Circular Pincushion

NNE OF the circular forms will be
best for the very dainty French
pincushion. Made at home, it will
require box along its edge TO bring
about the best results. The box should
measure two inches In height when
finished, the cushion four inches in di-
ameter.
Made OF ivory white corded silk, the
covering is well fitted, after being cut
the exact shape as the under part.
Just along the top line of the box piece
there is now sewed a frill OF the silk
four inches deep. This will stand out
like a petticoat; over it there will be
placed a ruffie Of creamy French lace.

the wearer and the worker. Fashions
IN blouses are not so rapid in their
progress as to make it unsafe to choose
any reliable pattern for embroidering.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said for and against the making of the
actual dress in advance, the embroid-
erer will agree that 1t is hardly possi-
bic to do some Of the large pieces of
handwork that whole dresses require,
except during long idle periods such
as summer offers.
Now for the little things. There are
thrifty women who embroider bands of
heavy or of lighter weight white linen
Tor later applique upon any garment.
This is, in reality, summer work, since
there is nothing here to get old fash

Under the same head come strips of
handwork to apply to underwear,
straps for the baby carriage, bootees
and little caps for baby, the scalIoped

and an unlimited number of different

are quite simple; as, for instance, the
