groups of three at each side. Dark
green ribbon is strung through the
straw and decorates the handle. A
rose with green leaves Is attached
to the top of the handle. This shape
is always procurable and can be
changed completely in effect by the
addition .of ribbon flowers.
A rose in circle of leaves is used
on round fiat basket. Small buds OF
ribbon are attached to green stems
and hang from the handle. The bas-
ket is lined with green silk stitched in
pink or yellow to repeat the color OF
the flowers.
On another little suggestion there is
Vandyke effect of ribbon. Both up.
per and lower rims are wound with
ribbon. Large roses are surrounded
by ribbon leaves. - They are placed at
the lower ribbon points on the basket
Perhaps the exquisite work of the
empire days in France is convincing
proof of the charm of ribbon-trimmed
baskets and bags. They are beautiful
examples of handiwork, and in the re-
turn of this style of decoration all
women can rejoice, for 1t can be done

USING RIBBON ENDS
DAINTY TRIMMING MAY EASILY
BE DONE At HOME.
Really No Task at All to Turn Out
Most Effective characterization
for All Kinds Of Pretty 1ou-
doir Baskets.

Dainty in color and workmanship
are the little baskets that depend on
their trimming of ribbon flowers for
the delicate effects for which you must
pay pretty price II you cannot make
them. But you can! So buy your
ribbon in pale pink, old rose, moss
green and the soft yellows. Purchase
little baskets of fire reed or sweet
grass and then follow directions.
For the preliminary step in rose
making, take piece of narrow ribbon
and fold 1t In the center as you need
1t. Over your finger roll the end and
sew at the lower edge. Keep up this
rolling process until the flower is the
size that you wish. When making
leaves, gather the ribbon at one end
so that the pointed effect can be easily
obtained. The narrow green ribbon
twisted forms an effective stem.
After making a number of roses Of
different sizes and supply Of leaves,

Unfrayed ScaIIops.

Some housekeepers object to the
buttonholed scallop on embroidery be-
cause it trays in washing. This can
be overcome in several ways. The sur
est is to buttonhole second time
over the puzzled edge. when the scallop
has been worked and cut out.
Another method is to run the out
line of the scallop with machine stitch
ing before buttonholing: or in cut
ting leave a narrow margin and turn
back under the scallop and hem to the
material.
II these are too much trouble. at
least wash the linen before cutting
out. The material shrinks and is
much less likely to fray. Where the
entire piece is not washed the en-
broidered edge can be dipped in luxe
warm water for a few minutes. then
iron dry and later cut out close to the
purled edge.

CUT OF THE NEW CLOTHES
Really Few Fundamental Changes
Will Be Noted In styles for the
Coming Season.

Beyond the all-important advent OF
the trouser skirt no fundamental
changes, and few even Of second
airy order, have been made in styles.
Skirts are no wider and some Of the
modes are narrower than ever. Pos
sibilities, however. are held out OF
their being rendered less inconvenient
and dangerous by plat or two hid
den beneath an overlapping breadth
and other similar devices. Coats are
almost invariably short but they con-
tinue to set close to the hips, while
not made to tighten in at the waist.
Empire styles of waist prevail. the
skirts coming up high and both cos
tunes and dresses always belted in
about the natural waist, often right
under the bust. Many of the smart
dresses have trains, but such an addi-
ton is not considered obligatory by
any means and dresses without them
are reckoned quite as smart. Trains
are always narrow-a large percent

prolonged panel. Slight notifications
have been made in sleeves. The fash
ion Of cutting in one piece with the
shoulder no longer reigns supreme.
Halt long and three-quarter long
sleeves are cut slightly wider and all
sorts very straight. Boleros have
have been revived, but as part Of the
costume or dress bodice, not as sepa-
rate garments. Wide collars are retain
ed, but revers enjoy less favor and
are either omitted or rudimentary.

Flanagan creaked over and closed the
door into the hall, came back, picked
up the watch, and looked at it.

"Will you be still?" said furiously.
'Mr. HARRISON left that watch-with

will tell you so himself!"
"Of course he would" Flanagan
conceded, looking at me with grudging
approval: "He wouldn't be what I
think he is, If he didn't lie up and

the hall. Flanagan came closer. "An

Jim was sulky. He dropped into a
chair and stretched out his legs,
looking gloomily at nothing. Then
he got up and ambled into his den,
closing the door behind him without
having spoken word. 1t was more
than human nature could stand.

itself to anything.
We went back to the dining room

around the table and looked at the
lemonade Flanagan had made. Anne
would talk about the salad her last
cook had concoted, and Max told
about little town in Connecticut

luscious fried clans in America. And

A Clash and q Kiss.

The clash that came that evening
had been threatening for some time.
Take an immovable body, represented
and an irresistible force, Jimmy and
his weight, and there is bound to be
trouble.
The real fault was Jim's. He had
gone entirely mad again over Bella.
and thrown prudence to the winds.
He mooned at her across the dinner
table, and waylaid her on the staira
or in the back halls. just to hear her
voice when she ordered him out Of the
way. He telephoned for flowers and
candy for her quite shamelessly. and
he got out book Of photographs that
they had taken on their wedding jour-
ney, and kept it on the library table.
The sole concession he made to our
presumptive relationship was to bring
me the responsibility for everything
that went wrong, and his shirts for
buttons.
The first I heard of the trouble was
from Dial. He waylaid me in the hall
after dinner that night, and his face
was serious.
I'm afraid we can't keep 1t up very
long. Kit" he said. with Jim trail
ing Bella all over the house. and the
old lady keener every day, it's bound
to come out somehow. And that isn't
all. Jim and HARRISON had set-to
