How to Maks Banners and Streamer! For Christmas Festival. There Is generally a demand nt Christmas time for banners nud tings for decorative purposes, as they can be very effectively Introduced among the holly, mistletoe and evergreens In the hall, ballroom and dining room, while for school treats, pnrlsh teas, etc., they are quite indispensable. These can be Inexpensively made at home, as no great skill Is required. Bunting will stand rough wear and Is cheap, but other materials may be employed, such as alpaca, cloth, serge, Bilk, woolen rep and cotton velvet. In a hall either silk or alpaca would bo suitable, In a ballroom silk, In a din ing room velvet or silk or, for a school feast, cloth or woolen rep. The letters can be embroidered upon tho flag, but applique designs are more effective and need very much less work. If embroidered the ordinary crewel stitch should not be used, as the effect Is too flat and not sufficient ly bold. The basket and straight stitch es and the French knot are much the best for either mottoes or devices, and all kinds of thread may be used, ac cording to the qunllty of the ground work. Gold and silver thread, tapes try and other wools may be utilized. Having decided upon the size of the flag, cut the material to fit, lay It upon a large table and arrange the In scription, pinning each letter or orna ment Into position and carefully meas uring the spaces to Insure regularity. In cutting out letters enormous size Is not altogether necessary for legi bility. Much more defends upon sim plicity of form and In the grouping of the letters of each word closely to gether and allowing a reasonable dis tance between the words themselves. When the motto or Inscription Is ar ranged tack It firmly In place and note the effect, before sewing It; then close ly buttonhole the letters all around the edge, fixing them to the material. Should the device be required on both sides maku the material double, sew lng tho letters on each side separately before Joining tho two pieces togetlmr. Tho flag may be oblong or triangular, or the oblong may have the lower edge vaudyked and finished with braid, silk fringe or cord. If fringe, then a silk tassel at each comer Is a nice finish, and this, as well as tho cord by which It Is suspended, should match In color. To prevent the banner being too limp a cord should be run through the hem around the edge to wllghtly stiffen t, and It is then fastened to tho pole by strong cords fixed to the crossbar. On tho top of tho banner a number of small curtain rings must be neatly sowed, or, perhaps better still, loops of cord, and these aro slipped over tho crassbar, or In tho case of a flag I hey oro put upon tho side and then slipped upon the polo Itself. Tho polo Is gen erally painted or stained, and tho head Is of turned wood, frequently gilded. When monograms, crests and coats of arms aro to bo worked a gold cloth cut out and worked upon a material of a rich subdued coloring Is particularly handsome, or those who aro cluvor with a paint brush can paint tho de vice in oils.
