Pretty En- broidery

These attractive designs are easily worked
and effeetive. Detail drawings showmethods
Of working.
There are two ways to apply the designs
to the materials upon which you wish to
work.
II your material is sheer-such as hand
kerchief linen, lawn. batiste, and the like
the simplest method is TO lay the material
over the design and with wen pointed pencil
draw over each line.
II your material is heavy secure q piece Of
transfer or impression paper. Lay It face
down upon this, then draw over each line
Of the paper design with = hard pencil or the
point Of steel knitting needle. Upon lift
ing the pattern and transfer paper you will
md q neat and accurate impression Of the
design upon your material.
There are two points to observe In this
process II you would execute II satisfactorily.
One is to see that your material Is level-cut
and folded by thread-and that your design
IS placed upon It evenly at every point.
The second Is, when placed accurately Sc
cure the design to the material with thumb
:acks or pins so they cannot slip during the
operation.
Do not rest your hand or fingers upon any
part OF the design you are transferring. else
the imprint of your fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn lines Of the
design.

To Prevent the Breaking of Silk.
By LAURA BRANDT.

II annoyed by breaking silk when sewing
particularly in overcasting where there is
a hard pull on the thread. try drawing the
fingers along the silk from the point where

gives further strength.
Never forget to thread a needle from the
opposite end Of the thread from where It is
broken OF.
n needle can be more quickly threaded II
the eye Is held over a white surface, and
the needle itself is steadied by pressing the
thumbs back to back while the thread is
being pushed through
Be careful in your choice OF needles. Cheap
ones never pay. They rust and break quick
ly, and the least inequality Of the eye breaks
the thread. An envelope Of thin oiled silk
should be used for extra packs Of needles
otherwise they will be rusty when needed.
Such an envelope should b. included in the
fitting Of every workbag.
Half the disparagement Of needles is due
to using those unsuIted In number to the
silk or cotton. Try to draw a coarse thread
through fine eye and the thread splits and
knots, besides not sewing smoothly Use
crewel needles-which come in all sizes and
lengths for embroidering. II nervous, never
use too coarse a needle, as It pushes badly
and constantly comes unthreaded.
Needles are OF three knds-sharps, be-
tweens. and ground downs. shsrps are most
generally used. but the woman who grows
accustomed to betweens will never use any
thing else. They are less likely to break

REFUSE TO
NAME ASSA|LANTS
Three lronworkers Assaulted.
One Sent to Hospital with
Broken Jaw.

Three ironworkers were badly
beaten. one of them perhaps seri-
ously, in a f~ree-for-all fight in Mar
ket street, near Halsey. early today.
Who their assailants were could not
be determined, as the crowd scat
tered upon the arrival of the police.
Those who were injured after
having their hurts dressed were taken
into custody by the police, but they
refused TO give any clue as to their
a~ssailants. The most seriously in
jured is Cornelius Stiloane, So years
old, of 444 John street, East Newark.
His jaw was broken and he received
cuts, bruises and Commissions about
the body. With Patrick Kerry. 81
years old, of 4S Henry avenue, Nom
rack, n. Y. and Jerry Dunn, "a years
old, of BAL Mulberry street, he was
arraigned before Acting Judge
Rooney, in the First Precinct Court
today. All three bore evidence of
having been in a fight.
Every effort was made by both the
court and the police to get at the
bottom of the trouble, but all three
refused to talk. Asked If they woulo
bebe able to identify their a~ssailants
if they were brought into the
trio replied thaI they would not.
Stiloane was Sent back to the hos
pital for further treatment and the
other two were released.
