SOUTH VERNON.
Understanding Reached Regarding
South Vernon Station?

For nearly two years the various par
ties in interest, the Boston Maine ran
road. the Central Vermont railroad, the
people of Mortified and the people OF
South Vernon. have been endeavorng to
secure the removal OF the crossings at
grade at South Vernon and the erection
of new railroad station in place OF
the shabby old building which has been
in use for so many years. Various plans
have been considered, but there have
been conflicting views. The Northheld peO-
pie. for instance, were anxious to have
the new station placed between the tracks
of both the corporations, near where the
present engine house stands. The people
Of South Vernon were opposed to any.
thing which should defect the tide OF
travel from passing the hotel as would
be the case to considerable extent II
the station should be placed where the
engine house is located.
ii has been thought that the real rea-
son why nothing was done was because
the Boston 4 Maine and Central YER
mcnt were unable to reach an agreement.
According to General Manager Jones oil
the Central Vermont, one reason why an
agreement has not been reached was be-
cause the officials of the two roads were
similar problem at White River junction.
According to Mr.. Jones an understanding
has now been reached by the officers OF
both corporations' as to what should be
done in both places and the wheels are
likely to be set in notion Both cross
irgs at South Vernon are dangerous and
should be removed as speedily as posi-
bic, At this season Of the year the high
wavs over the tracks of both corporations
are used by hundreds of persons daily

A Word to Embroiderers.

"OO many embroiderers fail to
do good work, because they are
. L impatient. Our ancestors used
to spend years at single piece of
work. while we begrudge few weeks
spent on any one piece. This haste to
get through in order to start some
new piece of fancy work is account
able for the slipshod, uneven. anna
flourish stitches that masquerade as
embroidery.
Really exquisite embroidery is nee
essarily slow. 1t cannot be hurried,
and one might as well reconcile them
selves to this fact. The ground work
must be well laid, the stitches should
be put close together and particular
attention should be paid to proper d.
rection and slant.
Too often edges are so uneven they
look Is if gnawed by a mouse. No Won
der women who really love the gentle
art of embroidery lose heart when they
see such sorry work passing muster
even with those who have leisure to do
better work.
No rapid transit methods for good
embroideries have yet been discovered.
We have all sorts of substitutes and
shortcuts in the way of appliques,
shadow stitch and dashing outlining,
but the exquisite stitching, which COM
mands both high price and every con-
noisseur's admiration, is necessarily
slow. Choose some other form Of deco
ration if you must, but when you en-
broider take time to do it well.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-06-30

TF YOU wish to be extremely up to
date in your needlework, you must
by all means begin at once on one
of the fascinating new blouses
where the embroidery is done in
great part on the lace insertion that
forms it's trimmings.
While the motif is suitable for
heavy linen, silk or one of the at
tractive new silk and cotton mix
lures. fine lawn or handkerchief linen
is the best choice, as batiste is so
soft as to be somewhat difficult for the
novice to handle. The lace used may
be flet, torchon, baby Irish or German
valenciennes. Five and one-haf yards
of insertion five-eighths of an inch
wide will be required, with yard and
a half of narrow edging to finish the
collar and cuff bands.
The insertion should be sewed to the
material before the embroidery is start
ed. Place the design on any good shirt
waist pa tern that closes in the back,
being sure that the large rose of the
motif comes directly in the middle Of
the front and that the lines are aoso-
Iutely straight Next sew in the yoke
between the upper blocks of the lace as
shown in the picture of the completed
blouse. This yoke may either be OF The
material sewed in horizontal or vertical
thread tucks, or il can be of an allover
heavy lace Now haste the insertion
along the lines marked, extending the
horizontal ones to the armholes, and
stitch it along both edges on the ma
chine, using a fine stitch The eXpe-
rienCed worker can cut out the tnd-
terial underneath before doing the en-
broidery. 1t is better, however, for the
average woman to defer this until the
work is finished as it is much easier to
embroider on the two thicknesses than
on the lace alone. In either case be sure
not to cut too close. Allow enough 10
turn back and stitch again on the ma
chine, or to finish by hand by rolling
and overcasting. Great care must 20
exercised not to snip mesh of the lace.
IL the embroidery has been done through
both lace and material, cut closely
around the design and on both sides Of
the stems.
The design, which represents con-
ventionalzed rose and buttercups, re-
quires, though apparently difficult. few
stitches Lot already described many
times on his page. The solid parts of
the flowers. the calyx and foliage are
first padded in chain stitch and then
covered in satin stitch. The small but
ter; all the rest of the stitches follow
the outline The anthers in the large
central flower may be done soldly or
can be pierced and worked as eyelets.
The stems should be done in cording
stitch, or, if one wishes to take the
extra lime, in very fine over-and-over
stitch.

To seed. start the thread on the wrong
side, bring the needle up through the
material, go back a distance of two or
three threads, insert the needle again
and bring it up the same distance ahead
of where first put in; go back,
insert the needle in the forward hole Of
the first stitch, bring up the same dis
lance ahead to start the third stitch
and repeat until the row is finished.
The stitches in the separate rows are
kept as nearly as possible opposite each
other Some people use a darning
stitch for seeding, but the back stitch
gives a more raised effect to the work.
The collar motif may be used for the
cuffs by only stamping enough of the
design to encircle the forearm or wrist,
according as the sleeve is cut long or
just to turn the elbow.

chain stitch over the entire design.
In working scallop telling is par
ticularly important, as otherwise the
cut-out edge wears qquickly. An easy
way to pad a regular scallop is to fasten
soft cord or many strands Of cotton
to one end Of the work, and buttonhole
ever it. The cotton need not be tackled,
merely held loosely in one hand. In
finishing off the threads a stitch or two
may be taken through the cord to hold
it firmly but this is not necessary.
Choose cord long enough to go round
the entire design, as it cannot be pieced.
Fasten it securely before finishing the
last scallop. If stiff cord is chosen it
will cut through the outer covering. A
good filling is to wind together three
balls Of darning cotton, thus making one
heavy strand Any soft cotton untwiiled
cord will answer, however.
