Practical Charity - The
Blond In Black-The
Pickle Madness.

1T makes me tired to hear all the
remarked the woman with decided
views. The lower classes don't want
10 be elevated. They don't want to
be taught to admire the Venus de Milo
or art nouveau decorations. The need
OF refinement is not imperative with
them. Sometimes / think they are
happier without it, for il makes them
dissatisfied with their surroundings,
but there are people to whom a breath
of refined atmosphere is like a breath
of life, and those are the people for
whom nothing whatever is usually
done.
Take women in reduced circum-
stances, people who have seen better
days, who are forced to work in shops
or factories or to labor increasingly in
order to support some invalid relation.
Think of young girls whose tiny wages
and long hours deprive them of any
thing that makes life worth while
There's an opportunity for you to ex-
ercise your charity"

The elbow sleeves are OF moderate di-

by the pinch shirrings along the seam.
while the cuffs are Of insertion with
double edgings of lace
The skirt tucked to corset depth, has
full ruffIe at the foot, its hem topped
by several tucks and three-ineh ruIfle
of lace; while the head OF the ruffle is
hidden in the same manner. but with

portion Of the skirt has as trimming
broad bands of insertion running down
almost to the rufIie In tab arrangement,
then going straight around toward the
back.
The girdIe as well as the breast and
sleeve bows are Of velvet and can be
duplicated in as many colors as is de-
sired.

Things That Count.

Small belongings Of dress often make
or mar a womanE appearance. there

an eye on the little fads and fancies of
fashion.
Gloves this season viii match the cos
tune. at least they" will correspond with
its shade. Some OF the newest have little
turned back cuffs of contrasting color
and many of the long suede gloves are
heavily embroidered Embroidered silk
gloves are shown In elbow length to
meet the short slice yes of the new waists

Bead necklaces are being much worn

EmezaldS IN Fashion.

Emeralds are coming SO much into
fashion just now that they are, as a
natural consequence. rapidly rising IN
price, and promise to be one OF the
favorite and most expensive stones of
the coming season.
The Queen owns parure of emeralds
that is worth a kings ransom; Princess
Charles Of Denmark has one hundred
emeralds of large size and first quality
which forms flexible waist belt; vad
stones in the possession OF the Duchess
of Buccleuch and Lady Aberdeen are
priceless.
The Duchess Of Marlborough. who so
seldom wears any jewels but her ia
nous pearls and diamonds. caused a mild
sensation at Dublin castle one night last
week by wearing a magnificent new or
nament of emeralds
Lady Carew has a fine tiara of emer-
AIDS. and she also owns an exceptionally
splendid stone which was presented to
ner by the Shah Of Persia. Mrs William
James has a treliis work collar of en-
eralds and diamonds, while Lady Car
navon. Lady Ludlow. Mrs Ronald Gre
vile and Mrs. Arthur Paget all have
small fortunes wrapped up ia these
green gems.

Making Fancy Hosiery.

The demand for fancy hosiery is as
great as ever this season, and in order
to be in fashion and yet not stretch
their pocketbooks too much many girls
are putting their fine needlework into
their summer hosiery
1t is very much less expensive to
buy pair OF plain Isle or silk stock
ings and do the lace inserting or en-
broidery yourself. The very newest
stockings are Of the finest silk, with
elaborate hand-drawn work patterns on
the order OF Mexican embroidery. Less
difficult for the amateur. but scarcely
less fashionable in reality, are inser-
tions of lace or medallions. These are
basted in place and appliqued round
medallions, buttonholed In long and
short stitch, the stocking afterward be-
ing cut out behind the lace.
The ubiquitous spangle Is in favor for
evening hosiery. and these may also be
added at home to the lace with most
satisfactory results. Lisle or cotton as
we'll as silk stockings may be embroid-
cred in wash silks at home, but IL should
be remembered that a cheap stocking
Will scarcel. pay for the careful work
and time spent in embeliishing 1t, and in
the end 1t will De found economical 20
purchase a good quality Isle or silk
rather than cheap cotton for such a
purpose
a pretty design which may be carried
out at home Is to run a tWo-inch band
of black lace up the front of the stock
Ing from the toe. and then embroider
scattered pink and green rosebuds on
either side of the lace.
another design is to run three narrow
strips of lace with a row of white polka
dots between the strips.
Clocks. too. are always in good taste,
bring forth many unique and attractive
patterns.
