cases, dresser scarfs and towels,
and if you would like to have
a scalloped edge you will find
some very attractive ones else
where in the Wonder Pack
age.
There is little to worry about
in the transferring of these
designs for all that is neceS-
sry is to soak the back of the
pattern with &. little water and
then rub lightly with a spoon.
Necessity In Home
Because each pattern may
be transferred 10 or IL times,
you will find that there are
several thousand designs in
each package, although there
are only said to be lover 800
different ones" It is impossi-
bic to understand how any,
one who wishes her home or
clothes to look in the best
taste could get along without
one Of these Wonder Packages,
for they are so inexpensive and
give such good service that
they soon pay for themselves
in the way in which theY
solve the problems of deco
rating and sewing in the home.
If you would like to have
this Wonder Package mailed
to you the price is 81, but II
you prefer to call for it the
price is only 88 cents. It may
be called for at The Times
office.

Almost any kind Of a stitch
you ever heard of may be used
for the designs in the accom-
panying illustration-eyelet en-
broidery, satin stitch, button
holing, etc.
This is just one more, half
sheet from The Times Wonder
Package, but of course very
much smaller, for as you know,
the sheets each measure "a
by SO inches and there are IL
in all with over 800 designs.
The spray running diagon'
ally below the graceful bow
knot would be ideal for the
end Of a towel. The bow-knot
is just the thing for the top
Of a pillow or towel. This
may be etched in colored floss,
the edges being finished with
French knots to represent
loop finish.
In the upper left is a very
attractive design for eyelet en-
broidery. For one who has the
patience for this type Of work
a pair of pillow cases or
towels could be easily and
quickly made.
Just imagine the spray of
shaggy roses in the center of
illustration, shaded from a dark
center to a delicate edge in
tints of rose, using only one
or two strands.
Most of these designs are
very appropriate for pillow

THE punishment which film players
l. have to take at times during the
performance of some of their roles is
seldom known to the public and never
appreciated. Charles Bickford labors
at present with body that is black
and blue with bruises and voice that
Is reduced to a husky whisper-and
yet the general belief is that film
actors life is a bed of roses.
The punishment came as result OF
the role Bickford played in Cecil B. De-
Miles current Paramount picture,
This Day and Age" AS racketeer,
he is kidnapped by hundreds of school
boys who bind and gag him with ad-
tied under his armpits into a pit full of
rats until he confesses to murder.
Dangling in the pit with the rope
around his chest, Bickford's lungs were
CONSTRUCTED. Despite the handicap. the
script required that many of his lines
be shouted. This went on for hours
at a time It meant strain on the
vocal cords and throat muscles. The
result was an almost total loss Of
voice and a rasping whisper which
came in handy for few subsequent
scenes, but which put the actor out OF
the running for a while until he could
be doctored to resume his work In the
picture.
Besides this, the chaf1ng Of the rope
and the manhandling by mob Of sew
eral hundred boys has necessitated the
nightly and liberal use Of arnica, iodine
and mercurochrome.
II don't mind such thing if they
help make a good picture" Bickford
saws, but when I go through agony
only to have the scenes cut-then it
hurts"
