RIek-Rack Braid.

Twenty-Five years and more ago
every one who had moment to spare
was making lace from the so-called
rick-rack braid. There were collars
Of rick-rack. cuffs of rick-rack, edgings
of rick-rack. and even entire over
dresses for the small daughter made
of this braid. Within short time
the tiny bundles of the braid have
again appeared in the stores. and
have made a strong bid for popularity,
according to the Newark News. Al
ready one sees some very attractive
needlework made with this braid as a
foundation. Bandings of it are being
used for trimming wash gowns and
some exceptionally pretty table
doilies and runners are edged with
rick-rack trimming.

Aluminium Shower for Bride.

While the bride to whom such q
function would be helpful Is still
showered and wisely with linen, kitch-
en- belongings or provisions, even
these time-honored affairs are apt
nowadays to be given with some new
twist without losing their practical
character.
For instance, many brides this year
will be showered with aluminium in
stead of the ordinary kitchen tins and
enameIs. This is, of course, more ex-
pensive than the tin shower, but It
is more worth while. and by selecting
the smaller necessaries or by com
