Hints and suggestions for Their Help and
Guidance.


A few suggestions to amateur en-
broiderers may be useful--especially in
regard to the pressing which is no un-
important part Of the work. Work done
on frame is usually straighter and
less apt to be puclsered than that done
over the fingers; but even then fine
linen will often draw little under
close embroidery unless done by a
skilled worl1woman. If the embroid.
cred arti Gle you wish to press be of
linen use IL table or board made very
soft by several thickncsses of blankets,
and covered with a clean white cloth.
Lay your work upon it, wrong side up
Gnd be careful to keep the edges very
straight. Dampen a sponge and rub
gently over the article until it is quite
wet and press witha a hot iron, which
should be most carefully tested to see
that it will not scorch, and also that it
IS absolutely clean and smooth. If there
Is any uncertainty about the condition
of the iron put "a damp cloth over the en-
broidery and press through that.
Embroidery done with floss or silk
should be kept as neat as possible, SO
that washing may not be necessary at
first; for, while the floss may be war
ranted to wash land indeed most of it
does retain its color perfectly unless
done by one unaccustomed to that sort
Of thing, there is danger of the en-
broidery becoming roughened and the
threads pulling. Work done on silk or
satin must be pressed with cooler iron
Than on linen, for it is more liable to
scorch-and besides many colors of silk
fade from TOO great heat. 1t cannot be
| hampened, either, as that would stiffen
the silk; but If the embroidery is heavy
and the work puckered badly, the en-
broidery itself may be moistened slight.
