NOT HARD TO FASHION ROSE
Artificial Flower, So Popular Just
Now, Can Be Brought Easily
Within the Reach of All.

Artificial flowers are used to trim
apparel from the top of the towering
hats to the toes of the dainty slippers,
and unless you have an exhaustless
purse 1t is well to learn to make some
Of these flowers at home.
The most popular flower is the rose
those dainty French roses used so
much on evening frocks, babies bon
nets, boudoir caps, sachets, etc The
smaller roses are made of silk or
satin or of chiffon; the larger of silk,
gauze, satin or velvet, These may be
made all of one color or in several
pastel shades that blend we'll Calyxes
and foliage of green or bronze can be
purchased at art needle-work shops or
counters.
The rosebuds Of these tiny flowers
are made by forming a wee ball of
cotton and covering it with silk. 1t is
easy to get the effect of folded petals
with the silk over this foundation.
To make the larger roses cut eleven
petals each from your two materials,
velvet and satin, silk gauze and silk,
or from two tones of the same mate
rial. Make them larger than you de-
sire the finished petal to be, as two
petals are sewn together to form one.
Lay the two petals together lone
velvet, one SATIN back to back. Seam
them carefully excepting at the bot
tom of the petal, and then turn them
right side out.
Make a small disk of silk or stiffen-
ing and tack the larger petals around
1t In a circle, gradually decreasing the
size of the petals as you near the cen
ter of the flower Put one of the cen
tiers you bought in the middle of each.
Fix each petal so all joining stitches
are concealed, and fasten the rose to
its calyx and foliage.

may be satisfactorily bought in the
shops.
An exceedingly chic little coat and
skirt of fine white serge which would
make an admirable suit for seashore
wear has been chosen for description,
The coat is made simple of line and
reaches we'll below the hips. There is
a wide belt of tan colored leather
which buttons with the same colored
leather buttons at the back. The
coat also fastens at the back with
large buttons of the white serge.

shown modist little one-piece frock
of white serge trimmed with colored
embroidery at the collar and on the
blouse fronts. The vest is of dull red
cloth and is embroidered in harmon

and skirt are piped with dull red.
Another suit which would be a
good investment for the seashore out
fit is a severely tailored suit Of
dull blue, soft, basket weave wooden
material. The upper part of the coat
is made with a yoke running around
the body of the coat underneath the
