The lack of freedom in going about

give them a pleasing occupation, with

ambitions, which expands the mind of a

The matter of dress has a far greater
influence on the development and health
of a school girl than is realized. In
the first place it has to be so much more
varied than a boys. 1t is obtained with

rosettes, worked on threads that radiate
from the center of each of the large,
open blossoms.

the sewing of the braid to the pattern

stitches to be made by the needlewoman,

there are no new stitches, though novel

deceive one.
The stitches are all of the greatest
simplicity-most of them produced
through the simple buttonhole stitch
One advantage of the braid laces is the
fact that interruption of the work need
have no serious effect either upon the

if the necessity arises, they will be able

times no one can tell when such state
of affairs may come.
The question of over-study for girls
should be gone into very carefully. If
a girl cannot learn most of her lessons
at school, then some of them should be
dropped An hours study, or at most
two, are all that should be taken after
school, If the child is harassed and
distressed because she cannot accom-
plish her school tasks, the matter should
be gone into and the cause of her dis
tress and worry asccrtained.
Avoid Discouragements
A child, boy or girl. should not be
discouraged and cast down because of
inability to accomplish the school tasks
which have been set Parents should
learn whether the child does as much
with the studies as other children. 1t
is possible that the child is not capable
of learning as much or as easily as other
children. Too often this state of the
child's mind is not considered as it
should be.
Parents dislike to feel that their chill
dren are not as bright to learn as
easily as the best, not to mention the
average child. A child who is dragged
down by tasks too heavy for her be-
comes nervous, the morals suffer and
she gets careless, Indifferent and hope
less.
Outside Distractions

distractions outside of school multiply

effective fower-like outline to the linen
center Point de Vosges is used almost
entirely through the piece, though the
large irregular spaces are filled in with
rosettes worked over the crossing of
threads that start from various points.
Point de Vosges is first worked in
fagoting or herringbone stitch from edge
to edge of the braid across the space to
be filed. The thread is then carried
back like a darning stitch, weaving I'M
der and over the center of the fagoting
stitches. The thread is woven back
again in the same manner, passing over
the stitches that were under in the pre-
ceding row and under those it passed
over before.
A square centerpiece is made of
guipure braid with picot edge, but
slightly different from the braid used in
the round piece. The center Of this, too,
is linen, to which the braid design forms
an irregular edge. The stitch just de-
scribed, point des Vosges, is used to fill
in all the regular spaces, and twisted
bars on which rosettes are worked form
background stitch.
