Christianity against paganism. the festi-

the month of February in honor of Pan
and Juno. The latter deity was named
Fribulla, derived from the word fibrum.

Things Worth Knowing for My Lady
Of the Needle-Avoid tho
Knot.

The geimpe of plain sheer tulle or
net is more frequently used than that
of tucks. The yoke is extremely shall
low, and the clear flesh tint is the
usual color.
A dainty little workbag, just fitted
to hold the embroidered collars and
belts and other paraphernalia of the
summer piazza, is of figured lawn, over
a lining of light blue china silk. China
silk makes n good lining. by the way.
for bags which are to hold embroid-
cry silks and other things which
might be likely to catch upon rougher
fabrics. On each side of the bag Is
a semicircle of lace insertion, border
ed with shirring of blue baby ribbon.
The embroidery hoop handles are COW
cred with blue ribbon.
The use of a knot is to be avoided
in sewing and not to be tolerated in
embroidery. The accomplished needle
woman rarely finds it necessary to
start with knot, save in gathering or
basting. Sometimes tiny one is
slipped under a hem, but it will show
on right side if material is sheer and
makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two
or three over and over stitches taken
on wrong side of material is as secure
as knot and much more slightly. In
embroidery there is no excuse for
knot. Two or three tiny stitches ta-
ken on outline or in body of work
where It is afterward covered win
hold any stitches. Knots only tend
to an untidy wrong side, which no
good embroiderer will tolerate and
make the work rough in laundering.

Summer Frills and Flxlngs.

Dutch necks and collarless dresses
are spelling the demand for ear-height
collars and some of the departments
tell you frankly If you ask for extreme
ly high ones that they do not have
them. There is a sort of craze among
the girls who like to be odd and

colored embroidery to match their
suits and with them, of course, go em-
broidered jabots or bows to match.

MATERIAL FOR A NOVELIST
Peculiar Circumstance of a Lord With
out Barony and Castle Owner
Without a Shilling.

Whether it is preferable to be a
lord without a barony or castle
owner without a shilling? A man
and a woman in Great Britain are
in that position at the present time.
The man is a descendant of a lord
who was rather dilatory in legitima-
tizing his offspring, but an appeal
to the courts has made the effect of
a late marriage retrospective, and
hence the descendant is declared to
be the rightful heir to tarony
which is held by another man. All
that the claimant desired, however,
was to have his Legitimacy estab-
lished; he was willing to forego the
barony. On the other hand the wom-
an in question, the widow of an Off
Ger, is in the curious plight of hav-
ing a castle on her hands without
any money to pay her servants
wages or to buy them food. For
debts not of her own contracting
even her carriages and horses have
been seized, the former being now
used by farmers in which to drive
to market and the latter employed
by the village beer seller to carry
,ound his porter Here are materi-
Ills ready to the hand of the roman
lie novelist, for the heir to the bar
ony would be an ideal mate for the
widow. She could provide the castle,
leaving him the minor detail of fur
nishing the title and the money.
This would be welcome innovation
on tie too common proceeding of the
woman furnishing the ready cash
and the man only an empty title and
castle equally without value.
