to help us: to see that the darkest clouds

his name is honored side by side with

THIS attractive pattern is one
1 of the miniature designs. a
pretty departure from heavy en-
broidery effects, yet different in
many respects from French en-
broidery or any of its modifca-
tons. The satin stitch is used
throughout, and by satin stitch
is meant an over-and-over stitch
which covers tie pattern alike on
both sides. All tendr;ll lines are
finished in outline or backstitch.
This form OF embroidery calls for
no padding. In fact. its chief OBJ
jeot is to impart fragile touch
OF llandwork to the garment.
The twin eyelets in each notch
should be worked in eyelet stitch,
while the extreme edge calls for
buttonhole work. Often narrow
ruftle OF valenciennes is placed
right back of the notches. particu-
larly when anything fancy is de-
sired. This pattern would DC
very pretty on chemise or night
gown. and it is one which would
be very artistic on a shirt waist
front. provided a touch of lace is
added.

entirely transferred. being careful
to rub from, rather than toward
you.
When rubbing, it can be seen
whether enough pressure is being
applied by lifting the corner of
the design. Do not wet tia ma

sign with damp fingers. To re-
move the design lines after the
article is finished, wash in warm
water with soap. The entire
process-is very simple, and with a

perfect transfers to any kind of
material.
