ONION BUTTONHOLE
WORN WITH TOMATO HAT RIBBON The newest buttonhole seen in a certain tea-room at the fashionable hour is vegetable, but nor floral. Sometimes it is worn on the coat; other women wear their vegetable posies on their hats. A skull cap of black felt with a bunch of artificial asparagus tied with silver thread at one side of it is a striking example of the new mode. A sort x of miniature harvest festival of tiny carrots, turnips, onions and radishes, in excellent imitation of the real thing, is tied in a bunch and surrounded with vegetable leaves. These buttonholes are worn with coats and skirts, or long coats of the severe type, and simple felt or straw hats with a ribbon that is sometimes decorated with a single fruit of the soil, such as a radish, onion or tomato.
When making baby’s napkins, instead of hemming try crocheting the cut edge with knitting-cotton. It saves bulk, and the napkins dry much quicker.
