are noticeable for their peculiar
blending Of white, gray and black

elaborate 'design, reproduced In fine
Unen stitch Intersected with .eyelets, Is
entirely outlined with black laoe thread
1 scarcely visible at the back, while In .
' another, specimen, with silvery touoh,
...wheat ears are defined with a aeries of

athe use of cretonne In this way is an f
. old-istory; but nowt upholstering
fabrics of all, sorts, though always
the figured ones, are being used as
bowa and scarfs on hats, and even as
, separate cutrOut flowers. As $hey

Pasting Feathers
rrHOSB of us who have hats trimmed r
- I with the bird wings consisting
- of innumerable littia 7, ieathera
something like fishes' scales know how
these drop off and what ah Unpleasantly
bald appearance they give to our bes
' hat trimmings. One woman has solved
the problem by pasting them on as they '
come off. They were black la her case,
and. so that tha paste she used should
not show, she pasted thent on the back
- with library paste on which Bhe dropped
black ink and let It soak in. This same
plan can be followed with any Color
Ink U match tha feather, aven the Iridescent-feathers
(a - these often . are)
belpg usually easyS to match. i
Another plan is te use oourt-plastef,
although this Is .possible only with black-'
and white ieathera.;, .Tha. plaster. .must
.be cut In little strips and fastened In
back to the cloth foundation, for feath-
; ers of this sort .are always what Is
called "made," that Is. stitched on to a

Play Aprons-
NOVEL, idea la play aprons for
children, ' which will keep : them
busy through much of a rainy
A
day, Is to make them of red or other
bright-colored cambrlo and paste upon '
them pictures representing nnrsery
rhymes, etc. .Sometime these pictures
can be bought printed on fabric, which
can, then be made up Into aprons; or'
they can be fastened upon the 'cambrlo
by means of deealcomatjlas. If each
child has two or three "Mory aprona"
of this sort, made so as. to covr the
dress all over, there will be peace in the
nursery on. stormy days. ; ,
In an work of this aort It Is really
Important to remember the nerves of
the sensitive child, and hot to Imprint
pictures, such as some of those from
'Little Red Rldlnyhood" or "Blue
beard," that will frighten Instead of -amuse
the lfttla one.
Marking Linen
MEN using' marking Ink to Pt .
lmih, eic, on linen, do your
lean pencil, and then use the marking
ink over this work. The pencil will pre
vent the Ink from .spreading and glylng
the linen a blotted appearance
BibEffect. Extension
MOST bf the new gowns show the
bib effect hi the bodice; many ot
them show also the peplum. Which
has In some cases oeept around front
tJ become a stomacher. Now with the
advance fall styles comes the combina
tion of these two In a dlamond-ahaped -plaque
extending from the bust And
continuing down tho front of tha skirt,
until It narrows oft In a point at or
about the knees. This combined bib and
stomacher, as It may be ; called, Is
usually elaborately braided with sou
tache, or embroidered in peasant effect
Sometimes, especially In evening gowns,
shoulder atraps and tunlo edge are simi
larly . braided or embroidered so as to
give a unified effect to the whole eos
. tumo. ,
There Is. of course, no reaoa why this ;..
'trimming should, be diamond-shaped, al
though, It usually takes ( that form) It
-may -approaoh In shape the continued
front panel effect, as seen In Russian
blouso Suits. It Is very pretty, however,
and auggests a plan for tha home'
needlewbrker who has a last year's
evening dress to make over,- where, per-
'haps, spots or faded places In the dell
oate fabric must be concealed. '
raiding on Coats

collar, - which Is so1 popular, a
false-collar of stitching, or more usually
of braiding. Tho typical coat -of .this"'
sort waa seen recently, a loose hltf
length Jacket, with Y-ehapea vest, aallor
collar finished by a silk tie. and a row
of narrow self-colored braiding, about
five inches below, following the collar .
In outline. The cuffs were finished in '
the same' way. .
The great number of ruffles wJulch hav
appeared as modifications of The tunic
effect - seems to have - suggested this
style, which give a becoming effeot of
height to young girls and short woman.
Soutache or very narrow flat braid Is-,
used. . Sometime it reappear on. the
skirt below the knees
It Is a good way - to make last autumn's-
suit seem inodish again, and to
conepal any necessary lengthening .for
