back shore of Cape Cod the barge had
stranded on hour or two before. The
four seamen were hauled ashore
through the surf half dead from cold,
breaking seas and cnXiety. as their
barge had dragged her anchors for six
hours along the cape shore before she
finally struck the outer bar. The
weather conditions which were most
severe, added to their suffering and
the four were nearly unconscious when
they reached the lifesaving station.
They revived later. The whereabouts Of
the tug Paoli and her other tow, the
Cargo Eadnor, was not known here to-
night.

Beadspreads

TT is doubtful whether any one thing
adds more to the appearance OF a
i dainty bedroom than a pretty and
suitable bedspread.
The bed is such prominent piece OF
furniture. and in these days. when
brass bedsteads are so much used. the
spread shows to great advantage.
Some spreads have lately been made
which were both snowy and econouai-

Embroidered Laces

Pieces Of lace too small to use In
any other way. If embroidered. may
be used for the trimming of bodices
in the form of applique. The same
lace before embroidering might not
have been handsome or effective enough
to use in such small quantity.
It is also possible to create
through the embroidering Of lace ef-
fective trimmings of any color to
match or harmonize with gown from
pieces of plain white lace winch

OF course. it seems extravagant to

The cross-stitch also shows to de-
cided advantage on huckaback
For making sofa pillows. huckaback
is one OF the most satisfactory mate
rails that can be used. when worked in
wash silks. for it will stand frequent
trips to the laundry. and each time 1t
will come from the tub looking like

Handkerchief bags and laundry bags
made Of huckaback may. with very
little labor. be converted into things of
beauty and continuous joy. because OF
their useful and durable properties-at
least. as long as they last, which. II not
forever. is but once removed.
To make a huckaback travelling case

yard Of the toweling with oiled silk,
stitching the edges together neatly;
then fold lengthwise and divide with
double rows of stitching into compart-
ments Of the proper size to accommo.

Fancy Work Designs

THE inspiration for the embroid-
cry pattern worked upon an I'M
a usually pretty shirtwaist came
from an old-fashioned bedspread.
The girl who made it happened to
see a quaint. conventionalized flower
spray, which was part Of the rather
complicated design Of the spread. and
straightway the idea seized upon her
to transfer it.
A pencil and a bit of prepared pa
per made the tracing easy, and the
clever little design adapter laughed in
her sleeve over the many compliments
Some wonderfully interesting de-
signs can be traced from table dam

elaborate scheme Of design.

bits of the damask. the woven de-
sign picked out with wash twist silk,
