To match the embroidered curtains
there is the bedspread made of the same
delicate material and finished with a
border of vines and flowers, all in white.
OF course, there must be a number of bed
spreads provided, and it is sometimes pre-
ferred to have them all entirely white and
decorated as described. Most girls how
ever, content themselves with one white
spread to match the curtains and vary this
with white spreads of a different order or
with those on which there is an applique in
colored flowers or figures These bits of
color are selected to match some of the
furnishings of the room, and so the bed
spread is always in harmony with the
rest of the room while 1t is not always
on the same style.
If room is furnished in chintz, for in
stance, with embroidered muslin curtains,
there may be one bedspread to match the
chintz and another to match the curtains
and still others which are all white and
decorated in various styles.
Bedspreads for young girls rooms are
also made of linen and embroidered in the
centre around the monogram. The spread

TO the utmost. 1t may not be the
fashion nowadays to Introduce each guest
but certainly the theory that all who
meet at the house of a mutual friend must
necessarily be in the same set and know
each other well cannot be offered
for young people who have not yet
been about long enough to have very
wide list of acquaintances. 4 girl should
naturally see to it, therefore, that her
guests shall know each other before they
sit down to the luncheon or dinner table
The success of luncheon or dinner. or,
in fact, of any entertainment, large or
small, depends three-quarters upon the
faculty of the hostess. She must never, for
example, allow herself an intimate con-
versation with her left hand neighbor II
in so doing the guest sitting at her right
hand is not also engaged in conversation.
She can seldom talk with both neiah'
bors. since in so doing il will leave one
girl without a partner. Especially when
there are both girls and boys present the
hostess must glance continually about the
table and see to it that every couple is
getting on happily.
Should by any chance three persons be
talking together. thus leaving one alone,
the hostess can geherilly rlsht gils

side and thus shifting partners around
the entire board The hostess, too, should
change her partner once or twice during
the meal so that all may have an oppor-
tunity during the evening to converse with
their neighbor at each side.
Should by any chance a girl not be
introduced TO her neighbor at n dinner
she is at liberty to talk to him then, but
not afterward until he is formally pre-
sented to her.

HATPIN CASE.

T HERE is, perhaps, nothing so diff
cult to pack as a hatpih, and espe-
cially the hatpins of present dimen-
sions, with their large ornament heads
and long, murderous prongs. Many of
the more costly hatpin heads can be un-
screwed from the prong, which, of course,
simplifies the matter in packing, but 1t
is always wise after fastening the top on
again to further secure it with some seal
ing wax or glue, as it will be likely other
wise to become loosened and fall off.
Among the novelties of the moment are
to be seen hatpin cases of leather, de-
signed especially for the traveller, with
little racks to keep eacn pin in place and
from rubbing against the others. With a
comparatively small cardboard soap box or
q box the size always used in delivering
hatpins from the shops can be made an
extremely useful case almost, if not quite,
as good as the more costly articles in pig
skin or morocco. The box is simply COW
cred with cretonne or silk, or even a pretty
wall paper, while inside are placed at each
end a cardboard rack cut in suitable size
and shape to just fit between the sides of
the box and hold firmly as many pins as
the width of the box and the size of the
tops of the pins themselves will permit.
These racks are, of course, covered like
the outside of the box or finished as the
inside with chamois.
If a wooden box of right dimepsions
can be procured this is even better than
the cardboard, for it can be stuffed into
any odd corner without danger of being
crushed.

,'oh ~~ochct lace is rsed for the heavier
materials as we'll as for the light weight
ones. On some Of the daintiest Of these
spreads narrow Valercennes is used.
White crocheted bedspreads are very at
tractive and are very popular just now.
They are not so fine nor so expensive as
those of linen, and they take a long time to
do, but they wear very well and laundeI
beautifully.
The bedspreads of fine white materials
trimmed with white soutache are also most
attractive They have the advantage Of
not taking so long to do as the embroid-
cred ones, while they do not lose their
effectiveness in the laundering. Thin
white curtains are made and trimmed in
the same fashion. As in the embroid-
cred spreads and curtains, there may be or
may not be ruffles in addition to the trim
ming of soutache. Even more than IN
the embroidered decorations it is neces-
sary with those of soutache to avoid all
suggestion of heavines5 or elaboration.
For the dressing table there are end
less fittings of fine white materials
trimmed with lace and embroidery. The
cover itself matches the bedspread and
curtains and is made of thin white ma
terial of the finest quality. preferably
linen, batste or muslin, although net is
also used. Pale shades of color are some-
times used underneath, especially when
the outer cover is of net The thin white
covers are embroidered or trimmed with
soutache or with narrow insertions of
lace, and the net covers are sometimes
trimmed with dainty application of
ribbon.
Cases, boxes and cushions which oc-

all made of white materials, embroidered

SOCIAL
THE

n L is of course a great deal easier to- go
to a party than to give one--to be en-
tertained than to entertain, but the
girl who for some reason cannot invite
her friends frequently to her own
home loses a great deal. In the first
place practice is an important factor in
the making of a perfect hostess, for
where the head of the house displays the
slightest nervousness her guests too, are
inevitably i'll at ease. The courtesy of an
Invitation also should be returned if pos
sible.
Among the young people of the present
generation, however, there is very false
idea of hospitality; unless they can pay
back in just the same manner in which
they happen to have been entertained
there is a feeling that it is better not to
attempt to return the kindness of an in
vitation at all. This attitude is sadly
wrong, of course, but it seems hard for
many to realize that to-day, when all en-
tertaining, even that INDUCED by school
children, is on more or less elaborate
basis, the informal party will be all
the more enjoyed by very contrast.
There is practically no entertainment so
formal that it cannot be returned by an
invitation to simple luncheon or dinner
party or dance such as a girl could give
III her own home.
The first duty of hostess is, of course,
to see to it that in so far as she has the
power her guests shall enjoy themselves

Bordered papers, white, showing a mar
row edge of a favorite shade, are also ex-
tremely pretty, while for general CORE
spondence the writing pads which, folded
up and glued at all sides, form the en-

For the girl whose handwriting is none
too good and whose greatest difficulty is
in keeping the lines even there are many
thin lined papers. showing a plaid or
regular stripe in the finish, which can be
used as mask to keep each word
straight and where it should be. A rough
finished paper should never be bought,
no matter how good the quality, sfor it is
practically impossible to write well on
any thing but a smooth surface.
The French and Italian thin tissued
lined note papers are the smartest for
general use at present. The favorite
shades of marking are silver, pale gray
and dark blue. according to the color on
which the stamp is placed. AS in the
handwriting, the note paper should show
no eXaggeration. II should be inconspicu-
Gus in its good taste and show nothing
strikingly out of the ordinary, either in
color, shape, size or scent.

THE YOKE AND COLLAR.

" y excellent means of keeping a white
~ collar from becoming soiled by the
'fur neckpiece is to tie on a piece of
white or black tulle under the coat. With
a transparent collar of net, chiffon or lace
the piece of maline will be much prettier
than any heavier silk or knotted scarf and
VIII answer the purpose quite as WELL A
single width of maline, or even half a
width, is sufficient if placed twice about
the collar, crossed at back, with the two
ends slipped inside the revers in front.
This net will be practically invisible if
put ON neatly, and can be quickly and
easily slipped off before the jacket is re-
moved. IL black fur piece is worn, black
maline is just as good to use as white, as
it is one of the few black fabrics from
which the dye does not rub off unless it
becomes wet. Waterproof tulle is a bet
ter purchase than the ordinary maline.
1t is a little more expensive, but is far
more durable.
When time comes to lay the furs aside
for another winter then a narrow band of
duck or pique should be basted or but
toned inside every coat collar TO keep the
white neck band clean and neat. If this
is done the silk revers will be found not
to cut through nearly ms soon as when the
coat collar rubs directly against the collar
of the waist.

7v Rove all things a girl should have
II pretty note paper. She should take
as great pride in each letter which
she sends to the post as she does in her
own personal appearance, for is not
neatly or untidily addressed envelope
every bit as characteristic of personality
as untidiness in any detail of the dress
Not every one can boast a well formed,
attractive handwriting, but every girl can,
with care, make her penmanship even and
legible, and the note paper she uses can
always be good of its kind, even if she
cannot afford costly monograms and every
latest fad in shape and color of the paper.
The note paper used just now is all ex-
ceptionally pretty, while there is an in
finite variety of styles from which to Sc
lect. Very thin paper, white or palest
gray or cream color, the envelope lined
with IA pretty, delicate shade of blue,
pink, green or yellow, is the fashionable
writing paper of the moment. 1t is the
fad nowadays for every one to adopt a
definite color and to keep to the shade in
practically every line, even going so far
as to dress entirely in two or three
tones. The bedroom and boudoir, of
course, carry out this color scheme, which
is, after all, but the favorite color of the
owner, and when all the appurtenances of
the room show a certain color the writing
paper must be no exception. The lined
papers are particularly good, therefore, to
help complete the color scheme, as the
lining shows through the outer paper just
enough to be discernible and not give the
idea of a regularly colored note paper,
which is at present out of vogue. The
marking on the letter sheet corresponds
in color to the shade used in the lining of
the envelope.
All letter paper should have the
stamped address, it being the fashion
nowadays to place this address at the
upper left hand corner of the page, while
the monogram, when used, is placed OPP
posite on the right hand side. A crest IS
only rightly used by a married woman.
Correspondence cards marked in the
same way as the note paper are correct
for both writing and answering all invi-
tations, formal or otherwise. These
cards and envelopes may be square or
oblong as preferred. and are used in

SiZken Cases for a TrOusseau.

Instead of making tha one piece act as
a case by doubling it over in the centre,
two separate covers are often preferred,
one placed beneath the other on top of
the garments. These covers must, of
course, be first fitted to the drawer in
which they are to be used. Again, in
place of one large case or two covers
four or five smaller square pieces may be
made, or some oblong ones, say three
quarters to one and a half yards, to fold
over and contain each its separate pile of
pretty nightdresses, corset waists, che
misses, &c.
One, two, three or four such covers for
blue, mauve and pale green or golden
yellow make an artistic combination, but
the colors must be carefully selected,
that each may tone in well with the
others

n NE of the most ambitious tasks which
young needlewoman can set herself
is the embroidering of a pair of thin
white curtains The material selected
may be batiste, very fine linen or diapha-
nous muslin. The sheerness and fine quail
lity of the material has so much to do with
the beauty of the completed product that
lit Is hardly worth while to undertake so
considerable piece of work unless the
materials are fine and sheer and at the
same time, possessed of good wearing quail
tiles. Many materials, while appearing to
be delicate and fine enough for the purpose,
will, after washing, grow much thicker, so
that the embroidered design will not stand
out so well. The advice of some one who
is an expert judge Of this sort of material
should, therefore, be taken when making
the selection and economy must not figure
too prominently in the purchase if the best
results are to be obtained.
These curtains are made both with and
without ruffies, but the rutfied ones seem
most attractive for the rooms of young
girls. The embroidery is what is known
as solid embroidery, which does not
mean that it is heavy; it usually consists
of a slender vine border, which is set
little back from the edge of the curtain
Here and there are scattered flowers,
daisies and wild roses being favorites, or
the vine itself may be one which bears
flowers Many girls have favorite
flower or some particular motif, which is
used otherwise in their rooms, and when
this is so they prefer to have their own
peculiar design worked out rather than
to have one of the more conventional
patterns.
Embroidering n set of curtains in this
manner is not the affair of moment,
but when it is completed the possession
is one of real beauty and value and one
which with proper care in the laundering
will last sufficiently long to repay the
trouble of making.

tive in blue and white. Cross stitch does
not take anything like as long to accom-
plish rs other sorts of stitching, and so
many girls enjoy the work, in which they
can make such good progress. These
covers launder very well, and they are most
useful for rooms with which they har-
monize. They are not so daintily attrac-
tive as the thin muslin spreads, which are
all in white, but where they happen to fit

URlNG Lent there Is usually
more time than at any other sea-
son to accomplish large amount
Of needlework, and this year a
great many young girls are selz-
ing upon this opportunity to pro-
vide themselves with fresh, springlike Mt
tings for their own rooms or to make
similar attractive furnishings for gifts TO
their girl friends. Working on fine linen
or batiste seems somehow particularly ap-
propriate for a Lenten occupation, ana as
every one likes to have quantity OF these
delicate linen furnishings for bedroom ana
dressing room, the result Of these laDors
is always most useful.
Although there has recently appeared so
much rather elaborate French trimming in
gold. &c, on the fittings of the dressing
table, the small pillows which are used for
couches and many of the other furnishings
of the toudoir, there seems to be nothing
in quite such good taste for the room OF a
young girl as the fittings of fine white ma
terials, embroidered in white. Especially
is this true of the furnishings of room
which is to be used in the summer, when
the impression of exquisite freshness, SO
clearly conveyed by these dainty, all white
fittings, is, of all effects, the most pleasing
Now is the time to make ready the furnish
ings which, are to be used in the country
or suburban house during the summer ana
so this sort of sewing is just now particu-
larly popular.
The principal points of excellence
which are now considered in this sort oil
work are the fineness of the materials
and the perfection of the workmanship
Simple and delicate designs are greatly
preferred to heavy or elaborate ones
The smallest bit of embroidery very
well done is greatly preferred to large
quantity on which less care has been
expended. Many girls who wish to pro-
vide themselves with entirely new FUR
nishings and feel that the time to make
them is all too short omit the embrold-
cry altogether and content themselves
with hemstitching and fine ruffling. Ii

is sometimes edged with scallops finished
in embroidery, or the edge is straight and
finished with border of lace. The mono
gram must always be a part of the decora-
ton of the bedspread and sometimes it is
the principal decoration of the centre, the
only other decoration being a hemstitched
edge or one of drawn work. When the
spread is trimmed with lace the monogram
is framed in lace and this is supplemented
with embroidery.

york and shaped so that they will stand

are both very heavy this 10 possible with
out the use of any sort of support for the
sides of the basket or tray, but the more
usual Olan is to use pieces of cardboard
between the outer and inner covering of
the basket. Veil cases, glove boxes,
handkerchief cases, pincushions, hatpin
holders and the numerous other trites
which are necessities of we'll equipped
dressing tables OK their drawers, are all
made of these thin white materials, with
trimmings of guipure, Cluny or en-
brodery. Heavy linen, while much en-
ployed for these purposes and trimmed
with most elaborate handwork, is not so
suitable for the school girls boudoir as
for that of her older sister.
LMBROIDERING towels for their
rooms is another fashion of the hour
especially popular with young girls.
While it hasn't supplanted the craze for
embroidering lingerie pillows, it may at
least be said to rival that industry in their
affections. Sometimes design is embroid-
cred on the towels, but usually the design
is confined to monogram of an elaborate
order or otherwise. When a flower is used
it is usually when a girl has selected some
flower for her particular emblem, in which
case she will sometimes use it on her pos
sessions, instead of a monogram, as one
might coat of arms.
