BEADS
Important IN
Trimminss
By EDNA EGAN.

He present fashion is to intro
duce beads into every scheme
of decoration. It would be an
economical thing to buy supply of
embroideries and to bring them into
line with the new fashion by work
ing up the pattern with silver, jet,
or colored beads.
More beaded garnitures are seen
than heretofore, and many of them
are of pearls in the larger sizes.
Beaded motifs and ornaments, bead
fringes, and bead tassels all have a
prominent place In the display of this
class OF trimming. Beaded bands run
largely to the wide widths, and the
greater portion are on black, blue,
and green nets, with the colors rang
ing from the subdued tones to the
brightest known shades and com
binations. New designs in beaded
and metallic embroidered bands show
quite a good deal of variation from
those previously seen. The semi
geometrical, oriental designs, sug-
gestive of rug patterns, which have
been seen in white embroideries, have
been reproduced in bead trimmings,
as well as interlaced arabesque eff
fects.
Light co1ors predominant IN the
dress trimmings intended for even
ing wear, such as white. pale blue,
pink, lavender, etc., with gold and
silver bugles, seed beads, and satin
beads used as decoration. In trim
mings for afternoon gowns the lean
ing is toward bands embroidered in
silk floss, lace, worsted, and chenille,
emphasized by beads. Vivid colors
are used in many of the newest eff
fects, particularly those with the
East Indian motif. Orange, yellow,
bright green, purple, blue, and red
are all used in combination on back
ground of black, navy, or white net.
There are. however, equal numbers
brought out in the soft pastel shades
Wooden and composition beads, dyed
in plain and metallic colors, are much
used, the composition beads being
frequently IN cube form.
Among the various forms in which
beads are used for dress decoration
is included new panel sash in SAKE
blue satin, decorated at the end with
black, white. and green beads.

A French pomatum which stimu-
lates the scalp and, therefore, arrests
falling hair to a great extent, is
made by this formula: White vase
line, three ounces; castor oil, one and
one-half ounces; gallic acid, one and
three-fourths drains; oil Of lavender.
thirty drops.
Vaseline is one of tho best sub
stances which can be applied to the
head and it is superior to animal
grease in that it never becomes ran
cid Crude petroleum, applied in
light quantity to the scalp with mas
sage is also immensely beneficial, pro-
noting an almost instant increase in
the growth Of the hair.
Lastly, let me assure my readers
that the invisible nets provided for
keeping the couture in shape are a
great protection against some of the
winters damages. These keep the
hairs, which would otherwise 1v
about loosely. from breaking off in
the wind. and certainly the smooth,
well-kept appearance they give is an
other advantage.

New In
Embroidery
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

66HS it possible" ask the bored
embroiderers, that there is
anything new under the sun in
the way of fancywork?" Yes; it
is very true, and very pretty as we'll,
1t is wooden crochet on velvet.
A dull velvet with not too thick a
pile is chosen for the foundation,
and on it are sewed clusters Of little
flowers, crocheted in Berlin woods in
a contrasting and appropriate color.
The flowers are crocheted separate
ly-it is the simplest form of the
work. being only in single crochet,
though shell stitch, if preferred, and
if carefully manipulated, will give
the raised edge even better. Start
the work, of course, from the center,
thus LAYING the little opening
through which the flower is sewed to
the velvet. A few radiating
stitches. doubled SO as to give a
heavier effect in the topmost bios
som of the cluster, are all that is
necessary. There remains to add the
stems and leaves.
The former. naturally enough, are
done in stem stitch, with rather long
stitches Use silk or mercerized
thread for this, as for all the work
except the flowers themselves, since
wool would be too heavy. Besides,
the contrast increases the atLracL1V6-
ness of the effect.
For nearly all the leaves a heavy
back stitch will be sufficient But
the leaves at the base of the central
cluster on the girdle and of the clus-
ter at the sash ends must be treated
differently.
They are marked either entirely in
Japanese chain stitch, or in seed
stitch with a chain stitch outline
Even French knots, with a button
holed edge, would be quite in order,
especially as the leaves on the sash
proper reach quite TO the edge of the
velvet. They Will be the better,
therefore, for little fortifying with
buttonhole stitch.
The prettiest part of this quaint
work, and, I think, its real reason
for being, is the lovely color con-
trasts obtainable. I have seen, with
harmonizing shades of green for
leaves and stems. peacock blue on
white, purple on gray, straw color
on terracotta, navy bite on crimson.
Each was as pretty as it could be;
the soft shades of the woods 1.-THE
same woods of which they are max
ing artificial flowers for street wear
at Paris. the velvet and the silk
contrasted SO charmingly.

Sw& HE influence Of Napoleon over
clothes is evidently going to be
as continuous as the history of
the man over politics. The very
newest news from Paris is that the
Directoire coat is the reigning fash
ion, and that we may. expect to see
it in America, but whether or not
it will become popular cannot be
solved this far ahead.
The American figure, as rule, is
not the kind that wears a Directoire
coat we'll. The French women do.
They know it, and therefore they are
always delighted when the fashion is
revived Their slender, supple fig
ures carry off the quaint little gar
ment in very fetching manner, and
so many of us are athletic and walk
as though we were on the tennis field
instead of in the drawing room that
all the Directoire fashions are debat-
able.
However, the coat is a fashion, and
as such is important. Its forerunner
was the little colored silk jacket with
the shallow pep1um filled in at the
normal Waistline. These colored
coats were so excessively popular
through the summer among the we'll
dressed Women-although it must be
said they are not popular with the
maSSeS-that anOther KIND or coat
had to be invented, and the choice
fell upon the Directoire shape.
These are made Of Empire green
satin of that old gold which was so
much in favor then, and in soft
shades of new blues, especially peri
Wrinkle blue and the reigning shade
of kings blue. The shape of these
coats is according to regulations. The
body part is rather tight fitting, has
immense revers, and long tails which
fall below the knees In much the
same way that our new sashes do.
It may be that their popularity
suggested the Directoire coat as well
as did the little short affair which
preceded it. We have become so ae-
customed to broad panels down the
back of our skirts, whether from
sashes or detached drapery, that the
Directoire coat will be right at home
At present, If a woman wants to
wear something original she should
choose a bright green taffeta for this
Directoire coat, edge the fronts with
box-plaited ruching in places of re-
vers, add a long shallow collar of
soft lingerie, and wear it over a mar
row skirt with wide pun about the
knee, made of eyelet embroidered
batiste.

THE HAIR
It's Care In The
Min<or=Time

~ HE quality of the shampoo de-
ponds upon me hair. Hair
prone to a profuse flow of oil
may require a little borax or ammo
MIA in the water, but dry hair will
not stand this, and the shampoo
liquid must be itself of an oily and
feeding nature. If eggs and CASTLE
BUDS are used upon this head, the
hair will be left soft and slightly sug-
gestive of having been oiled; but as
the raw egg darkens the hair some
what, thost who object to this feature
should employ something else.
Liquid green soap and quillia bark
are both advised for blonde hair. The
bark is prepared by sleeping a small
piece in boiling water, which pro-
duces a cleansing suds agreeable and
soothing to the scalp, and the use Of

with TigOrOus massage before the &C

and CASTLE, the egg beaten up with
little warm water is used first and
then the SudS. The rinSing at all
times must be thorough, for what

Keep the bits of channels you have
in the house, wash them and dry.
They are splendid for making finger
stalls to use when one is polishing
silver. It takes but a moment to
make one OF the stalls and the hand
is not injured by the chemicals in
the powders or liquids. Garden
gloves without fingers can be made
of chamois and protect the hands
while one is working among the flow
ers. Old pieces make splendid stove
