ways get number OF women to employ
her services for certain hours III the day
or evening, and may also teach class

tainingly.
The woman who is an accomplished
housekeeper seldom realizes that she is
just the one thing that numerous house
holds covet, and that her life may lie IN
easy places if she only turns her accom-
plishment to account in the right
channels.
Once young doctor went about adj
vising all his patients to do embroidery.
why don't you learn to ernbtoider!
said he. 1T is just the thing you re-
quire to occupy your mind without over
taxing 1t, and it does not require any
effort. 1t is much better for you than
exciting yourself, reading, or sitting
about brooding over your Ill health.
Presently all the women he attended
were lndustriously making pink silk roses
on linen centerpieces. That struck him
as being the triumph OF embroidery.
Then some of them began to inquire into
the doctors reasons for advising en-
broidery. Crochet is twice as easy"
said they, and not half as fatiguing.
1t was discovered that the doctor had

The Photograph Handkerchief.

Now it is the photograph handker-
chief. Already some very pretty collec-
tons have been made, and besides, scores
of pretty articles of house decoration
have been constructed out of them. The
photograph handkerchief lends itself to
a variety of usese.
As its name implies, it is a photograph
on handkerchief Although for some
little time heads have been reproduced
on satin cushion covers for screens and
the like, not until now has it been DOS
sible to go into photograph gallery
and have ones picture taken on a hand
kerchief.
The uses to which these handker-
chiefs may be put are many, not the
least interesting of which is to make
the cover of sofa or divan cushion in
ones own room of squares of linen on
which the likenesses of ones best friends
appear. Or there may be a series of
poses of just one person.
Quite a bit of sentiment attaches to
the fad. The exchange of handkerchiefs,
as well as the making of collections of
them, is likely to become as popular as
the collecting of postal cards.
