WOMAN’S PAGE. A reader who makes some of her own clothes writes asking whether it is bet- ter to select the material first and then to a pattern, or to select the pat- tern and then select the material. My advice is to begin the campaign ENSEMBLE OF PRINTED SILK WITH BLACK AND WHITE DESIGN OF THE SKIRT AND JACKET RE- VERSED IN THE BLOUSE. by finding out something about the available fabrics, their prices, colors and possibilities. The next step in the pro- m is to think of the style of the with relation to some specific ma- terials which especially appeal to you.

TN s A D == W KER] THIS COMPREHENSIVE FITTED CASE CAN BE ORNAMENTAL AS WELL AS HANDY. ‘There are & number of little kitchen accessories that can be made of enamel cloth ad@vantageously. ‘The textile is easy to work with because it does not ravel, and need not be too stff Yo manipulate readily. The fact that it never requires laudering, yet can be kept spotlessly clean, is the chief point in its favor. One_of the most comprehensive of these little kitchen fittings is a hanging pocket-case. In the pocket are three holders, covered with some kind of cot- ton goods. The front of the pocket is put to good use. It contains a pemcil and a pad. A case requires four pieces of the enamel cloth. Two form the main pocket case and two the fitted contain- ers attached to the front of the pocket. The back pocket portion measures 6 inches by 9% inches. Turn the two sides of one end until they meet in the exact lengthwise center and cut along the turned-in edges. This will make one end of the long portion pointed. The front pocket portion measures 6 inches by 5% inches. Bind one of the 6-inch ends with narrow tape. This portion is fitted with containers for pencil and pad.

These fitted cases lend decoration to a kitchen, as well as handy acoessories if the enamel cloth matches that used for other pu in the room, provided the textile is not ex- tensively employed. If it is, instead of having the pattern just the same, an- other may be erable; but the color scheme in both should be allke. The holders must carry out the color scheme also if they add their quota to the deco- rative possibilities. (Copyright. 1930.)

How, for instance, should such an ardor as that of the confectioner of the Duke of Beaufort be confined? The duke was in bed fast asleep, when he heard impatient knocking on his_door. “Who is there?” he asked. “It is only me,” rejoined the con- fectioner. “I was at the opera and I have been dreaming of the music., It was Donizetti’s, and it gave me an idea.

France being no longer a pleasant place for him, he went to England, where the Earl of Sefton hired him at @ handsome salary and gave him a pen- slon for his old age. No one ever mentioned the Bona- partes without Ude scowling and ex- clatming, “The usurpers!” He had had a tremendous number of adventures with all sorts of people, and his memory was marvelous.
