selecting birds for screen. those of
small or medium size are the most ef-
fecftve. When embroidered on III
textures, worsted or silk should be en-
ployed, Oolored linen thread may be
used eHectualIy when combined with
beads Of plumage colors. The 'ava-
davat," an Oriental bird, is a lovely
design; two or three perohed on q
branch, with twigs, are very snowy
when skilfully embroidered on satin;
this pattern for screen panel or table
cover is handsome. The pIumage OF the
and avadavat is very brilliant, the head
breast are of bright red, the wings are
rioh brown, the back q sort of chest
nut, the tail black, and oil tho feathers
are tipped with snow white; the beak
is scarlet. Robin Redbreast looks as
lovely wrought in silk as painted in oil
colors. A beautiful screen design, for
felt and satin appliqued work, is the
skylark, with spread wings, about to
fly on Its nest made on the ground by
the side of cluster of field daisies.
The eggs are of pale green tinge, with
scattered brown spots. The gorgeously
plumed gold-fnch looks lovely wrought
III silk, and since this bird will mate
with the canary, the two perohed on q
spng or evergreen or holly gives a
SNOWY and interesting pattern for o
large screen fold. Fruit designs are
effective, either embroidered or painted
in oil colore. "A plstty Indian straw
hash5I, containing cherries, plums, and
I1apples, tipped over on one side, with
tho fruit tumb1ing out, is q charming
bit OF embroidery decoration for q
screen. A large bunch of luscious
Strawberries laid over golden sweet
apple and egg-plum gives splendid
contrast Of colOrs, which is enhanced in
beauty by q cluster Of colored grasses
carelessly lying near the fruit on bit
OF turf. Flowers and fruit combined
form striking screen patterns. Make o

Gfoirc de Dion rose; tho cherry red
Douglass rose; a sprig Of feathered
hyacinth; lilac purple double anemo-
no, star-eyed daisies and bright yellow
buttercups, all massed together, resting
OH cluster OF Autumn leaves, with q
bit of blue sky slightly curved, and so
forming partial frame to this bright
little speck of Nature-a design that is
exceedingly picturesque.
