The pretty tribes which have just ap-
peared have the merit Of being delicate
and fine without being SO perishable as
many that have gone before. The new
doilies are very simple things and easily
made by any n with a taste for fine
needlework. The drawings here repro
duced from the New York Times show
different designs, but these are made in
the same way. The materials needed
are dolly linen, a quality of the material
made expressly for such work, fine hon
iton braid and pnre white floselle. The
differences In the patterns depend upon
the way in which the braid is applied
and the varying combinations made
from its links. The linen costs 81 per
yard and is SO inches wide. The braid
varies in price, but a good quality and
much used can be bought for ID
cents a running yard.
To make a set, either all alike or COM
bining the different styles, buy three
quarters of a yard of linen and cut it into
eight inch squares. For the first design,
or the simplest styles Of all, haste the braid
neatly around all four sides. Then with
the floselle buttonhole the outer edge in
fine points and the inner edge with small
stitches, which follow exactly the outline
of the braid. When the edge is COM

pleted, haste two sections of the braid in
each corner, SO as to form a small square,
and buttonhole both edges of all with
fine stitches, like those upon the inner
line of braid which makes the border.
With very sharp scissors cut away the
linen that lies beneath the braid, and
also that within the square formed at
each corner. Fill in the latter spaces
with the familiar drawn work stitch
known as the wheel, executed in silk,
and when all four are finished the dolly
will be complete.
To make the second design first work
the simple edge, then haste on the braid,
as the drawings show, and fill in the
spaces with the wheel or other fancy
stitches. The whole principle is involved
in the basting and stitching of the braid.
Once that is understood and a simple
border made it is easy to enlarge and
elaborate the patterns as desired. The
fact that the braid is made in sections
makes combination a simple thing.

BOYS BRIGADE FAIR A SUCCESS.

The fair of the Second Jersey City Company.
Boys Brigade, which closed on Saturd ~ nj ght
at the First Presbyterian Church was a big
success. 1t ran for three days and when it
closed there was scarcely a thing left 10 the
booths but the decorations. The young soldiers
have not yet determined how much they have
made on the bazaar, but il is probably consider
able, and will be enough to get taem the over
coats and real guns they are longing for. They
ere tired of drilling with make believe guns.
After the guns and the overcoats are paid for,
If there is any money left over. it will be turned
into the treasury. The contest bstween the
officers Of the brigade for q sword and belt was
won by Captain Wightman of the Second Com
pany.
The Fourth Company Boys Brigade will soon
have a fair for the purpose Of raising money for
uniforms and equipments, and it is hoped that
they will make as big o success Of II as the
Second Company have with theirs.
