for the woman who enjoys fine needlework. If one wishes to be cx- trenely particular, they can all be made entirely by hand, but they are almost as dainty and can be much more quickly done on the machine with very small stitch and fine thread.
 The materials are quite inexpen- sive-sheer dirnities or lawn, how- cred muslin and the soft French handkerchief linen. These are conn bined with lace insertions. elnbroid- cry insertions and edgings, or even with buttonholcd scallops and em- broidered designs.
 A special feature is the fascinat- ing variety of the bibs, with which all the aprons arc supplied. These not only give Q charming and very dressy touch to the dainty little af- fairs, but serve as a special protec- tion for fancy work, as it is almost impossible to prevent any sewing that one is doing by hand from rub bing against tao lower part of q blouse--to the distinct disadvantage of the sewing if the costume be dark.
 A very fascinating apron can be made like tho one in the upper left hand corner. It is of sheer blue dimity or lawn. with the front breadths tucked and sharply point ed, and two pointed revers turned back on broad shoulder straps for the bib. This is trimmed with valen- ciennes lace insertion. about an inch

wide, and lace edging to match. An extra flufiiness is given by rtlfi1e of the material outlining the bottom and finished with a lace edge.
 The dusting apron may be carried out either in white or colored hand- kerchief linen, trimmed with inser- tion and edging of embroidery. The panel arrangement of the insertion on the front gore of the apron and outlining the sloping tucks at the bottom just above the rufiie of the material is most effective. The stia. pender-shaped bib, with cross piece, is made entirely of the embroidery and edging.
 Much more inexpensive and even more charming would be the knit ting apron ofpale pink hnndkerchief linen. This requires nothing but . few yards of the material and some white mercerized cotton. The bot tom of the apron and the circular collar of the bib are finished in seal. loped points, done in buttonhole stitch, with a very simple conven- tional design in lowered dots ems broidered above it. A tiny frin of the material is set on round the seal Iops. Such an apron is equally lovely in pale blue or white.
 Extremely Frenchy is an apron of gay lowered muslin, trimmed with a cluny lace insertion in coitee color, and rosette bows of q soft narrow ribbon. The rufies are mads of the lowered material.

An Attractive Collar

IT MEN turnover collars are daily gaining in popularity,
 and women hail with delight A any novelty in this line. One of the prettiest shown has the regu- lation linen band and a turnover of Irish crochet lace. With it can be worn one of the narrow silk ties, a lawn tie edged with crochet lace or one of the many fascinating labot effects in silk or lawn.
 These little collars make pretty Christmas gifts, and since the lace comes by the yard and their con- struction is not difficult for an ann ateur, number might be made at very small cost.

 4-- Mousseline desoie braids, embroidered in gilt or in rich Orien, tai colors, are ono of this years features. Indeed, touch of color introduced into almost any embroids cred article seldom comes amiss.
 The allovers and "strip-embroid- cry" blouses are. on the contrary, made with elbow sleeves, and may be trimmed and finished as elabo- rately as possible. One exquisite blouse in the finest allover emhroid- cry was trimmed with Irish crochet lace.
 Turnovers are worn as much as ever. Cuffs that turn back are shown in the most exquisite designs.
 Stocks vary little in shepe, the tab fronts being still very much in evidence. There are new designs in the embroidery, however. and here, too, the touch of black or some color is often found.
 Plate doilies are great favorites just now for the woman wLo has ample time to give to her embroid- cry.

Egyptian designs are carried out with the embroidery. and even the woman who does not think them pretty must admit that they have a peculiar charm all their own.

 Some of these Empire scarfs come in Pompadour crepe de chine-the background being creamy white and the prevailing tone of the flowers a delicate pink. They are about two and half yards long and about twenty-four inches wide.
 A very beautiful Empire scarf is shown in an exquisite lavender crepe. White daisies are embroider- ed at either end so naturally as to almost seem as if they had been tossed upon the lavender. , Among the fancy crepe scarfs shown is one in deep Persian colors. The ends of this scarf are simply finished with a very narrow hem.
 She who has inherited q small China crepe scarf either in black or white should take it out rejoicing. For the woma who has no such heirloom there are plenty of copies displayed in the shops. These scarfs are really tiny sLawls, and have an embroidered border and deep f. f-inge.
 Hand-painted Empire searfs are also much liked. These come in the regulation size, are of white crepe de chine, with the floral design for a border and the very tiniest fringe imaginable as a finish.
 Very fascinating for the woman who is dark eyed and statuesque are the Egyptian scarfs. These come in black and white net heavily embroid- aaad m gold OF silver. Maryalnna
