Bead MedaliOns for Neck Ribbons

p MBROIDERING velvet neck bands

less blouses is growing and necessitates
the possession of these ornaments. The
velvet ribbon used for these bands is mar
row or medium width. and is usually
black, although with light colored or
white frocks cOlored velvet is sometimes
used. The ribbons are embroidered AT
intervals, with little set pattern in
beads, so that the effect of jewelled slides
is produced. A long time ago-fifty years
nj least-it used to be very much the
fashion to make chains of crystal beads
in this style, the chains being made of
several strands clasped at intervals, with
medallions of beads in a quaint design.
, In those days the beads used were beau
tiful hand cut ones, much finer than
those which are TO be had to-day, and
when the medallions were beautifully
made, as they were almost invariably in
that era of fine hand work, the chains
were often as exquisite as if they had
been composed Of tiny jewels.
The same idea is utilized for the velvet
neck ribbons of to-day. Crystal, gold,
silver, steel and colored beads are made
up in the little medallions. The designs
are all quaint and charming-a pink rose
in a crystal background. with a touch Of
green and gold in the border; a blue

In the cooking school she may putter
to her hearts content. She slips a large
white pinafore over her smart gown, rolls
up her sleeves or protects them with
snowy linen cuffs, and she may fasten a
fetching little cap abova her wavy pompa-

ready to learn the art of the perfect chef.

The first dishes are the simplest to make

head teacher at a cooking school, "are

carefully and accurately as though it,
were destined TO be tasted and criticised
by a board Of examiners. 1t is the way
TO teach them the Importance of knowing
just how much of each ingredient to use
and tho value Of using a little reason
with their work. We can live indefinitely
on plain, wholesome food. The reason
that cooks who can prepare simple dishes
are so difficult to find is because the sim,
pie dishes are the hardest and most par
ticular to make. If one were given a
test as to ones real knowledge Of cookery
fancy, highly seasoned dish would not
be the dish to determine just how much
of cook one was, but something plain
would be made the test-an omelet, a
soup or a vegetable, perhaps.
IF a girl understands simple cooking"
further explained the instructor, she
knows when dishes are properly prepared. |
Many women can tell when dishes are not
as they should be, but they do not know
why they are tasteleSs or unpalatable |
They might complain TO the chef if they
were served with such dishes at home, but
their complaints would not have half the
force they would if the mistress of the .

To Save the Stocking.
Urls will not be half so apt to dan
II lholos in THAR dnlicntn silk sfnrkin

Girls will not be half so apt to dance
Iholes in their delicate silk stockings
if only they will have slippers pow
dered inside. This simple operation per-
mits the silk and shoe to rub together
with decidedly less friction, and the wear
is thus not so great.
A girl who wears exquisitely embroid-
cred stockings with all her party frocks
and who feels distinct grievance when
holes appear has hit upon a plan that
works well with her for preserving the
hosiery intact.
Her habit was to wear holes at the back
of the heel where the slipper edge cut
across.
All slippers now have band. not more
than half an inch wide, of velvet, the
same shade, pasted just within the top
of the edge.
The bit does not show, and it serves
as perfect padding TO prevent the thin
top from cutting through the delicate silk.
All hosiery. whether for dancing or
walking, should be long enough, though
not so big as to wrinkle over the instep.
Better that it should be over long, how
ever, than too short. for the superfluous
half inch can be slowed away, whereas
shortness means holes at once.
