ished with fringe made by fraying the
edges of the face and the back of the
pillow top.
Lingerie pillows are made of muslin
all over embroidery, of batiste banded
and friiled with embroidery and of dot
ted and sprayed swiss. Any of the
Powered lawns are pretty II finished
with wide ruffles. and so are the Scotch
ginghams striped in two tones of one
color. Some of them have a broken
tartan plaid border that makes an eff
fective ruffie. Scotch madras in two
tone or solid colors furnishes service
able and smart looking pillow top,
and there are most attractive plain
French linens in such shades as wis
taria, catawba, champagne. Van Dyke
brown and old rose.
Ecru scrim Is an excellent material
for a porch pillow cover, and is charm
ing when decorated with Dalmatian
embroidery in oriental color combina-
tions with embroidery silk. Cream col
ored scrim is used to carry the Brenta
embroidered, which Is done without n
pattern, as is also the German cross
stitch known as serial work.
For the Doeblinger work, done on col
ored monks cloth, the eight-fold Ger
mantown yarn is used to develop art
nouveau or oriental patterns.
Sachets play an important role in the
wardrobe of a refined girl, as the deli
cate perfume of the powders is all per-
vading yet evasive. Every drawer of
the dresser should have it's accurately
fitted pad of thin silk, dotted Swiss,
allover muslin embroidery or printed
cretonne covering two sheets of wool,
the lower sheet generously sprinkled
with sachet powder. After the pad
has been tackled in a few places to
prevent it from wrinkling it should he
finished with frill of matching ma
terial with muslin embroidery or VAL
enciennes lace edging or with a quilting
of ribbon matching the bows at each
corner.
Handkerchief sachets of linen, SOU
tache embroidered or of embroidered
muslin, oblong pieces. faced with thin
silk and interlined with scented bat
ting, are first doubled at the center
and then turned inward from each
end. thus forming deep pockets on the
inner side similar to those fitting over
"book" are bordered with a narrow
silk quilting or cable cording and tied
together with ribbon strings.
For lingerie frocks there should be
sheet sachets, scented with lavender.
which conveys the impression of coun-
try laundering and out-of-door dry
ing. Shirtwaist and blouse boxes
should be lined similarly to the party
frock wardrobes or provided with min
iature sheets, modelled after those used
for the box couch.
The same plan may be adopted for
the hat box, but an excellent method
of seeming headgear is to make a
good sized soft ball of silk covered
scented batting and place it in the
crown. This will not only perfume the
hat, but will help preserve its shape.
To shade the candles which decorate
as well as illumine the college girls
8 o'clock tea table there are charming
effects in paper. silk and glass. A
mosaic design is of paper notified in
yellow and green on white, barred
with a heavy leading in soft green.
White, yellow and pink in rose and
chrysanthemum effects developed in
paper are to be found in bell and
wreath shapes. They are adequately
lined with asbestos to prevent them
from catching fire.
Mission shades have oddly shaped
cardboard frames in weathered oak
tint, overlapping pale green, yellow
and old rose paper windows.
Green paper cardboard frames, with
panels filled to simulate stained glass
designs, are immensely attractive, but
scarcely more SO than are the silk
lined Japanese basket shapes and
those of silk in glass beaded effect.
