TWo-sided Embroidery.

From the Philadelphia Star.
In embrOidering articles of dress, it
is an immense help if the embroidery
Is alike on both sides. The Orientals
have for some time monopolized this
art, but that is not at all an unavoid-
able condition, for We could acquire
the method easily if we would bestoY
a little trouble and patience and ac-
curate stitches. What an advantage this
treatment is in scarfs, neckties, fans,
jabots, and tunics,
Begin with easy designs, neither in
tricate nor elaborate, in a frame, so that
both hands can be used. Raised satin
stitch Is the most suitable, the stitches
slightly slanting. Fill in your pattern as
you go, and fasten off each thread Sc
curely and invisibly. You must follow
the outline accurately. To work a dot
the same on both sides. begin in the CEN
ter. finishing first one half and then the
other.
Hens must not be outlined. Conven-
tionalized patterns are more easily
worked in this way. OF course, you must
never use a knot. and put the stitches
very 6ose together, but never overlap.
Use both hands. one above the other, in
working.

The japanese Wife.

A Japanese wife is more than a wife
she is an artist. says Adachi Kinnosuke,
in the Delineator. She is an artist in
that most difficult Of art-and the most
needful-the art Of handling men. 1t is
the consuming ambition Of her life. For
it and in it she lives.
The woman Of Nippon is not notably
attractive in either face or figure. She
suffers a severe. handicap in comparison
with English and American women.
Therefore she does the next best thing
she displays policy. 1 believe your word
for ii Is tact.
OF the woman Of Japan there is one.
Just one. opinion among her judges.
especially among her foreign critics. AS
a wife she is all gentleness and lovable-
ness This is quite remarkable. coming
from men the world around. Whatever
may be their criticisms on other things,
they are all praise for the japanese
woman as wife. There are more rea-
sons than one.
In the first place. she is past mistress
in the art of commanding men, only in
her case it is no longer an art-it is
second nature with her. The basic, ele-
mental qualifications of a great COM
mander Of men. East and West. Is and
always has been this-to know how to
obey. Everybody knows that. Even
Napoleon knew that. Greater than he
who saw st. Helene after seeing Auster-
litz the Japanese woman acts out what
she knows-what she knows SO we'll and
has known so long that she is no longer
even conscious OF il.

having given a hint for A wonderful even
ing gown. while the little theater caps
which have such a vogue this winter seem
to call out for an accompanying frock in
the Gainsborough style. And the frock
is very often forthcoming.
The prevailing idea among dressmakers
is that 1911 will bring us greater variety
of individual expression in evening clothes
and more conservative lines for dresses
made for street and morning wear.
Velvet Stin Popular.
AS for material. velvet is al the height
Of its popularity. 1t Is bound to continue
so for some time, but as an investment
for a woman who has to wear her dresses
several seasons it is not to be advised.
for there are so many excellent imita-
tions Of velvet that 1t is too popular and
will probably be supplanted by next win
ter by a new heavy silk.
A Drown, Blue. and Green Spring.
Among the novel materials are en-
broidered voles and bordered materials
Of every kind Black and white, still
the popular colors, will hold strong for
the res; of the season. black being espe-
cially favored. and even in cotton dress
goods with floral designs in appropriate
colors. black backgrounds are most popu-
lar. After this come the different shades
of blue and Paris predicts spring O'
brown. blue, and green.
Different shades of red. too. are com
ing to the fore while new shades of Olo
gold and apricot pink are represented In
the materials for evening gowns.
AS 10 trimmings. it may almost be
said that they have been overdone on
evening clothes, and too Ettle has been
seen on day dresses. New embrofderies
in delicate shades OF pastel tints have
been introduced to supplant the Persian
designs aid colors. which are 50 much In
favor at present that they may safely be
depended upon TO go out with this sea-
son.
one Of the novelties Of the spring will
be the introduction Of the shoulder cape
or pelerine to take the place Of the long
scarf. These capes will be close fitting.
and will consist of one cape and collar
or layers of capes in pliable silk. broad
cloth, or velvet.

Washing the Dishes.

The Dish Cioth-An inferior article,
but how important in regard to its
cleanliness or neglect. Some very par
ticuiar housekeepers. neat in other
things, are careless about their dish
cloths. and in some cases. II bacte-
riologist could examine them. the cloths
would be carried out Of the house with
a pair Of tongs. Doubtless many dis
eases have originated from unelean dish
cloths, and unless kept Immaculate they
are = menace to health. They should
be sterilised by boiling every day and
should be changed once . week. Too
many housewives keep tho same cloth

terfal IN the house that could be utilised
for that purpose. Even to buy them
