RARE APRON FOUND

Stitch" Used.

st. Paul, Minn.-Through chain Of
unusual circumstances Mrs. e. H.
Evans, Of Minneapolis, has come into
possession Of treasure in embroidery
believed to be the handiwork or Mary,
Queen Of Scots, who, during her in.
generation in Lochleven, was known
to have passed many hours embroid.
ering.
During one of Lord Melville's visits
to the unhappy queen she besought
him to obtain a needful supply Of raj.
ment, Of which she was almost desti.
tute. Among other things, the captive
sovereign obtained packets Of colored
silks. which she used in making beau
tiful pieces of needlework, some of
which were sent to Queen Elizabeth.
One of the hapless queens gowns
came into the possession of Mr..
Meyers. an American costumer, in the
lining of whichra purple satin embroid-
cred apron was found to be sewef
hidden there, doubtless, from her jail
ers by the queen herself, fearing it
might be taken from her. This apron
passed into the hands of and is owned
by a Philadelphia named sweeting.
Its counterpart in every detail, with
the exception of color. is in Minneap.
oils. and certain historians point to
the fact that the queen embroidered
two. one in purple and one in black.
They are both made in the famous
"lost STITCH" which is unknown to
modern embroiderers.
Under microscopic examination 1t
Is not at all like Turkish or Chinese
chain stitch, which resembles it close:
~, but is done in a series of little,
tight French knots, which are fastened
so firmly that it is impossible to un-
ravel the infinitesimal disks Of silk.
There are myriads Of them in flower
designs, in colors exquisitely blended,
encased by a running silken cord,
couched on. A marvellous design,
strangely artistic. yet conventional,
forming border and corner pieces
and four strips for the top of pleats
for fullness. The wonderful evenness
Of the stitches indicates that the work
was done by woman with unlimited
time at her disposal.
Mrs. Evans has every reason to be-
lieve her apron to be one of the two
embroidered by Mary Stuart. The de.
signs are identical, differing only in
color. This exquisite piece of embroid.
cry came to Mrs. Evans as a present
from her sister, who gave it to her
when she was a girl of 16, with the
admonition to take good care Of 1t.
Mrs. Evans did not fully realize the
value Of her possession until she
CHANGED to see an article with an IL.
lustration of an apron 300 years old,
Of great historical value, the descrip-
ton tallying accurately with that of
her own apron.
A woman whose work received hon.
