SCARFS OF PRINTED CHIFFON

Wide Material Should Be Shirred Across and the Whole Lined With Soft, Thin Silk. Charming scarfs that will he a real protection can be made from wide printed chiffon, and from three to four yards are necessary. In making the material should be shirred across the width in groups of pin tucks until the goods is only half its width. These groups are set in at Intervals, leaving flowing ends. Then the whole Is lined with a soft, thin silk, the latter frilled to underlie the ends of the scarf. The edges should be finished with marabou. Though of fragile materials, the construction of them results In a really practical and fairly substantial accessory. A new and attractive Idea In many Instances Is the addition of braid or a fold to all edges of a coat that forms part of a suit fashioned from white serge displaying a colored pin stripe. Often a suit of such material is apt to lack character, "and this the coat edging supplies. The color of the braid or fold is, of course, chosen to match the stripe in the serge. In the. case of the suit being worn by a short or stout woman, it will be better to omit the trimming, using something definite in color for deep collar and cuffs instead for relief.
