Care of Hands for Embroidery

MANY women who embroider com-
 M plain of their silks and even V their mercerized cottons rough ing and catching on the hands. Often they are inclined to blame this on tho quality of the working materials. when. fin reality. 1t is the hands themselves that are at fault.
 If fingers are roughened with house. work, or are badly chapped. it will be found very difficult to work with lilo or any kind of silks.
 The housekeeper who aspires to em- broider should save her hands as much as possible. Use gloves for the rough est work. and try to keep the skin soft and smooth by a daily use of healing lotion.
 An excellent remedy for the roughened places is to rub them with a fine punice stone. Always dry the hands well after using them in water. and rub in some simple lotion. Lemon-juice and glycerins are excellent, except for those people who cannot use the latter. Any good cold cream or lotion for chapped skin should. however keep the hands in good condition and prevent that annoying catching of the silk on the rough places. which Is as trying to the nerves of the worker as it is bad for the silk and the smoothness of the finished work

The sleeves are separate. and may be pasted into any gown. and the guimpe Is cut in broad, stole-like effect. that can be pinned to the waistband in front. The back forms quite shallow yoke, but it could also be made exactly like the front.
 The frilled strips on the front of the plain or tucked shirtwaists opening in front, which are now so much worn, are a truly delectable novelty in the way of accessories. though 1t is doubt ful if the laundress would agree, unless her mistress is that rara avis even among practical girls, one who bastes the tiny pleats carefully before putting them in the wash
 Such strips may be made to attach un- der the point of a shaped linen collar opening at the back and embroidered to match, or it can be quite separate and "iSh d COlldE or any style It is more attractive to have band, button, tie and strip to har- mpnize.
 There is infinite variety in the fash ioning of these strips. Many of them are of sheer linen. embroidered with borders of dots or running scrolls, and edged with fine pleating of the ma terial. Often this pleating is button shoied in very tiny scallop in white or coiors; sometimes 1t is bound in a color or narrow hem is fagoted on, and the embroidery on the strip is done in mer- cerized cottons of the same color.
 Bands of embroidery and lace are also much liked; indeed, machine-made bands. lace-trimmed, can be bought The fine ones. however. are costly. and there are few girls who do not own

Planning the Sewing

T%HE procrastination which Is the
 thief of the home seamstress'
 \ time Is the putting of of plan ming how things shall be made. The material is laid out. ready to cut. and then pattern books are resorted to. Very often, even when it is merely a decision of bias or straight, a round yoke or a square one. ruffies or tucks. not a thought has been given to the anticipat- ed work until the scissors are actually in hand. Sometimes half a morning will be lost in trying to decide some trivial point.
 The time to begin to think about styles is when the material Is first in hand. One need not decide all In moment. but one. at least. has an op- portunity of deciding what one would not have under any circumstances. This sits matters down to few avail able fashions. When man has some all-absorbing proposition in hand. he does not cease thinking about it until the work must begin. He has the de- tails all thought out ahead of time If a woman will do this with her sewing. she will find it of great advantage. She need take time from nothing else to do 1t. She may darn stockings or do the weeks mending without any expendi- ture of brain. Why not use her brain then, for planning instead of filling it with idle speculation or weary repining. as Is often the case?
 Other peoples clothes help one out wonderfully, too. Going down in the street cars. if one Is alert. many problem may be solved without dlfti culty by noting what some one is wear ing. The peculiar angle of q feather. the elegant touch given by some sim pie trimming, the turn of braid or tne suggestion of pointed yoke instead of a square one. may all fall in line with ones own goods and taste, and To. when material and scissors are at hand, one need not hesitate for want of ideas. There is nothing to do but go ahead. And the time one has expended in ad- vance has been ilched from nothing. The thought has filled an otherwise mentally idle moment.

When Sleeves Are Too Short

W THAT would you do if when your M waist was finished you were w disgusted to find that the sleeves were too short? Well. the first thing to do is to find out whether the sleeves twist. even the least mite. If this Is the case. they are in wrong. and that may be the only thing that causes them to be short So there is only one course to pursue-rip them out and haste them In again differently. If the evil is still there, the next thing is to find out whether a small piece inserted under the arm will not correct the trou- ble. Very often a sleeve is not shoTt all around. The under part may have been cut out little too deeply. A crescent shaped piece of not more than an inch sometimes will correct the defect en- tirely and make the sleeve easy. When sleeves pull up uncomfortably. 1t is nearly always because they are too short under the arm.
 The shortness. however, may not al- ways be In the sleeve itself; sometimes

the waist has been cut out too far. fn that case. the crescent-shaped piece should be added to the waist and not to the sleeve. If you know that 1t is the waist which Is at fault. do not hope to correct 1t by adding to the sleeve. This will only make an awkward-iook- ing place and will never be satisfactory in the wearing. To make the seam of the piecing show as little as possible, the added piece should be slipped un- der This turns the edge of the seam toward the arm.

elephants a.pllIn' Teak"

1t Is the work Of piling logs that
the extraordinary intelligence OF the
elephant is best shown, says the Lon
don Mail. In the saw-mills elephants
are used in every department. One
will drag a log out of the water to
the saw-bench, and with his tusks
place 1t on the table, while at the
other end his mate is waiting; and,
when the buzzing circular saw has
converted the round tree into a four
sided log he lifts it off the bench,
places 1t on the ground, and drags 1t
out to the storage yard, where he puts
it carefully into position, placing one
log exactly on the top Of the other
with wonderful precision, Elephants
can pile logs to the height of their
foreheads. When the squared logs
are wanted for shipment, the elephant
picks out the required number, and
drags them down to the waterside,
and, when necessary, enters the river
and holds the logs in position while
they are being bound together by the
raftsmen. After that he leaves the
log to mans devices.

"Hlpl Hlpl Hurrah!"

Hip! HIP! Hurrah!" Is the MOD
srn phrase. The "hlp!" and "hur'
sah!" do not seem to have come to
eether before the nineteenth century,
In the eighteenth century "hip!"
amounted to just "hi" or "hullo!'
while "hurrah" was then usually "hus'
za!" It is like the Cossack shout
"ora!" but It Is supposed to have been
a German cry Of the chase, adapted
by the German soldiers to war. ana
borrowed from them by the English,
perhaps first Of all at the time Ok

said to have been the battle cry OF
the Prussians in the war Of liberf

fact that seventeenth and eighteenth
century writer's call "huzza!" sail

lecture that It may really have been

Then Edna began to cry as loud

But before she got to ten something
funny happened. The old gray kitty,
which had all this time been lying
quietly before the fire, suddenly
jumped up and walked straight into
the closet. She caught Edna's wrist
between her fur paws and bit and
scratched it-not very hard, of course,
but quite hard enough to surprise and
frighten the little girl into keeping as
still as a mouse for as much as a
minute. Then the old kitty walked
back to the mat before the fire and
curled herself down for another nan,

Bobby the Bat.

Did you ever hear the story of Bob
by the Bat?
Bobby lived in barn, which is, Of
course, the proper place for bats to
live in. 1t was rather slow, though,
because all well-bred bats sleep most
of their time, and he felt quite wide
awake. And when your relations are
sleep and you are very much awake It
Is awkward.
Grandfather Bat would remark: "Tt's
so much more dignifed to rest on ones
laurels than to 60 gadding about"
But where are the laurels?" said
Bobby; for there was no sign Of them
in the barn.

Bat; and went of to sleep again, snor.

cried Bobby, impatiently.

mother Bat. But Bobby thought he
should like to find out for himself and
try his lovely black wings; so off he
fed when twilight fell, for bats always
fly at night.
Finding farmhouse window open
he few into room where some chill
dren were playing, "for surely" he said
to himself, this must be the world"
But Bobby was not prepared for the
piercing screams that greeted him,
and wondered what had happened.
Whatever is the matter, chidren?"
cried a lady, running into the room.
oh! mother! such horrible-look-
ing creature" said one Of the children;

There is nothing horrible about a
bat" said their mother. "They are
inoffensive little animals; and this one
has flown in by mistake"

with fright and trying to bite her, and

look at him.

they cried. ...

was not long flying home.
