New HandkerchiefS.

(OLORED handkerchiefs are still in
- fashion, and the colors and mate
rails in which they are made are both
more varied than ever before.
There are delightfully."- soft handker-
chiefs made Of crepe from Japan. They
are made in two-coIor combinations.
Sometimes the center Is white, and the
hem blue, sometimes the center blue
and hen. white, and sometimes the hand
kerchlef is made of two shades of blue.
Other colors, too, are used, and all OF
them are soft, rich colors that stand
washing well.
The butterfly handkerchiefs are in
keeping with the general liking for the
butterfly that has pervaded. the whole
realm of dress. Half a dozen handker-
chiefs are sold in a set, each embroid-
cred with big butterfly in one corner.
OF course the six butterflies are all diff

Black Velvet Bracelets.

TT has now become fashionable In Paris
to wear a broad bracelet Of black vel
vet on the left arm. Il fits the wrist
snugly and is held In place by a large
monogram Of small diamonds bedded in
platinum.

worn on the arm with an evening cos
tune. 1t Is far more conspicuous than

HINTS FOR: THE SEAMSTRESS

TO keep the sewing room from becom-
ing untdy when much sewing is
being done pace a large sheet on the
floor under the sewing machine, and keep
basket nearby to hold the scraps.
Cover the top of the basket with thin
material drawn together with elastic

scraps accumulate. Keep all patterns
rolled on mailing tubes, and fasten with
rubber bands, as creasing wears them
out quickly.
A Sewing Basket.
To make handy little sewing basket
get small grape basket and detach the
handle. Cover the basket carefully with
pink or blue cambria. Pad the inside
slightly with cotton wadding. Next cover
with a thin white lawn gathered at the
top and bottom. If desired, small pock-
cts may be attached.
String spools of different kinds of
thread together on piece Of baby rib
bon, and between the spoons, which
should be two inches apart. fasten at the
upper inside portion with rosettes Of
baby ribbon. The thread will always

the bottom, face it for about four
inches with PLAIN or snirred Ulack sat

shield-snaped piece of black satin and
hasten neauy about the back of the
neck under the hanger. This will save
the wear at the collar.

be sure to cover shields with satin and

lining. and 1T can be removed from

slip on under a coat to protect a deli
cate and light-colored waist or gown
from being mussed or soiled, by the
coat.
To Turn Bias Fold.
An easy and rapid way Of turning
the edges OF a bias fold is to place two
pins an inch Or two apart on your
knee or on the ironing board. After
turning in the edges at one end of the
fold as you wish them, slip under both
pins and pull through the entire
length. Both edges will then be fold
ed evenly. If the fold is extra wide
use hat pins on the board. and have q
warm iron to press it, so that the fold
will remain as fixed.
When silk pulls out Of shape under q
pattern haste the edges of the silk
evenly to a newspaper, then cut
through silk and paper. To press tucks
in crepe de chine put a sheet of white
tissue paper over the right side. In
this way the tucks can be. seen and
kept straight.

and got out the dye pots.
Callot also uses q new kind of Rus
sian fur which. / think, Poiret uses
too. 1t is called kolinsky and is a
queer yellow that is not altogether at
tractive.
Callot's Zouave Skirt.
Callot brought out her new skirt in
many guises. but the most sensational
costume that included it was eminently
Turkish. The skirt was Of white satin
laid In wide tapping pleats at the waist
line. and the fullness from these was
pulled straight out at the knees to look
like the ZOuave trousers of the Turkish
soldiers. The narrow lower part, which
was not separate and attached to the
pleats. but was a tightening of the
drapery, was hardly wider than a pair
of trousers at the hem.
The jacket worn with this skirt was
OF bright Turkish blue velvet. s.ashed
at each side and Ornamented with
braid.
Callot goes in decidedly for Turkish
a d ideas. She is strongly

THERE are many new shirt waists in
] the shops, but the favorite one is of
white chiffon cloth, the thin. transparent
fabric that is about twice as thick as the
ordinary chiffon.
The waist is made simply. 1t has a
broad yoke across the back, to which
the material is gathered. and loose
sleeves that end in wide turnover cuffs
at the wrists. The fronts are also gath

very much in fashion and especially on

Callot's Late Opening.
The house of Cabot is as peremptory as
that of Premet, although IL has more
cause, because it is o der and has had q
sad experience with the copyists of Doth

American buyers the first or second DAY

will we have to buy?'

of gossip as society and politics. Mighty
interesting gossip. too. although those
who look at the surface of clothes may
not consider ii So
The tale Is this: Rodier. the great
fabric designer, created duvetyn and put
1t out to the famous dressmakers for
their new gowns. The secret got out.
the fabric was copied and called by the
same name, when. much to the conster-

II you are consumed with curiosity to
| know what this material is like. just
look at a piece of velours de laine and
remember that duvetyn is softer and
more pliable, but almost exactly the same
weave.
The former fabric was too bulky to
manipulate in the modern movement Of
clothes. and Rodier came forward with
this new weave which resembles it, but
has none OF its disadvantages.
