PRETTY THINGS FOR
THE NEEDLEWOMAN
Embroidery will Away, Hold First
Place in Fancy Work

AS long as we have the eternal femi-
nine. embroidery will be one of the pas-
times for the woman who is clever with
the needle. Each year increases the num-
Der of articles decorated with this at
tractive handwork, and these are used
FOR personal adornment or for the home
The latter class offers a wider scope
for every room in the house can be inn
proved by adding some pretty handmade
article.
For instance. the living room or one
furnished with craftsman or brown will
low furniture should have draperies, cush-
ions. table runner, and couch cover to
harmonic. Material suitable for this
purpose Is pongee. scrim. linen, easement
cloth. or Bagdad linen in rich tones of
tan. green. or brown. The most artistic
window draperies for a room of this type
are in the straight curtains hancing az
either side of the window frame. II YOU
desire to make the draperies especially
attractive, finish the edge with a hem
stitched border. Above this embroider

The table runner, cushions and couch
cover should be made to correspond
For DininR-room.
For the dining-room the energetic
peries, and a tablecover. Suitable ma
terial for this purpose would be scrim,
madras, or shantung silk of a white or
cream tone. On this stamp a conven-
tional tulip. iris, daisy. or poppy design
and embroider with delft blue, yellow,
or green, according to the color used in
the room.
Any pretty flower designs can be used
TO decorate the bedrooms. and they may
be embroidered or stenciled. The design
used on the scarfs, draperies, cushions.
and bedspread should match as nearly
as possible that appearing In the WALL
paper. To cut the design from Powered
cretonne and applique them to the scrim,
madras, dimity, or easement cloth, is an
other charming decoration for the bed
room.
The veranda during the summer
months Is as comfortably furnished as
many living rooms. and here again the
needlewoman has ample opportunity to
display her art The cover for the porch
swing. cushions for the chairs. and the
tablecover should be made of some dur
able wash material and adorned with
embroidery.
There are many simple conventional
designs which are rapidly embroidered
and are as effective as more elaborate
ones.
A visit to the neeclework shops will
furnish you with ideas enough to keep
you busy during the entire summer.

THE USE OF BUTTONS
CONTINUES GENERAL
Attractive Variety of Forms Are Eas-
iIy Made at Home.

The use Of buttons has been continued
rative feature OF importance 1t should be
recognized by all women who are clever
| enough to emphasize little things. But
tons in the wonderful variety Of forms
are attractive, but they need not be
bought II you are clever enough with
your eyes and your needle.
Molds are purchasable in all sizes and
shapes. II is wise to have a collection
OF them always at hand. for frequently
one or two are necessary to finish a
drapery, sash, or a band.
When covering a button mold, cut a
disk of material twice the diameter of
the mold. Gather the edges, draw up.
clip the mold into the little bag. and sew
on the wrong side over and over. Do
not have the material so large that a
lump is formed in the center of the un-
der side. as this prevents a fiat adjust
ment on the dress.
Many little ways of decorating these
hand buttons are yours II you
] will but heed the notes on effective
gowns.
One type OF ratine-covered form has a
double row of stitches around the edge.
made Of coarse silk In two colors This
gives a beautiful effect.
French knots. made before the molds
are covered, are easily applied. and in
either one color or a combination Of
shades make quick decoration.
To Make Spider Web.
The spider web is a covering which is
easily made. as you have no doubt fire.
quently worked in the renaissance work
so much in vogue years ago.
On the covered mold make crossed
lines that resemble spokes of a wheel,
catch the lines Of thread together at the
center by knotting the thread and weave
the remaining thread under and over the
spokes, going around the center until
you have formed a solid woven disk as
large as you wish.
Net or lace covering satin molds Of a
contrasting color makes a lovely back
ground for quick embroidery. One ex-
Quisite model OF Powered wolfe has a
girdle of tapestry-blue silk and a new
guimpe. Buttons are made of blue silk.
covered with net and embroidered in
pink floss in flowers to echo the
blossoms scattered over the wolfe. Any
flower idea can be carried out in this
way.
Square buttons, covered and embroid-
cred in solid stitch so that a sCJlare on
the diagonal forms the center. are very
new. Conventional forms are easily en-
broidered. II you take the weave of the
goods for a guide. Sometimes the pat
tern Of the material will give an excel
lent background which you can work in
solid colors and have an. extensive disk
for a few minutes work.
Tiny buttons. covered with taffeta or
satin and shaped to resemble berries. are
made by gathering a disk over a pad
of raw cotton. sewing and attaching to
twisted silk for the stems. These are ap-
piled as IL they grew on a running vine,
the twisted silk threads forming the
stem.
These hints should prove an impetus to
the home dressmaker who can follow a
suggestion to its embroidery finish.

 The truth is that rich man may be just as loyal a friend, just as capable of brotherhood as a poor man.

People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but not permanently. Doan's Kid ney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity:
 F. A. Sutton, tent and awning dealer, Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg, Salem, Oregon, says: q had Kid uey trouble and rheumatism for ten years and sometimes was laid up, Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains extended through my back and were most severe in my kidneys and loins. Often when working, l had to give up. l lost weight and was in very poor health. l had headaches, rest ed but little at night and did not know what to do. On a friends ad- vice tried DOan's Kidney Pills and to my surprise, they brought a great improvement ina few days. l continued to get better steadily. l got more sleep, my appetite improy- ed and the pains gradually, but surely left me. After I had used three boxes of Deans Kidney Pills, l was in better health than I had been for ten years and not a sign of kidney complaint remained. The cure had been permanent. l gladly confirm the endorsement gave Doan's Kidney Pills several years ago"
