The chaise Tongue offers an infinite
variety of choice in pillows. Black
satin chaise Tongue pillows are very
smart just now and these fit into the
color scheme of almost any boudoir.
The more individual the shape of a
pillow, the smarter and more modern
the effect. Flat, circular pillows with
shirred and corded edge-like the
fchaise Tongue pillow illustrated-are
the favorites just now and these pill
lows may be bought ready for cover
ing at moderate prices The model
pictured is a very luxurious affair, of
Du Barry rose satin with border of
applique roses. the latter made of rib
bon in shades of pale pink to glowing
American Beauty rose. The leaves
match the satin of the pillow and the
stems are worked with chenille. A
pillow of this type, covered with
French blue satin and trimmed with
gray and blue satin roses would be
equally attractive. Even without the
rose border, such a pillow would be
an addition to any boudoir and it
should be very easy to make the satin
cover. First two circles are cut, large
enough to cover the top and bottom
of the round cushion; then a straight
strip of satin is gathered thick1y over
heavy cords, and the shirred strip is
sewed to the upper and lower sec
tons of satin with stitches set close
to the cords. Two pillows of this sort
to be used one on top of the other,
will make an admirable floor pillow
for the living room. The coveric-
might be velour or heavy satin, Sc
lected to harmonic with the general
tone of the room. Sew the two pill
lows together with fiat faces adjoin-
ing; cut circular pieces for top and
bottom and basic them in place. Then
cut the strip for the shirred sides in
double the width needed for q single
pillow and run in three cords, one at
top and bottom of the strip and one
through the center. When the top
and bottom cords have been sewed in

A pretty sort of gift pillow is the

for that! But it makes a delightful
gift, if one can embroiderer my lady's
monogram and her favorite flower, on
it's sheer lawn cover. Filet or ctuny
lace will trim it appropriately and
there must be a removable slip Of
tinted satin to go under the lace and
embroidered lawn cover. Another ac-
ceptable gift is a travelling pillow for
Pullman or steamer chair. The cover,
of neutral toned pongee, will match
the envelope case in which the pillow
is carried.

handsome day bed of wicker uphols-

pillow is covered with rose pink satin

strips of gold lace, narrow gold gal

colored velvet is shirred on, beyond

a puff at the end of, the pillow; and

What To Do With the Apples

the family's taste served. It is very
easy to prepare fruit in this way
much easier than it is to make pickles
or jelly or preserves; and by the way,
you can de-hydrate potatoes, tomatoes
and various other products of your
garden as easily as you can apples.
Pare and core the apples; slice them
and put to soak for ten minutes in
sailed water-about a teaspoonful of
salt to quart of cold water. Then
spread out to, dry in a fiat pan, the
roasting or dripping" pan will do
very well and set the pan into warm
but not hot oven until the apples are
well dried out and leathery to- the
touch. If you keep the range fire over
night the oven, with open door, should
he just right for the apples. Set them
in when you go to bed and in the
morning they should be properly
dried. Store them in alright glass
jars or in paper bags, securely tied
and painted over with paraffine.

Fat Crowns Higher And Higher.
The trouble with most last years
hat crowns is that they are too low
and the vogue for ribbon around the
base of the crown this season is prov
idential-if one must economize-for
this ribbon band makes it possible to
raise last years crown by two or three
inches and thus present the hat with

rob the very tall crown of any sever
ity of Zine. Each fold is corded along
the top, and the folds are really one
continuous length of velvet, cut on
the bias and doubled over cord !;
and then applied round and round the
crown as straw braid is applied.

other bas relief effect from the same
milliner shows a coral colored parro-

Appliqued flowers on velvet hats
are another modish trimming notion.
You have only to roam through the
trimming department of large mil

many of the appliqued flowers are
going to be used. And they come in
the most interesting colors-soft
fawns and grays, rich blues, warm
coppery shades, fame and all the
tones in violet and plum. A charming
hat of black velvet has clusters of
mulberry colored velvet flowers ar
ranged in fiat groups around the base
of the crown, two flowers here, three
there, five a little further along. The
effect is unstudied but particularly
graceful. zs
Feathers Have Their Place.
Outstanding and outstanding feath-

millinery but this place cannot be def

ponds on the line of the brim, and
this placing of feather with relation
to the silhouette of the hat is one of
the most difficult tricks in millinery.
Only an artist, and an expert, can ac-
complish the feat successfully. Put

velvet hat seems the easiest thing
in the world-until you try it! The
wisest thing is to take your handsome

Another daring little tea hat which
only a pretty girl would venture to
wear, has pagoda like outline. This
hat is made of green velvet brocade
and wherever special emphasis seemed
to be necessary, its builder added a
chenille pompon. There are six sides
to the crown but not six separate
CORES as you might imagine. The
crown is really one big, circular piece
of brocade with six cords radiating
from the center. Each cord stops
|about three inches from the edge OF
the circle and chenille ball is sewed
on where it stops. Then the loose
velvet at the edge OF the circle, out
side the chenille balls, is turned under
and attached at the upper edge of
the velvet brim. This style of pagoda
hat has caught youthful feminine
fancy so strongly that already some
enthusiastic knitters are making skat-
ing caps in the same style, the hex
agonal crown being knitted in six sep
arate sections which will be sewed to-
gether and trimmed with worsted tas-
sells.
