Miss Zoe Boyle Explains Workings OF

New York.-What's in a name?

Zoe j. Boyle of this city, who calls
herself "a name a~nalysist." She main
tains that when one writes ones self

actually makes ones self a wholly

"Edythe" one may be more unlucky
than when it's spelled with an 81"
1T isn't fortune-telling," said Miss
Boyle. 1T is the working of a natural,

tian, middle and surname-stands for
something. Then each letter is equiva'

HERE'S A NEW A
MAKING OF HANDkERcHiEFs Is
FASCINATING WORK.
Girl Who Is Adept With Her Needle
May Easily Provide Herself With
. Supply Of Handsome
Ones.

Handkerchief making Is fascinating
work. and any girl who sews neatly
may easily provide herself with q sup
ply which will be a matter of pride
to herself and Of envy to her less in
dustrious associates.
French or Irish linen of the finest
quality should be used for any hand
kerchiefs destined to carry elaborate
embroideries, and the greatest care
should be exercised In the cutting OF
the squares. To draw a thread In the
four directions is the only safe way,
as otherwise the delicate material is
apt to twist and become unmanage-
able.
When Armenian or any other very
fine lace edging is used the handker-
chief need not be hemstitched, al
though infinite care must be devoted
to the hand hemming, as irregularly
set stitches spoil the entire effect ct
the work.
Exceedingly narrow hemstitched
borders are more than ever popular,
and nearly always handkerchiefs so
treated have corners embroidered deli
cately with wreaths, clusters or semi
detached butterfly and flower designs.
Sometimes only M corner is decorat-
ed with a rather large and elaborate
spray pattern, or a medallion will in
close a small initial. Only when there
Is no other decoration should a mono
gram be emplOyed.
Fancy lace stitches are blended with
the embroidery patterns, as in the case
OF the lily pads, which show petals Of
fine netting, and the butterflies, with
transparent wings. Sometimes a girl
who embroiders ~indifferently but sews
with extraordinary neatness appliques
lace motifs upon the corner of a hand
kerchief and then cuts away the ma
terial from the under side, but this is
difficult to accomplish, and a slip Of
the scissors means ruin to the entire
piece of work.
Scallop borders are exceedingly
dainty, but that sort of work takes
an immense amount of time and is so
heavy in proportion to the fabric that
it is easily torn. The better way Is to

and equipment which he shipped from

by French labor, conducted by French
skill and paid for by French cash from
the strong box of the banker and the
humble wooden sock of the French
peasant.

building the Suez canal, he was urged
to greater efforts to build a canal
acros the Isthmus of Panama to con-
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans;
