MAKING SCARFS AT HOME
Some New and Very Attractive Ef.
fects Which May Be Easily
Obtained.

A black satin scarf of double width
satin and three yards long can be
lined with soft white satin and left
plain across the bottom or dashed fol-
a quarter OF "a yard in the middle OF
each end, and the half sections drawn
into points, each finished with a tas
sci.
In diaphanous scarfs those of black
lace and two colors of chiffon are di
viding favor. Beautiful Spanish lace
shawls in black and white are to be
found just now much reduced. One
to be made at home is of fine black
net the full width. This can be EN-.
broidered over the whole surface with
jet disks and spangles or the Jet car
be arranged as deep border across
each end and a narrow one along the
lengths.
The scarf of black and white fou.
lard, finished with white silk fringe OF
black tassel, is simple enough. 1.

can be turned back on the right side
to a depth of quarter of an inch and

The double-toned chiffon scarfs are
easily constructed. Choose contrast

and gray. pale violet and purple, two
tones of pink or blue. Basic the two
pieces carefully along the sides anG
ends. taking precautions that they are
even. and do not draw apart.

bon of soft satin, or sew the edges OF
chiffon together with blind stitches
and having made a two-inch hem o,

other, fagot it TO the main scarf.

Dress underskirts are of fine muslin
or bauste. Lace is more used ir
trimming than embroidery, all trim
mings being neat rather than elabo
rate. Allover embroidery. cambria
cluny, torchon and honiton edgings
and insertions are best.
Under wash dresses, colored lawn
chambray and batiste petticoats are
most popular. These are embroidered
in white, with white lace insertions ane
and colored ribbon headings.
Among novelties are white muslin
petticoats and a fiounce reaching to
the knees, embroidered In color and
finished with beading run with rib
bon of the same shade.

Pierp's Appetite

good trencherman in his youth and
he has as good an appetite today as
he ever had, not only for corned beef
and cabbage-his favorite dish-but
for other foods. If the Morgan, who
dazzled the Teutons with his mathe-

his Yankee corned beef and cabbage
it might have been frankfurters and
