CROCHETED ACCESSORIES
CROCHETING IS POPULAR NEEDLEWORK
Crocheting that needlework that always employs the same simple
stlches. is the highnote in style this Spring. It blossoms out in these
dainty and perky collar and cuff sets that make you want to take crochet
hook and cotton and quickly smarten up some dress. The beret—al-
ways flattering and so practical—is effective in chenille or heavy cot-
ton its ribbed effect adding a new note to crocheted headwear. In the
round collar and cuff set the cuffs are equally practical cm a dress or
to add that newest note to gloves the crocheted cuff. They are Just
sewn on to a fabric glove and it is easy to see what a dainty touch they
give the entire costume. The arrangement of the stitches in this set
seem to give it a perkiness that is most desirable. The simple crocheted
medallion that adorns the edge of the bib collar and cuff set give it
* petal-like effect. Made of net or georgette the set adds a dainty touch
to any dress.
Pattern 898 contains directions for making the two collar and cuff
sets and beret as well as a pattern for the bib collar and cuff set and
material requirements.
Send 10 cents in stamps or coin (coin preferred) for this pattern

Cooler Kitchens Use I
NATURAL GAS
In the Valley it is desirable to have a fuel
that does not throw off excess heat into the jj i
kitchen. Natural Gas is just such a fuel. When | I
you are ready to cook light the burner and im- 1 I
mediately your range is ready. The cooking j jj
utensil begins to absorb the heat at once. There |
is no lost fuel. When the cooking is finished [ I
turn off the gas and there is no heat going out 'j j
into the room. Natural Gas is an Instant fuel. [ I
There is no waiting for it’s usefulness to be I j
reached. Simply light it. Then go ahead with j j
your cooking. j
In addition to it’s instant readiness Nat- j \
ural Gas is an economical fuel. It will work I
for you for a surprisingly low figure. For
cooking needs hot water or any other use that
requires heat you will find Natural Gas to be
the ideal fuel. The ordinary household will I j
find that they can supply all of their heating
and fuel needs with Natural Gas for a minimum f I
cost with a maximum of efficiency con-
venience and cleanliness. j
You owe it to yourself to u«e the BEST I !
fuel obtainable. j ;
