add a braided handle for a knit­
ting bag. Braid the fabric strips
tightly and keep the work flat
while you sew the circles for the
roses and the loops for leaves;
then sew them together. Use car­
pet thread double for this and for
sewing the braided rows around
the edge of the rug.

Vi AKE one rag rug and you will
find yourself a member of an
enthusiastic clan that gloats over
any soft piece of old woolen goods
and who count the days until they
fall heir to a dress of a particular
color that they want. These en­
thusiasts bleach materials to tone
them down; they brighten others
with dye; they antique some with
tea and they have a wonderful
time.
The sketch gives all the direc­
tions you will need to copy this
fascinating braided rag rug with
a flower medallion in the center.
Or you may make two of the me­
dallions, sew them together and

don't have to plan them, you juat

to get a breakfait with whatever
there 1» at hand in the line of toait,

aible the breakfast apeclaltlea that

morning and down to eat before
they go. And that'a important, be­
cause they miss the Vitamin C in
the orange or tomato juice when
they skip breakfast, the Vitamin B

in the egg yolk, which aren't always
made up later In the day.
A sketchy, hurried breakfast, or
none at all, accounts, too, for some
of that mid-morning fatigue. It'» a
long time to go without food, from

of the next day.
Here, then, are some breakfast

spring it is absolute-
ly necessary that you become thor­
oughly and wholeheartedly acces­
sory-minded. From the very start in
assembling your new wardrobe,
keep firmly implanted in your mind
that accessories, above all else, are
cast to play the dramatic role in
fashion this season. Do this and you
will And yourself safely charted in
the right course through both spring
and summer.
It is a matter of tradition that a
new and becoming hat ever has and
ever will prove the most effective
first aid in sounding the first joyous
note of spring. This season fashion
goes the idea "one better” with the
insistence that a matching handbag
complete the picture by way of add­
ing drama to the occasion. Try the
hat-and-matching-handbag-way and
you will And that it works like magic
in broadcasting the glad tidings of
spring.
Note the quartette of fetching hat-
and-bag ensembles shown in the il­
lustration. Twosomes of this sort
•re typically ''first fashion” news
for spring. At the upper right of
the group a navy blue stucco braid
beret is shown which claims distinc­
tion because of the bright patriotic-
colored strips which detail the beret
and are repeated in the “nautical
knots” which enliven the navy felt
handbag. By the way, navy will be
tremendously smart again this sea­
son.
To the upper left the problem of
matching hats and handbags has

New ‘Half Hat’
Of all the exciting fashion news for
spring, 1941, what is more exciting
than the novel “half hat” recently
turned out by Lilly Dache! There
will no doubt be a rush for these
flattering flowery hats when the sea­
son gets into full swing, for they are
not only charming but practical.
Unusual Fabrics
Enhance Dresses
Unusual fabrics frequently add to
the attractiveness of evening gowns.
A little use of the imagination will
often produce satisfactory results.
If you are ■ smart young person
you might consider going to the up­
holstery department next time you
need material for a new evening
dress. You will be doubly smart if
you choose material with a gray
background.
Heavy gray rayon taffeta has
great possibilities, as does gray sat­
in with tiny motifs tn gold or striped
and damask designs. This material
is so wide that it takes only a few
yards to make a beautiful dress.
ic strips laced through the Howard
Hodge hat and the Nat Lewis hand­
bag subtly emphasize harmony of
colors and materials. In the popu­
lar South American manner the hat
of artichoke straw has a high pleat­
ed crown of the same flame red felt
used for the handbag.
Below to the right black felt and
spaghetti braiding is manipulated
into a new version of the fashionable
off-the-face pillbox with its low-tied
bow of the braid, repeated in the
laced handbag.
For the handsome hat and bag
set pictured on the figure seated,
bright green silk petal-shirred gros­
grain ribbon is used by Lilly Dache.
A matching petal-shirred envelope
bag completes this distinctive ac­
cessory ensemble.
The supremacy of accessories in
the spring mode carries courage
and inspiration in the thought that
the movement is being aided and
abetted by the very highest style­
creative talent in all industries that
pertain to fashion in women's ap­
parel. The whole trend is to cor­
relate and to co-ordinate costume
detail. To this end designers, man­
ufacturers and merchants are en­
thusiastically working together to
co-ordinate color, material and style
motif. By way of suggestion when
you go accessory seeking, look up
the new tiger yellows and browms,
the many smart greens, the beiges,
Peruvian pink, the new pastel jewel
colors, and reds are bolder and
brighter than ever.
"There is no more Main Street in
Fashion,” declared Mrs. Wilhela
Cushman, fashion editor of Ladies
Home Journal, before a conven­
tion of retailers and manufacturers
who recently held their spring na­
tional shoe fair in Chicago.
Mrs.
Cushman says she has found in her
travels of 20,000 miles in the past
that Main street and Fifth avenue
meet and now launch simultaneously
tlie same advance fashions.
Declaring that this season “a cos­
tume will be made by its acces­
sories,” Mrs. Cushman said that
bags will be bigger, softer and more
colorful.
Tn footwear, the news
is of softer shoes. There is a new
softness about the leather used. The
Seamless glove will also be featured
this season, she added.
Creomulslon relieves promptly be­
cause It goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel
germ laden phlegm, and aid nature
to soothe and heal raw, tender, in­
flamed bronchial mucous mem­
branes. Tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulslon with the un­
derstanding you must like the way it
quickly allays the cough or you are
to have your money back.
Whenever possible add flavoring
extracts to a food when it is cool.
If the food is hot, much of the
flavoring will vanish in steam. This
does not apply to baked foods,
however.

A new development in the jewelry
realm is clips that come in series
from two to three, four or Ave. They
vary in size and are worn along a
neckline or are clipped or pinned
to sweep down one side of the bodice
like a flock of little birds.
Another version of the jewel series
is interpreted in several clips that
may be worn singly, in a series or
fastened together to form one im­
portant
individual-looking piece.
Such is the new lotus flower clip.
One clip may be the flower, an­
other the bud still another the fo­
liage. Wear them separately and
they serve many purposes, fasten
them together (they are made to do
just that) and you have one impos­
ing piece of jewelry to wear with
your evening gown.
The idea is carried on in some in­
stances to include matching Anger
ring and earrings.
