Closely set knots. each one OF which Is
made very tight and smooth and sey
close together.
The trouble With most emkroldcrers
Is that they do not attempt TO do these
knots evenly, so rough. loose ends and
loops result.
To make 4 knot correctly The thread
must he brought through tile material
exactly where the knot Is TO go. Then
wind the thread around the needle two
Or three times. The oftencr It Is done
thc larger and flrmer will be the knot
Put the needle down close beside
where the thread came ur.
The most important part OF the work
is nj this point, for IL the thread is not
held perfectly taut with the thumb the
topped effect is Inevitable.
Though the French knot is now en-
pioyed almost exclusively for floral
designs, 1t has served for other pur-
poses In times past
In the earliest ecclesiastical embroid-
cries 1t was used TO represent the hair
of men and Of angels. while In even
more ancient examples OF Chinese art
necdlework 1t was employed for the
flesh OF the queer Celestial figures aud
was scattered like stlpple oven the en-
tire surface of the embroidery.
Today the French knot is much used
instead OF embroidered dots on conven.
tionnl landings and trimmings. but is
scarcely as serviceable, especially for
materials that require laundering, rs
the raised dot in satin stitch. which
washes much better.

Frightening Leather Frames.

The raised embossed leather frames
which are so much in evidence in most
households soon get hopelessly shabby.
Usually they can be freshened by
special polishes which are prepared for
different kinds OF leather and which
should be bought at reliable dealers.
They come in different colors and even
tones, but often having the effect of
making the article dark and dingy
looking.
This can be overcome on certain
kinds OF leather by rubbing 1t from
time TO time with turpentinc TO take
of the stains and then applying lit
tie crude oil TO prevent stiffcning and
cracking. Do not use much of the oil
and rub it in we'll with clean piece
OF flannel
Ii is well TO be sure. however. before
trying this treatment that the article
to be cleaned Is really leather and not
n composition. as is too often the case.
Otherwise the colorlng might he affect
ed by the turpcntinc
After the oil has been well rubbed in
the surface should be gently polished

MIR. H. M. Parks Celebrat teS
His Fifty-ffth Birthday.

in your valuable paper for few
of the Bethel happenings.
The most enjoyable social func-
ton of the month was the an
nual celebration of the birthday
of Mr.. III. M. Parks, on the 18th
inst. On Tuesday morning the
crowd began to assemble at this
hospitabIe home to which thew
had been previously invited, and
at an early hour men, women and
children could be seen coming in
all directions, mainly by the pc
destrian mode of travel, as they
chose this means OF transport a.
tion rather than reduce the ranks
of the army against Gen. Gree n,
and ride. But regardless of the
way, they came. By the noon
hour fully seventy-five eager
faces were turned on the large ta-
BILE which was being spread in the
beautiful grove in front of the
house, and when it was announ-
ced that all was ready, this fes-
live board literally groaned un-
der its weight of good things to
eat. Your correspondent was
not permitted to witness the
work done by any except the
first table, but when those who
know Rev. Mr.. McKissick, Il. p.
Plyler and Geo. Phillips, are
told that they went away lament
ing the fact that they could not
even taste of all the varied as
sortment of good things, it is
| su1lclent evidence TO convince
them that plenty was there in
abundance.
The afternoon was spent in
pleasant lounging and conversa
ton and all went away feeling
that it was good to have beer
there that day.
