" RETONNE seems to be a very de-
sirable material not only for, hat
trimmings. but for evening coats
and jumpers. 1t is a material that will
wear a very long time: It will clean or
wash. and It is extremely effective.
For all this. women have complained
that 1t looks too much like curtains and
furniture covering-but this is not the
case when it Ia embroidered. Think Of
the opportunity! The coloring and de-
sign are already there: all 1t needs Is q
little outlining in a glossy silk or gold
thread.
Select a design containing flowers Of .
reasonable size. for monstrosities are
not artistic. II the principal flower Is q
rose. outline it In gold thread. the leaves
and stems in silk. and let each object

subject many women differ.
In any case. cut the strands ten inches
long whether they are all white or mixed
coiors. This is done oy taking skein
Of yarn. opening it unit. it is just the
size that 1t is when held by some long
suffering friend or relative while being
rolled into balls. Cut 1t at the end so
that 1t may be measured of. Let each
piece be ten inches long. Then take
three strands CT yarn from one Of the
pieces. fold 1t in half and loop II through
the first stitch at one end Of the scarf:
loop three more through the next
stitch and sew on till there are three
strands looped through every stitch
across both ends o: the scarf. Then the
fringe IL finished. /: may be either
white or pink. or :he holes may be fit
ted with shades in the order used in the
border. Thus the first stitch will hold
the white. tho second green. the third
white. and sc on until the blue is reach
ed. Then five stitches in succession may
be looped with white. The shades of the
border are repeated until the last stitch
Is reached.
When the fringe is looped It may be
knotted. tied or pleated according to
the skill Of the knitter. or 1t may be
left quite plain. which may after all.
be the better way. Some women prefer
to reinforce the edges of the scarf. both
sides as well as the ends. with q single
row Of simple crochet. 1t does prevent

would be termed needle painting"
Another artistic way to treat the de-
sign IL to NIL with nat color in Ken

tire design in appropriate colors. For
instance. the grapes should be laid in

In contrasting shade OF purple: the
leaves laid in green outlined with a
harmonizing green. while the stems
and tendrils follow the same method
In browns.
For a room furnished In a certain
color the design may be outlined with
good effect to match.
Do not hesitate to treat the design
With simplicity-it will be a success.

Many fortunes will be made in the
next few years in Salt Lake City in
close-in real estate. The rise has al
ready started, the same as in Los An
geles, Seattle, Denver and other cities.
The prices of such property are much
below the real value right now. 1t
takes so much money to buy such
property, however, that the average in
weston is shut out. and the result is
that the wealthy people reap the har-
vest. By combining the capital OF
small investors this is overcome, and
the man with 800 can make as large
a profit as the millionaire. This is ac-
complished in the Mutual Realty Co..

whose money is invested in the SPLEEN
