GOOD IDEA FOR THOSE
WHO ARE FOND OF THE
FRAGRANCE OF ROSES

What's the use of laboriously saving
rose leaves to put into a potpourri of
which no one ever lifts the lid? "a
rose by any other name may smell as
sweet" but certainly its petals will
smell a great deal sweeter in some
other place than tight jar, however
ornamental.
Why not take up those shut-up rose
leaves of last summers gathering and
put them into a pillow to be slipped
among your clothes? Then will you
ever carry with you the fragrance of
the garden in June.
A dainty case for one of these pill
lows is made of one Of the pretty
Japanese silks covered with queer
designs. Make the case 9h by inch
es finished, with hem that stands
inch or more.
Slip this over case OF thin lawn
In which the rose petals have been
placed. This case should be Just the
size Of the cover minus the hem.
The cover, which has first been
sewed up and turned, has the end
blind stitched and is then stitched on
the machine close to the line OF the
inner case, leaving the hem to stand
| out as a finish.
Several Of these little pillows could
be made from the contents Of one rose
jar and will be found much more sat
isfactory If one really wants to sniff
the fragrant spicy odor.
Dried lavender can be used in the
pillows instead of the rose leaves. OF
1t Is a dainty way to make a small
hop pillow for a nervous friend who
finds the smell of hops soporific.

Better DRESSING.

A strict adherence to the distinctive
forenoon cloth costume is having It's
effect.
All unfit gaudness of dress during
the morning hours has almost van
ished from the fashionable shopping
quarters, while the tallOr-made output
is giving an air of sobriety linked with
elegance that is most gratifying, says
Vogue Never has the distinction be-
tween a forenoon and afternoon style
of dress, proclaimed by the leading
gownmakers and tailors and supported
by the best milliners, been taken up
with such marked approval as it has
this season. 1t Is to be hoped the
custom will spread rapidly. and we
shall be spared the sight OF white
plumes and ermine, worn shopping be
fore the luncheon hour
AS the winter opens one sees fewer
of the little bodice coats worn. They
are replaced by half-long ones and
some fur-trimmed coats as well as the
all-fur jackets or basquecoats.

1t was made of "a inches of four
inch ribbon. The lower end had a
narrow tie.ribbon attached and the
upper end was turned down, then
folded back, to make a fiat, shallow
pocket. Two pieces of whalebone were
inserted in the hens across the top
of the pocket, which held a small col
lection Of hooks and eyes and odd but
tons. Under the pocket was sewed
a piece of pink flannel, hanging dou-
BILE against the length of the ribbon.
The flannel was well covered with
rows of black and white doubled
thread, silk and darning cotton, with
a few waxed shoe cords, each thread
ed into its appropriate needle and
basted lengthwise down the material

One to Three at Whist.

The late Senator Hoar was extreme
ly fond Of whist, which he played
with remarkable skill
A friend says that the only time he
ever knew the usually placid and
genial man from Massachusetts, to be
absolutely impatient was when on
one occasion at whist the senator had
an unusually stupid partner. Notwith-
standing this handicap, the pair were
winning right along even against good
players.
In the middle OF one game, some
one paused behind the senator's chair
and asked, well, senator, how are
you getting on?"

WAY OF REMoDELlNG
THE APPAREL OF
THE GROWING GIRL

If you have a girl who grows so
rapidly that her dresses soon become
too short in the skirt and waist, you
can easily remodel the dress IL you
have fair idea of sewing. Rip out
the sleeves and cut the dress out to
yoke length. The waist may then be
let down slightly to make it large
enough. Make yoke and new sleeves
for the waist of silk and use the dis
carded sleeves to make a slightly gath
cred yoke seven or eight inches deep
to lengthen the gathered skirt. Ma,
ing use of the old sleeves In this way
saves expense, and the skirt always
| looks prettier when the yoke Is made
Of the same material. The Joining OF
| the yoke and skirt may be hidden By a
three-quarter inch wide braid. Two
rows of braid may be stitched an inch
or so apart lower down on the skirt.
The joining of the waist and yoke
may also be covered with the braid,
and 1t Is an easy matter here to carry
the braid out at the edges OF the yoke
over the arms to give a wide-shoul-
dered effect. The braid may also be
sewed around the armhole, under the
arm. to produce the effect Of the large
armhole. The silk for the sleeves and
| yoke should match in color as nearly
as possible the material Of the dress
as a new, bright colored silk might
tend to emphasize any shabbiness II
| the dress is at all worn.
If a plaid or check silk is decided
upon the check or plaid should be
small, and the predominating color
should match that Of the material. The
braid should be some bright coloret
braid, which will brighten the somber
ness of the dress if it is dark colored
A braid with pull thread in 1t will b'
the easiest to work with.
