This is then sewed to the material on

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.

guimpe and long vest effect are OF
tucked cream net embroidered with blue

The next is a blouse OF white crepe
de chine tucked in a deep vest banded
with Irish lace. The Irish lace forms
also the round yoke. A strap decora-
ton makes up the lower part of bodice

Should you wish in that case to do any
further decorating it is quite possible to
embroider the scallop which edges the
neck of the waist on either side of the
belt 1 think you will find no great diff
ficulty in placing the scallops along the
sides of the belt: and l am sure the fin
ished garment will please you.
I would suggest that the material used
be good heavy linen. and that it be en-
broidered in white or in faint shade of
blue, although you must bear in mind
that blue very seldom washes we'll. For
the work use mercerized cotton or linen.
II YOU attempt to use silk in such work

tucks under the arms.
The third blouse is a flannel outing
model in soft mauve for the mountain
traveller. 1t is made becoming by a
cream yoke of tucked tulle and some
feminine frills of tulle on the sleeves.
The blouse fastens at the left with vel
vet-covered buttons.
A deep square effect in tucked chiffon
forms the yoke of the next model, which
is made of crepe meteor OF coral

of the embroidered crepe and the under
sleeves are chiffon.
The next is a net blouse modelled on
empire lines. 1t shows a round feather
stitched yoke, with a plain underbodice
and a tucked overhanging bolero.
The last of the designs is most ef-
fective in rose liberty laid in soft folds
over the shoulders. and having a tucked
vest pareled with embroidered satin in
rose and silver. The same embroidery

and sleeves are of tucked rose chiffon.
One Vienna authority states that if the

soft ceinture of the same shade is worn.

For Those Who Press

VV1HEN you wish to press your
wv dark linen frock this summer
do not trust that a white iron
ing board will leave no mark. You may
easily cover the board for a moment
with some dark material-an old skirt or
bit of lining-and when the frock is
pressed this may be removed and kept
till the next lime.
You know the appearance of dark
gown with splotches of white lint upon
1t. 1t is to avoid just these that the
dark cover should be used. Also, It is
Just as necessary to moisten the dark
linen with a patch Of its own material,
