ON PLAIN AND
MORE SILK.

One of the latest ideas for the amateur
needle woman is the use of silk instead or
linen as a background for her embroidery.
Table covers. cushions and all the usual
articles on which women expend handl-
work of this sort are now being made of
silk and trimmed with the da!ntiest EN-
broidery. The latest sofa pillows are OF
MORE silk with delicate des gnS in French
embroidery. These des gns are carried out
in baby ribbon in chenille and in embroid
cred silk. being further supplemented by
delicate jewel work and the use of gold
thread and seauins. Gros-grain and tat
feta silk are also used for sofa pillows
picture frames. mirror frames, work boxes,
needle books. dressing table fittings. candle
shades. etc. A favorite combination Of
colors for all these purposes includes the
use of very pale green. with the pompa-
dour shades in pink. lavender and blue.
Very pale yellow Is also used as a back
ground for the embroideries and is partc-
ularly effective when gold thread is to bs
employed. Rose pink and pale gray are
other shades suitable for these purposes.
One of the necessary items of an up-to-
date dressing table is the hatp,n holder.
This may be most attractively made Of
MORE silk. trimmed with linen flowers and
with embroidery In gold cord. One such
hatpin holder was cylindrical in shape.
The silk was put on plain, with q little
flounce around the bottom and another be-
yond the top. The top of the holder was
covered with gilt network suitable for
holding the pins. The cord embroidery en-
circles the holder and the cords were tied
In a bow at one side toward the top. The
ribbon flowers stood out in a ruff1e around
the top Of the holder.

last summer, although long sleeves are not
yet fashionable. and in some instances the
smallest and shortest of styles are to be
noticed. AS a rule, sleeves now come well
below the elbow and are finished with
fiat band Above the elbow they are of
medium size. and there are number or
different styles, almost without exception
effective While the long, dropping shoulder
seam is fashionable, 1t has been found that
the majority of women look best with
sleeves that stand out a little at the top,
SO featherbones or wire are used to Sc
cure the desired appearance. In fact. no
end of attention Is paid to sleeves beng
becoming well cut and carefully fitted.
Many of the fashions this year seem
strangely at variance, and it is quite diff
cult to reconcile them. The figure Is sup
posed to be defined more sharply than
has been fashionable the last two or three
years At the same time, clothes must not
look as though fitted too tightly. There
must not be any blouse in the front OF the
waists, yet loose. easy appearance mus
be given. perfect-ftting lining Is apso-

by the most careful of hand work Much is
written and said of the high prices asked
for clothes this spring. but it does not re-
qure a close inspection to discern that
there is an immense amount of work on
even the simplest waist, while on the more
elaborate ones the work is marvelously
fine and intricate. and hand work is DE-
manded on everything at all smart.
Naturally the empire style cannot be at
tanned In the separate waist. but hint of
it's influence may be noted in the arrange
ment of the belt, which gives a short
WASTED appearance at the back and is not
long nor SO pointed in front as last year.
Perfection of fit In the fiat yoke is de-
manded. and no end of attention is paid to
the collar, which is either cut to form
cola rless effect or is as high as possible
and most carefully toned. A touch of
black velvet in the collar is of the
favorite fashions. while for more formal
occasions the wide velvet with the jeweled
ornament in front is considered tremen-
dously smart.
Sleeves are made longer than they were

becoming it is substituted, for this year
the rule prevails that the becoming must
be chosen in preference to everything.
The loose, wide sleeve that is in one
piece with the waist is a marked feature
of the fashions this season, and seems to
be particularly we'll adapted to the style
that looks like a sleeveless coat worn over
a separate blouse. The armholes are alb
normally large, on the kimono order, and
are always trimmed with the fiat band
effect Sometimes may be noticed part of
he--waist of heavy lace, the part that goes
over the shoulders and forms the sleeves.
This finished by the fiat band of velvet, is
most charming, especially when worn over
white. An exception to this is in the case
of yellow, sulphur yellow wolfe. made up
with cream white lace. In this instance
the different shades of yellow and cream
white were most artistically blended.
There is a great deal of fine work to be
noticed on all these waists. Not only
braiding and embroidery but narrow
bands of silk, fancy buttons and myriad

any style OF skirt can be adap ed The
CAMP and yoke effect still reign supreme
and sensible fashion It is, but fer warm

a waist even OF rather heavy material, is
quite possible to wear on hot days. The
bretelies and suspcnders worn over the

least to the warmth and are in truth
merely an elaborate style OF trimming that
transforms the separate blouse into the

velvet and embroidered bands all play
their part in making the waist most eiab-
crate. Velvet ribbon-black-is seen in
every case. from the narrowest piping to
the inch-wde fat ribbon velvet. Lace in
sertion is favorite trimming. the heavy
flet lace being the most popular, and one
of the fads is to outline and emphasize the
pattern by embroider,ng 1t with gold or
silver thread. Chantilly laces. black, are
srangled with jet paillettes when 1t is de-
sired to have the pattern stand out at the
ends of the breteles fiat fichu. Gray
lace with silver steel palette embroid-

used. but always with the addition OF some
other lace. For these bits of embroidered

used. and there are so many to choose
from in such variety of design, The

lar, but when the cream white is the more
