Novel Model for Apron, Which May Be Made as Handsome as One Desiree. A novel model for an apron is of handkerchief linen cut in one piece, the sides slanting off and the corners

rounded off a little. This is hemmed around, and the decoration consists of a bend of soft ribbon set in a few Inches from the bottom and held in place by small motifs of any preferred lace. Cluny and filet are very effective, while Valenciennes is always dsihty as a trimming to wash goods. Above the ribbon is a spray of embroidery worked in white or the color of the ribboß as Hked best. The heir lea, repetitlon of the trimming below and confines the fullness at the waist

line. A second smaller spray of embroidery Is worked upon the bib and a frill of lace at top and bottom of apron is the dainty finish.
