DESIGN FOR LONG PANEL

the silk or wool Is roughened In its pass
age backward and forward thru the ma

convex position over the fingers, so that
the silk or wool in the needle shall be
looser than the ground. These rules
apply to all hand worked embroideries
and II carefully observed, will aid in not
pulling or pickering the work. The
simplest type of stitches that can be
worked in the hand are stem stitch, split
stitch, satin stitch, embroidery stitch,
buttonhole stitch, blanket stitch,
knotted stitch and French knots
bullion knot, the chain stitches, darning,
ETC. The different kinds Of stitches that
are generally worked in frame are en-

AA queen eVry day since I've
been in Europe. Over in Min
neapolis seems If body could
be pretty comfortable sittin'
on a throne til a crown on her head an
wearin' a white satin gown, but when
you're over here you fin out t you'd
be jes' as easy sittin' on a key Of dyna
mite. From Mary Queen of Scots in
Edinboro to Mary Antonnett in France
I've been sorry for ev'ry one, an when
Mrs. Gray reads to me outen her little
red book I'm glad an thankful I have a.
hat on my head, even If it didn't cos
more'n $685., stead of a crown.
1--WE went out to Mary Antonnett's
house yesterday an I jes couldn't blame
Mrs. Gray for all the hard things she said
bout the French people. They weren't
near so hard as I thought an judgin'
from the red book as they deserved.
II dunno as it was easy keepin' house
In Verseyes an dunno as blame Mary
Antonnett for wantin to get away from
it occasionally. Women are jes' the
same whether they're queens or not an
rye heard Mrs. Town say more'n once
It she'd die If she didn't get away from
home at least once a year. Seems If
when she does get away's tho she'd die
If she didn't get back. A body doesn't
begin to appreciate what they have till
they're away from 1t, an you get more
flatterfn view Of home hunderd miles
off n you do from acrosst the street I've
seen the palaces Of kings an queens an
the houses of lords an ladies since I've
been In Europe, but there isn't one 4

same.

Folks in 'Merica don't seem to realize
t people move In Europe, jes' as they do
in Minneapolis. Mrs. Gray says she'd
like to put bigger tax on address books
n souvenirs, for they make more trouble,
but dunno but It's tongues t ought to
be looked after. A bargains somethin'
a woman has to talk bout, an even a
man likes to tell where he can get his
cigars for nothin', seems If. ~
I made up my min after I'd been in

TRANSLATED CHRISTIAN BOOKS.

Mrs. Sarah F. Gerdiner, who died In the Cats
kills a few days ago, 1abored as a missionary in
India for twenty -four years. She headed the
movement against infant marriages, and sue
ceeded, after carrying the protest to the Eng
lish governn ant in having the lawful marriage
age raised to II years. She started school
for native women, and was for some time the
superintendent OF Or. Hoyt's great memorial hos
pital for the women OF India. Almost all Of the
books now in circulation in India which deal
with Christianity and are printed in the native
language are the result OF Miss Gardner's eff
forts. She translated stalker's Life Of Christ
and Simpsons 1.-THE Fact OF Christ which she
had published and sold thruout India at the
smallest possible price.

sidered good form from much
experience; or they are taken
from the old school in the South

may seem. quite, complicated, but are
quite worth the trouble Of puzzling out;
many are exceedingly effective In use,
as the silk Is generally all on the surface.

worked with tightly twisted cord on an
ecru ground Of linen, that had more than
two dozen different stitches, number of
which are given here. When cross bars
are given as a foundation, if they are in
tended not to show when the stitch Is
finished, they are best done in a fine
macre string, as it Is firm and smooth.

TWO HANDSOME BUILDINGS
New Campbell-Gibson Block Il
One of the Prettiest In Town.

A representative of the LIGHT was
yesterday escorted through the new
buildings of Measers. f. s. Camp
bell and &. w. Gibson on West
Franklin street. These buildings
are now receiving the finishing
touches of the carpenters and paint
ers. Mr.. &. w. Gibson, whom we
first encountered at the front of his
told us to place our No. los on the
top side of an electric elevator, and
at the same moment touched an
electric button and we were whizzing
through space to the second story.
To our surprise we found this upper
story already filled with wagons,
buggies and implements OF every
description. This story is large,
well finished, and will hold an inn
mense amount Of goods. On our
down trip. when about half down,
Mr.. Gibson suddenly, by some con-
triyance, stopped the elevator to
explain how safe it was, and must
confess | heayed a bigh of relief
when he again set the thing In
motion and Landed me safe on the
first floor.
The walls are high and the build
ing is well lighted by windows all
around. Gibson Bros. will soon
have their entire stock of groceries
and hardware moved in this elegant
new home.
In front OF Mr.. T.. :. Campbell's
building, adjoining Mr.. Gibson's
encountered this gentleman, and up
the stairway We hurried. The south
end of this building, upstairs, has
been rented to the Dunlap Rifles for
All armory, and this crack military
company, of whom we are all proud,
will have space enough here to drill
IL they so desire, without going
down into the streets. The front
or north end, Mr.. Campbell is ar
ranging into elegant law Offices.
The first floor is already occupied
by j =. Campbell n Co., the dry
goods merchants. The high walls,
with light streaming in from bottom
to top, makes this an elegant store
room for showing goods TO the best
advantage. Even an ordinary man
looks better In there, 20 say nothing
of the thousands OF good looking la-
dies who will now visit this empo-
rum While looking through with
Mr.. Campbell we actually imagin-
ed that we were somewhat improved
IN martial appearance.
Thesetwo handsome buildings cost
$is,000. They are both modern, mp
to-now buildings In every appoint
ment, and Waxahachie is fortunate
in having two such enterprising
citizens as Messrs. Gibson and
Campbell, who are not afraid Of the
future OF grand old Waxahaehie,
and are willing to invest their dollars
In Improvements Of this kind that
will be profitable to them and an
ornament to the business section OF
the city. INNOCENCE.
