The Cameo Popular.

Canoes seem to be with us to stay.
According to recent fashion note,
they are even being utilized for the
drop earrings that are fashionable Just
at present, and the dainty effects are
to be found in large and small pins,
in belt buckles and in bracelets. Per.
haps there is no more effective use
for the cameo than in bracelet set
In Jet or old gold. One beautiful de-
sign noted in one of the shops recently
was wide carved Jet setting for most
delicately carved cameo. Then there
are large brooches which are exquis.
itely outlined, and even hatpins. That
the cameo is extremely popular Is
demonstrated by the many limitations,
some of them exceedingly good, which
are to be found. ia

CUSHIONS FOR SUMMER DlvANs
Fliet Covers Are Pretty and by No
Means Hard to Nuke.

The woman who does rot 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 custer 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 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 fflet 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 fllet
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 narrow overcasted SEAM more
often they have an edge of Cluny put
on fiat, without gathering. The COM
bination of these two laces is particu.
larly effective.
