Fine Embroidery,

Now that sartorial success depends
so much on the mixing Of colors, the
experts in Observation-Disclosures are max.
ing exact copies of the old trimmings
and tapestries of the past; and most
successful many of them are. A few
years ago-we bad somewhat forgotten
the art Of making beautiful trim
mings, and cheap machine-made eda
ings, known as passementeries, spoilt
any remaining faith we had In this
kind of adornment. But for the past
few seasons the leading influences
that control the world of dress have
given forth the edict that embroider
les. II used at all, must be only the
best. Therefore In some cases where
economy has to be studied we must
use our embroideries very sparingly.
and 1t is easy enough to introduce
q handsome piece of embroidery on .
corsage that can be used with mora
than one frock.

TO UTILIZE STRAW MATING.
Material Is Well Adapted for Many
Purposes Besides That OF
Covering Floors.

Straw mating may be put to many
uses beside the conventional one OF
covering floors.
1t is particularly effective in sum.
mer cottage and piazza furnishings.
Table covers may be made Of the
fine, closely woven Japanese mating,
hemmed at each end.
AS a finish to the lower part Of a
wall mating which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is q
change from the more usual covering.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with the fine, pliable
kind of mating, to match the strip on
the porch floor.
Wondow shades and awning to keep
the sun off, which are tied back OF
rolled up when not in use, are alse
practical made of mating.
They are hemmed top and botton
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame Of
porch beam.

Death by burning is death in its
most horrible form. Gasolene vapor is

greatly TO the danger. Therefore the
