bobbinet trimmed with renaissance as
low as $1.50 pair. But cluny lace
is newer than the renaissance. A
group of four different designs struck
me as being wonderfully good value
for the money. The first was of net
hemmed and edged with narrow
cluny lace and trimmed within the
hem with a broad band of cluny in
sertion. The second was of Irish
point adorned like the cuny design.

ly very artistic, displayed a lovely
pattern in applique.
The last was a renaissance lace cur

quality. A narrow lace edging on the
hem gave a very dainty finish All

Colored curtains such as the barred
madras will not be much used. This
fabric is always more in demand as
summer window drapery, and people
prefer buying it by the yard rather
than by the curtain.
But stencied effects are awfully

side and across the bottom was foot
band of inset fiIlet net, on which was
appliqued cutout design of pink
roses In cretonne. Joining the fillet
border to the curtain proper was an
old world looking cream colored
gimp, and outlining the entire cur
tain was an edging of the same pat |

The knack of Looking Neat.
"A woman can at least look neat
and tidy" This remark Is about as
easy to carry out Outlines as that Of
the charity visitor who insisted that |
her Stun tenants could at least use
plenty Of soap and water. How can
the poor creatures when perhaps there
is running water on only one floor of
a seven story fathouse and about a
hundred persons to draw from the
same supply? The model tenements?
Yes, dear. but l am not speaking about /
them. for they are in too great a mi
nority to serve as an example. Well,
to get back to neatness. how can the
average woman without maid or
hook worm of a husband or relative
make the back of her neck look tidy ri
In other words. how can she always
Oe sure that the stock Is making con.
nections?
Some women, however, have the
knack Of always looking tidy about
the neck. You have, Elsa, but l.
well, ! took few lessons from Doro-
thy recently and have been enlight-
ened that one of the most convenient
ways of managing the detachable col
lar of lace or muslin is to sew a but
ton at the back of the neckband which
matches the button that fastens the
collar and to make buttonholes at each
lower corner of the collar. The col
lar by this means is held firmly with
out pinning. There should be a stav
at the collar back and those supporters
that by tiny bent prongs are always
ready and require no sewing. The
prongs, being only the size of a fine
pin, do not tear the material, and the
collar irons much better If 1t has no
bone casing or a stitched in device.
In connection with neck fixings. here
is good idea for a stunning collar
and cuff set. They give the smart
touch to costume that well groom
eo woman always has. I've sketched
them for you, and they are of black
