FOR SUMMER DIvANs
FiIet Covers Are Pretty and by Nc
Means Hard to Make.

The woman who does net confine
the cushions of her summer divans en-
tirely to madras and washable cottons
should have one of the new filet pillow
covers which are much easier to make
than they look.
The pillows should be quite small
and fiat, about the size used in baby
coaches and the covers made of alter
nate squares of filet and hand embroi-
dered linen, edged with Cluny lace,
should button on that they may be
often washed.
Select for the linen squares an open
work design in which eyelet work pre-
dominates; use only enough of the
satin stitch to make stems or a few
dots. Do not have too much work
on these squares; the main thing is to
have them quite open to show the col
ored silk or mercerized pillow cover
beneath.
Even easier is one of the covers
made from an entire filet square that
just fits the pillow. The cover may
be alike on both sides, or, if that is
too expensive, the underside may be
of sheer lawn or of inexpensive filet
net.
Some of the imitation filet squares
are very good looking and if dyed with
tea to creamy tint will make charm
ing sofa pillows at comparatively little
cost
Sometimes these covers are finished
with a narrow overcasted seam; more
often they have an edge of Cluny put
on flat, without gathering The COM
bination of these two laces is particu-
larly effective.

The Outdoor Girls Gloves.

Unless you are typical outdoor girl
with large income, do not invest in
chamois skin gloves for summer The
athletic girl who drives a great deal
likes this large loose glove for rough
wear, but they are not a good invest
ment for the typical summer girl They
make the hand look large, and while
they wash as clerks guarantee they
will, like the chamois skin you use
for cleaning windows, they have weak
spots and wash through on the latter.
A good silk glove is far better in
vestment, but do not be inveigled into
buying brilliant blues, greens, puppies
and rose colors to match your silk or
linen frock. White or soft shade of
tan arc in better taste; black gloves
arc hot in summer and should be worn
by those In mourning only.

The Handmade Necktie,

From being looked upon with suspi-
cion, the crocheteG or knitted tie has
become the coveted possession of the
Well-dressed man. But remember that
there are homemade ties and home
made ties! If you would make one ac-
ceptable to the fastidious man, you
must spare no pains to make it good
and firm and even and of the proper
length and breadth and correctly
shaped and properly stayed where it
passes around the neck-and, too, the
color must be all right.

EeedinQ the Stock.

The victim of the following story,
told in Mrs. Henry w. Coles "A
Lady's Tour Around Monte Rosa"
was possessed of keen sense Of
humor. Otherwise his dignity might
have been ruffled by the unconscious
revelation which came tc his ears.
In the course of Mrs. Coles trav.
els she met Rev. Robert Montgomery,
the poet, who told her an incident of
his early career TN the pulpit. When
he was first admitted to holy orders
he was appointed curate IN a rural
Scotch district, and lodged in the
house of small tenant farmer.
Notwithstanding his Office Of
clergyman, the family did not appear
to held their boarder in high venera-
ton, for one day he heard the woman
servant call out to her mistress:
Missis, shall feed the pigs first,
or gle the mon his dinner?' "-Youth's
