EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING
BY LAURA KRKMAN.

the rug is backed with another piece
Of canvas to prevent the work from
pulling out. Some workers give the
wrong side of the rug a thin coat Of
sizing, but this is not really neces-
sary If the rug is backed by another
piece Of canvas. Then, too, the glue
is apt to make the rug stiff and board
like 49,,
This kind Of rug admits wider
range Of design than almost any other
kind. One can draw an original pat
tern on the canvas before hooking
the loops Of cloth through it. then

would like to impress this fact upon
my readers however: Large patterns
are the only ones that are really
satisfactory. Small patterns, or those
with much delicacy Of detail, lose
their delicacy-and sometimes lose
their form.-in the making. Only large
masses work out with good effect.

Metal Lace on New Gowns.
BY ANNE RTTTENHOEsE.

In December there was recrudes-
cence of metallic lace for evening
frocks. 1t was not confined to the
young. The middle-aged found COM
fort in 1t. 1t was used as slip to
drop over a brightly colored lining
of chiffon, which has been revived
into the fashions. 1t was used as a
deep Spanish flounce on a silk frock,
it was combined with plain lace. un-
touched-that is, by metal embroid-
cry; it was built into one of those
long culrass bodices that seem to in
close the body from shoulder to hips
in a straightjacket
The fashion has grown as the
months rolled up. Now one expects
to see a bit of metal lace on every
kind of gay frock. The sketch shows
a simple evening frock for one who
has not yet reached forty years; its
principal decoration-its reason for
existence-is the deep fiounce Of
silver lace that drops from the long
waited bodice that is wrinkled across
the figure and held in place at the
underarm seams. -.
OF course, there must be a splash
of side drapery. 1t is provided by
the immense open loops of the coral
satin of which the bodice is built
These, strange to say, do not hang
down in gypsy points to the floor.
And the hem of the skirt is not un-
even, but f1ounces must not be terked
up and down like drapery, and that
is one of the reasons why they are often
more attractive on the young figure
than the settled one. The. latter
needs irregularity to keep her from
giving q barrel effect.
The dressmakers are also Offering
gold embroidered black lace as an
offset to the repeated usage OF silver
and they are putting gold thread
embroidery directly on the surface OF
silk and crepe frocks. The public
never likes gold as well as silver,
but there is a big enough public for
several metals.
Those who build children's frocks
have no hesitancy in borrowing
plumage from the grown-ups, so
, they have taken up silver lace for
tiny party frocks. 1t is fine. not
coarse, and Of narrow width. It is
allied to chiffon or thin crepe. The
milliners for children have adopted
the metal for odd little turbans of
velvet and faille, making kind OF
Charlotte Corday f1ounce about the
face, or plastering band of the lace
back against the high-fiuted crown.
Because Of the waistcoat fashion,
which grows in power as the chance
to wear tailored suits Is better, there
is an effort to make ornate waist
coats Of silver cloth serve here as
they do in Paris. They fasten high
over the chest, are double-brsasted'
fastened with large silver buttons
and run well down over the skirt In
the nature Of an overblouse. Some
times they have revers OF cloth to
correspond with tho suit, and II they
are worn under a cape. they may
have fevers of bright-colored broad
cloth or kasha duvetyne. which is
much softer than kasha cloth. II

tion Of being ousted by another.

tell us to be happy. And, so far, we
are.
WHETHER we work from caution
" or procrastination in accepting
French DEGREES in clothes is not
subject to discuss here. The fact Is
that we generally take from six to
twelve months to accept something
that Paris sponsors. We are getting
into ankle-Iength skirts now, we are
looking with more than tolerance
upon the jumper blouse which hugs
the hips and does not fare. We are
talking much Of side drapery for gen.
eral acceptance instead of straight
lines. All these fashions were estab-
lished some time ago among the fash
ionable set Of dreasmakers and the
speciality shops, while the large shops
are quite elastic, which is right. Sec
ing that they must serve q far wider
public, SO they did not make strong
bid for any direct change.
It appears at the present moment
that the fabric known as silk tricot.
of which there are many weaves un-
der various names will have a large
number of admirers. The dressmak-
ers are making up ingenious frocks
in it to catch the eye and. counting
on the extremes Of heat and moisture
we have to face in this healthy and
varying climate. there is the earmark
Of success on such apparel.
Extraordinary clothes are featured
in this material. No one keeps to the
gray and beige tones. There Is q

The pieces OF velvet--or silk will

teur's choice Of using this popular

used to achieve a wide and
full effect.
To clinch this argument one has
only to observe the fabrics offered
as fashionable and accepted as desir-
able by the public. There is kasha,
the French weave which has come
into much prominence here after six
months of trial by Paris and London:
there is the recrudescence of chiffon
and of satin, the exploitation of the
Rodier blistered surfaces which have
spread to cotton from silk. the con-
tinuance Of crepe with a plain or a
pebbled surface. the preference given
to soft homespun weaves for the pre-

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Townsend branch of the
Richmond Community Service for the
giving of great race pageant on
Thursday evening, June Is, at the Col
iseum. The theme of the pageant is
historical and therefore educational as
we'll as entertaining. The principals
in the cast comprise some of the most
representative colored citizens in Rich
mond and no pains are being spared
TO make the production one of the
finest ever given in the city.
The same pageant was produced by
Dayton Community Service last year
in Memorial hall before an audience
of LOO persons of both races and
achieved a remarkable success. One of
the outstanding features of the page

full negro spirituals, eliminating in a

be used. The rehearsals of the COM
