Hadley. In his inaugural address the
new governor recited the fact that the

II is a good thing for the legislators
that they have not the same budget to
meet that the municipal government

Naturally municipal government is

Embroidery Design
Is EHecffVe for Borders

A type or embroidery that is espe-
clally adapted 10 conventional designs
is the Syrian work, that gives an effect
Of overlapping scales. The designs
which are stamped for this embroidery
are divided into sections 10y lines run
ming at regular intervals across the
scrolls and other figures.
The method Of working is both simple
and rapid. The sections are filled in
with a filling cotton and then worked
In satin stitch following the growth Of
scroll. Three sides of section are then
outlined so that the design when I'm
ished looks as # one scale sprung out
OF tie other.
This Is particularly effective for bor-
ders on table covers or sofa pillows or
the c-entrepieces made Of hOmespun linen
used on tables between meals.
As the embroidery Is done in turkish
floss or uther heavy, glossy silk suitable
for la-gC designs, il works up quickly.

Is room for infinite variety OF shadings.

~BUTTONHOLES
IN STRAIGHT LINES

When making buttonholes in the
back Of a lace dress or yoke II is hard
10 get them strong enough. Even
when they do not fray they pull and
stretch in an ugly way.
The next time you have them to
make try sewing fine net or chiffon
as wide as the facing inside the hem
where buttOnholes are to be worked.
This makes three thicknesses to be
worked through, and If carefully in
serted the inner lining viii not show.
Another way is 70 cut a double strip
of fine lawn the size of lace, hem and
haste firmly In place. Cut the button
holes through il, work closely. and
later cut away close 20 the work.

Hunters This Week
Chase About Pantry

Realizing that the huntsman Of the
past few weeks needed rest and recrea-
tion to recuperste from their wild chase,
Mrs Lewton has offered a particularly
Dslatable dinner for all who care to
tarry a while and turn their attention
from The highways ana byways Of Brer
Bear and his more f~erocious fellows to
the sweetlv domestic domain Of the but
ler's pantry. I am sure the toothsome
dishes which you may have for the
seeking viii make you hungry enough
70 work with a right good will in fixing
up the menu and putting IT in proper
order for your consumption. In "an of
fiber" YOU will find all the old-time
substantials n many of the oId-time
dsinties.
Nothing Is omitted, save possibly a
few things such as cheese and cafe
noire. but then WITH your appetites
whetted 10 the proper degree you will
never notice such omissions once you
get down among the delicious comesti-
bles which Mrs. Lewton has prepared
for YOU.
There IS really not much 10 say con-
corning the puzzle. save that you will
be wise in steering clear Of all foreign
cooking. Mrs. Lewton evidently has no
fancy for the menu cards offered one
at some Of the swaEger restaurants, for,
with laudable intent, she has turned he.

and fruits-indeed pretty nearly every
thing known TO the domestic market.
moreover you may have II served in
almost any way 10 suit your special
taste, therefore I ask YOU 10 be crate
fully content and refrain from choosing
things Mrs. Lewton has not included
on her list 7 understand there Is some
opportunity for the display Of such
impoliteness, but I'm so far as possible
the menu has been fixed up so that
the everyday things Of the average
table have precedence.
With this explanation I urge YOU 10
draw up to the bOunteous board and
enjoy the feast spread before you.
For the benefit of the newest mem
oers OF the puzzle contingent I append
the conditions OF the contests:
Prizes Of $500. $500, and 500 are
awarded each week. Tne first nrize
goes TO the person who sends in the

make the chance even for all who sub
