ROSE PINCUSHION.

Have you a friend who has rose
room, or even bedroom done in pale
pink? Then there is tn incest little
petalrd T, Sc pincUShion that You can
make for her. The center is nothing
more than mic" plump little cushion
about the size and shape of small
round biscuit and covered with pink
satin. Not a biscuit with n squared
edge at the top. remember. hut the kind
Of BISCUIT that would suggest piece cut
OF the side OF a ball. only with the
bott I'M rounded off a little more.
The petals are then made. They may
be of any size you wish. but it is well
to max" trreTI in proportion TO the bis
cUit-like center. They are made by put
ting TWO pieces of Ss.tin together. face in,
and running a seam about their edges
by hand or on the sewing machine. leav-
Ing just enough opening at the bottom
to urn the seams insid.. after the petal
is stitched. Thus far the petal is larger
than is desired. but "A shrring thread
about a sixteenth Of an inch from the
edge. after the petal is turned with
seams in. makes il curl like a real rose
petal and so makes it smaller. These
curlcd petals are very pretty. and the
tiny shirring thread of pink silk. which
is plainly visible. is not objectionable.
only suggesting a pretty crinkle at the
end Of the petal
Quite a number of these petals are
made. depending upon the size Of the
center. They are then placed about the
center. the unsttcEed ends of them he
ing fastened to the under side of the
biscuit center. The petals may he two
or three rows deep. When they are all
attached. they will curl up about the
center and look very pretty. indeed.
a small spray of leaves can be pUr-
chased from the millinery department and
tackled to the underside of the rose
cushion to make it even more realistic.
The cushions can, of course. be madn in
red or yellow as well as pink but the
pink ones are far more dainty. How
ever. all depends upon the color of the
friends room to whom you are giving it.

place a clean Turkish towel at the bot

stacks as many dishes in the dripping
pan as she can.

looking exactly right when the wearer
is seated before a mirror, after having

do not believe in buying a hat until

Another thing not TO he lost sight Of is
the color Of the gowns that will he worn

At a reliable store the Saleswoman may
generally be trusted to select a becoming
style. but. in my opinion, the choice
should be left largely TO the wearer. If
she likes it very much, even though some
thing more becoming might be found, she
can generally by judicious cOaNing bring
it to suit her fairly well. II. on the con-
trary the purchaser has bought against
her will, she is apt to find il less hPcom-

will pat here and bend there until Condi-
