had this TO say about the Spanish language
III we teach a modern language 10 our boys
teach Spanish the commercial language OF nearly
half the people Of this continent and with whom
we should have closer trade relations. A conti-
nent is opening up before the young men OF to-day
where Spanish only Is spoken. South and Central
America and Mexico are fields where North Amer
lean engineers and skilled workmen will follow in
the wake Of North American machinery and North
American manufacture.
Il was much impressed lately while In Venezuela
n occurred 10 me that trade with that country
was certainly handicapped by cur inability 10
speak Spanish. The trade Of that country is now
principally with France and Germany. and II we
are wise II will not remain So.

HOW TO PRESS EMBROIDERY PROPERLY.

In all cases OF embroidery on linen the work
should be carefully pressed when finished. and Il
Is important for every en,broiderer TO know how
this may be done In the simplest and safest man.
ner. SAYS The Womans Home Companion
The proper way to press the finished work is 10
lay the embroidery face down clean cloth
spread over an ironing blanket or TWO or three
thicknesses OF flannel place thin. dampened
then use q hot iron deftly the wet surface
until II is perfectly dry. steaming process Is
thus enxsn ndered, whereby the embroidered linen
is rendered smooth and the effectiveness OF the
work much enhanced.
