PRETTY THINGS FOR HOME.
Dainty and Attractive "comforts" II
Fine White Lawn.

The woman who can make her own
bed clothes and not have to purchase
them, has something superior in work
manship and material at much less
cost. Pretty comforts may be made
of fine white lawn, even the cheapest
being suitable. Select something
with small flower; the ragged robin
design, wild roses or purple clematis
make neat covers
The edges can be bound with cot
ton ribbon or cotton insertion of a
Persian design. One woman made a
neat comfort with checked blue and
white sateen. The blue checks were
knotted with white, while the white
ones were finished with blue.
A lovely comfort was made with
white dotted Swiss, and, instead of be-
ing knotted daisy design was worked
over the cover about every ~ inches
apart. The designs were small, but
neat and attractive
The material is cheap enough, for
some lawns can be purchased for
three cents a yard, and it only means
that time and patience must be taken
to make the articles for ones home
and what woman does not like the
neatest and prettiest articles for her
home?

NECKLACE OF SEED PEARLS.
Style Has Superseded the Fad for
Gold Beads-Chains in Style.

Revived from the fad of long ago
is the seed pearl necklace This
dainty creation is made of strands of
seed pearls twisted into a rope The
more expensive ones end in tassel
and are worn in Loose knot, making
stunning effect. Coral beads, small
and pink, look we'll twisted in this
kind of rope and make an attractive
addition to any gown. Gold beads are
no longer fashionable, but the single
strands Of coral. turquoise beads, jade,
lapis lazuli, and the pale green ANA
Zon stone are fashionable though they
have been worn some time. Less be-
coming than these to most girls. yet
newer and exceedingly popular are
the strings of amber beads. These
may be considered the most fashion
able necklace after the seed pearls.
Happy the girl who may possess a
ine old-fashioned gold chain which
was made by hand in the days when
a goldsmith's work was more fin
shed art than it is to-day. These
chains always are stylish and add a
rich touch to any costume. Bracelets
are not becoming to a young girl ear
rings are quite impossible. and the
fewer trinkets worn the better.

Blouse Novelty.

One Of the most charming novelties
In the way of blouses has been
launched by well known designer of
unusual styles. This delightful little
waist is made Of soft silk in the most
delicate OF shell pink tones. The en-
tire bodice and dropping sleeves are
formed Of two-inch folds, one over
tapping the other These run from
the high girdle over the shoulders and
tuck in at the back. The sleeves are
formed of continuation of plaits or
folds extending to the wrist. where
they narrow down to proportionate
dimensions. The neck is finished with
a high lace and batiste collar and
chemisette. Two rather more elab-
crate blouses of this character have
their folds an inch wide. and each one
edged with the narrowest lace to be
found. Besides giving the desired
broad shouldered effect the lace
softens the regular lines of the folds
so carefully placed

USES FOR CIGAR BANDS,
Unique Decorations Are Applied ia
Many Articles.

There seems to be no end to the
uses to which cigar bands may be
put. A year ago ash trays and paper
weights were the only articles one
could find in the shops upon which
cigar band decorations might be
pasted, but now there are complete
smoking sets of glass to be lined with
the bands, match holders, plates,
vases, and even tables, both large and
small, of which the top and sides are
glass, ready for lining. One downtown
cigar dealer has a Turkish taburet
with tray. cigar and cigarette holders
and match box, alcohol lamp standard,
cuspidor and jar for holding tapers,
all ornamented with the bands and
pictorial decorations from cigar boxes
The effect of the group is really very
oriental. Several thousands of bands
were used in covering the backs of
all these articles, and the amount Of
patience necessary to fit together so
many small bits of color into such an
intricate design seems far out of pro-
portion to the result achieved. Cigar
band ornaments are curious and in
genious, but not even the inventor Of
the idea ever claimed any artistic
value for them.
This craze has taken such hold
upon the public that genuine cigar
bands are now hard to obtain, and to
supply the increasing demand, manu-
facturers of the bands have begun
making limitations, which are sold by
the package. These limitations are in
some cases exactly like the genuine
bands and in others are slight modifi-
cations, the pictorial points being
identical, but the trade mark is omit
ted. In buying the packages one also
gets bottle of transparent cement
and instructions for doing the work,
and these outfits are being sold by the
hundreds to women whose fathers.
brothers and friends can not consume
enough cigars to supply them with
bands for all the ''bric-a-brac" they
want to decorate with the tiny trade
marks.

Ugly spots are left where the glue was

On. Kind Of Flower in a Room.

One should not use more than one
kind of flower in a room. although 1t
is safe to combine several kinds Of
green foliage; for instance. ferns and
smilax as well as the natural foliage
of the flower used
When rooms open together with
broad arches it is better to keep the
same flower throughout. Even when
the opening is not large. one should
not be compelled to look from a pink
room into yellow room. or from a
red room into yellow room.-Har-

BASKETS FOR THE TABLE.
Decorative Effect as Well as Use
Baskets for Special Occasions.

Baskets of one sort and another, of
simple or more or less ornamental
character, have long been used for
last few years there have come to be
offered for such use baskets specially
designed with a view to their dec
orative effect.
Here, for instance, is a lifelike bas-
Network turkey perched on basket
work pumpkin of proportionate dimen-
sions, both turkey and pumpkin fin
ished in their natural colors, this tur-
key table basket being designed to
stand on Thanksgiving dinner
table.
And here is table basket in the
form of swan, life size and natural
in appearance, and graceful, and here
is a gorgeous table basket of fine
work in the form and colorings of a
peacock. There is a table basket in
the shape of a chicken, and here is
one designed to adorn patriotic table
in the form of an eagle.
Sometimes table baskets are made
to order in special forms, as for BAN
quets. One such basket was made in
the form of billiard table. Where
such baskets are made specially it is
necessary to give the order well in
advance, for it must go to Europe to
be filled, table baskets, like almost
all other fancy baskets, being made
in Germany.
Besides being used for fruits table
baskets are sometimes used for flow
ers. They cost from five to twenty
five dollars.
