OK eyed daisy, yellow with brown
center, white with yellow center, or,
if a smaller dot is used, the little
purple and pink daisies can be rep
resented. If the room in which the
spread is to be used is furnished
with any particular color, then of
course the shams must correspond,
but if there is no particular tone in
the adornments then very pretty
idea is to have variety of daisies.
To form the flower begin at the edge
of one of the dots and bring the
needle back on the outside of the
swiss the length of the petal of the
back to the dot and as close as posi-
BILE to the starting point. In this
way each petal is formed by one big
loop, which must be tackled in the
center of the outer edge. One can
use ones own discretion about the
size of the flower, but from IL to Is
loops will make a good size, and
some may be larger than others,
while still others can have petals on
but one side, and they should be
scattered over the spread so as not
to come too thick when the breadths
are sewed together. The centers
should be covered with French
knots. This can be edged with lace,
fringe or ruffie of plain swiss.

The Beautiful, the HOrrid Jersey Waist.
The jersey waist has come upon us
again in all its contradictoriness.
There never yet was waist at once
so pretty and so ugly. 1t is pretty
when filled with plump little wo-
man, whose grace is accentuated by
its moulding of itself to fit the figure,
and it is the ugliest, most unsightly
and slimpsy rag in the world before
it is put on. The very fleXibility
which gives it's chief beauty of con-
forming to the figure it adOrns,is the
cause of its raggy appearance. No
one could believe that one of those
wretched looking things was twin
sister to the one on the newest girl.
The Jersey waist being here, let us
say word about them. There are
some Just plainly woven, with no
trimming beyond the buttons and
perhaps feeble attempt at revers.
Others are richly trimmed with
braid in various designs. Some have
fancy yokes and buttons at the sides.
A few have silk sleeves, or jersey
sleeves, finished with puffs of vari-
Gus sorts. Some have velvet collars
and cuffs, and others are richly gar
nished with Jet passementerie. The
most of them are of cashmere woven
wool, but there are some silk ones,
and a good many thick fleece lined
ones. These latter are deliciously
warm and cozy. And in every way
Jersey waist is a comfort. The
mesh is so flexible, like knitting,
that person can realize that she is
alive and in the possession of her
faculties.

The Delightful Little Tea Jacket.
Tea Jackets are out in force, and
are made of pompadour silks, light
taffeta in irridescent effects, and a
few in rich brocades. All these are
lavishly adorned with lace, ribbons
and spangles and metal headings
These convenient and beautiful
; Jackets have almost usurped the
place of the tea-gown. They are
much less expensive, may be made
quite as becoming, and as fancy OF
plain as desired.
