COLORED HANDKERCHIEFS.
First Opposed, Now In Favor, Espe-
piaIly Those of japanese Design.

Colored handkerchiefs weren't received
with great deal Of enthusiasm when
they appeared from Paris a few months
ago Some people even called them vul-
gar. in spite Of the dainty borders and
embroidery which they displayed when
tucked In the tiny breast pocket.
The colorcd mouchoir has come to its
own now, however, and the very girls who
scorned them most are now filling their
handkerchief cases with riotous profu-
sion Of fancy checks, printed borders, ana
COlored embroidery.
Quite the newest thing is the japanese
handkerchief, with its dainty fight OF but
terhies across the center. Sometimes there
are little ones and big ones flying around
the border, or again they are gathered in
one corner as if lowering over a flower.
The violet handkerchiefs with a tiny
embroidered basket in one corner. fairly
overlooking with the dainty flowers, are
the choice of the violet lover. Some
women use these Colored handkerchiefs
just as they would the plain ones, but
every girl should have at least one 10 tuck
into the breast pocket of her mannish

was reading the latest novel 10 the
others while they worked. Something
that I can make quickly. for I've abso-
lutely no speed at sewing. couldn't

Put that book down" commanded
the active member, and III show you
how to make a pair of cretonne bed
slippers this very minute" The girl Of
the cretonne g~volunteered to lend a
yard of material that she couldn't use
that afternoon and the hostess
brought forth a common old knitted
slipper as a pattern. Then the active
member cut out pair of cretonne tops
by the old slipper and told the associ-
ate member TO seam them IN the back.
A lining of plain cotton cloth was cut
the same size. the edges turned in and
stitched on the sewing machine, and
the slippers were ready TO be over
handed 10 pair of cork soles.
Now get some coarse linen lace next
time YOU go down town" commanded
the active member, and sew it round
the tops
1t was done so quickly that every
girl there resolved TO go into cretOnne
fancy work Immediately. At the next
meeting one was round making flow
cred bags for soileG handkerchiefs. A
yard of tho material was gathered at
each end on 10 an embroidery ring.

the rings were held together the Gre
tonne formed a delightfully."- capacious
bag. Another was making small table
covers. with centegs of the cretonne
and a broad border of plain sateen to
match the color of the flowers. A
third was making a set of over-drap-
cries for her sisters chamber windows

muslin curtains. still another had in
vented set Of bureau scarfs, with an
edge Of coarse Cluny lace.
And the beauty Of It all is that you

the associate member as she basted
busiiy at a Cretonne pillow cover
