NeOO Embroidery

needle and soft threads the beautiful de-
signs in shadow embroidery which has
created many Of the. loveliest waists
seen in sheer material. will gladly well
come a new and clevr idea which really
makes the Ehadow-em broidery effect
more attractive than the old style. True.
il calls for more stitches, yet one never
considers time or labor when something
new is created for the artistic needle

signs with the outline stitch. work a
button-hole stitch around the outlines

How to Hove Pretty Attractive
Summer Window Boxes

For a woman who Is fond Of garden

boxes Quite the simplest way of hav-'

with a florist who VII fiji and pat

but unsatisfactory TO one who really
loves flowers For the chief interest
is watching the seeds come Up or the
small plants grow, and tending them
until they give forth blossom and color.
Nc window box was ever complete
without geraniums. not only because the
plants are easily grown, but because
they blossom profusely. Petunias
should not be forgotten. for. though
the flowers are perishab le, the. scent is
delicate, and exquisite shades are now
obtained in this one-time common
flower. Nasturtiums are the standby,
and. taking it all in ALL are the most
delightful flowers of AL, growing rap

roads. .='a . .lz,>,. /. "a. q %'s~&
Public highways are as much ar
teries of commerce as rivers and har-
bors or as railroads or canals.' The
improvement and betterment of high
ways comes nearer home to the great
mass Of the American people than
either of the foregoing. Just reflect
for a moment how many hunreds Of
millions Of dollars Congress has ap-
propriated, either by the endorsement
of the boards Of subsidized railroads
and by donations Of public lands. No
body doubts in this day and genera
tion that such aid to railroads was
wise and proper, and in pursuance
Of a sound public policy. Nobody
doubts that the appropriations for
rivers and harbors was and is proper.
Nobody doubts that the appropria-
tions for agricultural colleges and ex-
perimental stations was and is ad-
vantageous. And in ten years time
nobody would doubt the wisdom Of
congress in approprlating annually
a reasonable lump sum to aid the
states in bettering the condition Of
their roads, bridges and ferries. t'The
