SIMPLE AND QUICKLY MADE
AppIiqued Patch Embroidery Recon-.
mended as Excellent Occupation
for the Hours of Leisure.

Simple work for busy hands seems
to be in demand just at present. An
pliqued patch embroidery is simple
and is made quickly.
To make center pieces, cushion tops,
scarfs. tides or chair backs, clothes
bags, ETC., plain linen or silk is need
ed, preferably linen.
Circles of applique are cut from
cretOnne. The design should be a
large single flower or small spray in
order to cut three-inch circles. The
circles are basted to the cloth and
stitched on by machine close to the
edge. Chain stitch around each circle
with coarse thread. then run through
with a white thread in what is called
the blanket stitch. or whip 1t straight
along the last row of stitches, catch
ing it over and over. The white rolls
in with the black and is very pretty.
A scroll is drawn in by cutting out a
figure which looks well and then trac-
ing it off on the cloth.
In center piece six medalsiOns are
used, three in a pillow, three in each
end of a scarf and three in u chair
back. To finish the edge, outline 1t
as the medallions were outlined. Dots
which are often placed in the center
of the scroll work are made of black

gan to figure out how the income of the road could
be increased. About the same time the directors
of a film company were looking around to IND q
railroad that would be willing to stage wrecks
and other thrills which necessitated the smashing
up of engines, cars, automobiles and other prop
erty
Mr. Stryker told the directors of the film COM
pany that he could supply their wants. He ex-
planned that his road ideally situated to stage
such horrors there were plenty of curves in the
roadbed and enough high entertainments and steep
mountain sides to furnish the proper scenic back
ground. Likewise, he could readily furnish the
cars and engines and what was equally necessary,
the engine drivers and trainmen with the intelli-
gence and technical skill to handle just such work.
Mr.. Stryker received commission to stage a
wreck, and ever since the Wharton and Northern
road has engaged In the peculiar business OF pro-
ducing wrecks and smash-ups to order.
The staging of a collision or accident is big
undertaking, and it requires some time to arrange
all the details. The director of the film company
first goes over the road until he finds the point at
which the background, scenery and other physical
features conform to his idea Of the proper setting
of the scenario This may call for a high embank-
ment trestle or 1t may be necessary to have
a river below, so when the cars jump the track
they will pile up end in the stream, or it may
be that smash-up in which the cars roll down an
embankment and catch fire is wanted.
After the director of the film company decides
what kind of a smash-up he wants and where he
wants 1t to take place, Mr. Stryker sets about to
procure the engine, cars and other accessories.
On one occasion the director of one film COM
pany desired to picture forest fire in a section
of the country traversed by railroad. in order
to show rescue scene in which people residing
in the burning area would be saved by the quick
action and heroism of train crew. Along the
right of way of the Wharton and Northern q
strip of country about half a mile in length and
extending back about quarter of mile from
each side of the track. 1t was covered by a con-
siderable growth of underbrush, scrub trees and
other infammabe material which for long time
had been a menace not only to property belonging
the railroad but to the surrounding timber lands
and dwellings After the property owners had
given their permission and fire patrol to guard
against spread Of the fire had been established,
the film company placed its cameras and got the
desired picture of train rushing through a for
est fire, making the rescues.-New York Herald.

consists of a thin plate just as long the small

From these two tests, that of the plane and

New York.-Unless something more
drastic happens in Paris than has hap
pened so far, the woman who wants
to Turkish up her gowns Of last autumn
and even last spring and continue to
wear them may do so without criticism.
This does not mean that France has
not shown to the American buyers an
amazing collection Of new clothes. She
has featured the afternoon gown above
the morning and evening ones. and she
has not originated anything new in
sports clothes except In the house of
Chanel, where certain new touches
have been brought out that will I'M
doubtedly catch the public here.
The silhouette is still straight and
slim. The directoire, as was predict
ed, is creeping In. The high empire
waistline has several advocates among
the lesser houses in France.
The skirts. shown in the last two
weeks have been a trifle longer than
usual, there has been more fiat plating
than punched drapery and the use Of
expensive and ornate embroidery on
chiffon continues.
Much-Discussed Barrel Skirt.
OF course, we are still talking from
rumor from cables and from the let
tiers Of those who are entrusted with
the mission OF giving us advance
information according to their best
belief. But from all these sources
one gathers that novelty was CEN
tered in the barrel skirt and that the
American buyers are not looking
upon 1t with much favor. This does
not mean that the barrel skirt will
fail to be a famous creature of fash
ions In America. 1t is too early to
tell what will become Of 1t. The ex-
elusive dressmakers and shops, you
know, do not like to bring over in
March what the manufacturers Of in
expensive, ready-to-wear clothing have
exploited in January. Suits with
barrel skirts are now selling for $50,
and the man who has to pay $500 for
such a suit In Paris, plus 60 per cent
duty, may not even take a gambling
chance at its success over here.
All information points to the fact
that belts will relieve the sandwich
effect of pure medievalism. These belts
are put above or at the waistline, but
rarely below. The girdled hips are
not to be featured. Belts do not con
fine the normal waistline; they merely
suggest it in a riot of color, embroidery
and tinsel.
