SOME NOVELTIES IN Wells
Those of TuIIe With Only a Single
Spot Are Pretty-HoW to
Keep in Position.

Tulle lace wells in countless designs
are among the new items of interest,
many Of them having but single spot
in the whole veil. The main object In
wearing this veil is to bring the spot
over the precise part of the face
where it will look most bewitching.
It should be placed either under the
left eye, ct the corner of the mouth or
close to the lobe of the ear.
On hats with brims bristling with
feathers, aigrettes or tulle friHs, blue,
violet. red or green tulle should be
worn, transformed by means of one
velvet spot, to be worn as described.
These wells are difficult to put on
above the hat borders. Place care
fully beneath the tulle frili or the al
grette fringe; then fasten with two
or three large-headed pins matching
either the veil or the hat.
Bring the folds round to the back OF
your neck and fix them tight together
nv means of a brooch, or else leave

PRETTY CONCEPTS FOR BABY
Any Number Of Dainty Things De-
signed to Show Of the Monarch
of the Household.

Pretty lace caps for babies are cas-
lily made by using white lace allover,
and drawing in the fullness at the
back with ribbon run through tiny
hem. The edges of the bonnet are
trimmed with lace rufles. and the
long strings are made Of fine lace in
sertion about three inches wide.
A dainty carriage robe for summer
use is made of fine dotted swiss, made
over pink foundation and lined with
a thin sheet of cotton wadding. The
robe may be ruffied with swiss, edged
with lace, or finished around the
edge with small pink and white silk
cord 1t is good plan when making
a carriage robe to put a pocket on
the under side IN which to place
small articles.
A pillow for baby's carriage Is
made with wide insertion and ribbon
the same width. 1t is tied bolster
style at both ends, the frilled portion
being finished with narrow lace and
ribbons.
The pad for the baby buggy can be
ma3e of white linen, very plain, with
a border of insertion sewed about
three inches from the edge. This is
run through with ribbon, making
flat border to the pad when complet-
ed. Finish one end with buttons and
buttouholes.

tricks by which fashion is distinguish

The sultan wanted to give Stead a

automatically to make the exchange,
