For the porch rocker there Is much

this purpose. also making an addition of
back and seat cloths to protect the part
| of the chair that comes in contact with
our clothes when reposing comfortably
within the expansive arms OF this sum-

One can make these antimacassars and
chair cloths as simply or as deliberately
as one desires. as IL opens a field for the
embroidery enthusiast that can run the
whole gamut of the fancy as well as the

openwork is less to be desired than
the blind embroidery. for should one
choose to decorate these with the open
work. there will be left a loophole. as
It were. for the ever-present dust to
seep through, and thus set at naught
the full service for which these serv-
iceable articles are actually intended.
AS there is no rougher service to
which an embroidered piece may be
put. one can give way to the vagaries
of ones Imagination to an unwonted
Limitation by designing or sketching
on these cloths whatever seems to
them most weird and mythical. or by
copying out of story books such hob
goblins as strikes ones fancy.
The lighter shades of lavender and
green are the colors that are most TAX
ing for this kind of work. as they do
not denote warmth, as would the differ
ent shades of red or the other high
colors. such as yellow or brown.

doing ones best, so that they will be

All Of u who are interested IN watch
ing things grow under our fingers have
braided and sswed with raffia. The Ger
man hausfrau, however, famous as she
is for her devotion to needlework Of all
sorts, has discovered for US a new art,
and has sent It straight across the At
iantic to US.
1t Is nothing moro or less than weav-
ing in raff1a, or, to be more accurate,
| embroidering on canvas with It, for the
stitch used is only the close satin stitch

The best canvas to use as a foundation
is that cross-meshed variety known as
Java canvas. A rafia needle or a blunt
end crewel needle will also be needed.
and the rafia, which may be purchased
for or 10 cents a bunch, according to
I color. Soak the raffia in water for
| about two hours before using; il will
make It more pliable and easier to work
| with.
You may take your choice of tracing
or drawing the design on the canvas or

former method is very much easier, but
the latter is perhaps a bit more accu-
rate.
Determine Color Scheme beforehand.
As was said. the satin stitch was used.
the length of each stitch being the same
as the width Of that portion OF the de-
sign. Determine your color scheme be-
forehand, for upon It depends much OF
the beauty of the completed piece. Raf1a
comes in about twenty-five colors, and
II you desire some peculiar shade not OBJ
tainable otherwise, you can get the
natural colored and dye II with aniline
dyes
II possible stretch the canvas on
frame before working. A carpenter will
make you a square wooden frame to
which you can attache the canvas with
thumbscrews, IL you have no other; or
an old plain picture frame would do.
Make the canvas a little larger than you
wish your finished piece to be.
Innumerable things may be worked in
rafia. Among them might be mentioned
book and magazine covers, table covers,
screens. and when the rafia is worked
on narrow bands, borders for curtains
and portieres, hat bands. trimmings for
crash or linen suits or dresses, and edg-
ings for canvas-covered waste baskets,
hassocks &C.
The work will never wear out and may
be used again and again When 1t Is
dirty, ii can be wiped or with damp
sponge, and will be as good as new again.
II the colors fade. they may be touched
up with aniline paints.
Certainly no other form Of fancy work
has all these advantages and beauty as
we'll; and for this reason, II no other.
we may expect this German raffia weav-
ing to become popular everywhere with
the discriminating craftswoman Of Amer
