Into the decoration of many white
frocks there now enters some color
to carry further the bright note sup
piled by a corsage bouquet of satin
roses or a ribbon girdle with rosettes.
Upon the more or less solid solid
spaces of well-made cluny lace there
is embroidered a patch Of solid work,
which may take on square, a circu-
lar or a floral shape. according to the
space to be covered. The work is
done in soft-colored mercerized cot
ton, the quality of which varies in
coarseness with the lace.
In order to gain necessary firm
ness it will be we'll to haste the lace
or insertion upon white batiste or
even null, and to stick through this,
cutting away the remainder when the
color work is completed.
If the heaviest solid work be to
your liking, pad the space to be en-
broidered, upon the top of the lace.

LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquaries has
succeeded in securing the preservation of very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London, which has Just been laid bare, London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure, the external
wall of defense built about the city In the fourth
or fifth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets or houses
These have rarely escaped demolition The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
the public
1t is situated near Newgate street, close to a
new annex of the general postofice. The frag-
ment which is that of great scurved bastion.
is SO feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur.
face of the ground. The whole is in wonderful
state of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kcntish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers or bands of red
tiles such as may be seen at Burgh castle, Pc
vensey and Peterborough. The interesting relic Is
to be built around, so that it will lie in cave

POLE FAKER OF LONG AGO

1t is told of a titled Englishman that when his
son explained his folly in going down coal mine
by saying that he spoiled his clothes so as to be
able to say that he had performed the feat. re-
piled: "Why did you say that you had been down
the mine and did not go?" This method appears
to have been followed by one James Knox de
BoIduc monk, who. according to Paris con-
temporary, says the Army and Navy Journal
made his polar voyage in 1865. This Is the pole
as described by this Bolduc
"At the pole one finds the place where all the
waves of the sea concentrate to disappear In the
same whirlpool. Four great islands surround this
precipice, separated by four great canals sue.
ceeding which are the divided seas. An enor-
nous rock. quite black, and % miles in circum-
ference, marks the pole itself.
"The unfortunate ships which venture into
these ATTITUDES are Immediately lost. II they are
not assisted by favorable winds"

HERE is a bow-knot design, to be
III done in French embroidery. To
give note of variety, valenciennes
lace is combined with the needlework.
Some sheer material is best for the
dainty lingerie blouse, fine handker-
chief linen or batiste being the best.
The bow-knot is made of the lace,
which may be turned and twisted and
the threads drawn up to fit the curves.
French or German valenciennes lace
may be used, as one fancies. 1t Is
better to sew on the lace bow-knot
and then do the embroidery, which
should be transferred to the mate
rial by means of carbon paper.
Light blue is better than the dark
colors, as it does not crock. If the
material Is sheer enough it may be
placed over the design on the page,
and fastened down with pins. The
design then may be drawn on with a
fine pointed pencil.
