Many Notes Of Many Things

| the yoke almost to the waist line. The
lower part C his garment is gathered
| into . of lace and insertion at tn,
/ knets, each being edged with a full
ruffle of linen and lace. This entire
| combination, is striped with insertion
and lace 1t is an attractive idea which
f, has been evolved from the silk bloom
/ ers of last season.
| The Latest Foundations.
| For sheath foundations of evening
| gowns the very newest idea is to us,
| brocades of gorgeous hue and design
| or heavy watered silks
The princess underdresses of these
supple silks can be fitted perfectly t.
the figure. and the lovely colors. with
their scrolls and flowers carried out in
glistening silver or gold, form artistic
backgrounds upon which chiffon, tulle
or crepe de chine can be draped
These exquisite sheaths are generally
made with narrow trains, square or
round. and the draperies are arranged
in mi-pannier fashion.
A Golden Feather.
Tt can be made of an old quill from
which the battered feathers have been
stripped.
Gold lace is sewn as a scant ruffle on
each side, the end being slightly point
ed
You have no idea how effective this
is on a fur turban. From this idea a
departure into the realms of silver,
bronze or jeweled lace can be made,
and at little cost. This quill with
band of braid or lace to match, will
furnish sufficient trimming for velvet
or fur toque.
The Rage for Beads.
As trimming on daytime dresses and
evening robes, beads are used with
great success Indeed, as they occur
in all colors, there is every reason to
suppose that their popularity will not
wane with the seasons.
When applied as a plaque ornament
they are worked out in Indian patterns
white, red and turquoise blue being
combined with dull tan.
Handsome clasps of colored beads
are used to hold the fulness of COR
sage, and draperies of skirts are secur-
ed under beaded ornaments
Bugle beads are extremely beautiful
and lend their straight lines for edg-
ing tunics,- sleeves and sashes These
are often embroidered in straight de-
signs on chiffon and tulle.
ChalIis Return.
Challis are back again in lovely de-
signs, which offer dainty colored re-
lief from the ever-present plain white
shirtWaist
Tiny rosebuds Of all colors on plain
grounds are now worn by children an6
groWnups, while black challis with
neat figures show that French Weav-
ers have not forgotten demands of old
err women.
Dotted and striped effects are espe-
cially adapted for tailored models Of
waists, and suggest many changes ir
the Workaday garb.
1t is with pleasure that we see the
return of these soft dainty material.
for our dresses or blouses.
Scarf and Muff.
a novel combination of scarf anC
muff is made of bands of chiffon, quill
ings of satin and strips of fur L
wraps the body in shawl fashion an(
just at the waist line the width i
gathered in under two long buckles.
From this point two long ends cal
almost to the hem of a skirt. Buckles
hold in the lower edges of each side
and heavy fringe hangs from these.
Thus far this is a beautiful shoulde,
scarf. But when the weather is colo
and the hands of the owner need the
comfortable warmth of a muff, it is
there for the hooking. The lower end
are doubled up and hoped under the
upper buckles. A fringed muff is the
result. The combination is clever anC
| pleasing.
MoIeskin Coat.
The quality of moleskin gives cling
ing lines to long coat, and the colo,
cannot be improved; its dull gray tones
| blend with every shade of costume.
| Moleskin is now combined in a man
ner that produces striped effect The
| bands of fur are placed with the map
running up on one stripe and down or
| the adjoining one. The light does the
| rest
| The return of moleskin to it's favor o.
| two years ago should be welcomed b,
women who recognize its soft, supple
| quality. And no one can resist the sill
very lights and shadows Of this mex
| pensive fur.
! To Clean Leather.
! Wash the leather with soap an(
water and then put on a coat of swee
oil. This should be allowed to DIR,
and then put on four coats of goot
shoe dressing, which can be applied
with a paint brush, each coat bein,
| dry before the other is applied. Thel
put on a thin coat of shellac. This i
an especially good way of cleaning ;
| soiled satchel. and the improvement
will be marked.
