Imitation Embroidery

TT HIS is but another name for pen or
crewel painting in imitation Of
Il Queen Anne crewel work The
style is particularly effective for the
decoration Of lampshades, banners and
blouers. Proceed in this manner: Sketch
or stamp the design on the material and
delineate It with colors prepared on the
palette and used as they come from the
tubes, with care 10 add few drops OF
turpentine whenever plush or velvet Is
the foundation chosen.
Fill the hollow OF the pen with paint,
wipe of the back and proceed to define
the salient features Of the birds; for
instance. drawing the pen toward you
with fine. even strokes so as to cause
the nib TO spread and form the feather
stroke. which IS characteristic of the
method. Hold the pen with the hollow
side upward. placed firmly on the ma
terial and draw with light yet firm
touches. Should the pen turn over and
form blots. do not attempt 10 take it up.

IS convenient TO lay the colors on the
bills, and a strong, fine pen on the claws.
A still finer brush, held almost straight

A coarse pen or fine brush is useful
for the leaves and branches. When
working leaves with the pen, the strokes

The Fair Upholstered

H OES il sound funny to dress your
self IL furniture wrappings and
L. upholstery materials? Yet that is
what many of the smartest women are
doing nowadays. The tendency toward
the oriental-above all. toward the bi-
zsrre and barbaric-in fashion has led US
past the dress goods counters into the
furniture department.
Clara Morris tells a story OF how.
when she was young and very poor, she
had to have a red dress in a certain
part. Red was never worn in those
days except in the most expensive silks
and velyets: therefore she bought furni-
ture rep and made her gown from that.
Today that would be quite the proper
procedure; moreover. the lace curtains
that made a bah gown for her in an
other role are quite a common enough
medium al present.
In fact one girl of my acquaintance
has just bought herself a pair OF brown
velour curtains. bCr6ored in a subdued
Persian pattern. fr5m which she pur-
poses making an evening coat, which

edges with gold thread and watch the

try and metallic galloons are "best tips
IN millinery also, especially when COM
bined with dots or cross-sdtched squares
in handWork
The best net to use for placing under
chiffon and marquisette is the strong
and solid curtain net. Pretty blouses,
TOO, are made Of this net veiled over
Persian, and the Persian design may it
self be woven in furniture satine or in
cretonne. Even the coarse laces used
with these curtain nets are very ef-
fective as blouse trimming, and take
dyes extremely well.
And beads. Wei. let me tell you one
secret. The finest bead fringe you can
get in this day OF ringing and OF beads
IS The variety designed for edging glass
lampshades-and you buy it in the fur
uiture department.

That is the story. A shorter one is
that which suggests outlining the entire
letter form and filing IN the broad
bands with seed stitches. This, of
course, is very effective, and when care

but personally I prefer the solid letters.

"Bobs" and the Bow.

An interesting Incident is recorded
in connection with the visit which
Lord Roberts paid to Marylebone to
distribute the medals won by mem
bers of the local rife club, recently.
One of the gold medals was won by a

Folks who have been upbraiding
the packer, the farmer, the butch
er and host of other dealers for
the high cost of living have been
on the wrong track, according to
W. H. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau
of Chemistry of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In
all address before the Knife and
Fork club at Kansas City, Mo-,
he said: Every time a boy
leaves the farm it is an impetus TO
increase the cost of living. A
scarcity of farm labor makes
wages higher, and an added city
population also adds to it the cost
of food products. When the boys
go back to the farms prices will
