BERLIN WOOL WORK AGAIN.
Fashions Wheel Has Brought OLD
Timer Into Favor.

So many OF our new things" turn
out 10 be old things slightly disguised
and brought into fashion by turn
OF the wheel. Here's Berlin work as
the latest arrivs. This Is work In
wocls on canvas in either cross or
tent" stitch The cross-stitch is the
easier and. On the whole, the better
adapted to elaborate patterns. Il was
in cross-stitch that the danes OF olden
days embroidered the elaborate tapes
tries that adorned the walls Of hall
and castle. some OF which are highly
esteemed as art treasures.
II girl is very enterprising and
wishes TO give very handsome pres
ent TO some friend. she could not do
better than work chairback and seat
cover. The back OF the chair might be
worked In the coat OF arms OF the
recipient. Cross-stitch lends itself
particularly well 10 such conventional
designs. The seat OF the chair might
be the crest only. Care must be taken
TO do the work in the very best grade
OF woods. as the others are liable 10
fade Sofa pillows worked in cross
stitch are always acceptable, and
many charming patterns (most OF
them old ones revived) are shown this
season. Hand fire screens are very
pretty. but they should be worked in
silk on very fine canvas. A very little
practice will enable any girl 10 pick
out even the most complicated pattern
with ease. but for the lazy. patterns
are bought already stamped on the
material.-Detroit Free Press.

 One day when the fleet was at Spezia the commander-in-c chief signaled for all the captains to assemble on the flagship, where he had to explain the theme of the manoeuvres. The charts were spread on table on the quarter deck and the admiral, surrounded by the captains began to point out what each ship was expected to do.

When the Duke was promoted to be sub-lieutenant he gave gold watches with his monogram to all his schoolfellows of the academy The Duke is very modest and hardly
