PILLOWS OF ROSE PETALS
Included Nowadays in the Outfits OF
Young Brides.

Rose pillows are finding their way
into the outfits of young brides, the
cushion being always the gift OF an
intimate girl friend.
II is made Of dried rose petals, spe-
eially prepared. If the giver is one of
great sentiment. When time or money
is an object the rose leaves are bought
already dried.
In either case the covering is white
satin, Ornamented with sprays OF pink
roses, done either in paints or en-
broidery.
The cushion itself is about u
inches long and eight broad. and
when flowers are bought specially for
1t they are stripped at once from their
stems and spread out in the sun to
dry. This may be done from time TO
time, and if arranged during the sum-
mer, when the blossoms may come
from the girls own rose garden, it
makes a pretty pastime.
When ready 10 use as stufing the
petals arc put into a case Of sheer
lawn and tightly stitched, the whole
being done by hand over this then
is slipped the satin cover OF white,
and the gift is complete for the bride
who is supposed TO have It with her
on her honeymoon. As a matter Of
fact she is more apt to relegate IL to
the drawing-room.
One girl whose sister made such a
pillow for her declared that she meant
to use it. and asked that the cover be

exquisitely embroidered in white roses
and butterflies. all the work being
that Of the sister. A frill four inches
wide. edged with real Valenciennes
lace, is put around the cushion, and
the case buttons on.
II can be removed and washed per-
feoty. which makes Il for some per-
sons more desirable than satin.

escape from death 20 the fact that he
was sleeping in a hut apart from the

they were devoured by the hundred or

Towels In colors.

The new fad Of embroidering tovels
in colors has several things to recon-
mend IL aside from the fact that il is
relief from the plain white work
which has been the fashion so long.
One advantage Is that the towels can
be embroidered in colors to match
the furnishings OF the room, a point
that commends 1t 10 many women.
Then IL Offers a variety in treatment
for the same colOrs can be used IN
many ways. The stitches used are va
rlous, the Wallachian and satin stitch
being favcrites. Care should be
taken not to choose cotton to work
with, as IL will fade. The best OF
silks only should be used.

Mnnd SILK

A good way OF mending a wooden
or silk dress In which a round hole
has been torn. and where only a patch
could remedy matters, IS this: The
frayed portions around the tear should
be carefully smoothed and a piece of
material moistened with thin mu-
cilag0 placed under the hole. A
heavy weight should be put upon 1t
until it is dry. when it is only pos
sibls to discover the mended place by
careful observation.
