Your Vacation.

Where are you going to spend it
this summer? We ask where because
every person who can do so ought to

no more delightful place to visit,

of a modern seaside resort, than

in the ruts and make every day very

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an intiamed condition of the mucus lining
of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inaamed you have u rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. deafness is the result. and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is SO because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results IN
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the cl,,'
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.

How to Make Cushions

leather cushion cover is satisfactory
library type. and two perfect circles
laced together by thongs Of leather
make an admirable touch of color if
chosen with care. No ornamentatiOn is
necessary
Cut work in leather implies full
sized satin lining, because a mere bit OF
satin pasted beneath the cut space in
the leather would speedily pull away
with any ordinary wear. Brown leather
of a rich, warm tone demands an
orange -colored lining, and the combina-
ton will add a touch of desirable color
to any room.
The exquisite French cushion of the
season is copied from that Louis period
which has furnished so many perfect
modern rooms in imitation of those
in French palaces. 1t is a delicate
cream tinted grosgrain silk, done in
ribbon embroidery. Faded rose and
green have been used 70 carry out the

gray handkerchief linen relied for Its
finish-where upper and lower section
joined-upon a line of chain stitching
done in gray linen floss. 1t is well that
the embroiderer's art has kept alive this
old-fashioned stitch.
Feather stitching, too, is no longer
relegated TO white undermuslns, but
is used on the best and most expensive
of rose-colored upper linens-dresses. On
one of these an applied fold ten inches
deep was basted on the lower part of
the skirt, pressed and feather-stitched
into place.
Corded shirrings are beautiful and
give the most perfect sort of finish to
the tulle yoke. They are particularly
reliable for the sub-yoke which is diff
ficult to fit, and may be drawn into
position when the shirrings have been
made over cords. This is always hand
work. though the impatient have tried
to machine it,"

Embroidered Dresses

EMBROIDERY is the strong note OF
the season. on the spring and sum-
A-@ mer frocks. Braiding holds it's
own and is distinctly suited to the quite
heavy weights in cotton and linen stutrs;
but the different fancy stitches are so
largely used on all sorts of gowns for
the grown-ups and the little people that
they are worthy of particular mention
to the artist in embroidery silk.
A new trimming shown on ShantunS
pongee is twisted cotton cord. wound
round into design and couched fast at
regular intervals of an eighth of an inch
with embroidery cotton. Both cord and
cotton are the natural color of the pom
gee.
Very coarse twisted and untwisted silk
floss is the choice medium in which
most of the satin-stitch embroidery IS
carried out upon such dresses as the col
ored pougees and. seasonabe silks. It
looks particularly well on the wide
walled silk serges now SO popular.
Coarse untwisted linen floss is an ex-
elusive material which may be found IN
colors matching TO a nicely many OF the
new costume linens. This floss lends II
self to most successful treatment or
long Japanese stitches. and when the
one-piece linen frock is embroidered, the
most successful color scheme is the per-
feet match
upon very dull light shades, such as
ecru, champagne and delicate gray.

Here is opportunity for various

Rarely are they machine stitched; that
is the trademark of the American
tailor. They are blind-stitched along
their hens; Innings are shp-stitched to

a difficulty when once it is realized
- that the upper cover is about a
sixteenth of an inch larger than the
first covering.
This is a matter cf the fit and of wear.
1t is bit of general. oldtime informa-
ton about plncushions and cases in
general that some of the moderns do
not know. Indeed, they travel so fast
and their fancy-work fashions go so
much faster than they do, that it is
hardly to be expected that they can
either keep pace or remember old rules.
But back to the cushions. Sofa pill
lows are now considered a more har-
monious whole when they match
throughout. The ''pillow-top' is not
so much in evidence as it was, and the
"cushion-cover'' is about to take its
place. Embroiderers are taking thought
for the truly artistic and demanding
enough material for the top and bottom.
Makers are alive to the demand. and
stamped pieces for tops are now pro-
vided with a like piece or fold Of
the same material to cover the bottom.
The cushion finish remains somewhat
like those We have known. except
that gold gallOon has been added 70

make reliable edges. and the ruffie has
not entirely departed.

schemes is the stencil pattern upon Rus

Raffia embroidery has its own special
designs stamped on coarse open linen.
The eolored strands are threaded in raj
fla needles and worked up and down in
a long satin stitch to cover conventional
designs They usually are patterns
suited to the mission room or the den.

The Irish Lace Rose

Ty HE making of Irish lace by the
American women has been con-
- tinued until the work has reached
a degree of perfection little below its
native standard
Some Of the motifs are less difficult
than others. and the rose has proved
favorite with beginners
A novel use for this little crocheted
blossom is its Incorporation in the all
over embroidered surface of the linen
frock
A pretty foreign model supplies the
idea for the deft-fngered amateurs in
lace and dressmaking on this side of the
water.
Over the surface of a linen gown of
a rarely beautiful rose shade there
was spread continuous vine pattern,
its tendrils and leaves rather sparsely
covering the whole of the bodice and
the upper half of the skirt Through
out the embroidery there were left
round openings. an inch and a quarter
in diameter, which were buttonholed
round their edges before they were cut
out.
Into each of these open spaces was ap-
pliqued an Irish rose of the requisite
size. 1t edges were tackled to the but
tonhole stitch surrounding the opening
The roses were dyed to match the
linen.
Round or square medallions of cluny
lace would prove most effective il set
within a finished opening.

Solid Stitch on Lace

frocks there now enters some
- color to carry further the bright
ncre supplied by eOrsage bouquet
of satin roses or a ribbon girdle

broidered a patch of solid work. which

THERE are two ways to apply
L 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 ike-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with well-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 a hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
