Embroidered Novelties.

Sofa Pillow.-A pillow of dark blue
linen with two flags embroidered on
it in white wash silk to represent the
United States navy is very striking;
being simply finished with white cord
and tassel at each corner.
Hat Pin Cushions These may be
made by fitting into tall glass vases
thin long cushions stuffed with curled
hair or black moss. Cover the cush-
ion with colored silk and at the OPEN
ing of the vase embroider a scroll de-
sign in gold with twisted embroidery.
Corn Naplkin.-Another novelty,
both useful and ornamental. Useful
because the ear of corn wrapped in it
remains hot and does not become sog-
gy. IT is made of half yard of linen,
hemstitched and fringed. On one cor
ner is worked in Kensington an ear
of corn with the "shuck' partly torn
away, revealing the rows of yellow
corn. The effect is beautiful when the
colors are carefully selected. The
grains of corn should be Of pale yell
low Japan floss, Nos. 646-64S. The
husk of green, Nos. 432-435.
Rolling Pin Bag.-This is made OF
heavy linen and drawn up with rib
bon, and with rolling pin or short
motto outlined on outside. M. M.

Hair Dressing.

A reader of the Agriculturist has
asked for suggestions regarding style
for dressing young girls hair.
Long braids were never worn more es-
pecially upon girls from fourteen to
eighteen, girls with long dresses Of
ten sporting a single "pigtaiP'-or
twin braids.
The hair is first parted in the mid
die, then small quantity is taken
out at each side, from the top of head
to the ears, this portion is twisted
(upwards) then carried to the back
and gathered into the braid or braids.
When wearing but one braid these
twists are sometimes tied at the back
of neck before being braided in.
Those blessed with naturally curl
ing hair do not need this ''building
OUT by twists, waves, etc., and one
often sees them with hair tied at the
back without twists, then the remain
der braided as before, making two
bows necessary.
Never tie the braid near the end, but
tie it before it begins to spindle" too
much; only black ribbon or velvet is
now used, except of course upon
young children. For more "grown-
up styles, come two, the braided and
twisted demi-coffures.
Part the hair in the middle divide
out the ear pieces as described above,
twist and carry them to the crown OF
head. where the remainder of hair has
also been gathered, then braid it
downwards, starting it quite tight at
the crown then braiding it somewhat
looser as you proceed; double the
braid under, fiatten it "a little by pull
inc it out horizontally, then pin to the
head, being careful to conceal the
small end.
The twisted style begins at the
crown in the self same manner, only
the hair is to be twisted very hard,
SO hard that when you slacken from
the end, it will double upon itself and
make a doubled twist as when we
twist Irvine to make homemade
rope.

A Gown for Autumn.

At the close of the summer season
every woman is likely to find herself

neck, and pin the twist carefully, con.
cealing the wisp-end underneath.
Bows are not used upon the twist
but upon the braid, halfway between
crown and neck. They should not be
too large and may be either pinned
on or tied into the braid.
Those with low foreheads and pref
tily shaped heads should wear their
hair without parts of any sort, (parts
thin the hair, unless changed often)
this will be becoming if a few loose
short curls are worn at each side OF
the forehead. The hair dresser tells
us the pointed curly bang is to be the
vogue this winter, but it is needless
to say that those to whom pompadour
and parts are becoming will continue
to wear pompadour and parts, and
that is where the independence of
American women is exhibited; they
wear the couture best suited to them,
Notwithstanding the edicts of the
tickle dame, Fashion.
In a large convention of two thou
sand Endeavorers the majority of
young women had their hair in one OF
these two styles, which are popular
because they seem to be becoming to
nearly ALL
AS a rule unless woman or girl
has an abundance of leisure she neg
lects to wash her hair thinking a
semi-annual ablution sufficient.
This is not sufficient; especially in
Florida, where abundant tresses soon
grow sour and musty in hot weather
Physicians and professional hair
dressers tell us to wash the hair at
least once a month, and in mid-sum-
mer once week if possible.
1t is not great task when once you
get at it, and while it is drying you
may sit in the sun or air and enjoy
the last magazine.
Soap paste is capital for shampoo
ing, you probably know how it is
made-shave one and one-half ounces
of fine grade of soap into one pint OF
boiling water, boil five minutes then
cool; pour it into a bottle both for
convenience at the time, also to keep
it well, Git keeps nicely if corked)
then pour little on the head part
ing the hair in different places, then
rub it we'll into the scalp with the
fnger-tips; don't be afraid Of vigor'
Gus rubbing, (the scalp needs the eX
ercise) or of using the paste, Git is
perfectly harmless, yet an excellent
cleanser); pour some Of it upon the
long hair, immerse it in basin Of
warm water and rub it between the
hands as you would rub soiled gar
ment; rinse scalp and hair thoroughly
using warm water, wiring hair with
the hands, then wipe with towel I'M
til the greater amount of water is
absorbed, after which sit in the SUI
or fan the hair until it dries. Ii Wom
en- shampoed their heads after this
fashion, there would be fewer balo

may be interesting to those who are
economically inclined, to know how
to make their autumn gowns at the
least expense.
10 begin with, look over your ward
robe, and see if there are not several
dresses that it would pay you to make
over. Get them all together, and do
your planning. Rip the seams with
a pair OF small scissors, taking care
not to stretch or cut the pieces. II
may be possible that the material can
| be turned. If so, brush thoroughly,
lay damp cloth on the right side,
and press it until it is quite smooth
and fresh looking. Other goods look
well after being washed with water
in which soap bark chips have been
| boiled. But if the color is not de,
sira BILE one or it is faded, which is usu-
| ally the case, it is best to dye it some
| darker color or black with diamond
dye. Any color may be obtained, and
| it is easy to use.
When good heavy Innings have been
if the pieces are not stretched out of
shape they can be used again. But
if the Innings are of thin cambria it
is better to buy new ones than to
spoil the "hang" of the skirt for want
of them. Waist lining can seldom be
| used second time but new ones are
not expensive.
Many changes can be made in the
old dresses that will bring them "up-
| to-date." In fact the styles this sea-
son are extremely favorable to MAX
ing over. If, after renovating the
skirts you find them too short, piece
them out to the required length, then
cover the piecing with ruffies, braid
or folds. Many Of the most stylish
skirts are trimmed this season. The
| plain waist is made presentable in
various ways. A fancy yoke, :bolero
| fronts, or full fronts of silk may be
used to make it more elaborate, or to
| hide worn places. If the sleeves are
large, get pattern of one of the new
styles and, little care in planning
will often enable you to cut new
sleeves, discarding the worn portions
of the old ones.
In spite of all the gorgeous hued
materials shown on the dry goods
counters, black is the favorite, es-
pecially for skirts. Black silk is nice
ly renovated in the following manner.
Put three or four old kid gloves in a
pint of soft water, and let them boil
for one hour, then strain through a
cloth, and put in the liquid quart
of hot water and tablespoonful of
borax. Lay your silk fiat on per-
fectly clean table, and sponge it with
the mixture until it was saturated
and all soiled places cleansed Have
ready tub of warm water in which
a liberal quantity of borax has been
dissolved. pick the silk up by the cor
ners, and dip till it is we'll rinsed, but
do not wiring it. Take it out to the
