FROM HEAVY LINEN SKIRT
Many and Lasting Doiiies Made ny
One Clever ard R~esourcefui
Woman.

The housekeeper whose supply OF
doilies is getting low should look over
her summer wardrobe and see ifthere
are any heavy linen skirts not worth
making over, but whose material VIII
last for years. (.
These can be cut into doilies OF
various sizes. One m from the
best parts of a nine-gored skirt cut
an oval >centerpiece, twelve plate
doilies and twelve tumbler doilies to
match, with four smaller ovals for
under dishes. The plate doilies were
nine inches in diameter finished and
the tumbler doilies five inches.
There was no extra cost for stamp
ing. as the edges were finished with
a grouped scallop, the central IN be-
ing twice the size of that on each,
side. This applied to the dolly brought
tive of the smaller scallops side by
side. with a large one between every
two.
The scaIlops were padded with
chain-stitch and worked in No. 80 mer-
cerized white cotton, In a close u
tonhoie stitch.
In the center of each scallop was
worked an eyelet, that in the big seal
lop being larger than the others. A
second row of the smaller size was
added, placed opposite the point where
the two small scallops join. This gives
~a<pyramidal effect alternating with
the larger eyelets. At n side OF
each dolly was embroidered initials in
small block letters.
This design is easy to copy II n
experiments with the correct sized
scallop for each dolly.

CHyLD's PUMPS FOR DANCING
New Idea Has Many Points of I'm.
pcrtance That Are Well Worth
Consideration.

A party of young women who were
training to dance In private theatricals
were told by their instructress to buy
children's patent leather dancing
pumps, with rounded toes, low heels
and narrow strap over the instep.
They rather ~begrudged the money
as they thought the pumps were for
one occasion only. So comfortable
did they prove that every n of those
girls will wear nothing else around
the house in the. evening. 1t saves
their handsomer slippers and the low
heels are restful to the back and in.
cidentally to nerves.
For a very tall girl, these pumps
are especially suitable as the lowness
of the heels reduce her height and
bring her into more normal stature.

For a Butterfly Fete.

At the supper table have a bowl or
he'd OF flowers with butterflies hover
ing above and poised on b blossoms
as a centerpiece. Let the candle shades
be 1ower-trimmed, with a brilliant
moth with outspread wings glued to
the side Of each. Have the place

sert could be Ice cream in butterfly
shape and If SO desired the delicious
