Have you looked at the wonderful
bands Of lace and beads used for even
Ing dress ornamentation? They are ex-
pensive. and will be more so as the
months pass; but that need not deter you
from having them. Make them Yourself.
Buy bands Of net on which there is
a running design of leaves or flowers.
Now go to the bead box or break up
some extra strings of beads that you
have been thinking of throwing away.
With a thin thread and fine needle sew
the beads upon the net, filing in the
background. Between the beads you
can make French knots OF heavy silk
after the beads have been sewn on. This
treatment will give a rich effect and add
much to the color OF the trimming. The
color OF the silk or satin that forms
the dress can be repeated in the beads.
A multi-colored effect can be had by sew
ing beads of any size and shade at ran
dom on the net background.
This idea is particularly good for a
short band Of lace or net placed across
the corsage of an evening gown or a
dressy blouse.

THE DAY OF THE SASH.

This is the day OF the sash. In mar
row piece silk and in broadest ribbon,
1t is everywhere and on costumes OF
such varying character that one wonders
how It happens that so many women
have so suddenly acquired the accessory.
Along with the 1850 frock. the Algerian
sash has come back into fashion. One
would scarcely have expected this COM
bination OF a waist-swathing accessory
with a waist and hip defining dress. But
there is no accounting for the vagaries
Of Dame Fashion and nobody disputes
her will in wearing a length of silk
matching that OF her frock. passed once
about her waist. drawn rather low over
the hips and tied loosely at the back
or a trifie toward one side. On another
1880 frock the close-fitting, back-but-
toned basque and sash are in one ma
teral and the double -founced skirt in
another fabric. To make the difference
between the two the more apparent the
length Of silk set apart for the sash
is held closely to the figure in front
but from the sides is dropped to the
hips At the back II is knotted once
and falls over the skirt in two outstand-
ing ends
Sashes worn by grown-ups are some
times arranged precisely as are those
worn by small girls with their very
best party frocks. That is to say, they
are passed once about the waist and
loosely bowed at its back.
Let It not be supposed that the stout
woman abjureS the sash. On the con-
trary, she adopts it as enthusiastically
as does her slender sister. and she mas it
in materials to match her silk frocks. no
howered ribbons to go with her white lin
gerie and in the Fatima sash which she
wears Fatima fashion.

FOR THE WHITE BEDROOM.

In cream or a white bedroom most
women have the idea that nothing
but white, pink, or blue covers will do
for the dresser, chiffonier, and bed This
is a mistake. To have the bedroom
covers in white when the room itself
is enameled in white is to make the
room characterless, whereas to put a
color into it at once gives 1t a personality.
A decorator noted for his artistic
taste insists that many of the white
enameled rooms which he plans shall
have Colors OF ecrue or deep cream. Deep
cream is preferable, The contrast of this
rich tone against the whitApf the room
is most effective. Even If the furniture
and woodwork be in cream the cream or
ecrue of the lace blends in with II beauti-
fully and yet does not have the char
acterless effect of dead white or cream
with white covers.
For this purpose nothing is better
than the imitation fillet squares of lace.
These come by the yard. already ioIned.
They will not be wide enough. how
ever, to make the cover, so that two
strips will have to be Joined. The
Joining Is made ornamental by a piece
of cluny or torchon lace of the same
shade as the fllet lace 1t will take
two or three OF these hllet strips Joined,
according to the sizes of the square,
When the strips have been so Joined
with the lace and an oblong has been
formed, edge the covers about the edg
ing to match the insertion. To make
the bedroom set complete there should
be bedspread and pillowshams or, IL
one Of those hollow roll holsters is
used, a bolster throw for it. Under
these lace covers in every instance
should be white or cream color foun
dations. II cream color is desired a
cream batiste or cambric can be used
The lace covers can be simply laid
upon these foundations or basted to
them.
II expense is no object, real fiIIe<. and
real cluny lace may be used, but II n
is necessary to economize, you will fnd
that imitation tillet Joined with imita-
ton cluny lace Of torchon in cluny de-
sign is very effective.
