A new and easy style of needle
work that is well adapted to EN-
broidery on frocks. hats and acces-
sorieS is now to be found in Paris
wardrobes. 1t is a combination of
slanting lines and gold thread out
lining. The lines are not close to-
gether, but parallel, showing the
fabric between the rows. The out
lining is not done in the regulation
outline stitch, but is a series of run
ming stitches with long upper stitches
on the right side, and extremely
short stitches on the under. or wrong
side. The effect is decidedly smart.

My Neighbor Says:

Instead of peeling potatoes
for boiling, cut a narrow strip
entirely around the center of
each. When they are cooked it
will be found that the skins
will slip off without any trouble
at all.
Use silk thread when basting
on silk, velvet or cloth. 1t will
not leave an impression under
the iron. Cotton thread does.
Tea should never be allowed
to remain in the pot in which
it has been made. AS soon as
the three or four minutes al
lowed for drawing have elapsed,
it should be poured off into a
fresh teapot. previously warmed
and placed by the side of the
fire.
Scrubbing brushes should al
ways be hung up when not in
use. Then the water will drain
from them. the glue which
holds the bristles in place will
have a chance to dry. and the
bristles themselves will keep
nice and stiff.
Large glass beads, like those
used in kindergartens, put with
stones in bulb dishes and gold
fish bowls make them very at

To turn out a nodded jelly,
make a pint Of jelly in the

For a Clear Skin.

To have a really clear, healthy skin
you must have pure blood and a
properly functioning system. You
must have properly nourished blood
too: if you are enaemic-which is
another way of saying that the body
is not functioning as it should-you
will have a pasty, gray or even
pimply skin.
Perhaps the simplest way of cor
recting a bad skin. is to drink six
glasses of water every day. between
meals. This f1ushes out the body,
particularly the kidneys and liver,
which often causes a bad COM
plexiOn. If you see dancing black
spots before your eyes occasionally,
it may he eye trouble. but it may also
be upset liver or kidneys. In any
case the water cure" is harmless,
cheap. easy; it is bound to do some
good. it may do a great deal. 1t may
