The drawnwork Is done In the old Mexi-
can stitch, or a variation of it, and this
stitch is perhaps the most useful among
III stitches used In drawn-thread work.
Having drawn the squares. make a close
Suttonhoe stitch around half the threads

buttonhole loop to the next bar of threads,
taking half Of these, then to the next,
and so on. ending where you began. This
forms sort of fesfoon stitch. making a
tiny square of thread in the center of the
drawn space, the corners of this square
starting at each buttonhole loop.
Pass to the next space, and repeat
throughout.
Finish the edge of the cover with lace

also for handkerchiefs. yokes, and great

ART OF NEEDLEwORK

In making napkins the initial or mono
gram is stili put In the corner, though an
occasional housewife prefers marking them
In the center. The letters vary from an
inch to an inch and a half In height.

and gowns these days almost every woman
Is tempted TO take up needlework as mat
ter Of economy. II nothing else. Fortu-
natey for the amateur much of the orna-
