WRINKLES FOR THE
BMBROIDERYLOVER
Have Both Sides of Goods
Show Up Well.

Devotees Of the embroidery needle will
be pleased to learn and put to good use
the new wrinkle Of the two-sided en-
broidery.
Jabots and neckties. scarfs and tunics,
or even fans, can be enhanced by hay-
ing both sides Of the embroidery show
up equally well.
It requires a deal Of patience and a
little trouble to acquire accuracy in the
stitches, but then one is rewarded In be-
ing able to monopolize the hitherto un-
used side Of any Of the articles named
above. and II one has the time one can
even enlarge on the scope Of ones fancy
work.
For this work, instead Of the regular
embroidering hoop a frame Is necessary,
SO that both hands can be freely used.
one above the frame and the other
under.
Use Simple DesiEn.
The first designs upon which We must
concentrate our efforts must be neither
too elaborate or too intricate, but some
thing simple and Of design easy to fol-
low, so that in the new departure We do
not easily become confused and perhaps
become discouraged before. the work Is
hardly commenced.
For a beginning 1t is to be assumed
that on account of its stitches being
slightly slanting the satin stitch should
be attempted.
The filling in Of the figures in which
padding is necessary should be done as
one progresses.
Care in Fastening Threads.
More than ordinary care must be ex-
ercised to fasten each thread invisibly,
that is, beneath some other or in the
body of the cloth, so that 1t can be sew
ed through by the following needleful.
and in this manner 1t will be firmly Sc
cured in place.
The working of dots is done by a
different process than the regular en-
broidery as II is supposed to be started
in the middle and worked to the one side
then carefully drawn between the threads
already in and the other half finished
from the side to the center so that the
thread can be securely hidden away.
Avoid a knot II you would be success
full at this kind Of work and bring the
threads close to one another.

- HE kind hearted business man
loved flowers and SO he ordered
a carpenter to build a cunning
window garden box just outside his Of
flee window, away up near the top of
the great brick building. When it was
finished he planted within the box
pretty nasturtiums and beautiful red
geranium, and the little dash of color
seemed to brighten the whole building.
One day, as a gentle breeze lazily
rocked the geranium to and fro-some-
times far enough for it to take q peak
out over the edge of the garden box
the geranium noticed something it had
never seen before.
Away down below she saw q mass of
beautiful green with little straggly lines
of lighter green shooting up toward
her.
"Oh, what is it?" she asked of her
little friend, the breeze.
The little breeze did not answer at
once; he kind of seemed as If he didn't
want to.
What is it-what is it1" asked the
geranium again, determined to know.
And then the little breeze spoke.
81 had decided not to tell you about
it." he began. because I thought it
might make you feel badly"
Make me feel badly-why, what do
-nu mean?" interrupted the geranium.

applying this cream. as otherwise the
bed linen may become soiled.

LAMPS AND SHADES
FOR SUMMER HOME

1t is not too early to be thinking of
the shades for the summer cottage or
seashore bungalow. With the pretty
and cool looking green pottery lamps are
leaf green shades-made Of japanese rice
paper. These are most attractive in
deed.
A little more expensive. but very
| charming also. are the wicker lamps
with the shades to match. Soft silks
in red, green, or yellow tones like the
wicker shades and give out delightful
light. The wicker shade, however, may
be purchased separately to go with any
lamp.
\ In garden-like designs come cretonne
shades, and these are very useful indeed
to harmonize with summer hangings and
furnishings.

housewife will not be so discourasing.
When we read that the health authori-
ties of New York City estimate that
about one-half Of the deaths from
typhoid in the metropolis are attributable
to the distribution Of the germs by hies,
we feel that we must do our best to RID
our own part of the world Of these germ
carriers.
It will mean never ceasing vigilance on
the part of the housewife. The mouse

the dog securely by closing his knees. so
as to control the movements of the body
while he holds the dogs head up with
his hands.
The person who is to administer the
medicine then takes his place in front
