AND THEIR EXPENSE
Description of Pretty Home.
Made Effects.

New YORK, Sept. .-(Speclal)-
One of the new pieces of neckwear
which has just been arranged by
man milliner, who caters to the
smart set in New York is made OF
printed linen.
The greenwork is of dull ecru and
the printed flowers are very small in
quaint pinks, blues, yellows, and here
and there touch of green.
One Inch Tie
The tie is made in the form of a
one-inch neckband, which goes around
the base of the collar, and is bound
with extra narrow black silk ribbon.
This hooks at the back. In front
there are two loops and four ends
of different lengths, all cut about an
inch wide and bound with black rib
bon.
The bow is security fastened to the
front of the neckband and it is worn
around shirtwaists 1t will be very
smart as finish to soft stocks to
put on blouse frocks of voile ana
striked flannel for early Autumn.
Home Made Ones
The price of one OF these little cra>
watts at this milliner's is Sc, but he is
charging for the idea more than the
material used. The linen is So a
yard, but it is exceedingly wide, and
no one had thought of using it for
such an accessory.
Clever women who have cseen one
and have been able to find the linen,
are now making these at home at the
price of so cents apiece, counting all
materials.
A New Stock
The girl who has the prevailing af-
lection for all kinds of new and at
tractive neckwear will want to make
one of the lace and satin stocks that
are now worn with thin lingerie
frocks. 1t reminds one of an old
fashioned style, but then all the
fashions of this summer are suggestive
of other days. While these stocks
may be brought in the shops, it is
much less expensive to make one at
home. 1t can be done instead of en-
broidery or other fancy work.
What one needs is a piece of soft
liberty satin ribbon in white or in
colors and some excellent lace. In
some stocks the lace is handmade, but
every girl who embroiders cannot
make lace. She may be able to make
an imitation lace with fine silk SOU
tache and lace stitches The ribbon is
'boned to fit the neck and is finished in
front or at back with a rosette and
two ends. 1t is just as stylish, you
know, to have the bows and streamers
at the back as at the front these
days.
Over this band of ribbon is laid a
deep edge of good lace. The seal
lops coming below the band to rest
on the blouse. 1t is put in at the
top with fine gathers of thinly laid-in
plaits. 1t is slightly tackled to the
bottom edge of the ribbon.
