An English lady, long resident in Tokyo, once wrote to a friend that the impu!se of her Japanese maids is always to sew on cuffs frills and other similar things topsy turvy and inside out. Since the publication of such reports the art of needlework has been greatly improved in Japan. Several of the English methods have been taught with great success, if only to judge by the lovely drawn thread work sold in great quantities in Great Britain, Yarn of the Deep Blue Sea. One of the most unique battles ever witnessed between creatures of the sea occurred several years ago in the Pacific. Frank Bullen, a sailor, tells of geeing a duel between a whale and an octopus. The arms of the mon- ster were entwined about the huge head of the whale. The octopus had eyes a foot in diameter, and a head large enough to contain 350 gallons. The whale was victorious. Owe Greatness to Mothers.

In Addition to Bestowing Air of Youth- fulness, the Home Sewer Will Find Them Easy to Make—Simple Trimmings, The woman who can wear the slim, |dalmy little one-piece frocks now so much in vogue is lucky indeed, for never was there a more youthful and charming style. Then, besides tak- ing quite ten years from one's age— when this is necessary—the one-piece frock is a matter of so few seams that it can be undertaken by the most mod- est sewer. As yet the various mod- els require little material, too, and self trimmings are among the newest and daintiest ideas of garniture. The taffetag are cut up into marrow frills for finishing off collars and cuffs, they are made into plaitings put on with a middle stitching, they are coquetted into toy-like bows for bodice fronts, shirred over cords, made into puffs, etc. From the quaintest old fashion books, in fact, ideas are taken for the new trimmings, and, since the old no- tions were prodigiously in favor of hand-made ones, any decking which can be turned out by cunning fingers is smarter than any other. All of the supple silks and satins are manipulated in these ways, taffeta lending itself especially well to the quaintest deckings., The veilings al- ways require a touch of lace and may- be a bit of silk to set them off, but the silk always shows a deal of finger magic, the belts and other decking of it showing veritable conjuring, The most exquisite little silk ruches as narrow as betticoat tapes are used on the more elaborate of the velling dress- es, these going about peplum, collars and cuffs and trimming the skirt some- how. The fllustration shows one of the half-made bodices, and it is on white chiffon with crystal beading. The draped effect of this bodice is very new, and all the lines of it would be enhancing to a good figure and fine throat; if the deep decolletage of the back and front is an objection a lit- i tle “modestie,” a bit of concealing net | the V.

Dut all of the novelty veilings and tissues and lace nets are permissible, and If more sim- plicity is desired a pretty evening vell- ing could be belted only with silk and trimmed about the sleves with a matching fringe. To keep the belt in the proper pointed shape it would be made up on a bias tarlatan founda- tion. The silk should also be bias for the belt itself, so that it will sink into the figure. MARY DEAN. New Lace Veils. Chantflly and malines laces are among the newest ideas for spring vells, particularly the cream white ones, which are hecoming agalnst the skin. Some of theso are long, draped gracefully round the hats and hang- ing at the back. The return of the walstline has given opportunity for the display of Deat belts. These are in suede and patent leather, quite narrow, and the more decorative are adorned with Jewels. Jeweled shoes also are a fashionable fad of the moment.

The connection between fish eat- ing during Lent and a strong navy | may appear remote, but to Elizabeth- an statesmen it seemed vital. So much so that a law was passed com- manding everyone to eat fish on every | day of Lent. The reasons set forth | for this enactment made no mention of religious observance. It stated the | queen needed ships for defense and the fishing industry furnished men at all times in readiness for her majesty’s | service. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
