There is no telling where the USE
fitness of the new shadow laces will
end. Besides their prominence in
gowns and blouses they have been
exploited in the realm of millinery and
by those who make all the sheer and
dainty things for boudoir wear and the
undermuslins Of today.
These laces are not imitation Of
handmade designs. but something
quite apart. They mark an era in
which their designers are adapting
patterns to the weaving Of cotton into
laces by machinery. The precision and
efficiency OF machinery are factors to
be considered. and they enable the de-
signers to achieve the ARREST fabrics
ever woven. in patterns incredibly in
tricate and fascinating.
In the good old days Of yore only
kings and queens or others Of princely
fortune could wear laces, but now
everyone may own these beautiful
stuffs, because the price is 80 mod
crate.

1t will not take the average woman
long to figure out that the small cost
of these bodices is about nothing as
compared to their beauty. They are
so simple in construction that anyone
can make them. 1t is in the selection
Of pretty patterns in the laces that the
secret OF success lies, and 1t is pleas

longings are possible to those Of
meager means as we'll as to those who
have plenty OF money.

Enda Of Guest Towels.

AS II the tiny towels intended for
the drop-in guests weren't bright and
attractive enough, an ingenious girl
has added color to the little towels for

end Of every towel. When pink-and-
white striped galatea is used the little

have fallen into the habit Of dating
everything in my life from the time
Of my Gripping accident.
When I was little girl, some years
before my accident, ! used to see the
young fellow at the window Of the
adjacent house. The family had just
moved In. but we did not know each
,other. In large towns this is often
the way.
I am three years older than Madge,
my sister, and it always behooved me
to set her a good example. Perhaps
on that account was especially anxi-
GUS that she should not see me ex-
change glances with the boy at the
window opposite. And Madge was
always the beauty. while am plain:
what could do Madge must not do
without more serious consequences.
The house was ours. Our parents
had died when we were small, and an
aunt came to live with us and take
charge. When she died I was twenty
two and Madge nineteen. We stayed
on in the house. but our annuity was
tiny one. There was just enough
money to let us exist and little more.
We used to talk about our future. OF
course we both expected to be mar
ried.
IT / marry first" said Madge, you
will come and live with US until you
marry"
who would marry an ugly duckling
like me?" asked, though In my heart
] knew some day the man would come.
Madge was indignant with me. She
always saw me through the glasses
Of love. But beside Madge was a
black little dwarf. Madge had one Of
those saints faces, and wealth Of
golden hair that made her wonderful.
II we had been like other girls-I
mean, used to social life-her admir-
ers would have been innumerable.
All this while the family had lived
next door. We had come to know
them slightly. Roger. the young man,
was away at college. We had not
seen him for years.
Then came the accident. It was a
fall from our buggy in a runaway, and
when recovered consciousness was
rlxjug at bone in my own bed, and the
and i:~,4s darkened. Before me sat

iron Creme do Chine Dry.

OF course you know that white crepe
de chine will wash, but perhaps you
do not know the very best way to do
It.
Wash the material in cold water,
with white soap. Rinse it very thor
oughly; and here is the great secret
Of succession it without dampen-
ing, after it is completely dry.

Madge. She told me I was getting
better, after three weeks Of terrifying
Inconsistencies.
The days passed and felt stronger.
I wondered why the look Of pain re-
manned on Madge's face. At last they
told me. ! should never be able to
walk without crutches again.
For q whole year I was an invalid.
One day famous visiting surgeon
passed through our town. He spent
four hours here, and two of them were
at my bedside. Madge had brought
him, pleading that he should come and
examine me. He shook his head
frankly when he had completed the
examination.
There ts one man who can re.
Hlace the knee in the socket, and
that Is Ochs Of Vienna" he said. 1T
has been tried in our hospitals, but
never successfully. He has a special
technic for repairing the atrophied
ligaments. You must go to him II you
wish to get WELL"
When he was gone Madge and
stared at each other In dismay. Even
II the great surgeon were willing to
operate for nothing. 1t was impossible
to go to Vienna unless-we sold the
house!
We'll sell IT," said Madge.
OF course refused, and that was
the beginning of our first big quarrel.
For days Madge went about with a
sullen face. But l would not give
way. How could jeopardize our fu-
ture, her future. in order to get my
knee Strengthened?
Finally we arrived at a compromise.
The house should be sold-after
Madge married. Then, II she married
well, we could afford the sacrifice.
