The New Embroidery.

"A ECCGIk nuLlbCl vi bilC 1AOAAO
NeedleNork Magazine" has this to say
of the new Wallachian embroidery:
There is perhaps, no style of en-
broidery this season which is attract
ing more attention than the Walla-
chan. The first designs of this char
acter, brought out by an exclusive
Boston neediework shop, met with I'M
qualified appreciation, and the en-
broidery has since been taken up and
adapted in variety of ways. The
name and character of the work are
supposed to have been derived from
Roumanian village of the same
name, but ii has been so much Amer
icanized that it is very doubtful if the
peasant workers of that mysterious
country would recognize it as their
own creation. We are very fond of
names of foreign derivation and each
sees some different type of needle
work masqurading under names time
honored in the different European
countris, as Hardanger, HedebO, Bed
ermaier, and Wallachian. Give a
needlework a new name, something
that arouses a feeling of speculation
and curiosity and lis success is as
sured There is nothing particularly
remarkable about Wallachian. except
that it is simple, new, quickly worked,
and all the rage in the Eastern cities.

makes no difference at all All are
worked alike. The stitches running
from the line which extends down the
center of each leaf or petal to the
edge, puTi in ali cases coming on the
edge. The work is invariably done
with a coarse silk, and necessarily
works up very rapidly.
The original Wallachian work was
not raised or padded in the least. but
some of the newer designs have intro
duced the use of washable foundation
rings with very handsome effect,
doing away with the fatness which
was perhaps a fault of some of the
original work. However, it is pure
ly matter of personal fancy, ring or
no rings, as one chooses. Yet if they
are used one should run few padding
stitches near the outside of the leaf
portions. so that they also will show
a raised appearance.
Wallachian is particularly beauti-
full for articles for table decorations.

which is. that ii can be used with
