Brocade Covered Jardinieres.

n NE of the new things which girls
are making of old bits of brocade
and gold lace are small jardinieres
in which pOtted plants can be placed. As
every one knows who has ever sought
for jardinieres in the shops, nothing is
more difficult than to find Il jardiniere
which is suitable for a very daintily fur
lnished apartment unless one is prepared
to go to the expense of old silver bowls,
carved crystal and similarly very hand
some pieces. The jardinieres covered
with brocades are perfectly suitable sub
stitute for these and at the same time
afford an opportunity for using small
pieces of beautiful fabrics to great ad-
vantage.
The plant is, of course, kept in its
original pot; the jardiniere is merely an
outer covering. 1t is made of thin card
board curved in the shape of flower pot
and with the bottom piece stitched fast to
the circular sides with strong thread.
1t is not necessary to have one piece of
brocade large enough to cover the entire
sides. Usually several strips are used,
the seams being covered with gold lace
or braid. The strips reach from the top
to the bottom of the jar and should be
of equal width. The lining is of dull col
ored silk, matching one of the shades in
the brocade, or OF linen. The bottom of
the jardiniere is covered with this ma
terial also. If there is not enough of the
strips of brocade to cover the jar, pieces
of plain satin or velvet may alternate
with the brocade. The figured material
is used around the top of the jardiniere
also, and the plain satin or velvet around
the bottom.
The gold braid or lace which is used
should not be new and bright looking, but
should be the charming old gold which
blends so nicely with all sorts of decora-
ton. The brocade used should be beaut'-
full and even rare, as it is not worth while
to go to the trouble of making this sort
of thing of commonplace materials.

HOW TO TRIM THE NEWEST SHOE TREES

HAT every detail of the closet may
be attractive to look upon and the
shoe rack or shelves be just as con-
spicuously pretty as the hanging bars,
with their bright colored ribbon hangers,
the shoe trees must also be adorned and
beautified. An old fashioned slipper or
boot tree, with its extension bar in the
the newest tree, consisting of a plain
wooden toe and heel piece, connected by a
flexible steel bar, really needs to have
that unprepossessing band of steel dis
guised by dainty cover of bright colored
ribbon or silk.
These trees are extremely easy to cover
and call for no more material than a
yard and half of ribbon an inch and a
half or less in width, according to the size
of the steel band. Satin and lowered taft
feta ribbons are equally pretty, but good
quality is necessary that will not cut
through soon. The cover is formed by
running together two pieces of the ribbon
over the band, leaving narrow edge at
Ne-NA oANS ~ AOAih a hhiShg thCh laSlCh the
ribbon firmly at each end by mailing with
tiny gilt head tacks to the wooden toe and
heel. The ribbon must be gathered in
comparatively full, so as to allow the
steel to bend in being put in and out of
the slipper.
If all the shoe trees are equal size then
all may be trimmed alike with the one
shade of ribbon, but it, as is more gener-
ally the case, different size and shape of
tree is required for each different pair of
boots and slippers, then it would be bet
ter for each pair to have its own shade
perhaps pink for slippers, blue for walk
ing boots, fowered ribbon for the low
ties, and in this way the trees will never
become mixed and considerable time
wasted in frequent sorting out will be
saved.
Linen and canton flannel bags for boots
lor patent leather slippers are now covered
with bright silk or satin. Satin and pat
ent leather slippers should always have
their individual bags, but If not kept in a
bag patent leather then should Away be
wrapped in either cotton or flannel when
not being worn. Before putting on a pat
ent leather slipper or shoe in frosty
weather it should be rubbed gently with

Ornamenting Silk Stockings.

4 iris who are clever at embroidering
lean make most beautiful birthday
gifts for their friends by ornament
ing plain silk stockings. Every girl likes
to have pretty silk stockings for dancing
and other parties, and the fashion this
winter is to have them gayly bedecked
with flowers. Fascinating vines trail
from the toe up over the arch of the foot
or little clusters of tiny flowers are dotted
on here and there. They are gay in color,
for the flowers are worked in bright
shades, while leaves done in vivid green's
always accompany them. The trailing
arbutus makes a lovely decoration on
white silk stockings intended to wear with
a pink frock, and nothing could be pref
tier than clusters of forget-me-nots on
pale blue or white stockings to be worn
with blue gown A great deal of imas-
ination and taste can be brought into
play in designing the embroidery for
stockings, which may be elaborate or sim
pie, according TO the skill of the girl in
tending to work them.

DECORATING WOOD WITH METAL APPLIQUE

Picture frames, wooden bowls and boxes
of all sorts, ewers and jugs, jardinieres,
&c. are among the articles made in this
fashion. Copper, brass and pewter are
all used in this fashion. The metals are
selected to harmonic with the wood used.
Both stained and painted woods are used.
and the combinations of color with the
different metals are endless and charm
ing.
As vet the art is new one and it is
somewhat difficult to get the neces-
airy materials, if one insists on hav-
ing everything ready to ones hand; but
the tools used for the hammered brass
are all that is necessary-some thin
metal foil on which design is stamped,
some tiny tacks and the necessary wooden
articles.
All these pieces of wood for frames,
boxes, trays, &C., can be found in the art
department of most shops. They are
usually used for burnt wood work. The
designs may be found in paper patterns,
which may be pasted on the back of the
metal and then cut with sharp scissors.
The finishing of the design is done with
the small hammer, although it is not
necessary always to hammer it; some
times it is just put on plain.

Convenient Muff Hangers.

M UFF hangers are an absolute neces-
sity, unless one is prepared to keep
ones muff box always at hand,
which, in many instances, is rather nui-
sance. The hangers which are now being
used are most convenient and can 0e
more easily disposed of, if room for ones
clothes is limited, than the ordinary muff
box.
The hangers somewhat resemble coat
hangers, but there are two bars instead of
one and the lower bar is movable, so that
the muff may be slipped on it. The bar
is thentput back into place and the hanger
may thus be hung ON any closet hook.
These hangers are covered with shirred
ribbon, much as are the coat hangers.
They have tiny saehets, generally two or
three of them tied to the top bar by mar
row ribbon. The favorite style of ribbon
for use as a covering for the hangers
is at present fowered satin or silk, and
the color selected is. of course, in accord
with the taste of the person for whom
it is intended.

G O fascinating are the manual arts
other than needlework which may be
pursued by the amateur that efforts
are being continually made to find some
new field in which girls and women can
move and as a result turn out attractive
articles for use in the house or personality
Among the latest innovations OF this sort
Is the new way of using metal on wood.
Hammered brass has been popular long
time as handcraft for women, but this
new idea uses the metal to decorate ar
ticles of wood instead of having the
articles entirely made of metal.
1t is necessary to have the metal in
sheets thin enough TO cut out rather easily
with ordinary scissors. The designs are
hammered and made with piercing holes.
To this is added the use of small tacks
supplementing the decoration.
The design is made in the same fash
ion as the hammered brass work which
has been fashionable for so long, or it may
be made more simply merely by hammer
ing with one small hammer instead of
with a variety of tools used in the ham
mered brass. After the design has been
made it is cut out with scissors and then
tackled to the wooden article.

~ NE of the industries which finds
favor with girls at the moment is
the decoration of mirrors of all
shapes and -izes and in all sorts of charm
Ing ways Nothing is more attractive in
the boudoir than a number of these
charming mirrors. Oval. round, square
and rectangular mirrors are all decorated
most attractively by the use of brocade
s and satin lingerie, chintz, velvet gold ap-
plique and ribbon flowers.
A very charming mirror decorated with
ribbon flowers was about seven inches
wide and twenty seven inches from top
TO bottom. The frame was very narrow,
not more than half an inch. wide, and
was covered with green brocade. But
covering this entirely was garland OF
pink. white and yellow silk roses con-
nected by green satin stems The erect
was dainty and charming in the extreme.
More elaborate was an oval mirror, the
width of which was perhaps twelve and
height eighteen inches. The frame Of
this mirror was covered with gold galloon
and this was covered wreath OF
roses made of gold ribbon, leaves, stems,
&C., being made of the same. These
vines and flowers stand out from the
frame in bold relief, being attached only
by the vince tackled here and there at
different points.
Gold and silver leaves and vines are
also used with the little silk roses and
lilies to decorate these frames. Not only
are the gold and silver ribbons employed,
but also cloth &C gold is used to make the
roses or leaves.
The r'bbon work, done directly upon
the silk or brocade, is also used for mir
ror frames. White moire is the favorite
material for background, and on this is
embroidered the design, usually in the
light Pompadour shades and made up of
garands, baskets OF bouquets. Spangles,
sequins and gold thread are used to help
out the design.
Very charming, also, are the mirrors
framed in brocade. Handsome brocade,
frequently antique pieces of value, is
used for this purpose. If the design of
the brocade is unusually rich. and espe-
cially if there is gold in it, it is used
without other trimming, but if the design
or coloring is cold or ineffective it is ac-
centuated by gold embroidery or by the
use of gold galloon crushed in diamonds
over the frame. Frames are also made
of velvet, moire and satin and trimmed
in this fashion with the gold galloon.
Larger mirrors have frames of lingerie

ened to the front of ring that will fl
on the head. The ring may be a wooden
embroidery ring or made of twisted
heavy wire. In either case it is wound
around with strips of paper like the but
terfy. The butterflies for men are fast
ened to the end of stick, which is also
wound with the paper.
L or use in the same way as these
is flower wreath and a star wand The
wreath can be made either of artificial
flowers or of paper flowers. A girl who
knows how TO make paper flowers can
use them, but it will take a good dea
of time to make enough of these, and one
favors, but giving quite a different effect
can buy very pretty muslin flowers al
the millinery bargain tables in the shops
The wreath is started with ring that
will fit the head, and this is covered witt
ribbon or strips of coored muslin tc
match the flowers. The flowers are sewed
to the muslin ON the outside close to-
gether, and in the back there is a bow
of ribbon with long ends. There may be
the greatest variety in the flowers used OF
one particular kind can be chosen and all
the wreaths be alike.

,eTHE only excuse for omitting the
daily plunge or sponge bath is a

SeTHE only excuse for omitting the
daily plunge or sponge bath is a
lack of sufficient water, and there
are few places in the civilized portions
Of the world where that fluid is not as
free as salvation" said the April Grand
mother when her youngest granddaughter
confessed that drowsiness or oversleeping
occasionally caused her to forego her tub.
Some people habitually battle the first
thing in the morning, but this course is
not recommended TO an active young girl
who usually goes for a walk or a ride
soon after breakfast, for exposure to the
fresh air within an hour after bath not
infrequently induces a chill. And n cold
contracted in the autumn or early winter
is not readily cured.
Just before going to bed is the safest
time to take the daily bath, which should
be OF hot or tepid nature, according to
the individuals state of health. To GER
tain constitutions n very hot bath is de-
bilitating, while to others it is exceed
ingly soothing to the nerves and conduces
to sound slumber. Inert girls who realize
that they are taking on too much flesh
may safely employ the nightly hot bath
as a detail of the reducing process. but
they should be careful to mix with the
water some astringent to tighten the
cuticle, as one wrinkle adds more years
to the apparent age than do two pounds of
flesh.
"Girls of rather delicate physique may
safely take tepid baths, but they should
not stay too long in the tub or allow the
water to get below its original temper
ature, as either course is liable to bring
on chill. Any bath is the better for the
addition of enough benzoin to give the
water a milky appearance, as it helps to

Make the brim of circle of cardboard,

of the crown, and the outer edge five

of the front and at the back. Where it
Is turned up at the left side fasten it with
a cockade consisting of rosette of buff
paper and little brush made by cutting
the paper in fine strips-with the crinkle,
not across it.
Another style of hats which gives quite
an amusing effect TO the dance is a sun
bonnet for the girls and a farmers hat
for men. The sunbonnet is made on much
the same principle as the Priscilla cap,
but is larger The half circle for the
crown is somewhat larger and gathered
a little more, and the strip for the front
of the bonnet is twenty inches long and
nine inches wide. and it is stiffened with
cardboard The crown does not come
quite to the bottom of this, and into the
extra space is fitted a little gathered
hounce that hangs down the back of the
neck. The sunbonnet can be made of
either lowered paper or lowered dimity
or checked gingham. As the farmers
hat to go with it must be a real straw
hat the cotton material is best. The
prettiest effect is obtained by making
them of dimity with many different
flowers. The only way to get the effect
of the farmers hat is to buy the cheap
broad straw hats that are used by farm
ers.

" VERY pretty design for one figure is
Aa butterfly used as a head ornament
for girls and, on the end of a wand,
for men. The butterfly is made by bend
ing wire into the right shape and covering
it with crepe paper. The ends of the
wings are then painted irregularly with
gold paint or black or some color that
contrasts with the paper used. A few
black dots are also great improvement.

paste the gathers together. Make seven
of these feathers and paste them in fan

stick
The stick is then covered with gilt
paper which comes up far enough to cover
the ends of the feathers The fan may
be made large or small by making the
feathers longer or shorter and it can be
used in different ways, according as the
leader of the cotillon designs the figure.

material used is very sheer linen, with

but will arouse circulation. Despite
everything that can be said in favor of
the cold bath, it is the warm one which
actually does the cleaning, but if the
system can stand the shock of an icy
dip, it is better to take it in the morning,
