' An afternoon dress in Bianchi-ni's Bianchi-ni's melon print designed by Joseph Jo-seph Halpert has a black crepe blouse with a low boat neckline, long, slimming sleeves. The softly draped skirt is accented with a black patent belt. fast and luncheon cloths. Contrasting colored hems are very popular and are conservative enough even to please the most discriminating dis-criminating hostess. This may be done with a fabric of a different color added to the mat itself; or, it may be in the form of a bias tape used for finishing the edges. Use Tour Ingenuity In Decorations Feather-stitching is very popular on the very simple doilies, and gay-colored gay-colored ric rac is always welcome. A simple crochet stitch often adds newness to doilies, and this may be worked out in white or in other colors col-ors that combine well with your dishes and accessories. For formal doilies such as you might want to use when entertaining stay with the simple designs like bands, panels or classic designs. A band might be run through the middle, mid-dle, but choose its width carefully so that it does not look like patchwork. patch-work. Always miter the corners carefully so that the placemat will lie flat on the table. If your machine has an edge stitcher, it will be easy to insert lace bands to run around the doily. This gives particularly fine effects j on the sheer materials like dimity and organdy. For decorative stitching on the machine, use the durable buttonhole twist or yarn. This washes and irons beautifully and is just the right weight to give an excellent linejanQ lel slana umu ensp. wipe wkon etitxhina Mark anH mBacnre i dry and slice. Add sliced onion and where you want to stitch before starting out on the machine. If you make good flat-fell seams on your doilies, they can often be used on both sides. They will also launder and wear much better than if you are haphazard in doing the seams. Table Linen Tips Unbleached or semi-bleached muslin bleaches quickly in washing wash-ing and is an economical buy for table linen. Usually this fabric has a rough weave and more stiffness which is desirable in making good table lin Single and double damask are often confusing to the new buyer of household linen. This simply means mat single damask has fewer threads to the inch than double damask, and thus the former for-mer has a more loose weave. It is cheaper and less good quality. When making or buying a tablecloth, make sure it hangs evenly on all sides; otherwise it will give the table a lop-sided appearance. Crocheting should be used with care and discrimination. If too coarse, gaudy or over-crocheted, the piece will have a messy appearance ap-pearance in spite of the work put into it Simple edgings are always al-ways in good taste. If a cigarette hole has burned into a luncheon cloth particularly particular-ly if it is near the edge, use an appliqued flower or fruit design over it, and no one will know the difference. Look for natural shantung and nylon fabrics for those smart town wear dresses. They both drape nicely to give good lines in this type of dress. If you lean towards the practical, select at least one good suit for the coming months. You'll find short-waisted short-waisted models for the shortie, and longer length jackets for the slender and willowy. II . 'i fift'$9 Jm A4 mi lit irWM V. .
