That useful material, burlap. has been made up in many attractive ways in the last few years, and now the needlework shops are showing desk pads handkerchief boxes and picture frames all in burlap and embroidered in soft colored silks One set was in a dark shade of green and the design was carried out in tones of wood brown. It does not take the very fine stitches or great amount of work, but, when the dainty little articles arc finished and mounted on cardboard they are pretty and effective. As sold in the stores such things are eypen- sive, but why not cover box--and there are plenty around the average house--with burlap and leave it with out further elaboration?
