Some eccentric ideas shown among

done in plain colored calieoes, for the
face cards, with white sheeting and
black and red calico for the spotted
ones. The card idea is thought most
amusing for fancy costumes, and at a

But If big folk enjoy the masquer-

courts of the Louises appear here, too,
and the little Montespans and Antoin-
cites are mated with eourtier costumes
which make the small boys quite as
splendid. One dress for a girl of six
reproduced exactly the hooped and

designs. Colored laces seen so much
on evening frocks this winter will be a
feature of the washable dresses for
warm weather, and for these the
modish girl can embroider nets in the
soft shades of blue, pink, yellow and
lavender
In making flet lace the net should
be securely fastened to piece of paper
canbric or thin oilcloth. The mesh is
so easily puckered and drawn out of
shape that it must be watched care
fully, Or the results will be anything
but satisfactory. The weaving is eff
fected by duh pointed needle and
mereeFiZed cotton, silks or crewels in
self-tone, or contrasting shades may
be employed for the darning. The
needle is drawn over one thread of the
mesh and under the other, as in the
simple darning process, the holes being
hlfed in by two or three crossings of
the thread. Another method of filling
the holes is to have the threads pass
diagonally over the tiny square, cross
ing each other in the center. This
gives. more lacy effect than the
straight stitch.
An extremely pretty insertion for
shoulder seams, cuffs, belt and chest
straps of natural linen blouse shows
star pattern darned into an ecru
mesh with darker shade of mercer
lied cotton. MedalIions for a dimity
shirtwaist should be made from the
sheerest mesh. An easy design is the
shamrock darned in diagonal stitch
with a finely twisted mercerized cotton
One clever girl who works out her
own designs has her dressing table
covered with heavy mesh net in eeru,

covered with a similar medallion.

President Perkins recommends that the proposed
sanatorium be on the cooperative plan In which
all the unions will be stockholders, to be run with

He proposes that the sanatorum be under tho

through board of directors composed Of the
chief executive officers Of the trades unions and
that 1t be called the American Federation Trades

he funds shall be devoted to the purchase of farms
for outdoor treatment of union men who have
tuberculosis in it's incipient stages.
