EASY AND ATTRACTIVE EDGE
ishing Touch on Centerpiece
or Towel.

At the crucial moment when you
have centerpiece or towel all finished
but the edge, you are stranded for want
of quickly worked crochet edge. Clip
this description of an easy and at
tractive edge for future use. 1t will
finish off a collar or towel or bit
Of lingerie or luncheon set. Try it!
Make single crochets rather closely
around the entire edge to be finished,
taking them over the turned-in hem of
the material or just through the edge
Of the goods. Then chain four. skip
ping four of the singles, and fasten
this chain of four in every fifth with a
single crochet stitch. After you have
gone around the edge In this manner
go over the chain of four with four
singles, then make two singles in next
loop, turn the work, chain four, catch
with single In middle of last loop, turn
and work over this with four singles,
finish the two singles In the other loop
and proceed us described.
You can vary this edge by making
doubles instead of singles with picots
ON the loops, or by making the loops
longer and using more singles or dou
bies to fill them.

Of the Style-of Georgstte
Crepe and Velvet.

The popularity Of the chemise frock,
which has made its debut this winter,
Is proved by the number of these
frocks which are to be seen In all sorts
of becoming variations. Here Is a
sketch which the girl who makes her
own clothes will Immediately clip for
future use, and If she cannot use 1t
herself, will pass it on to her dearest
friend.
1t offers an opportunity for charm
Ing combination of materials, as the
panels both front and back, as well as
the flowing sleeves, will be Of georg-
cite crepe, while the rest Of the frock
will be Of velvet. Fur bands are the
only trimming If you do not count the
tassels which finish the ends of the
narrow velvet sash.
This panel idea of the crepe is not
only graceful and novel, bat practical
for the reason that In the back II
saves the velvet from the very evident
marks which wrinkles when one sits
into velvet gown always leave.
This frock is cut In one piece In
true chemise style. 1t goes on over
the head, the left shoulder seam being
left open as far as the georgette

II prettier style that Is as practical as
this chemise frock?
1t Is safe to say that If thing is
good 1t may be talked about more
than once, so Ii will do no harm to
mention again that the Russian note
IL particularly strong this winter, es'
pecially In coats and suits. Indeed
to look at representative array o1
coat suits one might come to the con
clusion that Russian styles monopo!ize
things. The vogue of astrakhan trim
mings makes the Russian coat even
more pronounced, for this is Rus
sian fur, while the fact that the Rus
sian cossack turban more than often
tops such costume emphasizes still
further the Russian style invasion.

TWO WAYS or SAVING MONEY
English Method of Handling Bread at
the Table Is Worth Consideration
Home Baking.

In most English homes it Is the Gus
tom to put the loaf Of bread on the
table to be cut as needed, and every
family has it's more or less handsome
Iy carved bread board, matching the
handle of the good English steel bread
knife. Where this usage prevails, few
Ii any odd bits of bread find their way
back into the bread box or jar to be
overlooked, perchance, until they are
moldy themselves and have contami-
mated the rest OF the contents. Is not
this a practice worth considering, and
perhaps adopting in many home to-
day, when the outcry at the rise in the
bakers prices is SO general and so
loud?
An even more effective economy is
wrought whenever the housewife I'M
hertakes to bake her own bread in
stead of buying the product at the
great bakeries. Not only will each loaf
she makes cost distinctly less than she
has paid for the same weight, but II
she uses good -four, and especially
entire wheat flour, the amount of nu-
triton will be incomparably greater
han they have enjoyed before.
Home baking need have no terrOrs
Cor any woman of average intelligence,
especially IL she can afford one of the
patent bread kneaders which reduce
both time and effort to very mod.
crate amount.

How dear to our hearts is the

Who pays in advance at the
birth of each year,
Who lays down the money and
does it quite gladly,
And casts round the Office a halo

He never says: Stop it; | cannot
afford it,
I'm getting more magazines now

But always says: Send it; our
people all like it
The fact is we think it a help
and a need"
How welcome his check, when it

How it makes our pulse throb
makes our heart dance.
We outwardly thank him, we in.
