WOOL TRIMMINGS.

A collar and cuffs crocheted in coloured wools form an excellent finish to a tweed dress and are made qnickly. Choose wools in not fewer than three shades of the same colour and, for a simple collar, work two rows in the lightest shade, in treble crochet, almost the length the collar is to be when finished. Follow with one row each in the remaining colours, and

then crochet along both ends and the bottom of the strip with wool matching the last row, or a darker shade. Stitch a band of muslin at the top of the strip, to turn inside the dress, and press under a cloth. The cuffs are made in the same manner. Wool modesty vests also look well with sports suits, variegated wool being used for these. A colourless dress with vest and cuffs in this wool, looks particularly smart.

Wood may be prepared for varnishing by rubbing down with fine glasspaper. No. 0, until the roughnesses disappear. If there are any little holes in the wood use plastic wood, sold in tubes, to fill them up, allow to dry thoroughly, and then glasspaper the door again to make sure of a perfectly level surface before applying the varnish.
