able than q stately brocade or satin
which will stand alone. In fact, the
very filmy, clinging fabric which
seems practically without body. over
laid with fne stitchery In which not a
line Of machine work is shown. ts the
correct thing for present day needs.
There Il much talk about simple eff
fects in 1908 frocks. but the simplicity
Is hard to ind. To be sure. the lines
themselves are simple enough.
Skirts to all intents are plain. often
absolutely devoid of trimming. but the
blouses and wraps make up for the Sc
verify Of tho skirts. Neither Is there
any simplicity to be noted In the trim
rnings used. which arc trimmings upon
trimmings. embroidery upon lace. or
even lace upon lace.
One Of the needle-work fads which
gives most pleasing effects Is that OF
touching up laces with a bit Of dell
cately tinted hand embroidery. An In
expensive imitation cluny or filet lace
can be made charming by embroider-
Ing over part Of the pattern In color
or doing . stamped pattern upon the
lace.
Hours can be spent In simply hand,
running tucks, shocking or rose-shir@'
ring fine nets, chiffon, narQuisette and
similar soft materials for house frocks.
Nothing SO certainly stamps frock as
cheap like machine stitchery on soft,
chinging fabric.
Another feature Of up-to-date sewing
is the application of lace medallions,
or the combination OF embroidered
medallions with lace insertions.
Done by machine this always has a
factory look, even II made at home.
Almost invariably the stitchery will
draw and prevent the perfect adjust
ments Of skirt or bertha or sleeve.
The blouse displayed in our illustra-
ton suggests an excellent use Of short
lengths In lace or embroidery. In the
model a very soft messaline In sill
very-gray was used. the tucks below
the shaped yoke being run by hand.
The yoke was made from strips Of
novelty lace, in cluny design. with the
flowers worked over in silver grays.
blues and green. Joined by German
val insertion. It will be noted that
the insertion employed in the yoke
runs down the upper portions Of the
sleeves, a very good effect.

Pointers Picked Up by the Exercise

There is something to be learned in
every house we enter, some valuable
bit of information to be cleaned from
nearly everybody we meet. At musi-
