Show THE INTER-MOUNTAIN REPUBLICAN. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 6. 1908 For the INDUSTRIOUS NEEDLEWO, By ADELAIDE BYRD PICTURE FRAME Jor @ CHRISTMAS GIFT "2 made by twelve be dono merous be that a sort of fancy tape, which may be purchased at most art needlework shops, would be very useful in holding the front and the back of tne frame together It might be used as a binding, or else It might be placed over the four corners to keep the frame quite firm. To embroider the peacock feathers, begin with the greenest of the two bronzes, and do the stem and the flues tn the ordinary stem stitch. which is a little closer than the outline stitch. The outside ring of the eye of the feather Is done in a solid stitch, using the browner of the two bronze shades. The next circle should be left unembroldered and the next smaller clrcle, which directly surrounds the center of the cya, should be done tn the brightest creen, The eye ODAY again I am giving you a pretty design for a Christmas gift. It ts intended, as can plainly be seen, to be made up into a picture frame, and I have had It exactly the correct elze for the regular ten photograph. on tan art I linen tickings carried out In or or suggest else denim, three that on one and shades the of thant and work the nu- the design five colors: yneé green-a really green green-two shades of blue and two shades of bronze. which combines both brown and green. With these a very good imitation of a peacock feather may be made, which will be both artistic and beautiful. As to the making up of the picture frame after {t ls embroidered, it may be mounted by almost any stationery firm, or it might even be itself, or the very center of the feather, should bo done tn dark blue, with a slight shading of a lighter blue toward the top. Of course, all this work on the eye Is done in the solid or satin stitch, so that the effect Is a beautiful blending of solid colors. Both feathers are done in the same way, and the work must be very carefully done, so that there will be not the slightest shade of difference between them. I have given the directions In regard to the colors in the very best way I know how; but the way to get the very best effect js to copy a real peacock feather as closely as possible. I know of a woman who once undertook to embroider a chasuble for a church, and the design chosen contained over fifty butterfiles. My friend did not undertako in any way to blend her colorings by the laws of art, but she turned to niture, and she caught with her own hands the fifty butterfiles that she required. She chloroformed them So that they would be still long enough for her to copy, and then she let them go. Tho result was a remarkable piece of work, and one that would be difficult to equal. Why not take the troubie to get a real peacock feather and have the work done correctly? "passepartouted." I have chosen [t because! think it will be a design that will take comparatively little time to embrolder, for there {s very little of it, and the stitches employed are very simple. A really economical and ingenious woman eould easily mount the frame by cutting out the equare for the picture, snipping it at the corners ané putting the whole frame on a piece of cardboard cut the same size and arranged with a corresponding square. The edges should be pasted fiat to the wrong eide of the cardboard. Now the next thing to do would be to adjust the back. To do this, cut another piece of cardboard exactly the same size as the front of tho frame; cover it with linen to match the material on which the embroidery its done, and paste it on three sides to the frama, leaving the fourth side unpasted, so that the photograph may be slipped in, It ts very difficult, of course, to arrange 2 stand for se home-made photograph frame, but two amal] brass rings are easily sewed to the back, and then the picture can be hung on the wall. She who wishes to make the frame at hoino will find HOW TO APPLY "THERE are two ways to apply this design to the material upon which you wish to work it. * If your material is sheer-such as handkerchief linen, lewn, batiste and the like- the simplest method is to lay the material over the design and, with a well-pointed penceil, draw over each line. Ii your material is heavy, secure a piece of transfer or impression paper. Lay it, face downy, upon the material; lay the pattern upon this; then draw over each line of the paper design with a hard pencil or the point steel knitting needle. Upon lifting the tern and transfer paper, you will find a and accurate impression of the design your materia There are two points to observe in of a patneat upon this BABIES' @ THE Lesigned bY Ling Streeper a time until the needle fis empty. On the third row repeat the same process as for the first row, but pick up the vertical thread instead of the chain stitch, or the in white the same r t 4titch of pink, where could one find a more attractive combination materials required for the afghan are eight skeins of cream-white Germantown zephyr, mine skeins of blue zephyr and one skein of pink zephyr.

In this hree rows of afghan stripe in blue of pink rosebuds with the pink zephyr. This may be done with an ordinary crewel needl nd the work will not be difficult, for the stitches will mark off the length of each, so that the design will be easily carried out. _ o finish the afghan, make a shell stitch of five double crochet all the way round tne edge In every other space crochet a shell In blue, and finish the whole with a scalloped edge of white with a picot of blue This, while it may sound rather complicated is not at all dificult to make, for the embroidery may be done on the plainer stripes before drawing the yarn loops at carried out, and the combination of color.

Does that sound strange? It ts not, however, for, if you possess a plain and unattractive pin and wish to give it the cachet of originality, all you have to do is to embroider a tiny {sk of black satin, or any ade that you prefer, with gold thread; put tho disk over the head of the pin, tlo it really "straightaway". more intricate what women sewing glitches is who made trouble. these at My things small object cost in {s to put and ‘elling before at lUttle you about you the daintest. yet at the same time the sim- up in the middlc creases thus and the bag Today there are two workbags to which IT wish to ca‘l your attentlon.

One is, see that your material is level-eut and folded by a thread-and that your design is placed upon it evenly at every point. The second is, when placed accurately, secure the design to the material with thumb tacks or pins so that they cannot slip during the operation. Transfer paper comes in white, black, blue, red and yellow. I advise the use of the lighter colors when possible, as the black and blue are so liable to crock. Do not rest your hand or fingers upon any part of the design you are transferring, else the imprint of hand or fingers will be as distinet upon the material as the drawn lines of the design.
