Odd Flowers in Embroidery

TN HE woman who, centerpiece after
centerpiece and summer after
II summer, works violet and rose
and daisy designs in colored silk in
satin stitch has no idea of the possi-
bilities Of embroidery. 1 shall not speak
here OF the variety that may be gained
IN background material and embroidery
stitch, but simply of the use of flowers
not so hackneyed and worked to death
as those mentioned. Poppies, thistles
and forget-me-nots are not so utterly
commonplace, but they, too, should be
laid on the shelf for while for staple
and conventional pieces.
1t is strange that few women, even
those who ca re for and love their gar
dens. seem to think of applying the
hundreds of blossoms they see about
them to their colored embroidery. Why
doesn't some one substitute the purple
passion-hower for the iris, the white
moon-vine blossom for the chrysanthe
mum, the sweet alyssum for the clover?
PhloX. petunias. four-o clocks, ice
plant, geranium, hydrangeas. feverfew-
here is q list OF flowers easily embroid-
cred, taken from one small garden; and
apple, the wild geranium (Which is not
st all like its domesticated cousin),
Queen Anne's lace. butter-and- eggs,
potentilla and many other simple
flowers, beautiful and easily copyable.
II they only lead to a love for and
knowledge Of botany on the part of the
assiduous embroiderer. who is apt to
lead too sedentary a life, they have
served their purpose.
But they have a further value: They
introduce into embroidered work an in
dividuality which raises it above its
present level to a standard It has not
attained since the time of the medieval
tapestries. They allow the needleworker
70 exercise her own ingenuity and her
own artistic taste, and 10 express her
preference as the stifiy worked carna-
tions and wild roses of today cannot do.
That these flowers are as easily
worked as the more commonly seen va
rieties-and in some cases more so-is
shown by the directions given herewith
for embroidering some of the more un-
usual blossoms.
Red and pink cactus: This splendid
display flower is workeds with half the
blossoms "a conventional wreath is the
best arrangement. as the flowers are a
bit stifD in dark red and half in pale
pink. The edges OF the petals are
worked in long-and-short stitch, and if
the shaded effect is desired. the tips
OF the petals are lighter than the base,
the nearer petals lighter than the
further. The midrib in each petal is
worked in stem stitch. and the stamens
in the center are outlined in yellow.
The stiff cactus leaves" really the
stems. are worked in dark and light
green. The pistil. in the midst of the
stamens. has the yellow style (the lower

Corded Sofa Pillows

summer porches are not embroid-
cred in silk. cotton or raffia out

corded around the colored pattern.
Thus tan linen pillow will be STAMPED
IN conventional design in red and

conventional design is much more sue
cessful than the flower pattern.

elons Tor the girl who can stencil her
own materials-was of grass-green

The ClotheSbrush

FTEN on miladrs dressing table
the clothesbrush. with its plain
~ wooden handle (for the silver
backed brushes always have bristles
entirely too soft). is the only unattract-
i've object. One way of bringing it into
harmony with its surroundings is to
cover the back with brocade or brochs
silk.
First sandpaper the wood, so that IL
will take mucilage better, and then
paste the silk. which has been cut out TO
the exact shade and size. on to the
brush back, applying the glue only at
the edges, so as to insure snoOthness.
This rough edge should be fastened
and finished of by a border OF gimp or
OF metal galloOn.
Flowered silk, or a color TO match the
other toilet belongings, is best. The
brush thus treated makes an attractive
gift and one that will be appreciated
by the dainty woman.
Cretonne, by the way. or even small
figured chintz, may take the place OF
the silk if the former is used elsewhere
in the bedroom furnishings and acces-
SOrieS.

Pockets are essential. Large, fat
pockets, with a buttoned flap, may be
sewed at each side of the apron, and
will hold all the Thousand odds and
ends that one needs in houseclean-
ing, large or small Sometimes these
pockets are separate and buttoned on
only when occasion requires.
Some of the aprons are almost like
dresses, except that they are open all
the way down the back, buttoning in
a straight line. 1t is really more con-
yenient. however, to have them but
toned front or at the Sides as they are
easier to take off and put on quickly.

usually seen rumples the hair: the
Dutch cap, fitting over the nape of the
neck, is better. The caps the doctors
use in operating and in the hospitals
for contagious diseases can be pur-
chased at any medical supply store, and
they are ideal for busting and sweeping.
Rubber gloves are another necessary,
and extra sleeves, such as the children
wear in school, for hard work with

the housewife need not fear dirt, and
may know that she is becomingly as

bands. White leads in favor, though the
lighter pastel shades in fabric have
bead eanbroideries to match them as
closely as possible.
These are glass beads; it is almost
the only place where the wooden beads
have not driven them out. Iridescenr
and metal beads are also occasionally
seen, especially in gowns with touch
of the prevalent oriental embroidery
Sometimes an entire frock Of null or
batiste Is embroidered with single beads,
giving the effect of dotted material.
The result is very pretty and quite un-
usual

The large flowers with no turned edges
may be worked with long and short
stitches at the outer line Of each petal,
the knots giving sufficient work for the
center.
When you make the buds, follow the
same idea, working the small holder In
solid stitch and outlining the round bud.
The San Francisco call., 1910-08-07

French knots for the sprays of fine
grass and stem stitch for the delicate
connecting lines are quick and effective
finishing touches for the design. The
narrow leaves are best in solid stitch.

that the turned-up petals of the flowers

the base Of each form. The other petals
you will outline, and the seeds in the
center you will work in French knots.

Novel Hat Ornament

NNE Of the new midsummer hats seen
recently had as trimming a large
~ butterfly bow Of cretonne, with a
heavy straw edging and an inner bor-
der of glass jewels in the predominating
color of the cretonne. The hat itself
was a rough straw in natural tint and
in the same weave as the edging of the
bow. The only other adornment was a
dnaped and folded cretonne scarf and q
wide band OF cretonne on the under side.
The unusual effect was striking, to say
the least. and the hat was as smart as
one could desire.

Two Ideas


DHE first was millinery hint. The
hat, in poke-bonnet shape, fitting
- closely to the blond head of the
wearer, was of folded black satin, with
no trimming but buckle and tassel OF
black wooden beads at the left side.
But all around the inner edge there
was narrow frill. about an inch wide,
of white pleated lawn with a tiny en-
broidery edging. The touch of white
gave GOODNESS and distinction to the
whole hat.
The other idea was a welcome change
from the eternal black waist with
white ruching. 1t was worn by
woman evidently in half mourning, and
consisted of a white tucked batiste
waist, cut with a round Dutch neck.
and with folded collar edging OF half
inch wide black lawn. Here again was
an excellent finishing touch produced
simply by reversal of the commons
place and ordinary.

Ribbons for Trimmings

A DVANCE styles show a great use
N of figured and flowered ribbons.
a - The woman with a dress or hat
10 trim at home would better take this
into consideration.
AS to dresses, black velvet ribbons are
being used as bandings on foulard,
pongee. wolfe, marquisette and challis
gowns. The lighter Dresden and pastel
colored ribbons are being used in the
same way on evening dresses.
Ribbon sashes and girdles are fashion
able for lingerie frocks. The most mod
fish effect is the knee sash, which is tied
loosely around the bottom Of the tunic,
either above or below the transparent
yelling. When it is below the tuntc. 1t

tened by long looped bow or rosette.
With Persian effects, a plain ribbon
bringing out the dominant color Of the
fabric is used ais a garniture. These
ribbons are wide and are loosely
stitched. Quilting is much seen.
Ribbon beltings are also
popular, especially in Per-
sian and Dresden patterns.
Moire and corded effects
are also most prevalent.
For millinery ribbon is
being used for large bows
and rosettes. Often a fig
ured ribbon is combined
with and softened by one
of plain color in the domi- 7
nant shade of the other.
Ribbon is being used
also for table garnitures,
in flower shapes and in

jesse D. Jewkes. state auditor. began
the Issuance of warrants on bounties
of the series of 1907 and 1908 for which
the last legislature appropriated sl2.-
600. These bounties were held I'D OH
account OF the frauds that were perpe-

A total appropriation of s51 900 has been
made by the legislature since 1905 to

holding the receipts for the filing OF
these certificates should immediately
forward them to him, together with an
order properly drawn authorizing the
delivery of the warrants to some de-

been made, it is particularly necessary
that tho receipt should accompany the
