The fashionable touch of color on en-
broideries and laces is effectively applied
by painting. and IL is as easy to paint on
lace as on paper IL executed as follows:
First stretch the lace on soft pad or
smooth table or board, and secure II in
place with pins. 1t is well when working
TO rest the board on an artists easel
Get the desired tubes of water colors.
To make a gum water with which to
dilute the paints and prevent them from
spreading, put one-hah an ounce of gum
arabic in a pint of tepid water. with
teaspoofful of sugar, shake occasionally
until it is dissolved, then pour teaspoon
full in as many shallow saucers as there
are colors, and from the tubes squeeze
trifie Of the shade required, mix 1t well,
and If a very light color is wanted add
little Chinese white to obtain the right
hue and consistency.
A bottle of artists gum water would
save the trouble Of making 1t at home.
The work is very effective when done
on biouses, dresses, scarfs, collars, cuffs,
handbags, millinery motifs, cushion COW
ers, bands and appliques for curtains and
bedspreads.
Copies Of old and priceless byzantine
and Roman laces with their scroll-like
designs may have their threads tinted In
blue, pink, green and the new shades.
Just a touch Of this lace Is needed,
since it is rich when touched up with
color.

An Easy Way to Paint on Lace

Irish lace medallions may be crocheted
| together in pretty designs for gowns.
They are square or round. and Is both
coarse and fine thread. Practically all
laces of set pattern can be apliqued to
net and SO become excellent shirt waist
or lingerie dress trimmings.
Any of the thin laces. such as valen-
clennes and shadow, can be painted in
several dainty tints, thus bringing out the
pattern effectively.
There laces can be bought in double as
well as single width. and ii is cheaper to
purchase the double width, as il costs a
trifie more yard than the single width.
Three stock collars can easily be cut
from an eighth of yard of the double
width lace. and a quarter of a yard will
make undersleeves to the elbow, a small
yoke and a stock collar.
Always sew lace with fine thread, and
never with silk, for the silk stitches are
very noticeable. This is true no matter
how coarse the lace. Silk will not sink
into fabric as cotton will
Many laces are made with a straight
thread at the top. by which the lace may
be drawn to make a ruffle, but If your
lace is without this thread and you are
Obliged to gather 1t by hand, use fine
thread and whip the edge.
Do not make a running line of gathers.
Whip the lace to the material at every
stitch, then, il necessary, withdraw the
gathering string.
