covers can be made without lace.
In joining the squares to the cover
with lace it is advisable to stitch the
lace on by machine first. Then, if it
is desired. embroider over the stitch
ing and at the same time catch back a
bit of the linen with the narrow satin
stitch we are showing. so that the
edge of the lace does not show.
If one does not care TO do the extra
work of embroidering over the ma
chine stitching, an allowance OF an
eighth of an inch of linen can be made
for turning back and restricting. By
putting lace or insertion on by ma
chine the material is kept fiat. and
perfect laundering is insured.

The reason why one must not let the
needle go through any of the material
under the buttonhole stitch is that
when the work is completed the ma

embroidery, which resembles lace.
After the buttonhole stitch from (A)

We shall now tell you how TO pro
coed in the embroidering of these COW
ers, using the angle-shaped corner de-
sign illustrated. Unlike other en-
broidery, Italian cutwork is not made
with a hoop or embroidery frame.
The material TO be embroidered is
basted on an oilcloth, small part at
time. For this heavy black oilcloth,
which comes a. inches wide and costs
IS cents a yard, is used. A quarter OF
a yard will be sufficient In fact, II
two persons are embroiderlng at the

be cut in half and each one have a

When you have gone all around and

meet (A) with OBJ by spanning two
threads across to OBJ and back again
to (A). On these two threads held
firmly proceed to make a buttonhole

It Is a good plan in making this

IN buying cushions one must be gov.

For the Drawing Room.

Another material much used for
drawing room cushions is India bro
cade. Owing to the fineness OF its
tapestry-like design cushions Of it are
often smaller than velvet cushions
and are oblong in shape.
An India brocade with gold back
ground and a design in red, pink and
green is made up with border OF
bIue-green French velvet, wider on
one side than on the other. The
covers of the two sides of the cushion
are of differently designed brocade,
and this fact. along with the varying
width of the two borders, makes the
cushion serve the purpose of two
cushions.

the United States to know that the
British would profit most by the use
