EtheI'S Suggestions

Even if we are not sufficiently .painstak-
ing to attempt the somewhat depressing
task of embroidering borders on all our
towels, still some few might be dignife
with this special mark of attention, and

Of hiding their less Ornamental but more

The towel-rail in our bedroom looks all the
better for having a towel of a somewhat
larger size, unused and dainty embroid-
cred, thrown over the rest, and there is
nothing better for the purpose of deco
ration than the well-known Russian work
that is always so effective on washing

ton. Our Illustration shows part of the en-
larged design. The center star in the cir
cular design is worked nately with
red and white cotton in satn-stitch, the
triangular devices in the. two folio wing
circles are red and blue. the festoons red,
the three stem-stitch lines of the outer cir
Gle red, white and blue, the scallops of the
border blue, with small red points ia
satin stitch. The center point in
the square figure is red, with blue
stem-stitch rays. the intervals filed in with
clearinghouse stitches in white, and the
whole surrounded with waved red lines.
