Spanish Lace Revived.

With the return to favor of the
many old-time materials, such as
broche yelvets and golden woven It's
sues, there is the return to favor of
Spanish lace, Many afternoon and
evening tojlettes. now being designed
for the Casino on the Cote d'Azur. are
showing graceful trimmings of heavily
designed silk Spanish lace.
Many Dalmatiques and clerical
stoles are composed of the most beau
tiful lace. These long stoles fall in
straight panel fashion down the front
and back OF the most gracefully
draped robes.

MAKES PRETTY TABLE COVER
Monks Cloth Appliqued With Linen
Figures Is One Of the Best Forms
Yet Devised.

The woman who is interested in
needlework as employment for the
long winter evenings will enjoy max
ing table cover or scarf of monks
cloth appliqued with linen figures.
Cut the cloth the size you desire of
a very dark green shade and haste in
two-inch hern all around for square
eoyer-and at each end on scarf
then cut out fancy figures from nat
ural colored linen, using either flowers
simple in design, leaves like the
clover and oak, hearts, circles or small
triangles.
Basic these on the cloth just above
the hem and sew them fast by button
boiling around with rope floss in a
burnt-orange shade. One clever girl
made a table scarf, cushion cover and
window curtain to correspond for her
room at college of monks cloth APP
pliqued with figures representing
books, dumbbells, Indian clubs and va
rious things associated with college
life.
One advantage of the work is that it
is quickly done and when finished is
very attractive.

JEALOUSY TO BE OVERCOME
Unpleasant temperament That Is Ger
tain in the End to Destroy Friend
ship and Love.

Jealousy spoils pleasures and de-
stroys friendships, therefore it is most
necessary to overcome jealous tenn
permanent. One frequently hears how
to overcome sensitiyeness, but how to
fight against jealousy is seldom told
US.
1t can manifest itself in numerous
ugly ways and it is not an easy thing
to fight Who has not felt it's painful
prodding? But one must remember
that neither friendship nor love can
stand jealousy's eternal friction, so the
sooner one eliminates it from ones
character the more certain one Is of
keeping both love and friendship
Take what is yours and do not wor-
ry over what is given some one else.
II there is to be any comfort in social
life or in the life of those who must
work, every twinge of jealousy must
be crushed out. The personal element
must be done away with at all times
and we must all learn to make our
selves as efficient as possible in our
various walks in life. To live for and
think of others is always a help; and
added to this we must forget ourselves
except in our efforts to improve our
minds and our lives.

UTILIZING ODD BITS or LACE
Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved
From Scraps That Otherwise
Would Be Thrown Away.

A lovely, if somewhat costly, table
cover recently seen in one of the shops
suggested one of the numerous ingeni-
Gus ways now In vogue of employing
satisfactorily any scrap Of lace or
needlework one happens to have in
the house.
This table cover or tea cloth, about
sixty inches square, in ecru linen, was
cut out round the edges into four
blunt corners, liyided by four van
dykes. Between each peak was in
serted, point upward, a three-cornered
specimen of flet lace, while larger
ones, peak downward, were sewn along
the base of the blunt corners.
A lace insertion framed the center,
filled at the corners with motif of
broderie anglaise. crossed with bars
and connected with powderings of the
open work. Each of the four sides of
the frame was tipped with diamond
medallion in filet lace, and round the
outside edges of the linen square was
a white linen fringe with spaced tas-
sells.

DIVORCE MADE EASY
Law in Norway Makes Separa-
ton Practically Free.
Some Norwegians Think That They
Have Solved the Problem of Civ
llization in Recently Enacted
Statutes,

London.-Norway has now solved
the divorce evil. At least SO declares
Fru Ella Anker, one OF the leaders OF
the Norwegian womens movement.
In explaining the divorce law F'ru
Anker said: First l want to make 1t
clear that this law which has done SO
much to solve the divorce evil in my
country was one OF the direct results
of the Acknowledgement OF my sex.
The law was passed by Liberal gov
eminent, but it had the support OF all
parties. 1t is based on the principle
that mutual love between the husband
and wife is the only moral basis for
marriage. When that feeling fails or
is seriously shaken it is absurd to
bind the two together any longer. The
law ought then to step in and provide
the means for divorce. Our law pro-
vides admission to separation as the
preliminary to divorce when both par
ties request 1t, and similar relief when
one requests 1t on such grounds as to
make it probable that mutual good
will is ruined If there is agreement
between husband and wife, the law
grants a divorce without inquiring
into the reasons, but as security that
the step has been well thought over
before action, it provides that year
of separation must intervene between
the application and the actual grant
ing of the divorce. If the request is
made by only one party two years of
separation must precede the actual
divorce.
In my country divorce is not
looked upon as disgrace. but rather

Velvet suits.

The prettiest of the velvet suits are
simply built, for this fabric is so rich
in itself that it is pity to break the
lovely lines it forms by too much
trimming, says the Indianapolis News.
Velvet coats are rather loose and are
cut in tunic style, to avoid marrlng
seams. Much handsome braid is used
on the coats, and the braid trimming,
in band motifs and crochet buttons, is
repeated on the skirts.
