Fancy Work.


New York Ledger.
In decoration for the house there are
some desirable novelties. One of the most
sensible is lounge cover. made somewhat
after the fashion of the Turkish striped
covers that have been SO popular. This is
made from strips of natural colored home
spun linen. The stripes are about twelve
inches wide and are embroidered in various
spreading and open patterns, lattices, vines
and leaves. When finished, these stripes are
provided with crochet edges with loops
through which braid or cord Is run to lace
the stripes together. There is about half
an inch of space between the edges, and
when this is filled in with a ribbon or gal
loon 1t is very pretty.
Ribbon work is fashionable and extremely
effective for the amount of labor bestowed
upon it. Ordinary taffeta ribbon is used,
and what is known as seam binding is USE
full A chrysanthemum made of seam bind
ing ribbon is very attractive. A cover for
a lounge is made OF stripes of satin in black
of a Princeton student who is extravagantly
luxurious in his tastes when under his own
roof. The embroidery was conventionalized
chrysanthemums. On the yellow stripes the
flowers are made of white ribbon with picot
edge. The stems are embroidered in natural
colored chenille and silks. On the black
stripes are heliotrope, old rose and yellow
flowers. The stripes are lined with velvet
and set together with green satin the color
of the leaves and stalks. This joining stripe
is an inch wide, and is set underneath the
edges of the pieces which il joins. On these
extreme edges are sewed at intervals OF half
an inch tiny crochet rings IN alternate black
and orange. Through these rings are laced
black and orange ribbons over the green
space. At the ends there are tasseis of
orange and black ribbons The lining Is
orange colored velvet, and black satin rib
cred down with feather stitching in orange
cord silk

The Ugly Girls Opportunity.


The girl who is distinctly ugly is hav-
ing lovely time, for fashion has at last
come her way, thanks to Aubrey Boards
ley and to the poster craze. 1t is only
imperative that a girl should have in
diyiduality and be interesting; then the
homeler she is, the better. Indeed, the
merely pretty girls are in despair. be-
cause such one simply ruins her effect
If she attempts the grotesque in dress or
hat or headwear, while the ugly girl is
instantly rendered distinctive by such a
piece of audacity, and to be distinctive
above all to be auoaciously distinctive
who dares and whose triumphant ugliness
permits her to rear upon the sable aban-
donment of her tresses nodding plume,
set gloriously awry, is the girl VINO WHO'S is
to accomplish the trick with BOWS rather
than with plumes, then here is model
Made of brocaded black felt and chenille.
with wide poke front to the brim that
narrows toward the back, this hats low
crown is encircled with small rosettes Of
black satin ribbon, striped with three rows
of velvet at each edge. In front three
loops rise and are held in place by a fancy
buckle. AT each side of the back three
small loops are placed, and from these
start two ribbons that form the tie strings,
which must be wide and long. Ii the
bows at neck and upon the hat are pur-
posely set askew, the effect is intensified,
but this is not always desirable.
The effect of this freakish development
isn't felt alone in headgear. The woman
whose shoulders are actually bony, who
can wear a pumpkin seed color gown, bare
her shoulders, let her hair hang down
over her ears so the tips OF them show
at the back, then put long trail of
scarlet flowers in the curved ear lock, sit
with her back queerly bent and look as
is she were all right, whether you like her
or not, she is the girl the men are look
ing at just now. Your poor. little pink
and white girl with golden hair and a
hf. cir avIxr Lost in,
such rig. To be trumphantly ugly and
to look as If you liked it, that is the secret,
and, to tell the truth, the belle. of last
and years has been the belle and who ex-
pected, of course, to be the belle now,
this is the girl who is tearing out her hair.
