Geraldine Farrar once more
achieves the impossible and adds an.
other leaf to her laurel crown by
hitting upon plan of converting the
tops of silk stockings into shirts for
Belgian babies. Certainly nobody ever
before associated the idea of econo-
my with the splendid Farrar. But it
| is in the nature of genius to do well
whatever it undertakes. 1t takes a
pair of hose to make a baby's shirt.
/ Any woman can see that when the
stockings are slit and sewed together
their curves will be perfectly adapted
to the lines of an infants body. And
| just as there are all sizes of babies
and all kinds of weather, so stock
| ings of all sizes and colors and tex
| ture make suitable material for an in
fant's first and most important gar
ment. Geraldine Farrar's sugges-
| ton is practicable in every home
blessed with a baby 1t is so sensi-
BILE and economical that it may prove
a worthy rival of woman's popular
MISUNDERSTANDING socks for sol
diers.

Flanders, and dropped it into the
delicate mesh of the spiders spin
ming. A young girl sat in the forest
dreamily watching the spider at his
work and the wind at its play until
the picture fixed itself in her mind,
and Belgian lace took a visionary
form. Rousing from her dreams, the
peasant girl went to her home, and
taking her pillow with its coarse
slip, carefully transfxed the delicate
web upon it and then, says a writer
in Forbes Magazine, blending the
fanciful tale into prosaic facts, the
girl procured some fine linen thread
traced with pins upon another pillow
the intricate design and copied it with
infinite patience. The news of her
accomplishment spread abroad. She
became famous throughout Flanders
Lace making became the chief indus
try of many Belgian towns. Women
wore these priceless designs in their
homes. Beside the windows they sat
