A CHICAGO GIRLS SECRET.
She Says That Swiss Worn Over
White Wash Silk Has the Eff
feet Of organdy.

Where did you get that exquisite or
candle Waist?" asked a girl the other
day of a friend who wore dainty crea-
ton that buttoned up the back with tiny
lace buttons.
..Tll let you into the secret, said the
friend. ut is not q particularly fine
organdy or swiss, rather. for it is swiss,
which washes better than the organdy
but it looks so, because wear it over
the thinnest kind of a white wash silk
blouse, which is made plainly, but along
the same lines. This gives the swiss q
cloudy, filmy and kind of billowy eff
feet, that makes it look like chiffon.
1t throws up each little thread of the
lace trimming, SO that it appears like
something costly instead Of the ordinary
wash valenciennes, which it is. Andit
gives soft effect to the skin.
ssThe lining, too, saves the swiss. SO
that by washing it out in the wash bowl
md pressing it when nearly dry the
waist itself can be worn two or three
times without doing up. Besides all this.
Instead OF having to lay the whole thing
away this fall, I intend to wear it with
The lining all winter. Try it yourself,
added the girl, generously. "but be sure
and get the softest and lightest silk pos
sible, as more expensive quality will
rot mix so artistically with the waist
fabric and look so much like part OF it. s

DESIGNS FOR SILK QUILTS.
Our Grandnothers and Mothers Took
Delight in Doing This Use
full Fancy Work.

In order to make an effective quilt
the silk pieces must be carefully as
sorted, placing the very dark and the
very light in separate piles The me-
dunn shades can be used as light only
when combined with black or the dark
greens, browns or blues. II there is a

frequently advisable TO dye part Of the

from the crazy-work effect.

makes most beautiful quilt and uses
the small pieces. Exactness in cutting
is very necessary. # the rows Of
small blocks with which the large
blocks are united can be made uniform
in color, the effect is much more pleas

The New York Tribune says thai
a running pattern of boWknots and
flowers, with the stems and tendrlls
put in with embroidery silk or linen
floss, according to the kind of ribbon
employed, is the easiest and prettiest.
Trace q design something in the char
acter of the example given with a
hard pencil lightly on the material.
The bowknots are laid on with the
braid or ribbon, gathering the latter
ON one side to make the required
turns. When the fat work is finished
thread a darning needle with the mar
row fat ribbon or braid and make the
leaves. This is done by taking one
stitch of the length required and then
turning in the edges to make a sharp
point at one end, shaping the teal
with the fingers to the rounded end,
which is attached to the stem by an
embroidery stitch. Round flowers may
be made either by gathering the rib
bon to point and sewing on the little
round disk, or, as in the case with
daisies, making the petals by one long
stitch like the leaves The running
design given in the illustration has
been carried out on pale green linen

TALK ABOUT RIBBON WORK.
It Produces the Most Effective and
Most Rapid Results in En-
broidery Known.

Ribbon work is supposed to be diff
cult and tedious. The reason for this
is that it was introduced by the shops
that supply deliberately designed
pieces OF embroidery to their patrons,
in patterns combined with embroidery
and with tiny gros grain ribbon IN
pale tints manufactured for the pur-
pose. The patterns were of the Louis
XIV. and Louis XVI. type, and the ef-
feet of the heavy garlands and eIas=
crate stitching was cerainly extremely
beautiful and well worth the long and
tedious work which it necessitated.
but the patience and close application
the large, intricate pieces required
acted as a deterrent to the majority
of workers. who wish quick results
and easy methods Ribbon work,
however, is really easy and produces
the most effective and most rapid re-
suits in embroidery known. With
