quires. Let the distance between the

will be no crease. cut a circle of the ma

w problem is how to fasten the
ornaments in place. Fine thread
and needles do not seem to be adequate
for the purpose, and. In fact. they are
not. The best thread to use is black
shoe thread and the best needle is So
called glove needle'-one with a three
sided point that may be run easily
through almost any substance. With
these two allies at hand IL is not so very
difficult 10 sew whatever is required, but
II is worth while to mention the differ
ent sorts OF trimming and how to sew
each 10 the hat
Velvet bows should always be made
with shoe thread, and IL should be wrap
ped around the loops of the bow so 1t
Will be quite firm. 1t should then be
sewn To the hat with the same thread
ana The needle just described.
Quilts and feathers may be attached to
the hat in The same way, but when the
tips OF ostrich plumes must be caught
and held al a required angle IL is better
10 use u very fine black thread and a
NO. 10 needle. The stitches are then
practically invisible. and the result will
be very satisfactory.
Wire may be sewn to felt with a
rather coarse thread, about No. 30. while
facings should be blind-stitched into
place with fine cotton or silk thread and
flne needle. When bows need TO be
stlfened, the wire should be slim
stitched the entire length of the loop to

must be done f. more lightly than
upon a solid fabric. There is little

taken not to quicker the material by
too tightly drawn stitches. Such work
should be done in an embroidery
frame, and it is often good idea to
hack the material with firm SILK
muslin-this is essential in the matter
of embroidering net. The embroidery
is done through both thicknesses OF
material, the backing being cut away
after the embroidery Is completed.

ting needle. Upon lifting the pattern and
transfer paper, you will find neat and
accurate impression Of the design upon
your material.
There are two points to observe in this
simple process, if you would execute it sat
lsfactorily. One is, see that your material
is level-cut and folded by thread-and
that your design is place upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accurately,
secure the design to the material with
thumb tacks or pins so that they cannot
slip during the operation.
Transfer paper comes in white, black,
blue, red and yellow. I advise the use Of
the lighter colors when possible, as the
black and blue are so liable to crock.
Do not rest your hand or fingers upon
any part of the design you are transfer
ring, else the imprint of hand or fingers
will be as distinct upon the material as the
drawn lines of the design

applying the design to a blouse the
scallops OF the collar may be omitted
and the design embroidered upon sufti-
GENTLY wide piece of material to form
stock closing in the back. The cuff de-
sign may be stamped directly upon the
bottom of the long tucked sleeve. ana
the scallop may be omitted or used as
finish.
These little sprays Of roses "ouio
also be most attractive embroidered
upon silk or pongee. The japanese en-
broidered silk waists are so perfectly
beautiful that 1 should think a girl or
the season would turn her attention
most industriously to embroidering SILK
waists. The work is quite as easy upon
silk as upon linen, and the shirtwaist
or blouse may be selected to match IN
color or to harmonic with any cos
tune for fall or winter.
For the tailored suits pongee Is ap-
nropriate and for the more dressy
costume one Of the soft satins or the
finest China silk would be lovely.

A gentleman who attended the

there were just about twenty voters,
about half Republicans and half Dem

there were a few stragglers, and one
Prohibitionist who was drunk. The
man said Mr.. Barnes talked Of what
the Democrats had done for the state
institutions, the Normal schools in
particular and he thought Barnes
ought to know for he held an appoint
ment as Principal long enough after
the Republicans came in to find out.
At the time he helped get the biggest
appropriation for teachers salaries he
was serving under a Republican board.
