pretty embroidery for grandmothers
who have nothing in particular to
do. and teaches them new stitches that
are not too trying to the eye, while the
members do the darning and mending
that sometimes fall to the lot Of grand
mothers themselves. For inexpensive
work of this kind Mrs. Candace
Wheeler recommends all-over designs
of simple leaf and other patterns done
in darning stitch upon white twilleo
cloth with blue darning cotton, or white
cotton on blue denim. A bed cover OF
