loose grained and sinewy and the fat
white and shining. The third is duh
red, the lean loose grained and sinewy
and the fat yellow. The fourth is
bright cherry red. the lean smooth and
medium grained, with fecks of white

white nor yellow. The first Of these IS
COW beef. the second. bull beef; the
third. beef from an old or i'll condi-

Strainer and Lifter-To Know

Ticking Is one of the most effective
and inexpensive foundations for the
sofa pillows decorated with sporting
devices which are so popular Cream
colored ticking makes an excellent
background for a golfing figure ia
Scotch plaids and bright reds. A
yachting design is pretty on pale blue
or white ticking background. Ten
mis- or any other form Of sport may be
made the subject for interesting sofa
pillow decoration.
Linen and denim in various shades
are fashionable pretty and clearly.
Heavy drab colored cotton embroid-
cred with an American Indians head
in bright colors and finished with bead
work is extremely picturesque.
Turkey red linen with white corona
ton braid sewed on SO as to form n
plaid effect and finished with rufile
of red ribbon around the border makes
a satisfactory pillow. Equally good is
green pique with a conventional pat,
tern in silk embroidery and feather
stitch braid Green art denim makes
n good background for an embroidered
wild rose pattern. An exceedingly eff
fective pillow may be made by en-
broidering neutral shaded cotton with
a peacock pattern in the natural colors
of the birds plumage. Almost all OF
these designs can be bought all ready
to work at the art shops. Covers for
sofa pillows should be provided with
buttons and buttOnholes concealed by n
flap, so that they can he taken off
