IS DISTINCTLY BAD TRAIT
Too Many Girls Aim at Complete Mo-

Are you one of the girls who IL so

Why do they do It?
Perhaps from vanity. They like to
seem the great belle Of their set, the
one with an ever-growing string of ad-
mirers.
Perhaps from. jealousy. There is
many a girl who would Indignantly
deny being jealous who presents that
appearance by her dread OF sharing
her attention. She makes point OF
keeping her men friends and her girl
friends apart; she never introduces
save when driven to it. and quickly
follows the introduction by detraction
of the other girl to the man, some
times by open misunderstanding.
Perhaps from seltishness. She
thinks that the fewer girls a stranger
in town knows the more time and
money he will have to spend upon
her.
Whatever the cause, it is a poor
one and shortsighted. A girl must be

DESIGNING OLD 6EDePREAps %
.> u THE. LATEST FAD. ssS
Two ideas That Are Both Popular
and Effective Are Ii Strip Or the &
Diamond Design Of Twlne Or s.
y" /.~,, Monks, Cloth. W. ~ :

Young girls have found q way to
keep their nimble. fingers busy In the
making Of rather odd bedspreads.
appropriate mostly for the Rooms
OF bachelor brothers. friends or even
uncles.
OF these new bedspreads there are
two, kinds-those made Of Irvine and
those made Of monks cloth. Both are
popular and effective. 1t is a matter
OF taste with a young girl whether
she wishes to crochet a Irvine bed
spread or to sew together and rough
ly embroider one of monks cloth.
The Irvine bedspreads have taken
the place in the working OF neck
ties for crochet work. Happily they
are not all made in one piece. but OF
many small squares or diamonds, &C.
cording to the design, which are sewn
together later. It is therefore an easy
matter to carry about In the workbas
one or two pieces in process OF ma
king and to take them out whenever
an opportunity offers for little light
crocheting.
The so-called Irvine used for these
bedspreads comes In large balls like
those of ordinary twine, and can be
purchased at either fancy or depart
ment shops. The needle should be
OF size that handles we'll the par
ticular thickness of Irvine necessary
for the selected design.
Some girls are making these bed
spreads in strips after designs long
known in connection with afghans.
and prefer them to the those that are
made out of numbers Of small
squares or diamonds. The strip de-
sign gets rid of the labor of sewing
the many small pieces together. 1t is
also equally pretty. The designs made
in small squares or diamonds are real
ly more elegant, for they follow pat:
terms suggestive Of cluny lace and are
done with finer Irvine than those In
strips. They are more for the young
girls own bedroom than for that OF
the bachelor brother. The successful
note about such work is that 1t pro-
duces an immediate stylish effect
And once made such bedspreads last
forever.
