the thin white or daintily colorsa gown.
As an accessory FOR the silk, Tole or
Chalile frOCk. there is nothing more
graceful or chic for a finish around the
shoulders. The girl who mas IN ner
possession rare cid pieces of Irish point
or other beautiful Iaces. can utilize
them 10 no better advantage than Oh
fashioniog At least enc such hohu for
herself
Spanish lace makes charming hchus.
and the tbree-e0rnered mantula may
serve a double purpose. When worn
for q dchu, the back is laid 90 cross
wise folds, and caught TO the top Of
the bodice 50 il viii stay I'm position
The long ends are then tied In front,
and are permitted 10 hang gracefully
where they will, one worn with
vielet wolfe had black velvet rosettes
on the ends and a large chou Of black
velvet ribbon where So closed, a tribe
to the left side.
The finishing touch Of a. champagne
wolfe gown was q tchU Of SOFT pOin-
d'esprit, which was made circular IN
thrae sections, one ana thr6e-tOurJh
yards long and twelve inches wide.
It vas made pointed In trent by
slanting cut from The outer edge hTe-
eighths Of a yard from The ends. The
edge was finished with three rows Of
black chenille cord, stitched with
white silk thread. The 6Chu was fast
eued 20 the waist just above the bust
line with rosettes of black velvet rib
bon.
Since the handkerchief craze came
in, All sorts CT ideas nave been evolved
fer the use Of these squares. The new
est fad is to take a. mans large silk
handkerchief, cut a circular hole In the
center about eight inches deep. then
slash the silk from this center 10 one
p5iaL. This laaVeB a deep hOuuCe which
hangs in the most graceful folds, and
which may be used GA the edge Of In
dia silk for a fichu. The finish 10 z red
gown was such a fChu made Of red
silk bandanna-
Although the soft white ueekerchief
OF cur f0refatheTs has evolved INFO an
elaborate fchu, it Is stiu quite as pic
turesque, but there are difficulties In
the way of wearing it. These can be
overcome. however, if the accessory is
made properly. Even the most priU-
tive form, which was a square. wiz be
apt to ride" up in mass OF folds a
the back of the neck. If the dchu is
lOosened, 90 allow the folds 20 smooth
out, the two sides Of the fchu viii not
meet properly IN front, without givins
a drawn effect.
To obviate this. one girl experiment
ed on a breadth OF thin, cheap muslin,
and 0vercame the difficulty. She folded
a perfect square OF muslin diagOHally,
as If she were going TO place it about
her neck Instead. she cut the piece i'm
two. One piece was folded again. but
| this time 1t was a iengthwise fold,
which was cut out about four inches
and curved TO Mt the neck. The point
Of one fichu was left in this effect. the
other was curved. This solved the fichu
problem, for when fl was draped over
her shoulders, and the ends kHO1ted
at her breast her "keTchief" did not
ride up in the back but laid I'm cir
cumEpect lines which aCcentuated the
slOping shoulders,
Another secret which is worth re-
membering is given upon the author
ity Of a fchu expert. She says that for
a yard square fchu the TUfding should
! be at least six yards long before gath

/ half CT ungaLhered rumiug should be
) allowed for every yard OF material
