The MilIiner's Blue Rose.

One of the astonishing millinery
fsncies of the year is the blue rose.
Such a flower never sprouted on the
earth's surface, but built in shaded
velvet, crimpy silk or even cleverly
tinted muslin, 1t is bewitching on the
summer hat of lace or maine.
The girl who likes to wear blue and
is a-weary Of ragged robins and for
get-me-nots greets the blue rose with
enthusiasm and uses it in profusion.
Another blue blossom which has
made its appearance is the hyacinth,
but it must be used with discretion.
An imported hat in a peculiar shade,
bordering on navy blue, is trimmed
with these hyacinths and ribbon
which matches the bloom.
In certain light, the entire confec-
ton shades to blue turn 1t toward the
sun and it shows violet tints.

Tucks of all widths are noted on
new dresses.
Coarse laces trim the canvas fab.
RIGS to perfection.
Elaboration is the keynote Of the
season in dressdom.
Nets printed in cloudy Dresden
effects are very attractive.
Shoulder trimmings droop in pseudo
grandmama style.
Daisies and buttercups are reap
pesring as millinery blossoms.
A panel front makes round and
round trimmings possible for the stout
woman.
The newest skirt tuckings turn
toward the front and taper to point
at the knee.
Colors will be more Of a feature
in women's handkerchiefs than they
have been in many seasons.
The red hat'is the correct thing to
wear with a black and white striped
or checked gown.

Nice For Toilet.

Hand-embroidered towels are the
latest vogue in towels for actual use
where something specially nice is de-
sired. The embroidery is done on
plain, fine huckaback or other fine
towel fabric taking the place Of
damask or other decoration. A deep
hemstiched hem is the usual finish,
and one end only is embroidered.
Decorative towels, for decorative pur.
poses only, come with deep-knotted
fringes elaborate borders of drawn
work, medallions of old Venetian or
other decorative laces. And Italian
macrame towels have deep fringes
very deliberately and artistically
knotted.
