from a good cleaner, or who of necessity
must economic. can do a great deal of her
own dry cleaning if she will.
Light gloves, slippers and belts, silk or
lace blouses and ribbons of various sorts
are the articles that need cleaning oftenest,
and if they are not too soiled are usually

A feature of these pillows that gives them

from the dark background and gives an
individual appearance to the pillow that is
rarely seen In cushions used either for
iounging or for characterization.
Pillows made of velour and tapestry
panels outlined with galloon or narrow gilt
braid are particularly desirable and attrac-
tive. An effective way to make such a
cushion Is to have square panels represent

two corners plain for contrast If four
panels are used four different scenes are
usually selected to give variety to the cush-
ion. These, as a rule. are square. which

used this year. They, too, are oblong and
without ruff1e or cord and tasse for a fin
ish, though many of them have buttons
covered with the material placed at the
four corners.
Quite as original as the tapestry cush-
ions are those made OF dark green. or ecru
denim with diamond motifs in white or
contrasting shade set on squares of another
color. These designs are all bound with red
and blue tape and stitched to give them a
tailored appearance. Another effective cush-
ion for a sleeping apartment may be round

for they are made on quite original lines,

Even the materials of which these cush-

for the last two or three years. for in

Another decided change is noticed in the

terpiece should he easily worked

for constant Interruptions, and requires

Centerpeces always acceptable to

bachelor maid in her single bed room and
boudoir combined finds them a charming
addition to her tea table. while they make
delightful presents for the linen chest of
the engaged girl.
Specially attractive is this oval pattern,
with its simple sprays of violets. The de-
sign, without being elaborate. is extremely
effective and lends itself to many interest
ing treatments.
Violets. strange to say, are among the
most popular flowers for embroidery; even
the novice in the art is not afraid to at
tempt them. probably because the shading
is so simple and the petals comparatively
small.
