waists The introduction Of shadow
embroidery was a boon to many, as
It was not only a rapid worker. but
required no expert embroiderer 10

soon became popular.
Now there is a new kind OF work
in the feld-at least 1t is an old kind
revived-darned net. and II might we'll
rival the popular shadow embroidery.
The model Is of white net. and mer-
cerized cotton Nos. s. and is used
for the darning. The net for the
line and tucks are put in to form
shallow round yoke. No. cotton
Is used to run the tucks. and care
must be taken to keep In the meshes
Of the net or the work will be-
com. crooked. Each tuck is ended
with French knot. the thread being
securely fastened on the wrong side.
1t is advisable TO use blunt needles In
proper sizes to carry the different
numbers OF cotton. This Is necessary
TO avoid fraying the cotton and pull
ing the net. This tucked portion IL
made into a simple blouse into which
the sleeves are sewed. The over
blouse consists Of two straight strips Of

A straight band is darned for the coll

which finishes collar and cuffs is made
by running the heaviest cotton about
eight inches from the straight edge, then
turning. back the net and darning down
with two other grades through both
thicknesses of the net. This makes q

darned either I'm seH-tones or In con-

PARIS. April :.
TOW that the time for summer
dresses Is almost here. the

pom pantalons cannot be worn with
sheer muslin or lace dresses. There
FORE madame must recall to a Ger.
tain extent her lingerie ruffies. plain
or elaborate. according to the size OF
her pocketbook. but always provided
with deep fiat fiouncc that cannot in
any way spoil the straight line of her
sheath skirt. For silk dresses creme
de chine may. OF course. be worn, but
pongee is very popular. and It may
be embroidered or lace trimmed. an
one may choose. Perhaps this variety
Is best when made with q circular
ruf11e embroidered In silk or mercer

In popularity. and they give much
satisfaction when madame wishes to
assume that long. 1.-the look that
Dame Fashion so eagerly advocates

Inc great couturiers wisely provide
petticoats with their own creations
so there can be no possibility of the most
Ignorant foreigner making a mistake.
ihere are many real Parisiennes who
greatly admire the soft lawn skirts
IN violet. pink and blue; these are
really attractive and dainty. and
sometimes they are Of striped or ng-
urea material trimmed with plain bias
bands. Needless to state, all OF the
lingerie tupons must be fitted like a
glove almost to the knees. Petticoats
are interesting and various. but the
only set rule in regard to them 4. thnt
they must be soft and they must AL

The Paquin Skirt

Wy yoRD comes from Paris that the
\" Paquin skirt has not been re-
w eeived at all enthusiastically
in fact, the Parisienne has totally
neglected It. A French dressmaker says
that she saw 1t only once. and then on
an actress.
This is not encouraging news about
fashion that has become popular In this
country. but those who own skirts on
this model need not repine. for the
American; holds place all her own. and

to select any style from any country
