Crocheted Work

~ RANDMOTHER'S handmade rugs

woven sort, but the actual hand
made rag rugs. braided and sewn to re-
semble those the economical old lady
once crocheted with a long wooden nee
die. The New England housekeeper OF
today refers to the crochet needle as
hook. and talks of hooking a rug"
These most modern Of rugs for the
bungalow or the old-time room in the
new country home are made from wide
strands or strips of new sateen. Gre
tonne or chintz of either a plain or
Powered surface. braided into a three
plat by hand. This done. the long strip
OF braided goods. thick and about an
inch and a half wide. is started and
formed into circle. 1t is strongly sewn
together with a coarse linen thread from
the back. 1t should be kept upon large
table while in process of shaping. TO
insure its lying like fiat disk upon the
floor when finished. The lowered rugs
will prove more popular to the lovers Of
cretonne. but those of plain tones will
be more effective in most rooms already
having the usual quota Of figured sur
faces to distract the eye.

Fancy Pincushions

r. IT too early to plan and make a few
Christmas presents? l think not.
= for what a pleasant Flow of right
eousness accompanies the feeling TIA
one Is well prepared in advance for the
season. / think perhaps the reason SO
many people begin their presents about
the last day Of November is that they
cannot think OF anything until tho dy-
Ing Of time drives them to sort Of des-
rerate gathering Of forces and q last
quick decision.
To help those who find either so few
or so many Things to mako that they
cannot decide which to do. thought I
would suggest a few dainty pincIshions
that may be begun on the porch even on
the hottest days. They will none Of
them take very long. and they all Of
them will make lovely little gifts for
ones relatives and friends.
Almost every one want: pretty pin
cushion. and II you make several Of
these out Of pompadour ribbon and pack
them with pine needles or rose leaves In
stead OF sawdust. you will have some
very. acceptable gifts all ready for the
holiday season. ] should suggest that
you buy . yard OF pompadour ribbon

Basting Versus
Pressing

THOUGH the dress Of the inme-
~ date future Is to be made with
4 \ pleated skirt the woman who
dotes on washable frocks need not be
discouraged. Quite the contrary. for IL
the gown is of Bingham, linen or even
mohair. the pleats may be basted In
place before Monday comes round. and
thus fastened they go through the
process Of washing and ironing. Indeed.
the very particular woman will even put
her freshly laundered frock away still
basted, because the threads may be re-
moved at the last moment before wear
ing. In this way the frock may be kept
in perfect condition II the owner Of a
chain-stitch machine feels that this
basting OF the frock viii be too much
trouble she may catch the pleats In
place with rows OF machine stitching.
then, with a single little Jerk. each row
Of the stitching may be removed. and
the tiny holes that may be left will soon
disappear.
When best and semi-best gowns OF del
icate structure are made with pleated
skirts. it Is well to haste the pleats in
place after each wearing. This will save
much pressing. and will keep the gown
In good condition.

How to Apply
the Design
T HERE are two ways to apply
l this design to the material

! 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 weli-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 hard pencil or
the point of a steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find 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 levelIcut
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 slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. ad-
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable to crock.
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.

about six inches wide and an equal
amount of plain pink ribbon. Make one
side Of the cushion of plain and thu
other Of fancy silk, and let the joining
seam be hidden by a few bands Of either
narrowest gold braid or gold embroidery
strands. This is not expensive. aud a
cushion like this will need no further
characterization. If you prefer white
linen cushions. then get few four-inch
doilies and work eyelets in them about
half an inch from the outer edge. But
the cushion between two Of these and
lace the doilies together with baby ri&-
bon. 1t Is easy. and the doilies are not
at all expensive. I should buy only
round ones with scalloped edges. for
they lace up better than do the square
ones.
II these two kinds of oiEcushions do
not appeal to you, then why no. some Of
silk, and cover them with linen lace?
IKE frilly cushions are of the past. but
lovely plain ones may De made. II you

ions for gifts. never let them measure

In Pastel Colors

nLAIN materials are much easier OF
construction than are those OF
= striped. barred and lowered ma
terial. Perhaps 1t is this that has made
the delicate pastel-colored batiste . Ia
vorite with the home dressmakef.
The fact remains that many Of the
more expensive sheer linen models In
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur in the less expensive batiste.
A favored method OF finishing the ba-
tiste frock is the basting together of its
various parts and the holding Of them In
place by very close and even feather
stitching

Cool Mattress Cover
y ERHAPS one of the greatest helps

~ ERHAPS one Of the greatest helps
toward summer comfort Is the
i mattress cover made Of Japanese

thoughtful enought to weave 1t Of

expected of it by way OF economy. for

Frills of Footing

nLEATED frills OF white tulle foot
