lines that IT is difficult keeping
abreast of the wheels of fash
ion"-whiCh. like the wheels of
fortune. keep turning in on one constant
and unceasing whirl-and every fresh revo-
luton Of the circle brings to light some
new and perhaps hitherto unconsidered fea-
ture. In the last few years many have
achieved much IN embroidery, in floral
work on white linen for their ground and
many centerpieees, luncheon cloths, shirts,
dressers, etc, have been brought out, but
we find those white pieces are for use only
IN dining and sleeping rooms, and before
we approach these we have living rooms,
etc, and these must be provided with mats,
hangings, pillows etc, that harmonize with
the rugs, hardwood hoorings beamed cell
ings, dark wall coverings and artistic furni-
ture. so below we are giving Il few cuts
and suggestions that any woman with skill
full fingers may copy and carry out in her
own home. Embroidery is essentially
personal art and this, perhaps in addition
to the fact OF its adaptabiltty not only to
daily domestic use and adoTnment, but also
to ordinary conditions not requiring special
workshop or expensive plant for Its pro-
duction has continued to the success of its
revived practice. which is due to the en-
thusiasm and patience of our country wofn-
en-. In the retinue of beauty among her
sister crafts of design embroidery then
seems likely TO hold her place.

The transferring OF designs from the
printed paper to your own fabric is an in
teresting occupation. and though most peo-
pie prefer having it done for them l will
give method for doing 1t oneself. There
are variety of methods. First, there is
the oldtime method OF drawing the designs
through tracing paper and performing 1t
with needle and using a FOUNDER and
powder, which must then be pressed in
with warm iron under paper to make 1t
indelible, but the better way Is to trace
the design on a tough piece of tracing pa
per, then when the fabric has been well
stretched over a board and pinned down by
thumb tacks or drawing pins place piece
of impression paper over, then with pencil
trace the design, and when the papers are
removed, IL the tracings are too faint. draw
heavily with pencil again. Tarleton can be
used In the same way as tracing paper. BE
most careful in selecting a design that is
thoroughly good. good design is worth
good workmanship; both are essential IN
the production of a beautiful piece of en-
broidery.

The days of our grandmothers are re-
called frequently nowadays by the return
of the cross stitch work so much enjoyed
and familiar to them. The origin of the
word cross stitch Is not far to seek-the
stitches worked upon the square mesh do
cross. But. falling naturally into the lines
of the mesh which governs them, they pre-
sent not so much the appearance of crosses
as of squares, reminding one of the tessa-

McClintock returned to the yards. It

the hands at lunch. who lived too far
from the shops to go home to dinner.
