COUCHING QUICKLY DONE. For the busy woman who has little time to embroider sofa pillows there is one that works up very- quickly I' is the couched pillow Many designs J can be done in couching, but the fa ) vorlte one for this stitch is scroll U work A cord soutache braid, wool or rope silk is laid about the design and tacked fast by far apart button M hole stitches of fine silk or thread f A rather pretty fashion Is to have i the buttonholing thread of a contras' w ing color to that used for the largp S couching thread. The buttonhole M stitches should be about an eighth of an inch apart Still another couching stitch, not so 3fl elaborate, is that made by laying the M heavier thread on the stamped out line and fastening It with perfectly straight across stitches at regular in ft tervals, so that the stitches made In ( the finer thread look like neat little ' staples Be careful, however, that the stitches are never so far apart that the heavier thread springs out of position. The stitches are usually ffi) somewhat closer when rounding curves. i INITIALING. For plenty of us who are not expert ex-pert needlewomen It Is rather diffi cult to embroider in high-padded solid stitch an Initial that is thoroughly satisfactory.

Why not use cross-stitch initials 1)1 on some of the various things that you 'IB wish to Initial? Cross-stitch Initials are very pretty, but moBt people seem iA lo have forgotten about them. Stamp -rj the Initial on the linen, or copy the initial from one of those little paper 3 cross-stitch patterns that come espe--, daily for the purpose. They work up quickly, look well and answer the purpose of the high-padded, more elab .J orate solid initial. t40 "DIFFERENT" CABBAGE Most people, especialy men, like Kj cabbage It might be served to advantage 8M much more frequentiv than it Is usu-W usu-W ally found on our tables.
