Embroidered snow crystals on coIored linen.

a LETTER comes telling the
= story of mats a clever girl
designed for her dressing table.
The problem was to make them to
fit spaces of unusual size. Her
room color scheme was blue and
white and a design of white en-
broidered snow crystals on cool
blue linen was what she wanted.
Here is the way she achieved a
charming result.
The linen was cut the desired
size and narrow hens creased
with a warm iron. The hens were
then backstitched in white from
the right side with three strands
of six-strand mercerized embroid-
cry cotton. She wanted the ar
rangement of the snow crystals to
be helter-skelter-just as they
would fall; so she took a hand
full of coins and tossed them onto
the linen. She drew around each
coin where it fell.
Still using three strands of the
white cotton she took four stitches
across the marked circle and then
brought the needle out in the GEN.
ter. as shown here in step 2, ready
to take a tiny stitch to bind the
long stitches together. The crys-
tails were embroidered over the
long stitches, the larger ones be-
ing more elaborate than the small
er as illustrated here. The stitch
used is shown in step 3. Ninety
other embroidery stitches are pic
tured in my Sewing Book No. 2.

ton to start knitting needles click

Here are a few general items in
regard to latest knitting trends. The
tendency this season is to knit en-
tire suits or ensembles, the ex-
quisite simplicity of which achieves
a smart tailored look. Interesting
skirts are ribbed around to simu-
late pleats. Wear gold jewelry with
your new black knit frock. Sweater
jackets are ''dolled up with silver
buttons of hand-wrought type. Knit

very popular, as for instance a cloth
jacket with knitted sleeves. Plaid
skirt with bright sweater is popular

New York City-a post card will do
and ask for the Reducing Bulletin.

Bananas are picked when they
are green and hard, and the car
bohydrate content is almost en-
tirely starch. AS they ripen, the
starch is converted into easily di-
gested sugars.
In fully ripened bananas-those
in which brown fiecks appear on
the yellow skins-the starch has
almost entirely disappeared and
the flavor has been developed to
it's highest point. The all-yellow
banana is also ripe enough for
eating and it is likewise firm
enough for cooking. Partially ripe
bananas-those which are yellow
with a green tip-may be cooked
and served as vegetable or as
dessert.
Considering their availability,
ease of digestion, high food value
and economy, bananas deserve to
be classed as one of the staple
foods in every well planned
dietary.

Many different decorative fabrics
such as matelasse crepe, embroid-

Valuable in Child's Diet

Bananas deserve a prominent
place in the child's diet from in
fancy to maturity. Some baby
specialists prescribe mashed and
strained ripe bananas as one of
the first solid foods to be intro
duced in the infants diet. The
ripe banana is considered to be
especially valuable at the time
when sugar is withdrawn from the
formula and the baby is given
whole milk for the first time. The
calories in the bananas take the
place of the calories previously
received from the sugar, and thus
weight gains are steadily main

Ideal for the Elderly

If elderly individuals are to
maintain top health, fruits should
be given a prominent place in
their diet. But many fruits are
avoided by individuals past mid
die age, either because their acid
taste is displeasing or because
they present difficulties in masti-
cation. Ripe bananas, however,
practically melt in the mouth. Be-
ing easily digested, they are a
fortunate choice for elderly per-
sons, providing necessary energy
values with a minimum of diges-
tive effort.
