An Embroidered Towel.

one OF the pleasantest pieces of sum
mer embroidery is towel of some sort.
Towels are sold already stamped in wide
variety of material and design. and the
pattern companies have attractive pat
terms for embroidering them in punch
work. eyelet work. satin stitch. Wal
lachian, cross-stitcb and many other
kinds OF work. Huckaback can be bought
by the yard The ffteen-inch guest tow
els should be three-quarters OF a yard
long before they are stamped. and the
pattern should be stamped an inch from
the edge to give sufficient leeway for
embroiderins. and the eighteen-inch tow
els should be a yard long and stamped
from transfer patterns.
There are delightful designs in hucka-
back by the yard. Nothing is prettier for
guest towels than that with narrow
satin stripe; some of this satin-striped
pattern has band along the edges of
satin damask leaves and flowers. This
kind Of huckaback in reliable quality ID
20 cents yard. The woman who starts
away for the summer with several yards
OF huckaback in different widths. several
packages OF patterns-there are two OF
three different designs In each envelope
and they cost 10 cents an envelope-and
several packages of embroidery cotton
will have delightful needlework for the
whole summer.
good many things can be made from
embroidered towels One thing is q
laundry bag. This is made from tive
lengths of about yard. One end of each
length is stamped with a design and en-
broidered. The other end of one length
is turned In hem about an inch wide
in which a narrow. fiat stick is slipped
or piece of whalebone or collar stinen-
ing. This strip forms the back of the
bag and the stiffened end Is the top. The

SILk ornaments OF almost every de-
- scription will be prominent on fall
dresses. Beaded ornaments will also
be used, as will also beads in combine
ton ornaments and tassels. Pearl beads
and rhinestones will be used together
and jets will be exceedingly popular.
Strap ornaments for the back OF
dresses will be used for finishing points
in the front and sides of skirts where
the folds are caught up. Similar orna-
ments finished with silk fringe are now
being made on new style girdle sashes.
The searcher for odd patterns and
sizes in buttons will be in her glory
in the fall. Chinese and Mosaic effects
are worked into many designs. Black
silk crochet. crystals and jet buttons
are in round, oval. pyramid. diamond
square and hexagon shape. Metal and
ivory are used great deal on combi-
alton buttons. some having cloth CEN
tiers. others being solid with compo-
sition center resembling fabrics.

The bal poudre was one of the most

fully intended to do their duty, but.
probably because they remembered a
little chap with precisely her failings,
and who was now her father, they al
lowed her few days to rest and re-
new acquaintance made on former oc-
casions
The first day proved momentous The
forenoon was spent with the Crashaws,
her grandparents oldest and dearest
friends and near neighbors. but she
left them with a sensation wholly new.
The old smile Of welcome had been
lacking; they had shown no interest.
even when she described the fine homes
their sons Albert and Dick had built in
the city, exactly opposite her own. The
change was too evident to be misun-
derstoOd. and All accusing conscience
helped her to an instantaneous conclu-
sion. OF course. they had heard of her
stupid failure and disapproved.
She walked slowly home, hurt to the
very heart. and went to her room, in
tending to begin lessons at once. but
the dinner bell rang and when the meal
was over she decided to attend. with
her grandmother. a meeting Of the
women's guild. The members were to
decide on plans for creating a benevo-
lent fund. and before ten minutes had
passed she was one OF the two enthu-
siastic persons present. The other was
Mrs. Judson. the hostess. a newcomer.
and the head and front of the proposed
bazaar. which was finally approved and
launched.
Afterward the conversation drifted To
other things. but June. who knew
something of baZaars. was immersed In
plans for the success of this one. and
gave no thought to it till her grand
mother spoke.
You will have a beautiful home.
Mrs. Judson when" with glance at
workmen outside. your improvements
are completed"
Mrs Judson smiled THE house has
splendid possibilities. she said. The
grounds. too. except that they are too
small But that feature is to be
remedied. We are to annex the plot
yonder where the cottage stands. I
shall be twice glad. for those old
fashioned flowers are a daily torment.
You see ladies'" she finished, laughing.

THE DAILY STORY.
How June Kept Out.
Copyright, 1913, by W. Werner,

We're twins. She's the smart one.
The announcement was entirely mat
ter of fact and without suspicion OF
jealousy. The smart one" a shy little
thing with every atom of beauty the
pair possessed. was indicated by an en-
gaging smile and comical waggle OF
one lean hand.
A week later the teacher who had the
twins in charge remarked that, in her
opinion, nature had no right to a dis
elimination SO really criminal The
forty-five tots at the various tables in
view. BY some sort of mystical free
masonry June from the first moment
was accorded popularity. Ii fly was

drop herself. It was she. too, VINO

mussy and bungled and invariably OF
the worst.

to make grade" was the judgment.
1t was what June had heard every
day of her school life, but she admitted
the justice of the criticism. and bore
with remarkable fortitude her mothers
ultimatum: IF you fail in your ex-
aminations you shall go to your grand
mothers to study while Adele and l

On ParasoIs.

ZINE shadow lace decorates some of
the daintiesr psrasols. and il is
put on in many pretty ways. Some
times tiny lace squares are inserted
in the silk. but in number of cases
the lace is put on in the shape of a
frill and caught here and there with
tiny pink rosebud. When the parasol
is simple and of one color it is a pretty
fancy to have the edge outlined with
tiny closely packed silk blossoms.
