AFTERNOON WRAPS OF LACE
Black Spanish Fabric from Which
Some Beautiful Designs Have
Been Made.

Often we hear the older woman ask:
What shall get for an afternoon wrap?
Pongee is not dignified. l cannot
wear the masculine ulster, nor are
the chiffon things becoming. What
shall | do?"
To this question one would first
answer: Lace" but to the next ques-
ton renaissance" would be very in
adequate. What kind of lace is dig
nified, handsome, yet not reminiscent
of parlor curtains?
Black Spanish lace, of course. Won
derful wraps are made of this beauti-
full fabric. Sometimes 1t is woven into
the proper shape for a three-quarter
coat and again it is a scarf arranged
upon a foundation.
One of the loveliest wraps of the
kind was a black crepe de chine, col
larless and straight of line. A Span
ish lace scarf was taken in at the
back. so that 1t fell straight over the
shoulders and was tied in knot on
either side of the front, just below
the line of the bust. The ends were
spread and tackled, and the lace was
also tackled to foundation at the
back, on the shoulders and around the
neck, but not too stif1y. Could q
prettier coat be desired?

KING OF THE AIR.

Washington, D. C.-Orville Wright
attained the zenith of hard earned
success. In the ten mile cross coun-
try flight in the famous areroplane
built by himself and his elder brother,
Wilbur, and accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Benjamin D. Foulois of the army
signal corps, he not only surpassed
the speed requirements of his contract
with the government, but accomplish
ed the most difficult and daring
flight ever planned for heavier than
air flying machine. Incidentally he
broke all speed records over a meas
ured course and established beyond
dispute the practicability of the ero-
plane in time of peace or war.
Wright's speed was more than AZ
miles an hour. He made the ten mile
flight in IA minutes and AZ seconds,
including the more than 20 seconds re.
quired for the turn beyond the line at
Sputer Hill, the southern end of the
course. He attained height in cross
ing the valley of Four. Mile run Of
nearly 500 feet, and the average alti-
tude of his practically level course
was about 200 feet.

LINE EYELETS WITH COTTON
Decret of Smooth Openings for Open
Borders So Popular in Ma
deira Embroidery.

Few women can work smoothly the
open eyelet borders so much seen In
Madeira embroidery. There is sure
to be roughness and unevenness
where one eyelet joins another, and
the general effect is spoiled.
The reason of this is that the work
Is not properly done. An instructor
who had a number of natives from
the Island of Madeira exhibiting their
work in this country disclosed the Sc
cret of the smooth openings.
Each eyelet is outlined with cotton
In the usual way; is then slit, if the
shape be oval, and pierced If round,
and the edges turned back with a
needle. This is as any one would do,
but in the working of the overland
over stitch lies the difference.
Instead of finishing each eyelet at
time, as most of us would do, 1t is
worked halfway round on each side,
to where one opening joins the next
one. Then that eyelet is done in the
same way, and so on around the en-
tire outer line of the border. The work
is then reversed and the upper half
of the eyelets embroidered in the
same way.
With this treatment there is no I'M
evenness, pulling or ugly ridges
where the stitches meet, so hard to
avoid by ordinary method of working.

Lonq Gloves Out of Fashion.

Glove lore reads in about the same
words from year to year, for the same
materials are used and the same col
rs. But this year the woman with
he slim purse may rejoice, for the
long glove of great price which every
one was bound to wear last year, has
diminished, and the length of sleeve
has grown so that now one may pur-
chase for a dollar a pair of gloves to
be worn on any occasion.
The chamois glove, which sprang
into unusual use last summer, has lost
none of it's popularity, but it now re-
appears in a far more satisfactory
form with one button. 1t is easy to
wash, quickly dried and comfortable
to wear, and even men are beginning
70 realize this, for they frequently are
seen on masculine hands and in the
business district Chamois is only
an ''undress" glove material, like woven
silk and cotton, although it is one step
above these. One may wear chamois
gloves for shopping or for morning
visits. even If the gown be of foulard.
Silk and cotton gloves are only prop
erly worn on shopping tours if the
frock be of plainest Bingham.

Double un in Hosiery.

What next? Now the modish WON
an has taken to wearing one pair of
stockings over another to produce the
very fashionable changing effect. OF
course both stockings are of the very
sheerest and cobwebby sort of thread
silk, and the under pair is usually of
brighter color than the stockings
worn outside. Bronze over yellow is
favorite combination; green over
blue gives a peacock effect; black
over green is very smart with a green
parasol and black frock showing
green touches. 1t makes one think
Of the ingenious young man who had
no wife to darn his stockings, but
always wore two pairs so that "the
Ioles would not come under each
lther."
