Show NOVELTY IN SCARF TRIMMING Parisian Idea of Using Heads of Ani-. Ani-. mals for the Purpose Has Been Generally Taken Up. Animal head scarfs are among the novelties of the season. They have recently come over from Paris and promise to be much used by women needing a light wrap across the shoul-! shoul-! ders or on the head, while traveling. In making these scarfs animals' heads are cut from figured silk, cretonne, cre-tonne, chintz or other material and sewed neatly by hand to a piece of georgette crepe, chiffon, crepe de chine or other soft silk, two yards long and twenty-seven inches wide, in groups. In some cases the animals' heads are outlined by pencil on a deeper shade of silk other than the scarf and basted to the scarf, then hemstitched by machine. These scarfs are selling now in the novelty houses at from $10 to ?20, but can be made by the ingenious woman for less than one-tenth of the store cost. One is well worth the trouble and very satisfactory when completed. If one prefers the ends can be hemmed and then hemstitched, but the fringe makes a soft finish. |
