things an omelet was served. 1t con-

Der of the club, jealous of its reputa-
ton, I naturally found this very I'm
barrassing as, In order to make an
equitable division of the omelet, 1t was
necessary either to divide a hy-a nice

A NEW EMBROIDERY.

Embroidery in relief il now interest
ing a large number of girls who are
fond Of fine needlework. The work is
called -petaiine, because the petals
stand U from the body Of the work.
This high relief effect Is obtained by
the use Of wire around the edge OF the
petal and by having these petals cut
from separate pieces of material. The
use of the wire is q Japanese idea and
although relief may be done without 1t.
it adds much to the character Of the
work.
The main part Of the design is
worked in the ordinary fashion. Vines,
leaves, etc., are usually worked flat,
although padding is sometimes used
under the leaves. The flower, if 1t be
double. has the outer leaves worked
flat and only the inner leaves worked
In relief.
The petals which are to be SO worked
are stamped upon a separate piece of
material and the wire is buttonholed
down to the outer rim OF the petal.
Then the petal Is filled In in the usual
fashion. 1t Is then sewed down to it's
place on the flower by means of the
flower centers.

Many pleasure sleighs belonging In the

be seen daily on the streets. while a

Charming FASHIONS for wee FoIlks.

There is something irresistible these
days about New York's little aristo-
crats-the wee girls and small boys
as you see them out for an airing in
the parks and on the avenue.
O. course they are dressed simply,
for that is the fashion. but their tiny
coats and dear little bonnets are abso-
lutely fetching. Generally speaking,
the little tots who have fashionable
mothers are wearing white coats And
those most in favod are made of white
bearskin. With these coats are worn
little hood-shaped bonnets of the
same soft white fur or silky white
beaver with rosettes at each ear made
of some pretty shade of satin ribbon.
Under the rosettes ribbons are fasten-
ed. tying under the chin. Sonietim es,'
in place of the satin rosette. little
cluster of velvet-petaled rosebuds
White corduroy coats are also in vogue
and are worn with hoods or CAPS and
leggins to match. The majority of
these corduroy coats are made severely
plain and fasten down the front with
pearl buttons. Some are in Russian
effect with white silk frogs as the
trimming. = Women's Home Com
