issue some pretty eolors or combination Of colors
suitable for cTochetod street sack like the little
pcsse recently given for little boyf am getting
tired of light blue and cardinal, rs everybody here
has either Of these. Am much interested in the de-
partment and will contribute my mite sOOn.' Pale
blue with border Of pale pink is pretty for a small
cbiId wearing white dresses. the cotors must he
very pale. Garnet with border Of CTeam-COlor or
cream with border Of garnet IL pretty. Seal
brown and cream make q charming combination.
White with border OF chinchla-gray is also efec-
tive
THAT CoUNTERrANE.-Iouise saws: 81 think I
can help Mrs. A. o. V. in her trouble with the
counterpanc. She will find that Che 57th row
should be read Over. pul ? knit /, over knit
J. over knit !, pur T. repeat from 90 end Of row,
when purl L. She will find that the seven stitches
occurring in every row are the space separating
leaves which are exactly like the one made at the
beginning. The Counterpart j. positively the hahd-
soonest one ever saw and there have been many %
and will repay Mrs A. o. Y. for her persistence IN
working il. think she will find the ordinary Red
Ball carpet yarn OF warp better substitute Tor
work in il bleaches TO softer white and viii not
afterward turn yellow II IN disusc. have seen
both tried and speak from knowledge. 4 pound OF
the warp costs but p cents, and viii make quite
large piece. II il at least worthy trial. always
look at the knitting among tho first, and have de
rived great pleasure from it,
RAILROAD SrOCKINGs.-S. J. b. will probably find
the size gwen viii fit the girl mentioned II she be
well grown.
