LACE BAG LATEST NOVELTY
Great Saving of Time and Lace e.
fected by Country Woman's
System.

A morning visitor at country
house found her hostess busy with
mysterious little dimity bags, that
Here about ten inches square and fas
tened with a draw string. In answer
to her query she was told that these
were lace bags" and that samples
of the kind of laces they contained
would be sewed on the edges like tags
She was furthermore told that al
though the proceeding might seem
fussy, it was a great saving of time as
well as Of lace, for these fragile bits
of trimming get tangled and torn If
put in a box, even if folded at first.
After a few hunts for a particular
piece the loosened ends seem pos
sessed to knot together, and it re-
quires great patience to undo them
without tearing the edges. The SAM
pies show just what kinds of lace are
bundled and safely pinned at ends,
and just the one bag need be opened.
All the bags are put in a large box,
labeled lace" and this has a particu-
lar space in the sewing room closet.

Sturdy Americanlsm,

"It is disgusting" sighs the lawyer,
dropping his paper after reading the
account of murder trial in Paris.
Such theatric, artificial, sensational
appeals to sympathy have no place in
the practise of law"
Putting on his hat he hastens to
the courtroom where he is defending
man. Arriving, he glances about
and sees the wife, four children, two
sisters, three distant cousins and the
aged father of the defendant grouped
near the jury.
Where's your mother?" he whis-
pers to his client.

defendant. "She is so old we were
afraid the experience would be bad
for her"

through the covering of yelling, mar
quisette or chiffon. A summer foulard
in black and white-since these mate
rials wash like rags-would be inval-
liable, for this combination is stylish
under a yelling of any sort in any
color.
The yelled waists, especially if they
have three-quarter sleeves, are shown
principally for dressy uses, but the
style is too useful for the home dress
maker to ignore when making over
old textures, and if trimmings and
models are sufficiently simple, such
designs are suitable for the plainest
tailor gowns
The yelled bodice with lace under
part commonly begins with a COM
plete blouse made with a high stock
Of an all-over lace. A plain or pat
termed silk, or Persian gauze founda'
ton, which is very stylish, will stop
at the line where the jumper is to
cover it and be filed in there with a
stock in appropriate materials. The
jumper, which is of gauzy yelling in
the dress color is the easiest thing in
| the world to make The kimono model
is the favorite for this over-blouse,
| and is fitted with one or more Gibson
pleats at the shoulders, or else tucked
back and front, or across the shoul-
ders only. One strikingly effective
device with such waists is broad
band of some rich trimming going
around the foundation at the bust
point, and showing richly through the
thin outer material. Narrow velvet
ribbon, or plain satin bands, trims the
white stocks and undersleeves of
these bodices effectively. while the
blouse itself may have quite another
trimming.
Persian silk and Indian cottons in
blur of rich color shape the more
practical waists, those intended
strictly for the palmer tailor gowns;
but when these gaudy textures are
yelled with something else, they at
once become things for dressy use.
Our illustration displays a blouse of
a simple all-over lace in a rich cream,
covered with a kimono jumper Of
kings blue marquisette. A lace in
blue and black encircles the round
neck, with a stole drop at the front.
The same lace edges the sleeves of
the jumper and forms cuffs for the
gathered undersleeves.
This bodice, like all the others. is
adapted to simpler materials. If a
gray dress on hand must be fitted out
with a waist, use any colored silk
blue, old rose, violet, green or white
for the foundation. and then get a
yelling in the dress color for the top.
| Moire or silk in matching color
could be employed instead of the lace
here used. A well-made waist in this
style would be suited to handsome
tailor suit, and if liked the jumper
part alone might be employed as a
model for a collarless short-sleeved
house effect. In fact, there is no end
to the possibilities of this jumper, for
| it is adapted equally to plain and
dressy uses.

UNCLE CALHOUN SPOKE OUT
