Endless ingenuity and small pieces
or bits and scraps of silk or ribbons
appear to be the most valuable assets
of those who love to do fancy work
and almost every woman delights in
making pretty things. The uses that
the Ingenious find for the odds and
ends of silk and velvet that accumu-
late in the scrap bag, make a scrap
bag regular treasure. There Is Il
long list of fascinating trinkets and
belongings that spring from this un-
pretentious source, most of them per-
sonal things dear to dainty women.
Gold lace, gold net, lingerie lace,
made silk flowers and fruits are the
elegancies that join forces with silken
stuffs to fashion all these trinkets and
perfuped powders scent many of
them.
Starting out with the simplest and
smallest, there are little sachet bags.
two or three inches square, made of
bright colored ribbon and filed with

FOR some time cneerful and reassur-
ing rumors have been floating about,
like soft, spring breezes, that there
is to be a return to fine, sheer cottons
for blouses and dresses next spring.
This is more than rumor now, since
these lovely materials are demanded
by people who are flocking South in
greater numbers than ever and at much
earlier dates than heretofore to those
winter resorts that are filled with
smartly-dressed people. For them very
fine voile blouses. mostly in all wnite
and made by hand, are already an as
sured success. Organdy proves popu-
lar In headwenr, accessories ana
frocks, many resort hats featuring 1t
both in the body of the hat and In the
trimmings.
All gentlewomen will welcome the
return of simple dresses and blouses,
beautifully made and adorned with old
time hand stitchery. There Is re
finement about them not exceeded by
even the sheerest silk weaves. and the
crispness OF organdy makes possible
certain effects In trimming that can
not be duplicated by other materials.

Iis my Shouiu tuht a
vow to refrain from indulgence in
strong drink for whole year.
The practice of beginning the new
year with good resolutions, however,
is very, very old. The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common to many peoples.
Time was when the New Years
resolution was solemn affair, marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example, the japanese, 300 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmities were ended
under penalty of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished;
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away in exchange for new In the
belief that the assumption of new
conscience was complete only with the
assumption of new covering for the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time of sol
emn renunciation of all follies and an
amendment for the future. In the days
of the Pharaohs the Egyptians sym
bolized their publication with elabor-
ate baths and fasting; the Persinns
and Phoenicians greeted the New Year
with prayer to the heather images and
with fagellations.
With the passing of the centuries old
New Years vows have lost their for
NAL character. Turning over new
leaf" is now matter of Individual
and not national concern. Swearing
orr is even favorite jest with the
humorist and cartoonist.
Nevertheless, the modern man is
more sensitive to the appeal of the
New Year than he shows in public.
What makes the New Year Is the new
ness of life that human nature brings
into it. 1t is New Year to everybody
according as everybody tries to live
over again, and pushes forward and
turns plan to action and discourage
ment to hope People rely too much
on resolutions to make year new.
