Cushions Lend Distinction.

Every woman has been proud to
own one or more sofa and bed cush-
ions made from the handkerchief
linen and squares of filet lace Moth
ing gives more distinction to a bed

addition of one of these cushions,

for pincushions. If you are looking
for dainty present for another girl
you cannot go far wrong in choosing
one.

the material, but fasten into tiny silk
loops. They are slipped over colored

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 had somewhat forgotten
the art of making beautiful trim
mings, and cheap machine made edg-
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. if 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 it is easy enough to introduce
handsome piece of embroidery on a
corsage that can be used with more
than one frock.

hemmed at each end.
AS finish to the lower part OF a
wall mating which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is a
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 or
rolled up when not in use, are also
practical made of mating.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
porch beam.
