The month’s manner of ‘Bow Bells’ has the opening chapters of a new story by W.

One contains a beautiful lacework pattern for a “Duchess Marie” apron, and the other designs for an infant’s embroidered robe and a lady’s corsage with basques. The colored fashion plate is good, and tastefully arranged.
