DAINTY CUSHIONS
In White and Linen Ecru Are Real
Decorations

Linen pincushions for summer use will
be greater favorites this year than they
were last for they are made in such prac-
teal but artistic designs that they will be
equally serviceable on an elabora tely ap-
pointed dressing table on plain bu-
reau. Another advantage these cushions
have over the ordinary silk. satin. etc, va
rieties is that they may be washed when
soiled and after Tubing will look just as
fresh as when new.
Fortunately for women whose incomes
are limited these decorative and useful
cushions are quite easy to make at home
and if those in the illustrations are copied
the amateur sewer will find little difficulty
I'm duplicating.
The round one is. of course, simpler to
make than the obiong cushion. for the for
mer consists of linen bottom and one
flounce that extends two three inches
beyond the top. This circular ruff1e is
stoutly sewed 10 round bag filed with
sawdust cotton whatever filling is de-
sired.
The top OF the cushion is also round with
dainty Misunderstanding on the edge as a
finish This upper portion is held in place
tom by a ribbon draw string tied in q dou-
BILE bowknot. Directly in the center of the
top AN embroidery wreath could be worked

Suggestions for
Spring Costumes

II is possible to get along with fewer
frocks ia the spring and autumn than

one reason being that the seasons are
Al much shorter and another that both
are more OF less times of change. when

the country ct vice versa, and with every
Thing So unsettled there is no chance TOT
much social activity. A few suits just as
nearly perfect in their way as 1t Is pos

shade OF an unusual style of frock Is pc
ruliarIy becoming. IL seems worth Whlie TO
be remembered in IL rather than never to
have anything noticeably effective
Generally speaking, the only garments
absolutely necessary for the spring are a
smart cloth tailor suit. an attractive SILK
shirt waist dress, made just IA thin ana

Naturally. there are any number or other
dresses that can be added 10 this short nst
and these others will receive a due amount
of wear unquesjionably, but without them
il is possible TO get along II one mas the
three costumes mentioned.
Some OF the fine lace blouses have swing
ing squares or oblongs across the front

but much skill and taste must be used IN
their application at the proper point ana
in the proper way or the results are any
thing but pleasing. -
The most extravaganza fashion OF the
season Is the embroidering OF linen dress
- which is being done with a iaVishness
hith.rto unknown. Dress gowns or white
linen. of medium weight. but very good
quality. are worked by hand In the most
Intricate floral designs. The whole ma

embroidered before the dress Is mao up,

only other trimming on the dress CONSISTED
of three four-inch bands of silk laid ABOUT
the skirt and the tucks which held the ma
terial In below the girdle and gave the
necessary flare when opened out just above
the knees.
There is little embroidery used Oh any
of the skirts this year. for they require
little, If any. elaboration. On the waists
of the gowns, however. embroidery ana
lace and trimming Of all kinds run riot
The so-called jumper bodices. whether IN
CLOTH silk linen or rajah. are embroidered
or braided In gold and silver, the latter
being employed in a number OF the hand
some cloth costumes. SILK and ra5ah are
both worked in one or more tones or EN-
broidery silk while the linens are all kept
on the one shade.
Perhaps the most effective use OF en-
broidery is upon the little boiero and pony
coats that are smart at the moment
Many of these jackets are SO tiny that 1t
Is impossible to put any additional trim
ming on them, so that their adornment
consists of the embroidery worked directly
upon the material. 1t Is now possible to
get these silk jackets ready made. and an
embroidered black taffeta bolero or pony
coat is an excellent investment. as it can
be worn with a number Of different silk,
wolfe and even colored linen frocks in such
shades as gray, red, pink. green. etc.

IN WEAVES OF WOLFE
SHEER AND HEAVY AND GAY
AND DARK

Wolfe is unquestionably the most popular
material for reception gowns and after
noon dresses this season. There are coarse
yoiies. approa ching very nearly to canvas.
and then there are qualities SO fine to
be almost indiStinguishable from chiffon.
There are plain and fancy, striped and
figured, dark shades and light in fact. ali
kinds and conditions of wolfe. made up in
almost every conceivable model. from the
most severe tailor costume TO the daintiest
and most elaborate robe for the spring
weddings. luncheons, etc
AS this material Is very fashionable
it is certainly better to have a suit of wolfe
than anything else, and really remark
able amount of wear is to be derived from
a smart robe OF this goods.
For afternoon use this season wolfe
gowns are especially attractive. Perhaps
the striped ones most in favor but
the various checks and figures are also
much in evidence. The striped voiles are
often in two shades of color. but
narrow stripe of a decided tone in COM
bination with white is probably the most
popular. The majority of veilings are
made up over white this year. SO that in
order to give character the trimmings are
generally rather decided and striking in
coloring. A pink and white striped wolfe,
for example. will be trimmed with deep
shade of rose velvet or silk, II the tint
a touch of pale blue in the trimming Is
exceedingly smart Brown, in either the
bodice the hat, is frequently made
of to bring out the color OF pale pink,
blue or mauve.
There is great deal of lace used in
the decoration of nearly all the newest
costumes. and some of the silk and
yelling models the bodice is posed al
most entirely of white, cream or ecru lace
with just some straps or embroidered
bands of the material itself to show the
color. There is a decided suggestion of
the popular suspender dress noticeable in
many models that have straps coming up
over the shoulder from high wide band
of the material, which is either UP
from the skirt or else separated by a girdle
or band of lattice work in silk ribbon.
The sleeves and yoke in such a garment
should be composed entirely of lace with
just a touch of the color in silk or ribbon
found about the cuff. There is great
deal of embroidery used this spring. and
it Is now found possible to WORK with silk
directly upon almost any cloth, even ci.if-
fon and the lightest voiles.
Many of the skirts have no trimming ex
cept embroidery. and some of the cloth
ones are plain and fit quite close about
the hips with a soft clinging effect. In
such materials vole this style Is not
possible and folds of the goods with few
tucks about the hips used to relieve
the simplicity.

BLACK and White Costumes Are Smart for All Occasions

coarse and stiff as canvas. and both grades
with all the intermediate qualities seem to
be popular. Naturally the heavier qualities
are most serviceabe. but are not used for
the same style of elaborate frock as are
the more delicate veilings. a coarse wolfe
usually looks best made up over its own
shade while the chiffon voiles are espe-
cially light and pretty with foundati of
