These unusual handkerchiefs are
carried in the tiny pocket of jumper,
or In a handbag. There are handker-
chiefs to match, or to correspond with
every kind of dress. every popular
pattern in material and every up-to-
date colering. There are pictures
more than designs on the new hand

Trousseau Lingerie.
What would women of a few gen
erations ago have thought of the fash
ionable modern girls lingerie outfit?
Gone are heavy combinations and vol
luminous petticoats. In their place
are dainty gossamer garments which
look as if they had been woven in
fairyland. A well known trousseau

must reduce her underwear to a mini.

sary line" She prescribed that the
body belt or corset should be worn
next to the skin. then silk knickers,
and finally we'll tailored and very
abbreviated cami-petticoat of silk or
georgette, either embroidered or
trimmed with lace or net. For eve
ming wear she showed models made en-
tirely of black lace. The average girl
however, does not go to fashion eX-
tremes, but her underwear is inva-
riably dainty. and she avails herself
of the many beautiful and often frag
lie materials which are manufactured
exclusively for making lingerie.
Variety in lingerie trimming is al
ways welcome and scalloped tucks
make an unusual. dainty and simple
Ornamentation which looks we'll on
either cotton or silk materials.
TO make the scallops, fold your

To Cut Thin Goods.
Before cutting ruffies and bindings
from organdy or other transparent
material. place the goods to be cut
over another piece of goods having a
distinct stripe or check. The upper
cloth can then be cut straight with
very little trouble. Bias strips can
also be cut in the same way, placing
The bias of the material to be cut
lengthwise over the striped founda-
ton. This is d great time-saver.
Ribbon Bows.
Considerable Importance is given to
ribbon bows this season. To large
extent they take the place of faSten-
ings on smart suits. The. new cross
over suit coat invariably fastens on
one hip with q bow, which may be
either a narrow tie of the material
or an enormous billowy arrangement
of handsome satin ribbons. Bows are
placed here and there In all kinds of
unexpected places. They attain aHlaz-
ing proportions on evening gowns.
These gigantic bows, arranged at the
back of gown, subtly introduce a
new outline which is reminiscent of
the hustle. Few women would accept
the hustle were it brought back in it's
old form, but its counterpart, being
so inSeniously applied to gowns which
bear very little resemblance to the old
style in other respects. is accepted.

Of ribbon which hangs from the front
of the WalStline on evening gowns.
Day dresses of pleated crepe are
sometimes girdled with gauze ribbons
of many colors, which are tied in front
in soft bows and allowed to float down
the gown. A feature of silk eoatees
are the shoIlder hows and streamers
of velvet.
Children's Dresses.
There is charming new durable
material in cotton patterned with tiny
pictures illustrating nursery rhymes
in color. This is used for quaint little
house rompers, which, without sleeves
are a combination of overall and
knickers. A loose body part is joined
to full elastic-threaded knickerss
