To begin the lace work, start on one
wing; first of all buttonhole two
stitches into the buttonholing done,
take very firm hold. Then, work
ing from left to right, make two more
buttonhole stitches; now work from
right to left, make two buttonhole
stitches into the thread connecting
the stitch groups, but only sew into
the material itself at the end of the
row.
Each row can increase or decrease,
according to the shape to be filled in,
but the material must not be sewed
into except as stated.
The last row of the shape is worked
into the buttonhole round material
like the first row
This lacework is a surface from
under which the material can be cut
away, and the pattern looks like lace

Some of the holes should be worked
over and over TO represent the spots
on the butterf1y's wings.
The necessity for buttonholing
round the shape will now be seen; it
keeps the pattern firm. The material
underneath the lacework must be cut
away most carefully so that the out
line is not cut into.
The embroidery can be worked on
linen, damask, lawn, silk, ETC., it is
very strong and washes beautifully
The idea need not be limited to

Various motifs can be worked in

ticularly well is a butterfly, which can
be had on transfers, in various posi-

just a butterfly placed in one corner
of the article is sufficient decoration,

The bloomer Of today has apparent

want. 1t is a convenient, comfortable
garment, that takes up little room in

bulk in the wearing. For outdoor
sports of all kinds, from mere walking
20 mountain climbing, it is ideal For
evening wear it is equally ideal. II
is an all-day garment that women are
wearing more and more.
To begin with, there are the Italian

These wear well and are very easily
Numbered. They are not expensive
when these considerations are noted.
1t is quite possible, however, to make
boomers for 40 or 80 cents pair that
are dainty and durable and as easy to
launder as the silk ones These are
made of thin cotton crepe-the sort
sold for underwear, not for frocks
This costs from Is to % cents a yard,
and two yards is enough for pair of
boomers Of medium size. Anybody
short needs only yard and three
quarters. 1t comes in pink, blue and
lavender.
These boomers are very easy to
make. They need no buttonholes or
buttons, and there are no packets,
which are always bothersome in the
making. There is an elastic in each
knee and another at the belt. SO that
the boomers slip into place and stay
in place when they are put on. A
yard and half or two yards of cotton
elastic is needed.
