PRETTY PETTIC0AT DESIGNS
New Fad Shows Garment Trimmed
With Sprigs of Paradise
Feathers.

Some fancy net and lace designs in
petticoats are deliberately trimmed
with vines of tiny roses and ribbon and
are very wide, being four to five, even
six yards, in width.
A new fad shows the petticoat
trimmed with sprigs of paradise feath-
ers in place Of the ordinary silk fringe.
The paradise frOnds are intersperSed
with tiny flowers that trim series OF
plated f1ounces.. The petticOat itself
is of silk mousseline.
A new petticoat is made Of two
shades of chiffon. The arrangement
suggests two separate garments hung
from one belt. There are two founces
that extend to the hips, so that there
is no chance of a thickening of the
hip line by superfuous layer OF even
so sheer fabric as chiffon.
Green, purple, wistaria, copenhagen,
coral, rose, gold, Belgian blue, etc., are
all good petticoat lcolors. Dark colors
are worn with plain tailored suits, but
are frequently bound or piped with a
bright color. Braces are added to some
petticoats. The best grade Of mercer
lied petticoats have similar stripe and
floral patterns to those of silk and are
made up in as great a variety of pat
terms.

RULES IN USE or MOURNING
Some information as to What Is Cor
rect When Somber Garb Is
Donned.

There are some arbitrary rules in
the use of mourning. For instance,
suede gloves are not properly worn in
first mourning. Glace kid are the cor
rect choice. On the other hand, all
ornaments such as pins, beads and
buckles should be dull jet, as the shiny
sort is not considered correct when in
mourning. Patent leather should not
be worn. The correct choice is dull
kid for the house and calfskin fer the
street. SO patent leather purses and
Bags are not in any sense correct for
mourning. Black velvet is anything
but suitable for mourning, and satin
falls under the same classification.
Although women in mourning do not
entertain formally and do not accept
social invitations during the first few
months of their mourning, they do
wear evening dresses, if they are ac-
customed to it. The gowns selected
for this should be made of dull, SOFT
materials such as charmeuse or crepe
de chine. They may properly be
trimmed with black net, tulle or ma
lines, dull Jet ornaments, or dull black
ribbon. The old idea of making mourn
ing stuffy and cumbersome with mucn
crepe is a thing of the past. 1t should
be as inconspicuous, quiet, comfortable
and becoming as possible.

~ MARY GRAHAM. NJ ; G mn

"Well," said Mr.. Giant, as he went
walking along the slushy woods with
his great, tall boots on, Il think Will
have to call on the Brownies and the
Gnomes today and see what they are
up to-"
He went along, splashing with his
enormous feet, and thinking to him

Slush Party
Now there are very few people or
animals who know just what slush
party is. They cannot imagine having
a party on a slushy day, but the little
Creatures of the Woods know how to
enjoy every minute, and, they love all
the days that come. Rain, slush, snow,
heat, cold-all sorts of weather and
all sorts of days-and on every one
they can find something to do.
Soon Mr.. Giant came across Witty
Witch taking walk. She had her
black cape, and great, tall black hat
on, and she carried a crooked stick
with knots in it. On the top Of the
stick was wooden Parrot.
"Good morning, Witty Witch" said
Mr.. Giant. Are you feeling like your
name today?"

An Important Hint.

In stamping a design on any mate
rial be sure that you place the design
straight with the grain Of the mate
rial. If no heed is paid TO the grain
in stamping round centerpieces your
design will appear crooked even II It is
true. One should also bear in nina
the grain of the goods when launder-
ing round centerpieces. They should
be placed on the board so that the
grain runs parallel with the edge
of the board, then the iron will follow
the course of the threads and the re-
suit will be a smooth, even center
piece.

PLACE FOR SEWING
When Woman Plans House She
Always Provides One.
If 1t Is Only Little Closet She Is
Going to Have It-Puts Living
Conveniences First of
Everything.

Some sort of a sewing room, no mat
ter how small, is usually to be found
somewhere La the plans when a house
is being built under the eye OF the
woman who is to live in it. It may be
hardly more than a closet with room
for One little table and a chair; the
sewing machine can be kept in the
hall, if only there is some place where
pasted cores and scraps of silk can
be shut out of sight between servings
without being packed away. But not
all houses are built under the eyes OF
the women who are to live in them,
or of anybody else who puts living
convenience first of everything. Plans
are still being drawn that spend many
square yards on front hall and then
cannot afford to give space to sew
ing room; the housekeeper who settles
down in the completed house must
take what she ran get and put her wits
to work to fit UP sewing corner.
Finding a place for a sewing cor
ner is in most cases a matter of find
ing corner in the living room. A
bedroom is an unsociable place to
spend an afternoon, and even in steam
heated houses it is not always very
warni. The living room, moreover, is
the one room that in the up-tO-date
neutrality-suspicious. style of house
planning profits by floor space that
has been saved from tiny dining room
and bedrooms. The corner must be
a well-lighted one, and if possible it
must have sewing screen; with these
two advantages, and rocking chair
that is just right for sewing it is al
most as good as a separate sewing
room.
The sewing screen must be a low
screen. The worker needs all the light
she can get, and she does not care to
be shut away from the rest Of the
room, or to help set the stage for an
eavesdropping scene. About thirty-two
inches has been found to be a good
height; sometimes there is small ia
BILE in the corner, and the screen is
little higher so as to hide the top OF the
table. If there is no table the screen
may be fitted with hinged drop covers
that unfold to form little low table at
each panel Of the screen. Cretonne
shirred into pocket over the lowest
third of each panel holds the unfinished
work, and wood crosspieces near the
top can be fitted with hooks for bags.
scissors, spools and all the rest of the
things that ought to be always at hand.

Eor one.Piece Erocks.

All the Chinese fabrics, such as tus-
sor, the new khaki-kool, silk, pongee
and Shantung, are among the most
acceptable for one-piece frocks and
suits. They are embroidered with
brilliant floss in primitive designs.
Symbolism in embroidery is being
strongly taken up by all those look
ing for novelty. 1t is easy to get
significant symbols from the Indian
writings ard from the old, ancient
and modern Chinese. The designers
go to the libraries to copy embroidery
motifs from old tablets and mummy
cases.

happy, and that I want some fun. I'm
on my way now to see If the Brownies
and Gnomes aren't feeling like a good
old-fashioned frolic in all this delicious
slush."
"The very thing wanted to do too"
said Mr.. Giant, and his voice was so
loud that from all around the GnOmes
and the Brownies kept appearing.
Hello Mr.. Giant" they shouted.
''Hello, Witty Witch, are you going
to tell us stOriesw
NO. said Witty Witch, ''there are
to be no stories until evening. We've
come to ask you to have a frolic! The
slush is SO NICE"
tits wonderful" said the Brownies
and Gnomes.
And they then began to play! Such
games as they had. They made houses
and castles and palaces, for the slushy
snow stuck together so well. Then
they threw snowballs and they all got
so wet! And trying to dodge the
snowballs, of course, they fell down in
the slush.
They laughed so hard and they kept
getting more soaked and more drench-
ed all the time, but how they loved it /!
''We only get slush at just this time
of year." said the Brownies.
"Well, We'll have a good deal more
Of it before the next few weeks are
over WITH" said Witty Witch.
''Thats good" said Mr.. Giant.
"Hurrah," said the Gnomes.
''I shall now bring on the Animals
Of Giant-land,," said Mr.. Giant.
"Ah," said Witty Witch, mo wonder
you wanted frolic today" For all
knew that Mr.. Giant had some very
finely trained Animals that were only
known to the Giant World, and to the
little Gnomes and Brownies becauSS
they are such friends of Mr.. Giant.
The procession started with a num-
Der of dogs who looked like Chinese
Chow Dogs, carrying in their mouths
the flag Of Giant-land. 1t is a large
yellow flag and on it is picture made
in black silk of Mr.. Giant in his top
boots.
Then came some Birds who flew back
wards. If they had not been little
above the Animals they certainly
would have bumped back and forth,
for they few backwards no matter
which way the Chow Dogs turned. And
the Dogs kept turning back too, for
most of the Animals walked backwards
and for those who didn't, the elbows
would sometimes have to go on
straight ahead.
There were the Squirrels who rode
on the backs of the little black Ponies.
The Squirrels are great friends OF Mr..
Giant, and the Ponies play around Mr..
Giants Cave and prance up his legs
to eat sugar out of his hands.
Mr.. Giant has little Zoo, all his
own, for he keeps it for his friends
the Brownies and Gnomes, and Witty
Witch talks to the Animals and gets
stories from them to tell to the little
Creatures of the Woods.
The Animals enjoyed the Slush too,
but when the procession was over, ev-
eryone marched back to Witty Witch's
Cave, where roaring fire, dry clothes
and a good hot supper was awaiting
them.
