SAFE IS LAGOON
FROM STORM FURY

The Gulf Beach Highway Com
mittee of the Rotary Club visited
the Lagoon in q. launch Wednesday to
ascertain the damage sustained in
the hurricane of last Wednesday and
found that there was very little trace
of the disturbance. One of the main
questions to be determined was
whether or not it would be feasible
to build road to the point selected
on the beach, and if permanent i'm
provements could withstand the dam
age of gulf storms.
It was decided that the proposed
hotel site, which is twelve feet above
normal high tide, did not seem to
have been reached by the storm.
The committee is actively engaged
upon plans which are expected to re-
suit in the early construction of the
road to the gulf beach.

Eyelet Embroidery.

A piece of embroidery in all eyelet
need not be monotonous, as there is
opportunity for variety, and the differ
ent motifs may be expressed in entirely
different ways.
Wedged-shaped eyelets will give char
acter to a pattern ana then a part OF
the design could be done in square eye
lets, which are unusual, in fact, the pos
sibilities of the rectangular eyelet for
decorative embroidery are rarely exploit
ed, says the Detroit Free Press. If rec
tangular eyelets are large, two or three
twisted bars, taken from side to side
viii not only hold them in place, but also
render them more effective.
The rectangular eyelets are cut in the
ordinary way, excepting that after the
eyelet is cut through the center and
crosswise, a slit is cut in each corner
The material is pushed underneath with
the needle and the eyelet is bound in the
usual way, with an over and over stitch.
