THRIFTY WOMEN OF FRANCE
Their Leisure Moments Spent In EN-
broldering the paintiest Of
Underwear.

The desire for French underwear
becomes more and more 'nsistent.
That placed on special sale is not
within the reach of every one. Even
although rgeatly reduced. the price
is necessarily prohibitiye TO many be-
cause of the very fact that hand work.
involving time. has been put upon IT,.
To be French means to be thrifty.
The Parisienne Is saving on the one
hand that she may be the more ex-
travagant where there Is the demand
for elegance.
Imhued with this spirit. the women
OF France embroider day IN and day
out, not necessarily to the neglect OF
other things, for idleness is not ma
tional fault among them, and they fill
in the moments that. otherwise. would
be wasted by a less thrifty people.
Very acceptable to the true French
woman is even the simplest OF this

most frequently uses is the very SIM

Partisan choice, with a more twisted
cotton for the buttonholing.

ExTENDER FOR SHIRT WAIST
Simple Continuance That Sometimes
Improves the Appearance OF the
Very Slim Girl.

Although il is the fashion to appear
slender. even to the extreme, some
times the slim girl finds that her waist
will set better If worn over a shirt
waist extender such as is worn In
the shops, and which may be had at
a very small cost. The newest OF
these is made with very long top
ruffie that is sewed to the arm straps
as far as the shoulders and fills out
all hollows. At the lower edge OF the
extender is a tape run through a
casing so that the fullness may be
adjusted to suit the wearer.
For the princess and the back OF
skirts. we are provided with strips OF
tape to which are riveted either hooks
and eyes, or ball and socket closings-
These fastenings are bought by the
yard and first basted and then
stitched along the edge of the tape TO
the material. Not only have these a
great advantage over the ordinary
hook and eye, in that they are great
time savers, but there will be no trou-
BILE about getting each hook and eye
in the proper place. When the ones
at the top or bottom are placed ex-
actly opposite each other the rest are
bound to be in the right place

CHARM OF FLOWERS
MUCH DEPENDS ON PROPER Ar.
RANGEMENT.
Beautiful Blossoms often Spoiled by
Unwise Placing That Mars the
Decorative Seheme-A Hint
from the Japanese.

A study of the arrangement OF now
ers shows that beautiful flowers are
often spoiled by unwise placing. The
Japanese tell us that flowers should
be used In their seasons. Therefore,
carnations. flags, iris. daisies, sweet
peas, apple blossoms. tulips, nastur-
tiums and pansies are specially desir-
able this time OF the year. The color
is also worth consideration and should
be varied according to the season. In
spring the flowers ought to be bright,
in summer they should have all the
suggestion Of GOODNESS; in autumn all
the glory of the floral color. and In
winter as many bright blossoms OF de-
cided colors as can be secured may
be used.
In selecting the flowers to be used
,n any room the general color scheme
must be noticed. If the room Is dec
grated In a dark tone or Is little
somber, white, red, and orange col
ored flowers are best to give note
of cheer. II the room is light and
CHEEKY the more subdued colors
should be chosen.
Simple flowers, such as lilies, pan.
sizes, violets. should be loosely ar
ranged in punches In fat vases. Hol-
lyhocks and peonies may be used
more sparingiy in tall vases.
The mistake of mixing different
kinds of flowers is nearly always fatal
to harmony. Each flower must be al
lowed its individuality in outline and
color. An exception may be made In
the case of field flowers that grow
together In masses, such as golden
rod. asters and daisies.
Flowers ought never to be crowded
into a vase; this spoils the charm Of
their color, shape of flower, stem and
leaves. One or two flowers are
enough for small vase and not more
than a dozen, loosely arranged, may
be placed in a large vase or bowl.
Long stemmed flowers are spoiled by
cutting them with short stems. This
is especially true of the iris. rose and
peony. The tall, graceful iris stands
proudly erect in the garden, sensitive
to every movement of the wind.
Therefore it should be placed in a
small, slender glass or brass vase
where every line OF its grace may be
seen and enjoyed. Tulips and daffo-
dis bend naturally, so pitcher and
jug of pottery or glass are specially
suitable for these. 1t is important
that the flower and receptacle har-
monize. The flowers must not over
power the vase nor the vase the flow

but where designed for centerpiece
a stand with a half dozen of these
small vases is used. A few flowers
are placed in each of these vases
Less expensive are the nickel holders
supporting a half dozen glass vases.
Asparagus ferns and grasses are
also valued to decorate summer
homes. These greens can either be
placed in wall brackets made of pot
terry fashioned to resemble baskets or
In glass vases and bowls covered with
raffia and lung with handles made Of
this material.
