Beauty Of Embroidery Is Often
Destroyed By Inartistic Settings

drawing-room, that sampler was rarely
looked at by those who did not know
fancy work; and by those who did it's
beauty was marred by its %incongruous
setting.
/ An example of ornate finishing is in
the embroidered p~in-cushion, perhaps
of exquisite embroidery, that is scarce
Iy observed because of double ruffies
of lace and innumerable .knottings
colored ribbon.
Modern taste would perhaps ounte
nance such "a. finish for a plain centre
of muslin or silk, but where embroid-
cred designs have been worked the
cushion is usually made with narrow
seallop or hemstitched edge. and lace,
if used at all, is narrow and set be-
meath the scallop. The simpler a pin
cushion is these days, provided 1t is APP
propriately embroidered, the better
style it is.
On the other hand, suppose one works
an elaborate design on fine huckaback
or damash for a towel A finish map
propriate in it's ~trihingness would be
the narrow fringing of the goods so
popular a few years ago. What is
needed to give the towel character is
a deep, heavily padded and embroid-
cred scallop, or possibly a hemstitched
lem two inches or more deep, with or
without several lines of drawn work
above it.
One may fall back on the COMPARE
lively safe setting of a buttonholed
scallop for any piece of personal or
household embroidery, yet err by Sc
lecting the wrong kind OF a scallop for
a certain design.
This is particularly noticeable in fine
so-called French embroidery for lin
gerie.
Remember hat a heavy scallop
coarsens the appearance of embroidery
An edge can be quite as firm IL 1t is a
sixteenth of an inch wide as IL 1t were

Wearing qualities depend upon the
closeness and frmness Of the work, not
upon the depth.

Magnificent NeedIework Often
Marred by Obtrusive Trim
mings OF Tawdry Design.

Lave you never seen a picture
ruined by its framing? Certain
types of people are accused of buying
the picture for the frame. but even this
ais scarcely worse than buying it with
no thought of the frame.
Equally important are the settings of
our embroideries. Months of fine stitch
cry can be put to naught by the way
it is made up. The wrong kim of lace
on the edge, fancy trimmings when
there should be simplicity. hemstitched
edges that are too heavy to be in pro-
portion all detract from the beauty of
the design itself.
Comparatively few workers give this
subject of setting a thought. Yet 1t Is
well worth considering if one wants an
artistic whole.
When considering the finishing Of any
piece of embroidery ask yourself, Is 1t
consistent? Is 1t a, compliment to the
design or so obtrusiye al to over
shadow it? Is it too ornate or too
trifing? Above all, does it fulfil the
purpose of all good settings and main
tain a rich simplicity, which by its Sc
verify of line or harmoniousness of
coloring throws out the beauty of the
needlework?
For instance, If you have embroid-
cred a handsome altar cloth, rich in its
severity of detail, to make 1t up with
rows of cheap gold lace that would
tarnish in a fortnight is decidedly in
consistent. Equally so is an edging
oe Valenciennes or thin silk lace Oh
o~entrepiece or covers of heavy linen.
When you work bureau cover or
sampler, do you wish everyone who
sees it to notice the work itself, or the
extras which surround 1t? Be sure, If
the finishing is not a compliment to the
piece itself, as a narrow hemstitched
or s%calloped edge, or heavy lace fatty
adjusted on the cover, and a fiat, dark
wooden frame, or one of dull, narrow
gilt for the sampler, the beauty OF
your %handiwork runs risk of going I'M
