If it had not been for what Mr.. w.
F. Stevenson said at Asheville, 1t is
probable that there would not have
been quite such hullabaloo over Sen
ator- Editor Appelt's editorial. 1t is a
pity however, that the senate had not
gone on and expelled Mr.. Applet from
the senate as the crowd that refused
to endorse the dispensary winding up
commission seemed to desire. Mr.. Ap-
pelt knows that he is right, and he Is
man enough to stand his ground. Had
the mad senators only pushed things to

had the effect of bringing the people to

Embroidered Stockings

wv HY not embroider pair of
w stockings for one OF your
friends for Christmas? This
IS not very difficult undertaking. II
Is only necessary to outline a tiny
flower upon the stockings. and this
may be done by the use OF transfer
paper or by the regular stamping
process. 1t is always wise when en-
broidering stockings to use q very
fine needle and very fine thread and to
do the work over a darning egg. The
stocking should be held very tight
otherwise when IT Is put on Ii will
tear round the embroidery. Tho de-
sign should be placed at the bend OF
the ankle. in a straight line with the re-
enforcement in the heel. Be very sure.
however. to see that II is directly in
the middle of the stocking and not
toward one side. If a design is too Diff
ficult 10 handle. why not embroider the
initial? The best color to use Is blue
or pink. Red is somewhat too star
thing. and. unless the girl who Is 70
receive the gift wears n great deal Of
yellow. she will not find even a pair OF
stockings thus decorated very useful.

1t is on account Of this that I have
promised to suggest for you each week
a dainty yet fairly easy bit Of en-
broidery. for know that you will find
it a great help. AS the holidays ap-
proach busy women do not have much
opportunity to go out to find new ideas.
and can reach you hight in your
homes, so you need waste no time.
Today am offering to you towel ends.
three dainty little designs with which to
embroider the ordinary hand towels Of
huckaback You know that nowadays
the careful housekeeper loves to have
her towels hand-scalloped. and. indeed.
the buttonholing around the edge forms
a finish which wears remarkably we'll
and stands innumerable trips to the tub.
An embroidered towel is really far
more serviceable than the fringed OF
even the hemstitched towel The former
soon wears away, while the threads OF
the latter frequently break during. the
process of laundering.

ring bags. merely pieces Of ribbon about
two inches wide and eight inches long,

and covered with ribbon. The top may
be gathered up with a few strands OF
embroidery floss. or you may put casing
round it. A bag Of this sort is sufficient.
but IL you wish to spend more time upon
it, get a three-inch ribbon and turn up
one inch round the bottom. This may
be partitioned off into pockets so that
each ring will have a separate place or
its own Nothing could be easier made
than a gift such as this; nothing could
be less expensive, and, surely. nothing
could be daintier and more attractive.

The third design includes not only a
very long and pretty scallop. but at one
END there Is also the shield. which
should inclose the single initial. The de-
sign. while it is seemingly elaborate. Is
composed Of daisies. which may be done
in the simplest OF satin stitches. The
other end Of the towel is merely finish
ed with the long buttonholed scallops

begin to embroider linen Of any kind.
whether 1t be finest damask or coarsest
sheeting. without first padding your
work. It may seem to you like waste
Of time. but the finished design wears
SO much better and looks so much pref
tier that she who has once learned to
pad will not be content to do even the
ittlest dot without it.
Remember that the average woman
would prefer even two good towels. with
hand-embroidered edges. to use for very
best company. to q practically useless
bit Of bric-a-brac.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-11-29

When embroidering the towel ends
the only stitch that will be satisfac-
tory Is the solid or satin stitch. 1t
would be impossible to do eyelet work
on huckaback. for the material could
not be cut away like ordinary linen,
nor would eyelets be appropriate.
Is VERY PRETTY
Tho design with the plain scalloped
edge and the arrangement OF dots is
very pretty and very quickly done. The
whole should be padded with white
darning cotton done in a loose chain
stitch. and then the solid stitch may be
worked in with embroidery cotton in
white.
The daisy design, with the long, I'M
even scallop. is very effective. and,
while It looks fairly difficult. 1t Is really
quickly done. Even six towels done in
such a design would be regarded as .
blessing by any housekeeper.

and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. l adj
wise 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
transferring, else the imprint OF
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste

is to lay the material over the de-

draw over each line.
