rYELET and Solid Embroidery
IL. When there is a combination Of
these two embrolderies 1t is always
well to do the eyelet first. This is,
of course, not compulsory, but It is
rather harder to make a smooth, fiat
eyelet II close to It there are already
worked some heavily-padded leaves
which Interfere more ar .sxs with the
placing Of the needle. The solid
work may be done either in the reg
ular satin-stitch or in the newer
Wallachian. II the former is select
ed few stitches of the working
thread. taken lengthwise of the leaf,
Will serve as the necessary padding.
Across this, the embroidery is done in
close, even stitches. placed either d.
rectly across the leaf or in slightly
slanting direction. Stitches placed
at too great slant make quick work.
but the result is not so good.
II 1t is preferred to fill this part
of the design with Wallachian embroi-
derry no padding whatever is required,
and the stitch used is the plain button
hole, or blanket stitch begun at the
stem end of each leaf and worked
from left to right, each buttonhole
stitch reaching from the midrib or
vein Of the leaf to its outer edge and
lying at right angles to 1t. When the
tonhole stitches radiate from this point
until the end of the leaf has been turn
ed The parallel stitches of the other
half are then worked. When all the
flowers and leaves have been COM
pleted, the parallel lines making the
heart shaped spaces are worked
These are not outlined, but after a
line of padding has been worked along
their length embroidery stitches are
aid over and over this padding at
light angles to 1t, and In close, even
stitches. One of the most satisfac-
DRY threads for padding is the or
binary white darning cotton used for
mending hose. Two, three, or four
threads of this may be used and may
be either back-stitched in position
Or carried along in the old fashioned
rhain stitch.
Before each eyelet is punched with
the stiletto, its line of stamping should
be run with little even stitches. These
help to strengthen the eyelet. regulate
its size, and retain its shape. In
very small eyelets this may be omit
ted. If preferred, unless the material
is given to splitting when the stiletto
is used. Then the outlining must not
be neglected. English eyelets are
never buttonholed, but are dorfe in
little, close, over-and-over stitches,
each set into the line Of stamping.

Grow Heads Puzzle the Officials

"off rainy days" hunting crows. They
are bringing them to the county seats
by hundreds. The heads are strung
like so many beads or pearls, and oft.
en- the strings measure four or five
feet in length. In communities where
the crows are plentiful-and that
seems to be all over Indiana--the gun.
ners can bag enough crows in day
to realize good compensation for
their work.
Here is where the rub comes in.
The county clerk who receives and
pays for the crow heads must keep
them until his books. stock and office
materials are audited by the county
commissioners, which is once year.
Now what Is the county clerk going
to do with the hundreds and hundreds
Of crow heads brought to his Office?
Surely he cannot put them away in
the safe with other valuables. Neither
can he throw them away, for in that
event he would have to stand the
bounty money from his own pocket.
The result is that his Office smells to
high heaven. and even the sale of
marriage licenses has suffered
slump.
And that is the reason the county
clerks of Indiana have signed a round
robin and forwarded it to Governor
Marshall. praying him to offer solu-
ton, or at least appoint commission
for that end.

KEEPING Wells IN CONDITION
Care Bestowed on This Important Artl-
Gle Of Apparel Is Worth While
Financially.

The ready made lace veil will cost
from two dollars and half to four
teen dollars, and every becoming mesh
sold by the yard is dear In proportion.
So IL behooves the wearer of wells to
study how they can be kept in good
condition. The fshnet webs do not
need to be hemmed at the ends, as
after the veil is tied on these are
tucked under the knot. But such wells
should be pulled out when they are
taken off and rolled up from one end
before they are put away. Old cur
tain rollers, sawed up into pieces the
width of the veil. are often used for
keeping the crushable nets tidy. The
first end. of the veil is stretched tight
over the stick and the rest rolled snug.

those without them were not allowed
