METAL AND COTTON THREAD
Combination Is Effective and Affords
Charming Variations; Suggestions
for the NeedIeWonan.

There is an increasing vogue for
combining metal thread with silk, wool,
or cotton embroidery. It is tremen-
dously effective and capable of such
charming variations. Here are some
suggestions for the needleworker who
is interested in the unusual.
Say, suppose, you have some ''solid"
work in silk, cotton or WOOL You don't
know how very effective it can be made
by an outlining in either gold or silver
thread. The idea can De further car
ried out by adding French knot cen
ters to the flowers of the same.
Where the embroidery is done en-
tirely in outline, and particularly if it
be the heavy wool or cotton kind,
COUGHING in metal is a mighty success
full addition. In fact, if the wool or
cotton embroidery isn't already done,
try couching it on with the metallic
stuff and just see if it isn't vastly
more decorative.
Another suggestion for introducing
the metal is to whip stitch" the other
thread with it. Wool whipped on the
bias, spiral effect is the most fascinat-
ing thing ever.

Latticework of Gold.

Along with other revivals, by the
way. there comes into the fashions q
plentiful use Of the old quilting stitch
done in gold thread. 1t is nothing but
simple latticework, and can be done
by an amateur; but 1t is vastly eff
fective. 1t has usurped the place of
embroidery of a more lavish and bril-
liant type, but gown loses nothing in
the exchange. Those who are the
apostles of simplicity prefer it. Dark
satin frocks are enhanced by it, and
also more practical ones of serge. vel.
veteen and velours. The metal thread
must be furnished and dull brilliancy
is too glaring. 1t. as fashion, should
suggest itself Immediately to a woman

CHIC DANCE DRESS
Frock May Be Made of White
Chiffon or Other Material.
Garment Is Trimmed Very Simply
With Rows of Inch-Wide Glossy
Ribbon In Color.

The little dance dress shown in the
sketch may be made of white chiffon,
net georgette or silk tissue, and it is
trimmed very simply with rows of
tnch-wide glossy ribbon in color. Rain
bow colors may be selected for the rib
bon, two or three of these dainty pale
shades being used with very good eff
feet. If desired, the fabric of the
gown may also be in color, and the
frock be a genuine rainbow affair.
A foundation of sheer silk should be
used for the dress, and it may be made
a Slipover by running an elastic in at
the wafstline. Two or three ribbon
straps hold it in place over the shoul-
der, and ribbon girdle with long ends
circles the waist.
A dress of this kind is easy to- make
and may be very inexpensive. Spend
ing a great deal of money on a dance
or evening dress is never really neces-
sary and at present it is poor tasse.
There will be few formal evening
functions during the coming winter
season, and the simple dances sched-
uled call for simple costurnirg.
An allOver lace dress is always
pretty, and many lace dresses are, be-
ing featured for the coming season.
Extreme simplicity is the rule in de-
signing these frocks. Frequently the
bodice is merely a wide girdle of silk
or satin topped by frill or yoke OF
lace and with short lace sleeves. The
skirt may be q single length of lace
or it may be formed of two or three
lace founces. A ribbon sash or girdlt
finishes the dress.
Ribbon trimming is extremely pop
1lar this season. Plain bands of rib
)on are used on frocks for both day

bands Of ermine. There is sash o
aeparate waists in lieu of SIS one
piece dress, or dress waist worn with
suit may be substituted for an eve
ming dress, or a winter coat may be
worn for three seasons, or an evening
dress for three or four years. In view
oil the range of choice, it appears that
A woman may reasonably be expected
to secure outside clothing for o good
appearance ct an expenditure of from
| $40 to $T5.
"As regards articles of dress other
than outside clothing, the necessary
expenditures would be distributed
roughly as follows: Hats, $40 to SIS
shoes. $12 to S17; gloves, $3.50 to $5 ;
stockings, So TO 81; corsets, 50 to $5 /;
underwear, $5 to $40; and miscella-
neous, approximately $40. Allowing for
individual variation in prices and
choice, this means an annual expendi-
.ure OF from $50 to $50 for these ar.
tlcles, which as a rule have TO be re-
placed each year.
Combining these two amounts-out
side clothing $40 to SIS, and Other
articles of dress $50 to $6O-the tota
yearly expenditure would range from
$12O to S1S5, averaging approximately
say, $125."
True, these are wage-earning won
en-, the story points out; but it add
that they are as well dressed as tn,
immense majority Of women who hav,
no more, and often not nearly as mucl

Can You Dress
On $125 a Year?

New York.-Since the days of the
Roosevelt administration in Washing
ton depressing statements have come
from the social center anent the cost
of being well dressed. Depressing for
the reason that they were so appall-
ingiy low. Nothing so produces dis
couragement in humans, writes Il fash
ion authority, as to be told that they
should and can accomplish a desired
result on a sum of money that they
consider almost too small for the pre-
llminaries.
You as a woman know that full well.
What would reduce you to greater rage
or feeling of utter hopelessness than
to be told by the head of the family
of the amazing achievements of an
other woman in regard to money, to
clothes, and to food?
You have done your best with your
allowance, of that you are sure. Such
is the feeling that surges in every
woman's mind and heart when Wash
ington informs US, infrequently, what
can be done In our own chosen line of
work at slight expenditure of money.
Now, when Washington-through
the bureau of labor statistics, not
through the White Housewives as
the average cost of being well dressed
the following figures, one feels like
giving up the whole problem of how to
look well on little. The total yearly
allowance for dress of these women
who make a smart appearance (the
phrase belongs with the statistics) is
$125a year. Can you do it?
Here Are the Figures.
Outside clothing (suits, coats, sweat
ers, dresses, waists. dress skirts),
$57.5S; hats, $11.59; shoes, $14.20
gloves, 1892; stockings, $5.53; corsets,
S3.41; underwear, Sis, and miscel-
laneous, $14.27.
'As regards external clothing, it
would appear that the average wage
earning woman who is well dressed
usually chooses these items of her
wardrobe from the following priced
articles: Suit or coat ALTERNATE years.
$25 to $50; shirtwaists, So to SIS; one
piece dress, SIS; wool skirt, S5 to $40
summer skirts, SO to S5; party dress
(worn for two years), $25.
IF close economy is necessary, a
skirt at about So may be worn with

chosen more than other fabrics for
those frocks.
Chiffon itself has taken a second or
third place, and dyed lace is pushed
forward as a substitute. Even cream
lace is revived for entire frocks, but
it does not have the prestige of gray
or brown. Both these colors are draped
over tulle or satin in the same or
contrasting color.
The odd feature about this revival
of an old, old style of fastening is that
the exclusive tailors have applied it to
coats. In that touch we get something
novel. Jackets of peltry are fash
ioned in this manner, and there are
combinations of velours and soft fur
that are put together like cuirass
blouse, in very loose fashion, to go
with skirts of the cloth, but they rank
as coats and not blouses.
Heavy furs are worn that give suffi-
cient protection in the open. And this
verdict for peltry placed on peltry
pleases the public. Some women look
like pack-r1ules with an overload.

not usually fastened close against the
