portions as TO pull out OF shape and ap-
pear a crooked slit In the goods.
The simulated buttonholes Of a late
French model consisted OF two exagger-
ated rows OF solid embroidery, carried
two inches beyond each button. They
were heavy with padding and formed in
themselves the trimming Of the dress.
The large buttons. used only as q dec

made OF buttonholed loops Of coarse
linen thread. These were slipped through

Why not have a luncheon club?
II IS not an especially new idea, but
it's a good one. and the wonder is that
there are not more Of them in existence.
The principai object OF q luncheon

This may be with a purely social end
in view, but It ism half so entertaining

motive Is included in the reasons for the

20 prove a failure. as there are few
women who can Withstand the tempta-
ton 10 strive 20 Guido their sisters in
matters OF this kind, and without such
