Saloon Keeper, However, Puts by the
Elusive Cubes Forever.

A ban placed on dice shaking in
saloons viii work a hardship on the
proprietor of a certain barroom on
Delaware street, says the Kansas
City journal. This particular
dramshop keeper is fond of shaking
dice, so much that he would shake a
man for the saloon as quickly as for
a drink. The other day when it first
commenced to sleet he wanted a pair
Of rubbers and every acquaintance
that entered his place of business he
bantered for a game of dice for a
pair Of rubbers. The first several
challenges met with refusals, but
finally young man who works in a
drug store a block away dropped in
and when challenged to shake
game of dice for a pair of rubbers
by the saloon proprietor accepted.
The bones were rolled. The drug
clerk lost.
On the strength of winning a pair
Of rubbers the saloon man set 'em
up after he instructed the clerk to
step out and get the rubbers. He de-
parted and few minutes later a
negro porter appeared at the saloon
and handed the proprietor a neat
little package. Upon opening it he
found two small rubber bands, ac-
companied by note which read 4
hope these rubbers will fit you all
right" 1t was signed by the drug
clerk. The bystanders who had wit
messed the dice game enjoyed the
joke, but the proprietor didn't. His
only remarks were: "That's not
very funny. If had lost would
have bought him a good pair of rub
bers.o
In this same saloon the dice box
now adorns the back bar, with a
black ribbon bow tied around it and
the following written notice stuck
up at its side: "You have been a
good old box, but you've rolled your
last game"

FOR DEEP BREATHING.

To practice deep breathing draw
in the air slowly, easily and fully
When you have filled your lungs,
without straining, hold your breath
in for a few seconds, then slowly
and steadily breathe out through
the nose and keep your lungs empty
for a few seconds before another in
spiration. The muscles of the body
which the will does not directly con-
troll, like the heart and the respira-
tory organs, work rhythmically.
Therefore, in breathing, do not gasp
and hurry and change your pace
every minute. To practice the right
method, hold yourself, sitting or
standing, in a natural, erect fashion,
with your head raised. throat free
and arms hanging loosely. Do not
practice within an hour after meals
and if you get dizzy it is sign that
you should stop. Mouth breathing
causes the nose to become eventual
ly blocked up through disuse. This
has its effect on the voice. Resonance
and intensity are lost because the
sound which should ordinarily pass
through the nose is deadened.

A pretty effect for bedroom would be
to work these dots in Two tones of the

Another simple treatment of lawn
curtains would be to draw over the
surface at somewhat wide intervals
large conventional figures. say. a
sprawly chrysanthemunl. a f1ve-pofnt-
ed star or a single sunfiower, and
work them in shadow stitch in two,
or even three co!ors.
For yellow room, the chrysanthe-
mum design would be quite striking
done in three or even four shades OF
yellow, with an occasional touch OF
russell brown
In working these curtains. the mer-
cerized cottons should be used IN

EASILY MADE TRUNK SETS

very particular needlewoman puts all
this binding on by hand. but the effect
is almost as good when a fine machine

In the center of each cover place n
large monogram, or three initials an
inch to an inch and a half tall. These
may be padded and worked in n fine
satin stitch. or the papier-mache letters
can be basted on and then embroidered
in an over-and-over stitch.
Another treatment of this monogram
would be to have an open medallion OF
a floral spray or dots in the center of
each cover. with the letters worked in
side it.
The linen sets, either white or natural
colored. may be bound in a wash braid.

corresponding tint. Thus. white linen
cover might be bound in pink, with
pink monogram inside a wreath of pink
forget-me-nots.
The liren-colored covers are apt to be
dingy looking unless very carefully
treated. The usual method is to edge
them in a brown braid. Far more
effective is it to use a blue or red bind
ing. with initials the same shade. This
treatment is equally applicable to the
crash covers

If one wishes to do a more elaborate

One unusually handsome set of dark
blue linen had a buttonholed scallop in
white mercerized cotton and a conyen-
tionalized pattern IN maiden-hair fern in

This was, of course, much more work
than the average woman is willing TO
do for a set that requires at least four

4 FORM of fancy work that is very
II easy, yet has the twofold merit
of being attractive and very use
full, is trunk sets. These are not specially
new, but their practical worth makes
them perennial favorites for any one
who travels.
The chief requisite of trunk sets is
that they be washable. We use them as
a protection for our clean clothes, and
they would soon fail of their purpose if
they could not be Numbered after every
few trips.
Many dainty coverings are made of
liberty silk or surah padded with cot
ton wadding and scented with a deli
cate sachet. These, though effective
do not wash specially well, as the pad
ding becomes flimsy when wet.
Much better is it to ma Ike the different
covers of Bingham, linen or a fine
crash
When Bingham is chosen, select a nice
firm quality in pretty shade of blue
pink, green or yellow. The u or Is
cent madras is an excellent choice if
care is taken to see that the weave IS
not coarse.

naturally cannot be given, as they vary

Single or Double Thread
FTEN embroiderers are at a loss
to know whether to use a single
or double thread when working in

~ tIEN embroiderers are at q loss
to know whether to use a single
~ or double thread when working i'm
lilo silks. The advice received from sis
ter-workers is so varied that a few au-
tkoritative words on the subject may
not come amiss.
The rules that govern the use of the
single or double thread on any given
material are formulated on the general
principle that the finer and more deli
cate the figure or the material, the finer
should be the thread.
Thus. on n sheer handkerchief linen
or null, or on very small design on a
heavier fabric. use single thread of
filo throughout. Otherwise, the work
will look rough ard coarse
Sometimes, indeed. the thread is spit
for the shading i'll TIE cenIers to give 4
more delicate effect. This. however. is
very rarely necessary.
1t is a fairly safe rule for large lg-
ures or heavy materials to use two
threads Of flo, at least for the outer
eIges Frequently the entire flower is
done in the double silk, but quite as
often the outer portions and the foliage
are worked with the Two strands, while
for the shading in toward the center the
single thread is used.
This treatment gives both greater
richness and depth TO the work, besides
illing up more rapioIy-always q desid-
eiatum III an intricate piece of en-
broidery.
In using two strands of silk It is i'm
portant TO thread the needle properly
do not fold over single thread IN ire
eye, as 1t will cause tne silk TO twist
ana roughen. Instead. draw out from
the skein two threads of exactly the
same length, and thread the needle
with both together

Dainty Sachets

TIME increasing popularity of sachet
powder to make fragrant ones
belongings in chest or trunk have
led to the introduction of many charm
ing yet simple sachets.
A very pretty one can be made of a
triangular shaped piece of linen. edged
around the two sides by a narrow tor
chOn lace.
Cut a square piece of fine white linen.
by inches. and line it with similar
square of wadd;ng, through which is
scattered a liberal supply of orris root
and ones favorite sachet powder mixed.
Draw on the linen some simple con-
ventional floral spray. as wreaths Of
iorget-me- an Empire wreath or
scattered sprays of violets, roses or
pansies.
Whichever motif is chosen, work it in
natural colors. in shaded kensineton
stitch or in Kensington for the flowers
and satin and outline stitch for the
foliage.
Put the squares of linen and scented
wadding together and fold into a tri.
angular piece. Sew up the seams and
gather the lace in a soft ruffie around
the two oblique sides.

The N e6G1eYCuUse

Z Jerry often the embroiderer finds
" her silk roughing or her cotton
breaking, to the ruination alike
of tempers and work. At once she be-
gins to berate the manufacturer. and
VOWS to eschew forever that particular
make
This is. half the time, utter injustice.
Most of the standard floselles and mer-
cerized cottons can be depended upon
if given proper treatment.
Often it is the worker herself who is
at fault. A roughened hand. on which
silk catches. will ruin the looks of any
embroidery. Any woman who wants TO
do tine-looking work should be extreme
ly careful to keep her hands smooth.
More often, perhaps, she uses the
wrong kind of needle. If this is inadapt-
ed to the size of the silk. trouble will
surely follow.
A too small eye will cause the thread
TO cut and fray, because the needle
makes too small hole in the material
as it goes through for the thread to fol-
low easily. Therefore it is very apt TO
lump and knot.
\ too large eye, on the other hand.
makes unsightly marks, which the
thread does not I'LL up, and an unfinish-
ed look is given TO the work.
The best needle for embroidery is one
that will not pull and rouSnen the
thread. 1t should have smooth. long
eye, just large enough TO give the
silk plenty of play.
Experienced embro!derers have found
these numbers specially adapted 10 diff
ferent kinds of silk: \ do double s,, s5ra Hn
or No. 10 needle, while a No. L may
be used for single thread for finer
fabrics. For twisted embroidery sllh.
Roman floss or outline silk, u No. Is
best. while rope silk requires No. 3.
The mercerzed cottons naturally do
not fray and cut like a silk thread. bat
the same general rules hold good
Many people prefer 6s,t to f use o+t medium
broidery rather than the regular long
eyed embroiderer's needle.
The careful worker, moreover, viii
never allow her needle to get sticky
or rusty. She will keep her needle

use, and will take frequent advantage

A Hint to ShaderS

IN DOING fine shading which re-
ouires delicate blending Of unts
/ most embroderers have experienced
the ANNOYANCE of having to thread and
nnthread their needle TO take possibly
but a few stitches.
This means both loss of time and de-
cided inconvenience. not TO mention the
probable loss of that special thread the
next time 1t Is needed.
The experienced embroiderer knows
better She will keep on the table be-
side her number of needles, each
threaded with one of the tints employed
in her shading. Thus just the right tone
is always at band when wanted and one
source of petty discomfort and time
wasting removed.
