Combinations in Embroidery

r. MBROIDERERS are learning
r. more and more to combine stitch
- es and colors. and the latest idea
is to use wallachian with he long-and-
short stitch. finished here and there
with little coronation braid. The way
this Is done Is to use the design m
tended for wallachian work, and in
stead of finishing the stitches in the
middle. as is the custom. they are car
ried all the way across. leaving the but
tonhole finish at one side and the plain
finish at the other. This plain side is
then done over again in a pale shade
Of some other color in the long-and-
short stitch. thus giving the flower or
leaf the appearance of a light shading,
which looks far more attractive than it
sounds.
Wherever outline stitch Is necessary
in stems or scrolls. the coronation braid
Is used. and this is a compa ratively
easy way to make a simple design look
intricate. for the merest child may
learn to do such work. AS though this

In spring the streets seem to be crowd
ed with humanity with panied express
sions on their faces. treading as though
terra firma were a much more fragile
substance than it is. A relief. however.
has at last been discovered by some
wise person whom necessity trans
formed, into an inventor.
Paste a piece of velvet inside the heel
of the shoe. OF course. with the side Of
the nap toward the foot. and this will
effectually prevent any slipping or rub
bling. 1t is very easy to do. costs but
q very few cents. and any good liquid
glue may be used. SO that at last an
effectual and easy preventative for slip
ping heels has been found.

TN EUROPE there is in common use
a medicine bottle with glass stop
per. which has a tiny groove rum
ming down one side of it. which corre-
spends to tiny groove in the neck OF
the bottle. These are used for medi-
cines that must be dropped. such as
nux vomica and strychnine. and. when
the stopper is turned with the groove
toward that in the bottle. the medicine
drops out easily and not too rapidly.
but. when finished. the stopper need
only be turned back SO that the two
grooves do not coincide. and the medi-
cine is protected from the air.
Thus it is not necessary to remove the
stopper from the bottle from the time 1t
is filled until the medicine has all been
used.

New Dollar Boxes for

A NEW and dainty gift which may
n be made at home is a collar box.

about three inches high covered with
denim. Such an one has been known to
have its foundation in the. wooden box
supplied with camembert cheese. but it
may be- made of any other box conven-
lent. When it is covered. it is decorated
with designs cut from wall paper, which
are appliqued on the top and round the
sides. Thus a rose would be pasted on
the top of the box. leaving the leaves to
extend over the sides and to twine
gracefully around the outer edge.

Marking Doth Brushes

THE separation Of tooth brushes Is
problem in many families. and
i there seemed to be no way or Ell
fectually insuring the individual brush
against general use until now new
and inexpensive method has been sug-
sested whereby each may know MS
own. Purchase a small piece OF linen
paper and write the name Of each MEM
Der of the family in indelible ink: cut
these names apart and sew each one to
the handle of the own
er's toothbrush.
It is better to have a
brush with a hole in the
\ handle. so that the tag
may be slipped through
and made secure by a
few stitches. If the ham
die is solid bone. de-
vice may be scratched
upon 1t with a sharp
penknife and written
over with red ink. This
will stand wetting for a
number OF times. and.
when the ink has disap-
peared. 1t may be easily
replaced without loss OF
time.

some Of them are really discerning,

dispense with tags. / wonder!
Years ago the magazines did not
tag their articles unless they were
by men who had been tagged for
years, men like Anthony Trollope and
Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins
What was the result? Why, people
had no opinion of American literature,
but read English books in preference
to those written by Americans. Then
some magazine started the fashion of
tagging; literary journals sprang up
to puff those tagged, and it acted as
a direct stimulus on the writer's, and
also enabled the readers to express in
telligent opinions.
To-day, if we read an essay by
| HowellS We know it is good; we feel
| that we are right in liking it. and we
| say SO. But if the same essay were
| signed X. X. Smith, while we might
| be pleased at it, we would not go
around saying, ooh, have you read the
essay of man named Smith in the
| Aroma?" because it is rather ridicu-
| lous to enthuse over an unknown man.
Now and then the ordinary run of
mortals enjoys the huge farce that is
enacted when number of art critics
dispute as to whether a newly dis
| covered picture is by one of the old
Dutch masters or not. The picture
has swallowed its tag, and they are all
| at sea. There are two sides to the

take opposing sides.

portion of each.
At all events 1T is declared to be an
incident in the life of Baharam V. of

cording to legend and plaque, was a
wonderful archer. During one of his
hunting expeditions, on which his ia
vorite wife had accompanied him. he
shot sleeping antelope with such pre-

The antelope awoke and, believing him
self annoyed by fly. put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelopes hoof TO his horn.
The kings wife merely said, "Prac-
.tice makes perfect" which touched
the pride of her royal spouse.
Indeed. as sthe penalty for her plain
speaking she was sent out into the
mountains to perish. but instead found
shelter in a village. Here she lodged
in an upper room assembled by twenty
steps and. having bought a calf. car
ried it up and down every day. The
king. passing by four years later. was
amazed at seeing young woman car

them one that he knew was in strug-
Cling circumstances and supporting a
sick mother on none too healthy sal
airy. She had come into the store and
laid her purse and somber widow hat
on the counter while she did something
about the place. The large fieshy man
got between her and the purse, and
when she was not looking he slipped a
five dollar bill into it and moved IN
consciously about his business. IN the
afternoon he noticed that she had a
red spot in each cheek. and she was
heard asking other girls if they be-
lieyed in fairies. She never solved the
mystery-it was two years ago-and
never will unless She reads this. But
the five dollar bill was very useful in
its little way, and the large Respondent
man felt so good for two whole days
that he hip=hopped on the sidewalk on
his way home Minneapolis Journal.
