How to Apply Coronation Braid

IT MUST be sewed on neatly and
carefully to insure pleasing and
L durable results.
The braid must be firmly stitched in
place. The worker who merely takes
one or two over-and-over stitches be-
tween each two sections of the braid
will find it impossible to keep the
stamped outline, especially on curved
lines.
On sheer material where the stamp
ing shows through, the cord may be
sewed on the wrong side hemming it in
place with firm stitches.
When done on heavy material, the
cord must be sewed on the right side,
using a Kind of slip or blind stitch
on the section, and taking one or two
overland stitches between them.

Cotton for Embroidery

NHO ST women who consider the irk-
M some darning they must do and
the fascinating embroidery they
love to do as irreconcilably separated
would be surprised to hear of using
darning materials for fancy work.
Not in making artistic darns-though.
as matter Of fact, every darn should
be a thing Of beauty-but by using darn
ing cotton for solid work on linen and
kindred materials.
One very pretty parasol worked in
this manner was recently seen. The
sunshade itself was an inexpensive,
natural colored linen one. costing just
one dollar, and it was embroidered with
q heavy design of dots and wide seal
lops. in ordinary brown darnlpg cot
ton.
On one side was worked the owners
monogram in a very light tan. Around
the design was a line of cotton, with
two strands of linen, caught up by the
needle at distances of one inch. The
effect was striking. and the work was
easy. to say nothing Of the indnitesimaI
cost.

French Embroidery

before being worked. and it is
only after much practice that one be-

the former is badly done no amount
OF after care will produce a smooth
effect.
An uneven running or darning stitch
is the best padding to use for small
figures, though rows of chain or out
line stitches may be worked in large
spaces.
Work as many rows as desired, one
on top of the other. but be sure to
keep an even outline and have the
last or uppermost row of padding per-
fectly smooth.
This padding should be done with
the work held in the frame, but most
people find that the satin stitch works
best when held in the hand.

many embroiderers think, gives lighter
and more airy look to the work than
any other treatment.
But, the best and most popular way
to develop a chrysanthemum motif IS
along the lines shown in the photo
graph.
The petals and dots are heavily pad
ded in chain stitch with darning cot
ton and worked in satin stitch. The
lower half of each leaf is treated in
the same way, while the upper portion
is corded on the edge and filed in with
seeding, which is nothing more than
small, even backstitch, set in rows at
regular distances apart.
The stems may be outlined, corded
or done in narrow French stem stitch,
as is preferred.
The dots in the center may also be
made of French knots or eyelets. To-

Coronation Braid Hints

- ORDINATION braidwork is really
revival of the old-fashioned
" rice-cord work. and many of the
designs which have been made for its
use are thoroughly modern.
The braid of today is a wonderful inn
provement over that which was former
ly used.
1t may be bought in several different
sizes, and nowadays one has no trouble
in buying the cord in size suitable
to the background material.
The new cord is woven very smooth
and even. and one rarely meets with an
imperfect section. feature which often
caused annoyance in the old-fashioned
braid or cord.
The braid may be purchased in coiors,
thus increasing its field Of usefulness.
There is no form of embroidery more
effective or more quickly worked up
than coronation work.

but few Americans acquire this perfec-
ton of art.
A good rule to remember in acquiring
proper stitch direction is to slant each
stitch toward the heart of the flower.
If shading is to be used, the Kensing-
ton work is by far the best treatment to
choose, as much more natural effects
can be gained and the colors be more
deftly blended.
Another pretty variation Is to do one
petal of the chrysanthemum in satin
stitch and the next in seeding. This.

A Novel Use of Rafia

THE enthusiastic workers in rafia
might, by way Of change
from interminab1e weaving, use
it as working material on burlap.
Really attractive table and pillow
covers for a country home may be
evolved from burlap by working it
with a broad or narrow cross-stitch
border in raffia. Finish with a fringe
of the same. made by cutting equal
lengths of the raffla and drawing 1t
through the edge of the cover with a
crochet needle. One end should be
slightly longer than the other, and
tied over it as one would knot four
finland necktic.
For the natural-toned burlaps, the
dyed raffia should be used, while the
colored ones, especially dark green or
red, look extremely well worked in
the uncolored fibers.

Bobbin Lace

MAKING bobbin lace. it IS con-
venlent to know that, after the
L initial stitches are known, the
simple lace can be copied by making
4 blue print from small piece OF
lace desired, picking the holes in 1t,
using II as pattern for scallop
OF lmU ana Then constructing a COM
y!etC pattern from II.
Any of the lace paper patterns should
have piece of parchment of the
same width wound about the loom
spool beneath them.
The parchment is very tough. and
keeps the paper from tearing with
the repeated pinnings, and thus
drawing the lace out of shape.

How to Pad the Satin Stitch

7 N THE filling or padding of the satin
stitch lies the secret of all good
1 work.
If the former is badly done, no
amount of care will produce a result
worthy of the name.
An outline or an uneven running
darning stitch is the best padding to
use for small figures, though rows Of
chain and double outline may be worked
in large spaces.
Be sure to have an even outline, and
keep the padding perfectly smooth.

The embroidery is so rich so effective
and so quickly done that it will surely
take, to a great extent, the place OF
shadow embroidery, that So long has
held sway.
Wallachian can be done on coarse or
fine material. and with coarse or hno

on linen, but when silk or cloth is used
silk thread is needed in working out tho

OUAKING OF THE EARTH
 IS A CONSTANT THING

There are two principal classes of earth quakes; those which are of volcanic ori- gin and those which arise from tectonic, or mountain building, movements of the earth's crust.
 The volcanic quakes, as the name im- plies, occur in districts of active volcan ism and originate not far below the sur face, probably at depths of less than two miles.
 The characteristics of a volcanic quake, says Discovery, are rather definite point of origin. or centrum" comparatively restricted area of disturbance and the usual absence of secondary after shocks.
 Tectonic or dislocation earthquakes are practically confined to those portions Of the earths crust which are still under going changes of elevation due to the ac- ton of mountain building forces. Sucn auakes are usually to be assigned to deep seated origin, as compared with the volcanic quakes.
 They are characterized by an indefinite or linear centrum, a great radius of in- fiuence and by succeeding subordinate shocks. which sometimes recur for months or even years. The great destructive earthquakes which have occurred within the historic period have been assigned for the most part to this class of quakes.
 Earthquakes are propagated by waves which are of four kinds: D Normal, in which the vibrations are forward and back along radii emanating from the cen- trum of the quake; @ transverse, in which the vibrations are perpendicular to the radil; (3) surface, in which the move ment is very slow, comparatively speaking and is horizontal in character; (Q epifocal. Waves of the first three classes depend for their amplitude on the elasticity of the rocks through which they pass. They are seldom visible, though they are felt to greater or less degree, and although they are propagated with different velocities, they are not always distinguishable, even by aid of seismographs.
 The waves of the fourth class, the epifocal, are those which are conspicu- ous, terrifying and destructive. They are caused when strong waves of the first two classes pass from highly

Snuirrel Kills Himself.

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
 Heart-broken because a rival threw the harpoon into him in love affair, a big, husky squirrel in the Capitol Square deliberately killed himself by Jumping from the highest point in tree yester- day afternoon. That at least, is the evidence of eye witnesses Several mem- bers of the family were being fed by strollers and the eye witnesses said that the victim of the tragedy was partic- ularly attentive to a lady friend, and after fighting for scattered peanuts gave them to her with the graciousness Of Freheh dancing master. Much to his mortlliea- ton, however, she refused them, and then accepted the same gifts from the rival.
 This turn of affairs so incensed the squirrel that, according to eye witnesses he climbed a tree, jumped out on swaying branch, gave one scream ana then came tumbling down like nish diver. He hit the brick pavement on ms nose, fracturng the bone and knocklhg out several teeth The signs also pointed to the. fact that he was internally lh- 1ured

From Harpers Weekly.
 The most recent attempt to obtain for government the control or owner ship of large business enterprises is made by application to the courts. The particular property attacked is that of the American Tobacco company. The federal government has brought an action under the sherman law charging that the company is, in fact, com bination of corporations and is monop- olizing the business of manufacturing the products of tobacco-cigarettes ci- gars, smoking tobacco, etc. The gov ernment asks the court to appoint a receiver for the business of the com pany, and this receiver is to carry on the business
 If the courts hold that this can be done, there is nothing to hinder the federal government from obtaining the full control of all business, individual as well as corporate. which it sees fit to accuse of being guilty of offending against the antitrust law. No easier way to government ownership can be imagined, nor, indeed, to the ruin of all business As to it's moral quality, the plan partakes of the nature of the sug- gestion that the constitution may be changed by constructions. or by legis- lation, or by edict and practices, in stead of by the orderly and legal proc oss of amendment.
 Under the ordinary criminal process a corporation that Is guilty of q crime may be dissolved but, first, it would be necessary to establish the fact of the crime or misdemeanor. No one, how ever, ever before heard of a law or of a decision of a court that con templated the taking away of a criminals property except by way of a fine imposed after trial and a yer dict. In this case the government does
