The success of tilet crochet depends
done with an even tension. The
meShes must be square and even, and
the design must be carefully developed.
To bring out the design in a lace
like effect that is as filmy as possible
a fine thread is essential. This will
make the work smaller, of course,
than when a heavy thread IS used.
but 1t also reveals the beauty of the
work to advantage.
Filet crochet is one of the rather
substantial laces. There are no long
strands of chain stitch connecting mo-
tits to set them off with greater dis
tinctness. We find these in other
laces, and they add much TO the filmi-
ness of the texture. We do not have
motifs accented in any way other than
by the solid post stitch. You will re-
member that each division of squares
in filet crochet is formed by what some
designers call double crochet stitch
tdCl, or which other designers term
triple Stitch-ttr or trc), which form
posts" By whichever name they are
called, the thread is thrown over the
needle but once, and that is just before
the needle with a loop already on 1t
is put through the two strands of the
stitch in the previous row. The thread
caught up is drawn through two loops,
then caught up again and drawn
through two more. leaving one loop on
the crochet needle. Filling in the
space with extra stitches between
posts in a square makes them solid
and is the method of developing de
signs. 1t is the closeness of the
stitches and the evenness of them in
the solid work that brings out the
beauty of patterns in contrast to the
more open squares.
The very sturdiness Of filet crochet

My Neighbor Says:

When putting coats away for
the Summer III long moth
proof bag, hang the coat on a
hanger then tie a piece of rope
the length of the bag to the top
of the coat hanger and pull the
rope through the top of the bag
until the handle of the hanger
comes out of the small hole at
top.
Always keep the door of the
ice chamber in your refrigerator
closed tightly. Opening the door
of the chamber where ice is
kept to put in milk, butter, etc,
causes rapid melting of ice and
carries d rush of warm air into
the other compartments, thus
raising the temperature.
Don't pack dishes into the
dishpan before washing them.
Silver and glass should first be
washed, then china. Packing all
dishes into the dishpan at the
same time makes it difficult to
wash dishes as they should be
washed and is frequently the
reason for handleless cups.
When using paint remover
don't be too anxious to have it
remove paint quickly. Apply
with a brush and give it time
to do its work. When the paint
forms in "a putty-like mass re-
move it with a knife.
Keep a small pair of scissors

HISTORY of Dour Same
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOwLAN.
WALLER
RACIAL ORIGlN-Engish.
SOURCE-PersonaI description.

You might easily assume that, since
the Taylors were originally tailors, the
Ropers makers of rope, the Cutters
makers of cutlery, the WheelerS
makers of wheels and the PorterS
carriers of burdens or the keepers of
gates or ports, the Walters were orig
inally makes of walls.
AS it happens, however, the family
name of Waller is not evolved from a
surname that was ever descriptive of
a trade or occupation. In the medieval
ages the builders of walls might have
been known as maSonS or stone cut
ters or filters. but they were not
known as walters
The word waller" is Of Anglo-SaXon
origin, and in the speech of this race,
prior to the invasion of the Normans
and for some time subsequent to the
amalgamation of tongues on which
modern English is founded, it meant
foreigner" or stranger
Thus, at a period when the rapidly
growing and shifting population made
necessary a surname in addition to the
given name, it was quite natural that
a stranger settling in a given com
munity would be known as alfred the
Stranger" or Alfred Waller. In the
majority of cases, perhaps, 1t did not
stick. But in some it did. and long
enough to become a family name, its
original descriptive meaning being lost
sight Of in time.

is so unusually busy that it makes a

Certainly Santos did not look so en-

which stretch away under heavy

action seems TO have taken place, and
the greater becomes the popularity Of
flower trimming the surer some women
seem TO be that they want plumage
of some sort on their hats.
The aigrette and the osprey still
play a significant role in France
where these bits of plumage are al
lowed. Some women like to wear them
for the same reason that they like to
wear diamonds, because every one
knows that they cost a good deal OF
money. You may go to one OF the
foremost milliners in Paris and spend
an absurdly high price for a little hat
trimmed only with a rose or two or a
bow of ribbon, and no one but the
real expert who sees YOU wear that
hat will suspect its high price. With
osprey and aigrettes it is different. Al
most any one knows they require
large bank account.
There are Americans who share this
fondness for these feathers. or the
nearest approach they can legally go
to them. And really there is some
thing smart this season, when flower
trimmed hats are legion. in the sight
of a black hat trimmed with white
feathers made To initiate the forbidden
and most costly plumage.
OF course, the imitation is never
perfect. but the effect is the same.
The sketch shows a very good-lookinG
hat of black straw, faced with white
and trimmed with a large ornament
of white ostrich to initiate aigrette.
Sometimes this distinguished looking
aigretted ostrich, as the milliners call
it, is in black on black hats.
Peacock is likewise used to replace
aigrettes. Burnt peacock-and even
burnt goose-are used In black against
black hats with excellent effect.
