Traveling-Bag
Protectors
ONS cannot always carry a trar
ellnf bag, even when that bag
li on f especially . fine leather,
whloh one don't . wish scratched and
oarred, SO the time comes when, with
fears and mliglvings, we, consign the
bag to th tender mercies (or otherwise)
of the eipressmsn. But rejoice, ye sor
rowful travelersa. traveling-bag cover
bo tht reaouel
The cover should be made of a very
neavy senim er a darx ooior tnat wut
not show the loll. Cravenette Is even
betters for It II waterproof. If one does
not wish ta f 0 te the expense of buying
cravenatta, an old raincoat will oft
times answet the purpose. There are so'
many shapes and sizes in traveling bags
that it Is not always possible to buy a
paper pattern for a particular One.
However, tt is possible to cut one's own
pattern. We 'will take the regulation -suitcase
as an Illustration. Spread Out
a large Piece of paper on the table or
floor and place the suites upon it In
Ha natural position, that Is, the handle
on top. The bottom of the new cover
(ss yet only In Paper) will be covered
by the bottom Of the suitcase resting
upon it, so that we need not oonoern
ourselves about that. Now cut out the
paper St the four corners of the suit
case, s that the four slides of the paper
can be vent up around the case, and
cut the sides thus bent Che .. proper
length bf height to completely hide the
ease, wlthi te exception of one of the
eidea (not narrow ends), which side Is
to have an extra length of eighteen .
Inches. tTOoeed to pin the openings at
the corners of the eultcase togetherjo
that they will form four seatna. If the
paper eover fits the sultoaae snugly
(not tlghtlyK-unpIn it and lay It over
the matsrls) to be usfd for th eover
and proceed w cut around It as you
would any jnr pattern. Run th;
1 seams bp on the sewing machine and .
then bind With tape of a contrasting or
fiarmonialHR ealor. The row of stlton
Ing required for the tape binding will
refnforre the already stitched seams.
The elghteetfinrh ' flap that was left on
one a of ths sides la bound with the
tape, as Is etao the small oblong place
cut In the flap ta allow the handle to
come through. When the flap Is passed
over the handle It will come down for ,
a short lstno oh the other side of
h suitcase. The flab should 'be firmly
fastened at the edges with tapes
sewed oik for the purpose, or bette
tfttB, troflf metal olasps, -
How to Transfer S
HERB are suggestions for trans
f erring the pattern before you
to any material before working.
Perhaps ths easiest way Is ths "window-pens"
method. . This Is successful
when ths material1 Is thin, like linen,
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of ' paper
and the material together and bold
.them up against ths glass of a win
dtw. With a sharp pencil draw on ths
material ths design, which' can be easily
seen through the goods. If one-half of
the design only be given, unpin ths
paper and' turn the other side to ths
fabric.
If you have carbon paper, you should
place ths sheet between your fabrto and
the newspaper, Ths tatter Is a top.
With a sharp pencil go ovsr ths outline
of the design, Ths impression will be
left In Ana UAtsand will last until
' worked. .
A Crepe Nightdress
(OTTOif orepa gowns are jusV tha
i. thin? for a Journey. .They are
-' easily and quickly laundered and
take up less room In the trunk or
traveling; big, because one can do
With two of these where three or four
of the muslin ones would bs. required
because of ths necessity of waiting
. upon a laundress for their "doing- up."
Wben trimmed with torchon lace and
a small , spray ' of hand embroidery
worked across the front, they are at
tractive, as well, as practical a com
bination not to be despised. Brighten '

dons, taks the needle and thread and
whip ovsr tht stitches without paesine
through the feJbrio, oatohlng them to
gether Wjiere they overlap. Pull the
thread rather tightly, bringing all into
a twisted cord. You will always use
this wihen you have seen the raised
effect produced. Outline the veins in
single outHne stitch, and work ths
curled edges in eolld work to give con
trast NoW for (he berries. French knots,
Quits large, are the easiest and most
fffctiy" Stltohes. They grow with
piee-stSg rapidity under your needle.
Work ths Heaves In sblld stitch and All
In 'the a.tems with stem stitch, which
Is solid Stitch applied In a slanting
Una, packing In along the stem. .
Pad the scallop with cotton aoutaoh
which has been dipped tb water to
shrink It before using. Another meth
od Is ths use of strands of darning cot
ton, held along the crurves si you hold
oouohlng thread, with one hand, work
ing over it In buttonhole stitch with
the other.
The regular 'long padding stitch Of
darning cotton la' ah old reliable that
many of you will still follow. I am
giving you several ways from which
you oan ' choose. B
Do you think for one minute that If
o,
you do not wish a centerpiece, this fle
sign must go to waste? Not a bit of Itl
It Is a series of leaves and berry clut
ters, and the motifs can be separated
and applied In many ways. tne-he,lf of
the circle can be traced and applied on
one-half of ths front of a blouse, 'begin
ning quite far down and curving up
toward the shoulder line. Matuh ths
curve on the other side, and use single
motifs on the back and each sleeve.
A lingerie hat, with this ring In Its en.
tlroty, can be worked, or several motifs
can be spotted around the brim and on
the topof the hat.
WorkSags, fancy aprons, scarf run
ners and fancy cases can be decorated
with sprays of the blackberry leaves or
with half of the circle arranged In a'
garland.
A beautiful way to work the large
leaves li to make them of net, all-over
Valenciennes or shadow laca Baste a
piece over the design on the right side
Work the outline in a solid band, or but
tonhole along the edge, making the
stitches about one-eighth of an Inch
deep. Cut out the material underneath
and trirn. the lace close up to the em
broidery or buttonholing. A washing
and pressing will shrink the ederee en
tirely away. If you wish, you can out
line the nam lines on the laoe after you
have done this, or before civtMng away,
if you are careful not to pass the nee
dle through the linen. You will like the
effect, especially on S blouse. .
I shall leave you to your thoughts
now. Next week I have another offer
for your busy fingers.

little. ,uodl for children from 2 to 6
can be made over the simple kimono
pattern. The neck should be fairly
low and the efetves quite short. As
both neck and sleeves should be edged
with hand-embroidered scalloping,
sufficient material should be left at
the nck and sleevea to allow for ths
working- of the scallops with ease.
The scallops can be drawn in pencil
With the aid of a spool. A tiny spray
of flowers on the front of the little
. dresaes lends an additional touch of
. daintiness. The frocks art especially
aultablo for ths vacation time.
