Fads of Women

A gift that will be much appreciated by a
girl or woman who embroiders is an en-
broidered apron.
In shape 1t does not differ from the usual
sewing apron-a square piece OF lawn,
organdy or dimity turned up 20 form deep
pockets. The details however, are not the
same.
The turned up Flap lie divided into four
compartments, three OF which are intended
to hold the pieces OF embroidery. The
fourth compartment is divided in runners
into which the different skeins OF silk may
be slipped.
The hem Is faced inside with flannel and
serves as a needle book. Use cotton
flannel. as woollen flannel is apt to rust
the needles unless Il is washed first.
If woman owns a pretty floral scarf,
such as worn last summer. she can make
an attractive blouse on the peasant order.
Such blouse can be worn over a cream
or white net waist, or even over a pretty
lingerie blouse when a dressy effect is de-
sired.
Little curley bear cloth coats for infants
and small children in sizes up to G years
Of age cost only S in some shops.
These wraps are full box style, with turn
over collar and cuffs and have a white
| quilted lining. A bonnet TO match, lined
with white silk and trimmed with rosette
or ribbon and ribbon ties cost only 30
cents These are pretty lenough for any
baby, but IL woman wishes TO pay more q
coat Of snow drop bear cloth can be bought
for S. This design Is lined with a heavy
quilted lining and finished with turn over
collar and cuffs. II closes double breasted
with pearl buttons.
