Nl fancy work is the adapting to
A-9J modern uses of the quaint,
! geometrical designs In applied
/ colored cottonS which appeared in the
bed quilts OF century ago.
| Pillow tops, table covers, curtains,
! lamp and candle shades and insets for
! trays and baskets are all available for
| this style Of decoration.
The work when used in this way re-
quires no quilting, the designs being
cut from the colored cottons and felled
/ with tiny stitches to the foundation
| material.
The use of an embroidery hoop in
sures better results. but much of the
work is held in the hand like any 9TH
Ter ordinary piece of sewing
Snowy floral designs are the favor
ite choice for this work. partly because
of the beauty of the colorings and
| partly because II is possible to gain
/ good effects with conventionalized
| flowers.
Tulips, morning glories. wild roses
! and hollyhocks are particularly we'll
| suited to reproduction in this applique
| fashion and ferns and leaves are eff
! fective. carried out in several shades
OF green. Bunches of grapes, cherries
and plums are also good, cottons of the
correct color being chosen to carry
out the natural effect.
| Wallpaper designs and handsome
cretonnes give many appropriate pat
! terms for this style of work and also
| desirable color schemes.
! Each bit of the design must be cut
out. with narrow margin allowed for
| turning in. The best way is to cut a
| cardboard pattern of the flowers and
! leaves required. This is then laid on
the colored material and the outline
marked with lead pencil.
| BY cutting a little beyond the line.
! there will be sufficient to turn under
| and baste. The design is then caught
! lightly to the foundation end, when ar
ranged to the best advantage, is felled
neatly. the stitches being not only
small but of such a slant as to be al
most hidden under the edge of the
applied design.
French chambrays come in lovely
/ shadings for this work as their two
| toned effect gives a natural coloring
when used for flowers and foliage.
An oval design of morning glories
! TO be inset under glass for a break
| fast tray shows the blossoms in pale
pink. blue and lavender with the leaves
/ in several shades Of green.
! A wreath. OF ivy leaves was the de-
sign chosen for the inset CT circular
/ basket of dull green wicker.
The ivy leaf is one of the best out
! lines for the beginner, as there are no
| sharp corners TO turn and by choosing
dark green for the large leaves and
! pale green for the small ones variety
| of coloring can be gained without the
! introduction OF flowers or lruit.
J The background in all cases should
| be firmly woven linen crash resem-
bling the old fashioned homespun on
which this work was originally done.
! A pair of portieres was recently ex-
hibited showing a dignified row Of hol-
I lyhocks rising from the lower edge OF
( the crash curtains to height of over
a half yard The stems were half inch
strips of dull green chambray and the
blossoms and buds varied in shadinGs
/ from pale pink TO dull red.

If the curtains become : little dry

net is protected from being torn.

do not pull them, but lift the edges
carefully from each adjustable pin so
that they will not ruffe.
Sometimes the border. or lace insert.
needs pressing. If so, first dampen it,
then cover with a cloth and iron on
the wrong side.
Always mend the small holes in
your lace curtain before i is washed
If a curtain has large holes they
should be mended after the curtain
has been washed and dried on the
stretcher. Trim the edges of the hole
to be patched Take piece of old
lace curtain. or a section from the
one you are patching, cold-starch the
patch and press it over the hole with
hot iron.
Perhaps the curtain has at some
time brushed against a newly painted
window sill.
These paint stains can be removed
with turpentine if they are fresh. In
case they are old. turpentine and
chloroform can be used, and the stain
blotted out with piece of blotting
paper.

/" HE secret of making good Ice
III cream lies just as much in the
u freezing as in the assembling
of pure materials" according
to an instructor in ice cream making.
For one gallon of ice cream he ad-
vises the use of three quarts of me-
dium rich cream, one pound of sugar
and little vanilla or other good fla
voring other ingredients are not
necessary, although often added ac-
cording to taste.
Put the mixture into the freezer, add
the ice and salt in the proportion of
one part of coarse salt to five parts
of finely crushed ice.
Then turn the handle slowly for
about five minutes in order that the
cream may become perfectly cold.
Then turn the crank as fast as possi-
BILE. In five more minutes the cream
will be about the consistency OF thick
gravy.
When it Is in this semi-frozen con-
dition the dasher should be taken out
and the ice cream hardened by drain
ing the freezer and repacking with
fresh salt and ice.
A wet pack placed over the freezer
to exclude the air will hasten the
hardening.
In an hour the ice cream should be
we'll hardened and it will be perfectly
smooth, while if the crank is turned
until the mixture is hard the ice cream
will be coarse and buttery.
If desired, crushed fruit. sugared to
taste. nuts, cake crumbs or other del
icacy may be mixed into the ice cream
with a spoon after the freezer is
stopped and then set away to harden.
Buttermilk and skim milk may be
made into cheap, delicious sherbets by
utilizing the ordinary cream freezer.
A good formula is three quarts of
buttermilk or skim milk, one to two
pounds of sugar, one-half pint OF
orange or grape Juice, or one-fourth
pint of lemon juice. Freeze according
to the foregoing directions, and when
nearly done add the fruit juice. Finish
freezing and set aside to harden as be-
fore.
1t requires a much colder tempera-
turc TO freeze such mixture than in
the case of pure ice cream.
Three quarts of water and the
whites of six eggs may be substituted
for the milk.
A water Ice may be made as follows:
Two quarts of fruit juice. one Quart
of water, one ounce of gelatin, sweeten
to taste. Freeze into nearly solid con-
dillon and serve at once.

The season for killing fur-bearing
animals in this state has closed and
hunters, trappers and dealers disposed
of the furs taken legally during the
open season. The animals cannot be
captured, killed or sold, or their pelts
sold, until the next open season,
which will be November 1. The Fox
Hunters Association, which secured
the passage of the law protecting
fur bearing animals, will assist in
seeing that the law is obeyed. There
are 5000 members of that association
in this state and each member is
pledged to see that the law Is enforc-
ed. The deputy game and fish COM
missioner will be glad to receive in
formation from any person who
knows of the violation Of the law.
His address is Jefferson City. The
only open season now is for rabbits
and licenses are required for hunting
them.
