that In that city a beautiful crystal
ware is manufactured. resembling fine

He says this ware can come into vio-

Some Novelties
For Needlewomen

There are still some persons who have
difficulty IN making French knots. It
is very easy 20 make them If you know
how Make first a small firm knot.
Commence at the top and pass the
needle through the work close to the
land. Take one stitch on the right
side, right over the spot where the
knot Is or the back. Then set the
needle IN the work at the same spot.
Wind the silk around the point Of the
needle as many times as the size Of the
knot you wish TO make may require.
Wonderful things can be done with
the needle in the way OF making pretty
little things for ones Bedroom. For
instance. a hat pin holder is both pretty
and useful, and is made narrow and
long, Of either plain or figured silk. The
tor IS gathered into a TUffie and a loop

and runs for the most IN tinted varie-
ties. All kinds Of lace, hut principally
AlencOn, Mechlin, and Brussels, are pro-
vided IN most fashionable colors, both
light and dark. These are usually
dipped laces; few are originally woven
in color One OF the latest additions
to the list Is colored crochet wheels,
which make up very pretty transparent
shapes, with bordering of straw
braids around the edge. Besides PLAIN
tule for making drawn gathered shapes.
there is a considerable demand for
sprigged and spotted net. In some of
these the spots are woven in the fabrics.
and others have chenille, velvet or gold
spots, or sequins put on by hand. Small
sequins stamped out In the shape of
sprlgs are used. Sequins are also laid in
clusters TO form cabOChOns.
