! rest of the stocking from getting un-
der the needle without a contriVance
of some sort to stop it.
Darnins by Machine.
To darn stockings, wind the bobbin
with the usual darning cotton, mer-
celized, silk or wool, and thread the
machine with cotton to match. Ar
range the place to be darned so that
II comes as nearly as possible in the
center of the ring. Leave the presser
foot up. run the ring under 1t and
start the machine. Keep the ring
moving from one side to the other
while stitching, for the presser foot
will not do this, as it Is up. Make
the lines of stitching straight with
the weave, of the stocking threads.
Finish them in one direction before
starting to stitch across them AL
ways move the work one stitch TO-
ward the right or left according to
starting another row OF stitching, so
that the lines are kept straight
Otherwise the stitching would come
to point whenever the change In
direction was made. This sort OF
darning is admirable for children

large and the mending OF them tedi-
Gus.
Towels, sheets. Etc.
Darning holes in towels and other
cloth takes but few moments, ana,
as said before, no ring Is actualiy
needed The work must be held very
straight, even and taut, so that II
will not pucker. If held loose, it is
sure to pucker. for the machine
stitching is only as even as the move
ment of the hands in gently pusnlnS
il one way or the other. Do not ex-
meet to make the stitches themselves
even. This is not at all necessary
What is important is to keep the lines
of stitching fairly even. A little prac-
tice will perfect this. the oarhs III
Turkish towels and in rough weaves

Fine Thread for Napcry.
When darning holes in tablecloths
use very fine thread for bobbin and
needle, and mend carefully, so that
the stitches are lost as much as pos
sible in the design of the cloth. Rents
in sheets and pillowcases can be
mended satisfactorily by machlne
Do not expect the darning to be as
invisible as fine or as soft as II done
bv hand 1t is recommended for It's
time-sa wing value rather than for
any beauty or other merit. However
there are hundreds of instances where
machine mending is all that an ar
ticle warrants.
When il comes to mending lace OF
a rather coarse or heavy sort, ma
chine darning is just the thing. The
lines of the lace can be followed ad-
mirabIy with the stitching, the de-
sign can be filled in while the meshes
can be left. In this lace mending not
only is time saved but results are
often quite as good as when the work
is done by hand.

cent little cloches held high up above

Farmer Browns boy climbed a stout
