feet. They require natural grace of
movement and demand also a mincing
gait that the practical American wom-

We are good imitators, and the fact
should be remembered by US that good
taste considers the occasion as well as
the gown. It behooves us on this side Of
the water to be even more cautious.
Our less frivolous existence demands
even more Of the practical costumes and
fewer OF the elaborate. inconvenient sort.
Then, too. there is the modification,

most French difficulties.

Making and Embroidering

"HERE Is no reason why any wom-
an who is handy with her needle
should not own a number OF the

bags are easily embroidered, and even
the most difficult can be made up with

so that one hat may do the work and
I'LL the office Of many. For instance. a
hat Of fine straw covered with white or
black silk or chiffon on the brim may
have a scarf Of fringed silk lin the style
beloved by our grandmothers). 1t may
then be supplied with a taffeta bow
edged with straw in the same shade
as the hat itself: with raffia scarf, a
dashing adjunct TO the new hopsacking
costumes; with q suede or patent
leather scarf, purchasable at any de-
partment or leather goods store, for
morning and country wear: then chif-
fon scarf, hand-painted in flowers in
the new-old French style: and finally

A handbag with metal frame. again in

bag, which opens by a lengthwise slit
edged with embroidered lines.
Finally we have two workbags CT the
old-fashioned shape, a cardboard circle
at the bottom and the bag puffed out
from this and tied with a ribbon draw
string. The first of these is OF green
linen and has a vine pattern running
around the middle. This should be
worked in a lighter green outlined In
black. The strings should be OF green
inch-wide ribbon.
The second of these capacious bags IS
worked IN a large rose design which
takes up all the available space. This
is prettiest in natural-colOred linen, with
the roses in red and with red strings.
Or the roses and the ribbon may be OF
pink and the blossoms and green leaves
may be outlined in black or, as an un-
usual touch, in white.
Here are ideas for the making OF ten
OF these dainty bags, and a dozen more
have probably by this time suggested
themselves to the clever needlewoman.
There are bags for all occasions and all
costumes. and every enc of them can be
made from linen and embroidered by
even the amateur in fancy work.

n HANY of the new hats in the looser
M weaves of straw are being trimmed
AL very effectively in colored rama
and velvet flowers. the raffia being COW
cred with net of the same shade and
arranged like a scarf Raffia comes IN
nearly twenty-five shades, and where an
unusual color must be matched, the
white or natural colored can often be
dyed to the exact tint. One girl tried for
days to stain exactly rather bright
blue raff1a, and after failing with all
sorts of paints and dyes succeeded by
dipping the natural-colored grass INTO
ordinary washing blue.
With the help of raffia and net very
modish hats, indeed, can be trimmed en-
tirely at home. for even the velvet
flowers can be made with practice by
the amateur. Often the raffia and net
will match the straw of the hat, with
the flowers in another shade or In black
or white. The variations are endless.

For the Pocketless

T HE woman who 1aments the good
old days of the pocket. and feels
no JOY in the all-cOntaining hand
bag, will welcome a new wrinkle
from Paris. the home Of ingenuity.
This is the fat outside pocket sewed
on the front of the underskirt. 1t is
large and of the same material as the
petticoat. and it fastens securely by
means of glove-clasps. which may be
purchased at any gIovemaker's; or the
band with the clasps inserted is also
obtainable.
1t is remarkable how much-"from a
handkerchief to a pie"-can be put In
one OF these pockets without either
making an ugly bulge in the skirt or
causing the sensation of carrying a
football about with one. And certainly
they are not accessible to pickpockets!
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-26

And now the irregular circular spaces.
They are intended for the applique Of
Irish lace roses, or even crocheted medal
lions, which, when they are carefully
sewn on, are made transparent by cut
ting away from beneath them the linen
indicated by these marks. The narrow
edge left should be rolled-and carefully
at that.
Almost all art needlework shops keep
an assortment of these Irish lace roses
in various sizes, and. too, their manu-
facture may be readily learned by the
ordinary crocheter. Books with illustra-
tions and directions lead the amateur in
lace along the right direction.
1t is a fashion of the season to dye
the Irish lace rose to match a linen
frock. and 1t Is as good a style to work
embroidery such as this with colored
cotton to match the background linen.
Rose-pink linen. rose-colored floss and
the natural rose shade of stencil dye for
the Irish blossom should bring about
cheerful result.
