A pale brown etamine is profusely
trimmed with square appliques OF
cluny lace, set on point to point down
the front of the blouse, and in double
row down the front panel of the skirt,
n narrow breadth. In the centre Of
each lace applique is little circular
tuft of robins egg blue plush like the
iris of n peacock's feather in shape.
The lace squares are all outlined with
golden-brown chenille. in up-and-down
stitch, which makes an interrupted
border for the entire series. The up"
stitch is long, and that beneath the lace
surface is short. The chenille is drawn
through before the lace squares are
sewed down on the frocks.

Ger immaculate floors; nor could cookies

For her house was like "wax.work" within

Would bring on something akin to a tit.
And tidy or picture trifle awiy
Could never escape her most diiigent eye.
Her children grew up and they hurried

As soon as they could, scarcely caring to

Where brooms were a.whisling; they
sighed for a nest.
Still neat but inviting a spirit of rest.
And the day when the last OF her little
