DAINTY THINGS FOR BEDROOM

Bingham.
Blue-and-white is a clean color to
select.
For the bedspread use coarse white
lace insertion about an inch and a
half wide to join the breadths togeth-
er down the center, and also to place
at the heading Of a ruffle eight inches
wide that is placed on each side and
across the bottom of the spread.
The window curtains are made per
fectly plain, excepting for a ruffle
across the end headed with insertion.
A deep valance across the top is
edged with a narrow ruffle also. With
a blue-and-white cotton rug on the
floor this makes a most attractive
room for a young girl. Bingham Is
very inexpensive and launders beau
tifully.

SEWING HELP OF REAL VALUE
s~crapbag Attached to the Machine Is
an Accessory One Cannot Afford
to Be Without.

The woman who uses a sewing ma
chine will do we'll to make herself a
good-sized bag, that can be attached
to the side frame of the machine and
used TO collect all scraps and bits of
thread left from the sewing.
Select an embroidery hoop S inches
In diameter and cretonne 16 inches
long and IA inches wide. Sew the
ends and one side together and turn
the edge of the other side over the
hoop and run a gathering thread in
the hem thus formed. When finished
draw up the thread the size of the
hoop and catch 1t tight. This will
make a bag that is gathered on to the
hoop and Is amply full in body to hold
a goodly number of scraps before It
Is necessary to empty.
Another sewing help Is to have a
pattern bag hung back of the machine.
Make inside pockets to this bag, in
which you can keep the patterns be-
longing to the different members O.
the family. Have also two extra peck
cts that hold patterns of fancy aprons,
bags or dress accessories.
A deal Of time and strength can be
saved in the hunting of patterns and
picking up bits off the floor if your
machine is equipped with these two
handy bags.

foundation until it is covered. Fans
and wings Of buckram are covered
with ribbon LAID on fat at one side
and in side plaits to the other. Larger
disks five inches in diameter are
slashed in four places about their cir
conference, to the depth Of three
inches. By overlapping the slashed
edges and sewing them together a
form is made with a raised center. 1t
looks like the top Of a large toad
stool" Narrow ribbon Is gathered
into full ruf11es and sewed to such
foundations. The finished rosettes
look like hugh full blown roses.
A large ring OF buckram, five inches
across, has a circle two inches or a
little more, in diameter cut from the
center. A wide ribbon with a border
is laid in side plaits and sewed to the
buckram ring. Four loops supported
by ribbon wire, which is caught to the
under side by stitches, are thrust
through the opening at the center and
ends of ribbon falling from the back
of this ornament are to be used to
drape about the crown of a hat.
Three shades of the same color Gas
brown or blue) are used in a pretty
standing ornament, and similar orna-
ments are made Of two shades, light
and dark. Stiff taffeta ribbon is used
for this ornament and does not need
to be wired. The ribbon is cut into
nine-inch lengths and one end of each
length is trimmed into a sharp point.
The straight end is laid in plaits and
sewed to an oblong foundation of
buckram. This buckram piece should
be two inches wide and four long.
The lightest ends are sewed first,
then just below them the next darker
shade, and finally the darkest shade.
The bottom Of the buckram Is COW
cred with pieces of the two darker
shades shirred in fine tucks very close
together. This finishes the decora-
tons.
These handsome ribbon ornaments
make a sufficient trimming for street
hats. Since shapes may be bought
ready faced they may be effectively
trimmed with ribbon ornaments at
home.

THE OLD PLEA

The coffee drinker seldom realizes

Il was a lover of coffee and used It
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because 1t, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)

Ribbon Decorations Are Very Gener-
ally Taking the Place Of Other
Trimmings on Hats-Vlvid
CoIorlngs and Designs.

Nearly all the new bows are quite
unlike the simpler forms of ribbon
trimmings which we have had in the
past. There is a liking for fanciful
forms, and ribbons are made up into
ornamental pieces ready for mounting
on hat shapes just as feathers and
flowers are. They are more generally
used than ever, and that is saying
much, but designers having taken up
the idea Of making new and strange
ribbon decorations, have found them
widely useful, taking the place of 9th
er trimmings on many hats.
Ribbons also are elaborated in
themselves; changeable and two-toned
colorings, pin-stripes, wide stripes and
checks, and many bordered designs
are shown. Then there are the flow
cred ribbons and those that are flow
cred and bordered. Sometimes a
piece will combine a number of these
