THE OREGON 'SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. .' SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 21." 191 r ForflielNDUSTRlOU S By Adelaide y Bag Design? Ay CJ. &ucJcmn i f I 2 i NOW that summer ia here and the coolness of -washable accesso ries In demand, I tm glad to offer you a' design for a handbag that can be embroidered and punched to your heart's content, and worn with a satisfaction that all feminine heart know. This handbag can be in white, tan or in the fabrlo to match your dress; and since It, requires so tittle ma terial and a very email amount of work, I know that you will enjoy making something that combines the practical with the beautiful. The front and back are shown and there is put is for good measure a lit tle cardcase or a case for bills. The dash ed lines are for seams, and if you wish you can eliminate the seam at the lower edge by folding the goods along this line. Transferring should be done so that the flap will have the embroidery, on top when the bag is closed by either button and buttonhole or a patent snap that can be bought at the notion coun ter of a department store. The little sketch shows the bag when completed. Work the design In solid stitch after padding the flowers with darning cot ton. The stem can be done In- outline stitch or fine stem stitch. After you have done the embroidery, the punched work can be attempted. This Is an old favorite and an easy way to the dec orative end. It Is done by punching a coarse needle through the material at the dots. The thread is passed from story that I could tell is endless. The green and blue shades are effective. Orange and tan on tan linen always give a wonderfully bright result; the one dot to another on the right side, and outlining of black gives a fin finish when taking it to the dot below the needle is taken on a slanting line un derneath. The frequent punching through the goods makes the open ef fect that resembles Mexican . drawn work. Be, sure not to pull the goods. The punching will do the work. When working the top the same method Is taken. The contrast of the solid and the punched work is very ef fective. After padding the scallops of the edge, work in buttonhole stitch as usual. The little case should have a lining the same slse as the top, and the outer edges should be whipped together In a neat line. The embroid ered flap can be single and worked be fore the whipping is done. It can be dosed over the case by a clasp or by a washable crocheted button and a loop. . The set is completed by adding a handle of cord to the large bag and providing fasteners for the top. A lining of washable silk In color can be made if you wish a touch of color. When you consider the possibilities of color on white or tan linen, the to any color. Indeed, the convenience and beauty of this bag are too great to ignore, and the hour or two spent on the making will be mny times repaid. V If you have no use for a handbag, do not discard this design, for it can be put to many 'other uses. The little motifs can be placed on the tops of pincushions, small dollies, other shaped bags and on the ends of towels, scarfs and tray covers. Many articles are raised to a plane of distinction by having a little bit of handwork added to them. It is such a profitable way to spend a few minutes each day that I am surprised to find in many homes an absence of the hand embroidery that can never be replaced! by other work. If you get the habit of having an embroidery bag, with a piece of work in the process of; embroidering, you will unconsciously add to that val uable linen chest. Try doing a little work of this kind each day as a rest from the other work of the home or business world. I know that you will profit by the plan. Jef A. e 9 -'twc Men rim sheet V' Coiffure Ornaments OP COURSES you are dancing. Everybody is; and if you attend all the summer dances you will re quire a varied assortment of coiffure or naments. - The Grecian coiffure is in high- favor at present, so if you wear your tresses in this manner, ornament them with a Grecian fillet. The handsomest ones are fashioned of pearls. In the needlework department of any shop you can pur chase pearl beads of all sizes. These are strung on strands of very fine wire of sufficient length to cross over the top of the "head to the ears. At the polnt where the strands are Joined attach a flat tassel fashioned of smaller pearl beads, which will hang over the ears. Another ornament can be fashioned by Joining four or five strands of ip earls to form a band long enough to encircle the head. This Is worn low over the SPECIAL OFFER EACH package of Friction Patterns contains a coupon, ten of which entitle the par-; chaser to an embroidery outfit,' consisting of One Celluloid' Fin-; ger Protector, One Task Bone Stiletto, One Silk Thread Winder, Ten Assorted Embroidery Nee dles.

There will be times, howeveg when the caped coat will be too heavy and a lighter i wrap will be needed. If the cape is made separate from the coat and simply Joined, to It with buttons and button holes, it is an easy matter to take them apart and let baby wear either the cape or the coat - alone. Do not make the cape too short, or It will not be quite the right thing .-or warm enough to . wear without the coat. A pretty fash ion is to scallop and buttonhole the edges of the cape with white sUk. A spray or two of silk flowers may be embroidered upon the fronts of the cape; but it is really best to cling to' the simplicity of the scalloping. When the little baby outgrows the coat. It wlU still, in all probability, be able to wear the cape. To Procure Back ' Patterns i; !

Initial and various u -1 - Cord Cqsq BUREAU SCARFS THIS bureau must be covered. And the scarf in its infinite variety comes to the rescue. It can be very Inexpensive and again as ornate and costly as your purse can buy. It can be used in its sheer glory or over the colored slip that will throw into re lief the open work or embroidery of the decoration. At any rate, the bureau -scarf should reflect the decoration of the room in which it is to be used; and if you can make the scarf Instead' of buying it, the end will be very much more satisfactory. If you have curtains of art scrim at the windows, reserve two or three yards for the covers and cut the strips to fit the bureau and the chiffonier. At the ends of these covers place bands of the floral borders, and. if any motifs are left, cut them out and applique them on the center of the covers to form a circle or crescent around the pincushion. This is such an easy way to decorate, and so cheap is the cover, that it can 'be thrown away when the summer dra peries are discarded. Plain material with bands of filet la very effective. The bands should be placed in horizontal rows at the ends of the scarf and filet used for. the cover of the pincushion that will grace the top .of the bureau. Under this type of " cover there should be a colored slip to give a contrast for the lace. Cretonne bands on white mull are eas- , lly applied; and if the hangings and . pillows in the bedroom are of this popu lar summer fabric, the touch of cre tonne on the bureau scarf makes as surance doubly sure. The flowers can be cut out and appliqued on the mate rial, the raw edges being stitched by machine near the edge. This work will last and is almost as effective as stencil - work.. Try this if you doubt the fact. As for stencil work, the opportunities are countless. With the regular outfit that is purchasable at any department - where art needlework supplies are to be bad. you will get materials and sugges tions for many scarfs. Designs, either conventional or floral, are to be bought; and if you find nothing suitable, you can trace your own design from the wallpaper or the cretonne material and, after cutting the stencil from the sten cil board; paint through the openings on the plain goods. The stencil paints or dyes are waterproof, and therefore will wash. Dotted mull, point deeprtt. barred dimity or. organdie will make ex cellent fabrics for bureau scarfs. The sp plication of color in the form of straight bands at the hem or as bind ing along the edges will add a touch that will deUght you. ' There Is a decided preference for col ored embroidery on white scarfs The color shotlld repeat the note of the pin cushion; or other hangings. Scallops, daisy motifs, eyelets, punched work and solid embroidery in color are excellent in. their ' pleasing contrast on white. Any simple design can be transferred from many suggestions that are at hand. The ordinary designs on any page for embroiderers are full of possi bilities. A separate motif with a spray, of fide leaves can be taken from a pat tern for a blouse, for example, and placed in a straight line at the end of a bureau scarf. Bands of .single flowers can be applied and embroidered.' 8hadow stitch Is easy for large designs. Darn ling stitches In colors can fill in a space in a short time. The ever-popular French 'knots are pleasing means to the em broidered ends.- Seed stitches, which are small back stitches In parallel rows, fill In hsaves and flowers or conven tional designs. Really, there le no excuse for unat - tractive scarfs at any time. ' The work Is too easy and the scrapbox too handy. The results speak for themselves.. The Newest Method in Transferring THERE? is a last word in transfer ring, andLhere It Is: FRICTION TRANSFER ' PATTERNS Remember this name, because you are going to prove the worth of the newest method In transferring embroidery de signs to any fabric or material.
