in LACE COMBINATIONS
Several Kinds Put Together for
Frocks or Separate Waist Is
Height Of Fashion Now.

The combination of several laces in
frock or separate waist still continues
to be a feature of high-class costum-
ing. Net, both plain and figured, is
very often brought into use, forming
background for the application of lace
motifs. In fact, in waists it is more
often used than the fine cotton and
linens. Irish crochet applique, baby

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells Of Experience He Does
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to a monster bear
and try to shove it out of the way and
then escape without so much as a
scratch is an experience of a lifetime.
Harry I Engelbright found it so a few
days ago in Diamond canyon, above
Washington, says a Nevada City cor
respondent of the Sacramento Bee.
The young man, son of Congressman
Engelbright, has just returned from
the upper country, where he has been
doing some surveying, and relates his
thrilling experience. It was coming
on dusk, at the close of the days work
IN the brush-lined trail he saw pro-
truding what he thought were the
nlnd quarters of some stray bovine.
He walked up and gave the brute q
snove. 1t came to its launches with
a snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat a hasty retreat.
The big brute looked around and then
snumed off into the woods It was
either asleep or else so busy eating
ants from an old log that it failed to

steps were deadened by the thick car

beast sent it hurtling yards away.

Comfortable House Dress

Make the waist and skirt any design
desired. Finish the bottom of waist
with narrow band the size of the
waist measure. Place buttons around
the waist on this band in the follow
ing manner: One in center back. one
an inch and half on each side of CEN
ter back, one at each under arm seam.
one in front, and one on each side half
way between front and under arm
seam. Stitch belt two inches wide
fiat to waist, just above the band
which holds the buttons, and fasten in
front with hook and eye or button.
Finish the skirt with a belt and wo.k
buttonholes in belt to match buttons
on waistband. When buttoned together
the belt on waist falls over buttons
and you have a loose dress which is
perfectly comfortable, hangs from
shoulders, and never separates at the
waist line, when properly adjusted.
Finish with turn down collar and tie
OF same, fastened under each side of
collar, and three-quarter length sleeves.

The Omnipresent Fichu.

Was the fichu ever so popular az
now? 1t is shown on nine out of ten
of the fashionable French frocks, yet
no two are alike. The modistes cut it
in one with the kimono sleeve. and
thus preserve the shoulder lines that
months ago were stamped with the
approval of Fashions elite. All of the
scarfs and pelerines are classed under
the heading of fichus-a term which is
quite as elastic as the name blouse.
Originality is the keynote of these
trimmings, but there is no model thai
is sui generis, one might say.
In some instances the fichu is of
bright chiffon or sheer silk, contrast
ing sharply with the color scheme of
the gown, but here again the art of
the colorist is apparent.
