An unusually chic calling gown of
dark green taffeta showed the 1830
mode In Its quaintest form ; with IHlf
; ' lags end Insertions , long shoulder : effect .
, CecL and full sleeves , La say nothing I
of the full skirt and small waist , the
ensemble was all one could desire. A
toque of the green showed tiny wing
and knots of ribbon velvet of a paler
shade for contrast ; the green parasol '
sol was R most fitting accompaniment
to this particulllr costume.
Any number of dainty matinees and
negligees must be considered in the

majority of women , their clinging ful-
ness , with flowing sleeves , being real-

coming.

Macrame Lace.
r Macrame lace is one oC the newest
. J' ' features for trimming linen and can-

I time that this fish cord was ured : : to
make "tidies , " table milts and scarfs
- - - - arc rather amused at the reappearance

laces. Macrame Is wonderfully : ; smart ,
\ and even If It is made of cord with n

most fashionable trimming that my

n pity someone doesn't design n few
simple patterns that might readily hC'

far have deep rounded points with
raised : ; effects , and scallops around the
entire edge In preference to the fringe
that was so fashionable last year.
Fringe , however , properly belongs to
the macrame variety , so one may
choose it wIth perfect propriety Very
deep collars oC this heavy lace will
ho worn In the early spring , and as
they are adjustable they will answer
for lightweight wraps as well.

stant use should be brushed with n
toothbrush that has been dipped In

It must ho done from the back , and
care must bo taken not to loosen the
stones. Then lay the things In a box :
of jewelers' sawdust , which hafl been
slightly heated beforehand , and leave
for an hour , says the Ohio Slate Jour
