HINTS FOR NEEDLEWOMEN

ing to the tints desired. The leaves
are done also in satin stitch.
The bag should be filed with a
white silk cord and this should be used
as the drawing string.
A useful gift is an embroidered linen
towel rack. 1t requires one wooden
board, by Is inches: one mat board
and one nickel towel rack with screws.
An attractive design had fieurs-de-lis
worked in old blue on white linen. The
design was worked out in feather stitch,
and the cross bar on each made solid
When the design is finished the linen
is mounted on the mat board, and this
is fastened to- the wooden board with
the nickel towel racks and hung with
screws.
Large pads of colored blotting paper
make practical undertakings for thin
bureau scarfs.
They will also save the polished sur
face.

G OMETHING new in sideboard cloths
- is the plain linen embroidered with
English eyelets or motifs worked in each
corner the whole buttonholed in shallow
scalops
They launder most satisfactorily
The ingenious woman is never at a
loss for something attractive which may
be made from handkerchiefs. from an
apron to a childs cap-from a petit
coat founce to a chemise yoke.
The small fringed damask dish doilies
show no change. but pretty sets of linen
dolies for this purpose come in all sizes
and shapes and are bordered with but
tonholed edges. They launder better
than fringed doilies. and are considered
generally more durable as well. In adj
dition to the plain linen, a ribbed weave,
resembling pique, is also used in such
sets.
Extremely attractive are the standing
collars of baby Irish now being worn.
They are easily crocheted and are worn
with simple shirtwaist and a small bow
tie of ribbon matching the col of the
gown.
Another pretty and generally becom-
ing idea is to finish a string tie of null
with ends completed by narrow width
of baby Irish lace
Attractive in every WAY are tba
leather cushions that are made I'D in
oblong shape, quite plain with the ex-
ception of a coat-of-arms IN the center.
This is painted"in heraldic coIors. the
whole thing looking like an exquisite
hand-tooled leather book cover, and the
Deep rich colors show up to perfec-
ton on the background of dull brown.
This cushion suits library as nothing
else would.
Cushions go long way in making O.
home comfortable, homelike and at
tractive, no matter how simple or how
ornate the fittings may be. In collecting
cushions. it should always be had In
mind that the keynote Is harmony In
both colors and shape, as well as quail
ity. If room is furnished in mission
style, with hangings that are plain and
simple. the cushions should be of the
same degree Of severity. No glaring
colors or frivolous ruffles could be in
keeping with the surroundings. for they
would lose their own small share of
beauty and take away all the character
Of the room.
A tinted white silk opera bag deco
rated in purple wistarias, makes q
dainty. useful gift AS it is lined with
chamois. the finest pair Of glasses may
be carried in it uninjured.
The bag, when finished, should be

MORE will make most effective bag.
The design should be worked in satin
stitch, using shades Of purple accord

Pompadour Ribbon Corse'
Covers.

A PRETTY little fancy of the mo-
II ment is the pompadour ribbon
corset cover to be worn under
sheer blouses.
1t is fashioned of two strips of wide
ribbon, sewed together lengthwise and
cut in three pieces, two for the fronts
and one for the back and Joined under
the arms with fagoting
The shoulder straps are made of lace
inserting, beading and narrow edging.
The waist is finished with a batiste
beading threaded with ribbons.
White silk petticoats of Powered
silk are worn with these gay little
corset covers and are intended for use
with lingerie dresses, so many of which
are being pressed into service for even
ing wear.

Some begin at the center of

base and work up

may be used as solid embroidery allows
wide scope for individuality.
A simple method is TO begin at the
apex of the leaf. and after making a

again and working to the left until that

II the work calls for delicate shad-
ings, begin at the base and GRADUALLY

Some outline the veining first and fill
in around them.
The better way is to put in the VEIN

THE new coral stitch embroidery
is a near relative of shadow APP
plique
The work is planned on the same
lines, the difference being in the stitch
used to hold the background and APP
piled material together
In the latter a satin outline or
heavy long and short stitch may be
employed, but in coral embroidery only
the small knot stitches, or washable
French knots, as they are sometimes
called. may be used
If colored lawn is used for the ap-
plique. be sure the color is absolutely
fast.
This can be readily determined when
the material is wet for the shrinking.

Ill the water is clear and the materials

Having both backgrounds and ap-
pique materials shrunken and pressed
smooth, the former stamped with the
design TO be embroidered, begin the
work by basting the heavy material
smoothly on the wrong side of the
backgrounds, being careful to have the
threads of the fabrics run parallel.

Turnover Collars.

TURNOVER collars should be made
quite deep and with two en-
broidered tabs in front, which will
cover the fastenings
The under tab is about five inches
long, and has a buttonhole at the
top. This fastens on the collar button.
The upper tab, which is three inches In
length, is sewed to the lower tab, along
the top, and falls over the collar but
ton holding it securely.
The tabs may be rounded or pointed
at the ends and are embroidered with
the same design as the collar.

Putting in Insertion.

IT HE usual way of putting in inSer-
tons In lingerie is to roll or whip
L it in, or, more simple still, they
may be put in by oversewing without
rolling the material.
Here is the method: Lay the lace over
the surface of the material and fastcn
it on tn right side with fine running
stitches on each extreme edge.
Cut away the linen on the back to
within a sixteenth of an inch OF where
1t is sewed, and then on the wrong
side, by very close top sewing, whip IN
this raw edge to the edge of the inser-
ton.
The work must be very closely sewed
in order not to pull out. If closely sewed
it is absolutely firm.

The Best Needle for En-
broidery.

THE best needle for embroidery is
one which has smooth eye that
allows the silk plenty of play,
without pulling it to pieces or roughing
it in the least
Be sure your needle is adapted to the
size of your silk.
If the eye is too small the silk cuts
and trays, because it gathers at thick
lump at the eye of the needle, which
has TO be forced through the fabric to
the detriment of the silk.
If the eye is too large the work takes
on the appearance of having too few
stitches. and holes mark the edge of
every stitch.
In shading, where a number of colors
are to be used alternately, an expert
enced embroiderer will not confine her
self to one needle, which has to be
threaded and rethreaded with the diff
ferent cOlOrs at a considerable loss of
time, but she will have a needle for
each color and use them in succession,
as each color is required in the work.

Veil Case.

ITO make pretty case for wells, take
a piece of heavy white linen.
L about six inches wide by eighteen
long, and embroider it in eyelet and
solid work, with the initials done en-
tirely in tiny eyelets.
Take a piece of linen the same length
and mount both these pieces over PASTE
board.
Cover two pieces of pasteboard with
blue or pink China silk. Sew the linen
covered to the silk covered pieces Of
pasteboard.
Finish around the edge with narrow
blue or pink cord.
