Embroidery In Almost Any SHADE That
Can Be Desired.

Some OF the most beautiful sm-
eroidery is done now IN raphia, which
may be had in almost all shades or
dyed to suit the needs OF any artistic
worker. 1t looks extremely dificult,
too, when used to decorate curtains or
other household furnishings. A cur
tain of burlap. for instance, in green
may be made artistic and beautiful by
an embroidered border of red and
brown raphia. The beauty Of the
raphia is that the work is quite easy
and the results are remarkably good,
while at the same time the materials
for working cost practically nothing.
One may buy bunch OF raphia-
what would correspond to a large
skein Of wool yarn-for ten cents. The
raphia may be used on many materi-
ais; denim, for instance, fine netting
or coarse cotton material. The
peedle used should be a darning
needle. and II the raphia Is too thick
1t may be split to the required size.

Just another adaptation of buttonhole

rather short and are not placed so
close together as to present a solid
appearance. Almost any pattern de-
signed for outline may be worked in
this variety Of stitch. All curves are

This stitch variation will be a valu.
able addition to the semi-embroidery
