Gently that was a triumph of the en-
broiderer's art, yet could be easily
copied in the imitation filet squares
and medallions. which may now be
bought ready to applique to any spe-
cial design.
White linen just one degree removed
from sheerness was the material used
to form an adjustable cover that was
plain on one side and edged with
three-inch ruffle of the linen, fully hem
stitched. The top ON the outer edge had
a two-inch square of the filet net in
each corner connected by insertion an
inch wide. In the centre was an inch
square of the tilet. and around 1t was
worked on the linen a graceful wreath
shaped design in eyelet work, satin
stitch outlining and Fayal embroidery
At the bottom of the square was
huge rose done with many curved pet
ais, heavily padded and worked in satin
stitch, with the centres of the petals in
Fayal From each side radiated grace
fui sprays. the stems were in outline
the tiny double leaves on each side of
the stem in eyelet; the larger leaves had
padded solid edges and seeding veins.
and the conventional phloxlike flowers
were in satin stitch. with an eyelet CEN
tire.
The variety and beauty of this spray.
which entirely surrounded the central
square, was pronounced, yet the only
difficult stitch was the Fayal work in
the one large flower This, however.
might be omitted and seeding substi-
tuted.
With careful laundering such a inflow
would last for years and still retain its
daintiness.

The Laying of a Good
- Foundation

IT HE wise man about to build HIM
self home will see that his
1 foundations are the best to be
had for his money. even If he has to
'ecnomize on the superstructure. The
really skilled embroiderer is equally
careful about her foundations.
Every stitch put on this preliminary
work pays many times over. 1t really
does not take much extra time to pad
one scallops and flower petals, yet 1t
makes surprising difference in the ap-
pearance OF the finished work.
Many Wprkers are eager to begin
what th0y call the embroidery at once,
not realizing that the UNDERTAKING is
quite as important as the covering
stitches. Nor is this merely SO as re-
CARDS looks. No embroidery launders
well that Is not firmly padded. 1t holds
the material in place and prevents 1t
from pulling when washed.
Almost all padding should be run
lengthwise Of the design. as the cover
ing Is usually done across 1t. As good
way as any to pad is to run the edges
of sca1lop or flower and fill up the
centre with chain stitches or the whole
thing can be chain-stitcbed. This stitch
fills In very rapidly and gives the req
uisite smoothness without which no
satin stitch ever looks well.
Ordinary darning cotton makes q very
good filling. II the work Is to be very
much raised, more strands should be
used. or the stitches can be put in sew
erat layers. making 1t slightly higher

FOR LAZY EMBROIDERERS

To one would have the patience
nj nowadays TO sit down and do
L elaborate tapestries liking
twenty years in the making or
even the quaint samplers that were the
ehlldhood stunts of our great grand
mothers. We modern women like to
embroider, but we want to do it by
snort cuts. If possible. We seek to
gain our effects with the fewest num-
Der of stitches.
Fortunately the manufacturers are
accommodating beings. who recognize
the ease-loving tendency of the age
and seek to crafty it to the best of
their ability. We have grown quite
accustomed % tinted flowers of fig
ures that require but q simple outline
or long and short stitch. where once
every color would have been put in
by the needle. Machine made braids
or lace headings that can be quickly
run on by long stitches now form
snowy designs on every kind of fancy
work. the only embroidery actually
done being few filling stitches such
as seeding French knots of briar
stitching
But the latest aid to the lazy en-
broiderer is the designs now being
shown, in which intricate drawn work,
or Fayal embroidery, is supplied in
combination with stamped motif that
can be worked with comparative ease.
These inserted open-work motifs are in
the form of medallions, squares or un-
usual figures, in keeping with the char
acter of the embroidery, are not
appliqued. but are developed in the ma
terial to look so exactly like the hand
work ones done with great difficulty,
Withdrawing of threads and many
stitches. that the difference is not per-
ceptible.
Handsome pieces of this kind are
shown in some of our best art needle
work shops, and cost surprisingly little
in comparison to the time and eyesight
saved

An unusually elaborate rose centre
piece had the floral design of huge
double roses stamped in combination
with irregular drawn-work medallions
that would have taken months to work.
The roses were of the kind that had
many overlapping petals, which were
heavily padded; indeed. the entire
wreath by skilful underlying with
darning cotton before the color work
which greatly increased its beauty.
The roses and leaves should be shaded
in the natural tones, using some good
embroidery silk.

The average housekeeper cannot have

For IL, woman with whom money
counts. the onl, feasible way to own
these is work them herself There
fore the Interesting set shown today
should prove specially popular. They

dore
This last is an all-important factor
in attempting anything SO elaborate
as full set OF centrepieces. plate and
tumbler doilies. 1t is all very well to
do one piece of embroidery. but twen-
ty-five with practically the same thing
over and over again requires more
courage. The Wallachian work. how
ever, is so rapid. yet fascina ting. that
1T n sr becomes burdensome.
This embroidery has been explained
SO fully of late that little more need
be said in regard to it. 1t is nothing
but a tuttonhole stitch worked into a
central vein or around a pierced eye
let 1t requires no padding. and II
done in white, no shading. The only
difficulty at all is in rounding the
broad corners Of the petals. but this
can easily be managed by sloping the
stitches slightly and spreading them
On the outside. while they are crowded
within. The method can easily be seen
from the working detail whose petal
is left unfinished at this critical point.
The doilies SHOULD be worked on linen
to match the centrepiece. and naturally
n the same materials. This should
preferably be Of a white mercerized cot
ton. of not too fine a number. Many
people do the Wallachian work in floss,
but it makes 1t much coarser looking,
and Is more expensive, as floss does not
go half SO far as the cotton.
Such a set would be also very attrac-
a colored merceriZed cotton, but they
will not launder SO we'll and take longer
to do. as the shading makes them more
complicated.

4 asst week we published on this
page an exceptionally good

we give designs for plate dolly and

The fashion of taking breakfast and
lunch. or supper, if one dimes In the
middle of the day. on a bare table Is
rapidly growing one. This custom Is
but a revival of the pretty ways of an
earlier generation. Our grandmothers

ally breakfasted and supped without

After ALL unlike some fashions, this
one has the merits of economy, as well
as beauty. Somehow. breakfast never
tastes quite so good as when eaten from
a well-kept. shining table. covered with
pretty doilies and a centrepiece on
which rests bowl of fruit or slender
vase of flowers (many persons do not
care for a floral decoration for break

even more marked. The mother with
large family and a small income knows
the difficulty of always keeping a spot

the washing) as well. With the best

eggs will be spilled or gravy splashed.

Now. as every housekeeper knows,
there Is nothing that sooner causes fric-

The All-White Pillow

DROBABLY there is no form of en-
broidery that is more desirable
Just now than the combinations
on linen or lingerie materials of
filet lace and medallicns with fine
handwork. 1t is a revival of the Won
derful effects gained by Italian work
ers under the supervise IN of the great
ladies of the Renaissance, such as
Isabella Il Este. the special patron of
laceworkers, as well as the friend of
the artists and goldwcrkers of her
age.
Needless to state much of the filet
we see nowadays is machine made,
but even so - is expensive to quite an
alarming degree Even the fmjta-

This embroidery may be done either
in mercerized cottons or in flo silk.
There seems to be rather a prejudice
against using silk on lingerie mate
rails, yet in colors II generally laun-
ders better than the cottons. Tho
white silk, however. is not to be ad-
Sised, as 1T turns very yellow. In
stead. use good quality OF mercer

If you care for cole under a sheer
blouse such corset cover Is really
very effective, and Is not at all diff
