Dressing Table Made 
With Quaker Amerex Lace 
in the Dressing Room of 
MISS EVA 
LE GALLIENNE 
M ISS BLANCHE BATES —in private life 
Mrs.George Creel—has made for herself an 
assured place high in the world of the theatre 
—in social and political circles. 
Her good taste is reflected in the beauty and 
restfulness in her own home. 
In a corner of her living-room stands a chaise- 
longue of painted willow. On it is a pile of 
pillows, made in various odd shapes, of Quaker 
Sampler Lace, over pale yellow and pale blue 
silk foundations. 
Beside the chaise-longue a convenient little 
tea-table fairly invites you to tea. And over 
the plate of tea-cakes is a cake-cover—made on 
a wire frame, like a small, squat lampshade, 
cleverly covered with Quaker Sectional Lace. 
A charming and original idea—and its sim¬ 
plicity is another tribute to Miss Bates’ inge¬ 
nuity. She has generously consented to supply 
us with directions for making both the cushions 
and the cake-cover. We shall be glad to forward 
these directions to anjr woman upon request. 
Miss Le Gallienne, by her inspired performance 
in “Liliom”, has given NewYork what is perhaps the 
most intellectual conception on the 
ing stage today. 
Her performance shows that she has inherited from 
her father, Richard Le Gallienne, her sense of poetry. 
In her dressing room is the dressing table shown at 
the right of this page. Miss Le Gallienne had it made, 
English-speak- 
especially for this purpose, under her own direction. 
Strangely enough, it is made of an ordinary 
kitchen table, with a striking over-drapery of flame- 
colored silk and Quaker Amerex Lace, dyed black. 
Miss Le Gallienne, at our request, has sent us 
full directions for the making of this dressing table. 
A note addressed to us will bring these directions 
to you without charge.
