On Tuesday evening program was
rendered by members of the Arts & Crafts
Department in the Recital Hall, College
Building. There was fair attendance

the art Of embroidery and wood-staining.

Violin duet, by Mr.. Herbert Phil and
Don Kesler.
Talk on Embroidery by Miss Petrie.
Recitation by Miss Blanche Reynolds.
Talk on wood-staining by Mr.. Bryson.
Solo by Miss Ruth Kresge.
The talk on embroidery by Miss Petrie
showed a great deal Of careful prepare
ton She reviewed the history of en-
broidery making right from the Egyptians
to the present time. Before the Christian
Era she said embroidery was used for dec
orative purposes and in some cases they
even used jewels and the claws Of animals
WOrh0O Ill. COuIuS uOWu W GuG OuI1S-
tian Era she described many pieces Of
tapestry, one being THE Conquest Of Eng
land by William the Conqueror," in
which there were 1872 figures and rs
pictures. This work was supposed to have
been made in the year 1905 by Matilda,
the wife Of civilian the Conqueror." 1t
was discovered in the 18th century. Miss
Petrie also showed piece of fancy work
taken from her mothers wedding dress
now 70 years old. In church in Flor
ence, picture which took 26 years in
making, is still ON exhibition. The en-
broidery has background of gold
Nowadays" said Miss Petrie, en-
broidery is stamped on the fabric and it
does not require so much skill to do the
work" She spoke also of the beautiful
work done by the Chinese and the French.
If it were not for the splendid relics in
embroidery many records of historical
events would not have been preserved and
would have thus been lost to posterity.

Preserving Eggs

Preserving eggs in water glass has
become general practice and is meet
ing with perfect success wherever
tried provided it is properly carried
on. Remember that il you put In a
poor egg, you are going to take out a
poor one.
Eggs to be in water glass should
be fresh, sound and clean. They should
be gathered daily and preserved the
same day on which they are laid. In
fertile eggs are conducive to the best
success.
The method of preservation is as
follows: Take one quart of water
glass, which. can be secured at any
drug store at about s1.O0 per gallon,
and mix with ten quarts of water
that has been boiled and then cooled.
Stir thoroughly and place in a crock
cry vessel, never using galvanized or
tin vessels. Place in a cool, we'll ven-
tilated cellar, and add eggs as you
gather them from day to day, always
keeping the solution one inch above
the eggs. and keeping the crock COW
cred with lid of some kind to pre-
vent too much evaporation.
Eggs preserved in this manner will
keep perfectly for one year.
The water glass solution will not
injure the hands SO do not be afraid
to handle the eggs in the solution.
Do not use the solution more than one
year.
It l shard to tell water glass egg
from fresh egg, If the former is pro-
perly kept. But by considering the
price now and in winter, you can af-
ford to eat three water glass eggs next
winter where you could eat only one
fresh one, and still have some money
left. It will be found hard to boil
water glass eggs, but by puncturfne
the large end with a needle, to al.
low the air to escape, and allowing the
| water to come to a boil gradually, yor
will not experience much trouble.
