Tie newest thing in fancy work is Viennese

ried by introducing great variety OF lace like
stitches exquisitey fine and intricate. En-
brodery for napkins and serviettes is done
with exceedingly fine thread. employing the
lace.like stitches for the spaces between the
fine firm outlines Of the pattern. Very rich

An old rose brocade has it's pattern covered

embroideries Is that they are alike on both
sides. The Japanese do this sort of work. but

In millions of homes throughout the United States
and around the world the fact has been recognized
by appreciatve housekeepers that there is no other
leavening compound that can or does compete on
the basis of purity and strength with the Royal
Baking Powder.
Other compounds intended for baking purposes
made without science, of poor materials, at low
cost, depend for their restricted sale upon the pa
tronage of those who will use a greatly inferior
article if procurable at little lower price or upon
the recommendation of dealers whose selfinterest
urges the sale of goods yielding them the largest
profits
ROYAL BAKING POWDER ONLY sells and deserves
