NOW that summer ia here and the
coolness of -washable accesso
ries In demand, I tm glad to
offer you a' design for a handbag that
can be embroidered and punched to
your heart's content, and worn with
a satisfaction that all feminine heart
know. This handbag can be in white,
tan or in the fabrlo to match your
dress; and since It, requires so tittle ma
terial and a very email amount of work,
I know that you will enjoy making
something that combines the practical
with the beautiful.
The front and back are shown and
there is put is for good measure a lit
tle cardcase or a case for bills. The dash
ed lines are for seams, and if you wish
you can eliminate the seam at the lower
edge by folding the goods along this
line. Transferring should be done so
that the flap will have the embroidery,
on top when the bag is closed by either
button and buttonhole or a patent snap
that can be bought at the notion coun
ter of a department store. The little
sketch shows the bag when completed.
Work the design In solid stitch after
padding the flowers with darning cot
ton. The stem can be done In- outline
stitch or fine stem stitch. After you
have done the embroidery, the punched
work can be attempted. This Is an old
favorite and an easy way to the dec
orative end. It Is done by punching
a coarse needle through the material
at the dots. The thread is passed from
story that I could tell is endless. The
green and blue shades are effective.
Orange and tan on tan linen always
give a wonderfully bright result; the
one dot to another on the right side, and outlining of black gives a fin finish
when taking it to the dot below the
needle is taken on a slanting line un
derneath. The frequent punching
through the goods makes the open ef
fect that resembles Mexican . drawn
work. Be, sure not to pull the goods.
The punching will do the work.
When working the top the same
method Is taken. The contrast of the
solid and the punched work is very ef
fective. After padding the scallops of
the edge, work in buttonhole stitch as
usual. The little case should have a
lining the same slse as the top, and
the outer edges should be whipped
together In a neat line. The embroid
ered flap can be single and worked be
fore the whipping is done. It can be
dosed over the case by a clasp or by
a washable crocheted button and a
loop. .
The set is completed by adding a
handle of cord to the large bag and
providing fasteners for the top. A
lining of washable silk In color can
be made if you wish a touch of color.
When you consider the possibilities
of color on white or tan linen, the
to any color. Indeed, the convenience
and beauty of this bag are too great
to ignore, and the hour or two spent
on the making will be mny times
repaid. V
If you have no use for a handbag, do
not discard this design, for it can be
put to many 'other uses. The little
motifs can be placed on the tops of
pincushions, small dollies, other shaped
bags and on the ends of towels,
scarfs and tray covers. Many articles
are raised to a plane of distinction by
having a little bit of handwork added
to them. It is such a profitable way
to spend a few minutes each day that I
am surprised to find in many homes
an absence of the hand embroidery
that can never be replaced! by other
work. If you get the habit of having
an embroidery bag, with a piece of
work in the process of; embroidering,
you will unconsciously add to that val
uable linen chest. Try doing a little
work of this kind each day as a rest
from the other work of the home or
business world. I know that you will
profit by the plan.

Coiffure Ornaments
OP COURSES you are dancing.
Everybody is; and if you attend all
the summer dances you will re
quire a varied assortment of coiffure or
naments. -
The Grecian coiffure is in high- favor
at present, so if you wear your tresses
in this manner, ornament them with a
Grecian fillet. The handsomest ones are
fashioned of pearls. In the needlework
department of any shop you can pur
chase pearl beads of all sizes. These
are strung on strands of very fine wire
of sufficient length to cross over the top
of the "head to the ears. At the polnt
where the strands are Joined attach a
flat tassel fashioned of smaller pearl
beads, which will hang over the ears.
Another ornament can be fashioned
by Joining four or five strands of ip earls
to form a band long enough to encircle
the head. This Is worn low over the

Double-Duty Garment
FOR the infant yet In long clothes
the caped coat has been in fash
ion for some time. There will be
times, howeveg when the caped coat
will be too heavy and a lighter i wrap
will be needed. If the cape is made
separate from the coat and simply
Joined, to It with buttons and button
holes, it is an easy matter to take them
apart and let baby wear either the cape
or the coat - alone. Do not make the
cape too short, or It will not be quite
the right thing .-or warm enough to .
wear without the coat. A pretty fash
ion is to scallop and buttonhole the
edges of the cape with white sUk. A
spray or two of silk flowers may be
embroidered upon the fronts of the
cape; but it is really best to cling to'
the simplicity of the scalloping. When
the little baby outgrows the coat. It wlU
still, in all probability, be able to wear
the cape.

BUREAU SCARFS
THIS bureau must be covered. And
the scarf in its infinite variety
comes to the rescue. It can be
very Inexpensive and again as ornate
and costly as your purse can buy. It
can be used in its sheer glory or over
the colored slip that will throw into re
lief the open work or embroidery of the
decoration. At any rate, the bureau -scarf
should reflect the decoration of
the room in which it is to be used; and
if you can make the scarf Instead' of
buying it, the end will be very much
more satisfactory.
If you have curtains of art scrim at
the windows, reserve two or three yards
for the covers and cut the strips to fit
the bureau and the chiffonier. At the
ends of these covers place bands of the
floral borders, and. if any motifs are
left, cut them out and applique them on
the center of the covers to form a circle
or crescent around the pincushion. This
is such an easy way to decorate, and
so cheap is the cover, that it can 'be
thrown away when the summer dra
peries are discarded.
Plain material with bands of filet la
very effective. The bands should be
placed in horizontal rows at the ends
of the scarf and filet used for. the cover
of the pincushion that will grace the
top .of the bureau. Under this type of "
cover there should be a colored slip to
give a contrast for the lace.
Cretonne bands on white mull are eas- ,
lly applied; and if the hangings and .
pillows in the bedroom are of this popu
lar summer fabric, the touch of cre
tonne on the bureau scarf makes as
surance doubly sure. The flowers can
be cut out and appliqued on the mate
rial, the raw edges being stitched by
machine near the edge. This work will
last and is almost as effective as stencil
- work.. Try this if you doubt the fact.
As for stencil work, the opportunities
are countless. With the regular outfit
that is purchasable at any department
- where art needlework supplies are to be
bad. you will get materials and sugges
tions for many scarfs. Designs, either
conventional or floral, are to be bought;
and if you find nothing suitable, you
can trace your own design from the
wallpaper or the cretonne material and,
after cutting the stencil from the sten
cil board; paint through the openings on
the plain goods. The stencil paints or
dyes are waterproof, and therefore will
wash. Dotted mull, point deeprtt.
barred dimity or. organdie will make ex
cellent fabrics for bureau scarfs. The
sp plication of color in the form of
straight bands at the hem or as bind
ing along the edges will add a touch
that will deUght you. '
There Is a decided preference for col
ored embroidery on white scarfs The
color shotlld repeat the note of the pin
cushion; or other hangings. Scallops,
daisy motifs, eyelets, punched work and
solid embroidery in color are excellent
in. their ' pleasing contrast on white.
Any simple design can be transferred
from many suggestions that are at
hand. The ordinary designs on any
page for embroiderers are full of possi
bilities. A separate motif with a spray,
of fide leaves can be taken from a pat
tern for a blouse, for example, and
placed in a straight line at the end of a
bureau scarf. Bands of .single flowers
can be applied and embroidered.' 8hadow
stitch Is easy for large designs. Darn
ling stitches In colors can fill in a space
in a short time. The ever-popular French
'knots are pleasing means to the em
broidered ends.- Seed stitches, which
are small back stitches In parallel rows,
fill In hsaves and flowers or conven
tional designs.
Really, there le no excuse for unat
- tractive scarfs at any time. ' The work
Is too easy and the scrapbox too handy.
The results speak for themselves..
