NEEDLEW0RK NOTES.

The chief things to remember in cut
ting a dress skirt are not to stretch
gored edges and to allow enough length
so that it can be lifted in the back
without making it short at the sides.
In cutting out, so some tailors say, 1t
is better to cut with the nap up, In
stead of down, as in cloth. This meth
Cd is said to prevent rubbed spots, the
material retaining it's bloom for much
longer period.
Darning a tear in wool or silk or cot
ton material should always be done
with rawlings, and where two kinds
Of thread are used in making the ma
terial it is we'll to use them in the
same way in darning.
If you have notified bamboo screen

inches wide all around, burned with a

The Habit of Daintin

It is surprising how many young
business girls there are who give very
little attention to their personal ap-
pearances. II girl has long hours
or other duties in the evenings, she
can still keep herself and her clothes
neat and tidy by giving fifteen minutes
to the process every night regularly.
Take the stitch in time. Look over
the hem of your skirt and see to the
tiny rip In your glove before 1t
reaches the stage where it cannot be
Mended.
A few drops Of ammonia added to a
bowl Of soapsuds and a good Whisk
broom will work wonders with the
skirt that has grown dingy and gray
from dust. Take fifteen minutes a
night for any Of the little things that
will tend to better your appearance,
and you may be sure you will be grail
Aed with the result at the weeks end.
Daintiness and cleanliness are things
within the reach OF all.

HOMEMADE PICTURES.
Advertising Cuts Aid In the Very
Clever Work.

Clever Work.
Three clever young women occasion
ally delight their friends with little
gifts Of den pictures Of home manufac-
ture. Manufacture" is the word, for,
though at least one Of the girls is an
artist Of promise, none of them paints
the pictures.
The. most they do in that direction is
to sketch decorative border in india
ink. All the pictures are put through
the passe partout process. The young
women clip magazine and newspaper
illustrations and advertising cuts, paste
them on backgrounds Of cardinal col
ors, fasten glass tightly over the front
Of EACH and when the work has been
submitted to pressure long enough to
be firm, the picture is ready for the
recipient.
| 1t Is amazing what artistic results
are obtained With simple clips. An adj
vertising cut that has only casual In
terest in its original place can, when
separated from the letterpress that &C.
companies it, be turned into a passe
partout picture of striking beauty. The
glass lends glamour, and the strong
background throws up the best points
Of the engraving or woodcut wonder
fully. Even the often unsatisfactory
zinc etching Of a chalk process cut
borroWs attractiveness from the treat
ment. Plate glass is preferable for the
work, and the cardboard on which the
picture is mounted should be of one
hue. The best way is to cut out each
figure with sharp knife before mount
ing. Silhouettes against scarlet, car
dinal, crimson, rose or maroon card
are particularly effective.
