Take the newest pin used for Sc
curing the lingerie hat. with head of
Irish croset. A pair bought in the
stores will certainly cost at least
dollar. while all that Is necessary 10
produce similar effects are q couple
of ordinary white glass headed pins,
two large wooden button molds and
the same number OF white crochet
medallions in round shape. The
last named cost probably not more
than ten cents each. while If one has
n knowledge of simple crocheting they
may be fashioned at home. The pins
are thrust through the molds which
should be covered with "a padding of
white cotton round NJ fine white

large size should be avoided, be-
cause the fulness viii become too
bulky around the pin when gathered
there. II is -hetter to use a larger
outer covering as the lace motif for
securing the head firmly to the pin
than TO cut the lawn too large.

When ii comes to describing the
hatpins used for securing dress hats
the task seems to be almost impossi-
bic. SO great is the variety. Certain
styles are newer than others while

The same may be said of the ar
