Big, showy patterns provo less attractive to the shopper than more quiet and unobtrusive ones. The pretty combination which is shown in the Illustration given her.e is an inexpensive, but well-made gar ment. The bodice is laid in a few narrow tucks at the front and back. At the top a row of Insertion is joined to a narrow lace edging by means of a fine beading. The inser tion terminates at the shoulders, but the beading and edging extend all around the top and form the strap over the shoulders. This makes op portunity for a narrow ribbon or cro Embroidered Cape-Collar and One of Lace i i i n in.

They aro to servo the double purposo of protecting the nock qf the blouse and providing quickly adjusted decorative touches; There Is a great icmand for them, and therefore an endless variety in designs. Tho collars In the plcturo aro ad justed to the Bamo blouse. Tho blouse is of sand-colored crepo worn with a Busponder dresB of brown broadcloth and plain except for small sprays of embroidery at each side of tho front In silk of tho same color as tho blouse. Tho laco collar Is merely a frill of BEST COLORS FOR THE ROOM Matter Worthy of the Moot Careful Attention, as So Much Depends Upon It. Palo colors aro appropriate for small rooms and for furniture which Is light and delicate, while dark colors should bo used in - largo, "architectural" rooms and with furniture which is heavy in build. The vitality of a color la denoted by Us intensity, or Its relation to the neu tral gray. Intense colors should bo used with restraint, for brilliant coloi ing Is pleasing only In small areas, Just as "tho flash of diamonds Is more tol erable on account of their insignifi cant size." Tho celling, walls and floor of a room are tho background or setting for Its furnishings, and should always be neutralized, At tho same time, their colors should be kept fresh and clear. Another thing to bo re membered is that the lighter the ceil- cheted cord by which the garment la adjusted to tho figure. Across tho front four small medal lions are set in, each one a small floral nattern In machlnemado embroidery and open work which Is very much like hnndwork In appearance. These are inclosed in set-in scallops of in sertion. The pants, are joined to the body with a strong, narrow beading and fin ished at tho bottom with edging put on, with scant fullnesB.

Small covered wires support it about the neck at tho sides and back. Tho second collar Is a novel design made of lino embroidered batlBto. It Is a high turnover, open at tho front and lengthened at the back into a little capellko portion. This is shaped Into threo panels which terminate at tho bottom in threo embroidered scal lops. By means of these accessories one may change tho neck-dress, freshen up the toilette and get a more or less dressy effect according to the collar chosen. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Ing tho higher tho room will seom; also, that a r6om In which the celling is too high can bo given a fairly cozy air by papering tho walls only up to tho plcturo molding, or within two or threo feet of tho ceiling, and tinting tho space abovo either the same tone aB the celling or a shade between the celling and walls. Craftsman. Calling Cards. Formal correspondence has suffered a change this year, brought about per- naps by tho change-of attlro. One point especially noticeable la that women's visiting cards are somewhat smaller than usual, duo to tho fact that they must fit into smaller mosh bags than herotoforo. Girls' cards are HkowlBo ono size smaller than thoso of thoir married sisters, and perbapB uecauso or Bociety:s superstition thoy aro no longer engraved. Again, they may havo a delicato touch of color, even If It Is only a lino or a novpitv design of dresden tucked away In ono corner.
