USE or TRANSFER PATTERNS
All Sorts Of Designs Are at Command
and Their Employment Should
Be General.

For a long time it has been possible
to buy machine embroidered shelf
edging in heavy white cotton. Now
the design for this edging can be
bought and transferred to white cot
ton bands. 1t consisted of tiny htch-
en- utensils bowls, coffee mills, pep
per pots, spoons and teapots. There
are similar designs to apply to the
ends of kitchen towels. The same de-
signs are very effective worked on buff
fet and serving-table scarfs for the
simple dining room. They are most
effective in blue, on white.
The swallow and bluebird remain IA
yorite designs for embroidery, and they
may be bought ,in numerous attitudes
to apply to centerpieces and table
doilies, to towels, bureau scarfs and
other linen.
Cross-stitch is used, and very effec-
lively, too, for embroidering towels,
and it can be quite as effectively used
on chi1dren's dresses. Worked in pink
or blue on white it gives charming
results.
The woman who does much embroi-
dering should buy several sets of the
alphabet, in transfer patterns. She
will then have any letter she needs,
whenever she needs it.

LINGERIE OF MERIT

"Underthings'' and negligee gar
ments are quite as important to the
wen-dressed woman as are the suits,
gowns and coats of her wardrobe. She
knows that smart dressing must have
a correct foundation, and that such a
foundation never consists of poorly
made, ill-fitting undergarments. Per-
sonal daintiness demands that a real
pride be taken in the material and
make of lingerie and negligee apparel,
and while there is rarely as quick and
radical q revolution in the style lines
of these garments as is realized fire.
quently in outer apparel, certainly I'M
dergarment styles do change and each
season sees the introduction Of many
novelties.
Sheer silks and very soft, pliable
satins are well liked for undergar-
ments by many women, while for real
hot-weather wear the thin cottons-
batiste, net, etc.-are generally pre-
ferred.
White batiste and muslin under
garments are correctly trimmed with
organdie embroidery in all white or

in French gray, and dainty embroider-
les carrying two colors, such as the
palest of pink and blue shades, are
featured.
For underbodices satin and GeGr-
gette crepe are the most popular fab
RIGS, regardless of season or weather.
Either material may be used alone or
the two effectively combined.
The sketch illustrates dainty night
dress that may be made Of crepe de
chine or washable satin in white or
flesh color. Valenciennes lace and In
sertion edge the garment, and fur
ther trimming touch is given by mar
row ribbon, matching in color that

through handworked eyelets, group
ings Of small tucks breaking between
each ribbon.
Two widths Of satin or other ma
terial SO inches wide-the length, of
course, regulated by the figure for
which it is made-will be required for
the nightdress shown, and the gar

thing than they were last winter, and
as for fur, it is everywhere.
The use of fur on very sheer ma
terials is more pronounced this sea-
son than it was last. One Of the adj
vanced autumn models is of gray chif-
fon with foot-wide hem of seal. This
is only typical of the many frocks that
show fur on diaphanous fabrics.
Jersey cloth of various sorts APP
pears in fur trimmed form in some
of the between-season models that
are now available.
For evening, as everybody knows,
beaded fabrics of all sorts are much
in vogue, and bead embroidery, met
alix thread embroidery, metal buttons
and sequins are all used lavishly on
the new models.
Soutache braid stitched in intricate
designs is one of the trimming motifs
of street frocks, and some afternoon
gowns of chiffon show heavy Braid
ing as their sole trimming. This gives
somewhat the same contrast between a
heavy trimming and sheer fabric
that fur banding on chiffon and crepe
bring.

oraandie Dresses.

An excellent white organdie dress
has pink girdle and tiny border of
the pink linen binds the ruffies on the
skirt and sleeves and also binds the
collar and the cuffs. Another smart
combination is a light tan organdie
with a darker shade of linen, almost
a brown, for the bindings.
A dress of yellow organdie is
trimmed with innumerable little ruff
fes of itself. White grosgrain picot-
edged ribbon bands the cuffs and col
lar and crosses surplice fashion over
the blouse. This may also be made
in all white.
A quaint old-blue organdie frock is
tucked, frilled and embroidered in it's
own color. There are pink roses at
the waist line, black velvet streamers
and white organdie super-collar over
a collar Of blue organdie.

WASHING CREPE De CHINE
Fabric Must Be Handled in Manner
That Will Not Cause 1t
to Lose Color.

Today, when this fabric is so pOpu~
lar, it is well to know how to wash it
in a way that preserves it's beauty.
The yellow appearance Of washed
white crepe or crepe de chine which
is sometimes seen can be avoided by
knowledge of few simple rules.
Luke-warm water should be used,
with any pure, white soap that does
not contain too much I've. Profess
sional laundresses use a mixture of
salts of tartar and borax-half and
half in warm Water-but the soap
one is accustomed to use is just as
effective. Oily streaks at the neck
and wrists should be removed with
gasoline before washing. After q
good suds is made. dip the garment
in, and do not rub, but move it
about in the water so that the sudS
come in contact with all parts. Rinse
in several waters very thoroughly
so that not one particle of soap
suds is left on the garment. In each
case squeeze the water out; never
wiring 1t, or the material will have a
pulled appearance, even after ironing.
Also georgette crepe, or any thin
crepe. is liable to part or give way
on the crosswise strands if it is
handled roughly. Shake out of the
last rinsing water and wrap the gar
ment in a cloth until nearly dry. Then
iron the garment on the wrong side.
Usually the colors are fast, and with
this method a waist or an undergar-
ment will look as if it had just come
from the shop.
Flesh-colored crepe de chine, geor-
gette crepe, silk or batiste underwear
should be washed with little red ink
or bit of red ribbon or red crepe
paper in the final rinsing water. This
will preserve the flesh tint through
many launderings. Be sure that the
ink or dye is evenly distributed
through the water. or the material
will be streaked and spotted in an
ugly way.

NEWS AND NOTES OF FASHION
Use of Fur Even More Pronounced
Than 1t Was Last Season-Beaded
Fabrics and Braid.

The woman who had last winters
skirt cut a little longer than fashion
required so that it would be sure to do
service this winter, is in the same
boat with the woman who refrained
from fur trimming because she was
afraid it would be out of style this
season. Skirts are shorter if any

"Clean-up Week "
BY BEULAH PAULINE ELLIS, GRADE
VI. MAY Is, 1916.

Clean Up is good thing for Is
land Pond and a lots of things are
being done. But some should have
been done before.
Thursday, May II, the wind blew
hard and you could see paper flying
everywhere.
A law that should be passed is
shat no man or anyone should SPIT
on the streets, because some person
may have disease and after it mas
dried the germs will fly in the air
and people will inhale them and
catch diseases.
People should not throw tin cans
or any paper in the streets or yards,
because they do not smell or look
good and they cause diseases.
Fourth of July, the streets were
covered with fire crackers, paper
from kisses and most anything you
think of; | don't think the dirt was
cleaned up very much.
People ought to clean up their
yards if they have any, both front
and back. Take all the paper and
burn it up and take the stones that
are on the lawn and throw them
away or take and dump them in 6
place that is used for that purpose
think it looks bad to see a lawn
that is fixed up good then look neal
the steps or a fence, and see the
grass growing way Up. The people
neglect it because they think as long
as the lawn looks good that's all
that should be done.
know that you will think as | dc
about a fence that does not look
good. 1t can be made better by
having a quick running vine running
up it or have it painted.
Another thing, people should not
throw banana peelings on the street
1t causes diseases and people some
times fall and hurt themselves badly
See if you can't win the prize that
Mr.. Bosworth is offering or help win
it by cleaning up all you can.
See that your yard is clean, both
front and back.
Do not throw cans in the pond il
any of you live near there, or brooks
or rivers.
Well, | think | have said enough
But try and clean up all you can anC
encourage others.
