Guess you'll listen to me after this!"
There is not the least sign that fine
handwork is going out of fashion. All
manner of gowns are made with it as
the central trimming. The shops can
furnish any amount of it, as they have
skilled workers to do it; not as skilled
as French workers yet, though each
year the result gets bette
Because of it's popularity the home
workers are taking it up more and
more and learning to do finer work.
Half the women in the country seem to
know a great deal more about all the
intricate stitches than they did two
years ago.
There is no question but that machine
work is a dangerous rival this season.
1t has arrived at a wonderful degree
of skill. Some of the machine embroid-
cry sells as high as the handwork.
The great shops sell exquisite blouses
Of it that are worn by the most fas-
tidious women. The trouble with the
machine has been the poverty of de-
signs. The handwork showed artistic
designs that i'm themselves were worth
buying, while the machine workers
kept plugging along at designs in
which there was neither beauty or
fashion.
A great majority of fabrics that are
sold this season have an attempt at
embroidery in some form The best
linens show eyelet work that is i'm
mensely well done. The channels linens
are the thing as opposed to white and
many of them are covered with open
work. The shops call this fabric pom
gee because of its color, but it is much
nearer chamois in tone, really.
Grey linen is also so much in de-
mand. Two years ago it was rather
old fashioned. but this season it is
ultra good style. Bright blue is an
other favorite and is one of the most
serviceable frocks and suits a woman
can have, especially if she travels. But
remember that it must be the undress-
ed weave if you want to be comfort
able and stylish True, all the shops
are selling the old glazed linen which
was SO dominant last Summer, but it is
not as correct as the still older-fash-
Toned kind which has returned to favor
because Of the difficulty in keeping the
glazed weave smooth
Butchers linen has returned to fash
ion and most of the new smart suits
are being made of it.

lie was born among the peasant class
! OF Bohemia, and, according to his own
story, no man had to struggle harder
than himself for the bare necessities
OF life. But by sheer pluck, persever-
ance and indomitable fighting against
all obstacles he at last succeeded i'm at
tanning his great ambition-to learn to
play the violin. And while enjoying
this triumph chance led him to win the
next prize he set his heart on-his wife.
He not only fiddled his way into her
affections, but into the affections of her
laristOcratic family, one of the most
exclusive in Hungary, That feat was
something to marvel at in Europe, for
the son of a low-born peasant to parry
the high-born daughter of one Of the
proudest houses i'm Austria. But he
has her now, and when at home they
