Fancy Work For Personal Wear.

Muslin appears to be growing greatly
in favor for art needlework. Many
workers use muslin as a foundation or
ground upon which to paint. When
backed or lined with a good satin the
sheen of the rich material shows very
effectively through, and a table centre
can be daintily finished with puffings
or frills of chiffon. Also an overlay
of muslin is useful in softening or ton
ing down any hard or metallic effect,
such as is given by moire silk, etc.
A new kind of work is lace royal and
here We have muslin over net as a
foundation or material to work upon.
Large collars and trimmings for dresses
in this are really charming. A grace
full design in violets and leaves was
traced and then finely embroidered in
delicate tints with filo-hoss silk, the
outline or shape of collar was closely
buttonholed with silk, and the raw
edges then cut neatly away. The ef-
feet of net under the muslin is good,
and while it gives additional strength,
at the same time does not detract from

like trimming for collar and cuffs. OF
course, any shape or style can be de-
signed with endless variations as to
flowers and coloring. Heather is a
charming little flower to embroider
where lightness Is desired, its green
sprigs and dainty flower heads are so
quickly and easily done. Where blue
shade is required, cornfowers and tiny
daisies and buttercups are pretty.
\ very fine but exceedingly firm mus
lin is supplied for table centres. etc,
and one OF this material seen recently
was embroidered with carnations, fine
ly worked with n single thread of silk,
and beautifully shaded In flo-foss.

Yellow We're loosely tied together with
narrow blue ribbons, also embroidered,
and the edges of the centre closely but
tonholed with blue silk to match the
ribbon.
Before working, take the design Gf
the work is bought ready designed,
trace the design upon paper, and, af-
ter deciding on the colors. roughly
paint them in and you will then see if
you like the effect beforehand. Also
where leaves and petals have to be
curved or turned, paint or pencil in the
shade and trace the direction in which
the stitches should go; this is of great
assistance, particularly sketching the
direction the stitches should taken, as
it avoids unpcking.-New York Com.

How to Sit and Rise.

''My DEAR" said the old lady, sit is
worse than crime; 1t is i'll bred"
Nothing points out the well bred
woman more quickly than the position
she takes when she sits down. The
stamp of vulgarity is marked upon the
woman who sits with her knees spread
far apart; lack of refinement is shown
by knees crossed Extensively; lack of
ease by stiff and constrained positions
of the shoulders; a general carelessness
and Indifference by the very common
fault of "sitting in the shoulders" that
is, of doubling up the spine so that the
upper rather than the lower part Of it
rests against the back Of the chair.
The body should be placed well back
upon the seat, chair, sofa or whatever
1t may be. The feet should rest on the
floor, one somewhat in front of the
other, because 1t is easier to rise from
that position. The head must be kept
well up and the chest poised slightly
forward.
\ The lower part Of the spine may be

Rescued by an Owl.

King Robert the Bruce, according to
the well-known story, once owed his
safety to a spider. Among the Tar
tars of Central Asia there is belief
that one of their khans or chiefs was
preserved. long years ago, by the
Great Horned Owl. He had hidden in
thicket to avoid capture by some
enemies. By ana by his pursuers
came to this spot. The first thing they
saw was an owl sitting en- a bush.
What did this mean? 1t signified in
their eyes that this bird would not
rest quietly there if any man were
lying concealed close by. Therefore
they argued that tho khan could not
be there, and so they hurried on to
search for him elsewhere. At night
fall the khan made his way to the
camp of his men, and told them how
he had been saved from certain death.
His story caused them ever afterward
in look upon the owl with reverence
and love. They wore it's feather in
their caps as pledge of victory.

To develop the neck the first move
ment consists in allowing the head to
drop gently upon the breast, as far for
ward as it will without straining. Next
raise the head and throw 1t as far back
rs possible. Then forward again, etc,
until the movement has been per-
snormed twenty times. Next the head
is turned as far to the side as possible,
the body remaining motionless. the
head bent toward the shoulder as low
as II will reach without an actual strain
of the muscles and tendons. This
movement should be practised also
twenty times, the neck first turned to
the right and then to the left, ten times
on each side. The same movement

bic, repeated In the same fashion, first
toward the right then the left.

pressed against the fran. Of the chalp,
but If one, after sitting a while, should
need to rest little more, the shoulders
may also touch upon the same sup
port. The hands should remain as
they naturally fall from this position,
hanging at the sides, or they may be
placed easily over the arms or back Of
the chair or allowed to lie reposefully
on the lap.
To rise properly from a correct sit
ting position there should be several
preparatory movements.
The chest is first poised far forward
and at the same time the foot is drawn
back under the scat. The foot drawn
in should be the one opposite from the
direction to be taken in starting up.
AS you rise throw the weight firmly
upon the foot in the rear. As the body
comes to it's full height change the
weight to the forward foot, so that the
other foot merely touches the floor
very lightly. This brings you to a
standing position, ready to walk easily
in the direction you are going.
Ugly sitting positions and awkward
movements in rising will disappear if
these principles are followed. - New
York Herald.

A Fine Woman Whip.

Lady Howe is one of the best whips
IN England, and is one of the very few
women who can drive a high-mettled
team gracefully and successfully in the
streets of London. That she is an au-
thority on driving is proved by her
being asked to contribute chapter to
the volume of "The Badminton Ii
brary," dealing with that subject. An
other Of Lady Howe's fortes is cleo
tioneering, an art in which her sister,
in-law. Mrs. George Corvallis West
formerly Lady Randolph Churchill
excels. These two women secured the
late Lord Randolph Churchill's election
ito Woodstock in 1885 without his going
near the place.

he says. should provide for a high
degree Of publicity as regards the or

seemed wise, forbid determinations in
prices or make any other conditions
that seemed reasonable" This meas

act that would accomplish this result.
