The FOR GIRL'S BIG BROTHER Latest Fad Is Embroidery of Mono- grams for Lounging or Out- of-Door Jackets. Every girl's big brother must have bis monogram embroidered on the pocket of his lounging or out-of-door Jackets. At least that is what one would think were one to see the young girls at one of the smart water- ing places, all busy embellishing white, blue and black jackets in this matter. The pockets, be it understood, are of the variety known among mascu- lines as “patch,” which is to say they are stitched flat on the outside of the coat. On that adorning the breast the monogram is emblazoned in a style measuring about two inches in depth, and rarely is anything but white used in the work, no matter what color the cloth may be. Some latitude of choice is allowed in the selection of letters, but the cipher arrangement is preferred to initials simply joining. They are placed in the very center of the pocket, heavy white silk being em- ployed in execution of the work. It requires no little skill to do the embroidery well, for the cloth is too heavy to admit of going into a wheel, to prevent drawing, yet it is possible of being pulled entirely out of shape. One girl who has done several has hit upon the plan of basting very heavy brown wrapping paper on the under- side of the pocket and putting her stitches through it. When the work i completed the paper can be pulled out, but while it is in it makes a firmer foundation on which to work. Girls, if they like, may further ‘work for their brothers by embroidering the monogram on the left upper sleeve of negligee shirts. The letters should come just halfway between the elbow and shoulders. Mercerized cot- ton, rather than silk, is used, for the former does not turn yellow as quick- ly from repeated washings. The work should not be undertaken unless it can be well done, for indif- ferently embroldered it is worse than none, Floral Garnitures Good. Very attractive are the small floral collar gnd deep turn-up cuffs are of garnitures in the form of straight bars, embroidered muslin. crescents, buckles, etc.,, made of small Materials required, 4% yards 4¢ satin roses, forget-me-nots, etc., that Inches wide, % yard ninon 40 inches |2re used as ornaments in place of a wide.

Ll - * Shower This Afternoon. The lLadies of the Baptist church are giving Mrs, Ida Carlton a shower this afternoon in the Annex of the First Baptist church.

Jewels for Half Mourning. The disk ornament is not quite so popular since it has been copled so universally in imitation gems, but one of the prettiest designs is seen in a circle of pearls and dlamonds set in black enamel. This is an ornament that is specially suited for wear with half mourning frocks, as the touch of black enamel is one of the new notes, and the disk of pearls is likely to be worn for other and brighter occasions. Importance of Being Correct. The Sunday school teacher was tell: ing her class about the wicked chil- dren mocking the good prophet, and how two she bears came out of the mountairs and “ate up” over forty of the wicked children. *“Now, boys” she concluded, “what lesson does this teach us?’ “I know,” said one young- ster; “It teaches us how many chil dren a she bear can hold.” fore buying. v » ] 3 A A, ) s &.

Bates “Feast of St. Nicholas.” Queen Wilhelmina's subjects, both young and old, indulged this week in the customary annual celebration of the “Feast of St. Nicholas,” which corresponds to the Christmas cele- brations in other lands, though com- ing three weeks carlier. No festivai in Holland exercises a more enchant- ing spell over both young and old. The original custom was for the chil- dren to place their little wooden thoes upon the hearth on the eve of Q. Nicholas Day. the legend being that on that night the holy man rode over the housetops on a snow-white stoed accompanied by his little black gservant ,a Moorish negro. He was supposed to carry with him a large bag, full of toys and sweets of all kinds for the “good” children, and - (& o] —— e | ™ —— - = - —] | g | = s (g —— ] - (& 2] - F ™ NOW ON AT MRS. S. M.
