AL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Some Simple but Effective Decorative
Work-Darned Backgrounds.

Work-Darned backgrounds.
Sofa pillows to be recommended 10 ladies
weary OF the elaborase constructions of
silk, plush. embroidery. etc, are made OF
fine twiIled linen material This sounds
plain enough and rs If il is not good enough
for the purpose, but cover il with wavy
pattern worked in back stitch with yellow
silk, embroider over this a bold pattern IN
conventional style. and the linen material
viii be found good enough for any pillow
in any room. The stitched background
has all the effect of fine quitting. and it is
pity that work is not more frequently
done in this style
For small articles about the house, such
as book covers, blotting cases, wall peck
cts and the like, revival Of the darned
backgrounds, once so popular, has taken
place. The design is merely outlined and
lightly filed in, and hence is doubly effect
i've against the darker and artistically
irregular stitches of the foundation. The
work Is easy, the workers attention being
1lainly required to keep the line of stitches
quite straight.
Very handsome covers for tables, sofa
pillows, etc, have come out in felt, the de-
sign for the embroidery in stamping and
perforation. with the cOlors TO be used in
the work suggested in the stamping.
Some Of the prettiest splashers for wash
stand backs are worked upon twilled ma
terial with coarse flax thread. They are
cut in the shape Of shield at the sides and
bottom, and have a deep hem along the
straight upper edge, through which a
smooth lath can be passed. The splasher
is then hung up by loop of cord and
handsome tassels.
