DECORATIVE NOTES.


spoons, Curios, NeedIework and Other
Fancies.
A novel design for a spoon is made
from silver dollar. The central por.
ton is pressed down to form shallow
bowl, and yet retain the circular shape
of the dollar. To this bowl is attached
a fancy handle.
A new fad of socie ty women is a Chi
ucse corner in the drawing-room Or IL
brary In it stands cabinet of teak
wood, holding all sorts of Chinese
curios Over it hang curious pictures,
ard beside it is Canton screen, while
a Thibetan divan TANKS the whole.
Needlework now in vogue among
young women is piece of cloth, rib
bon or silk, to match favorite gown.
The cross stitch, wrought over canvas,
which is pulled out, thread by thread,
eftcr the embroidery is finished, is here
introduced. 1t is also used in conven-
tional patterns, on alternate square
blocks of coarse linen, for bed spreads.
The intervening block is wrought in
intcrsecting circles in outline stitch.
This work is not trying to the eyes,
and the spreads are very durable.
A housekeeper fertile in resources

and were quite novelty, whatever be

French knot of yellow, and the leaves
and stems are worked with olive green.
The only really peculiar fact about
this special design is the color used for
the tiny buds that tip each spray.
These in place of being worked with
blue, as they ordinarily are, were
copied direct from nature, and show
faint old pink tint.
The cover is made with broad hem
stitched hem on all four Sides The
opening is at the back, and closes with
buttons and buttonholes. Stray bios
SONS are scattered along the hem and
frill Of fine torchon lace completes the
whole.
The embroidered linen should DO
laundried before the lace is whipped
off.
But the baises and the pinks shown
upon the pillows in the second illustra-
ton are worked upon sheer linen
lawn and are used, respectively, over
slips of pink and blue silk, which give
them cast Of color, but they are Of
themselves pure, unlimited white.
The daisies are worked with cream
white silk and have standings of pale
green gray. The centers are fine
French knots, done with yellow, and
the stems, calyxes and leaves are all
olive green. The ribbon is blue, of the
same shade as the silk slip, and Is
worked solid with single thread Of
floselle. The edge Of the cover Is
finished with fine frill of the lawn.
The pinks are all worked il old pink
and the slip is of the same shade. The
combination so formedof soft, delicious
pink with the tender, pale olive green
of the leaves is effective. Like the
daisy pillow, 1t is finished with frill.
The pillow which shows rosebuds
and Is given in the first drawing is
made like the first, of fine white linen.
The flowers are tied with pale pink
ribbon. 1t has broad hem cat
stitched with pale olive green, like
that used for the leaves, and the rib
bon is made to Irvine about in graceful
curves.
All the work is solid, and oil Is done
with a single thread of filoselle.-N.
