perfectly plain pair of suede slim

the two central ones add the wearer's
initial in simple black capital, with a
flower on each side of it and one under

tive mass Of embroidery in the middle

flowers make a bowknot with two loops

quarter inches deep. This requires the
strips to be twelve inches long, which
are folded as is an envelope, with the

The foundation of the purse is made of
the heaviest white canvas, cut e:,ac.iv
like the linen covering except for the

The linen. which should be of a fine

the point embroidered. This may be
done in several ways. 1t is quite stylish

padded monogram done in satin stitch.

with Reticella designs. This favor

squares and eyelets in different shapes

keeper can have too many
such table accessories. The
best way to secure them
is to work them for ones
self, for prices of such
things are USUALLY quite
appalling. AS the en-
broidery of a centrcp:ece

usually quite an undertake
ing even for a woman of
unlimited time, it is i'm
portant to select a style
of work that may be as
quickly done as possible.
This need the Wallachian
embroidery admirably fills.
The certrepiece shown
today, which. by the way,
is an unusually graceful
design, requires no pad
ding. Many people, how
ever, prefer to run a
straight line Of padding
around the edges of the
pattern, especially on the
outer borders. 1t is by no
means necessary. though.
The chief objection many
persons have to this en-
broidery Is that it looks

peated. Begin at the lower right-hand
corner. and. holding the thread toward

ing every stitch with a second threat
Outlining Is equally good, however.
The scallop Is buttonholed AS 1t Is

Mistaken Economy

TT is waste of money to ever buy a
cheap embroidery silk. Too much
time and nerve force is put on even
a comparatively simple piece of work
to run the risk of having it ruined at
the first washing. A silk that runs is
an abonination, and most of the chea per
silks are liable to that defect.
Do without embroidery If you will. but
never economize on the materials OF
which il is made. To do so shows any
thing but thrifty management.
