of very open pattern has a band around
the wrist of the embroidered linen, and the
plastron has a band around the throat
In the heavy linen the eyelet embroidery
still continues to be most fashionable
Turnover collars are made of heavy linen
ornamented IN this fashion, and also long
pieces which are TO go around the neck,
these being brought down and fastened In
the belt in front These are about five
inches wide. the same depth throughout
and are finished with a scllloped edge
They are made of very heavy linen and are
usually embroidered in the simple eyelet
used rather sparingly. The desgn of en-
broidery used on this sort of collar seem
to be rather severe. In fact, Il tendency to-
ward simplicity of effect is to be noticed
in this seasons embroideries. which are
being done according to the very best
Partisan models, in distinction to the ornate
effects popular last season.
Small collars made of butchers linen
which are in the style worn by men, are
embroidered in the two corners, with
simple round or square design. These col
lars are made of heavy linen and match
the narrow linen belts with which they
will probably be worn.
Another most necessary item of feminine
frippery with whose manufacture 1t will
be well to improve the Lenten retirement
so that a triumphant re-entry to the world
may be made is the lingerie ruffie, now so
necessary every feminine petticoat.
These lingerie ruffies, for wear with fine
taffeta brocade evening pettfcoats, are
now considered most attractive when made
of fine handkerchief linen. hand embroid-
cred. with the edge finished in scallops. I'M
derneath which is placed q ruffie of Valen-
cennes. These founces are also made with
Valenciennes or suipure insertion, supple
nented with the embroidery
Along with this item OF Lenten handiwork
may be considered the ornamcntation of
: the princess slip. White dresses are to be
made this summer with silk princess slip,
and these are very beautifully trimmed
around The top and bottom with haudiwork.
Around the bottom of the skirt there Is the
lingerie ruffle, and around the top of the
bodice the most exquisite trimming of IN
'serton and embroidered linen medallions
is set In.
And then. of course. there are all the
other items of ingerie-night robes. dress
ing gowns. corset covers ete--all of which
must be hand made, the favorite scheme al
present being fine handkerchief linen and
blind embroidery. There ara also the new
handkerchiefs, finished with scalloped
edges and big splashing designs of blind
embroidery the very sheerest linen
Then there are the new colored iinens--iaV-
ender. green, brown gray and blue-which
are being made up in robe dresses and
which are embroidered rather sparingly
In self-colors or different shade OF the
same color. the embroidery In rather open
designs going across tie top of the sleeves,
down the front of the waist and around
the top of the ffounce
The table. boudoir and even the drawing
room also call for the Lenten handiwork.
For tae table there are sets of oval mats of
heavy linen embroidered in oyelet work that
are handsome and not too difficult or tedi-
Gus. New tableeloths for luncheons are also
embroidered with eyelet work and have
euspure ornaments set In the embroidery.
For the boudoir there are new cushions
covered with two pieces of embroidered
linen. one smaller than the other. and I'm
ished with deep scallops. For the drawing
room there are the delicious little fancy
linen pillows in all sorts of odd shapes and
more handsomely embroidered than ever.
They are circular, heart shaped square,
