WITH THE LINGERIE FROCK

Handkerchief Linen Scarf Completes Daintiness of ** the Costume. Of particular daintiness are the handkerchief linen scarfs to be worn with lingerie frocks. To make one of the pretty trifles, procure a strip of linen about two yards in length and a half or three-quarters of a yard wide. Scallop the edges with the aid of a spool or thimble and pencil, p;id them sparingly and buttonhole in fine white mercerized twist. Embroider the inside of the scarf with any flower or donventional design desired. Forget-me-nots thickly scattered at the scarf ends and trailing in thinner lines along the sides are most effective. If one hasn’t a stamping outfit, any professional stamper will gladly follow instructions, Eyelet work can he used, giving the scarf a less solid and heavy appearance. The work should be finished with more than the usual neatness on the wrong side, as it will, of course, be frequently exposed to view. About the scalloped edge whip Valenciennes lace an inch or an inch and a half wide. The flowers may tbe worked in white or natural colors.
