Much of the smart effect OF any
tailormade suit depends upon It's ac.
cessories. Needless to say, anything
savoring Of the directoire should not
be accompanied by linen collar and
a stiff little tie. These belong to what
is known as the English type Of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored box
or semi-fitting coat and gored or plait-
ed skirt, minus trimming. With the
French model there should be a high
lace collar or a chiffon stock-glving
the desired soft effect about the chin
and the frilly lacey front, in addition
to the wrist rufies. which should be OF

simple iemstItohlne Of Towels is
Easily Taught.

Homemade face and hand towels
wear much better than ready-made
ones, and are so soft and pleasant to
sew that quite little girls are often
delighted to help with the simple hem
stitching. Those for best use and the
spare room may have an insertion OF
fine crochet or torchon lace, and this
is stronger than making a drawn
thread pattern in the huckaback, a
yard and quarter OF which should be
allowed for each towel.
One seldom sees fringed towels
nowadays, but II they are preferred
the fringes should be overcast before
they are taken into use. This is done
by laying the edge of the towel over
the first finger of the left hand-hold
ing the fringe between the first and
second fingers-and working an over
cast stitch to prevent the loose
threads from unraveling. Linen
thread, not ordinary sewing cotton
should be used for this purpose, as
also for hemstitching or drawn
thread work on huckaback towels.
