Art of Embroidery.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
II almost become convinced at times"
complained an elderly woman. who has
been in the habit of eking out a meagre
living by doing fine embroidery. that
embroidery is a lost art. Why, 1 used to
be praised all the time, and at the great
fairs and bazars my work usually received
the first prize. Imagine my feelings when
a piece, which 1 thought particularly fine,
this morning refused! And 1 saw a
number which had just been accepted. One
had the flowers done in cigar ribbons. In
another chiffon was used. But the fruit
designs were still worse. Little balls of
scarlet chenille figured as cherries, while,
as true as I'm sitting here in this chair,
grape vine design showed clusters Of
the fruit, and, If you'll believe me, those
grapes were not built up stitch by stitch,
but were mere buttons covered with silk!
And that is EMBROIDERY"

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.
By MAY MANTON.

Close-fitting bonnets, that protect the
head and ears, make the best of all head
coverings for tiny tots and for girls up to
six years of age. This very stylish and pref
ty model is effective in the extreme and is
suited to many materials. The f1aring brim
is an admirable feature, as it gives most
picturesque effect and allows the wearer
perfect freedom of outlook while it still
provides an ideal frame for the sweet child
ish face. In the case of the original the ma
terial is white bengaline with ties and trim
ming Of the material and an edge of beaver
fur, but all soft silks and wool fabrics are
appropriate.
The bonnet Is made over a close-fitted lin
ing, having round crown and smooth
fitted head piece. The outer head portion

crown, but is plain at the edges, where it
meets the brim and cape portions, both of
which are made double and arranged in
gathers. Within the brim is arranged a soft
double ruche of white silk that tapers
towards the ends. The ties are attached at
each side and effectually conceal the join

cht,d.. Faith In chanber,a,n.

Joseph Chamberlain, according to
the dispatches from London, is not at
the height of his popularity just now,
but his support in at least one district
school is unfaltering. A well known
school inspector had spent the best
part of an hour telling some youthful
learners in Birmingham Of the natural
beauties around them, and had closed
his talk with the question: Now, who
is it who makes these wonderful
things p Mr.. Chamberlain was the
instant response from little girl up
near the head Of the class. For a
moment the inspector was staggered.
Then he said: "But surely you don't
think Mr.. Chamberlain could make a
blade of grass? ?" Oh said the little
girl, with sudden conviction. sthen
you're pro-Boer."
