Embroidered Lingerie.

Any girl who embroiders may pos.
sess dainty lingerie this year, for the
work is quite simple, and the garments
may be bought already stamped.
1t is a good idea to have the gar.
ments match throughout. and this is
easily done, for the separate pieces
can be had bearing the same pattern.
One of the simplest and most eff
fective designs is in French polka
dots, which are stamped on the ruff
fes, the edges of which are scalloped
in buttonhole stitch.
Conventional scroll designs and lit
tie travelling vines are also good.
There is really no end to the pretty
trimmings that may be put on lin
gerie, and the girl who can design her
own patterns is particularly fortunate,
for she it is who can have distinction
and character in all the pieces.
Butterflies make a most charming
design, especially when bits of lace
or drawn work are used in the wings.
A girl who has never done fancy
work will find that with a little in
struction and patient work she can
embroider lingerie and blouses that If
bought in the shops would cost large
sums.

These latter cases are rare, and the re-

harm to the student who wrote the pa

be a real gem, which does the student
good by putting the professor in a
good humor and so making him un-
consciously mark the paper less severe

one paper recently. One question was

If ones face is careworn and slightly

fact.
The curiass-like upper garment with
an attached skirt is one of the most
attractive styles of the moment and

terials.
The model shown in the sketch is
unusually smart and attractive, with

Tho Gray Vogue.

Gray is having great vogue just
now for both mems and women's
clothes. The gray man is in much
evidence, and he has chosen a partic-
ularly silvery one Of gray for his sum-
mer suit.
The gray favored by the fashionable
woman is one of the new grayish rose
colors, with a subtle touch Of rose be-
meath the gray. Dull silver lace is
used to trim such gown when it is
expressed in silk or faced cloth, and
another successful gray visiting gown
is in soft gray satin embroidered in
gray silk and dull silver, the latter in
pewter tone, which shades we'll with
the satin.

The Veil Sachet.

The veil sachet is the latest adjunct
to the dressing table or chest Of
drawers. The sachet is made in the
same style as the better known hand
kerchief case, but more oblong in
shape. 1t is lined with quilted satin
delicately perfumed with powdered or
ris root and the outside covered with
silk or satin, plain, not brocaded, so
that the following lines neatly exc
cuted in fancy lettering with pen and
india ink may be the more easily read:
Folded in this dainty case
Are flimsy wells for thy fair face.
A flower or butterfly may also be
added, either by etching or embroid-
cry, and the sachet finished off with a
corded edge and ribbon ties.

Matches treated as above would be

Since more rubbing is required to light

them on fire by accidental dropping.
