FRENCH KNOT HERE TO STAY
Has Passed From Stage of Novelty to
Be Real Help to the Artistic
NeedleWoman.

1t is surprising how realistic some
lowers can be made with the little
French knot when it is given suffl-
cient consideration and care For in
stance, purple clover worked in
French knots is startling in its near
ness to natures own product You
can obtain the stamped design with
little dots forming the clover bios
som. Sometimes these are not suf-
ficiently close to make realistic bios
som. After you have worked the
stamped dots in French knots, fill up
the blank spaces between. so that the
blossom is more or less packed. Two
shades of purple should be used in
making the blossom, lighter shade
at the top and darker shade near
the base Of the flower.
Then there is the yellow goldenrod.
A close examination of the real flower
will convince you that it is apparently
made up of odorous French knots. If
possible, the goldenrod worked in
yellow silk French knots is even more
realistic than the clover blossoms.
Equally as effective as the golden

worked in white French kpSes, with
green foliage in the confessional leaf
stitch Daisy centers were never so
natural as when done in the yellow
French knot. The knots must be very
closely packed to make the center
look like the center of the real
flower, and the correct shade must be
carefully selected. This precaution
must be taken in doing the golden
rod, too. About the same shade is
used for both goldenrod and daisy
centers. 1t Is a yellow with just the
faintest suggestion of green in it,
such as you will see In natures own
goldenrod and daisies.
While the French knot was at first
looked upon as novelty, there is
scarcely doubt that it has come to
stay. Once the knack is acquired, 1t
is one of the easiest and quickest of
stitches, and it has helped greatly in
the artistic and natural evolution Of
floral decoration in art needlework.

The primrose, it is said, was Bea-
consfield's favorite flower, and has
been chosen by his followers, who
formed the Primrose league, as an
emblem, while in France, the violet,
because of its purple hue, was worn by
imperialists as an informal token of
their loyalty to the Bonapartes. When
the son Of the ex-Empress Eugenie
was brought home to be buried after
being killed in the Zulu campaign, his
body was almost covered in violets.
Then, again, there are favorite ma
tional emblems. There are the lilies
of France, the thistle for Scotland, the
shamrock for Ireland. the leek for
Wales. and the maple leaf for Canada.
The United States has no national
flower and probably never will, owing
to its wide range Of climate, which
makes the selection OF flower OF uni
versal popularity almost impossible.

Other MethoGs Than Washing Are
Desirable Between the Regular

the Dislodslne of Dust.

Halr cannot be kept In good condi,
ton If the brushes are allowed to be.

stance found In the hair. Since toe
frequent washing is not to be recon-
mended for hair brushes it is good
plan when giving the hair thorough
brushing to pass the comb through the
brush atteT every three or four brush
lngs, wiping the comb on small cloth.
" is astonishing the quantity of dust

when the grooming is finished.
After an ordinary using brush can
be cleaned by combing it with coarse
comb, striking the bristles downward
on a sheet of paper to loosen PARTICLES
OF dust and dandruff, and finally wip-
ing vita & piece of bath toweling or
any coarse. soft hit of cloth. Some
people keep a whisk broom for dislodg.

be recommended when 1t is undesir.
able to wash the brush often as in the
case of silver or an ivory mounted
brush.
The English method is to clean ex-
pensive brushes with dry flour. The
Hour is put into the brushes, which are
then put together and the bristles
worked to and fro. Then the -four is
removed by beating one brush with
the back of the other on to news
paper. More flour is put in If thought
necessary and shaken out until the
brush is perfectly clean. Then the
bristles are rubbed with a cloth and
the back cleaned with polish if silver,
and soap and water il ivory.
Some people claim warm water in
jures the bristles OF hair brushes and
prefer to use cold. but am an advo-
cate of quite warm water, not so hot
as to soften the bristles or to affect
the glue with which they are often
secured, Of course, but hot enough to
give thorough cleaning, says a writer
in the Kansas City Star.
To wash hairbrush have weak
solution of ammonia, about one table
spoonful Of the fluid to pint of warm
water. l do not approve of soap. be-
cause 1t is apt to make the bristles
tender. The ammonia will cut any
greasy substance in the brush and be
better than soap. Dip the brush into
the ammonis. water or rather the
bristles, and rub them to and fro In
the hand until clean, or occasionally
dipping. Then rinse first in warm and
then in cold water. Never turn brush
on its back to dry, because the water
will irjure the wood mounting. Wipe
the back Of the brush and set the
bristles downward to dry on clean
cloth, where it will get sun and air.
TO disinfect a hairbrush put q, few
drops of carbolic acid in the rirsing
water.
