Lace-Edoed DoiIIes.

In making set of round doilies for
Christmas gifts one woman made the
discovery that by stitching narrow
hens in the edges with rather long
machine stitch she could very easily
crochet linen thread lace on the edges,
catching loop of the linen thread in
each machine stitch.
A simple wreath of scattered daisies
and leaves was embroidered on each
linen circle, then a two-inch edge of
lace, resembling torchon, was Gro
cheted about the edge of each. The eff
feet is wonderfully good. The work is
easily done, making charming set
for gifts.

PIN WO of the prettiest of many wide
brimmed hats are pictured here.
One is pressed shape OF hemp
faced with a manageable silk and
bound with velvet The crown is fin
ished with fold of velvet at the base
Two long uncurled single ostrich
plumes repeat the two colors which
are blended in the silk. 1t is the
management of color that gives char
acter and beauty to this simple and
graceful shape. The shape of deep
lavender hemp is of the right shade
to harmonic with the facing of silk
which is gray, blue and rose woven
together. The feathers in blue-gray
and rose-gray combinations seem to
have been made expressly for this par
ticular hat. The narrow binding of
velvet is in deep lavender.
Another hat made of vari-colored

ing. A favorite model for these coats
is short cutaway with a rolling col

now being finished with fur collars
and some of them have waistcoats

Herald Later handsome lace will be
used instead of the fur.

braid (known as racre) shows the
top crown covered with velvet in
green (the prevailing tone in the
braid) and piping at the brim-edge
of the same velvet. This is simple
model with much style. There is a
graceful variation in the width of the
brim and clever tilt, these with the
slight droop convert the shape into a
background for the face. The crown
is low and rather small. 1t is a shape
which can be worn by almost any
one.
Clusters of small compact roses with
green and bronze foliage and small
buds are mounted fat to the brim at
each side. This is one of several
trims which look well with this shape.
One will go far before finding a hat
so simple and so good.
