The Revival of Patchwork

r T is the revival Of an idea, rather
than an object. since patchwork"
- originally meant the pieced quilts
Of our great-grandmothers day. But
the new application OF the old idea Is
very lovely. and a distinct asset to the
home keeper who delights in original
things and is an expert needlewoman.
This type of decoration has many
uses, especially in sleeping rooms, and
the linen or gingham patchwork Is
applied to ~unbleached muslin. When
II is a bedspread. the cloth is first
cut to the correct size and hem
stitched. It is then ready for the
patchwork, which may be in the same
general color scheme as the room It is
to adorn. Various motifs may be en-
pioyed-animals, birds, flowers, but
terf1ies, baskets or any clever combi-
nation of motifs that may appeal to
the one who is doing the work. And
frequently a border, in the outstand-
ing shade OF the color scheme, is
made AND applied. patchwork fashion.
Clever sets paay be worked ont, In

within the aw. Chiffon silk hose are
the fad of the moment-when one
can, afford them-and whether they
are lovelier than a heavier silk is
again a matter of preference. They
are best with the daintier styles of
footwear. especially evening shoes.
and hardly the thing for practical,
general wear. Certainly one would
not be Inconsistent enough to wear
chiffon hose with the brogue type Of
sports Oxford.
Hose for evening wear are exquis-
itely n and beautiful, with inserts
of lace and fine embroideries, and
they are the perfection of fiawless
weaving. Real laces-Duchess, Chan
tilly and Old Point-trim the love-
lest of these stockings, and the color
range Is wide. Hose for afternoon
and semi-formal wear take clockings

hand-embroidered motifs. most effect
i've against the sheer, ingram silk.
Glove silk hosiery shows two-toned
and self-toned stripes; there is a wide
range of patterns in this style, which
is slenderizing in its effect, If the
stripes are properly chosen. But
quite often the simple touch-of
clocking or hand works far more
effective than the more deliberately
conceived patterns.
Yet when all is said and done, plain
hose are pre-eminent in the world of
fashion, especially when they are
made of fine silk and fashioned ex-
pertly. No detail of the costume Is
more conspicuous than hosiery, espe-
cially If it be carelessly considered
and chosen with equal carelessness,
for no accessory so subtly reflects the
discriminating good taste Of the
Wearer.

styles and Materials temptation to
have q separate pair of shoes to COM
plement every costume. for such a
thing is possible.
Quite apart from the prevailing
fashion in weight and color, certain
rules obtain in the choice of hosiery,
and care should be exercised in
choosing that a perfect fitting stock
ing may be assured. Never before
has his been as possible as it is today
when plump and thin are provided
for in the "out size" and slender leg"
hose, now on the market. And If
ones ankles are inclined to the OPP
posite Of slenderness, there are full
fashioned hose that taper subtly, n
are, therefore, slenderizing. Better
a perfectly fitting stocking in a plain
color, than one deliberately clicked or
embroidered hat shows wrinkles at
the ankle. Moreover, a perfect fit
adds days to the life of ones hosiery,
since there is no strain on the silk at
any one particular place.
So many think that because the pre-
vailing skirt length is longer than it
has been for some seasons past, there
need be less attention given to hosiery,
but even IL this were so-which it most
emphatically Is not-the prevailing
modes in footwear would demand a
careful choice of the hose that COM
plement this fashion of dainty I'M
usualness. Sometimes there is so very
little to the shoe except sole, heel
and a few narrow straps, that the
stocking is quite as prominent as the
hoe and fredlIantIv II ia even moro
so, especially II 1t is not carefully con-
sidered in respect to fit and correct
coloring.
The really dominant characteristic
of the hosiery mode is color-just as
it is IN frocks, suits and millinery.
We have had the fashion Of light

hardly a tailored trimming. The
same might be said of the straw fabric
hat with satin band and long, droop-
Ing uncurled ostrich plume. for it is
a medium small model. with side
rolled brim and dome-shaped crown.
Its unique charm lies in the clever
placing of the trimming, and the I'M
expected uplift of the brim.
But nom could apply the word
tailored" to the picture model of
fancy straw, with it's dropping maline
~overbrim, its silken crown and its
cavalierly sweeping plume. Such a
hat is what one might call a special
person" hat, for 1t must frame the
face correctly, If it is to be success-
full. 1t has individuality, character
and a deal of elegance-what more
could a hat or its owner desire?
But just to prove the versatility of
fa~shion-there's the smart little tall
ored hat Of cashmere visca, worn with
a straight boxed jacket of the same
material. The coat itself-with its
simple lines and up-and-down row of
bullet buttons-demands just such a
hat, trig of line and Enthusiastically
trimmed. It is mushroom in its gen.
eral effect, and the facing is jade
green t%affeta. its color repeated in the
plumage of the twin birds that are It's
only decoration. What trotteur outfit
could be smarter?
Fashion Takes Other Ways To Charm
As spring days wane and summer
draws near, there Is a decided trend
toward lace, both as a material for
hats and a trimming. 1t Is a graceful
medium. and combines beautifully
with the seasons ~favorite trimmings,
besides being lovely in itself. Beads
appear on many of the hats, and
fancy pins and jet and jeweled orna-
ments are much in favor. Embroid-
cries Of wool, silk, soutache braid
on tailored fabric missionaries of
straw and ribbon-all these are seen,
and there Is 10 diTninution in the

hose-t1e various shades of gray and
beige, nude and the lighter tans-for
several seasons past, and this fashion
Is still with us, for it is possessed
OF a smartness that is indisputable. But
1t Is something of a puzzle to keep UP
with the rapid changes in the exact
shade that is, at the moment, "the
thing" so rapidly does fashionable
Womankind change her mind. Just
at present it is n of the new, light
shades of brown, called Cocoa" a
shade a tri1e darker than has hitherto
been worn. Only one thing can be
thought OF against this fashion OF
light hose with dark shoes-the light
er the color, the larger the apparent
size Of the ankle, hence It is really a
fitting fashion only for the woman
with trim, slender ankles.
Another up-to-the-minute fashion
is that of choosing a color that
matches or blends with the color
scheme of the costume. Such won
derful progress has been made in the
art of dying, these past few years,
that it is not only possible, but prob
able that the average frock may be
matched from Stock and when this
is not possible, a sample of the color
desired and a pair of white silk stock
ings in the hand of the dyer will
bring the desired color. But IL one
does not wish to go to the extra trou-
BILE and expense of having hose dyed
TO order. it is equally the vogue to
choose a shade that blends with the
general color scheme Of the frock or
suit-matching the dominant color
motif of the embroidery, or the trim
ming scheme, whatever 1t may be.
Shoe models that show two colors
may be complemented by either of
the two, preferably the shade that
best har1nonizes with the costume.
As summer advances there will be
