Metallic Embroidery

THE very newest in the ever
popular scarf is quite capable
of being made up at home. 1t is
a scarf of metal tissue net--usually
gold or silver-embr with a
wavy border of narrow braid and an
amer and more complicated pattern
oI beads, all in exactly the same tone.
How beautiful this would be worked
out, say, in copper, or in irfdescent
net, can easily be imagined. 1t is
work that is charming to do, and
is remarkably attractive when it is
done. Never was there an effect of
SO much opulence for so little time
and trouble!

A Sewing Tip

v silk that quite often the seams
Il are inclined to pucker when silk
thread is used. The sewing is made

bin, with silk thread above.
Do not dampen such seams when
pressing them, for often water marks
silk so that the stain cannot be re-
moved.

FORA change I suggest the easy couch

this way. using the thick rope SILK or
cord that comes for COUGHING. and catch
down every half inch or so with finer
thread. In other words. you follow the
outline with the left hand and the thick
thread. and tack it in place with your
needle of the right hand
II will be extremely effective If you
combine green and brown or brown and
red in the COUGHING stitches. holding
down the thicker thread with con-
trastirg color.
work the stems n stem stitch. with
solid midribs.
The acorns you will outline in brown
en- the dome-shaped tops. and nil in the
acorn cups with brown French knots.
This is very striking and gives few
solid spots on the design.
Pad the scallops with darning cotton
and work with brown. using the button
hole stitch IF you wish. you can make
this pretty centerpicce larger by add
ing wide ecru lace in torehon OF cluny
under the edge.
A little introduction Of red or yellow
Is good: by adding an extra line below

there were any designs against the unity Of the

The impending destruction of Alumni Hall to

on with equanimity, because the structure is

to Uncover Fake.

Londop.-It seems strange that
freaks, from the legless wonder to the
two-headed calf. should possess such
a strange fascination for nine people
out of ten, yet this is undoubtedly
the case.
or course, there are many so-calleo
freaks which have no business 10 oe
called by such an unpleasant name'
for II one argues from the dictionary
a freak is q monstrosity. and mon
strosity In the generally accepted
sense of the word. is something hor-
rible. The giant and the dwarf are
interesting and unusual. but certainly
should not be called freaks.
Hunchbacks were an exception 10
the rule, for all kinds Of powers were
attributed to them. There are some
very sensitive people to whom the
sight of anything in the nature OF
monstrosity is absolute pain. ana
women are fortunately few and FAR
between who fall in love with mon
ster because of his monstrosity. as
in the case Of Victor Hugo's "L'homme
qui Rit."
The ordinary Individual comes
across very few physical freaks. and
one cannot but wonder whence the
showman's rank and file are recruited.
Perhaps. II the truth were known
more than half OF the show freaks are
fakes" There are many good stories
told of these sham freaks. who. owing
to some contreteIaps. have given the
show away" The two following are
good examples:

the finest draws the show had ever

could have recognized the gorilla. as
