Cross-Stitch Embroidery

YHILE cross-stitch embroidery Is
w one of the simplest form, so, Of
needlework. it has always been
considered rather difficult because of the
necessity of counting stitches.
1t is with sense of relief that one
learns that cross-stitch patterns can
no be secured in the shops, not only
stamped ready for work, but stamped in
the various colors in which the designs
are to be worked.
With the mission style Of housofurnlsh-
ing cross-stitch embroideries are in
the somewhat crude combination Of red
and blue.

4 4 square of organdy.
In tile middle of one of the pieces cut
a twelve-inch circle. This piece is then
slipped over the head, and forms sort
of bertha. with points front and back
and over the shoulders.
A corner is cut from the second
square, and the straight edge formed is
sewed into the bolt.
The corner cut off is used for pocket
and the point of the bertha is sewed to
the belt.
Both these squares are finished with
plain hem. If one desired, the hem
could be edged with lace.
A little embroidery in the corners of
the squares would make quite an elab-

Men who were brought up years ago on

That the railroads responsible for
much of this change cannot of course be

In reply to the statement by The Star
that great national contest on the prohi-
bition question seems to be approaching
the New York Times says:
THE south is making its temperance reso-
lutions, as the north has. But no national
issue arose from the experiments in prohibit
ton by the northern states How can The
Star predict any other issue than one of
practical failure, especially where south
ern prohibition shall apply to large munich
paities?
The Star has made no pred ctions as to
the result of such a contest. and has none
to make. 1t has merely called attention to
the very surprising growth of temperance
sentiment throughout the country. and the
strong character of the public men who
represent it. There is nothing to compare
with it in our affairs. Even the democrats
of Kentucky are appealing to 1t IN their
present state race. Think of that! Had
anybody predicted such thing ten years
ago he would have BEEN laughed at
