valenciennes my lady's lingerie becomes
indeed thing of beauty.
Most of the lingerie this season is easily
made depending not upon the work but
the material for its daintiness. One corset
cover seen in the shops was $1095 and was
made of an elaborate piece of embroidery
with straps over the shoulders that Were
Of lace edged insertion marked that II
locked like embroidery yet gave the cover
a distinctiveness. Wash ribbons were used
in this cover and bow rested on either
shoulder and it tied with one. Another con-
sisted of rows of dainty tucks and val
enciennes insertion alternating. The popu-
lar corset cover is the one that has an eX-
tension below the belt shaped to fit the
figure. All the lingerie is easily patterned
from this gear, and little time and money
expended will work a reform In this de-
partment Of the wardrobe.
An Unaffected
Style Of furniture for small house or
fiat Is always much more effective than
any other. although 1t need not be a crude
simplicity, but a happy medium, which,
while quite simple. shows good workman
ship with clever design. Unfortunately
such furniture Is not much in demand, and
30 Is the exception rather than the rule.
Furnishing houses are always willing and
anxious to follow such lines. A simple
style is not necessarily inexpensive 1t
has the advantage OF durability.
An artistic dining room is developed by
having the walls painted white, with stain
ed green, doors and woodwork. Have the
chairs of natural oak and made after the
Dutch fashion. The sideboard may be a
dresser with shelves above for the accom-
modation Of blue and white china.
A pretty effect for the drawing room Is
produced by having pale green walls with
white woodwork and the furniture of I'M
polished walnut for which a Queen Anne
style is attractive.
The bed rooms follow after this prevail
ing idea of useful suites without disfigur-
ing ornamentation. The draperes should
be of good material but devoid of elaborate
trimming. In furnishing your fiat bear in
mind that what is fit is fine"

In front. The sleeves are of the large bish-
op persuasion and a pretty collar and
revers afford a dressy touch to the gar
ments. A black and white check for rain
coats and dust coats finds much favor, but
pretty fawns and grays. which always look
we'll and blend with any color, are to be
had for those who prefer them.
Cashmere

popular, and, with It's fine, soft lines and
silky form, Is. indeed. bewitching. 1t falls
gracefully, and the skirt requires no trim

In Making Buttonholes-
II the material Is the kind which trays
easiy-for example, like voile-flrst mark
the hole, and before cutting stitch 1t on the
sewing machine and cut between the two
rows of stitching. This makes a firm foun-
dation for the embroidery and effectually
prevents the material from "fraZzling.'
