Bisbee daily review., 1908-05-24

is at last passing. and that milady hes successfully recovered from her attack of equal suffrage etc, and Is sufficiently oonvsl eseent to settle down once more to her home and her husband and her children.
 The knitting needle seems to hold more interest for her just now than the ballot, and she is planning all sorts of pretty things for spring and summer wear. Wool is, of course, triAe warm, but then ope must prepare for chilly nights and unexpected cold spells, and she is making herself knitted shswls and kimonos, the latter to be worn instead of the airy little creation Of silk and lace, nainsook and lace, whenever the thermometer takes sudden drop.
 She also makes efghans, which are designed to be placed neatly folded upon the foot of the couch, for decoration mostly, but convenient to throw over one when indulging in an afternoon nap. Raby's socks and sacks nIIfst, of course be of wool ihe year round, and this season he is going to have an unprecedented supply.
 Even when she finds articles made of wool too warm even for the chiliest days of summer, che finds no necessity for giving up her knitting, because she can mercerized cotton instead. This fabric may be had for fifty cents hank, and makes up into very serviceable and good looking things.
 Belts made of mercerised cotton very pret- ts. and bid fair to be very popular this summer Not quite a hank is required to make belt. and when has tie to match, the effect is very good.
 Bedroom slippers of nercerized cotton are con- venient things to own, for, of course woolen slip pers would not do for warm weather. One hank will make pair of slippers, while the quilted solss may be bought for twenty-five cents. The addition ofsa yard and half of ribbon to finish them of at the top will complete a pair of slippers gotten up for less than dollar.
 This merceTized cotton may be used to advan- taEe for other purposes, especially for dress trimmings This may seem an odd way of gar nishing a gown, but it is nevertheless strictly up-to-dste. This trimming looks well with sbantung silk, and it is especially charming when combined with muslin and broderie Anglaise It may be used as edgings, insertions, motifs, cords, ornaments upon buttons and for such accessories collars, cuffs and vests.
 4 charming yoke may be done in this work with points of the crochet down the centre of the front. You should have the pattern xcIl planned beforehand and you should be careful to make the points the right length SO as to avoid the necessity of cutting the crochet
 Floral crochet is much used dress trimming. and it is generally worked in colored thread and sewn on to groundwork of crochet which is to be done in either cream or white
 Crochet buttons are enjoying cutie q vou,,e just now. These may be either entirely of ero- chst, CT else combined with linen and enbroid. cry. The crochet ornamentations are to h. placed nJop wooden button moulds of the neces- ssry size, which have been previously covered with some suitable material.
 The crooheted cover is not to be worked upon the button itsef, but perfectly Hat, and of size sufficient to permit of it's being turned over the edges of the button to the back, where it is to be gathered into shape and secured with a needle and thread.
 For those who are just beginning this delight ful branch of needle-craft, and who are trying to decipher the various directions given in the pub hea4ions on this subject, some explanation of the more common knitting terms will not be cut Q! place,
