DESIGN FoR END OF SCARE.


companying information relates only to
the Italian renaissance, which was the
original The renaissance embroideries
chime in delightfully."- with the prevail
ing fondness for empire designs in all
schemes of household decoration.
A beautiful design for the end of
scarf, originally sketched for The La
dies Home Journal, is adapted to
| width of 10 to 81 inches. This design
will appear to the best advantage if
worked ill outline stitch, although if
found practicable it or parts of It may
be worked solid. If parts only are to be
worked solid, the small ones should be
selected, such as the leaves to tho vines.
the wheat at the center and the pearls
forming the garland. After deciding the
size of the scarf, draw one-half of the
design, and after tracing it ON cloth,
transfer to the linen. A good size for
scarf on which to embroider this design
Will be 20 inches wide, and if for
bureau, long enough to allow the ends
to hang down far enough over the ends
of the bureau top SO the entire design
may be shown. Three-quarters of an
inch i'll from the edges draw a few
threads and form line of fagot stitch
ing; let this cross the scarf near either
end 5 = inches in from the ends of the
material. The same margin of plain
material should be left below the fagot
stitching at either end as that along the
sides of the scarf.
By fringing out the linen at either
end and working a line of buttonhole
stitching and knotting the fringe good
finish can be obtained. Many other and
more elaborate ways of forming the
ends can, of course, be carried out by
those who have ideas of their own, but
the point Of the illustration is to show
a classic renaissance design well adapt
ed to ornament the ends of scarf or
one that may be employed quite as well
to adorn the lower end of handsome
portiere. Several features of the design
may be adapted to other pieces of en-
broidery work quite as we'll as to a scarf
end.
The manner in which round dolly,
or centerpiece, is fringed is thus ex-
planned for the benefit of readers who
are not acquainted with the method by
the authority already quoted:
The linen must be cut square and
pinned on a smooth board; with a pen
Gil compass describe the desired dame
ter of the centerpiece, including the
fringe; inside of this draw another cir
Gle to indicate the width of the fringe.
This inner circle must be stitched round
on the machine, and after the design is
embroidered the linen cut ON the outer
circle and fringed down to the stitching
at each of the four points where straight
threads are shown. When that is done,
the remaining threads may be pulled
round with needle, and so the circle
of fringe is formed. The machine stitch
ing can then be removed and the edge
of the material buttonholed or hem

DRAPERY COVERED WALLS.

Directions by which Cretonnes, Silk and
Wooden Goods May BE Employed.
In hanging walls Will, drapery fabrics
the first step is to measure the rooms
for the covering. The room must be
furred all round the top of tie rails and
round the top of the Dashboard, man
tells, doors and windows, with double
Turing up and down in each corner, one
piece for each section. Fur also around
the gas pipes, removing the brackets SO
that the covering can be put over the
pipe. Use pine Turing one-quarter of an
inch thick and 2 inches wide, put on
with French wire nails.
If there is to be frieze or dado,
there will have to be Turing where this
joins the body of the wall
Cut the goods off for each section,
matching the figures, and press the seams
before lacking on. Each section, or that
portion lying between two corners, is to
be made and put Oh separate from the
others. No corners can be turned with
whole goods except those projecting into
the room. In cutting the goods, atten-
ton should be paid to 1he figures, to
show them to the best advantage. If at
all conspicuous, bring tho center figure
into the middle of each section Tho
goods are to be tackled on fat-that is.
without turning under, IS the molding
or gimp would not fit so well over them
Stretch tightly along the top and bot
tom and stretch over and tack to the
corner furrings at each side Keep the
lacking close to the angles, so it can be
easily covered by tho gimp, cord or
and tack them to tho center of the space
Draw over to tho corners each way and
use plumb line to get the seams and
breadths exactly perpendicular, and be
careful not to stretch the top and bot
tom SO much that the sides will not
come over far enough to make the seams
straight. The fabric should all be got
into place with stay lacks before the
final lacking on.
If silk or other thin material is used,
the walls must first be covered with
strong cotton cloth, tackled on tho same
as tho outside covering, only not SO close
to the angles. If the wall covering is to
be plated instead of being put on fiat,
liberal allowance must be made for
the plaits, not over double the quantity
being required, and often less, accord
ing to the texture of the goods and the
manner of plating.
All the lacking is to be covered with
molding, gimp, cord or other trimming.
Gimp or cord trimming can be fastened
on with glue better than any other
method. Use cold fish glue as being
more convenient and safer to handle
than hot glue Tack one end of the gimp
firmly in the corner, glue only as much
of the gimp or trimming at one time rs
can be handled conveniently; use the
glue literally. Smooth the gimp care
fully in its place and secure it with
tacks, which are to DO removed when
the glue is set There are other methods
for fastening the trimmings, such as
tacks with large heads covered with
goods, etc.
Cretonnes are now put on with paste
similar to paper hangings, but for silk
or wooden goods Turing and lacking is
the only method, according TO Painting
and Decorating, authority for the fore
going.

Respect the New Broom,

OF course you want broom to last as
long as possible, SO always select one
which has a lingo of green about it.
Never mind if it has an 'arsenicy" cast,
it shows that the broom corn was cut
when it was plant and young and
tough, so it will last twice as long as
one of sickly yellow hue This item is
from New England Homestead, and so
is the hint about leaving the new broom,
when not in use, sprawled out to mat
and get out of shape Hang up a broom,
new or old, as soon as you have finished
sweeping. When a new broom comes
into the house, keep it always for ..up
stairs and down stairs and in my lady S
chamber use, assigning the old one to
duty Just grade lower.

secret Of cood T,e,nonade.

The secret of good lemonade, accord
ing to II correspondent of the New York
Times, is making it with freshly boiled
water. For quart of lemonade take the
juice of lemons, using the rind of one
of them. Be careful to peel the rind
very thin, getting just the yellow out
side; then cut into pieces and put witt,
the juice and powdered sugar, of which
use two ounces TO the quart, in n jug or
jar with cover. When the water is just
at the tea point, pour it over the lemon
and sugar, cover at once and let it get
cold Try this way once, and you will
never make it any other way.

Painted Woodwork.

We have heard the argument used
time and again that painting the wood
work of an apartment is an affected, ar
tificial form which should be tabooed !;
that nothing is better than the natural
finish of the wood. We wish to empha
size that, however such theory may
have arisen, it is, viewed from deco
rative standpoint, totally wrong The
woodwork of room should be as much
subserved to the conditions of harmony
as anything else.
It is all very well to have dark cherry
colored mahogany, or imitation mahog
any, or wood of this color and leave
them in the natural tints, but it neces
states treating the walls and furnish
ings with delicate olive green or sub
dued blues to properly harmonic. But
If other colorings are required in room
it is absolutely necessary to change the
character of the woodwork If room
is done in rose color, warm yellow or
aalmons, it may seem like wanton waste
to do it but, we say, paint over the
mahogany an Ivory white. The man
who insists upon keeping his woodwork
the natural color must subjugate all else
to it Color Is even moro important

case deep mourning, wooden fabrics and
Grape are worn for q year, silk and lace
for three months and half mourning for
three months.
At the beginning of mourning long
dress should be worn in the house with
headdress of Grape. The English wild
owls cap, with small, white diadem,
is in favor just now. Trimmings of
white batiste are also worn on the
sleeves and at the neck. They are pleas
anter wear than black Grape trimmings
Mourning for father or mother, ia
therin-law or mother-in-law, should be
worn IL months-six months wool and

THE RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS
AMERICA WILL INSIST ON THE
RECOGNITION OF OLD
TREATIES.
FRENCH CONTROL COMPLETE
Madagascar Would Be an UncOm-
Portable Place for Waller to
Return To.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-Today's
dispatch giving particulars Of the
treaty between France and NADIA
gaScar conveyed the first details of
the convention to the state depart
nent which had been received there.
The officials expressed much interest
in the question, but declined to be
quoted in the absence of the full
text. 1t may be given, however, as
the general opinion in the depart
ment that, according to the terms
of the agreement SO far as given,
the French have succee ded in max
ing their own terms with Madagas-
car, and that the protectorate for
which it provides really amounts to
making Madagascar a dependency
of the French republic. 1t confirms
and extends the claims of the French
under the treaty of 1885, and abso-
lutely nullifies the protocol to that
agreement, which the Malagassy
government claimed so modified the
treaty as to give them absolute con-
troll over their internal affairs. The
French government never recog-
nized the binding effect Of this prot
ocol, Notwithstanding it was nego-
tiated by the French plenipoten-
tiary.
The United States has remained
neutral on this point, apparently
leaving the course to be pursued
