Perhaps the newest Of these will be
found in the English vestings. These are
the goods which English tailors use for
making mems fancy vests, an article of
fashion which has hitherto been far more
popular and general on the other side of
the herring pond than it has been here
among men who aim to be correct dress
ers. Last spring we had a foretaste, a
soupcon of what the future held in store
in the matter of these vestings, but all
that we got of them only created an appe-
tite for more, and the demand went out
for newer colorings, newer patterns and
varying weights of weave and texture.
Many Of the new vestings show a back
ground woven in the Marseilles patterns
on which a figure, square, an oblong or
diamond as the case may be, Is woven
In contrasting color. Some attractive
patterns have block woven in a cross
stitch; others present a basket pattern;

CHAPLETS IN VOGUE

- New York Press:
The vogue of leaves and chaplets for
head dress is more pronounced than ever
and even matrons past the period of middle
allegiance to this fashion. Green leaves are
in best favor altho laurel leaves in gold are
used for more elaborate toilets. 1t is said
that in view of the fashion, silversmiths are
preparing chaplets of precious metals using
the; head dress Of the ancients for patterns

have given way before the leaf, effects, and
the latter gives the wearer statelier and
more classic tone. The leaves suitable
for married women while the wreaths of
roses and buds belong strictly to younger
girls.
Everyone comedies that the flower wreath
craze was created from Miss Alice Roosevelt,
but the chaplet vogue has been forced into
fashion by Mrs James A. Burden, Jr., Mrs.
sloane's daughter, who has persisted in a
singularly becoming head dress of green
leaves all winter: Miss Beatrice Mills wore

smooth green petals looked well in her light

Mehairs, of course, are prime favorites,
since they are silky and pliable and what
is better still, wear to the last thread.

tones, and when made up with appliqued

In the silk shirt waists, besides the
regulation tailored article, there are to
be seen many fancy effects. The early
Victorian styles with their long shoulder
seam, little caps and 1chu effects, and
pointed belt, all lend themselves we'll to
the soft silk which are in vogue
The damasse linens which were an ex-
IRENE novelty in the spring have reap

luster. They are preferably made up in
the severe tailored style. side plaits usual

while the sleeve Is tight at the armhele,
widening to deep saggtng puff above the

For a bed coverlet nothing could be more effec-

the Insertion in rows alternating with stripes OF

The coverlet may be simpler, with the entire
body of the grenadine and border Of inserting

The work is easy and rapid to any one accus-
toned to the crochet hook. Make eight loops
around a central ring, follow with second series
of loops around the same ring. and placed be-
tween the first loop as in the illustration.
On the tip of each loop of the second series
place triple, clover shaped loop. Join them
with first series of loops by two stitches as in
design. Now, around the central tips of the
clover loops run chain shown in the illus

tailor would insist on making it tight

always he drew 1t sharply down into the
belt, allowing no extra material to fur

so becoming to every class of figure.
The dressmaker was even more dis
agreeable about making shirt waists
There was no chance whatever to run in
a bill for whalebones, seam bindings, etc.,

In the soft mulls and batistes, stirring

is applied lavishly. Even real lace is
not considered too good for these dainty
little blouses which preferably button
in the back. When so fastened the en-
tire front is then available for decora-

And speaking of hand embroideries,

A decidedly Oriental effect is obtained
by using the letters Of the Chinese alpha

the body of the letter being worked in
say a globelin blue, this couched around
with heavy black and a golden brown
thread marking the extreme edge. A
