Z summer resorts where there is
~ water, one of the most popular
meeting places of the young people
is the yacht club. which is a center
of fun and activity for old and young,
many elders being keen over Rcht-
Ing, while others enjoy the mere sit
ting about the clubhouse as particle
pants in Its sociability
Though forming a large part of the
aggregation, young people are always
conspicuous in a clubhouse, and 1t be-
hooves them to remember that they are
in public place where quiet manners
are more becoming than are always
necessary in the privacy of ones own
home. Rough house. and rowdyism
generally are extremely bad form at
all times, but particularly so in public
places, though there are young people
so thoughtless as to act as If a club
house was made for their sole beneft
and TO conduct themselves there with a
boisterousness which shows no consid-
Grafton for those about them.

club unchaperoned, and while there

1T isn't necessary to stick TO the

that deep thought must be put on the
finish Of the article to make IL artistic.

LIN learning the crash embroidery I
advise girls to begin with the
pincushions first. They are done
in line design and constitute the first
step in the process. From rug. wall
paper or other source pick out a novel
conventionalized motif and draw it on
the crash. repeating it in allover de-
sign or simply in a motif. Do this in
what is known as outline stitch. This
