THE ART OF DARNING WELL

How seldom it is one finds an Amer
lean woman who can darn! says a
writer in the Chicago Record Herald.
AS a rule what ought to be really
beautiful work is carried out in a
rough and ready sort of way, and the
garment so mended is entirely spoiled
by the cobbling the careless worker
is all too apt to make.
There are. indeed, a whole host of
ways of darning.
Perhaps the best of all for stocking
and stockinette materials is the web
stitch.
This the French woman. as a rule,
and the German woman always, can
carry out so perfectly that it is quite
impossible to tell where the hole COM
mences and the darning ENDS.
1t is arranged by making a founda-
ton of wool or angola. as the case
may be, from side to side of the hole.

the other.
The matter is quite a simple one, and
only needs practice.
Children can very easily be taught

even pick UP the threads more quickly

likelihood of some aggrieved waiter,
when he found a lady secretng a
spoon or fork accusing her there and
then and making a scene. which would
do infinite injury to the hotel.
1T is curious fact, and yet perhaps
not curious, that this thievng is COM
mitted mostly by women. Many ladies
have q complete record of their jour
neyings for years in pieces of silver,
cut glass, table napkins and towels
picked up on the quiet at hotels where
they have registered for a few nights.
These things, of course, are not taken
because they are needed. 1t is consid-
cred joke, and women find much
amusement in comparing notes and eX
hibiting their trophies, even in the pres
ence of servants, and the bad effect this
must have on a class who might per-
haps be forgiven for occasionally help
ing themselves to a few souvenirs |
leave you to judge.
AT this hotel | have known asfmany
as 300 spoons and the same number
of forks disappear in a single month.
When breakfast is sent up to room,
especially If it should happen to be
lady, the serVietteS seldom return. They
have been kept as souvenirs and when
the manager is told he simply shrugs
his shoulders and puts the items down
IN his loss account.
when Prince Henry visited the
States last year l had a friend who
was engaged for one of the banquets
which was given in the Princes honor.
The caterer was all but ruined not from
any failure on the part of the guests
to pay for their dinners, but simply
from the fact that besides making
hearty meals they grabbed and pocket
ed everything made of silver on which
they could lay their hands They were
souvenir collectors and desired some re-
membrance of the interesting occasion
and never thought of the loss such
wholesale robbery would prove to the
poor caterer, Then, you will remem-

Every portable object in the royal

couple. He told the Prince what had
