GERMAN WORKERS PROSPECT.


BERLIN. July s.-The national wealth
o. Germany shows striking signs OF
becoming more and more difused. Tho

the aggregate taxable incomes Of less
than $3.50 annually have risen from
I75. OoO. 600 in IsaS 70 81 .sOo .Ooo. 900 In
1902 an increase % nearly 80 per cent in

prosperity among the less well to do
classes is Afforded by the savings banks

period. This enormous increase is attrib-

Shot Embroidery

DRETTY jabots and rufiies in white
net. displaying a stamped pattern,
II are noticea bic for their peculiar
blending OF white. gray and black
tints. In one example, the delicate and
elaborate design, reproduced in fine
linen stitch intersected with eyelets. is
entirely outlined with black lace thread
scarcely visible at the back, while IN
another specimen, with silvery touch,
wheat ears are defined with a series OF
long. raised. stitches in gray silk, while
lines Of darning stitches accentuate the
kidney-like connecting scrolls.
A discreet black speckling predomi-
mates in the entire effect, being pro-
duced by a loose stem stitch in fine
black thread cunningly interblended at
the back with the running gray stitches.
The same dark thread is used for the
tufts Of long stitches wrought as a
padding on the wrong side Of the gray
wheat ears. In this way the embroidery
IS almost reversible; it no longer lightly
emphasizes the pattern, but covers it in
front with glossy gray silk, through
which peep out from behind touch Of
the black embroidery. the characteristic
or the back.
Industrious and ingenious workers are
likely TO turn to account these service
able suggestions for producing the de-
sired shot appearance.

Bib-Efect Extension

n K OST of the new gowns show the
Vt bib effect in the bodice: many OF
AsA them show also the peplum, which
has in some cases crept around front
to become stomacher. Now with the
advance fall styles comes the combina-
ton of these two in a diamond-shaped
plaque extending from the bust and
continuing down the front of the skirt.
until it narrows off in a point at or
about the knees. This combined bib and
stomacher. as 1t may be called. is
usually elaborately braided with SOU
tache. or embroidered in peasant effect.
Sometimes. especially in evening gowns,
shoulder straps and tunic edge are simi-
larly braided or embroidered so as to
give a unified effect to the whole cos
tune
There is, of course, no reason why this
trimming should be diamond shaped. al
though it usually takes that FORM 1t
may approach in shape the continued
front panel effect. as seen In Russian
blouse suits. 1t is very pretty, however,
and suggests a. plan for the homo
needleworker who has a last years
evening dress to make over, where. per-
haps. spots or faded places in the deli
cate fabric must be concealed.

FASTING Feathers

Ty HOSE of US who have hats trimmed
with the bird wings consisting
Il of innumerable little feathers
something like fishes scales know how
these drop off and what an unpleasantly
bald appearance they give to our best
hat trimmings. One woman has solved
the problem by pasting them on as they
come off. They were black in her case,
and. so that the paste she used should
not show, she pasted them on the back
with library paste on which she dropped
black ink and let 1t soak in. This same
plan can be followed with any color
ink TO match the feather, even the iri-
descent feathers Gas these often are)
being usually easy to match.
Another plan is to use court-plaster.
although this is possible only with black
and white feathers. The plaster must
be cut in little strips and fastened In
back to the cloth foundation, for feath-
ers Of this sort are always what is
called made that is, stitched on to a
backing Of fabric IN wing form.

Play Aprons

A NOVEL idea in play aprons for
n children, which will keep them
Il u busy through much of a rainy
day, is TO make them OF red or other
bright-colored cambria and paste upon
them pictures representing nursery
rhymes etc. Sometimes these pictures
can be bought printed on fabric, which
can then be made up into aprons; or
they can be fastened upon the cambria
by means OF decalcomanias. If each
child has two or three STORY aprons
of this sort, made so as to cover the
dress all over. there will be peace in the
nursery on stormy days.
In all work of this sort it is really
important to remember the nerves Of
the sensitive child, and not to imprint
pictures. such as some of those from
Little Red Ridinghood' or sBIue
beard that will frighten instead or
amuse the little one.

Braiding on Coats

n EANY of the new tailored suits for
M autumn show. below the sailor
AvA collar. which is so popular, a
false collar of stitching, or more usually
of braiding. The typical coat of this
sort was seen recently, loose hip
length jacket, with V-shaped vest, sailor
collar finished by silk tie, and a row
of narrow self-colored braiding, about
five inches below. following the collar
in outline. The cuffs were finished in
the same way.
The great number of ruffles which have
appeared as notifications of the tunic
effect seems to have suggested this
style, which gives a becoming effect OF
height to young girls and short women.
Soutache or very narrow fiat braid Is
used. Sometimes It reappears on the.
tunic or simply In banding effect on the
skirt below the knees.
It Is a. good way to make last au-
tumn's suit seem modish again. and to
conceal any necessary lengtheninc for

Furniture Fabrics

THE latest in hat trimmings, for
inexpensive Office or outing
Il hats, is the application of furni-
ture satin, cretonne, etc. OF course,
the use Of cretonne in this way is an
old story; but now upholstering
fabrics OF all sorts. though always
the figured ones, are being used as
bows and scarfs on hats, and even as
separate cut-out flowers. AS they
cost about two or three cents yard.
they should be much in demand
among the economical
Thin materials of this sort can be
faced in another color; curtain mus
lin, for instance, can be treated in
this way. Edging of various sorts is
Of course, better for this purpose than
an allover pattern. though this, too,
is used in Paisley and Persian de-
signs.

To Starch Linens

TN STARCHING linens and similar
goods too light for mourning starch
l. and too dark for the white, put in
the boiling starch a large piece of tissue
paper IN shade to match as nearly as
possible the dress material. This will
dissolve, and when the starch is
strained nothing but the dye win re-
main, making a starch Of the exact
color desired.
This is a good hint for the woman n
who does much color embroidery OF
the stiffly starched variety.

1NarcjIssus for a
Qe1terplpce

TAKE great pleasure in introducing
to you today a centerpiece in narcis-
sus blossoms. For a long time there
has not been any Of the lily family
st our embroidery gatherings. but here
is one that is convincingly pretty. don't
you think?
For all-White work it is beautiful.
Let us consider the lilies first. Work
the flowers in satin stitch and the rings
in the centers in over-and-oVer stitch
so as to give a corded rim in each
blossom. The space inside this will be
left untouched. Where the petals turn
over a little. show the difference by
extra padding ana different direction
Of stitches.
have seen some innovations by clever
embroiderers. For instance, three Of
the petals can be worked with tiny seed
stitches inside an outline, and arranged
so that a solid petal will alternate with
one in seed stitch.
The buds are very effective in solid
stitch. and the slender single lines you
will work in outline.
When you work the long leaves. the
fuing-in stitch is best Be sure to fol-
low the general direction Of the leaf, as
these leaves have parallel veining with
the nlidrib. II I were you I would first

Workbasket Hint

W EEP in your workbasket several
IL large-size safety pins, and use
In them to string loose buttons,
hooks. eyes, etc. Keep those of the
same size on the same pin, black hooks
on black pins, white eyes on white pins,
etc. Thus you never will have an ur7-
tidy workba sket, or be delayed by not
being able to find instantly what you
are looking for.
Fasten the safety pins to one side
of the lining of your basket-and your
method of securing neatness will be
comnlete.

Novel Tunic Effect

A PRETTY idea for the finishing Of
"a tunic, especially one of yelling or
4 n other soft material, is to slash the
tunic in front, like an overskirt, and
knot it loosely at each side, drawing it
away so as to show a great part of the
underskirt up to the knees. The knots
are made about halfway from the
ankles and the tunio falls loosely below
them. OF course, 1t is caught with a
few stitches in back, to keep it in posi-
