PLENTY OF CHEAP TRIMMINGS

Many Effective Varieties This Season Which a Woman Can Fix Up for Herself. Of inexpensive trimmings that a woman can manage for herself there is almost no end this season. The oldfashioned cross-stitch has entered the lists against the more elaborate embroideries. and has won a place of its own in its first season. It is effective, inexpensive and very easy, says the Delineator. You can work in bright colored wool on chiffon and other transparencies, or in ordinary embroidery floss on your cotton blouses. It works up in no time even in inexperienced hands, and it has ail the best houses in Paris to vouch for its good character from the fashion standpoint. It makes a very good looking trimming Tor the bottom of tunics and flounces, and for the edges of surplice waists and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch answers the same purpose as bead embroidery, giving a little weight to sheer materials, and it costs even less than the porcelain beads.
