ternating with rows of embroidered dots
and the vermicelli design nets are prob
ably the fancy nets most generally in de-
mand, but there are charming fine de-
signs of higher prices, suggesting COM
binations of fine lace, openwork, stitch
cry, etc, and fine meshes overrun by
most delicate spidery designs of vines,
| or leaves or flowers.
Some exceedingly effective nets are of
German valenciennes mesh, a narrow
stripe Of the plain mesh alternating with
a fancy stripe like narrow valenciennes
insertion. Or again, one sees this valen-
ciennes net with a very narrow stripe of
the simple dot design familiar in narrow
real valenciennes insertion, alternating
with a stripe slightly wider in one of the
more running or fanciful designs popular
in insertion.
Marquisette is made up in much
the same way as the nets and frequently
a look of GOODNESS is given to it by white
lining, though many prefer to keep
blouse lining and material in the one
color matching the costume. Some
charming effects are obtained, however,
by laying chiffon over contrasting color.
This arrangement requires careful appre-
citation of color values if the blouse is
to harmonic perfectly with the costume
and not to assume the forbidden separate
blouse effect
| For very serviceable wear the blouse
of crepe, messaline, soft satin, pOngee,
I ETC., is often used, but it lacks the sug
| gestion of GOODNESS and lightness given
| by the sheer materials even in dark 4col-
orings. Embroidered or braided in self
| color and relieved and made becoming by
| some sort of chic lace or net stock and
jabot, it is, however. pretty and com
! Portable.
Lingerie blouses are, of course, still
popular and, at their best, charming. But
| the cheap blouses. lavishly trimmed in
| coarse lace embroidery, are an abomina-
ton, as they have always been. For or
binary wear a very simple tucked blouse
of fine linen or batiste or a fine cross
bar batiste with only a little good lace
! or embroidery is far preferable to the
more elaborate models in cheap mate
rials. Handsome tailored blouses, Sc
verely cut and tucked, but of fine mate
rails are shown in many shops and are
| exceedingly good looking worn with one
Of the attractive separate collars or
! stocks.
| The Dutch collars are comfortable and
cool and almost invariably becoming to
young women. Fine French lingerie
blouses with round or square Dutch neck
| finish are among the smart things, and
will doubles be popular with those to
whom they are becoming.
Lingerie dresses are worn a great deal
| this season and will undoubtedly remain
| extremely popular through the summer
| season. A larger use Of color is notice.
| able than was the case last year. 1t is
| apparent in both the dresses themselves
and in the accessories in the way of
| trimming.
Another kind of blouses which de-
serves mention is that of the tub models
| in white and color which have the ad-
vantage Of carrying out the costume col
or scheme instead of seeming altogether
| separate affairs, and yet have GOODNESS
! and washableness. In white embroidered
with color and in batistes, linons and
cotton nets which have dainty designs of
| white and color many delightful blouses
| are shown, and frequently the figured
material, whose note of color. be it I'M.
derstood, is very slight, is trimmed
| in narrow bands or borders of plain color
| to emphasize the color note.
| A great deal of embroidery is used and
| it would hardly be possible to lay too
| much stress upon this fact. 1t appears
| not only in bands, fOuncings and all
overs of machine work, but in the most
| elaborate and extravagant form of hand
work. There is a distinctly new pattern
| of embroidery called Richelieu. This is
in guipure effect and appears in both ma
| chine and handwOrk.
| fashionable and the open English de-
] signs are also seen great deal. Irish
| crochet is also quite popular. COmblna.
| tons of lace and embroidery are en-
| ployed on the most elaborate dresses.
| Practically everything is trimmed lavish
! ly at present.
| Very dainty high collars for wear with
summer shirtwaists are made of allover
| eyelet embroidery, sloped a little highei
| toward the back and firmly boned From
the front of the stock hangs pleating
of plain lawn edged with an insertion
of allover embroidery. Other stocks are
made of handkerchief linen into which
! is set narrow insertion of cluny alter
mating with dots worked by hand on the
| linen. Pretty little tabs to match these
| collars are in pear-shape, scalloped
| around the edge and embroidered with
| little dots. Some times there are straight
pleatings of the linen, finished at the
| bottom with pin tucks and insertions of
the cluny lace.
The shops show a great variety Of
beautiful colors, weaves and designs IN
stockings this spring, but most of them
are so fanciful, that they can be worn
only by extravagant dressers and only
upon certain occasions. The stockings
for general wear show but little change
from those of former seasons.
There is but little change in gloves this
season. The long sleeve of fashion has
brought the short one-button and two
button gloves back to prominence and
these are offered in every imaginable
color or design, in every kind of ma
terial, from chamois to the finest and
softest Of kid.
Lentils are too little known in this
country. They are nutritious and may
be used in a variety of ways. A soup
may be made using lentils as one would
split dried peas. For a dinner vegetable,
wash two cupfuls of the lentils and soak
them over night in cold water. Simmer
the next morning gently for an hour.
Drain and cover with warm water. Cook
mill narfecfly tender and then drain
