New Corsage Bouquet.

Genuinely fascinating are the corsage
bouquets from Paris. which are offered
for sale In the quaintest little boxes. In
these, artificial flowers reach the zenith
of their perfection. Furthermore, they
will not wilt, no matter at how furious a
pace the dancing is carried on, IAN item
in their favor which must not be ig-
nored." And there's such variety! Nearly
every flower one can think of is repre-
scented. The latest novelty. however, is
the primrose. This bunch Of primroses
(primula obconica), blushing In its Frenchy
little box. is SO exQuisitely done that it
seems to have just emerged from some
experts forcing house. And since per-
lection il never cheap. one expects to have
to pay for these primroses.
Not that one must pay SO much neces-
sarily.
There are roses and carnations at vari-
GUS prices, but, however natural they
may be, they have not the vogue Of the
more unusual flowers for corSage bou-
quets. Experts have copied these favor
its flowers to such an extent and with
such perfection. though, that we no longer
marvel. With the various orchids and
other dainty flowers 1t Is different They
are both beautiful and somewhat un-
usual-enough to win them the most ex-
almost as fetching as the flowers them
selves Before the counter where these
posies are sold all day long fascinated

The skill Of those who make these flow
ers Is past understanding. They seem to

improved Dishpan.

A new dishpan Is being placed on the
market that is going to prove a decided
improvement on the old way Of washing
dishes, though it will be long time be-
fore 1t will be In general use, as the
poorer class will still adhere to the old
kind on account Of the cost.
The new dishpan has been patented by
a California woman and has decided ad-
vantages not known to the old FORM
They say that in the bottom Of the
pan, In the middle, is a ring-like addi-
ton. while along one side are curved
bends in the top and the bottom, in
which knives. forks and spoons can be
placed upright and kept separate from
the other articles In the pan.
With the middle ring 1t can easily be
seen that the dishes can be stood around
1t and there will be no necessity Of the
dishwasher having her hands always
immersed in the hot alkali water while
doing this work.
The same invention is supposed to be
used as a cupboard in such places as
flats. where the housewife Is restricted
for want Of space In which to keep the
articles that are in everyday use, while
another advantage is that the dishes
when rinsed can be allowed to dry in
the same receptacle. clean peach bas-
ket has often been put to this use, and it
is known that there is never any fear of
lint from hand dryer attaching itself
to the dishes when this Is resorted to.
So the new dishpan will surely be well
coined when 1t finally makes it's appear
ance In the cheaper grades of materials
SO that all can afford to own one.

Oriental Embroidery.

Devotees Of the embroidery needle will
be pleased to learn and put to good use
the new wrinkle Of the two-sided en-
broidery.
Jabots and neckties, scarfs and tunics,
or even fans. can be enhanced by hav-
ing both sides of the embroidery show
up equally well.
II requires a deal of patience and a
| little trouble to acquire accuracy in the
stitches. but then one is rewarded in be-
ing able to monopolize the hitherto un-
| USED side of any of the articles named
| above, and II one has the time one can
even enlarge on the scope of ones fancy
work.

Inc nrst designs upon which we must
concentrate our efforts must be neither
| thing simple and of design easy to fol-
low, SO that In the new departure we do
not easily become confused and perhaps
become discouraged before the work is
hardly commenced.
For q beginning 1t Is to be assumed
| that on account of its stitches being
slightly slanting the satin stitch should
be attempted.
The filling in Of the figures in which
padding is necessary should be done as
one progresses.
More than ordinary care must be ex-
ercised to fasten each thread invisibly,
that is, beneath some other or in the
body Of the cloth, so that it can be sew
ed through by the following needleful,
and In this manner it will be firmly Sc
cured in place.
The working Of dots is done by a
different process than the regular en-
broidery. as 1t is supposed to be started
in the middle and worked to the one side,
then carefully drawn between the
threads already in and the other half
finished from the side to the center 80
that the thread can be securely hidden
away.
Avoid knot If you would be success
full at this kind Of work and bring the
threads close to one another.

For Shade Rollers.

When buying new shades on rollers,
always put in a number of additional
tacks. as usually there are far too few
put in by the makers. Use them es-
pecially at the ends. This saves the any
noyance OF having to retack the shade
on the roller in case of the careless hand
ling which children often give them.

Americans Wear Hose.

San Antonio, Texas, June 81
The people of the United States use,
according to the recent statistics sent
out by the government, 100000, 900
pairs of hose annually, an average of
almost eight pairs to the person
Cotton supplies ninety per cent Of
the raw material used in manufac-
turing them One fifth of the cotton
of the world is grown in Texas, which
shows that the Lone Star state con-
tributes very largely to clothing The
feet of the nation. The increase for
the past year was sixty per cent in
quantity The increase of the popula-
ton for the year was about two per
cent, which proves that the people OF
the country are using more hose than
ever before and that large per cent
of this increase comes from the cot
ton fields of Texas.
