THE FRENCH KNOT
HAS ADDED INTEREST TO EN-.
sRoiDERY WORK.
lust Now II 10 the Most Popular Of
All Stitehes-Wiid Carrot Lends
Itself to Many Graceful
D%eeiuns.

The revival Of interest In the French
knot as a medium for embroidery has
given us many interesting pieces OF
fancy work in which few, II any, other
stitches are employed. We see %scarfs,
table covers. center pieces, bureau
scarfs, and even borders TO curtains
developed entirely in iuuumerable
knots so closely set us to make the
work appear like a great raised mass
OF tiny composite flowers.
Probably one OF the best subjects
for this French knot treatment is the
wild carrot, which lends Itself to
many graceful designs. The huge
flower heads are worked by a oollec.
ton of closely set knots, each n Of
which is made very tightly and
smoothly and set close together.
The trouble with most embroider.
ers is that they do not attempt to
do these knots evenly. so rough, loose
ends and loops result.
To make a knot correctly the thread
must be brought through the material
exactly where the knot Is to go. Then
wind the thread around the needle
two or three times. The oftener 1t IL
done the larger and firmer will be
the knot, Put the needle down close
beside where the thread came up.
The most important part OF the
work is at this point, for If the
thread is not held perfectly taut with
the thumb the looped effect is inev.
liable.
Though the French knot is now EN-.
ployed almost exclusively for floral de.
signs, II has served for other purposes
In times past.
In the earliest ecclesiastical embroi,
deries II was used to represent the
hair Of Lien and angels. while IN
even more ancient examples OF Chi.
nese art needle work 1t was employed
for the flesh OF the queer celestial fig.
ures and was scattered like stipple
over the entire surface of the EN-
broidery.
To-day the French knot is much
used Instead OF embroidered dots on
conventional bindings and trimmings,
but is scarcely AS serviceable, espe.
cially for materials that require laun.
dering, as the raised dot in satin
stitch, which washes much better.

CAN YOU IMPROVE THIs3
A Bit Of Pure English Which Lincoln
Wrote and Lived Up To.

II is not very well known that In
the hall of one Of the great colleges
Of England there hangs a frame in.

Abraham Lincoln is the author. They
are considered the best English that
was ever written. You or | might
read them over and call them very
simple indeed. And they are SO sim.
pie that any child who reads at all
can read and understand them. That
is N thing that makes them great.
1t was his being simple and plain
that made Lincoln himself great.
Now here is a little paragraph By
Lincoln which he made a rule of his
conduct. Suppose you try to write
1t over and see how much you can i'm.
prove 1t. See II each word is the
right one. and try to find a better
word for the place. Notice how sim.
pie this is, all but two are words of a
single syllable:
