THE FRENCH KNOT
HAS ADDED INTEREST 70 EN-.
- 8RoiDERY WORK..
Just Now 1t 10 the Most Popular of
All sstitehes-Witd Carrot Lends
J.: Itself to Many Graceful
Designs.

;, The revival of interest in the French
knot as a medium for embroidery has
given us many interesting pieces Of
fancy work in which few, If any, other
stitches are employed. We see scarfs,
table covers, center pieces, bureau
.scarfs, and even borders to curtains
developed entirely in innumerable
knots SO closely set as to make the
work appear like great raised mass
of tiny composite flowers.
Probably one of the best subjects
for this French knot treatment is the
wild carrot, which lends itself to
many graceful designs. The huge
flower heads are worked by collec-
tion of closely set knots, each one of
which is made very tightly and
smoothly and set close together.
The trouble with most embroider-
ers is that they do not attempt to
do these knots evenly, so rough, loose
ends and loops result. ~
To make a knot correctly the thread
must be brought through the material
exactly where the knot is to go. Then
wind the thread around the needle
two or three times. The oftener it is
done the larger and firmer will be
the knot. Put the needle down close
beside where the thread came up.
The most important part Of the
work is at this point, for If the
thread is not held perfectly taut with
the thumb the looped effect is inev.
table.
Though the French knot is now en-
ployed almost exclusively for floral de-
signs, it has served for other purposes
in times past.
In the earliest ecclesiastical embroi
derles it was used to represent the
hair of men and angels, while in
even more ancient examples of Chi
nese art needle work it was employed
for the flesh of the queer celestial fig
ures and was scattered like stipple
| over the entire surface of the EN-
broidery.
To-day the French knot is muct
used instead of embroidered dots or
conventional bindings and trimmings
but is scarcely as serviceable, espe
cially for materials that require laun
dering, as the raised dot in satir
stitch, which washes much better.

is a very different thing from the
honey as we know it. When taken
by the bee it is sucked up with its
tongue, then it undergoes chemical
change inside the bees body, and then
it comes back through the tongue and
is placed in the cells. A minute drop
of formic acid from the bees sting
is sometimes added before sealing the
