Exceedingly Pretty Are Some Of tie
Designs, Generally in Two

wide, is box plated across the center
Of one side to make length of about
eight inches and at fingers distance
from the edge of each outer plat an
elastic band is run through shirring,
crossing the entire width of the scarf,
and this shirring is finally covered by
broad ribbon which ties beneath the
chin. This arrangement of plaits and
shirrings forms full, soft hood, which
falls in graceful folds about the head,
while the remainder of the scarf
makes perfectly shaped cape to pro-

lengths of two contrasting colors are
easily made into charming looking

edges, with an all-over design worked
in silver or pearl beads or with a
ruching of net encrusted with crystal
beads.

SUGGESTION FOR STRAW HAT
Effective Trimming That Might Well
Be Copied for Home-Designed
Millinery.

A most attractive trimming worn
upon a hat of burnt straw by lady
whose good taste is undisputed was
fashioned in this manner:
A pattern for large petal was cut
and used as a guide to fashion petals
from tan-colored corded silk.
Two thicknesses of silk were used
for each petal; these were stitched
together by the machine, turned and
stitched again, quarter inch from
the extreme edge.
Twelve of these were sewn to a
small disc of buckram to form a flow
er.
In the center of this was chou of
narrow silk fringe of tan. The center
of the fringe was formed by disc of
gold cord adorned by two small tas-
sells.
This makes an altogether smart
hat. A yard of silk, five yards of
fringe and two yards of gold cord are
required.
