WOMAN’S PAGE. Filet Vanity Sets Adorn Dressers BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE LITTLE LADY IN ANDFINI As long as daintiness is a feminine instinct there will be the desire to have my lady’s bureau, dressing table or vanity dresser a fitting example of this quality. Here, where she pre- pares herself daintily for dance, din- ner or the less festive round of house- hold dutles, she should be confronted by the perfection of detail which she wishes to reflect in her person. When ghe a little overtired it will be a refreshing sight to her. If for a mo- nent the thought, “Oh, it doesn’t mat- I look,” flashes across her when the beans have the children have been cross, a little of her caring a daintily appointed she to make her she w it it dresser toilette. There are man essories of the ssing tablo too expensive for any the wealthy to consider, but it is ¥not always those which do most to contribute an air of luxury. Dainty for the vanity dresser, called v sets,” are exquisite and can home. One of the most harming of these is that which con- tains inserts of filet. Filet is espe- clally charming for use in this man- ner, and fine filet crochet is equally adaptable. Sets Described. “Vanity sets” usually consist of | three or four pieces. The top of a vanity dresser is, as-a rule, in three sections. There is the center portion and tho two side “arms” which are on a higher level. The vanity set has a cover for each of these areas. The fourth plece is that which covers a long, slim pin cushion. The filet design of the hoop-skirted damsel out for a stroll along her gar- den path has been especially designed for use in the filet-trimmed vanity sets here described. It is very smart in effect, especially when against & background of mahogany or other dark wood. This brings Into relfef the pattern which is so pleasingly distributed upon the square, suggest- ing the quaintness of an old sampler and the daintiness of the modern woman. that is Making Your Own. One advantage in making your own wanity set is that you can shape it to the exact contour of the dresser upon which it is to be used. If neces- sary that a piece be cut from it to have it fit neatly about the mirror frame where it overlaps the “arms,” you will know just where to put it In the ready-made vanity sets there may be no allowance for this, or, if there is, no guarantes that it comes in the right place for your dresser. There is great variety in the ways in which filet: inserts can be used in vanity sets. The shape of the sur- face to be covered, of course, deter- mines the proportions, sp no arbitrary rule can be laid down as to the num- ber of inserts employed. The filet picces may be placed only in the cor- ners at the front of the set, or, which is better, they may be placed in all ©of the corners. If this is done, the covers may be reversed and the wear will not come in one section all of the time. For Bureaus. “The vanity scts, while intended pri- m v for use upon vanity dressers, need not be confined to them alone. The same idea may be adapted to a *‘lr!au or whatever takes its place in e bedroom. The little lady and the tree make a charming border to a bureau scarf. If so used in continu- ril FILET WALKS AMONG CROCHETED TREES THEM FAIR. ous pattern, it is-advised that the lace be made in separate squares and fas- tened together, because the mesh is more pleasing so. . Another’ scheme of placing the in- serts §s as follows: Three in the cen- ter of the front edge, one at each of the front corners and .one on each side, halfway between. Plain picot or hemstitchinig makes an attractive border to any of the scarfs or sets. Motif in If the pattern in filet appeals to the eye of a woman who does not crochet, she need not think its dain- tiness is not for her. Cross-stitch has its charms, and here is a design to set them off prettily. Worked in delicate colors upon a ground of white linen, the hoop-skirted lady will find herself much at home upon burecu or dresser cover. Indeed, she would not cedlework. | despise being used upon table covers cushion tops or wherever it is the choice of a needlewoman that her tree-bedecked paths shall lead. Directions for the design will be sent any one who wishes them if self- addressed and stamped envelope is sent with the request.

They are a little daring, rather smart and suggest a welcome change from the floral designs that have so long predomi- nated. The drapes sketched are checked in old blue and are used in a room with cream-colored walls, old-blue moldings -and a tan rug. The furni- ture is painted black, with decora- tions of stiff little zinnia blooms in flaming red, vellow and orange. The slip cover for the easy chair is of plain old blue and touches of the zinnia colors appear in the lamp- shade, window-seat cushlons and other accessories.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. \ Pisces. ‘Tomorrow's planetary sspects are ex- cellent until sundown, and unless all signe err, this is the “appointed time' for getting into execution that which you have hitherts feared to do, and for starting that ‘“‘something” which your intuition has told you will lead to suc- cess and happiness, but which timidity and lack of self-cenfidence have pre- vented you, so far, attempting. It is, of course, understood that speculation and risk have to be avolded. The aspects are exceptionally favorable for all con- etructive effort, and for new departure along commerclal lines. In the eve- ning, the vibrations are sluggish, rather than stimulating, and under the cir- cumstances, self-restraint must be exer- clsed, -In order to avoid -@MYerences and disappointment. It s not an auspiclous oocasion for social entertainment, nor for the launching of any new theatri- cal productions. A child born tomorrow will be er- ratic,” both physically and morally. Its health, during infancy, will, at times, cause serfous misgivings, as a_result of the many ailments from which it will suffer. Its quick recuperative powers will, immediately thereafter, provoke cheerfulness and optimism. In char- acter, it will at times, delight and please all by its vivacity, charm and intellec- tuality. At other times, it will repel by its moroseness and surliness. - It will be quite consclous of its kaledioscopic qualities, and will be al s trying to show to others the good $ide of its char- acter. In this, however, It will be only partially successful, and ‘as it grows older, will acquire the habit, when anti- clpating one of its self-pitying and disgruntled fits, of seeking solitude. It will be very studious and quite intro- spective; very loyal to those that it loves. . It tomorrow is your birthday, you are quixotically loyal to those you consider your friends, and are willing, at all times, to sacrifice your personal inter- ests for those associated with you, elther as relatives or associates. This is, prob- ably, one of the reasons why you have not attained greater material success, as kindness-does not, in this work-a-day world, always beget kindness, and serv- ice does mot at all times create reci- procity.

They do not apprecia that loyalty is given to what we be- lieve to be right and when the cause turns out to be other than we thought, when the friend turns out to be wrong from our standpoint, the loyalty that compels one still to maintain the old relation is mis- taken. Loyalty, to be real, must be found- ed on righteousness and righteous- ness is the inward vision of the in-, dividual soul, the life of the soul. If we violate that, if we, out of mis- taken loyalty, stand up and fight for something that in our hearts we are condemning, we are disloyal to the core and our fight will avail us notdi- ing.

I want my old home!” . Plunger. “I want my old Plunger tried to comfort her, but she refused to be comforted. Finally ho suggested that they build a new nest in a tree near the one that had fallen. Together they looked over all the tres right around there. Some- how they couldn’t find one that just suited. It seemed to Pluunger that Mrs. Plunger was very hard to suit But he was wise enough not t6 te her. He circled overhead or sat about patiently, waiting for her make up her mind. Now of course Farmer Brown's boy knew what had happened. That nest was in plain sight from his door- yard before the tree was blown down. So he had known at once when the tree_had blown down, carrying tho great nest with it. He had wondered what Plunger and Mrs. Plunger would do when they returned and found their home destroyed. Now, as he watched them and saw how mournful they wers, his sympathy for them led him to long to do something to help them. But what could he do? Thers were trees enough for them to build in, so what was the use of worrying about them? “I do hope they'll sta to afront You remember, | on the bronze tablet last Friday eve- ning did considerable damage to the schiool property and, worse than- that, showed * meaning of the tablet. blind to the Their conduct 8 a disgrace to the school and an to the community.
