If she is thrifty she will turn out many dainty b of needlework, in all of which she will take much p e. Itis quite the fad at present to hemstitch linen towels by hand, scallop the hem d then buttonhole stitch them. The monogram of the worker—or, better sti 2 design of fleur de lis, sham- rock or clover—is worked in one end to stamp the owner's individualit Even wash cloths are treated in the same manner. The dower chest girl makes all her bed linen by hand, for knows that nothing can take the place of hem- stitched sheets and piljJow slips. On these, too, she daintily embroiders her ‘crest,” whatever it may be. Even her bolster glips are marvels of dain- ess, and quite as much care is ex- pended upon them as on the sheets and pillow cases. The latest adjunct to such an outfit was a mouchoir bedspread, pillow shams and dressing table scarf, all made out of pure embroidered linen beaded handkerchiefs, such as come for corset covers. It took twelve dozen to make the spread, but when it was finished, with white wash ribbons run through the beading, it was worthy of reposing in the dower chest. The pil- low shams and dresser scarf were made likewise, joined neatly and with® ribbon run through the beading. The finishing touch was a fleur de lis de- sign worked in the center of each handkerchief, This same chest contained table cloths, napkins and doflies, all ex- quisitely hand made and embroidered with a fleur de lis design In the cor- ners. There were also embroidered bands of ribbon for holding each set, which added to the charm of posses- sion. On these were painted the words “Towels,” “Table Cloths,” “Doilies,” ete. There were also “Bridal Sets,” made in the same way ror holding the lingerie. The dower chest girl will be a feature of the summer. Instead of the inevitable doily or centerpiece, she will be seen on the piazza with some THE SAN FRANCISCO SUNDAY CALL autumn bride handkerchief One isite hemstitched handk he bia Each yined by ha fagoted bead- crochet silk.

I would wait a few weeks if I were you before I bought a hat. On account of the Con- clave an ‘additional season has been decided upon, and you will be able to get one that has not been lying about the shops since early spring. MRS. N.—(Perfume). Good perfumes never fail to be expensive and poor cnes are an abomination. However, get a bottle of violet toilet water and twenty-five cents’ worth of musk. Pour the musk into the full bott'e of water and then use as you see fit. You need not be afraid of the musk, for it merely serves to hold the violet odor and to add the faintest possible sweetness of its own. Do not buy more than a quarter's worth, though.

The prettiest tea apron I hay en lately was fash- joned from a handkerchief. Turn one corner over and cut it o Gather the rough edge ever so little and put an inch band into it. Round the apron frill a full ruffle of lawn and use the same for the strings. The corner that was cut off is used for a pocket and the effect is very pleasing. All told it can be made for fifty cents and even les: vard of liwn and one handker- chief is the material needed. VIFE.—(Initials). HOUS The best- kept homes have every bit of linen marked, from the Kkitchen right through the house. Perhaps you didn’t know you could buy initials or even monograms ready to whip on. You can so get a dozen and sez how you like the result. FLORENC (Bridal Outfit). For a girl who wants a plain but good out- fit I should think this about correct. A smart traveling suit, short of course; a silk shirtwaist suit, a black crepe or net that would answer as an afternoon and an evening gown and a white wedding gown made of any of the softgmaterials that are so much in vogue. Have it made so that vyou may be able to wear it as an evening gown, for there is little sense in putting it away and cherishing it. Two hats, one strictly tailored and the other soft and fluffy, and one‘Jong loose coat should answer all prac purposes. In the line of underwes now. I should not try to buy sets it I were you, as something always seems to be the matter with one or another of the garment And re- member oné thing when you are buy ing them, as I should advise you to do, for certainly your hands are busy if your are employed all the day. Very elaborate clothes cannot be sent to the regular laundry and it will cost a smaill fortune to send them to a French one. Embroidery wears better than lace by far and is just as pretty, so buy your half dozen pieces with this in mind. Four pétticoats should be ample, as they wear a long time. to get one silk one and get a staple color that will harmonize with anything you may wear. Two or three muslin shirtwaists are neat and pretty for morning wear, especially if you expect to be your own maid, for they n be tubbed frequently and are Sweet and clean. Yes, household linen is one of the things that a bride takes with I it is one of the biggest items. If you are very short of money 1 would not t to skimp along to add to it, for it is not a necessity and there are many girls who go to their new homes without a single piece. You should be able to get good tablecloths plenty good enough for-$1 asyvard, and two-yard cloths will be plenty big enough for four people and a fair sized table. Five or six cloths are plenty, and two dozen napkius.
