In WOman’s Realm Needlework in Many Attractive Designs Has Achieved Much Popu larity for Afternoon and Evening Gowns, as Shown in the Illus tration-Footwear Never So Artistic, or So High in Price. Needlework in which long stitches In heavy floss or yarn are used to produce many new effects made its appearance first on millinery. It re appeared with the entrance of the styles for spring, in suits and blouses and has reached its best development In afternoon and evening gowns. It Is in reality a sort of embroidery ■which may be rapidly done, and the long stitch effect made by tacking heavy floss to the fabric it decorates ■with fine silk thread. It is a showy decoration admitting of cleverness of colors, and there is no limit to variety of design in using it For blouses lighter flosses are used, often in conjunction with metal ■□MQMaMDHaKDßninßDtianßnKna NEEDLEWORK AND BEADS IN NEW EFFECTS. threads, and actual stitching works out the design. These decorative fea tures of the new season may be the inspiration of bead work, which ap pears along with them, but is not so popular. It is more tedious to do and is not superior to the floss in appearance, and it is not so light in weight. But the same designs may be wrought in cither beads or floss. An afternoon gown of black tulle over satin pictures a model in which black and white beads embroider the tulle overdress in bands. The under skirt of satin is plaited and joined to a low sleeveless bodice of satin. The overdress is very full, with a three PERFECTION IN SHOES Inch hem about the bottom. A wide band of beadwork heads the hem and a similar band divides the skirt half way of its length. A narrower design is worked about the skirt at the hip line and midway between the two wide bands. The same designs appear in short bands on the bodice. Long sleeves of tulle are finished with cuffs of satin, and a decoration of several parallel rows of beads reaches from shoulder to cuff. The deep cuffs are adorned with a single row of the same embroidery. The round neck makes opportunity for a wide standing band of tulle. There is a soft girdle of satin ribbon. Narrow er satin ribbon hangs in loops and ends at three places at each side of the skirt. Black silk stockings and patent leather slippers complete the toilet. No matter how rich the costume may be this season, its correctness will be questioned if the shoes are not up to the high mark of daintiness and elegance set by the fashions of to day. Footwear is quiet as to color and exquisite as to workmanship and it is light and finished to the last de gree of excellence. Women have never been more beautifully shod. The very short skirt has many faith ful adherents and the high boot to wear with it is imperative. It comes high in more senses than one, for shoes have advanced greatly in price, with the prospect pointing to a further ad vance. But there is no denying the youthful look of the short skirt or the charm of neatly clad feet and ankles, therefore the high boot flourishes in the face of a shortage of leather. Two styles in high boots and one in low shoes are shown in the illus tration given above. The high shoes are made in several shades of gray and in pale tan, or the same models may be had in black cr white or com binations of black with all of the lighter colors. There is a choice of styles in heels. They are only mod erately high, whether following the French or Cuban lines. The low shoe pictured is a favorite in black or white. The seams are outlined with a cut-cut pattern that is met with everywhere in high-class footwear. / y Briar Stitching Trims Linen Dresses. A dainty little cotton dress was seen the other day in a schoolgirl’s outfit. It was of oyster linen and the hem was turned up on the right side. The skirt was cut circular and the discrepancy of width was arranged in little flaring "pockets,” a scalloping green briar stitch encircled the hem, catching the linen every three or four inches. Lit tle 6prays of briarstitching were car ried down from the belt and here and there tiny rosebuds were embroidered in. The same stitching was repeated on the collar and the little dress was a real "creation.” HAS WON DESERVED FAVOR American Cooks More and More Com ing to Recognize the Advantages of the Casserole. Why is this cooking en- casserole, or in earthenware, so popular in France? Because in no other way is it possible to obtain such delicious flavors. There are three things to remember in casserole cooking: First, the food must be entirely prepared before the baking is begun; second, the oven should be only moderately hot at first, then reduced to slow heat; third, the food should not be allowed to boil and must be given time enough for long cooking. A meat casserole of any kind needs at least an hour and a half to cook, while many meats, fruit and desserts require from three hours upward. In the old French ovens covered crocks containing beans, or apples, or fruits, for the cooked compote so beloved hy them, were put in the oven at night to cook slowly until the next morning. This was a part of the frugality, the putting to account every bit of meat, which is still the habit of all French housewives. For the best results, or I may say *he most striking results, get a cheap cut of meat, which is not liable to be tender, and see what a transformation will be worked by the casserole cook ing. Cut the meat in pieces suitable for serving, and add some thickening agent which will absorb the excess moisture, leaving the food just moist enough to be served attractively. Rice is good with game, chicken, lamb and veal; dried bread crumbs with pork; macaroni and pearl barley with beef. Sometimes with young chicken or tender fish potatoes may be used, but never when long cook ing is required, for they cook to a mush. —Pittsburgh Dispatch.
