Hand Work EyeryMhera.

1t is astonishing what q quantity of
hand work one sees on street clothes
nowadays. Everywhere one comes
across bits of the most elaborate EN-.
broidery, in vests, cuffs and collars,
black being introduced with deep
reds, blues and yellows with superbly
decorative result. Sometimes the en-
bfoidery is in the Russian cross-stitch,
with the rich tan of the coarse canvas
upon which it is worked showing at
tervals. This, in red and black, is
very chic on flannel shirtwaists in
solid colors, the embroidery forming
collar, cuffs, button band and belt.
Some very rich hand embroidery in
gold and black threads appears on 4
bolero which is copied from late
French gown. This costume is as as.

Art of Piano Drnpinc.

An excellent way for screening the
unsightliness of the back Of an up.
right piano when turned away from
the wall, as all pianos of that design
should be, to improve the tone and
prevent singers facing the wall, is
One In which three-paneled screen
is hung on rod attached to the back
Of the piano at the top.
The screen is made of three panels
CT black satin embroidered in gold
thread after the style of Japanese
screens, the panels being laced to-
gether with gold cord drawn through
small brass rings sewed at intervals
Of two inches on the edge of the satin,
ending in gold tassels at the bottom.
The whole thing is then edged with a
heavy black silk or gold cord. The
effect Is uncommon and adds much to
the furnishing of drawing room or
music room, especially where the room
admits of the piano being placed at
one end, with the keyboard facing the
wall.
Other material may be used, al
ways selecting something of simple
decorative pattern or one to match
the other hangings Of the room. In
Paris draperies are made especially
for this purpose, but there is danger
of having them too close and heavy,
thus deadening the tone of the instru-
ment.-Washington Star.

Raas of Fine Discrimination.

Morelia has some other odd things.
for example, the sweetmeat-stands un-
der the portales, or arcades, where
friendly bees and wasps devoured the
candies, and were not scared off. l
asked an old woman sitting behind a
large stand, loaded with candied fruit,
dulces of all sorts, sugar-plums, and
molasses candy:
won't these bees sting fellow?"
ooh, NO, senior, don't be afraid; they
are muy inteligentcs, and can tell Gus
toner right off !"
"But would they sting thief, for
instance?"
Certainly, senior; they are very in
telligent. Poor things, they do no
harm and are much company. They
must live"
watched these winged insects with
all their panoply of war ready, and was
fascinated. Then l asked another ques-
ton:
"But would not a Morelian bee sting

apropos of Clothes,

A Japanese woman of rank has come
to America to study dress reform. 1t
is rather odd that women in the Far
East should wish to copy our modes,
just as the Western women are COM
ling to the conclusion that the Japan
ese have solved the problem of truly
artistic and comfortable female habill-
ments. 1t is pity for the almond
eyed beauties Of the Flowery Kingdom
to vulgarize themselves by wearing
! Partisan clothes Can no one stop the
sacrilege, for sacrilege it really seems
to be, by convincing the court women
of Japan that they would make the
mistake of their lives if they should
allow their beautiful and picturesque
national costume to go out Of exist

HonseWorls Costumes.

A teacher of physical culture, asked
by the present writer if women could
make housework easier by knowl-
edge of how the muscles ought to be
used. said, Eyes, most decidedly"
1T is not" she explained, because
household labor can be done very diff
ferently, but by knowing how to rest
in breathing spells between such work
and by dressing hygienically. If pub
lie opinion would not forbid, I would
declare for every woman doing house
work in a gymnasium suit adopted
1t years ago, and know number Of
women who wear it when they sweep
or scrub. At house cleaning time it is
genuine emancipation. Watch II

pictures readily and with little effort.
At o'clock the woman is completely
tagged, her skirts are draggled and
dirty and score of times through
the day she has been in danger OF
breaking her neck. If you should
once sweep or scrub in bloomers you
would never do the job again in skirts
if you had to lock every door and draw
down the shades. Of course a ring at
the doorbell would throw woman
into panic unless custom were to
sanction the gymnasium suit Women
must dc the next best thing, wear a

waist. Corsets should never be worn
at work; it makes every task more
toilsome because the greatest free
dom of movement is required If alb
solutely necessary, don a loose, un-
boned waist or L bust supporter. Then
lay aside tight collars, which compress
the neck as uncomfortably as a corset
does the body. The high, close collar
which has been in vogue is to blame
for throat troubles, and if women
could only be brought to believe it,
they are running their necls. Ugly
wrinkles and darkened skin are in
evitable results of shutting from the
throat every breath Of fresh air.

Making surarp,um, for a Living

A certain New York confectioner
used to run a free cooking class in
connection with his candy shop and
catering business. The cooking class
was in reality a clever way to adver-
tise his chocolate. The principal
items Of the cookery lessons were
chocolate creams, chocolate cakes and
chocolate to drink. Of course, all
these things were evolved from the
confectioner's own unsurpassed chec.
olate, and its name and its superiority
were dinned into the ears Of the pupils
of the cooking class until they finally
left in despair. The dissolution of the
school followed Nevertheless the
popularity it achieved, in spite of its
limitations and drawbacks, showed
how prosperous such school might
be if properly run. In London there
is a flourishing confectionery estab-
lishment run entirely by women, and
a school for would-be confectioners.
is run in connection with the ordinary
business. The students meet in a
bright, clean kitchen, equipped with
copper saucepans, marble slabs and
porcelaine pipkins. They wear big
aprons and white mob-caps and their
sleeves are rolled uD tC the elbows.
Some OF these pupils are ambitious to
become managers of similar establish
meIts OF their own The concern in
question is carried on in connection
with a restaurant and tea room, and
since tea rooms are often managed
by women, pupils from such estab-
lishments are coming in increasing
numbers to this confectionery school.
One course, in which only two pupils
can be taken at time, includes the
making of cakes, sweets, ices, book
keeping and shop management. All
the latest inventions of the confec-
toner's art are mastered by these
women as readily as they appear, for
they find it necessary in this, as in
every field of work, to keep abreast
of the times.-New York Commercial

HOW CUT GLASS is MADE.
No Way of Closely Initiating This 8eau.
tifu Ware.

The best glass for cutting purposes
is flint glass, made very thick. This
flint glass is made at different factories
and is extremely heavy Despite the
fact that in cutting out the design half
the raw article is removed, a finished
bowl OF jar of moderate size will
weigh as much as six or eight pounds.
The work is done by holding the OBJ
ject at just the right angle against a
swiftly moving wheel on a lathe, the
glass being kept wet by stream OF
water. The first work in the process
is to mark the design on the glass
with a pigment, and after the glass is
deeply Cit along the lines traced the
pattern is gradually developed. Nat
urally, the tracing being quickly re-
moved, the greater part OF this deli
cate work depends upon the correct
ness OF the eye and hand OF the work
man.
The cutting is first done coarscly
and incomplctely, this work being
known as roughing. The roughing is
done on what is termed a steel mill set
in a lathe. water being used to aid in
wearing away the hard glass. Then
comes the process OF smoothing, which
is accomplished by means OF rapidly
revolving stone. The final process Of
polishing is done by means OF wood
en- wheel. Considerable glass is re-
moved in the process OF smoothing, so
that in the roughing-in process care is
taken not to make the cutting too
deep.
Cut glass is particularly liable to
brcakagc on account OF the difference
in its thickness. 1t may be half an
inch thick in one place and only an
eighth OF an incl, thick il another, and
as variations OF tcmpcra lire naturally
cause the different thickncsscs to cx-
pand at different rate, cracks, are Ii
able to follow.
One OF the chief beauties OF cut glass
to those who can afford to pay for it
lies in the fact that it is impossible to
counterfeit or initiate it.
