Necktie of Beads

NR UGH has been said from time to
wv time about the little neckties
which encircle the neck below
the collar and hang in a loose knot on
the front Of the blouse. Sometimes they
are Of black velvet. sometimes they are
merely string OF heavy Jet beads and
some are just bias band Of satin. In a
shade that appeals to the fancy OF the
wearer. For instance. IL one Is wearing
an entire suit in dark tobacco brown n
Is good idea to liven up the somber
effect by wearing little tie of sky-biue
satin. 1t should be made on the bias.
but the finished tie should not be mora
than one-half inch wide. At the end
OF the tie are usually two silver bead
tassels
Now q new sort Of tie has been made
entirely OF beads-and It is lust as 90.
fective and pretty as 1t can be. be-
sides being extremely easy to make. lt
requires only a piece OF plain white
cord. about one-quarter Of an inch th,ck
ana string OF beads. To make the tie
one buys a great many glass beads. OF
one color. and strings them on a heavv
thread: then winds the string round ana
round the cord until the tie of sufficient
length Is made. The ends are finished
with deep bead tasseIs. and the whole
IL most attractive addition to anv
costume. OF course. the beads may vary
In color: one may buy any shade. What
more pleasing gift could there be for n
friend than such a tie?

How to Apply the
Design

THERE are two ways to apply
L this design to the material
upon which you.wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the ike-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and. with a wel.-pointed PEN
Gil, draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it. face down. upon tho
material; lay the pattern upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of a steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper. you will find a neat ard
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is.
see that your material is level-cut
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 possibly slip dur
ing the operation.
Transfer paper comes in white.
black, blue, red and yellow. I adj
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible. as the black and blue
are so likely to crack.
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.

~ UR luncheon set In wild carrot
design received such an en-
thusiastic welcome that I went
right to work TO secure an
other set, which I trust will be quite as
popular In my own mind l have not
the slightest doubt about its reception.
for the motif Is the field daisy. and
know. by long experience. that this APP
peals to every embroiderer. No flower
lends itself more gracefully to needle
work designs than does the little wild
flower of the fields. 1t is most deeora-
tive and the petals. being slender and
long, are especially suitable Tor the
over-and-OVer stitch.
the one stitch which is known
the "over-and-over." the "solid,'' the
French" or ''satin'-in fact. it will
come If called by any one of these
names.
The working of this stitch of many
names Is very siml lie to describe. To
execute it satisfactorily one needs to
possess some idea of symmetry and bal
ance. and one must be accurate in per-
forming the work. For instance, in
padding the petals Of a daisy one must
way that one petal is fat while the
next one is lean. 1t is not always the
amount of cotton used in padding which
makes this difference: it is frequently
due to the loose or tight drawing of the
thread-so one should learn to make her
stitches uniform. A soft. UNFINISHED
darning thread is good for padding
Never use the tightly twisted cotton.
Begin by running the outline of the de-
sign, then fill in the place to be en-
broldered with long stitches done on
the principle of Kensington stitch.
The direction of the padding stitches
should be just opposite to the direction
of the embroidering stitches, so, in the
case of daisies. the petals should be
padded lengthwise. while the embroid-
cry stitches run in a crosswise direc-
ton.
Stems may be embroidered In solid
stitch. having first run them with one
two or more Notwithstanding to the
thickness of the stem. Stem stitch is
however, more often employed and. for
slender stems, is far more satisfactory.

This design. as you will see. is semi-con-
ventional. and is suitable only for all
white embroidery. The mercerized en-
broidery cotton is the most satisfactory
thread. 1t has all the advantages of silk
and none ot its disadvantages. There is
that attractive luSter. and yet it returns

Workbags of Scrim

CCRIM becomes more popular every
day and now pretty workbags are
- made Of this facile and inexpen-
sive material. The weave is so coarse
and the thread SO fine that it is easily
embroidered in many ways. and when
lined with a light lawn the result Is
charming.
The one seen was lined with pink.
while pink embroidery ribbon formed
dainty primroses on both sides.
What good idea it would be to have
three such bags, ore pink. one yellow
and one blue The first might be re-
served for the little bits Of embroidery
usually on hand in summer. the second
would be appropriate for mending. and
the third might be kept for the un-
darned stockings which collect with
such alarming rapidity.
with such an arrangement one could
tell at a glance which bag contained the
work desired at the moment, and 1t
would save much confusion.
They need not each be embroidered In
the same way. either. If the pink were
decorated with primroses. the yellow
one would be charming with daisies
bought ready made by the dozen-in
any size. The blue could be decorated
with a pretty old-fashioned cross-stitch
design in heavy blue silk floss
