EpGiNGs FOR PILLOW CASES.
Crochet Worl; the Best for Use In the
Hot Weather.

Crocheted edgings make pretty
and useful finish for pillow cases used
during the summer, when simple bed
furnishings are preferred to the more
ornate. Many women keep bit Of
this crochet work at hand to do when
enjoying the cool breezes of the ver-
anda or Willing away few minutes
in their rooms. 1t makes excellent
pickup work.
The favorite crochet pattern for this
use is the Greek key, which Is made
with the corner worked in the lace.
For shams the corner is necessary,
but for the pillow cases straight GRO
chet Is all that Is required. The
Greek key pattern is about two inches
in width, with battlemented edge.
The key design runs through the upper
side Of the lace.
A wheel pattern looks well when
used this way and is simpler to make
on account of being narrower. The ia
vorite one has row of wheels through
the center and fan-shaped edge.
The Worcester cross border is an
other effective pattern If one likes a
wider lace. When made 1t is at leas,
three inches in width.

SPEND TIME ON THE coIFFURE
Simple Effects Require Patience and
Artistic Taste.

Present coiffures reveal infinite pa
tience and infinite time in the doing,
and the effect is simple and artless in
the extreme. No more of your round
bullet heads, encircled with regular
and almost metallic waves achieved by
the systematic passage of hot iron
mathematically balanced, and sur
mounted by geometrical coil of pre-
else proportions and definite outline
all this is now thought provincial,
prim, graceless, not to say demode.
Instead, the hair Is bundled, rolled,
twisted and looped with the appear
ance of carelessness and indefinite in
tention, high drawn here, dropping
there, now sweeping In a smooth, long,
fiat stretch of shining lock, then break
ing into a witching tendril or fascinat-
ing curl. The iron crumples up this
little spot, or a bit OF brilliantine
smoothes out that, after the coiffure
is almost completed, as the exigencies
of the hair ornament or hat suggest.
No two women wear their hair alike,
save that II is done over, invariably,

fashion than for the morning.-VogO
