i There are two waya of doing the

and then to come back and make the
croaa llnea. alao parallel; the aecond, to"
.make eaoh little croaa aeparately, male-,
lng a diagonal eUtch to bring the needle
out In poaltlon to croaa. Perhaps the aec
ond method Ii better for the beginner,
for It la leaa confusing, and enablea one
to aee the work grow, so aa to guld
ythe next atltch. In general. It la bet-
ter to do all the work of aacb color
aeparately, beginning with the one to
be moat uaed , and continuing to tbo
little touchea. ' '-:

lng more than a faint anggeation. Of
course, the work can be done In all

that tho towels will bo the last-completing

Of course, It Is not wwele nly that
.are so embroidered, . I will wager
that bjr tho time you havo-done a
few of them you will want ft whole
set to match,' and will find yourself
working trayclotba' and dciUea and
tablecovera. It is tho kind of work
that you can take up at idle mo

undsryour hands, ao that .you never,
have time to get discouraged, as Is
the csio wlthrsome kinda of em

quality and atart work, at onao.
Marking: Laundry
THB best way to mark clothes for
the laundry, unleaa you want to
, have your name embroidered on
tape for. tho purpose, is to starch and
Iron a long atrip of white tape and then
k write your heme at Intervals along it
in Indelible Ink or pencil. Then you can
' cut off each section as you want It and
eew It on the clothing or household
linen. When the piece wears out. re
move the tape and uae It again..,
THREE WAYS TO
TRANSFER
HEKE aro guggltloni for
transferring the ? pattern
: ' bef org you to any mate
rial before working.
Perhaps the easiest way U the
"window-pane" method, i This is
successful when the material is
thin, like linen, batiste, etc Pitt
the sheet of paper and roe, mate
rial together and hold . them ud
I acalnst the glass of a window.'
iWiui a nnarp peiicu uraw vu u
material the design, which can be
easily seen through the goods.
If one-half of the design only be
given, unpin the paper and turn,
the other side to the fabric. ) The,
strong light behind will make it
plain, . '
If you hare carbon paper,' you
should ' place the sheet , between
sur fabric and the newspaper,
his latter Is on top. . With a
Sharp pencil go over the outline
of the design, v: The Impression
will be left in fine lines and will
last until worked. This method is
successful on heavy material.
The last way is also easjj. ;0n
wax q paper ! or ordinary tissue
paper trace .'the pattern .before
you. When ' the design is com
pleted, turn over the-paper and
outline the pattern with a heavy
lead pencil. Then place the de
sign down on the fabric and re
draw the outline pressing hard
with the pencil. The pattern will -be
transferred without difficulty. ;
i -Surely the way is easy, v T r.
