Beads Used in Embroidery.

The new embroidery is done in beads
and it is really far more interesting
than ordinary embroidery or other
fancy work. For the beads are full
of color, and, what is more, bead en-
broidery progresses so rapidly that
there is no danger of becoming impa-
tient for results.
Bead embroidery can be done on
bags or on frocks or on hats-and in
all these guises it is effective.
When you go to shop to buy beads
for embroidering you may possibly
think you have landed in an apothe-
cary shop, for there the beads will be,
ranged in neat rows in small pill bot
tles-just like so many small pink and
blue and green and yellow and purple
pills, all packed into tiny bottles.
So you will buy bottles of pills for
embroidering-as many bottlefuls as
you wish, of course, for the particular
design you have in mind. And with
your workbag filed with bead bottles
you can go about the design you wish
to carry out.
Beaded bags are perhaps the most
interesting work for a beginner, for
in a really short time you can work
out an effective design for silk bag.
When you get little more expert
you can bead velvet bags, and perhaps
the next thing will be a beaded band
for hat. If you have much daring,
you might try to make beaded land
scape for hat band, for such a band
apDearS on q very smart hot model
Then you can get to work ON bead
ed embroidery design for a frock of
| serge or velvet or silk, and before you
know it you will be an expert bead
| embroidery worker.

Keep Debutante in Mind.

In the maze of lovely evening clothes
for grown-ups 1t must not be forgotten
that there are just as lovely things for
the high-school girl and the debutante.
Dresses for these young girls are made
of softest taffeta, gauze and net, and
where tinsel lace is used it is but a
suggestion, wisp beneath a fiounce
of tulle or fine thread of gold or sill
yer run in a puffed waist. A lovely
dress of powdered Dresden chiffon taf-
feta is made with broad front and
back panels of the silk, which open
over double fiounced petticoat of let
tuce-green tulle yelled in silver-run
gauze. The high girdle bodice is of
taffeta and the frilled sleeves and
guimpe are of flesh-colored tulle. This
dress is $49.50.
And, of course, to wear with these
filmy dresses there must be good warm
cloaks. OF wild thyme green velvet is
one made with wide belt and trimmed
around the close-buttoned collar and
the snug cuffs with broad bands of
fitch. This coat is lined throughout
with gold-colored satin and it's price
is $69.50.-Kansas City Star.

erecian and Empire Close of Kin.

of her youth and first beauty absolute
ly clothes mad. She had a mania for
beautiful fabrics and garments of all
kinds that were different. On one oc-
casion she went to Greece, and in the
classic Grecian costume she immedi-
ately saw possibilities. At that time.
fashion history intimates, Josephine
had begun to ''put on flesh" She took
the idea of the classic Greek dress
home with her, and adapted the long,
graceful falling draperies to her own
figure. The girdling of a Grecian robe
does not suggest a waistline, Joseph
inc added and emphasized this, and
made it high waist at that, revealing
the bust curves. She "reefed' the skirt,
making it tight and also figure reveal
ing. Thus was the first empire style
of waistline born.
Many of the first empire gowns have
severely plain, tight skirts. Others
have tunics and straight draperies or
trains. Possibly the upper arm of the
Empress Josephine had lost it's beauti-
ful shoulder line, and the short puffed
sleeve of the first empire was added
to the newly evolved style because of
this fact.
In any event. first-empire styles are
adopted cousins If not actual blood re-
Iations, of the classic Greek dress, and
the Empress Josephine is credited with
this family intermingling.
The sketch gives a suggestion for a
Grecian style wedding gown. Ivory
white bridal satin is used with a beau
tiful Grecian pattern embroidery done
in silver thread on the tunic, bodice
and train. The sleeves are of geor-
gette, as obviously the sleeveless gown
of the pure Grecian period would hard
ly be advised for twentieth century
bride.
The small sketch is an exact line-for-
line copy of first empire frock. In
the high and clearly defined waistline
one may trace the handiwork of the
Empress Josephine, as in her addi-
tion and subtraction methods of style
designing she transformed a Grecian
costume into one that would go down
In history as Of first empire.

run wires through, and upon these
wires thread two more twigs, with the
result shown in diagram B. Further
twigs, with holes made through each
end, are added, and in that way the
sides of the basket are built up. After
this has been accomplished, the ends
of the wires are carried above the
basket and twisted together into loop
by which the whole thing may be hung
up.
A glance at the sketch will explain
this, and the basket can be made very
bright and pretty by covering the twigs
with gold paint.

Few men are able to look them

Nothing pleases people more than

A man can't afford marriage on S12

When two men fight to a finish, and
both are badly punished, their quarrel

M'CLARYGRAMS

The method most commonly used by
people in answering letters would
seem to be letter slide.
Bring up a penny in the way it
should not go, and when it is old it
shall not depart from thee.
The person who poses as something
better than he really is, makes him
self something worse than he really is.
A man of letters is not necessarily
one who has many letters behind his
name, as culture is not a matter of
degrees.
Business letters are necessary,
friendly letters welcome, and love let
ters delightful; but for real joy
thrill, send us a letter of credit.
He may not realize it, but the good
loser, even in the hour of defeat, by
his indomitable spirit brings the laying
of a foundation of future success.
One of the best possible treatments
for crouch or grudge is to give it full
vent in n letter, using all the space
and all the variety, force and pictur-
esqueness of language necessary to ex-
press just what you feel. Then, very
carefully, and in plenty of time, drop
1t in the wastebasket postboX-Mc
