JAMES FOREMAN CLARK, OF BOSTON Mrs. Clark (nee Miss Aileen Hughes, daughter of the late Sir Sam Hughes) and her husband, recently returned from a honeymoon hunting for big game In Africa. For the Knitter To Use Tops of Worn Silk Stockings A helpful suggestion as to how to make use of the tops of silk stockings' after the feet are beyond repair is to cut oft the feet, then go around and around tho stocking leg, cutting into an Inch-wide strip as evenly as pos- sible, and having It all In one piece when finished; by using a little care this can be easily accomplished. Start the next stocking in the same way, and continue until you have them all cut. The ends may be sewed as the work progresses, and the lengths rolled or wound loosely in a hall, ex- actly as rags were cut and sewed and wound in balls fo rthe old fashioned rag carpets or rugs, woven in days gone by. If most of the stockings are dark, or there ia a sameness in color, it is an excellent plan to scatter bright pieces through the ball, even though in order to do this you must cut the lengths apart; but if there Is a good variety, simply assort them and Join the strips. After a little study, you can readily decide on a method that wll give the best effect. Strips of from one to two yards, in light or bright, medium and dark colors, sewed in a harmonious "hlt- or-miss" arrangement, give a charm- ing oriental effect. Using a very large wooden crochet-hook, simply crocket the Joined strips into any article de- sired â€" pillow-cover, wall-hanging, couch spread, or whatever Is needed, using any plain or fancy stitch and working evenly but loosely. Do not mind the raw edges, they add to the pleasing effect; let them fray as they will. Finish the edge by binding witl^ ribbon, with a crocheted scallop, or not at all. In any case, your work will be soft to the touch and charming to the eye, like some antique or orien- tal bit of dFapery. One can knit the strips instead of crocheting them, us- ing large wooden needles and any simple stitch; plain knitting, back and forth, is effective, as is seed- stitch â€" knit one, purl one, casting on a nuneven number of stitches to be- gin with, so they will alternate like tiny checks. A very pretty open stitch Is made by knitting one, then over, knit one, and repeat; on the re- turn row, knit the stitch, and slip the "over" without knitting. If tho first stitch of each row is slipped. Insert- ing needle as If to purl, a neat edge results. A Needlecraft Tip. You can make very attractive and serviceable hot-dish mats, using ivory rings one Inch In diameter, as follows: Fill a ring with sixty-four doubles, then work double in double, around; In next row work a double treble In each of four stitches, chain | needle; pass through second stitch of three, and repeat, making sixteen i back needle as If knitting, and leave spaces In ail, then slip-stitch to the middle of first group of double trebles, fill next space with six trebles, fasten with a double In middle of next group and repeat. A set of one dozen rings can be made by Joining six for the the stitch on the knitting-needle. Con- tinue from until all the stitches are taken off the needles, and fasten the yarn down the side In order to avoid any ridge across end of toe. When properly made, there is apparently no meat-plato and making two smaller break in tbe continuity of stitches ones of three rings each; but the from top to bottom of toot over the mats can be made of any size and . toe â€" a too-flnish which means com- shape required.

"A Wilton," according o the defini- tion of the rug manufacturers, "is s wool or worsted cut-pile fabric con- taining from two to six colors, woven on a Wilton loom. The loom l.s equip- ped with a certain attachment and achieves the pattern by means of punched stencils which control the se- lection of colors drawn over a wire, one color at a time, from frames of Individual spools of skein-dyed yarn; the threads not selected by the atr tachment to make tho pattern will always be found buried throughout tho centre of the fabric. A Bniasels has tho sam« charac- teristics and Is made by the same method of manufacture as a Wilton* It Is woven on a loom, tho colors being picked up, one at a time, the balance remaining 'deai'.' la the centra of the fabric. The loopj forming the pile, however, are uncut, which Is tho only differeaee between a Wilton and a Brussels.

It may be made of solid colors or may have a design formod by printing tha colors on yarn wound arouiij a cir- cular drum, liia dyed strands being woven over wires, tlie loops being cut after weaving; or the design may ba stamped on the v.oven fabric.
