but is much more serviceable.
The varying degrees of ornateness,
also, make it possible to do just as
little or as much work as one wishes.
The first design, with it's simple seal

suited to towels for everyday use and
the ordinary scarfs for sideboard or

Directly in the middle, going from

The magazine or book opened in the
middle is slipped under this, and will
be kept securely in place, the cover
of the magazine being slipped into
pockets at each end of the linen cover.
To make these pockets simply turn
each end of the linen over two inches
and a half on the wrong side and sew
at the upper and lower edge.

Cross Stitching Hints

r F. each stitch is not crossed in the
same direction, the effect will be
L poor. 1t is always better to work
as much as possible in a straight line,
so that each stitch may receive it's ten
sion from the same direction.
Cross stitching is well adapted to
table and magazine covers, the mark
ing of linen. sofa pillows, floor cushions
and bags of all kinds.
Red and white and blue and white
linen are the favorite materials for
these articles when decorated with
Cross-stitcning. THIS work must not pe
confused with the checked ginSham en-
broiderv of few years ago.
1t is quite different in appearance, the

sized flowers, or in working upon
heavy materials the embroidery of
the outer edges of a petal with a
double thread, and the shading in to-
ward the center with a single thread
This rule does not apply to small
flowers or delicate materials, which
should be worked with single
thread on the edge and throughout
the embroidery.
The use of the two threads anv-
where in delicate design would give
clumsy and unWieldly look to the
work
1t is always better to experiment
with the design on separate piece of
linen, and to soon determine whether
1t is better to use double, single or
split thread

Embroidery Without a Hoop


M ANY embroiderers are slaves to
M hoop or frame. Without 1t they
i think smooth work is Impossible.
Therefore they laboriously Cumber their
workbags with hoops of varying sizes
and feel they would be lost without
them.
In point of fact though the devotee OF
the hoop can rarely be brought to think
so, quite as smooth, even smoother,
work can be done without as with H.
1t is merely a matter OF practice.
One woman, who had embroidered for
years with the assistance of wrapped
wooden rings, was initiated by friend
into the ease and greater rapidity with
which such work could be done over
,he fingers Ever since has she used
this method for al kinds of fancy work,
even big shaded flowers. with increasing
satisfaction.
Fingers. be it noticed, were used.
Herein lies the secret Of successful en-
hroldery without d hoop. Instead of
holding the material to be worked over
the first finger of the left hand, and
holding it on the outside with the sec
oud. as is the usual way of sewing,
stretch it over the first and second
fingers
These two fingers are separated at
least two inches, and the material
which is over them is held perfectly
taut by means of the thumb and third
finger. This leaves tight space for
working, where sagginS is impossible.
With little practice it will be found
that the most intricate stitches may be
lone in this way absolutely without
drawing and puckeriug. 1t is also much
quicker than the usual method and
saves the inconvenience OF wrapping
hoops or having them exactly the
light size

Evelet Embroidery

A LII FIGURES in eyelet embroidery
~ should have the outlines covered
1 with fine running stitches. In
cases of large figures there should be
two rows of these running stitches
taken around the outline.
This is always the first step. The next
step is TO open the figure. In the case
of a small Cyelet, the Stilctto should be
set in the center of the circle and the
point should then be pushed through un-
Ill the cloth has been pushed back 10
the outline OF the figure.
Start the work of whipping or over
casting the opened edges by taking three
running stitches on the stamped out
line and throw the thread to tie lace
knot
This will give n firm start and the
thread Will not pull out. Never make a
knot. Set the needle for the first stitch
ON the outside of the stamped outline
with the needle point in the center of
the hole which fas been made with the
eyelet Pull through the thread firmly
and set the needle for another stitch
Take up the least possible amount of
cloth for each stitch. When the circle
has been overcast, finish the work by
running the needle back under the last
three stitches, cutting the thread
Never carry the thread from one fig
ure in the design TO another figure, but
finish each figure and faSten thread as
directed

IT MAY be survival of the house

mothers to count a well-stocked
anen chest the most important part
Of their marriage outfit; it may be that
innate femininity that, crops out in
love for dainty home appointments, even
n the most advanced new woman. What
ever the cause. the demand for beautiful
household linen is l,eener than ever be-
fore.
Every one knows the joy of exquisite
table damask, fine towels of generous
proportions. and an abundance of table
and bureau scarfs. To own goodly
supply of the very finest quality of
household linen that ones purse per-
mits makes strong appeal even to
the most ambitious modern housewife.
If she can crafty this laudable taste
with no further effort than a money
outlay. her lot in life is comparatively
happy. But, alas, ones buying power
and buying desire are rarely commen-
5urate. Coarser qualities and smaller
quantities must be endured, as con-
3entedly as possible, and the possession
of the fine linen our souls crave be en-
soyed as a day dream of ultimate house

woman of very moderate income.
Many a woman. for instance, who
looks enviously at the costly embroid-
cred towels and sideboard scarfs which
are now so popular fails TO realize that
these things may be enjoyed at less
than half their cost if she works them
herself.

Colored Embroidery

~OLORED embroidery is surely
coming in, and if one wants to
" be in the lead, and have some
thing decidedly new,- she will have at
least one embroidered blouse or gown
with the design carried out in color.
The effect is very beautiful if the
proper shades are selected and the de-
signs not too elaborate.
The pastel shades of blue and the
bronze shades of brown are especially
adapted to this sort Of decoration.
