A waterproof bib for infants is proposed as a useful modern accessory replacing the old padded bib. The design features a linen embroidered bib with a fabric shield attached by gold pins, washable by separating shield from bib during cleaning.

Paris nightgowns in pink dimity with hand embroidery feature bow knots and round necks. Angel sleeves with insertion lace and hem detailing emphasize simple, affordable dressmaking for trousseau stores. The article notes dimity cost efficiency and the enduring value of twisted cotton sheets and linen for durability and laundry costs.
The piece offers simple summer dress trimmings with crocheted flower motifs and discusses choosing wall coverings, flooring, and rugs for small houses. It emphasizes plain walls, coordinated colors, and furniture chosen for necessity, size, and harmony, warning against overpairing pattern and haste purchases.
The article argues harmony and practical taste define the small house interior. Begin with wall treatments, favor wall paper and soft color schemes, then select simple mission style hall and dining room furnishings.

White satin reverses on empire velvet coats feature deep pointed shapes and elaborate embroidery in shade coordinated threads. Floral vine and wreath designs appear solid with selective coloring, offering an oriental Parisian flair suitable for home sewing and adaptable to Angerie collars and blouse patterns.
A cheap bureau cover can be made from a rotten net darned with floss in a flowing design. Embroider the material with the drawing basted to the back of the net to outline the pattern, then finish by lining with chintz in gold colors or using tissue paper if needed for practicality.
The article explains mixing wool with silk yarn to improve durability and reduce stretching, noting silk enhances shawls and afghans but wool alone is best for baby garments due to frequent washing. It also mentions satin trimming as an option and recommends silk for dressy uses.
