Ruches That May
Be Made at Home

There has been this autumn de-
cided reversion to severly plain Ell
fects In the hats and gowns for street
wear, and with the introduction once
more of long leg O mutton sleeves
on the tailor-made coats, stin collars
and laundered ties and plain turned
down coat collars have been once
more adopted. while soft net ruches
have been quite done away with.
There is, however, a short time every
spring and fall when IL is necessary
to wear some light boa or ruche
about the throat, and yet fur or even
any prettier piece would be too warm.
A net or lace ruche is always neces-
sary possession, therefore, and, indeed
with revers tailor coat light ruche
will often give just the necessary
touch to make the jacket becoming.
The newest .ruches are totally unlike
all those that have been in vogue for
some years past, and perhaps for that
very reason are extremely pretty and
becoming to almost anyone. These are
made of heavy fishnet bordered Will,
a fun little ruche of Chantilly lace,
and instead of standing up sufily
about the throat are cut with rather
the effect of a cape, and fall down fiat
over the shoulders.
Instead of being more intricate than
the former style of ruche-as would
appear to be the case at first glance
these ruches are in realit. quite with
in the possibilities of howe manufac-
ture. The principal point to remem-
ber is to provide plenty of material,
for when the first stiffness and body
leave-which unfortunately happens
almost at once--there must be left
sufficient net to stand up well and not
look poor and skinny. Four yards of
the net and a yard and half of
Chantilly lace are ample material, and
then four and a half yards of one inch
satin ribbon will make rosettes and
streamers to finish on the ruche at
tractively. The ruche, which consists
of five pieces or capes of the net,
should be eight inches in width in the
center of the back narrowed off to
four inches in front, and the curved
satin band on which it is made should
be twenty-four inches in length

Striped IWeedS.

The ingenuity and skill of the cut
ters have been taxed to the utmost in
arranging the stripes in the fashion
able black and gray and shaded brown
and gray striped tweeds which are
being utilized for so many of the au-
tumn and winter hip-length coats and
costumes. Among these there is a
representative model of semifitting
front fastened with double rows of
mohair buttons amid cords the same
color as the stripe in the material
Collar and cuffs are either perfectly
plain and finished with stitching, or
faced with II plain cloth, but on both
small buttons give a decorative finish
With all of the coats and skirts tail
or-made is worn neat shirt made
either of the new plaid, fancy surah
or coarsely woven wash silks, finished
with neat silk stock and single fold
linen turnover collar. Plain and fancy
waistcoats, as well as black satin e1n-
broidered collarless vests, will be
worn in conjunction with the en-
broidered linen habit front which was
the fashion some 20 years ago.

Neck Bows Worn
by School Girl

To the school girl the neck bow is
the most important article of the
wardrobe. for usually II is the one
piece of finery which is permitted her
during school hours, and there is
more opportunity to select what Is be-
coming in the tie than in most of the
other items of her everyday ward
robe. Just at present there Is quite
a variety in permissible neck ties for
the school girl, and she may rejoice
in bright colored silk or fine embroid.
cred ties, as suits her taste.
The jabot effect, which have be-
come so fashionable for womeu's wear
are not worn by young girls. The turn
over collar, embroidered or otherwise,
which the girl wears, looks best with
bow Tie having short ends.
Girls to whom the severity of the
style is becoming are wearing plain
string ties in silk with pointed ends
and made short, so that the bow is
quite small. The tie is usually in the
color of the suit, or, of course, If the
waist be colored or embroidered in
sible. There are also white linen
string ties which have the ends en-
broidered in white and colors. Dark
blue is especially attractive on these
white ties.
Girls to whom the plain string tie
is not becoming are wearing full bow
ties of rather small size. These are
not so much made of plated silk as
they were. Instead the bows are made
of sheer linen, there being no loops.
but four ends-two ends each way.
The ends are finished in broad points.
The lower pair of ends are usually
edged with narrow lace and the upper
pair embroidered with French dots
in color or tiny flowers in blue, red
or pink Some of the bows are made
with four ends all of which show the
upper left hand end having a colored
butterfly embroidered on it and the
lower right hand end another butter
fly.
There are a great many Windsor
Ties also being worn with turnover
collars, both with the high and low col
,ars. For some occasions these are
very attractive, but most girls find
them not so trim looking for regular
wear as the sitter bows. For wear
with soft silk waists and embroidered
collars there are small pleated bows of
net and lace. The pleated net bows
are also embroidered in colors.

imaginable ideas are carried out with
combination of lace, braid and en-
broidery.

Homemade Shoe Trees.

In making shoe trees from old stock
ings filled with bran, as is the habit or
the economical, there should be enough
of the leg of the stocking left to allow
the bran to be pushed mp as the form
is being put in. Otherwise, espe-
cially If the shoe is at all damp, 1t
will be almost impossible to manipu-
late Il.
Keep a tape fastened t. the seam OF
the stocking so it can be tied or united
at a moments notice. When putting
the form into the shoe unite this tape,
refastening it after pushing the bran
down to hold out the shoe.
There is but one objection to this
kind of shoe tree; mice like it as well
as you do, and care should be taken
to keep the shoes out of their way,
