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 a regular treasure. There is a
long list of fascinating trinkets and
belongings that spring from this I'M
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
perfumed 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 filled with
cotton scented with sachet powder. A
half dozen of these little bags, each
having tiny gilt safety pin in its
edge, are tied together in a package
with a narrow ribbon. They may be
pinned in the dress or placed in glove,
handkerchief or veil boxes or with
stationery, pervading everything with
a delicate OdOr. Or the bags may be
cut heart shaped, pinned in row to
the edge of a narrow ribbon and
placed in little box to be used as
desired.
Very small powder puff bags are
made by sewing two plaques six inches

For some time cheerful and reaSsur-
fHg 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 a rumOr now, since
these lovely materials are demanded
by people who are foCking South in
greater numbers than ever and at much
earlier dates than heretofore to those
winter resorts that are filed with
smartly-dressed people. For them very
fine wolfe blOuses, mostly in all white
and made by hand, are already an as
sured success. Organdy proves popu-
lar in headwear, accessories and
,frocks, many resort hats featuring it
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 sitchery. 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
Ut is manufactured In all the light
shades as well as white, and these are
used alone and in combination with
white.

The sugar and water should make suf-
Icient sirup to soak the cubes well.
This tastes like marron-glace.
Orange JeIly.-This is a most con-
venient sweet to have on hand for var
ious desserts and makes fine medium
for such fruits as strawberry and
peach which refuse to jeH. The or
ange flavor accentuates the other flaw
ofS. 1t should be made in advance as
a week or two is needed for it to be-
come stiff enough. Remove the rind
from one large orange in quarters and
cut the rind into thin slices. Break
the orange into sections and slice thin.
Add the juice of half lemon and cut
all of the rind into thin pieces. Fol
low the same process with One-fourth
OF a grape fruit. Place all in large
bowl aud cover with cold water. Let
stand IN a cool place one day. At the
end Of the time turn into a saucepan
and add enough water to cover the
fruit. Simmer for an hour or more,
until the rinds can be pierced easily
with a straw. Keep the water at the
original level. When the rinds are ten
der, turn into a jelly bag and drain
without squeezing. Use equal meas
ures Of juice and sugar and cook until
the drops drop sharply from the spoon.
Continue cooking for three minutes,
then pour into glasses. Cover and set
aside to thiCken.

THE loose-hanging ample capelike

furs and fabrics during the winter
months made strong appeal to wom-
en- who dress smartly. They proved
very graceful and becoming and eX-
ceeded coats in elegance, even when
coats were made of the same mate

followed that wraps for wear at the
Southern resorts and for evening or

At the resorts capes in both quiet
and lively cOlOrs and of many kinds of
materials are noticeable on women
who dress with distinction. Some of

greater than any previous annual

b undoubtedly will be necessary for
many of the states TO postpone until
