The HOME COMMENT

FANCIES OF FASHION QUAINTNESS SHOWN IN MANY OF SEASON'S MOOES. Changeable Sitka Moat Appropriate for Trimming That Just Now la Much Favored—Embroid- ■ ’ cry on Serge Dresses. Ruches trim some of the newest silk frocks. The old fashioned double box-pleating, stitched in the middle and pinked on the edges, Is used to edge sleeves, fichus and the edges of skirts. : The changeable silks are especially appropriate for this kind of trimming. They are quaint in themselves, and when made with fichus and the new self-trimming they hint of grandmother’s day—only they are much lovellef! A charming frock brought from Paris was of blue and green changeable silk; with a fichu of very fine tulle embroidered in blue coinspots. The yoke of the gown was of plain tulle. Sleeves were puffed and elbow length. The skirt opened at the side over ruffled underskirt. Some of the new tailored serge dresses are showing broad bands of embroidery around the hips. Blue . serge is trimmed with light blue; red with a brighter shade, and so on. Lingerie frills of sheer batiste or net are used on many of the serge frocks. A lovely white frock of sheer linen had heavy embroidery in beige colored yarn. Many summer frocks have scarfs designed for them. These are draped around the shoulders in the form of little mantles. One in soft liberty satin was crossed at the back and the ends finished with deep silk fringe. For those in mourning, scarfs of crepe lined with mousseline de sole are worn. Figured tulle over white silk is used for little separate coats for young girls. White corded silk is also favored tor the little ones. Trimmings in black soutache or braid give a very chic finish. Irish lace and “toile de Jouy” are also much used on fancy coats and frocks. Hats of the cretonne are made over little bonnet wire shapes, fitting quite closely. Natural colored pongee dresses are trimmed with scarlet or bright blue. This is particularly favored for young girls who need simplicity with a suggestion of brightness.—New York Sun.

bottom and finished at the top with a little liplike rim. After buying the glass buy ribbon to match'the decorations of your room just wide enough to make a cover for the glass by sewing two pieces together. The cover may be either the length of the tube and put on smooth, or it may be lodger and shirred on each side. The latter way is prettier, but it will catch dust and must be frequently brushed out. ' ■> -I » At the bottom of the case the rib* bon is gathered'together tightly, and either a tassel sewed on or a bunch of bows of baby ribbon. At the top it is finished by hemming each piece of ribbon separately, not sewing the pieces together. The hem mWt be wide enough to come out beyond the rim of the glass. A long loop of the baby ribbon is sewed at the top of each seam to hang the case up or one piece of ribbon may be used, an end sewed at each side. In either case a small bunch of bows is used as a finish where the ribbon is sewed. When the ribbon case is finished slip in the tube, which should be a close fit If there is nothing in the room that seems convenient to hang the case on it is a good plan to buy a long brass hook at a hardware shop and screw it into any 1 appropriate place, such as a door ,or window frame. An Important point to be remembered is always to put your hatpins in the case when taking them out of your hat You will then never have to hunt for the right pins for a certain hat
