NO ’ELTY that will attract
your attention at the lace
counters consists of strips
of Belgian hand embroidery on
very coarse net. The colors are
vivid but not crude. and the strips
are used for starts or as trimming
,on frocks. They might also be
used in an interesting .way in
decorating lounge cushions or
other decorative accessories.
At the stocking counters or in
the specialty shops where stock-
ings are sold you will see now—

samples. They are quite as ex-
pensive as good quality silk. but

striking sport designs or in solid

stripe between groups of ribs.
Alpaca is one of the smartest
fabrics seen in the shops where
goods by the yard is sold. For the
black afternoon frock black silk
alpaca is excellent. It is soft.
shimmery and rather heavy, fall-
ing close to the figure. Wool
alpaca. which is less expensive, is
quite as smart and recommends
itself to a more severe type of
frork~~a trim little street frock for
spring. '
Black silk alpaca would be an
excellent material for the all
black frock trimmed only with
white or ecrue lingerie or lace col-
lars and cuffs.

the appearance of a real hand em-

structs the real mah Jongg fun.
"We can get that sort here. Get
a nice. dirty. yellow one that has
been used by wicked old Chinese
gamblers. That would be so pic-
”turesque."
Doubtless the astute Chinese
merchants will find a way of

after all there probably have not
been in all the ages as many

Some enthusiasts over the game
have gone so far as to have special

a little room off the living room

Perhaps for most folk it would be
enough to have a “mah jongg cor-

Usually one uses an ordinary
bridge table for playing the some.
but it is possible now to buy fold-
ing bridge tables with tops of
Chinese blue, lacquer red or jade

the table. Chairs to go with this
should be in lacquer red and of
course the shade for the bridge
lamp shduld show some sort of
Chinese design. Chinese prints
