This will leave the third side, which

remaining side. the embroidery done
over the stitches, and the gift will be

Priscilla Bag---Silk

The girl who has time for a little
fancy work at home, either making
things for herself or preparing for
Christmas. should start work on the
butterfly handkerchiefs.
They have been sold in the shops for
some time. imported from Paris and
costing quite a bit of money.
A girl can make them at home if she
Is clever with her needle. If she has
been doing any of the butterfly ap-
plique in underwear which a been
the fashion this season she will be ex-
pert enough to start on this other
work.
The foundation is a sheer fine hand
kerchief with a tiny hemstitched edge.
Either one or several butterflies are
cut from sheer colored silk null and
applied to the linen.
They can be all of one color or in
different colors and embroidered at
the edges and up the center to give
the coloring Of a real butterfly.
Some girls may prefer just n but
terfy with widespread wings in a faint
color, such as lavender, pink. yellow
or blue.
If she makes q set for a Christmas
gift it will be pretty to put a different
colored one on each handkerchief.

muslin in a deep cream shade. and the
lower end was turned up about four
inches. An inch wide hem It the top
of the pocket and another at the top
of the apron were run with leaf green
ribbons and tied at the ends in soft
rosettes. The pocket that extended
across the apron and the tiny "hand'
pockets above were decorated with
brilliant cretonne roses. and a leaf or
two were applied to the material by
buttonholing in green embroidery silk.

GLORIFIED HATBOX.

choose n of large size) glorifed into
quite an ornamental affair.
The hatboX is first neatly lined inside
with plain sateen or washing silk and
her is covered all over the outside
with dainty patterned chintz or Gre
tonne. The sewing is all done at the
edges with good, firm stitches, and
then each edge is neatly bound with
ribbon. galloon or braid to the
sewing.
This hatbox should be completed by
a large, neatly hemmed square of the
lining to cover the hat when placed in
the box. An embroidered monogram
in the corner of this square would
form a dainty finish to the box.

An attractive little workbasket is
made in this way: Use for the bottom
a soft. pliable woven basket or which
a design of daisies and leaves can be
worked with ratfia in the shades to
suit. After this is finished the basket
should be lined with green rajah silk,
which m about eight inches be-
yond the edge of the basket. A casing
is made at the top of this and the bag
drawn together with green ribbon.
A basket of this sort will be found
very convenient for holding a bal, of
yarn, letting the end come out at the
top.

was one of the trustees of the Orleans
Liberal Institute for so years, and
served as one of the school board for
four years. Mr.. Dwinell was a direc-
tor of the Barton National bank for 20
years and served as it's president the
last two years, n of it's most faith
full servants, always at his post when
it demanded his services, until falling
health sometimes prevented. He was
also one of the incorporators of the
Barton Savings bank.
He was passionately fond of music
and some of his happiest moments were
spent in listening to and many times
assisting with his voice in its exc
cution. He was a member Of the
choir for 60 years, having commenced
as an alto singer when only II years
old under his fathers instruction, who
was at that time a famous singer and
leader. He was chorister of the Con-
~gregatlonal choir for nearly 80 years.
He was democratic in politics and
a Universalist in religious preference,
though he always advocated that a
spirit of brotherly love should unite
all sects. One of his last requests
was that the ministers of every de-
nomination should be invited to assist
in his funeral services.
October 9, 1856, he was united in mar
rage with Eliza M. Bean, daughter
of the late Amos Phelps and Phila
(SartwelD Bean. Eight children were
born to them, only four of whom

might improve town or village: his
hospitality in entertaining; and his
spirit of unity and goodwill toward
all.
