Dominant Color in Millinery, Either
Alone or in Combination WIKI
Shades of d Softer Hue.

Even yet the black hat continues
to attract universal attention, and
when any color is introduced at all it
is always most tentative. Those ex-
ceedingly ugly. hard tulle aigrettes,
reminiscent of baby's rattle, are no
longer to be seen, and arisen in their
place are the most fascinating orna-
ments OF aigrette type, but effected
very lightly in plisse rain-proof tulie.
On a little black tulle shape, the
crown arranged for all the world like
a mob cap, and set within a narrow
drawn brim that had quite a little

Dainty and Original Scheme for Din

One of the pleasantest of the many
duties Of the housewife is certainly
that of arranging the decorations OF

dainty and original decoration, which

in doing this
The base consists of a piece Of wire
bent into a circle, and to this portion
of the framework two hoops of wire
are fastened and arranged to cross
each other in the center, where they

Round this framework leaves of a
creeper (iyy can be used in winter
when other leaves are not available)
are twisted until the wire is entirely
hidden, and attached to the top is a
smart rosette of broad colored ribbon,
with ends hanging down.
In the center of this decoration, a
vase filed with flowers or other orna-

blossoms are cheap, they can be inter
mingled with the leaves and fastened
to the wire with green cotton, and
will greatly add to the prettiness Of

Normal Waist Line.

There Is not the smallest doubt that
the waist is rapidly returning to it's
normal position on the feminine fig
ure. Even now the front of the smart
gown has this line, but it rises slight
ly toward the back. In a gray mauve
crepoline this form is followed. The
bodice is cut away at the throat and
has bretelles of very handsome mauve,
gray and pale amber embroidery, the
ends of which, back and front, pass
underneath the belt of mauve satin.
The kimono sleeves reach only to the
elbows and are met by long gloves

emphatic yellow of last season.

Rose Leaves in Rope silk.

An excellent way to work rose
leaves is by means Of the fishbone
stitch. especially if worked in a rope
silk or coarse mercerized floss, al
though finer floss can be used with
good effect on a small leaf To make
a leaf, start at the apex and take one
small stitch on the central vein, then
take q stitch on one side, in slanting
position, ending at Just over the CEN
trail vein. Then take a stitch on the
opposite side, ending It just over the
central vein. Work in this way from
side to side; alternating, working from
the apex to the base. The leaf may
be shaded by using different colors
for one leaf, light green at the tip,
dark green at the base, with medi-
UNI shade between the two.
