Fine Needlework All through the ages fine . needlework has been the mark of a lady. Infinite patience, skill in workmanship, appropriate materials, and delicate colors or rich hues make heirloom trea- Many of the early embroideries were done in wool on coarse canvas by counting the threads of the canvas. This was termed canvas work, later known as needlepoint. Sometimes the wool design wholly covered the canvas. Sometimes a large part of the canvas or fabric background was left underrated. . . . Some modern crewel pieces feature the designs in wools Of many different colors, while other designs are carried out in several shades of one color. This latter method was popular in the Colonial era. . . . Needlepoint as we know it today was introduced to England by Mary, the wife of William of Orange. It became quite a vogue during the 18th century, and is still very fashionable for use in traditional homes. Because of the lovely designs, and the sturdy wearing qualities of this wool stitching on a canvas ground, it has never been ✓ out of "Style since its first introduction and has steadily grown in popularity. . . . Many early needlepoint designs were created by famous artists of the period. As flowers and swirls of the rococo style became more fashionable, the small stitches such as the diagonal stitch or half cross stitch became more popular. Some of the centers of the decorative motifs were worked in petit point, or small stitch, while the surrounding area was worked in gros point, or large stitch. Some of the designs contrasted silk thread with wool thread, while other designs were pointed up with china or glass beads.--From "The Story of Fine Needlework" in "McCah's Treasury of Needlecraft." They Pay To Sit In This Farm's Ditch Farmer Jesse Reese felt on top of the world when his geiger counter revealed that uranium was lying all over his land near Comanche,. Texas. But his prospect of great wealth swiftly faded. The uranium turned out to be such low-grade stuff that the government wouldn't buy it. Then one day a stranger knocked at his farmhouse door and said: "Radiation therapy for my rheumatics has cost me a small fortune during the past years. D'you mind if I come and sit on your land for an hour and get a little free treatment? I'm told it's radio-active so it ought to do me good." Jesse consented and the stranger felt so much better after squatting in one of the large radio-active ditches on the farm, that he spread the word Pretty soon scores of rn,en and women from miles around began to bring their aches and pains to Jesse's ditches. It wasn't long before they became a great nuisance. They left gates open and spread litter. So Jesse charged every person two dollars to sit on his radio-active soil. But that didn't stop them. By the end of that week rheumatism sufferers were queueing up to get in. Jesse suddenly saw that here was a wonderful way to make money. He built a huge shed in which sixty people could sit on the soil which, as shown by the certificate which Jesse now exhibited on the wall, was giving out some kind of rays. To-day Jesse is netting an income of about $1800 a week CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 8ABY CHICKS EGG producers, don't heavy dual purpose less and eat more t six special egg breeds usicu ueiu», Our new Tweddle series 400, 401. 402. r of the White Leg-Warren Rhode Island Red and our sensational Warren Rhode Island Red, which produce a dozen eggs on 5 lbs. of feed.

Jesse isn't the only person with a strange but well-paying occupation. On an average, Miss Frances Williams, a petite and pretty Pennsylvanian, attends three weddings a week throughout the year. And at every one of them she's a bridesmaid. She claims to be the world's first full - time professional bridesmaid and earns a big in- She noticed that the ordinary bridesmaid rarely knew her job properly -- how to button and arrange the bride's dress, how to ensure that the bride looked her best and so on. So Miss Williams launched out as a full-time bridesmaid at fashionable weddings In church she is always at hand to whisper advice to the bride. At the reception she makes everybody feel happier and everything go smoothly. In France they call Madame Faes "the most tactful woman in the world." She earns a good income by writing other people's letters -- including young folk's love letters. When an ardent lover wants to write his sweetheart a "real scorcher" and feels incapable of finding the right words, off he goes to Madame Faes. In the privacy of her office the love letter is written, full of felicitous phrases and pulsing with passion!
