. VAINT, old-fashioned embroidery
the rage nowadays, not only
for fancy articles, hut for dress
trimmings as well. . '
Over in Paris, the great designers of
women's apparel are using all sorts of
curious old designs In wool, silk and
linen embroidery to trim their master
pieces. Floral designs worked with vnI on
canvae is the newest conceit that has
caught the fancy of the French mo
dlst. This Is not at all difficult te do,
and can easily be copied by any one
who -can use a needle and Is clever with
color combinations.
Or the canvas can be boujst already
tamped in colors ready to be worked.
These coma In collar and cuff sets, vest
patterns, bands. and revere that add a
inoat attractive touoh to a somber
gown, especially If the embroidery be
done in bright colore.
. lo,o sey woven canvas Is used for the
work, which la done with fine tapestry
wools in the tent atltch.
This, unlike the cross-etltch, Is elmply
two stitches taken aide by side and very
close together. , Let the stitches follow
the design exactly, and me only soft
colors, those that blend In well with ihe
material used In tha making of the cos
tume. ; x
If silk or linen be used, be aura to
get the very coarse thread: if this is not
possible, use saveral strands of floes.
Embroidery, on canvaa makea splendid
covers for tables, bureaus and stands.
Edging bsnda for curtains are roads of
it and cushion covers . have corners
worked la this way.

HE you thinking of a gift for
baby? Then why net combine
beauty and usefulness and make
the gift yourself T
If the little one needs a cap, purchase
half a yard of handkerchief linen and
make a perfectly plain cap for whlcn
you can buy the pattern at any depart-'
merit store. Then on a strip of the "
linen fourteen Inches long and five Inches
wide, stamp and embroider a dainty
design in mercerised linen thread. One
of the most attractive patterns shows
three circles of t-lny daisies, In the center
of which Is. inset a medallion Of Irish
( lace,- and the circular part of tha cap
at the back Is embroidered and Inset In
the same manner, t The embroidered ':
strip is edged all around with narrow
Irish edging and Is set on over the front
of the plain cap that. has been edged
about with lace. This forms a double
row of lace in the front, making an at
tractive frame for the little face.
A spray of tiny ribbon rosebuds may
further ornament the top of the cap It
you wish. The linen cap, of course, is
worn over a padded silk lining. It you
make this lining yourself, sprinkle a',
little Violet sachet powdsr between the
silk' and. Interlining. ..,-,
I saw a very pretty cap designed for
. cold weather. It was of whits fur, made
perfectly plain over a pale pink lin
ing, the only trimming .being a cluster
Of, ribbon roses and tiny green satin
leaves placed directly "on top and well
to 'the front. A frill of lace was iaset -'
between the fur, and the' lining.

GIFTS FOR THE BABY
Three Ways to Transfer
HERB; are suggestions for trans
ferring the pattern ' before you .
to any material before working.
Perhaps tha eaaleat way Is the "window-pane"
method. This Is eoocessfut
when the material Is thin, like linen,
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold then up
against the glass of a window, . With a
sharp pencil draw on the material
the design, which can be easily seen
through the good. If one-half of the
design only be, given, unpin the paper
and turn the other side to the fabliau
The strong light behind will make U

place. the cheat between' your fabrla
and the newspaper This latter If oa
top. with a sharp pencil go over the
outline of the design. The impression
will be left in fine Unas and wilt last
. until worked. This method la success
ful on heavy material. ;
. The last way is also easy. On we
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace
the pattern before you. When the 3a
aign is completed, turn over the papr
and outline the pattern with a heavy
lead pencil. Then place tho design
down on tha fabric and redraw the out
line, pressing hard with the pencil. The
pattern will

Surely, the way is easy.
Negligee Collars
F YOU have sons who wear the sofj
