One day her benefactor. attracted by
her Industrious perusal of the books con-

English phrase for so long, and it was
not to be found.
well, what is the phrase?" she was
questioned.
Her reply was startling to say the
least. For the love of Mike" she an
swered.

When Designs are Scarce.

After having searched for embroidery
designs, something out of the ordinary,
and having woefully failed, a fastidious
deVotee of art needlework had an idea
an idea that sent her scampering with
pencil an6 tissue paper to the opposite
wall, at which for some minutes past she
had been blankly gazing. Placing the
tissue paper on the wall paper she pains
takingly traced its conventional design,
and shortly after that design appeared
beautifully worked in silk on a most
unusual workbag. And now, when this
ingenious needlewoman wants an en-
broidery design she first searches her
wall papers, sometimes even resorting to
the humble kitchen oilcIoth.
