Γ Boudoir Coat of China Silk Slipped on over a frilly petticoat of •Ilk. or one of plaited crepe de chine, an embroidered coat of light-colored ! china silk is pretty enough to put one in a good humor In the early morning hours. Here is pictured a contribu tion from the Orient that le a thing I of beauty and a joy as long as it I lasts. The coat Is cut like a kimono, on the simplest of lines. It le somewhat longer jthan a three-quarter length, and is slashed up at each 3lde to a depth of about eight inches at the bottom. There is a shaped band of silk about the neck and down the front opening. ;The fastening is made with frogs of silk cord that match the silk in color. In the picture a coat is shown made In a lovely shade of grayish blue silk and lined with white silk of the same kind. The color makes ihe best of backgrounds for the long sprays of flowers and leaves that wander over the surface of the coat. The chrysan themum, shaded from pink to white, ie I the flower so faithfully portrayed in lln· embroidery. The stems and leaves ' 'r*fciret'YiW».#oft gray green. The ejfS|jH^lery appears at each iBlde of the front and across the back, with one long spray extending down (the side. Buds and leaves are scattered over the band at the neclc and at the bottom of the sleeves. A small white silk cord outlines the band at each side. Other coats are shown with the wild rose or the wisteria blossom used Instead of the chrysanthemum. Coats of the same shape and design but of heavier silks and richer em broideries, are used for evening wear. The boudoir coat shown is a very in expensive affair, but is as beautiful as thoee used for evening, although it is a· much more simple in its decoration. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Button Bag. "Button, button, who's got the but ton?" It should be in your button bag, madam; but if you have not any, here is an odd little pattern that you might copy. Make a perfectly ordi nary little bag with a square bottom and a drawstring. You may use natu ral-colored linen, and out of the same linen make four pockets for the out side of the bag, binding them with col ored tape. The flaps of these pockets are fastened with the variety of but ton that is Intended to be kept in each pocket. As decoration, you might em broider some sunbonnet babies and, instead of the bonnets, supply faces of painted buttons.
