Pretty and Simple Under-Waist.

1t is a simple matter to make an I'M
der-W aist of a straight strip OF wide
embroidery. The embroidery must be
the depth required for the under
waist. Straps of lace or bands of rib
bon keep it on the shoulders and it is
drawn in to fit by narrow ribbons
runs through beading at the top and
bottom At a very small eXpend- re
OF trouble and money underwaists can
be made thus that will do nicely with
the sheerest blouses. Rather newer
are the handkerchief underwaists
and the manner of their making is
like this: Three handkerchiefs are
taken and cut into triangles from OPP
posite corners, each making two
pieces. Three handkerchiefs form a
waist, the triangles being fitted into
each other, hemstitched points down,
until one long piece is formed. Shout
der straps and beading for the ribbon
alone arc necessary. An unusually
pretty underwaist made after the
latter fashion had narrow bands Of
lace insertion put between the points
and was sprinkled over with pink
rosebuds done in wash embroidery
silk and tied with rose ribbons.

For the housewife who likes the
scent of lavender leaves in her linen

paper with Oriental decorations are
useful and decorative. These cush.
ions are six or eight inches square.
Sandal wood sticks an inch square
and five inches long are useful for
laying among the curtains and drap-
cries when they are put away in the
spring, and the fragrance will remain
long after the hangings are unpacked
in the autumn.
Oriental perfumes, though consider

are greatly in favor With many others,

The Hats True History.

No when Easter was only three days
off Edith began to think seriously
about an Easter hat. The girls kept
asking if her New York nat" had
come, and, resolving not to disappoint
them altogether, she had laughingly
replied: Not yeti" But her mother,
on whose assistance she had counted,
was still away from home.
So this rainy afternoon Edith had
gone up garnet" to rummage the
closets and trunks. And finally she
had unearthed a treasure-her grand
mothers. wedding bonnet! 1t was
great leghorn hat, entirely dismantled
now and helplessly battered and
stained.
II wonder what shoe-blacking
would do for it?" unused Edith. And
by catching the brim up-so that
hole wouldn't be seen. But-for the
trimming? t-grandmother's lace
cap strings. They'll make a dainty
ruching, and III put a bunch Of
something or other, where the brim's
| looped up. There won't be another
hat in Oldtown like tor in New
York, either!"
Edith's fingers flew, and seemed
| gifted with a fairy touch, although
the finished hat proved a queer-look-
ing object-in the hand.
Mrs. Day reached home the after
noon before Easter. Presently she
said: 20, Edith, you never wrote me
about your new hats it a success?
Edith's eyes danced. "Ill put it
on, mamma, and you can see
Mrs Day regarded it critically.
"WeH, it's certainly nOt-what eX-
pected."
But, mamma, will it do to wear?
Yes, dear" replied her mother
land really. it looks very well. But
it didn't come from New York, now
did it,"
Then, laughing and blushing, Edith
told the entire story, only begging hel
mother to let nobody into their secret
just then
So that is how Edith came to veal
that remarkable dull black leghorn,
trimmed with time-yellowed lace an(
real bittersweet berries, on Easter day
