How to Apply
the Design
HERE are two ways to apply

HERE are two ways to apply
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 like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with a well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper, you will find a neat and
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
tnat they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. I ad.
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable to crock.
Do not rest your hands 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.

AM Giving you this week a design In
clover leaf for q blouse fastened up
the back. and I'm going to suggest
that the leaves be worked in hat
Japanese effect; that is. satin stitch
without any padding. This is distinctly
suitable for China or Shanghai silk In
black or white and for pongee. ANY ono
of these materials should be emoroioer-
ed with silk of the same shade.
The design may also be carried out In
heavy or handkerchief linen with white
mercerized cotton. If the solid stitcn
does not altogether appeal, an elongated
eyelet opening may be left in each petal
and the little circles treated as eyelets.
No allowance has been made for tho
hem down the center back. and 1t Is e1-
pected that you allow one and a hair
inches Of material on each back portion
The blouse, If made of silk. should be ar
ranged with a fly piece for the button
holes; and please cut them crossways.
II they are cut up and down the blouse
will fly opeI. every time you shrug your
shoulders Spanish fashion. A quite mar
row leg O. mutton sleeve is one OF tho
accepted models for olouses-to-be.
Lest we forget" I am going to press
upon the makers of blouses the necessity
for treating the collar with discretion in
the final makeup. Having finished the
collars lower edge, do not fail to lay It
over the neck opening of the blouse In
stead of scanning blouse and collar to-
Rether. When this 'laying-on" method
IL employed on the person or figure,
the blouse can be pushed into place un-
til the At is accomplished. And once
again a caution-the stitching Of the un-
der arm seam will Aot snap with the

FAMOUS PORTRAIT SAVED.
Money Raised to Prevent Sale Of
Christiana.

London, June 3.-Acconding to an
evening newspaper the money neces-
sary to secure Holbelns portrait OF
Christiana, duchess of Milan, for the
nation has been provided by a
wealthy west country art lover. Apart
from the governments contribution
'of $4,000. the public subscriptions
have amounted to only $4,000.
Consequently the philanthropist
who has come 70 the rescue had to
provide $4,000 TO make mp the
price. $3.50 600.
The famous Holbein portrait of
Christiana of Denmark had been
loaned by the duke OF Norfolk to the
National Gallery for 2S years. II was
recently sold by the duke for $685.
900 10 an art dealer, but with the
understanding that the nation might
purchase II within a month for
$3.50 900.
The National Gallery has no re-
sources and an appeal was made to
the public to prevent the picture leav-
ing the country
1t is supposed to have been bought
\ by the art dealer for an American
client.
