Mich. &Ae HOME DEPARTMENT USE OLD FINERIES LACE WAISTS AND SILK SKIRTS FOR NEW BLOUSES. Practical Woman Can Make Good Use of Ancient Materials Every thing Can Go Into Bodice Nowadays. The woman who has old lace waists on hand, or a skirt or two In figured or plain silk, may now find use for these dilapidated fineries. A little study of the shop models in both ele gant and practical blouses for winter wear will demonstrate how these an cient materials can be used up, for All-Over Lace With Marquisette Jumper. everything can go into a bodice now adays, and veiling one stuff with an other is the madness of the moment. Granted there must he a little gootf lace for the yoke and sleeve bottoms, all the rest that goes into a corsage, made after the present styles, may be patched to any extent. As for silk, all that Is necessary is for it to be of a rich color, for the sheen of red, blue, orange, or violet must be visible LACE BAG LATEST NOVELTY Great Saving of Time and. Lace Ef fected by Country Woman's System. A morning visitor at a country house found her hostess busy wit1! mysterious little dimity hags, that tore about ten Inches square and fas tened with a draw string. In answer to her query she was told that these were "lace bags," and that samples of the kind of laces they contained would be sewed on the edges like tags. She was furthermore told that al though the proceeding might seem fussy, it was a great saving of time as well as of lace, for these fragile bits of trimming get tangled and torn If put In a box, even if folded at first. After a few hunts for a particular piece the loosened ends seem pos sessed to knot together, and It re quires great patience to undo them without tearing the edges. The sam ples show just what kinds of lace are bundled and safely pinned at ends, and Just the one bag need be opened. All the bags are put in a large box, labeled "lace," and this has a particu lar space in the sewing room closet. Cracks In Furniture. Cracks In furniture can be filled in with beeswax so that the marks will scarcely show at all. First of all, slightly soften the bees wax until it becomes like putty, then press it -firmly and neatly Into the cracks and smooth the surface over with a thin knife. Next sandpaper the wood surrounding the crack Jand work some of the dust Into the bees wax. This gives the work a finished look, and when it is varnished the cracks will have disappeared. Putty is sometimes used for this purpose, but it Is apt to dry and fall out. while beeswax will remain In practically forever. To Cleanse Tatting. Tatting can not be properly washed to look as good as new, for it is almost impossible to restore the picots to their natural shape. Soak the pieces in gasoline and while wet dust them with cornstarch. Wrap them In clean towel and leave them for sev eral bours. Beat the towel lightly, lift out the lace and shake It free of Btarch. Press the -picots Into shape and iron lightly on the wrong side. through the covering of veiling, mar quisette or chiffon. A summer foulard In black and white since these mate rials wash liko rags would be inval uable, for this combination is stylish under a veiling of any sort in any color. The veiled waists, especially if they have three-quarter sleeves, are shown principally for dressy uses, but the style is too useful for the home dress maker to ignore when making over old textures, and if trimmings and models are sufficiently simple, such designs are suitable for the plainest tuilor gowns. The veiled bodice with lace under part, commonly begins with a com plete blouse made with a high stock of an all-over lace. A plain or pat terned silk, or a Persian gauze founda tion, which is very stylish, will stop at the line where the Jumper is to cover it and.be filled in there with a stock in appropriate materials. The jumper, which is of gauzy veiling in the dress color, Is the easiest thing in the world to make. The kimono model is the favorite for this over-blouse, and is fitted with one or more Gibson pleats at the shoulders, or else tucked back and front, or across the shoul ders only. One strikingly effective device with such waists is a "broad band of some rich trimming going around the foundation at the bust point, and showing richly through the thin outer material. Narrow velvet ribbon, or plain satin bands, trims the white stocks and undersleeves of these bodices effectively, while the blouse itself may have quite another trimming. Persian silk and Indian cottons In a blur of rich color shape the more practical waistB, those intended strictly for the plainer tailor gowns; but when these gaudy textures are veiled with something else, they at once become things for dressy use. Our Illustration displays a blouse of a simple all-over lace in a rich cream, covered with a "kimono Jumper of king's blue marquisette. A lace In blue and black encircles the round neck, with a stole drop at the front. The same lace edges the sleeves of the Jumper and forms cuffs for the gathered undersleeves. This bodice, like all the others, Is adapted to simpler materials. If a gray dreBS on hand must be fitted out with a waist, use any colored silk blue, old rose, violet, green or white for the foundation, and then get a veiling In the dress color for the top. Moire or silk In a matching color could be employed Instead of the lace here used. , A well-made waist in this style would he suited to a handsome tailor suit, and if liked the jumper part alone might he employed as a model for a collarless short-sleeved house effect. In fact, there Is no end to the possibilities of this Jumper, for it Is adapted equally to plain and dressy uses.
