most three, are employed,
and the uncut gems should not be used in
discriminatory with the cut jewels. The
former are generally considered more
suited to linen, sateen and oatmeal cloth,
the latter being better adapted to use upon
plush, silk, satin or velvet.

JEwELED WORKBAG.

The purse shaped workbag, illustrated,
is good example of this way of using
gems. One end is drawn up tightly and
finished with a pair OF large silk tassels,
the other is left straight and ornamented
with row of tiny fancy tassels of various
colors. The bag itself is of rich crimson
velvet, lined with cream colored silk and
closed with two large ivory rings; the
straight end is decorated with four rows of
ieweIed stars; at the bottom the jewels are
of two shapes, oval and round; they are
like pale aqua marines in color, and are ar
ranged around yellow topaz, which forms
the center of the star; the first and third
rows are alike, and in these the rays OF the
star are formed by eight long stitches of
yellowish cream chenille, radiating from
yellow topaz; the second row is similar,
but the chenille is pale blue instead Of yell
low; the stars in each row alternate with
those in the preceding row.

A popular color for morning suits is
brown. There are dozens of shades of that
color. The russell browns and the dull
browns in which there is slight min.
CLING OF gray are the shades that go of
best. Trousers have undergone some
slight alterations as regards shape since
last year. They are straight and OF me-
dunn width. The English style follows
the shape of a pegtop somewhat, and are
worn loose at the knees and tight over the
boots. Stripe patsrns are, perhaps, con-
sidered better taste than checks.
The frock coat is more fashionable than
ever, and only in few details does it show
any change in shape, the most marked
feature being the increased length of the
skirts. y frock coat is considered to look
very elegant On tall men with good figures,
but neither very tall, thin man nor a lit
tie stout man finds it as becoming TO the
figure rs q sack coat.

colored skirts of silk or of the less expeu-
slve zephyr cottons, Chambery or mohair.
When worn in the house they are of DO
nestle muslin or cambria, or of French
percale. and are Numbered entirely without
starch to avoid the noisy rustic of stiffened
cotton. They are two yards and quarter
wide at the foot, and are close gored at the
top TO fit the figure smoothly in front and
on the hips, all the fullness being adjusted
at the back by drawing string. They are
trimmed with one or two scant ruffies of
scalloped embroidery or of cambria with
tucks and insertion above hem. Short
independents OF muslin or cambria are
closed in the back the front being faced
like yoke, and the back furnished with
drawing string.
Undervests of ribbed silk in lightweight
for summer wear come in flesh pink, cream
and lilac tinJs. Mixed wool and silk vests
are apt to shrink; those of Lisle thread are
cool and wear wallpapers Bazaar

Fashionable Lingerie.

Embroidery and laces are the trimmings
on fine lingerie. All undergarments are
more nearly fitted to the figure than they
ever have been. Drawers are worn short,
reaching only to the knee, and are made
extra wide. French garments have no
belts, not even those of yoke shape The
top of the wide drawers is faced or hemmed
an inch deep, the front curved as a yoke,
and drawing strings are put through the
facing to draw the ample width about the
waist. The chemises most used suggest
combination of the corset cover and short
underpetticoat.

To Make Wall Paper Stick.

A dealer in wall papers gives the follow
ing directions for making paper stick to
rough walls: First, take block of wood
about as large as your hand and rub the
wall all over. This will take off all the
rough plaster. Then, if you have very
heavy paper to put on, dissolve one pound
of good glue in pail OF boiling water and
apply with brush TO the whole surface to
be papered, being especially careful to cover
the edges or corners next to woodwork. A
thin paste applied in the same way will be
sufficient if ordinary paper is to be used,
always taking care to cover the edges and
corners.

Lace in the deep founcing width has
been a great deal used in trimming Gre
pons and cottons. 1t sounds homogeneous
to trim a simple spotted or figured print
with a foEnce of deep lace round the skirt
and basque, but SO fashion dictates On a
tall figure the effect is good, and on some
cottons the lace appears in good taste.
Lately there is a tendency to use as trim
ming creamy white lace in place of the
black that Is so fashionable.
Undoubtedly pink and black are a favor

and collars. The pink corresponds in
shade with the roses in the hat or bonnet.
