of lace.
All that has changed. Such cushions are

the new pin cushion.

every week 1t goes to the tub. That is it's
| distinguishing feature. The embroidered
| linen tops are fastened by nothing more
restraining than a lacing of ribbon or even
bows at opposite corners. 1t IS the work
of but a moment to remove the top from
the silk foundation pillow, which is either
plain or, If the pillow has a blunt edge

The linen used ranges from handkerchief
| TO butchers quality, according to the sort
OF embroidery which is to be expended upon

sheerest linen covered with convent en-

pink foundation pillow by rosettes Of pink
bebe ribbon at corners and are usually
square in shape-the linen reaching Just to
the edge of the pillow
The he2rt-shaped ones are beautiful gifts
for a bride. Instead Of being fastened with
ribbon, two eyelets are worked and an ar
row, which is really pin with a detachable
arrow head. is thrust through the pillow in
true cupid's dart fashion.
Others are of heavier linen with a ming
ling Of French work and broiderie Anglaise.
The edges are in points or scallops heavily
worked, and have an eyelet at the tip of
each scallop. The top is duplicated by a
plain bottom, scalloped and provided with
an embroidered eyelet. The two are adj
justed over the silk foundation cushion by
interlacing the two portions with tiny satin
ribbon. In this instance the edges OF the
pillow are blunt or rounded and the putting
OF silk shows prettily between the scallops

Few Odd Coats.
Few odd coats, comparatively speaking,
are seen among Easter trousseaux. Gowns
however thin their materials, have coats Of
their own, fluffy sets of ostrich cocks and
marabout feathers supplying the places of
furs But when a coat Is exhibited 1t IS
something very choice, and generally long
and loose enough to enYelop the whole COS
tune.
one stunning coat on this order seen was
of creme-fraises Strawberries and milA)
covert in quality almost as fine as silk
Black taffetas composed the collar cuffs
and pockets, with al edge Of white, the
huge fancy buttons showing the same
scheme, and the whole garment which had
elbow sleeves coquettishly shirred, displayed
that delightful quality which the French
call chic. A travelling gown Of queens gray
cloth was supplied with a long coat on this
order Of the same material
In bridal underwear shadow embroidery
is a new wrinkle which sometimes realizes
the most fairylike effects. The material
used for the garments, which are elabo-
rately ribbon and lace-trimmed besides, is
the finest India or French lawn. The en-
broidery, by some cleverness known only to
needleworkers is done on the under side
the best examples showing a delicate shad-
ow like that made by the brush.
Shadow embroidery Is likely to have quite
a vogue, the world already clamorng for
the new thing. 1t Is shown on numbers of
lingerie, shirt waists and upon lawn gowns
and collar and cuff sets. MARY DEAN.

Continuing their vogue of the last two
seasons, all-lace coates, known during the
winter as bridge coats, are again to the
fore for afternoon use. AS really beauti-
ful accessory of dress they are most ee-
giant when built entirely of genuine Irish
lace. showing heavy raised designs. There
is no lining whatever to these coates, and
the coarse figures of the lace give glimpses
OF the pretty bodice underneath. Occasion
ally wide bands of delicately colored linen
face the fronts on either side. forming a
kind of vest. and frogs of Irish crochet
serve to hold 1t together at top and bottom.
In some cases these lace coates are dyed
to match pink or blue or lavender linen
skirt but this is an extravaganza INDUCED
in by very wealthy women only. Cream
colored and ecru laces, however are made
up into loose Jackets and give a stunning
effect when worn with pastel or nnen-col-
ored suitlngs. All black coates, sheer and
delicate in fine Chantilly lace, look extreme
ly modish over white frocks, and are at
fected by women in half-mourning
With many of these coates the effect Is
not that of d Jacket, but rather a deep ber-
tina or circular shoulder cape. This Is
brought about by a very loose cut, both of
the sleeve and the coat itself, underneath
the arm. In this way the fulIness of the
lace gives il the appearance Of being in one
piece, and when the quality of the lace Is
