USING A LINEN SKIRT.
Can Be Made of Discarded
Garments.

The hOusekeeper whose supply Of
doilies is getting low should look over
her summer wardrobe and see if there
are any heavy linen skirts not worth
making over, but whose material will
last for years.
These can be cut into doilies Of va
riOus sizes. One woman 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 OYals for under dishes.
The plate dOilies were nine inches in
diameter finished and the tumbler dol
lies FIVE inches.
There was no extra cost for stamp
ing, as the edges were finished with
a grouped scallOp, the central one be-
ing twice the size of that on each side
This applied to the dolly brought two
Of the smaller scallOps side by side,
with a large one between every two.
The scallOps were padded with chain
stitch and worked in No. 80 mercerized
white cotton in a close buttonhOle
stitch.
In the center Of each scallop was
worked an eyelet, that in the big
scallop 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 pyramidaI effect alternating with the
larger eyeIets. At one side Of each dolly
were embroidered initials in small
block letters.
This design is easy to copy II one
experiments with the correct sized
scaIlop for each dolly.

DAINTY DANCING FROCK.
Lawn and Embroidery Combined to
Make This Charming Summer
Model For Young Girls.

A charming development Of lawn
and a new kind of embroidered net is
shown in the sketch. In the skirt the
lawn is gathered at the top and again
above the knees, where it is met by a
band of the new lace, which is very
effective combination of batiste en-
brOidery on a fillet ground. This band
is Joined to the main portion Of the
skirt by a band of shirred lawn three

MILDLY Ties Used.

The strong vogue for sailor effects is
increasing the demand for long, broad
silk ties.
The newest, called MILDLY ties, are
wider and half as long again as the
regulation Windsor tie. The favorite
colors in these are red, navy blue and
blue and white polka dots.

Lace insertion.

When making lace insertion in the
skirt hounce or the yoke of a lngeris
frock, where the lace must stand some
strain, place strips of bobbinet or net
under the lace. All lace yokes, indeed,
should have a net lining. They ara
made much stronger, and their beauty
