COLORED FLOWERS OF SILK

All Designs and Colors of These Millinery Adornments Seem to Have Found Favor. On girdles and at the fastening of fichus and bodice drapery the silk flower is almost übiquitous. Large roses, wound around hard oottonpadded centers, are made very successfully now. Others have their petals cut out and bound with narrow satin ribbon. . .. i The double petal is sewed on the wrong side, turned and stitched again on the edge of the right and gathered in at Fire or six of these make a lovely flower, clustered around a center of yellow stamens, bought at the millinery counter. There are flowers that are made of round petals and some of pointed and oval petals. Pond lilies are enjoying great favor; camellias and gardenias are next; the rose is always In high popularity. On hats, a single handmade flower of large size will grace millinery. Clusters of them will be used on lace and linen caps for babies, and the little straw bonnets for tiny tots will be just as highly favored as ever. What is prettier than a lingerie bat with a colored flower of silk? ■.*
