. WOMAN’S PAGE.” Crochet, Stitchery and Styles BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THIS HANDSOME RUG, IN OLD BLUE AND POMPEIAN RED, WORKS UP QUICKLY. The vogue of crochet is Teturning with its excellent opportunities for women to make attractive articles in this favorite craft. The work is rapid, which is always an asset in this busy era. Since stitches are innumerable, the style of work varies decidedly from sturdy, dureble rugs to filmy, diaphanous Jace. The stitchery is, nevertheless, divided intc two distinct types, one compact, as in rug-craft, the second open as in lace. Between these two extremes of compact and open textures, there is a wide range of surfaces. There has never been a time since crocheting ‘was devised that it has not been in use in some one of these types, but it comes recurrently into especial favor as a pronounced vogue, when both types are Tequired. In some instances the identical pat- tern for rug-craft and lace, such as filet, can be used interchangeably. For example, filet lace designs worked in | single crochet become compact, firm and minus perforations. When a coarse rug medium is employed, the weight makes & heavy textile suitable for floor covering. The sizc of the pattern will ‘e enormously enlazged. It will become bold as is desirable for rug-craft, instead of dainty as in filet crochet. Should a crochet rug-craft design be wrought in filet, with its spaces and posts supplying the network quelity, the pattern will be open and delicate. Pat- terns which work out to form square stitches in any designs can be utilized for filet crochet or for single crochet stitch. From this, it will be seen that cross-stitch patterns can be developed | in filet or single crochet. This is because of the fact that the crafts are those ‘worked by counted stitches. Each space counts as one stitch, whether the space in the pattern is open or filled in. Artistic rugs can be made using the recently shown blossom motif with flowering vine borcer to match. Each | full blossom motif forms a clrcular de- | sign inside a square of background. The | rug can be in tiles of these patterned squares with the design carried out in alternating colors in alternate squares with the beckground varying in similar manner. For example, the background | in one can be old blue with the design | in Pompelan red while the square next | to it can have the background of the | red end the design in blue. The metch- ing border would surround these squares. | | In’ this the background of black, flower: | of red and vine of the blue would be | interesting. The two patterns can be had for 10 cents. ease inclose g self- | addressed end stemped envelope. Direct | requests to Lycia Le Baron Vvalker, care of The Evening Star. ‘The strands of yarn or rags that are not being crocheted with, are crocheted | over and strands changed in the final | loop of the stich preceding the change in color. Another color design arrange- ment is to have the center of the rug in solid color with the blossom motif | forming an inner border, and the flowering vine the outer border, or the borders can be used in reverse order. Another charming color scheme is to have the flowers of deep yellow, foliage green and background French gray. While these schemes are suggested, any | | to go with the colors in the room in which the rug is to be used are equally | | good. According to the use of patterns as | described, this same design can be em- | ployed for filet crochet for table runners and doilies, towels, etc. Or for cross- | stitch by counted stitches on canvas. (Copyrisht, 1531.) The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWAED. Whose uniquely successful career, both in business and private life, enables her to speak with complete authority on problems of the Business Woman's Home. Genevieve thinks that girls who work for a living after they're married can't make a home. She says: ed to be that girls looked forward to marrizge as meaning a home of their own, a family and a pleasant circle of friends. Now many cannot marry un- less the wife con- tinues to hold a job, and the home has turned into an apartment so small that nerves grow taut, good nature is strained and spirits are stunted by the continued over- crowding. Children must be reared by cheap help, rela- tives or nul y schools, and not as we would like to rear them. “It is difficult to make a ‘house’ into a ‘home’ when both parents are away all day and come home tired out physically and nervously. There is lit- tle time for the friends. It seems to me that there is little that is ideal in | what the young folks have to look forward to.” It seems to me that this talk about women who work not being able to make a home is al! an ancient supersti- tion. It scares off many girls who might otherwise try to build up a pleasant home life while continuing to work. Even more, it gives men a false notion so that they're afraid fo have their wives work after they’re married. ‘Thousands of women are mlkln{ homes although they are working all day long. You say children must be reared by cheap help or in a nursery school. I know some nursery schools which bring up children better than many a parent. All day long the children are in the hands of women who are trained in this one special business up children. . These women are never exasperated by childish notions, they are always | atient, cool and detached, as pecple who bring up children ought to be. No tired mother who has to do her own housework can possibly be that way all the time. As for the girl wno 1s physically exhausted from her day at the office— wouldn’t she be far more nervous, ir- ritable, and exhausted after a day of cooking, cleanin; dressing children, feeding children and watching their manners?

Who Knows? Not I! BY FLOCENCE LA GANKE. new fashion created the furore caused by the advent of the Empress Eugenie hat. There is much discussion as to whether the style will last or go quickly into oblivion. If it stays it calls for femininity in dresses and coats. It alco calls for many modi- fications for older women. Another requirement for the contin- uation of the st this—one must learn how to w “The hat does not belong pulled w down clere to the nape ci the neck. is not supposed to hug the lines of the bob. Neither is it supposed to be worn bac! of the forehead, exposing both eyebrow: Fashion decrees that one eve brightly shining is better than two eyes looking out upon the werld. The shallow crown of the new hat make it imperative that said hat be worn with an “air,” otherwise the style is lost. Perch the hat high, tilt it over the right eyebrow. Do not cover the back of the head as far down as the nape Seldcm has of the neck. Show the becoming wave of the hair over the left side and over | the ear. Choose the trimming on the hat with | discretion. Tralling feathers or coquet- tishly curled ones do not belong on the hat of the business girl or the woman who has to go out in all sorts of weather. Small feather “fancies.” cunningly wired ribbon bows, trimmings of syn- thetic materipl which resembles crystal are all more®durable and wearable for an everyday hat. And, above all, see to it that the dress or coat has the same general style trend as the hat Polo coats do not belong with fine feathers.

Superfluous Hair, Outdoor life and scanty clothing in Summertime have been blamed for the increase in superfluous hair that many girls and women notice by the end of the holiday season. It seems a reason- able theory and yet, if it proves to be true, I hope none of my readers will allow such a consideration to keep them from enjoying fresh air and sunshine in the modern way, beauty that come from living as much ac possible in the open air should cer- tainly not be sacrificed for fear of en- a few cases.

This i§ for facial hair and should be patted with a plece of clean absorbent cotton and allowed to dry. If the skin is unusually sensitive another tablespoonful of peroxide may be added to weaken the bleach. Keep a small bottle of this mixture handy in the bath room, so you will not forget to use it each night after washing. Use lth;m the dark hairs about the lips and chin, For hairs on arms and legs pour six tablespoonfuls of peroxide into a small bowl, then in half a tablespoonful of ammonia. Apply with absorbent cotton. If the hairs are very thick and coarse an even stronger mixture may be made by using two perts of peroxide to one part of ammonta. In time the hairs will tend to become weak and brittle, When cream, paste, liquid or wax depllatories are used to remove body hairs there is always a regrowth; the same is true of shaving or tweezing.

There are numerous hair roots in the skin, but most of them precuce only a light, downy growth that is scarcely notice- able.
