GIVE TOUCH OF SHARPNESS
Artificial Rose or Orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
of an Evening Gown.

Make huge rose of black velvet II
you need little extra touch Of smart
ness for your evening or tea gown.
The rose Ii formed of a dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower.
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
foudation easily made of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead OF
being doubled, as is done in making
exotics of thin material, is smoothly
pasted on one side of a piece of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity of
mucilage used will stiffen the joined
materials to the desired Hrmness and
yet they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged.
Easier to shape than the rose ia the
orchid. This, also made of velvet and
coarse net, has esix long and slender
petals with pointed ends tied at their
tips with slender golden threads. An
olive, such as is employed In connec-
ton with military loops, Is the best
foundation for velvet orchid. and to
one end of 1t the wider ends of the
petals may be securely fastened.
This will leave a point protruding
from the heart of the exotic, but one
which may be beautiful concealed un.
der catlix group of seven yellow
silk French knots. The other half
of the olive will be needed as the base
through which to thrust the safety
pins that fasten the flower at the
breast or wherever the corsage bou.
