Blue Holland shades, with insertion
aud edge of antique lace make a pleas
ing change from the red ones viii ch are
and have been SO popular. These shades
are especially adapted for windows in
doors, and for bedroom windows. Like
the scarlet ones, they do not show dust,
and wear as we'll as white or cream color
ed ones do. Under white muslin curtains
i'll Il bedroom curtains of common turkey
red calico not only answer well for a lin
ing, and give softened light to the room,
but are durable also, us they can be wash
ed without fading.
Tarlatan is much better to emoroider on
than paper, even than the thinuest kind ;
the tarIatan can be drawn ont a thread AZ Il
time, so there is less danger Of disturb
ing the embroidery. The design may be
transferred to the tarlatau by means OF
impression paper Have the design neat
ly and carefully drawn on tracing paper.
then put the impression paper between
this and the tarIatan, then go over every
line and dot with a sharp pencil. In tins
way you save the expense OF stamping,
and the cost of the paper is trihiug. Ii
you are able to make original designs
you can ust them to good advantage. This
