EYELET EDGE DISTINCTIVE

The eyelet edge is a distinctive fea-
ture of this seasons art needlcwork,
and il properly done. is far from being
unserviceable. as many women think H.
The method of working can be plainly
seen from the diagram. Run the out
lines of each eyelet with a few threads
Of darning cotton. Then cut out the
centers with a small. sharp pair Of
scissors, leaving narrow margin TO
give greater firmness. The embroidery
may then be done in one of two ways.
The simpler is the method shown in
the diagram of buttonholing the entire
circle. rolling back the raw edge with
the needle as one works. This is done
like the Teneriffe wheels so popular a
few seasons ago.
1t is somewhat newer. but rather
more complicated, to work all the cir
cles in the oVer-andover stitch like
regular eyelet. and then, when the CEN
tcrpiece is finished and the edge cut out.
the thicker portions of the circles are
buttonholed, taking the stitch through
each eyelet. This makes a frmcr edge,
hut is more difficult to do neatly.
The secret of any eyelet work wear
ing well Is 10 run all cages before
piercing or cutting. and then to roll
back the material as YOU work. If
this is not done the threads OF the
fabric. even If heavy linen. are apt
20 pull away with laundering.
The rest of the border is designed
for eyelet embroidery throughout. but
IL may be varied in any way the
worker wishes. For instance. the
star-shaped figures may be heavily
padded and done in satin stitch,
while the scrolls are In eyelet. or vice
versa. The central figures of the in
ner line may be connected by chains
of solid dots or the large central eye
lets may be surrounded as well as
connected by the satin stitch dots.
The round eyelets are first run and

Attractive Clover Pillows

sdch simple, easily made affairs for
any one who lives within walking or
strcet-car distance OF green tIeIds that

without at least one of them being add
ed TO our collection.
Start off some afternoon on a coun-
try tramp, taxing with you basket,

pink clover blossoms that you may
gather. On your return spread them
ON newspapers where they Will dry
quickly oII of the sun.
When thoroughly dry, fill muslin

adorned with clover blossoms or leaves,
or can be embroidered in a number OIL
different ways.
A very dainty covering might be two
pieces of white lawn, made with but
lonnoied edge and eyelets, done in white
merceriZed cotton. heSe TWO parts can
be faced over a pillow OF green ilnen
or china silk, using narrow PINK RIBBON
for the lacers.
The unuer part need have nothing but
the scauop and eyeletS, but a pleasing
variation Tor the top would be to en-
broider it in big loose bunch OF pink
clover held by DONk liOtS dHu ciN'', "a
green ribbon worked soliuly in Ken
sington stitch or shadow embroidery.
Another attra ctive pillow might be
made Of pale pink or cream-colored
linen, with a wreath OF green Grover
leaves in the center done in three
shades Of green silk or mercerized cot
ton. A large monogram heavily padded
and worked in satin stitch either In
pink a tone deeper than the linen or In
pale green should be placed inside
this wreath.
Finish the edge of the pillow with
heavy pink cord, or. If preferred, have
hemstitched two-inch hem on each
half of the cover. Make this hem
stitching double and about quarter
of an inch wide and lace the front and
back squares together by pink or green
satin ribbon. This permits of easy laun-
dering.
Even more effective would be a round
pillow cut in the form of huge four
leafed clover from heavy green linen
Make the two sides of the pillow of
the clover and couch them with gold
thread to a round muslin pillow which
has had its edge covered by a puff Of
pink or paler green linen.
The leaves of the clover tops should
come we'll down over the puff so the
lines of the sewing do not show.

TIE there is one tendency more marked
than another in this seasons fancy
work, It is the strong reaction in ia
vor of cyelct embroidery. For a time
it seemed as if this very attractive form
Of what one man calls cutting hole
in a rag, and sewing it up again, haa
been done to death. but this year IL Is
enjoying greater popularity than ever
for all forms of artistic necdieWoIk'
household linens and lingerie.
Eyel,t work, or broderie Anglaisc' as
it is called more formally, is very
effective when used either in combina-
ton with satin stitch or alone. The
Madeira embroidery is so popular just
now that there have been many inter
esting designs developed in nothing but
oyelcts of varying shapes and sizes
This is particularly in favor for center
pieces and doilies, as the open work is
very snowy on a polished table.
Today's centerpiace. which, by the
wav. is reduced to half size OIL the
page, is q specially striking design, yet
does not require overmuch time to finish
it, which is the usual fault with this
class of embroidery. Arranged as 1t is
in a graceful border, it is equally adapt

crown to be made of plain linen.

As points behind the leader Danville

gradually creeping up to make the
race even closer. II things continue
to break as they are now doing, there
will be bit little difference between
any of the teams on the day the last
game is played and the championship
Is decided.
Though the Virginia League was
welcomed as something new and novel
and something much desired by base
ball enthusiasts In Virginia last year,
the year or its inception, this season
has shown a greater manifestation of
interest and enthusiasm, and 1t is pre-
dicted that the Ginning season Will
be even better. Captain Charles Bland.
owner OF the Portsmouth team, who,
1t was said last week. was making
arrangements to sell his team TO Mr..
v. Donati, OF this city prophestes that
next season Will surpass either of the
preceding two in point of interest
among the fans and in the strength
of the six teams representing the
league. The teams are much stronger
than they were last year and they
promise to be even stronger next
year. There is certainly an improve
ment in the batting strength. and
all the pitchers have had harder work
In making high percentage of games
won than any Of them had last year.
Despite repeated rImors of sales OF
teams and an exchange OF cities. there
is little doubt but that the leagus VIII
be the game next year as 1t is now.
-
other city will be taken in, though
1t is well known that there are at
least two more Virginia cities who
would like to be represented.
Owing to the extreme muddiness of
the field, Saturdays local game was
replete with errors. Mud was sew
eral inches deep, and spikes afforded
but little hold on the treacherous
ground. Despite this fact, however,
the game was splendidly played, and
there were many good fielding plays
to counterfeit the very excusable err
rors. 1t was a pitchers battle. and
the honors were about evenly divid-
ed. though Hobbs gave fewer bases
on balls and struck out twice as many
men. Each team aot to first six times
on errors. which shows what a handl-
cap the muddy sfieid must have been.
Since Win Clarke left Roanoke, it is
said that several teams are trying to
get him and that he is waiting to
see who will make the best offer.
Clarke is a good player and a good
Judge of other players but his mana
gerial disposition has been somewhat
of a disappointment. Clarkesi is always
too eager to fight and quarrel. and
people. even the home people, soon get
tired of that sort Of thing. CIarke's
