Spangles Are Everywhere.

1t is a giittering year. Spangies are
everywhere, and II up in the storeroom
there is a great quantity of jet, bead
work, spangled net. by all means bring
1t out into the light OF your sewing-room
and utilize it. The afternoon and even
ing costumes are dazzling.
There are so many ways In which
spangled trimmings and pieces by the
yard are used that the story would be
endless before the important subject
were exhausted. Here are a few salient
points in the placing Of this kind Of ma
teriaL
Jet which is not exactly spangles but
has the effect Of the giisteninS sequins
and beadwork is to be the favorite

by storm This jet can be strung on
linen thread and draped over the sleeve

naments that hold up drapery and tunic.
It comes in extremely large beads or In
tiny effects, 50 any style OF Jet in the
box upstairs will do. Fringe will also be
much used as edging for bolero jackets
corsages, and tunics. You may be fortu-
nate enough to have yards unused. BY
all means, do not let II go to waste.
Spangles in the little Jacket bodice are
the rage. Net which is treated in this
fashion is all the trimming that a dress
requires, the glistenlng of the ornamen-
tation being sufficient for the night All
colors are used. There are combinations
of beads, and the use of rhinestones,
Jet and Opaque effects is depended upon

The house Of the Baron Maurice de

a minute in her busy day from the work

II is impossible to obtain wool from
French or English sources, as the entire
supply has been taken for the use OF the

strong appeal a few days ago for dona-
tons Of wool from America

ouvroirs where I could employ knitters.
The Mattresses at Columbin's, Rumpel-

the time. Schoolgirls are willing to work
on holidays. Thursdays and Sundays. Tho
Catholic Sisters want to do knitting, while
the nursing and aged sisters beyond the
nursing age would gladly help, but every
thing has been brought to a standstill by
lack of material
M Delcasse the minister OF foreign

appeal for contributions Of yarn Of any
