be managed with care though 1t will be a
tedious process. Put the impression paper
over the linen. and trace off the part or
the design given. Then take the two leaves
on the side and join the point of the first
to the end of those stamped. showing the
pattern along each time till the desired
length of the scarf has been produced.
Afterward do the lower edge Of the cover
in the same way. and then stamp the other
end.
If the showing of the pattern seems too
complicated. the leaves of the side, which
are ali alike. can be drawn in continuous
size of the scarf wanted. and the stamping

Cutwork proper is worked entirely In a

photograph. but this special design, for
tunately, may be developed in various
ways.
For instance, you might pad the grapes
heavily, making each a little thicker to-
ward the center In the few places where
the grapes run out on the border, work
them first with fine close buttonhole
stitch to prevent fraying when the design
stitch in mercerized cotton or silk.
Outline the edges of the leaves and the
stems and buttonhole closely all around.
AS the cutting is only to be done as far
as the outer stems. the inner ones should
be worked in satin stitch like the grapes.
Be sure those that are buttonholed have
the twist on the outside.
The buttonholing in most cutwork is kept
narrow and even. but these grape leaves

Making Attractive
Curtains at Home

X n ANY beautiful materials can be
NI bought by the yard for curtains.
from which the average homo
maker can evolve for. herself handsome
+ and attractive hangings at little expense
The best materials to use against the
glass are bobinet. scrim. fshnet and
madras. Heavier curtains can be made
of plain material, which can be trimmed
with applique borders. or a design of
braid cleverly put on with the machine
Figured cretonnes. chintz taffetas and
Java prints also be used for inner
curtains.
If two or three windows are on one side
of the wall, very pretty effect can be
obtained by having a pair of sash cur
tains on each window. and the whole
framed by one pair of inner curtains with
a deep valance going right across the
group of windows. One of the other walls
may only have one window. This would
have one pair of inner curtains and a
short valance as well as the pair of sash
curtains.
Many OF the inexpensive domestic cot
tons can be used for inner curains, in adj
dition to sash curtains. They should not
be hung beyond the woodwork or the
sun will fade them. even through the sash
curtains.
There is something very fascinating about
denim, especially when the wool and warp
red Is particularly attractive. while the
green shot with blue suggests a color
scheme for an artists room.
Art ticking Is also very useful. coming
in shades that cannot be procured among
denims. A pale shade of tan holds its
color and Is invaluable as a bed room
hanging. Interest can be given to 1t by
adding a border of chintz to match the
wall paper.
When making the curtains at home. It IS
best to have the hens two inches wide at
the bottom and an inch or an inch and q
half wide at the front side. The corners
must always be mitered. as this looks much
more finished than extending the side hem
to the bottom and then turning 1t up.
AS curtains usually shrink or stretch
after being Numbered, II is advisable to
have two or three folds of material In
the top hem, SO that they can be adjusted
each time they are laundered.
When buying curtain poles ana sash
rods for the windows. 1t is important not
to get the poles too heavy. A massive
line Of brass above the curtain is very apt
to look top heavy, especially above sash
curtains of sheer material. For the aver.
age window q one-inch pole Is quito thick
enough, but If heavy. lined draperies are
used in the winter. a one and a half inch
pole would answer. and yet would not be
unsightly with summer draperies. The
sash rods come in two sizes. The heaviest
kind can often be utilized for poles for long
curtains.

Revival of Gitteryl Needlework.

Gitteryl, an old Danish handcraft, has
Just been revived in London. Paris, Berlin
and Copenhagen.
Catherine de Medici had her bed draped
with gitteryl. and beautiful hangings and
altar cloths made In the sixteenth century
are still preserved in England. There Is
such a wealth of romance and historical
association combined with the quaint
medieval simplicity OF the work that this
needlework is becoming quite the latest lad
in England.
The groundwork is a square mesh net,
and comes in many sizes of mesh and in
many widths of material. The stitch Is
merely darning, but differs from the darn
ing seen so much last winter. in that it
is usually recrossed. 1t is also worked
diagonally on cream or white thread net,
and pale green, blue and yellow net are
all used for this old-time needlework. Tho
old cross stitch samplers are being brought
to light and the old designs reproduced In
gitteryl.
Ball fringe is being used to trim sasn
curtains decorated by this needlework-
Blouses and dresses and bed draperies are
also being ornamented with it. while II Is
being pressed into service as an insert tor

One Way to Beat the Game.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Capt. Harry Struve spent Christmas in
this city with his relatives and returned to
San Francisco. from which place he will
shortly go back to the orient He was re-
marking to Louis Cohen that the old town
looked pretty lively for a closed one
Eyes. business Is good and still there's
nothing dom among the gamblers" said
Louis. Then he asked: There must be a
lot Of gambling out east of Suez, as Kip
ling calls the orient?"
Yep; they're hot gamblers out there. -
said Captain Strive You know Portugal
owns little place on the China coast that
they call Maceo and they run as big games
there az they do at Monte Carlo. 1 never
went up against 1t, but they say fellow
stands an even break there. They're care
full to avoid scandals. Occasionally when a
fellow goes broke and commits suicide they
will put gold and silver and bills In his
pockets SO that when the police search the
body no one can say he killed himself be-
cause he lost all his dough.
Il was told a story about a fellow from
Colorado who got onto that game and
worked 1t to the finish. He blew his money
on the wrong card and set up great holler
He went out in some bushes on the grounds
and fired q shot. When the attendants
found him he was groaning and writhing.

Slot Machines Suppressed in Spain.

Consul General Ridgey OF Barcelona fur
nlshes the following for the informatlon
and guidance of American manufacturers
OF slot machines:
The new civil governor OF Barcelona ha 3
just issued an order forbidding the opera
ton of all such machines in this city AMI
province as have gambling devices Of any
sort attached to them. There were about
eighty American machines of this chara cter
in operation In Barcelona and about 200
similar ones of Spanish fabrication oil Of
which have been suppressed. Some Of these
American machines are of the finest con-
struction and finish. and were sold here
at prices ranging from $50 to $50.
THE order was issued because of tho
great growth and extent of all sorts OF
petty gambling in Barcelona, and various
other petty games OF chance have been
suppressed. The slot machine, 1t may be
stated. has become very popular with the
working Glasses all over Spain. In one
wide-open arcade of the principal CONNER
cial thoroughfare OF Barcelona rome thirty
OF the machines were established. and play
was openly In progress at all hours of the
day and night"

Paris Picture Trade Tricks.

From the London Standard.
classification of pictures in Paris has be-
como scandal, which a case heard by
the tenth correctional court yesterday Is
likely to emphasize The case was simple.
A Frenchman with a Spanish name and
an italian with a French name kept
curiosity shop-a collection of old furniture
and old pictures scattered about in two
front rooms, and splitting over on to the
pavement, after the fashion of curiosity
shops in the Rue de Provence. Some of
the curios were really old; others were
only old IN appearance. There We're sew
eral examples of modern French artists"
the whole being arranged in perfect
fashion for taking in a foreign or pro-
vincial bargain hunter. The tricks of the
trade were not discovered for a long time,
but in 1903 the cosmopolitan firm sold five
pictures represented to be the works OF
Chaplin Henner Elem and Boucher. These
pictures, bought for about 91,5OO, were
given by the purchaser to his daughter as
a marriage gift. Some time later the
young lady got divorce. and went to live
with her father. taking the pictures with
her. A friend who happened to be an
expert pointed out that they were all false,
and worth only tenth Of what had been
given for them. The dealers were prose-
cuted, and one of them fed, leaving the
other to get out of the mess as well as he
could. This young man, versed in all the
ms and outs Of his dubious calling. patched
up a very ingenious defense. He quoted
mistakes made by the Louvre experts and
other less remarkable cases, to show that
he might we'll have been deceived himself
in pictures which were undoubtedly good
limitations. The defense might have been
successful had not the prosecuting bar
rister asked for the receipts given to the
defendant when he bought the pictures
One of them was signed by Count del
Drago. who was brought up from prison
at Fresnes, and he admitted having signed
a bogus receipt for ego, although he made
nothing out of the transaction.
