LINEN BAG.

These are to be decorated and fired and
then fitted with glass or bristles. The
thought is an excellent one and affords an
opportunity for making unique, valuable
INC useful gifts.
Small detached japanese heads have
been lately introduced for use in fancy
work. Both men and women are repre-,
shnted with long narrow eyes and real
teeth and hair. The heads are fastened to
wooden e which serve as a means of at
taching them to thermometers, pcnwipers,
pincushions and similar articles for which
they are employed as a decoration.
An illustration is given of a travelling
bng Of Flemish linen. 1t is embroidered
with black or red crewels in a cross stitch
pattern. The round end of the bag are
kept in shape by circles Of cardboard, ovcr
which the embroidered linen is stretched.
Plain linen forms the lining and body Of
the bag, which is gathered on double draw

Some of the Pointed Tapestries Are Fearful

Some of the Pointed Tapestries Are Fearful
and Wonderful.
Painted tapestry for curtains, wall
draperies and screens is very much in
vogue at present, and some of the speci-
mems shown are marvels, not of beauty,
but of ignorance of all Jaws of anatomy
and artistic effect. Figure subjects are al
most invariably chosen by the tapestry
painter, and nine times out of ten he or
she, as the case may be, proudly produces
a picture that would be a libel on q saw
dust stuffed wax doll. If you want a piece
Of painted tapestry, do not buy it until
you have consulted some capable artist
friend, and thus avoid the chance Of bur
dening yourself with an anatomical anach-
ronism that will make the we'll informed
person chuckle in his sleeve every time he
sees it. Courtesy often cOmpcls him to
listen in silence to the boastings of the
possessor of some outrageous piece of so
called artistic work, and he is divided be-
tween a desire to be appreciativc of the
thing shown him and his inability to
truthfully praise it.
Speaking Of painting, one of the latest
ideas is the selling of the backs of hand
mirrors, hair and clothes brushes and the
handles Of combs made of fine white china.
