broken before the hose were finished.

Now that every woman in minneapolis
owns at least one shirtiwaist which she
has corefully and laboriously embroidered
there is rage for hand work on hose and
wells and the indefatigable embroiderer
has taken up her needle again. The craze
for fine needlework has not subsided by
any means, and since 1t has touched every
other article of feminine apparel, it was
bound to reach stockings and wells sooner
or later. That Is why the girl at the
porch parties and thimble bees, both in
the city and at the lake, always carries a
pair of lisle thread or silk hose or a
length of chiffon in her dainty work bag.
The stockings that are being embellished
are not all to be worn, by the embroiderer,
for in place of the dozen embroidered
handkerchiefs with which a girl used to
present her t1ance as an outward sign OF
their betrotha1 she now makes him

decorated with roses and forget-me-nots,
and she is a lucky maiden If she does not

has been made, that John or William Will
not wear silk hose.
"It is perfectly ridiculous to pay 81 or
SO for pair of embroidered stockings,
when you can do, them yourself for 90
CENTS" explained one of the energetic
needlewomen, with her forehead wrinkled
over forget-me that would not come
