would trace the damask design to the
material pad it and work IT the usual
way, but she finally decided that 1t
would be easier to work right over the
damask, thus saving time, insuring ac-
curacy and furnishing the padding at
the same time.
SO she basted the damask design on a
piece of light co1ored satin, covered the
roses and leaves with the usual colors
with the embroidery stitch, following
the pattern as carefully as stamped
one.
When all the damask design was COW
cred she cut off the exposed damask
carefully. The satin then presented an
exquisite wreath of roses standing out
distinctly. AS an experiment she made
a tiny edge of buttonhole stitch around
, the entire outline, not catching up the
satin. This would only be necessary
when it is difficult to cut the damask
rs close as desired. The work was
then mounted on circular cardboard,
and the result was a handsome frame.

DOSES are decided fashion this
summer, and one of them that has
caused good deal of attention Is
made of black net. 1t is sometimes worn
on a white net frock and sometimes II, -
worn on satin. 1t is most effective when
worn with white gown.
THE new hats for autumn wear are
i made very largely of black velvet,
and many of them are trimmed with sil-
yer or gold roses. There have been
many predictions that metallic faprlcs
would come into high favor, and the
roses on the new hats justify them.
They are very attractive--these velvet
hats with silver roses or silver bind
ing of braid about the edge.
IF you have an old lace shawl packed
light. You may wear it this summer
with Your white or other evening
frocks. French women have set the
fashion for this. One smart French
woman wore, also. a japanese silk
shawl, fringed about the edges, made
into cape and thereby attracted a
good deal of attention.
BRAID as binding is much used on
- the new serge and gabardine suits
and 1t Is very effective. Probably 1t will
receive an added impetus in the present
warlike state of Europe because of it's
military suggestiveness-

squares and oblongs of black velvet.
A white taffeta skirt Is banded with

it Is developed with lace fiounces. One

Paris was made with brown lace ruff

LIP pockets are still feature OF
- some skirts. On sport skirts there
are fiat patch pockets. On some of the
new pleated skirts small pockets are
stitched over the pleats, and pockets
