THOSE LONG LINES
DOMINATE DRESS
The Coat and the Tunic Show
Them in Greatest Per-
fechon.

AS a matter OF fact, the long lines that
are being advocated by all the best
couturieres are the very epitome Of ele-
gance. Long coat basQues and long tunics
greet the eye on every side, and there is
an unmIstakable inclination toward
shaped tunIcs divided up the front or
forming a deep point either side. This,
perchance, is hinted at in an original de-
sign with a little basqued, formless coat,
relieved by touches OF velvet
The fow at the hem Of the tunic Is very
pronounced, while at the top II has the
appearance of developing right out Of the
underskirt, where a decorative trefon OF
braid is introduced.
Shades Of vim de lis and petunia have
been fixed up for the coming season 8
wear, and the cloths reveal many fasci-
mating nuances. Therefore. let US picture
the design under discussion in q petunia
face cloth, with the wee slip vest collar
and undercuffs either of black velvet or
that wonderful pony cloth that one has
to scrutinize and feel to determine its
fabricated character. 1t is, moreover, a
model that would work out with admira-
BILE success in navy serge. Also II looks
extremely well In black face cloth, re-
lieved by details Of colored velvet
For these particular ornamental ao-
juncts a number Of fancy plushes are be-
ing used. A canary yellow fiecked with
black, that actually recalled the plumage
of the favorite little Hartz Mountain
songster, fashioned a small vest. cut in
one with a high up-and-down collar in
troduced into a navy coat, while the
small, square collar Of fur, that can
scarcely be discerned from the front view
at ALL unless it is pushed into an upright
position. can apparently do no wrong In
connection with autumn tailormades.
One of the leading points connected with
the latest millinery models Is the con-
slant use OF large wings on morning hats
and Of the old-fashioned ostrich feather
for hats intended for afternoon wear.
Some Of the simple morning models ere
ated by Lewis are delightful from every
point of view. They are original and
they are becoming.

AN UNUSUAL CENTERPIECE.

Quite out Of the ordinary is a center
piece made by an expert needle-woman
who has, in connection with her skillful
fingers, a bump Of originality and ar
tistic eye. The centerpiece in question
Is Of white linen, embroidered in those
pale pastel shades that are so inoffensive
to the eye, even upon q dining-room Ia
BILE At one side of the centerpiece-
perhaps il would be better to say in the
left-hand corner, If there is such thing
in a cfrcle-there is a little French
basket Of roses, one Of those graceful
baskets with high looped handle. The
basket is filed to overiowing with pale
pink roses having pale green, slightly
shaded foliage. From the overloaded
basket are falling several roses, and
scattered upon the lower part Of the
centerpiece are a rose and several rose
petals The basket is done in old-gold-
colored silk. About the edge is cluny
lace about two inches in width, fastened
to the plain round edge Of the center
piece with invisible stitches The edge
Of the linen, however, Is ornamented
with buttonholes in green silk, although
there is no suggestion Of scaIlopfng at
the edge. The effect is all that could be
desired and is a relief from the conven-
tional centerpiece that is so entirely SYM
metrical and formal.

The most celebrated woman Of today
was Margaret Douglas, mother Of Lord
Darnley, the Inflated husband of Mary
Queen Of Scots. Margaret was the grand
daughter Of King Henry VII Of England,
and as a possible successor to the throne
in the troublous days Of Queen Eliza
beth she suffered many ups and downs Of
fortune. Her first trouble came when
It was discovered that she had an at
tachment for Lord Howard, an uncle of
Anne Boleyn. They were both sent to
the tower and Margaret was released a
year later only two days before the death
of her lover, still in prison. A few
years later she again went to the tower.
This time II was because she was at

Howard family, and later when she was
released she was warned by q bishop to

tower, where she wrought out of her
own white hairs a piece of point lace
for her twice widowed daughter-in-law,
Mary.
Lady Margaret's pardon came only q
little before her death. In spite OF her
many hardships she had not made her

SOME NEW STITCHES.

An observing eye will ind in the most
complete art needlework shop a number
Of stitches that strike more or less new
notes in the world Of embroidery, and
the same observing eye will notice that
these newest stitches are in keeping with
the recent stitches. less new, but yet not
old, that we have been doing for the last
few months and even year. This SINH
larfty Is found in the boldness Of the
stitch. Except for very fine undergar-
ments the fine, painstaking stitch seems
to be somewhat Of q back number. Eject
Is the object which the needleworker now
has in view. One would almost say that
the embroiderer seeks quantity and not
quality, and yet no one can deny that
the large, bold stitches are delightful,
both for the eye and the fingers, and
certainly much needless labor Is saved
and many more embroidered pieces can
be turned out in the length Of time that
It took for one in the fine stitches.
One of the most attractive so-called
new stitches Is the Italian relief stitch.
When made in this stitch the petals
and leaves OF the flowers at first glance
appear to be crocheted, but an analy-
sis OF the stitch shows the leaves and
petals to be formed OF row after row Of
buttonhole stitches, one made on the
edge OF the other. These form q leaf
or petal that, when finished. may be
tackled with q single stitch at the end
or allowed to remain loose. The centers
Of the flowers are usually worked In
eyelet form. one eyelet to each flower.
Loop bullion stitch is being revived.
II is the stitch Familiarity known as the
wheat stitch" only that the little
looms are spread In widened ovals and
caught to the material at the end Of
each loop by three straigbt stitches, one
long center one and two shorter ones
on either side. This applies to both
petals of flowers. and TO leaves. The
stems are done In. stem stitch.
There is a zigzag buttonhole birdseye
stitch that at first glance might be
taken for fagoting. II is somewhat
more intricate, however, though not dif-
fcult.

crocheted. While the reticella Is more
