VARIETY IN TOWEL TRIMMING
Elaboration Is the Order of the Day,
and the Tendency Is TO Go
to Extremes.

The ends of the newest embroidered
towels are surely trying to emulate
the latest of dress fashions, for they
are showing every variety of scallops.
Where one was once content to hem
stitch the ends of a buck towel and
place simple embroidered letter in
the middle of one end, to be strictly
up to date one must now slash the
toweling into some new cut of scallop-
ing. There are square scallops. pointed
ones. wide and shallow and deep
rounded scallops, and scallops within
scallops. And they are embroidered
In colors. often with finish of Sec
ond buttonholing of another color or
crocheted picot edge. Filet crochet
inserts are quite the thing now for
towel ends; sometimes one sees piece
of filet insertion with three initials
of the intended owner crocheted in the
mesh. Cutwork initials or solid in
it1als with an oval background of
cutwork are very effective, and are
not difficult when one considers the
results obtained. The plain woven
ends of turkish towels are now being
embroidered, most often with a flow
cred border of darned work or French
knots

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Don't wear white-topped boots IL
your ankles are large.
The eyes, teeth and throat should
be examined occasionally. especially
when they are sensitive, as diseases
of these are peculiarly related to the
depression of the whole body and az
feet the temperament as well.
Nothing beauties the skin more
than massage. The fiabby muscles are
built up and frightened, wrinkles take
flight. the texture becomes refined, OF
satinlike beauty and a delicious hue
creeps into the skin, due to improved
circulation.
A mixture to spread upon the face
at night, which is said to whiten it
and also prevent wrinkles. is made by
beating the white of an egg to froth
and adding a few drops Of tincture of
benzo1n, and a grain of alum dis
solved in a little elderf1ower water.
After long standing or walking you
will find great relief for your swollen
and hot feet by bathing them in water
in which has been dissolved an ounce
of alum. two ounces of rocl salt and
two ounces of borax- Massaging with

Do not select plants that have
for it is against nature to expect them
to keep 1t up during the winter. Above
ALL after deciding which plants shall
be potted for the winter display, keep
all the buds pinched out. Do not let
a single blossom develop until The
plants are established in their winter
quarters.
Do not leave plants in their beds
until forced by cold weather to take
them in. Plan to pot them while the
weather will permit having the house
open, making the change a gradual
one, for plants lifted and taken at
once into closed, fre-heated rooms
must show the effects of the treatment
and will need weeks and weeks in
which to regain their beauty.
Another thing to be considered is
this: Plants grpwing in the open
ground make a root-growth that very
oftaA goes far beyond thu limits of
an ordinary pot or tub. To crowd these
roots into a pot too small for them
is to bruise item and cause decay.
The better way, by far, is to cut down
all around the plants with a sharp
knife or spade, ten days or two weeks
before the plants are to be potted.
5 The sharp, clean cut heals quickly,
and if the soil is well watered (soaked)
before attempting to lift the plant,
one gets a complete ball of sound
roots, well-covered with soil that goes
into winter quarters with very little
evidence of having been disturbed.
Each of these plants taken sepa-
rately will seem like little thing, but
each has a decided bearing on the
beauty of the midwinter floral display,
and for that reason each is, in reality,
an important point

EVER TRY A LILY BED?
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

Choose well-drained spot for them,
and if possible, where the flowers will
have a background of evergreens,
shrubs or screen Of living green to
show off their pale beauty. A back
ground of climbing plants is also good.
Dig the bed two feet and throw into
the excavation, rubbish, tin caus, old
shoes, rocks, brickbats, and the like,
insuring drainage, as the lily cannot
stand wet feet.
Enrich the soil with manure from
the COW stable, worked we'll into the
soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant
the bulbs to II inches deep, accord
ing to their size, In pocket of sand.
Just before cold weather sets in,
cover the bed with litter and leaves,
being sure that the winter storms will
not uncover the bed.

Stenciling is threatening to rival
hand embroidery, particularly for run

one grows proficient in the art (Which
is really very easy) quite elaborate
pieces can be attempted. A new de-
sign, very striking, and easy or some
what difficult, as you prefer, Is one
that incorporates birds. These birds
may be all in one color, as, for In
stance, delft blue, or the birds may be
brilliantly plumaged, each bird dis

instance, the foliage accompanying the
bird would also be in natural colors.
