Embroidery Notes.

When embroidering cotton crepes
marquisettes and similar materials, first
baste muslin underneath the design to
be worked and work through the two.
When finished cut carefully around on
the wrong side and the result will be
beautiful work, firm and without a
pucker.
To give machine-embroidere neck
wear and waists a handmade finish,
embroider over them in white or color,
saving the time of stamping and pad
ding. The result is very effective:
Instead of using embroidery hoops
baste your material onto stiff brown
wrapping paper. 1t is easier to work
this way and does not stretch the ma
terial as the hoops do.
Use round corset lacing for padding
scallop embroidery. No extra stitch
ing or basting is needed. Fasten the
lacing to the material where you begin
kuttonholing

STANDARDS GO UP
AS INCOME GROWS
Away Fly the Increased Earnings on
Pleasant Luxuries Which We Have
Not Known Before.
By.FRANCEs sHAFFER.

Perhaps everyone who ever has earned
dollar for himself recalls with bit OF
amused wonderment how big his first
earnings looked; recalls, too, how they
began to shrink and shrink in his esti-
mate until they seemed just nothing at
all.
Then, when the great day came when
earnings were doubled. they looked al
most as big and important as ever they
did; but, alas! they quickly shrank like
the others. And so it went until his
limitation was reached. And up there on
every fair money-making heights. quite
likely his earnings still seem just moth
ing at all. For riches are so relative. A
little more than one has had in the past
is almost reckoned fortune, until, with
familiarity, comes the proverbial con-
tempt.
But why the great shrinkage?
The trouble is that for most Of US,
as incomes increase. up go our stand
ards of living, and away fly the eX-
ira earnings on the pleasant. but very
swift wings of luxuries unknown be-
fore.

Section Of Marching Army Told or

preach Of Possible Danger.

Many observers have noticed the
soldierlike qualities of an army Of
termites, or white ants, when in close
array it ovcrwhclms the objects Of
its attack or travels along in orderly,
military file. An account in La Ma
ture, based on the observations of
Professor Bugnion Of Lausanne, tells
OF curious drum corps Of these
fierce little warriors.
One day Professor Bugnion visit
ed a little island on the Lake Amo-
balangoda in Ceylon. While idling
about he suddenly became aware Of
faint drumming noise. Turning
in the direction from which the
sound came, he perceived colony
OF termites beneath some dry leaves
that had fallen from bread tree
The noise, which lasted for few
seconds, sounded like the very dis
tant roll of drum. On closer in
vestigation Professor Bugnion dis
covered that it was caused by a little
band of termites beating a lively
tattoo with their mandibIes against
the bottom of the leaves. They had
evidently been disturbed by his APP
proach, and were warming the work.
ing battalion of the army.
Another instance of the effective
ness of the drum corps was observed
in the interior of bungalow. No
ticing that termites had invaded the
wall of one of the rooms, the owner
had placed in one corner an iron pot
filled with bits of wood; he hoped
to attract them into the pot and then
burn them. Professor Bugnion went
into the room and closed a closet
door somewhat sharply. Immedi-
ately he noticed a drumming noise
coming from the kettle. AS soon as
the sound died away, he repeated the
experiment, with the same result.
Each time that a sharp or unusual
noise was made, or that some one
talked loudly the termites' signal of
alarm was drummed in the kettle
